Look Into My Eds

"Look Into My Eds" is a Season 1 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Eddy misuses the hypnotizing wheel from Edd's new psychology manual and hypnotizes the Cul-de-Sac into obeying his command.

Plot
After another failed scam, the Eds see that the mail is here. It turns out to be Edd's new psychology manual. After Edd gives Ed and Eddy a personality test, Eddy is sure the book is wrong. While not believing anything in it is true, he does see the possibilities of the hypnotizing wheel after its effects were demonstrated on Ed.

The Eds then go all around the neighborhood hypnotizing everyone they can. Kevin is turned into a monkey, Sarah into a frog, Jimmy into a tough guy, and Rolf becomes altogether unpleasant. Success goes straight to Eddy's head - if people will pay to see talent of this size, he'll soon be rolling jawbreakers. Unfortunately for him, his plans are thwarted by the Kanker Sisters, who end up hypnotizing the Eds.

Trivia/Goofs

 * This episode has several animation mistakes:
 * When Eddy is projected onto the big screen, he and the podium are projected in black and white, but in one shot, the podium he uses is projected onto the big screen as regular brown.
 * When Eddy hypnotizes Kevin, Kevin says "Youch!" as he transforms, but his mouth doesn't move.
 * When Eddy took the Psychology Manual from Edd's hands, his mouth did not move when he yelled "Ow!".
 * When they're on the bus, Rolf says "Goodbye", but his mouth doesn't move.
 * When Eddy first attempts to hypnotize Jonny, it doesn't work, even though he was staring right at him. Later on, Eddy gets him with an indirect projection of his hypnotic effects.
 * Ed apparently wants to be a ballerina, as that's what he becomes when Edd hypnotizes him, saying "You will become what you have always dreamed of."
 * In the beginning the Eds are using the first vehicle to be shown in the series, a bus as part of their latest scam.
 * This is the only appearance of Eddy's alter ego Eddy-Dini.
 * During some scenes throughout this episode, such as the bus scene, Ed's eyebrow is thicker than usual.
 * The Psychology Manual is first used in this episode.
 * Rolf flies for the first and only time in this episode.
 * Edd had money for Kevin when he was hypnotized. Normally the Eds are completely broke. Edd must have an allowance, or another money source.
 * Right before Eddy and Edd jumped out of the "runaway bus", Eddy said "Women and children first!". This is how the people on the Titanic evacuated before it sank.
 * Trivially, when Rolf acknowledges the Eds as he's scrubbing his animals, he says "Hello, fellows!" as opposed to the usual "Edboys."
 * The color of Eddy's tongue had changed to a type of orange rather than its usual yellow-green color.
