Yes. A lot of that crew went on to incredible things ( Conrad Vernon, the director of the Shrek movies was also on that crew.) My crew on Camp Lazlo also had some future show creators like Thurop Van Orman and JG Quintel who is in production at CN on "The Regular Show!
hello joe murray my mane is Alexis I am you fan I've always had a question? what would the DINOSAURS🦖🦎🦕 look like with the drawing style of alive in rocko's modern life?
Rocko was more of a personal project for me, but there was a lot of butting heads with the network which took the enjoyment out of it. Lazlo was more enjoyable because Cartoon Network at the time was a better home for the show. Advice? A life in art is the most challenging and rewarding path you can take. Make sure you have the stomach for it and take the ride. It's a blast!
I watched the show about 2 months ago, since I recalled watching glimpse of it and enjoyed Camp Lazlo a while back. I say I quite enjoyed it despite not having much nostalgia for RML.
I oversaw every aspect of the show, and was the main story editor. I wrote quite a few premises and episodes myself. But I also had an amazing crew. Joe Murray
@joemurraystudio I wanted you to make the Patsy Smiles Movie from Camp Lazlo a 3D Version, like The Sandy Cheeks Movie from SpongeBob, and Camp Lazlo's own Voice actors
This was fun. My younger brother loves Rocko's Modern Life, and he's an aspiring animator... And he got me hooked, too, so now we're just. Here watching everything we can find that has to do with Rocko. If you're even still reading the comments on these old videos, just wanted to say thanks for giving him something relatively harmless to focus on; in these days, it's easy to get sucked into all kinda of problems. Also, Rachel helped him come out to me!
Yes, I wrote a book called "Creating Animated Cartoons with Character" that will be coming out this August through Random House/ Watson Guptil. It started as an ebook available on my site, and it did so well Random House caught wind of it.
Doesn't matter where i am, ANY time i mention Rocko's Modern Life, someone around me ALWAYS goes "Oh God I LOVED that show! I miss it so much, it was the best!" Then they start reminiscing on their fav parts. This was one of my ultimate fav shows and i still get a kick out of the few clips i can find. It'll never die.
Oh my god its the man himself!! Joe, you are one clever bastard for creating this cartoon. It was a defining moment in my development. Oh man.. and the episode with Wilbur and his infatuation with the jar of sauce, HAHA!
I don't like giving Viacom any of my money, but when I saw a Complete Series dvd of Rocko the other day, I just couldn't say no. Watching the series again for the first time since it went off the air, I'm realizing just how brilliant the show actually was and it makes me sad that there aren't any cartoons on these days with that level of imagination and creative anything-goes insanity. Kudos to you, good sir. I don't know what your cut of the dvd sales is, but whatever it is, it isn't enough.
To think, this awesome, talented man played the voice of Ralph Bighead. LOFL I laugh my ass off hearing this guy's voice, despite he sounds like an average Joe. You made quite the impact Mr. Joe. Im honored to have been just a 7 year old kid at the time I saw your hilarious work.
I am such a big fan!!! You are such an inspiration to me! I'm trying very hard to be a great animator and cartoon creator, although I'm still learning a LOT. Thank you so much for inspiring me to be a cartoonist!!! :D You are truly AWESOME
Of all the cartoon characters out there, Rocko is one character I can never seem to perfect for some reason. I always get the height or cranium wrong. I guess its because I'm way more dedicated to trial and error because Rocko is my favorite character and only act like I got it wrong subconsciously, but... dang... Anyways, kudos Murray. It was one heck of a series.
Awesome drawing joe! I have to say you are awesome doing cartoon shows, I love your show rocko's modern life, it's my number 1 favorite show ever, I even talk to my friends about this show and recommend it too. I have teenick channel now and I'm really sad they didn't show rocko's modern life now.
What you didn't know that some of your amazing crew had created the best cartoons like Spongebob, (Stephen Hillenburg) Phineas and Ferb, (Dan Povenmire, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh) it all goes on.
Hi Joe, i'm from Colombia and i used to watch your show at Nickelodeon, even in spanish the character's voices were so awesome. I'm still having good time watching the episodes.
I loved Rocko's Modern life as a kid, it was my favorite cartoon so far (along with Ren & Stimpy) and, at first, I didn't even know why, being honest, it was some sort of magic that kept me watching all the episodes over and over again....and now, as an adult, I still enjoy the series for a whole different reason....the original characters, the innuendos, the twisted humor...you were one of the few artists who managed to pull that off in a kids show back then...
You're one of my top inspirational artists! I tried combining elements of Rocko's style into my drawings and I love my work now! I agree that a life in art is the most challenging but also the most rewarding. I plan to 3D model/animate for video games or CG movies. There's no feeling in the world like seeing an idea come to fruition. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you Joe! I didn't know you had a Channel here, will be looking forward to more! Your work has been very inspirational to me when I was younger :)
Haha, I loved the voice over u did for Ralph Bighead, Joe. It was just sick. My favorite episode was "I Have No Son". I love it when Ralph keeps repeating "NEVER!". U rock dude!
ME ENCANTA ETA CARICATURA TENGO 21 AÑOS Y AUN LA SIGO VIENDO OJALA Y JOE MURRAY CREARA DE NUEVO LA CARICATURA YA QUE E VISTO TODOS LOS CAPITULOS ME ENCANTA LA CARICATURA FELICEDADES JOE MURRAY
It's nice to see Rocko is still alive in the creator's spirit, but it must be troublesome to get the whole team back together, especially with Tom Kenny (Heffer) is with Spongebob. Still, crazier things have happened so we'll never know. But I hope sooooooo much it does.
Rocko will always be yellow to me! I draw him a little more like the show because I learned how to draw him by watching it on the television at 2 in the morning, but when I draw him, I don't draw him beige anymore ever since I found out about the incident with the plush toy company.
i got skills hehe with drawing...but i dont know how to come up with my own characters i can only draw what i see ..i can get inspired from other artists but i want to make my own original characters but for some reason it doesnt translate on to paper i can only see them in my head...what should i do????
