Production

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 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]
