Ed, Edd n Eddy - "Run for Your Ed"

Now, let's review the episode that came on after "A Case of Ed," and surprisingly, aired the exact same month of February in 2004. It's called, "Run for Your Ed," A take on the old saying "Run for your life!" You can run, but you can't hide from this review.

 Late at night, The Kanker Sisters noticed that someone has broken into their kitchen, and not only that, but they also took their family air loom, the ship in a bottle. Without bothering to call the police, the Kankers decide the next day to wreak havoc on the innocent people of the cul-de-sac of Peach Creek, causing Rolf to hide in his cellar. Meanwhile, Ed has the ship in the bottle stuck on his finger after his sleepwalking stroll. And yes, Ed was the one behind the damage of the Kankers' kitchen, but the trio doesn't have time to worry about that, they have to try to get the bottle of of Ed's swollen finger, while the Kankers terrorize the city. How will this be resolved? Watch and find out.

One thing I should mention is that the Ed Edd n Eddy wiki refers to it as the Destruction of Rethink Avenue. I would also like to point out that this episode kind of reminds me of the 9/11 terrorist attacks from 2001, and strangely enough, this episode came on a few years after that happened. Strange, isn't it? Also, I would like to point out that Kevin never bothered to even beat up the Eds once in this episode, I guess he was still grounded for reasons unknown in "A Case of Ed," but both these episodes are episodic and they belong in their own separate category. At least, the city has been evacuated. I would have to think that the damages would've cost hundreds and thousands of dollars to repair.

Overall, this episode has all of the characters intact, and they all get something to do, and even Sarah knows how to stop the attacks, simply by telling the Kankers where the ship in the bottle is. You know, for a spoiled brat, she knows how to handle situations like this. But either way, this episode is pretty funny, Lee and Marie's lines in the kitchen are quite hilarious as well as their reaction to their ship in a bottle being stolen. The only people who never got injured during their rampage were the three Eds and Rolf who was stuck in the cellar.

All in all, the Kankers did get their ship in a bottle back, and three days had passed, and Rolf still hasn't come out of the cellar.

Watch it if you run across it.

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?

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.
