Truth or Ed

"Truth or Ed" is a season 5 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Ed and Eddy take over Edd's duties of the school newspaper.

Plot
Eddy is still always the last one to be picked for team games. The fact that Rolf even chooses the sedentary Plank over him to be on his side for basketball does little to boost Eddy's flagging ego (Ed then ends up puncturing the ball with his Teeth!). In contrast to his pal however, Double D is having a very good day, in fact he's just been made the editor of the Peach Creek Jr. High Tattler, the school's rather dull little newspaper whose sales figures are slumping almost as much as Eddy's ego. For excited Double D though, he might just as well be heading up the Wall Street Journal!

On learning that Edd needs help selling the paper Eddy is unmoved, it sounds like too much hard work. On learning that Edd needs help selling the paper for *ker-ching* cash however, he's right there giving it all he's got and it isn't long before his agile mind has figured out a way to both increase sales and make the paper a lot more interesting. Once Edd is out of the way (To interview the knitting club about make the world's largest doily), Eddy's plan is put in motion and newsboy Ed soon has his hands full as eager customers clamor to read the latest scoops and exposes as ace reporter Bobby Blabby dishes the dirt on everyone in the Peach Creek Extreme Magazine. Now of course the trouble with scandal and gossip and embarrassing revelations is that they're all fine and dandy when they're happening to someone else, but when its you who's suddenly the center of attention, being pointed and whispered at, well then suddenly it ain't so funny. Sarah's in tears and at Nazz's throat and Rolf and Kevin are turning ugly. Bobby Blabby starts off as something of a hero as the Kids become hooked on his ridiculous fabrications and as the quarters roll in Eddy's riding high on his alter-ego's wave of popularity. But of course it can't last long, the kids begin to feel hurt & ridiculed and then they start to ask just who this Bobby Blabby really is. Innocent Edd is caught in the middle of the hue & cry but fortunately for him Eddy's big mouth saves the day before the kids can exact retribution on the wrong guy and as Edd happily takes up his role of roving reporter once again it's Eddy who's left looking a bit of a knit!

Trivia/Goofs
