Urban Ed

"Urban Ed" is a season 2 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which the Eds decide to bring the city to the Cul-de-Sac by building the cardboard city known as Edtropolis.

Plot
This episode starts with Jonny and Plank playing chess. Eddy ran up to him and put a garbage lid on the ground, and gave Jonny banana, telling him to run to the tree. Then to hit the bullseye with the banana. Then Eddy gave Jonny peas and a straw, telling him to shoot the balloons Ed was using. Next Eddy gave Jonny marshmallows, telling him to throw them into the sousaphone Edd was carrying, touch home plate, and finally put a quarter in his jar. Jonny saw right through their trick and promptly left the scene. After Edd suggest that they scam Rolf, Eddy realized that there was no point, as Rolf and the rest of the kids where busy doing boring activities. Edd explained that their suburban Cul-de-Sac was just too distant from the hustle and bustle of the big city to be exciting. The Eds then imagined how awesome life in the city would be and decided to bring the city to the Cul-de-Sac.

The Eds were making a real racket while building the city, everyone could hear it. The kids hear the sound originate from The Lane so they went to investigate. Upon arriving at the Lane they discovered the cardboard metropolis of Edtropolis; Population: More cardboard cutouts than you can count. After several admiring comments from the Kids, Jonny hoped out from a nearby tree and warned them about the dangers of city life. The kids ignored Jonny and walked into the city. Plank had also mysteriously disappeared into the city as well.

Rolf was being really polite, he was saying hello to every cardboard cutout, male and female. On a green light the kids are making a traffic jam just standing in the middle of the street. Eddy cut them off. Then, truck driver Ed, flashes right by the kids. He has got to be breaking the speed limit. Kevin tries to catch Ed but he bumps into Edd causing his airbag to go off. Kevin was complaining that Edd cut him off. Eddy is back in another traffic jam. Edd makes the hand signal that he is about to make a turn when the light turns green. Kevin's had enough. He stuffed Edd between to buildings. Ed flashes by again and this time almost runs them over. He is probably about to get a ticket.

Meanwhile, Jonny is still searching for Plank, who is having the time of his life. Eddy, pretending to be a force to be reckoned with, asks if he is looking for something. Jonny tells him that Plank ran off and asks if he's seen him. Eddy doesn't really remember him. So Jonny askes again with great force. Eddy just said he didn't see him. He continued to search for Plank.

Jimmy is in the middle of the city. Jonny was right. Cities can be quite frightening. Jimmy went to the shoe store. Kevin is just reading 'Bikini Babes'. Edd volunteers to clean his shoe. He asks for a quarter, but Kevin gave him a bottle cap. Nazz just came back from a shopping spree when Ed and Eddy were on top of a building pretending to be pigeons. Eddy was dropping yogurt so Nazz would think it was a bird dropping. Edd pushes her out of the way, then Ed drops and anvil and makes a "quack" noise. Eddy replies 'This ain't a cartoon!' Jonny comes to the scene and finds Plank driving a truck and he almost ran him over. When Sarah and Nazz were waiting in line, Jimmy came to them with a snake tattoo on his forehead. Jonny invades Eddy of his money because his city stole Plank. Jonny climbs to the top of a building. Jonny threatens Eddy that he will throw away his money. Eddy shows Jonny that Plank is okay. Jonny throws Eddy's money anyway, because Plank told him to. Eddy then destroys the building he was standing on. After the kids stole Eddy's money, Ed destroyed the rest of the city.
