George Maestri, a writer for Rocko's Modern Life, describes the episode as containing the elements of "every bad roommate I've ever had, though I never had a nudist for a roommate." [7] In a December 17, 2007 entry in his personal blog, Maestri discussed the Nicktoons special "The 100 Greatest Moments in Nicktoons History," held "a few weeks" prior to the post.

Murray described "Jet Scream" as one of his favorite episodes because he often traveled between Los Angeles, New York, South Korea, and other places during the production of the first season of Rocko's Modern Life.[4] In addition, Martin Olson, a writer for Rocko's Modern Life, described "Jet Scream" as one of his favorite episodes despite the fact that he did not write the episode.[9]

Olson, creator of Bloaty and Squirmy, described the work for "Dirty Dog" as one of the most memorable moments in the production of Rocko's Modern Life. Olson found Murray's drawn designs of Bloaty and Squirmy to be humorous. Olson said that he and the crew "had tons of fun recording and singing my nutty "Bloaty & Squirmy Theme Song"." [9]

Murray described "I Have No Son" as one of his favorite episodes because it addressed issues affecting Murray, the directors, and the writers. Murray also cites the presence of The Fatheads, created by Doug Lawrence.[4] Olson describes "I Have No Son" as one of his favorite episodes and the "opening" of the Fatheads cartoon within "I Have No Son" as one of his favorite individual scenes.

Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, a storyboard writer, says that the "biker horse" who fixed the Wienermobile originally said "Retorqued your johnson rods." The censors forced the creators to alter the lines to "...retorqued your curtain rods..." due to the sexual innuendo in the original statement. Marsh and the other crew disagreed, believing that children would not comprehend the meaning of "johnson." Marsh describes the particular "biker horse" as a caricature of himself and the other motorcyclists as caricatures of Dan Povenmire, Marsh's wife, Doug Lawrence, and Robert Skull.[10] Another scene that was cut from "Road Rash" in all Nickelodeon reruns shows Rocko and Heffer going to a place called "The No-Tell Motel", where it's implied that the motel is used for prostitution.

Murray says that Stephen Hillenburg and Mark O'Hare contributed most of the material to "Snowballs." Murray describes "Snowballs" as one of his favorite episodes, as it was based on a "personal experience." When Murray was eight years old he experienced skiing for the first time. During a vacation to Lake Tahoe his father found skis at a yard sale (circa 1940s); Murray's father believed that the skis would be a proper cost-cutting measure and that the skis possessed the same quality as or better quality than rentals.

Murray described "Belch of Destiny" as one of his favorite episodes because the episode supported his theory to "let kids be kids." In addition Murray recalled the memories of himself, Hillenburg, and O'Hare laughing after listening to the "belch talking" track of David Pritchard, a former Warner Brothers producer. Olson imagined Heffer "belch-talking," an activity he describes as "popular with kids" and something "parents would hate." Murray approved the story and Olson wrote the story. Olson, Hillenburg, and O'Hare arrived at Pritchard's studio and recorded a test recording. Olson believes that Hillenburg created the idea involving Heffer belch the "You talkin' to me?!" lines of Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. Murray and his crew arranged an official recording with Pritchard. Murray recalls that, during that period, Pritchard could not belch talk, even after Murray bought him beer and spaghetti. Olson recalls Murray giving Pritchard an "extra spicy" burrito to help the belch talking. The belch talking tape used by Murray arrived several days afterwards. Olson recalls that most of the belch talking used in the episode originates from the test recording instead of the official recording.[4][9] Olson described the "Belch of Destiny" scene involving Heffer belch-talking in front of a mirror as one of his favorite individual scenes.[9]

They create a show called Wacky Delly and it turns out to be a hit. Ralph's frequent attempts to sabotage the show makes it even more popular. When Ralph is encouraged to get involved in the series, his wish to leave the studio unintentionally comes true. In the end, he finally creates his masterpiece, but only to find out that it is not as popular as Wacky Delly originally was. The episode title, Wacky Delly, mirrors the title of the show Rocko, Filburt, and Heffer create, and is notably spelled incorrectly (as opposed to "Delly" being spelled "Deli"). The show-within-a-show Wacky Delly uses an excerpt from the song "Dutch Clog Wedding Dances" played on a band organ as its pilot's soundtrack.[13]

Murray described "Wacky Delly" as one of his favorite episodes because it addressed issues affecting Murray, the directors, and the writers.[4] Murray described the episode as requiring "some very strange story elements" and that Olson helped Murray "keep the wacked out edge" of the episode.[14]

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.[15]
