Filburt also seems to have an obsession with fishsticks. Filburt has an extremely weak stomach and even the slightest wrong movements can give him indigestion. He also has a hobby of snatching the wigs of wild birds. His current age is 20 years old, lives in a trailer and has no job (he earns his money by collecting cans "here and there" and then sells it to the recycling factory). Filburt Turtle (voiced by Doug Lawrence): Rocko's other best friend, a neurotic turtle started out as a background character and became a main character in the second season.As his last name suggests, he was raised by a family of wolves who decided not to eat him as a child. Strangely, even though Heffer is male, he has been shown on a number of occasions to have udders. His favorite food is "Pasture Puffies." Though he is normally portrayed as being jobless, he has worked in a number of professions including a waiter at a coffee shop, a salesman at a tree farm, a mail carrier, a security guard at Conglom-O (which induced him to go insane), and he worked at his favorite restaurant, Chokey (later Chewey) Chicken, also a newspaper delivery man. Heffer Wolfe (voiced by Tom Kenny): Rocko's best friend, a happy-go-lucky and not-too-bright steer whom he met in high school.He has unreasonable bad luck and treatment from others in most episodes his current age is 40 years old.
A running gag is that other characters assume that Rocko is another kind of animal (usually a beaver, kangaroo, rabbit, or a dog), and then he goes into a lengthy (and often unconvincing) explanation that he is a wallaby.
It is also credited for being the precursor to SpongeBob SquarePants, and Camp Lazlo. The show was renowned by many as one of Nickelodeon's freshest, most offbeat offerings, as well as being laden with suggestive double entendres. It was created by Joe Murray and based on his own childhood in Australia (hence the main character being an Australian animal). The show concentrated on the life of a wallaby named Rocko trying to survive everyday modern life in the city of O-Town. Rocko's Modern Life was the fourth Nicktoon, which aired from September 18, 1993, to November 24, 1996.