Dear Joe Murray, I thought Peaches from Rocko’s Modern Life was Rocko Rama’s brother-in-law in a demon costume due to the same voice (Tom Kenny) as a baby kangaroo from The Wild Thornberrys as well as Rocko’s uncle Gib Hootsen. The though takes contributions from the unused characters including Rocko’s elder sister Magdalene. - Rocko fan
I'm going to get Rocko, Spunky, Heffer, Filburt, Mr. & Mrs. Bighead tatted on me. =) Really excited, it's my first tattoo. Pretty much symbolic of my childhood.
whoaa likeing that tablet man you rock bring back so many memories thanks joe,.as a matter of interest what software do you use thanks all the best hitmanimation
This is awesome! Joe Murray posting videos on youtube, im only just learning of this. @ Joe Murray This show was great and pushed the envelope, its a shame that Nickelodeon no longer has great creator driven cartoons outside of Spongebob. Do you have any current projects in the works? I heard something about you writing a book?
*You turn the page, wash your hands.* *You turn the page, wash your hands.* *You turn the page, wash your hands.* *You turn the page, wash your hands.* *And then- you turn the page~ wash your hands.* *You turn the page, wash your hands.*
I loved this show back in day, I get a kick out of seeing it on Nick every once in a while. Is there any chance for a Rocko film or even internet short in the future?
Continue: joe Murray, I hope that doesn't bother you, but can you please revive rocko's modern life? I love this show and to me, rocko's modern life deserves more than 52 episodes, I mean joe, you're a genious, I'm sure you can make rocko's modern life again, just like 4 seasons of this show (which is all of em) I'm sure if rocko's modern life is revived in today's world, it would kick garbage shows of today's butt.
Cool. But I wonder... When he starts inking, the lines start out ratchety but immediately smooth out when he lifts the pen. How does he do that? I just got a new tablet and I'm trying to figure out how to ink like he is.
Hey Joe, I heard all about you since Rocko's Modern Life. I got the RML DVD from my cousin for Christmas in 2021 and the drawings and the style inspired me to make these characters for you to animate if you want to. I made the main character from the concept of Weird Al Yankovic and a horse to make him as well as Yankovic voicing Al Neighkolei. I made other characters associated the show that I have an idea for you to make, the shows is called "The Life of Weird Al" in the honor of him himself through time. I wanted to make these drawings in your style to become a show in the 2020s same with Rocko in the 90s, Lazlo in the 00s, Frog video I saw, and Let's go Luna in the 10's. I'm hoping that the characters I made for you would pass onto you. Do you want to animate these characters to make a show in the 2020s?
Ren and Stimpy, Invader Zim, and this show were my favorites during the 90s. I laughed so hard as a kid. Its a shame they canceled them all, especially this show. Im sure theres a bunch of legal issues, but I think its BS that Nickelodeon wont make DVDs of these. I mean whats the point in keeping the rights of the show if your not going to use it? Anyways please keep up the good work. I wish this show was 100% yours :(
As a kid, the show was great. But looking back, I can appreciate the writing, how there are those things that only the adults might understand. I've an itching question that may never be answered.. while I suspect that the character Ralph was based on yourself at least loosely, I wonder if you had a similar relationship with your dad, if that's why you wrote those two episodes? Oh yeah, and who are all the people hanging from the tree in the intro to "The Fatheads"?
I was totally squealing the whole time as I watched this. I must be the biggest dork ever. LOL. I find it amusing that they would have to start correcting your Rocko after a while! Did you have the same issue with Lazlo?
I don't mean to be rude, But im just wondering personally which cartoon do you like more? Rockos Modern Life or Camp Lazlo? By the way, your a big inspiration to my artwork. Besides designs and comic book artwork , I want to get into animation and go to CAL Arts. any words of advice for young artists out there
@joemurraystudio I can tell you might have clashed with nick because of some of the touchy jokes for kids in Rockos. Thanks. I can tell already that you MUST offer something fresh and new to the industry in order to work for it. Its been my dream since I was a Kid to be an animator and I'm willing to do what it takes to get there.
@joemurraystudio joe, would you do us all the favor and for christ sake, bring rock-o back. i know for a fact you probly are disgusted in what you see on tv now. atleast make a REAL dvd set that we can purchase. i hope you reply, or atleast read this. your a true hero to alot of people and people ages (18-25)
Yes. A lot of that crew went on to incredible things ( Conrad Vernon, the director of the Shrek movies was also on that crew.) My crew on Camp Lazlo also had some future show creators like Thurop Van Orman and JG Quintel who is in production at CN on "The Regular Show!
hello joe murray my mane is Alexis I am you fan
I've always had a question?
what would the DINOSAURS🦖🦎🦕 look like with the drawing style of alive in rocko's modern life?
WASSUUUUUUUUUP BRING BACK MY CHANnel!??………..
Rocko was more of a personal project for me, but there was a lot of butting heads with the network which took the enjoyment out of it. Lazlo was more enjoyable because Cartoon Network at the time was a better home for the show.
Advice? A life in art is the most challenging and rewarding path you can take. Make sure you have the stomach for it and take the ride. It's a blast!
Can’t believe how underrated this piece of advice is to young animators like me!
Thank you for giving us Rocko’s Modern Life… it’s the best 💛🌸
I watched the show about 2 months ago, since I recalled watching glimpse of it and enjoyed Camp Lazlo a while back. I say I quite enjoyed it despite not having much nostalgia for RML.
@@clamthechef2389I think they directly based camp lazlo off of rockos, especially since heffer is in the show finale
I agree with both of you Rocko is great character like Lazlo
I oversaw every aspect of the show, and was the main story editor. I wrote quite a few premises and episodes myself. But I also had an amazing crew.
Joe Murray
@joemurraystudio I wanted you to make the Patsy Smiles Movie from Camp Lazlo a 3D Version, like The Sandy Cheeks Movie from SpongeBob, and Camp Lazlo's own Voice actors
This was fun.
My younger brother loves Rocko's Modern Life, and he's an aspiring animator... And he got me hooked, too, so now we're just. Here watching everything we can find that has to do with Rocko.

