Ed, Edd n Eddy - "Momma's Little Ed"

Yep, I wanted to review an Ed, Edd n Eddy episode sooner or later. And that's what I'm going to do right now. Today, I'm reviewing this one, it's called "Momma's Little Ed." A little background, this first aired on April 6, 2001, the same the second Fairly OddParents episode aired, as well as the Invader ZIM episode, "NanoZim." The reason I say this is because both Ed, Edd n Eddy and The Fairly OddParents were both animated by Yeson Animation Studios. Now, with that off my chest, let's begin.

While waiting for Double D to finish his chores to go with Ed and Eddy on their play date, Eddy and Ed decide to sabotage this by making fake notes using Double D's parents' handwriting. For those who don't know, Double D's house is filled with sticky notes, even going so far as to put labels all over his bedroom. It goes up from a disgusting broom lint, to dressing up Rolf's pig, Wilfred in s tuxedo, and even up to the point of asking for a cup of sugar from the Kankers. Double D, now frightened and exhausted from all these ridiculous requests decides to stay with Eddy, much to Eddy's disappointment, and the episode ends on a happy note.

Much like its predecessor, Wish You Were Ed, this plot is all over the place, but in a good way, but unlike Wish You Were Ed, this one doesn't even bother to bring up a scam, not every episode needs a scam you know. The fourth wall is broken once again in this episode stating that Kevin was not even in this episode, which is true, and besides I'm not a fan of that character that Kathleen Barr voiced. But I am a fan of her other character she voiced, Marie Kanker, she would later use that voice for my favorite character from MLP: Friendship is Magic, The Great and Powerful Trixie. The reason I say she's my favorite is because since Season 6, Trixie has become a semi-regular of some sorts.

Okay, back on track. The final verdict? This episode is really funny! Especially with the ridiculous requests Ed and Eddy pull on Double D, and even Rolf and the Kankers' appearances were well timed as well. Eddy also regrets kicking Double D out of his own house, mostly because it was mostly Ed's fault for destroying his mirror ball, and speaking of which, as always, Ed is enjoyably stupid and funny, at least he never got flanderized. Know why? Because Danny Antonucci, the creator and director of the show never created the character to make him more stupid, Ed is just a slightly dim-witted person. Overall, this episode has a nice moral, don't leave behind your friends, even if you were the one tricking them. Eddy had to learn that out the hard way.
