An Ed is Born

"An Ed is Born" is a Season 4 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Eddy makes a home movie of himself to show to his brother that he is not a "Pipsqueak" anymore.

Plot
The episode begins with Rolf sniffing along the sidewalk. After he goes right over Jonny, he tells him to silence himself. After a while he reahces Ed's bedroom where Ed along with a nagging Edd is teaching Rolf's chickens to swim. After Rolf takes his chickens back, Ed tells them same time tomorrow. Just as Rolf is about to yell at them, he is knocked out by huge package that was pushed down the stairs by Eddy. Eddy comes down and, in a good mood, tells them that it is a gift from his brother. Eddy tears the wooden box open only to find it full of a pacifier, a diaper, and a rattle which Edd laughs at. Ed laughed at the diaper and pacifier, but is fascinated by the rattle. After suggesting to make a movie by Ed, Eddy decides to make one showing how much he has grown. They start in front of Eddy's garage.

Eddy's swings on a vine with a big orange mustach into a chair. Eddy tells his brother that he is rich, but it goes downhill when Double D accidently catches Ed gluing money signs on garbage bags. Eddy's fake mustach falls off and that means cut, cut, cut.

Next scene, Eddy and Ed are walking down the sidewalk where Eddy claims he is mayor now. When he also claims that Kevin has now become the neighborhood dork and Kevin overhears this, he decides to give Eddy a super wedgie by tying his underwear to the back of his bike and speeding off down the street! Eddy then tells his brother that Kevin collects underwear and gives it to the poor.

When Edd starts recording again, The Eds are in the playground. Eddy says he owns it, so when Sarah and Jimmy come, Eddy says they have to pay to go on the swings. Sarah then punches the camera out of Edd's hands. As Edd gets the camera back, Sarah screams at Ed to get Eddy away. Ed obeys her, drags Eddy away, and ties him around one of the beams of the swingset. Eddy claims that Ed is showing Sarah what Ed will do to her if she doesn't go away. Ed is playing with the camera while Edd and Eddy are thinking of ideas. Ed swallows the camera and we get a show of his stomach. Edd fishes the camera out of Ed while nagging on what it could do to his digestive track. The Eds then notice a humming Nazz doing her nails. Eddy claims that she is his girlfriend and comes in to "put the moves" on her, but he ends up getting karate kicked into a fire hydrant! Ed gathers Eddy while Jonny steals the camera. Eddy attacks Jonny and half-burries him. With the camera back, Edd gets a shot of Ed (dressed as Rolf) telling Eddy how he's his jet setter. Eddy takes the rattle from Ed and throws it up. It then hits the real Rolf, who chases the Eds with a rake.

They go to The Junkyard next, where Eddy shows Big Bro two things: A car and, what Eddy claims to be a hard-boiled egg boiler (It looks like it's just a water heater). But there's something other than eggs inside: Kankers! The Kankers attack Eddy for some smooching, but he is then rescued by Ed and Edd.

Back in Eddy's room, where Rolf's chickens are wearing cardboard replicas of the Kids. Eddy is giving all the kids autographs, but when the real Rolf walks in, he gets an autograph on his face. Rolf then screams at Eddy how he vandalized his face and he stole his chickens again. Rolf throwns Eddy against the wall and chases him and Ed. Edd gets knocked down by a chicken and thats where the video ends. The camera dies out due to a low battery. The episode ends with Eddy screaming.
