| ~ One of Filburt's catchphrase. |
Filburt Shellbach is a fictional character, an anthropomorphic turtle, and the tritagonist of the animated television series Rocko's Modern Life and the comic book series of the same name.
Whenever Filburt feels uncomfortable or disturbed, he is known to say, "I'm nauseous! I'm nauseous!" He also occasionally says, "Oh, boy" and "Oh, fishsticks."
He was voiced by Doug Lawrence who also voiced Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants, and Edward Platypus from Camp Lazlo.
Personality
Filburt is a neurotic, nerdy, and friendly turtle who is Rocko's other best friend, along with Heffer Wolfe. He is shown to have nausea frequently, as he usually states, "I'm nauseous" repetitively, which serves as a running gag throughout the show. Together, they all get into misadventures that puts their lives in jeopardy, and they usually have to find their way out of them.
He is shown to have a rivalry with Heffer at times, such as when they both want Rocko to take them to a wrestling match and fought for his decision, and them fighting over which of their cartoon characters was better. He falls in love with Dr. Paula Hutchison and eventually becomes her husband. They are also the parents to four children, though Filburt is secretly suspicious that only three of them are his, as while two his sons look like him and his daughter looks like Paula, his remaining son looks remarkably like Heffer.

Trivia
- In addition to being a parody of Woody Allen, Filburt also clearly comes across as being an extremely blatant stereotype caricature of Jews due to numerous traits/features of his that very much include, but are not quite limited to, his ludicrously thick "Jewish Nerd" accent, his downright irrational fear of germs and social interaction, the way in which he counts his potato chips like coins at one point in the episode "Put Out To Pasture", his comically massive nose, and his obsession with quite literally hiding in his shell.
- His "Mr. Cheese" character in the episode/show "Wacky Delly" constantly calls itself "the best character on the show," presumably as a reference to the fact that Filburt himself is voiced by one of the writers of Rocko's Modern Life (Doug Lawrence, who would later become the voice actor for Plankton in SpongeBob SquarePants) and has many of said show's best lines.
- The only banned Rocko's Modern Life episode where he serves as the main antagonist was Filburt the Murderer, where he downright became an emotionally unstable mass murderer, as he got such a thrill killing almost 2,300 people in O-Town, he couldn't resist going back for more. This happened after he blew up the Cine-O-Plex theater, presumably killing everyone inside, and got away with it in With Friends Like These.
