Laugh Ed Laugh

Laugh Ed Laugh is a season 1 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. This episode is where Eddy goes insane over a lack of kids to scam.

Plot
Eddy's scheme for the day is to sell "ice cream - big scoop" from a cardboard box thinly disguised as a sales van. The fact that this ice cream is actually made of pink-painted tennis balls, paper & glue doesn't seem to bother him, what does bother him is there's not a single customer to be seen. Where are the other kids? Well each and every one is in bed with chicken pox and that means the Eds - the only healthy kids in the Cul-de-Sac, are just going to have to amuse themselves today, which wouldn't be so bad if only Eddy wasn't so difficult to please and constantly griping about the others boring him with their ideas of fun. Eventually the lack of potential earnings causes Eddy's brain to have a meltdown and he cracks under the strain, running amok mistaking fire hydrants for Jawbreakers and wooden fences for buttered toast, not to mention swindling the local squirrel population out of its nut supply! The only safe solution is to capture him but of course that won't be easy and Double D is going to get very bruised along the way but with the right kind of bait the trap can surely be sprung. After countless attempts they finally succeed, but capture themselves in the process.

Trivia

 * Chickenpox would take days to heal, and yet the children, except the Eds, are feeling better by the end of the episode.


 * The quarantine signs appear out of nowhere in the beginning scene. The signs show up after Ed hands Eddy one to keep a sick Jimmy away.


 * When Eddy is digging the gang's way out of the trailer, the size of the hole Eddy makes shrinks as soon as it shows a close-up of Ed's head.


 * In the start of the show when Eddy is in the ice cream truck, the red line on his shirt is missing.
