Rocko's Modern Life R-E-C-Y-C-L-E

[onemidnightgone]

Screw Ferngully, this song is the reason why I became an environmentalist.

[MartenFerret]

1:24 The bunny has cute toes.

[htomsirveaux42]

Those fluorocarbons are kinda cute.

[DreaJinx]

Omg I use to have this recorded on VHS

[filorps]

Good News Everyone!

[SpartyFan1213]

Our government should listen to this. And yes, this pops in my head as well.

[86RockandJock]

1:25 should have been Stephen Hawking.

[88coldsummer]

hajha, i love this song!! someone should cover it :)

[AubrynVonStrange]

LOOK IT'S THE GRIM RECYCLER!

[Thatblack1]

@AubrynVonStrange Hey he said no autographs!

[AubrynVonStrange]

@Thatblack1 Noooooooo! :'(

[Baron1Semedi]

this show is sooo boss

[Schochr05]

cartoons suck nowadays, very few good shows you can watch with your kids

[RichSummer107]

even the weirdest of shows preached conservation and recycling back in the day.... oh th 90's how i miss you so

[RoxyMoron101]

I use this song to remember how to spell recycle and pollute and conserve

[slade535]

Rocko missed the practices, that's why he doesn't know the song.

[Politoed89]

I love how everyone's singing and Rocko's just standing there like "What the hell?"

[bune88]

I emember this song, but in the spanish version, I just sang along with this version, Good nostalgia :')

[FreshNapp]

In 4th grade me and my buddy would reenact scenes from this show, including this scene, and scenes from All That. Our teacher stopped the class at the end of the day and let us do it haha.

[FreshNapp]

I still remember this song. I have stopped at the 20 second mark but i cant still tell u the whole thing. recycle recycle, conserve conserve. if you pollute the land around and sky and seaaaaa. then you'll get what you deserve! something like that. then someone gets struck by lightning.

[em129836]

80's babies rise up...

[Mrgummib36rz]

Nick Sucks today Who The fuck wants to watch some Cam whore and some fucking kid that always has a boner for her

[GabbyAndSteph]

This taught me how to spell recycle.. No shame.

[zlatan43]

Let's face it, this beats every other environmentalist message we've all heard.

[mrsuns10]

I declare war on Nick cause they suck and fucked their old fans

I'm also proposing a coup against Nick

Replay if you want to join war

Spread the message copy and paste If needed

[dragoscorca]

I am Burning Diesel in my Car Every day when I go to JOB. So oil companies.. KISS MY ASS, ASSHOLES!

[sojogurl]

lol, this is how i learned how to spell 'recycle', 'conserve', & 'pollute'. who says cartoons can't teach you anything?

[patsrule1112]

15 years of the ozone being eaten and were sill alive....weird. awesome show just got season 1!!

[airondee]

DAMN IM GOOD!!

*thrusts into air*

can you feel that?!

hunh?!

can you feel it captain compost?!

The day of redemption is at hand! REPENT! and thou shalt be saved....

[clarizzedeguzman]

can i use this video for our class reporting?

[ManiacalMichael504]

I've been looking for this one for years... such an entertaining yet informative song. I remember recycling back then too. In Jefferson Parish everyone had a blue bin and I used to make sure everyone was putting the right plastics in! The good old days... hard to believe that was 20 years ago now.

[jacksparrowguy]

Rocko should've won the Oscar, not Gore!

[aerosoloholic]

why is there a bone right where his dick should be?

[Kaizerworks]

I love this song, it's iconing of my childhood in the 90's.

HOWEVER:

You could take an area of 50 square miles and you'd have enough space for a 1000 years worth of garbage production for all industrialized societies.

Also, saying that if we stop using trees it will make more trees is like saying if we stop eating french fries there will be more potatoes. If anything we need to worry about the clearing of forests for cattle.

THE MORE YOU KNOW~

[naruto9003]

This show is A:) Epicsauce. B:) Better than the modern cartoons C:) The best, along with other Nickelodeon classics like R&S, Rugrats, and Catdog. Obviously A, B, and C.

[YemachshemotoIslam]

10 people weren't born or grew up in the 90's.

[EmperessClaudia]

10 people are going to get what they deserve....and I want to be there to see it.

[Akee1990]

Very true.And nowadays we're reapin it

[PkFiraga]

Why does it look like Murky the bear has a bulge in his pants?

[neptuniumforest]

So true lol

[TheTVcasualty]

I always sing this song at work when taking out the recycling.

[PureMadness]

After all these years, I still remember the lyrics (even w/o Youtube).

[mrsuns10]

This needs to be a PSA and Al Gore needs to watch this so he cab shut up

[JLeww69]

I remember every word to this song and whenever I hear the word recycle I sing this :D

[antikku01]

@JLeww69 LOL ME TOO

[msPlatypus9999]

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coen68]

10 people polluted the river, sky, or sea and got what they deserved.

