Ralph Bighead

Ralph Bighead is Ed and Bev Bighead's son. He was disowned by Ed for not wanting to work for Conglom-O like his father, so he went to Hollo-Wood to become a cartoonist, which had always been his dream. However, he and Ed finally reunited and ended their feud after Ralph attends his parents wedding anniversary after being informed of the event by Rocko.

He rose to fame after creating a cartoon show called The Fatheads (a married couple based loosely on his parents). Afterwards, thinking he's out of the cartoon business, his bosses tell him before letting him go, to create a new show. In an attempt to get out of his contract, Ralph hired Rocko, Heffer and Filbert to create an intentionally bad cartoon called "Wacky Delly" to have it immediately cancelled (Instead, the show became a runaway hit, much to his dismay).

After several attempts of creating bad episodes, such as showing a tub of mayo for ten whole minutes. Discouraged that he will get out, he finally gets involved in the series, "Wacky Delly" is canceled, and his wish to leave the studio unintentionally comes true. In the end, he finally creates his masterpiece, only to find out that it is not as popular as "Wacky Delly" originally was.

Ralph tends to be more stoic than his parents and speaks in a much calmer, lower and monotone voice. However, when angered (as show in his debut) he starts having outbursts and begins beating his own head much like his father.

Creator Joe Murray did the voice portrayal of Ralph.
