History Trivia / RockosModernLifeStaticCling

* PromotedFanboy: Many of the fresh-faced artists working on the special had been fans of the show during its original run. Joe Murray admitted that they were better at remembering specific gags and details that the original crew had forgotten by that point.

* CrossdressingVoices: Rachel Bighead is revealed to be a transgender woman, however she is still voiced by her original voice actor Joe Murray, who is a cisgender man.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Funnily enough, the Japanese dub has many voice actors who worked in the dub of another show created by Joe Murray, ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'': Rocko (Kunihiro Kawamoto) is the titular Lazlo, Creator/YasuhiroMamiya (Ed Bighead) is Chip and Toshihide Tsuchiya (Filburt) is Skip.

* CreatorCameo: Creator and co-director Joe Murray reprises his role as Rachel Bighead, while fellow co-director Cosmo Segurson voices the culturally ambiguous pillow salesman, among other characters.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Due to the movie being stuck on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment from 2017 to 2019, some of the references to "modern" trends were outdated by the time the film was finally released:
** While selfie sticks were still in heavy use at the time, they are now considered a nuisance and are even banned at Ride/DisneyThemeParks.
** Hoverboards (self-balancing scooters), which are featured in one part of the film, quickly lost popularity once they started exploding without warning.
** The BlandNameProduct version of the [=iPhone=] that Filburt and Heffer go nuts over at the start of the movie has a ninth version, which was skipped for the [=iPhone=] X.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: As ''Static Cling'' premiered 20 years after the original series, some of the English and non-English voice actors have sadly passed away and cannot reprise their characters:
** English: Kevin Meaney, the voice of Widow Hutchison, died in 2016, before ''Static Cling'' got greenlit. The special [[CharacterOutlivesActor did wind up including her, but she was unvoiced]].
** Latin Spanish: Creator/CarlosInigo (Rocko) died in 2017, and Guadalupe Noel (Mrs. Bighead) died in 2009.
** Castilian Spanish: Manuel Bellido (Filbert) died in 2016, and Angel Egido (Heffer) died c. 2000.

** Japanese: Creator/SeizoKato (Ed Bighead) died in 2012.

* TheOtherDarrin: As aforementioned, many voice actors were replaced in the ''Static Cling'' movie:

** In the Latin American Spanish dub, Rocko was replaced from the late Creator/CarlosInigo to Gabriel Gama, while Mrs. Bighead was also replaced from Guadalupe Noel to Magda Giner. Mr. Dupette is a interesting case, as he was originally voiced by Alejandro Illescas in the last seasons of the TV series as the replacement of Alejandro Mayen, his previous voice actor, but since Illescas has also passed away, [[TheOriginalDarrin Mayen reprised the role once again]]. Outside those changes, the rest of the cast reprise their roles once again.