[tantofazousuario]

Hey, let me know what about this...

Google: Recycle You Too - A game to teach and entertain people

[zform1820]

easy listening and nice tunes,I love the song, should make it for children sing at their childcare center or school.

[HELLOIMSPARTA]

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E recycle C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E conserve if nick used this them for the big green help i would have cared but i dont if they use shit like icarly lol

[checkunderyourbed]

...or else we're gonna get what we deserve! HAHAA...tell that to the GOP.

[waxination]

Joe Murray made a new show called "Frog in a Suit", you can watch the first episode free on youtube. He needs your support.

[MashBananaPirate]

I still randomly sing this

[PokemonRaichu26]

haha that pile of garbage is telling ME to recycle when yet, he is a pile of trash. lol

XD

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

LOL i luv that song to death cartoons were more the best way back

[regularcox]

Rocko Is Like WTF

[Kanadwen]

@RollnKutter same lol

[FullmetalninjaDR]

Holy Christ! I haven't seen that since I was a kid +/- 14 years

[texjoy86]

The Grim Recycler is known to charge as much as $40 for an autograph. What an asshole.

[crisy003]

I had this song on my Nickelodeon CD when I was little :) It helped me remember how to spell those words at a young age, I could really impress my teacher :) Nickelodeon needs more shows like these! They may have seemed crude, but they did have educational value to them.

[shmoogaly]

that was surprisingly very educational

[75VWhippy]

Al Gore doesn't have shit on Captain Compost Heap

[iamloganharris]

@75VWhippy LOL

[TarlaTorres6012]

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E recycle..C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E conserve..don't you P-O-L-L-U-T-E- Pollute the river, sky or seas or else you're gunna get what you derserve!!!! great message ;D

[marshone323]

this song has been stuck in my head for the past few months

[5utar1a]

this is how i learned to spell "recycle"

[joepescifromcasino]

this episode was on yesterday

[TLancer129]

best PSA ever

[namaste19]

i still sing this song about once a month and i'm 23

[8x13Wolf]

I can still remembering being a little kid, announcing to my first grade class that "If we're not nice to mother nature, she'll kick our butts", and getting scolded. Good times to grow up in.

[NTeague123]

i got a cooolest new green samsung reclaim recently..go green!

[crazyocdgurl]

FUCKIN AMAZING

[beatboxer04]

Look! It's the Grim Recycler!

[hrjert1]

Jeff "swampy" marsh, Daniel Povenmi won an Emmey for this song, they also won an Emmey for "ain't got no rhythm" witch was in Phineas and Ferb.

maybe the sprite of the 90's still exists

[Shadowsamaman]

Captain Compost Heap sorta reminds me of the Great Mighty Poo

[RealisticFantasy]

I'm so proud that I watched this show enough in my childhood to remember this song by heart. :'D

ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE WHOO!

[usatrackfeene400]

this was more educational to me than the cartoons now a days! lol i miss the old cartoons (sigh) tv sucks!!!

[mommyandbaby89]

LETS GO BACK TO THE OLD NICK CARTOONS

[GameaPlaya]

Grim Recycler ftw!

[accentplaya18]

**MUST RECYCLE**

[WorldChallenge]

This was back when they made learning cool.

[loudmouth4life]

lol is it bad that i actually remembered the lyrics after so long??? this was one my favorite episodes lol.

[iloveyou312]

@loudmouth4life I did too, its okay lol. and i was probably only like 5 when i last saw this

[peternoer]

Tom Kenny,,, Brilliant voice actor

[adofri]

watched this as kid mate me depressed in a happy way lol

[fendergurl920]

This is much better than Cats.

[DNDerek]

Ahhh.. childhood..

[austinismadcrunk]

It's been 13 years and this song still pops into my head frequently.

[philldafunk]

@austinismadcrunk I was just thinking of this song literally 2 days ago!

[edgemachine]

Why doesn't Al Gore just play this anytime he talks about the environment? Then people might listen.

[carolina8225]

I love Rocko's Modern Life!

[DeFyAnTFoX]

"you see boys and girls if we dont show mother nature respect she'll kick are butts!" XD i lovd this one...wasnt this the last ep as well???

[Mattsass8]

Al Gore has nothing on Captain Compost Heap

[namr3h]

@Mattsass8 true dat!

[buddyluv1989]

this is why the 90s cartoons was the best

[80sgirl2010]

Yeah, Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, Real Monsters, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain

[shad0wnage]

almost 10 years have passed and i still cant get that damn song down

[TheYoungTopGun]

You know, this is funny, but the message in this is real and people don't pay attention to this.

[Karnezar]

The Grim Recycler XD

[RosesNightengales]

This was in the 90's. I miss this!!!!! COME BACK!

