    "Are you ready kids? Aye-yi captain! I can't hear you! Aye-yi captain! Ohhhhhhhhh!..." What an introduction to one heck of a catchy theme tune (I should know, I have that as my opening music to my PC)! To describe this series as funny is an insult... it is hilarious! From Spongebob's camp laughing, Patrick's stupid antics, having a Texan squirrel named Sandy Cheeks (get the jocular name?), or Mr. Eugene H. Krabs' Popeye-influenced laughter. There is nothing that is not truly comical creating a truly unique cartoon that has become one of the most popular cartoons from the late 1990s! When I mean unique, we are talking about the unique "Nick-Toon" qualities that Rocko's Modern Life introduced to viewers from the mid-1990s! If you did not know, that Stephen Hillenburg worked as a writer, creative director/producer, director, and storyboard artist to Rocko's Modern Life. Earning many Golden Reel Awards, Emmy and Annie nominations, a Blimp Award from the Kids' Choice Awards, and a TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Children's Programming, this cartoon has become extremely popular show became a hit with Nickelodeon viewers and is extremely popular with adults, as over 40% of the show's one million viewers were over 16. But, like Bob the Builder and Ernie and Burt from Sesame Street, the main character has become a gay icon within America's gay community, despite Hillenburg denying claims that he is gay! The voice actors that have provided the voices to these delightful characters had already have been in this business for many years before doing this show. Except for Carolyn Lawrence, which plays Sandy Cheeks, only played Sorority Girl for the 1991 Jodie Foster drama, Little Man Tate, before doing the voice for this renowned character. With cool music from a group called The Blue Hawaiians, this cartoon has really been well thought out, and each episode well scripted, cramming in loads of humour, gags, and one-liners to make them really funny. Overall, with cool music, catchy theme tune, original and inventive characters, and a gay icon, this is a children's cartoon destined to become a cult classic!
