Ed, Edd n Eddy - "A Case of Ed"

Remember when I reviewed Monkey Business? Well, I'm reviewing an Ed, Edd n Eddy episode that is quite similar to this. This is called, "A Case of Ed."

While Kevin is grounded for reasons unknown, Ed and Eddy celebrate his imprisonment. Double D returns from the library after buying some books that were on sale, including the plot important book in question, The Encyclopedia of Obscure Diseases. And Double D finds an interesting one, the Lack-a-Daisy-Cathro Disease, the name obviously has the last name of the show's editor, Ken Cathro. The symptoms are as follows, Rationalising of mundane circumstances, Habitual cleanliness, Abnormal fixation to headwear, and Weakness in lower extremities. Once Double D notices he has all the symptoms, he's convinced he has Lack-a-Daisy Cathro Disease, and Ed and Eddy tease him even more by adding even more symptoms like confusion, spontaneous difference in shoe size, and kicking people. And no, Eddy, rage is not a symptom.

Unlike "Monkey Business," Double D believes all this going on within him due to Ed and Eddy just teasing him, while simultaneously insulting Kevin who is still grounded. Double D could've been more suspicious to realize that this disease's symptoms are just common ailments, ailment means a minor sickness. However, right after Double D does get convinced he has this sort of disease, Eddy at first didn't quite care saying things like "Give it up, Double D, you're about as sick as Ed is." Obviously, if Eddy just tells Double D to go see an actual doctor instead of actually teasing him, then it would've been good enough.

On the plus side, Nazz does cheer Double D up knowing this is all a joke, and I like how Ed uses his toes as puppets in front of Kevin's window, and says to himself "I should be in show business." And once again, the fourth wall is broken in this installment, where Ed looks at the camera and audience and says, "That's some good TV right there." And when a howling sound effect appears out of nowhere, Ed says "I'm turning into a werewolf, Eddy." I wish I could say I felt bad for Eddy and Ed when they got beat up by Kevin near the end, but I can't because they deserved it for all the tricks they've pulled on Double D throughout this episode, which even goes so far as to take Eddy's key to his house and they get a beat down from Kevin and Double D refers to it as Kevin's Pummel Disorder. I still have one question, WHY was Kevin grounded in the first place? Did he call the three Eds dorks too much? Did he bully someone? Did he do something illegal in Peach Creek? Okay, that's all just nitpicking, it's a meh episode.

If you wanna see this plot done better, go read my "Monkey Business" review. Please?