[octavia16093]

wow, i never realized how much i was learning back then until now, i enjoyed that video and im 19...i miss things like this, cartoons now are a bunch of b.s.

[crybabygirl08]

It was becuase of this song, I learned how to spell Recycle in 2nd grade!

[mrsuns10]

Can anyone explain to me why this isn't shown in classrooms today? It teaches a very good lesson and for the older kids of my generation it will bring back the memories of this

[Animepenguin39554]

@mrsuns10 I'm actually going to do a spanish project based on this episode. The project is to recreate my favorite childhood show and to make sure a lesson is taught. This episode was the first thing to come to my mind when hearing about this project.

[BarrSnacks]

ROFLCOPTER!!! 4:32

[rhcprocks21]

I miss the 90s cartoons :'(!

[FalcoPWNNch]

Epic song is epic.

[KingOystar]

CCH was so great!!

[SergeantSkelly]

Shows like this and Captain Planet taught very timely lessons and targeted them at young audiences in the hopes of raising awareness and interest in conservation and sustainability. While things do look grim, there is more support than there ever has been, and innocent cartoon songs like this can be accredited

[tokidokilager]

i love how we grew up with shows that taught us important lessons, unlike shows today, which are just mindless bullshit.

[DAVN121]

The problem with nickelodeon now is that they basically used "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" to find what programs to make a profit off of. The artists back at this time were making layered animations with messages to all levels of adults and children. Children don't know about gays or racism, they just know the zaney animations are funny to look at.

[MissChristineMarie]

I still sing this song to this day! LOL!

I miss Rocko :(

[droserabinata]

@MissChristineMarie Meeee too! Nobody ever knows what it is lol

[auron508]

Cartoons in the 90s were so much better. I'd rather see the old ones from ~15 years ago played over and over than subject some of these kids to the utter garbage they put on now. I'm only 22 but I think I deserve to say "In my day, cartoons were better.".

[JustinACap]

@auron508 Ditto man.  It's the same reason you're going to remember them for years to come, and the same reason we remember good classic rock instead of the pop shit that infects the radio stations. Same thing.

[80sgirl2010]

Me too. I'd even rather watch Youtube Poop of some old stuff than reality TV, court TV, the new Nickelodeon, and the Disney channel being reduced to Playhouse Disney and kiddie sitcoms.

[Jennixbabiix30]

@auron508 i miss this cartoon nothing compares to today animaniacs 90's were the top of cartoons and i'm only 17 and i remeber this

[DreamerxImagine]

@auron508 You are 22 but i'm 12 this year and i must say , i agree with you 100%

[84Martin]

@auron508 I'm 26 and I hear that!

[biggingeryeti]

@auron508 You'll be yelling at kids on your lawn next...

[BigxXxBoy]

@auron508 absolutly agreed and ive said this myself, cartoos are just week nowa days and seem very feminine, toons back in our days were just so much better.

[69time1991]

@auron508 ditto feel the same way

[opalura]

Haha I still remember the words. Win! ;P

[SB83D]

I read on wiki that the voice of spongebob was first used in one of the Rocko's Modern Life episodes...

so at 0:41 is that the voice of spongebob? It sounds kinda like it.

[ScrapBrainZone]

@SB83D Tom Kenny voices a lot of characters in Rocko. He's about 90% of the extras, and the voice of Heffer.

[degosaru]

8 people do not recycle.

[jake56666]

Favortite rocko episode

[Voli23]

Yeah. I think we're getting what we deserve already.... :(

[JayRitzy]

Damn some of the best cartoons growing up, Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, the Angry Beavers, Doug. Its a shame we don't see these toons anymore expect for reruns.

[UEhappydudey]

@JayRitzy Hell we barely see them at all on T.V. the only way to even see the reruns is to have nicktoons.

[mrsuns10]

Anyone who didn't like this show is a jackass. There's a reason why it's contreversal.

[boomerang2455]

1:14 look its the grim recycler! XD i love that,no autographs please.

[MrBlockishMark]

I've learned more from this show than I ever learned at school

[nico623]

I still get this stuck in my head all the time...

[slapshotoi]

They make Climate Change sound so fun and silly! Great show!

[fweepers]

Compost

C arbon

H eap.

[SuperKaitie333]

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E RECYCLLLLE! C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E CONSERVVVE! DON'T YOU P-O-L-L-U-T-E THE RIVERS LAND SKY OR SEA OR ELSE YOUR GONNA GET WHAT YOU DESSERVVVEEEE!!!!!

Ok, now that I've written down the chorus, can I have a billion thumbs up?

[EmoKebbin]

@SuperKaitie333  there's no land between rivers and sky

[SuperKaitie333]

@EmoKebbin

It wasn't in that order... and I messed up... your a jerk! D:

[ortonfan166]

Holy crap! A singing pile of garbage!! And I don't mean Justin Bieber either!!

