Plot summary
Rocko's house was blasted into orbit, taking him and his friends Heffer, Filburt and Spunky with it, and the four spend 20 years adrift watching old recordings of The Fatheads. When Filburt spots the remote that steers the rocket stuck to Heffer's backside, they land in O-Town, where two decades have brought touchscreen phones and new customs. Heffer and Filburt take to the changes at once; Rocko, overwhelmed, shuts himself indoors. Bev Bighead comes to greet him and has to explain that The Fatheads left the air long ago. In the meantime, a mistake by Ed Bighead at Conglom-O, triggered by the landing, ruins the company and leaves the whole town bankrupt. Ed loses his job, and his home is marked for demolition. Rocko proposes that Mr. Dupette revive the show.
