Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed

"Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed" is the 22nd episode of Season 2 and the 48th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds switch lifestyles.

Plot
The Eds are puzzled by Jonny's behavior, although the reasoning behind it soon becomes apparent - he's playing "spin the bottle" and carrying out Kevin's orders to buzz off. The Eds are dying to join in but as always the moment they arrive everyone else goes west. However Ed persists in spinning not only the bottle but himself as well and he dares Eddy to be Double D, Ed then becomes Eddy and Double D becomes Ed and if you think you're confused just have a moment's sympathy for poor Rolf and Co.

At first the Eds quite enjoy their new roles although they also waste no time in poking fun at each other's traits too, hence Eddy complaining he is weak and using all sorts of elaborate and wrongly pronounced words in an effort to be like Double D; whilst Ed is getting down to some serious loafing whilst doling out orders for the others and Double D is running around with a 'burrhead' comb on his head and saying 'gravy' every few minutes. It's not too long before they begin to get on each other's nerves, thinking their impersonators have gone too far and then fate takes a hand by sending Sarah and Rolf into the fray each after Ed(d) and Kevin who's hot on Eddy's trail. The only one who escapes unscathed if unclothed is Ed.
