Rocko's Happy Sack / Flu-In-U-Enza is the eleventh episode of the first season of the classic animated television show Rocko's Modern Life. The episode follows the misadventures of Rocko, a wallaby who is constantly faced with strange situations in his everyday life.

In the first part of the episode, Rocko is excited to receive a free "happy sack" from a local grocery store. The sack is said to contain a surprise gift, and Rocko eagerly opens it to find a toy paddle ball. However, the toy quickly becomes a nuisance as it constantly bounces off his head and disrupts his daily routine. Other characters in the show, such as the cow couple, Heffer and Filburt, also receive happy sacks with equally disappointing contents.

Meanwhile, an outbreak of the "flu-in-u-enza" sweeps across town, causing everyone to fall ill. Rocko, who has managed to avoid catching the flu, is tasked with taking care of his sick friends. However, his efforts are hindered by his annoying paddle ball, which continues to bounce around and cause chaos.

As the episode progresses, Rocko's situation becomes increasingly frenzied. His paddle ball begins to affect his job, his relationships, and even his ability to care for his sick friends. The situation comes to a head when Rocko accidentally launches the paddle ball into space, causing it to become a hazard for an orbiting satellite.

The episode touches on themes such as consumer culture, the fickleness of happiness, and the importance of taking care of oneself and others in times of illness. With its zany humor and colorful animation, Rocko's Happy Sack / Flu-In-U-Enza is a great representation of the off-kilter, whimsical tone that the show is known for. Fans of the show and newcomers alike are sure to enjoy this episode and its wacky, unpredictable storytelling.