Also, Rachel helped him come out to me!
I love Rocko. The character development with him was very well done. I love Rocko so much
I was listening and kept thinking "He voiced someone". Then the voice hit me... its Ralph Bighead. lol
It would have been funny to hear him yell "NEVER!"
Never. NEVER
Actually it's not Ralph anymore, it's Rachel
I HATE BOLOGNA!!!
@@ryanbarth6691 yep.
Yes, I wrote a book called "Creating Animated Cartoons with Character" that will be coming out this August through Random House/ Watson Guptil. It started as an ebook available on my site, and it did so well Random House caught wind of it.

I was actually planning on doing my next one of Heffer.
Joe
I freaking love this show
I'm opposite with this show
My favorite character as a kid growing up, thank you!
I actually drawn it almost exactly like you did!
Oh my god its the man himself!! Joe, you are one clever bastard for creating this cartoon. It was a defining moment in my development. Oh man.. and the episode with Wilbur and his infatuation with the jar of sauce, HAHA!
A part of my childhood, I love these cartoon :)

But I hope sooooooo much it does.
I love the way you draw the characters' mouths.
I love your work Joe. I love your characters. I Love your genius.
Thanks for inspiring me.
Im animator student, I can see how simple you draw structures. Very nice, I love that show!
It brings me memories :)
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when ever I hear you talk I hear Ralph Bighead O_O
He voiced him.
Love this show
Rocko will always be yellow to me! I draw him a little more like the show because I learned how to draw him by watching it on the television at 2 in the morning, but when I draw him, I don't draw him beige anymore ever since I found out about the incident with the plush toy company.

What's that drawing software called?
Wacom
He's kinda half Canadian.

i want one of those!
whoaa likeing that tablet man you rock bring back so many memories thanks joe,.as a matter of interest what software do you use thanks all the best hitmanimation
This made me think, I should probably buy a tablet now that Ive started to take drawing more seriously.
The first three seasons of Rocko have been released by Shout! Factory.
I am rooting for the release of Static Cling!
O baby o baby o baby
Rocko?!
Hello! That Rocko is so cutie. I agree with mattjnor98, can you draw Lazlo or Edward? That would be awesome!
This is awesome! Joe Murray posting videos on youtube, im only just learning of this. @ Joe Murray This show was great and pushed the envelope, its a shame that Nickelodeon no longer has great creator driven cartoons outside of Spongebob. Do you have any current projects in the works? I heard something about you writing a book?
I felt that Rocko Rama needs guidance from his bossy, aggressive and overprotective older sister Magdalene.

Do creators have a lot of influence on the script of the show? Or do they just work on concept designs? Also, I loved you as Ed Bighead.
What type of computer program do you use to draw with? It seems to smooth out and straighten every shape of the lines you draw.
nice
The for the tip!
Yeah, melba. Yeah, melba. YEAH MELBA
How to draw Lazlo? do you have a deviantart?
