Static Cling is ballsy enough to champion the marginalised and smart enough to accomplish it without abandoning the show's lovably strange approach. The special may cause discomfort in some, but it's the kind of discomfort they need to feel in order for them to hop aboard Rocko's train of thought.

It's a colourful, candid special that sets the bar absurdly high for other '90s 'toons itching for revivals.