[SuperKaitie333]

@ortonfan166

You should win best comment of the year.

[13rokenknightascar]

there are 8 people so far who hate all of the folloqing:

Rocko's Modern Life

Musical Numbers

AND recycling/ conserving garbage

you 8 people suck

[Bekll]

@13rokenknightascar They most surely do.

[jwild611]

Everyone I've talked to that hasn't seen this show in years can still recite this song perfectly...now that's a kickass cartoon for you! Rocko will never be topped by todays shit

[angeltosome]

This should have been in An Inconvenient Truth.

[omgpotatochips]

Why does the bear have a bulge?

[googpower]

Man this song scared me soooo much. I still remember after I saw this song I asked my dad if we recycled and when he said no I freaked out and thought the grim reaper would take my oxygen away. I occasionally have a nightmare about it despite of how rediciculous it sounds. But I was 5 when i saw it so give me a break

[mrsuns10]

If Al Gore saw Ed's song in this episode he would have a heart attack

[XxLuNaKaTxX]

I don't remember my childhood too clearly, but I think it was around the time I saw this episode that I became a huge tree-hugger, and I didn't even get half this stuff at that age. My only question is why we don't have this on TV for today's children.

[StreetReach]

The original going green.

[chocomaniac780]

i belive this is the governments fault

THEY CUT DOWN TREES MAN AND THEN THEY BUILD HOUSES AND STUFF AND THE ECOPNOMY SUCKS ENOUGH AS IT IS AND THEN THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT POLLUTION AND THE OZONE LEAVE THE TREES ALONE

like foamy says RESPECT THE TREES RESPECT THEM ALL

[homeflakes]

I vote we force Republicans to watch this.

[RantingGamerGeek]

This is sorta saing recycle or die but in song.

[hotsmexychick]

ha i love rocko!!!!

[AsheyBlack24]

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E ......C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E.....Don'­t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E ...pollute the RIVER, SKY, or SEA or else AL GORE is gunna LECTURE MORE

[Salesman]

The one part that always cracks me up about this part in the episode is how Murkey the Bear and the slug guy are dancing to the tune. I love that.

[catloverKD]

The full episode is called Zanzibar (sp?) and it's now uploaded in English, just search for it.

[BillyG800]

best fucking song for the best fucking show.

[Phenominal222]

I can almost quote this word for word and its been almost a decade since I last saw rocko, we should be replaying this kind of stuff for today's generation.

[rekrap112]

@Phenominal222

Netflix now has Rocko. I watched it last week. You'll soon realize why they don't (or can't) play it anymore. It's rated the most controversial cartoon show. Even over Family Guy because Family Guy is directed towards a late teen to adult audience. While Rocko was a kids show

Badass show though

[Bekll]

@rekrap112 Most controversial? What about Beavis and Butthead, Butt-Ugly Martians, or Ren and Stimpy? 

[rekrap112]

@Bekll

It's on IMDB if you want to look that up. Or google, both work.

Beavis and Butthead like Family Guy was intended for a mature audience. Same as Ren and Stimpy. However they cut most of the worst stuff on Nickelodeon. When it came back onto Spike TV. they had the unedited versions.

I have never seen Butt-Ugly Martians. Nor read about it on the 20 most controversial cartoons. So I can't debate that.

But as for Rocko...Chokey's Chicken Restaurant....yeah, subtle indeed

[ZurkonTheDestroyer]

Can you upload Ed's song?

[angelcool1236]

I love this song. LOL i know its dorky but my old nicktoons CD still provides me with entertaining music haha

[violetxrain]

I remember this. Yeah, I just thought I'd be the 7686th person to say that.

[0Lottee0]

This episode came on one morning before Elementary School, the same day we had a spelling test....can you guess what word it was?

Kid you not. Rocko's Modern Life helped me pass a spelling test on the world 'recycle'. Good times man. Good times.

[dennisbergkamp17]

I used to love this show. What I would give to go back to the 90's.

[BergenNorwegian]

can you tell me where i can download this song?

[cbelly06]

Idiotic LIBERALS!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

[breakingagainstgrace]

and also angry beavers.

[YouFoundTheWaldo]

@breakingagainstgrace In Canada they still play Rocko's Modern Life, Invader Zim, Angry Beavers and the Rugrats they also play Ren And Stimpy.

[YouFoundTheWaldo]

@breakingagainstgrace And Catdog.

[breakingagainstgrace]

after nickelodeon got rid of rockos modern life rugrats and hey arnold nothing was good. they ruined themselves by canceling the best cartoons that ever existed.

[avilezfilms]

recycle helps a lot our planet, i made a video about it its call "si reciclas ganas".. i know is in spanish, but its about the same tittle.! check out..

AvilezFIlms

[clemenx]

*tear* So good.
