Rocko's dog, Spunky, is idiotic and frequently walks into situations, which can result in situations such as him being packaged among meat, usually through short-sightedness or natural hazards instead of malice. He is never harmed nor upset by these situations. Occasionally, anthropomorphic characters are treated in ways animals are, such as being turned into meat.

Rocko will often runafowl of a recurring character named Gladys the Hippo Lady by accidentally getting in uncomfortable areas - to which her voice deepens as she exclaims "How dare you!" and attacks him.

The final episode, Future Shlock, has Rocko and his friends flung into space - Static Cling technically continues this story, but changes a lot of the details and therefore is hard to take as a proper continuation.

In "Who's For Dinner", Heffer goes looking for his "real father", who it turns out is an A-hole. He returns home with a newfound appreciation for his adoptive family. Heffer's family can themselves vary in quality as parents from episode to episode.
Ed Bighead disowns his daughter in "I Have No Son", and in the Static Cling movie he misgenders her - in both situations, he eventually learns the error of his ways.

The Christmas episode has an ending credits gag, but it is not relevant to the plot, and - on virtue of being a TV episode - the credits are very short.

The show discusses both police corruption and prison reform in "Uniform Behaviour" and "Ed Good, Rocko Bad" - the prior focusing on Heffer becoming a cop and growing mad with power, and the latter focusing on Rocko running a political campaign to give dogs in dog pounds better treatment
That being said, Heffer being arrested is treated as a "karmic comuppance" in Uniform Behaviour

Very brief usage of "Eskimo" in "The Lounge Singer".
Occurs in-universe in the episode "Floundering Fathers", where all the characters share inaccurate stories of how their ancestors discovered O-Town - The Native O-Townites are drawn quite stereotypically, but are also made out very clearly as the victims by the plot, with Mr. Bighead being forced to literally repay them for his ancestors - who didn't kill the Natives, but rather shortchanged them on breath mints - in the end.

Arrests occur in "Uniform Behaviour" and "From Here to Maternity". The prior is treated as karmic, and the later is towards a father while his eggs have yet to hatch - though the mother still arrives in the end to see the egg hatch.

In "Wimp on the Barbie", Rocko forgives his childhood bully, Dingo, who has since converted to a pacifist religion/cult - though Heffer and Filburt don't. Dingo's childhood bullying was very silly and cartoonish in nature.
