Mortimer didn't willingly leave Filbert's body, but passed out of him while he was on the can. Mortimer surprise attacks Heffer as a toilet soon after.

In "Feisty Geist," Mortimer Khan takes over Filbert's body.Ed Bighead, a cane toad, has an adversarial relationship with Rocko, a wallaby from Australia.Get ready for a Rocko rewatch with this look into everything the cartoon aims straight at adults. Somehow, Nickelodeon made kids fall in love with a show full of jokes about the DMV, stale careers, and literally going to Hell - and it holds up just as well today as it did back then. But nowadays, you're a grown-up with taxes, clogged gutters, and a whole new understanding of the Bigheads' troubled marriage. Sure, you didn't get most of these jokes when you were a child.
