Ed, Edd n' Eddy

Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy meets WWE/TNA/AEW. Yes, just yes.

This episode was kinda slow at first, but once we see the Eds setting up this wrestling ring, it got amazing.

Even if you're not a fan of wrestling or sports entertainment, you'd still get a kick out of this episode with just how serious Eddy seems to be taking it. This episode really had a lot of heart with Eddy truly wanting Edd to have more confidence in himself; it's one of the better characteristics of Eddy, with him not only caring about his friend's confidence issues but seeing a lot of potential in Edd to do great things, even when Eddy's training just caused more embarrassment. I'd like to think that Edd did get a confidence boost in this episode, because in the end he knows he has friends he can rely on. Too bad the later seasons got rid of Eddy's good characteristics, and just focuses on his more flawed ones.

The only way I think this episode could be even more awesome is if Rolf and Kevin acted like WWE/TNA/AEW commentators during the tag-team match between the Eds and the Kankers. That would've made this episode God-tier.

Well, this episode took a turn for the bizarre. Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy never really went into science-fiction or supernatural territory too much, but when they did, it was always fun to watch. Interestingly enough, the Rorschach test at the beginning seemed to indicate more Ed was literal-minded while Eddy was obsessed with money (not that we didn't already know that).

On a side note, I still can't get over the fact that Edd was surprisingly OK with Eddy hypnotizing all the kids to basically rob them of their allowances. He seemed very content with it and decided to just stand back, observe, and take notes.

I'll be honest, I actually find Edd's character in the early seasons (obviously 1 and 2) a lot more endearing than he was in later seasons, because he had a bit of a "mad scientist" edge on him at times, and he actually enjoyed being involved with the Eds instead of constantly complaining about them doing scams.

If this scenario had happened in a later season (possibly 4 or 5), Eddy would've blackmailed Edd with the secret of what's under his hat to make him not object to this amoral act (again), and most of the episode would be about Edd trying to stop him. This is one of the reasons I'm glad this happened pre-flanderization.

Waldo/Wally's got nothing on the Cul-De-Sac kids when it comes to hiding. I just love that this episode, heck, the entire show took full advantage of the fact that it's a cartoon, unlike a lot of other cartoons at the time and even today. Even though the Eds cheated to find all the kids, I don't really blame them seeing that the kids seemed to be cheating too when they didn't even let the Eds look for them.

Also, the Kanker Sisters' appearance in this episode was just random; why were they in a compost canister again?
