1 | A ShowWithinTheShow on ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' created by Rachel Bighead, formerly credited as Ralph Bighead. |
2 | |
3 | It stars three characters: |
4 | * Betty Baloney, the only female. |
5 | * [[PunnyName Sal Ami.]] |
6 | * And Mr. Cheese (or Lester Roquefort), the best character on the show, better than the salami and the baloney combined. |
7 | |
8 | The show is about them having weird adventures in the deli where they were created. |
9 | |
10 | The show was actually Rachel Bighead's [[SpringtimeForHitler attempt at getting fired]] so she could do other stuff. But the [[ContractualObligationProject executives forced her to make another show]] after the success of her previous series ''JustForFun/MeetTheFatheads''. Soon, she decided to embrace her job, and so tried to run the show on her own, which ended up leading to its demise. |

12 | ---- |
13 | !!''Wacky Delly'' contains examples of: |
14 | |
15 | * AnimateInanimateObject: The entire cast is made up of these. |
16 | * AnthropomorphicFood: A salami, a baloney and Wacky Delly's best charakter, a cheese. |
17 | * AntiHero: Sal Ami can be one, DependingOnTheWriter. |
18 | * BlackComedyCannibalism: Sal Ami eats Betty, but Mr. Cheese, who's better than the other two combined, survives. |
19 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: A scene where Sal Ami whacks Betty Baloney with a telephone was edited out in later runs, though this may have less to do with [[WomenAreDelicate Betty being a girl]], and more with time constraints. |
20 | * CartoonCheese: The best character of the show Mr. Cheese, of course. |
21 | * CatchPhrase: |
22 | ** Sal Ami: "[[FantasticRacism I HATE BALONEY!]]'' |
23 | ** Betty Baloney: "Oh boy! What a beautiful day!" |
24 | ** Mr. Cheese: "[[SmallNameBigEgo I am the cheese! I am the best character on the show! I am better than both the salami and the baloney combined!]]" |
25 | * CrossdressingVoices: Betty is voiced by a male wallaby named Rocko. |
26 | * DerangedAnimation: And ''how''! Most of the show consists of cartoon violence (including Sal Ami beating up Betty Baloney with a telephone), and no plot whatsoever. |
27 | * DisneyDeath: Betty Baloney comes back to life seconds after being bludgeoned to death. |
28 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "10 Minutes of Mayo" |
29 | * FantasticRacism: Sal Ami '''really''' hates Baloney. |
30 | * FlatCharacter: Mr. Cheese has almost no personality, but he's still the best character of the show. |
31 | ** Better than the salami and baloney combined, in fact. |
32 | * GenkiGirl: Betty Baloney. |
33 | * GenreShift: Season 2 took a drastically different direction from season 1 by abandoning the more comedy-oriented structure of season 1 and opting for a more artistic direction. Needless to say, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks it didn't go over well with viewers]] and led to the show's swift demise. |
34 | * HamAndCheese: Mr. Cheese is better than the ham, who doesn't show up, because he knows that he's not as good as Mr. Cheese. |
35 | * LeaveTheCameraRunning: "10 Minutes of Mayo", as the name implies, is an episode consisting of nothing but a jar of mayonnaise sitting motionless on a table. |
36 | * LimitedAnimation: Especially the episode "10 Minutes of Mayo". It's just a jar of mayo on screen. |
37 | ** Even more so with another episode comprised entirely of overexposed footage. |
38 | * MinimalistCast: Only 3 persons: A salami, a baloney and Mr. Cheese (who is the best, better than the other two combined.) |
39 | * MoralGuardians: The media painted ''Wacky Delly'' as a major threat to the country because of its "confused morals". |
40 | * NoFourthWall: Mr. Cheese wants to remind you he is the best character on the show. |
41 | * NoIndoorVoice: Sal Ami screams over the phone. |
42 | * OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight: Subverted. Rachel Bighead delegated most of the work to other artists early on, with the fan-favourite debut episode featuring almost no input from her at all. When she took a more hands-on role at the end of the show's run, critical and commercial reception plummeted instantly, leading to the show's cancellation mid-episode. |
43 | * ThePowerOfCheese: He is the best character on the show, better than the salami and baloney combined. |
44 | * PunnyName: Sal Ami. |
45 | * ReachingBetweenTheLines: Sal Ami attacks Betty Baloney through the phone. |
46 | * ShoutOut: |
47 | ** "Ten Minutes of Mayo" is one to the works of Creator/AndyWarhol. |
48 | ** During the first episode, we hear both [[WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} Goofy's]] yodel and his signature holler. |
49 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Mr. Cheese, who says he's the best character of the show. |
50 | * SpiritualSuccessor: To Rachel Bighead's previous series ''JustForFun/MeetTheFatheads''. |
51 | * SpringtimeForHitler: Meta-example, as Rachel Bighead had intended for the show to fail, to the point of attempting to ''sabotage production''. |
52 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Betty Baloney is the only female of the three. |
53 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The second season was a massive departure from the first, and fan reaction was very negative. |
54 | * TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Inverted and played straight. "Ten Minutes of Mayo" and the overexposed episode seem incomprehensible but were hailed as brilliant, while the second-season episodes that went in a more artistic (and narratively-coherent) direction turned off the audience. |
55 | * VomitIndiscretionShot: One episode has Sal Ami grabbing Mr. Cheese, [[ImAHumanitarian eating him]], and then puking him out. |
56 | * WouldHitAGirl: Sal Ami has no qualms about whacking Betty Baloney with a telephone. But see {{Bowdlerise}} above. |
