[2] Eggyölkeo is kidnapped and Ren is deeply sad. [2] Colonel Strombolio turns Eggyölkeo into an Elvis-like singer in Las Vegas. [2] Ren and Stimpy go to Las Vegas to save him, but Stimpy eats Eggyölkeo by accident with his last words being "I love you Daddy!" [2]

Cast

Production

The production of the episode is "notorious for its descent into utter chaos". [3] Stephen DeStefano stated: "That was going to be my Ren & Stimpy masterpiece. And once it was finished, I realized it didn't really work as a cartoon or as a storyboard". [3] The story was intended to be half a hour long, but the network insisted on cutting its running time to 11 minutes, which threw the production into chaos and led to a story that makes little sense. [4] The episode was illustrated by the Wang Animation studio in Taiwan whose work was not up to the standards of other sub-contractors on The Ren & Stimpy Show such as the Carbunkle studio of Vancouver or the Rough Draft Korea studio of Seoul, with a notable decline in quality. [5]

Reception

The American critic Thad Komorowski rated the episode one star out of five. [6] Komorowksi wrote that Egg Yolkeo was an unfunny and confusing story that was very difficult to watch and enjoy. [5]
