The fourth double-length episode to air in the series.
Murray and Richard Leroy filmed the live-action meatloaf scene on Murray's patio with a wind-up camera to capture the colors of early 1960s films. Murray cooked the meatloaf and Carol Wyatt, the color supervisor, placed press-on nails on her hand and used her hands in the scene. At first, the camera did not work. When Murray decided to end the shoot, the camera functioned, allowing for the shoot to continue. During the filming, two flies landed on the meatloaf. Leroy believed that the flies spoiled the shoot, while Murray believed that the flies enhanced the shoot. Murray used the plates involved in the production of the scene until he accidentally broke the plates; Murray discarded the plates.
The episode was inspired by the fact that Joe Murray wanted to end work on 'Rocko's Modern Life' once his contract was over. The crew joked that he should do a show about "Deli meats", and this became the premise of the episode.
The second and last episode to feature Rachel Bighead before her transition. Outside of this, she had a cameo in 'Rocko's Modern Christmas' and her famous quote from 'Wacky Delly' is featured in the episode 'Momma's Boy'.
