Little Ed Blue

"Little Ed Blue" is the 6th episode of season 4 of Ed, Edd n Eddy, and is the 45th episode of the series. When Ed becomes dangerously angry and violent, Edd and Eddy try to cheer him up, only to annoy him even more and/or get hurt.

Plot
Every kid in the Cul-de-Sac are the customers of Eddy's latest scam, a silent film entitled The Hunt for Edosaurus. It starts out slow, but when Eddy trips on Rolf and sends bags of popcorn flying towards Jimmy, the scam turns into an all-out food fight (giving Eddy more profit). Ed arrives and kicks everyone out in a sour mood, even making the normally dominant Sarah whimper away from him, then leaves to the playground, with Eddy taunting him. Edd and Eddy soon find Ed sitting by himself on a stump, moping. After Eddy taunts Ed, Ed throws him into a tree. Edd comes and hugs Ed, only having to see Ed kick him away and threatening him. Ed shows Edd and Eddy his dark side after Edd offers counsel, so they leave and go to his house to get things that will make him happy. When they come back, they see Kevin playing baseball with Ed's head. Eddy decides to play too, but Ed uses Eddy as a baseball bat and commits a "Home-run" on Kevin, sending him miles away. Eddy then tries to cheer Ed by reading him one of his favorite comics, but Ed slams the comic into Eddy's face, literally turning it into a comic strip. Now it's Edd's turn. He gives Ed a cooked turkey and pretends it's his birthday. Ed force feeds the turkey down Edd's throat. Edd and Eddy can't decide who should go next, so they preform a crude puppet show with a robot and Baron 'O Beef Dip. Eddy gives up right away, and while Edd scolds him, Ed pulls a string on Baron 'O Beef Dip's back, making him belch fire onto the play. Now they're forced into a last resort that Eddy doesn't like one bit. He dresses up as a chicken, circling around Ed in a chicken manner, but Ed gets even more annoyed, takes the rubber glove Eddy is wearing on his head and shoves it down the rest of his body before shoving him into the dirt. Eddy's reached his boiling point now, fed up with Ed's bad mood. After he yells at him and hits him, Ed becomes savagely enraged and yells loud enough to make Edd faint, and rip Eddy's shirt off. Ed goes into a major tantrum and destroys the playground. Everything's thrown in the air, but they barely miss hitting Edd and Eddy. Jonny and Plank are also thrown into the air on a seesaw. Plank, sent flying from the throw, smacks into Ed, making him even angrier and planning to break him in half. Prompted by an idea from Plank, Jonny removes Ed's shoe, causing a tiny pebble to fall out of it. Instantly, Ed's anger vanishes, and he's back to his normal, blissful self. The other Eds are shocked to think that all of this hostility from Ed stemmed from a pebble in his shoe. Eddy is very shocked and even starts laughing as if he's gone insane, while Ed seems unaware of the trouble he's caused that day.

 * Before Ed shoved a turkey down Edd's throat, it is a regular looking chicken. But when he shoves it his throat, it is a different color.

 * This is the 2nd major appearance of Baron 'O Beef Dip.
 * Eddy said "I'm hurt now!", which was in one of his lines in "Cry Ed".
 * Ed's comic Marlene of the Deep is probably a nod to A.K.A's sheet director Marlene Robinson-May.
 * This is the second time Ed stands up to Sarah, and also the first time it works. The first time Ed stood up to Sarah is in "Is There an Ed in the House?".
 * While Ed is roaring at the top of his lungs, Eddy's shirt is ripped off, but in the next shot it is back on. Undamaged whatsoever.

 * Puts a candle in a turkey as if it were a birthday cake and let Ed eat it.
 * Create a puppet show.
 * Eddy dresses up as a chicken to entertain him.
 * It is interesting to note that the kids never asked Eddy for a refund. So if that is true, why didn't Edd and Eddy just make a bee-line for the candy store, instead of putting up with Ed?
 * This is a rare occassion where Ed gets angry and depressed, instead of his normal joyous nature.
