Egg Yolkeo is the 13th episode of the fourth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show that originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on 3 December 1994.
In a parody of Pinocchio, Ren pounds eggs and wishes one of them would become his son. [1] His wish is granted by the Blue Chicken Fairy. [2] Ren's son, Eggyölkeo is a moron who bonds with Stimpy. [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]
The production of the episode is "notorious for its descent into utter chaos". [3] Stephen DeStefano stated: "It 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 an 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]
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]
