Virt-Ed-Go

"Vert-Ed-Go" is the 14th episode of Season 1 and the 14th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds build their own clubhouse, which gets infiltrated by the Kanker Sisters.

Plot
This episode starts out with Ed's piece of gum being used to obtain a quarter from the sewer. After successfully bringing the quarter out of the sewer, a bird comes by and steals it out of Eddy's hand. Eddy's anger is distracted when they then see a plane advertising Joe's Clubhouse. Eddy thinks it would be cool if they had their own clubhouse, so the Eds go out to try and find a spot to build one. Kevin's backyard doesn't work out with him, the landfill is deemed "too unsanitary" by Edd, and the local mailbox is too small. A perfectly sized tree is then discovered by Edd, and they begin building "Club Ed". Ed is afraid of going up, but when he finally does, he keeps falling off. It is eventually finished, and the Eds are off to find members. Eddy's hard sell act doesn't work well. Kevin is skeptical about the "stock car" and "yacht races", and Plank claims he can see through the obvious scam. Nobody joins, but in the end it doesn't matter, because the Kankers invade the clubhouse, and are not giving it up easily. The episode ends with Eddy being thrown into the clubhouse by Ed, then further thrown far out into a thorn bush by May.

Trivia/Goofs

 * When the Eds are building the clubhouse everything around them is a light shade of blue instead of the normal colors.
 * In one scene, there was only one stripe on Eddy's helmet, instead of two.
 * When Eddy runs up to Plank, his helmet disappears.
 * A running gag in the episode seems to be Ed falling out of the clubhouse and Edd and Eddy having to lift him back up with a mechanical winch (and once Eddy fell with Ed, and has to be lifted back to the treehouse by Edd).
 * Ed says "That bird stole my gum!" however, when the bird is seen flying, there is no gum, or maybe he's just trying to support Eddy's problem, or just being his clueless self. Plus, when Ed tries to chase the bird, his mouth did not move when he said "Hey!".
 * The title is a reference to the medical condition vertigo, however in the title, "vert" is incorrectly spelled "virt".
 * In this episode, Ed is afraid of heights, which is known as acrophobia and it would take effect in other episodes.
 * Edd is the only character who does not get hit by a water balloon, mainly because he evaded all the water balloon attacks.
 * When Eddy fell out of the tree, he had the dirt in his hands instead of Ed.
 * The scene in which a seagull snatches Eddy's quarter and The Eds are attacked by a flock of them is an obvious homage to Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. The scene in which a seagull snatches Eddy's quarter is referenced by Eddy in "Robbin' Ed".
 * When the Eds are being thrown water balloons at, there are 13 Water Balloons. However, they threw 20 to 30 water balloons at the Kankers.

 * Sarah, Nazz, and Rolf were the only characters that did not talk in this episode, but laughed when the Kankers took over Club Ed.
 * Ed fell off the same tree about five times in this episode and Eddy fell only once in this episode.
 * When Rolf was laughing at the Eds' makeovered club house with the others, you can notice his teeth are white.
 * This episode is the second and third time Ed says "Who's there?" The first time was in "Quick Shot Ed".
 * When Double D pulls out his telescope to look else where while Eddy was complaining about the bird taking his quarter, his mouth did not move when he said "Ahh...".
 * Eddy's mouth did not move when he asked Ed and Double D "Anybody know how to use these?".
 * Ed seemed to have a very difficult time carrying the lumber used to build the tree house, yet in other episodes, he lifts even heavier objects, such as houses, with ease.
