Scrambled Ed

"Scrambled Ed" is a Season 2 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Edd becomes severely exhausted due to working on a project for over 14 hours. Eddy and many other people all request Edd's help for something, but they only get answers that barely help them with their problems.

Plot
The episode begins with Edd in his room, building a miniature replica of the Golden Gate Bridge entirely out of toothpicks. He completes it by placing a toothpick with a white flag that says it was made by him. He then sees that he made it in only long 14 hours and 7 minutes. A severely exhausted Edd decides to take a nap, but Ed and Eddy rudely barge in to tell Edd about their latest scam. "Ed's Sea Ranch" but Edd is far too tired to listen. Eddy tries to get his attention by taping his eyes open, but fails to get him awake. He then instructs Ed to take Edd to the creek, where they plan to set up their scam.

At the creek, Eddy again struggles to keep Edd awake. When asking what they should do next, Edd answers they need pens to house the exhibits. Ed gets what he means and opens his jacket in a refridgator-style and take a bottle of mustard. He then squeezes it to make a pen come out. He gives it to Edd claiming here is his mustard. Eddy says he asked for a pen, but Ed says he asked for mustard and asks Eddy if he has corn in his ears. They then see that Edd is drawing up the plans for their scam. He then gives Eddy a list of materials they will need for the sign. Ed and Eddy leave for the materials and return with the materials.

Eventually they build a giant sign with the materials. Eddy then awakens Edd to ask where they can find sea creatures to exhibit, but replies with some nonsense about sponges, which gives Eddy the idea to exhibit sea sponges. After asking where they can find sea sponges, Ed tells him he has a collection at his house and takes Eddy with him to his house. But as they leave, their poorly constructed sign collapses and dams the creek.

At Ed's house, Ed and Eddy make it to Ed's room, but they realize Edd is missing. Ed then leaves and returns with Edd in his hands. Ed then takes Eddy to his bathroom while keeping him quiet due to his claim that the walls have ears. After reaching his bathroom, Ed shows Eddy his extensive collection of sponges. In the meantime, Edd tries to find to find a bed to sleep in. He finds Ed's bed too filthy and makes his way to Sarah's Bed, where Jimmy and Sarah are pretending to be Doctors. After noting how great the sponges will be for the scam, Eddy tries to tell Edd about this only to find him missing.

Back upstairs, Dr. Sarah find Edd on her bed and tells him to get out, but Edd is too sleepy to respond or leave. Jimmy notes the exhaustion might come from a sickness and when Sarah sees his condition through his face, she realizes that it is worse than she thought. They take Edd out to the backyard for an operation. After examining his mouth, Sarah tells Nurse Jimmy he has a broken brain and needs surgery. They then take the necessary tools for surgery, but Ed and Eddy take him back since they were using Edd in the first place.

Kevin soon grabs Edd from Ed's hand while Ed and Eddy are not looking. Kevin then asks Edd how can he fix his bike chain, but Edd dazes off and talks about some random nonsense about toothpaste, which Kevin believes will fix his bike. Rolf then snatches him away and asks him to fix his vegetable patch, which is flooding and with angry lobsters crawling everywhere, Rolf asks for a remedy but Edd replies by talking about hot wax, which Rolf believes will drive the lobsters away. Jonny passes by and asks Edd for a remedy for Plank's growth spurt as Plank is embarrassed by it, but Edd laughs away for no apparent reason. Jonny believes that Edd is laughing with Plank not at him.

Edd then crawls his way into an alley way when Ed and Eddy find him. Kevin, Sarah and Jimmy find Edd too and argue about who gets Edd (with Rolf briefly appearing to inform the group that the hot wax did not work and the lobsters are angrier than ever before running back home to remove them), meanwhile Jonny and Plank notice water coming out of a knothole in the fence, due to the junk from Eddy's sign blocking the river, but Jonny stops it leaking thanks to Plank newly-grown branch, but soon more water begins pouring out and soon, the entire Cul-de-Sac becomes flooded.

The Kids (except Nazz) are soon forced to float on rafts, hungry. Rolf explains to Jonny if they don't find dry land soon the former will have to feast on Jonny's noggin. Jonny checks the trawl attached to the raft to see if they caught any fish, but find only Edd and Eddy. Rolf tells Jonny to go get the stake. Meanwhile, Ed is swimming in the water, imitating a great fish and claiming he is Neptune, the king of the sea. Eddy looks on, believing he can turn Ed into the main attraction of his Sea Ranch. Edd, still tired, though less exhausted, states "Persistent, aren't we?". Ed continues to splash around the water claiming he is king of the sea. After diving into the water a few times, Rolf asks Jonny if he got the stake as the episode ends.

Trivia/Goofs

 * Ed breaks the fourth wall by saying, "Do not adjust your set," when Eddy asks him to find Edd.
 * The entire Cul-de-Sac flooding can be compared to the story of Noah's Ark. In the book of Genesis, God sends a flood to destroy all of the evil on the Earth. God warned Noah, however, so Noah built a huge boat filled with 2 of each animal. Rolf's Raft is a reference to the story.
 * Rolf's Raft was also the sign for Eds' Sea Ranch.
 * Eds' Sea Ranch is a rip-off parody of Sea World, a popular and well-known aquarium zoo/mammal park chain in the United States that is only in three locations.
 * Edd spent 14 hours and 7 minutes on making his toothpick replica of the Golden Gate Bridge.
 * Nazz only makes a cameo appearance at the end of the episode, she spent the whole episode being in bed and not knowing the Cul-de-Sac is flooded.
 * Apparently Rolf will resort to eating other people's heads if he doesn't have food for too long.
 * This is the very first appearance of Ed's sponge collection. It would appear again in "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show".
 * What the kids needed Edd for:
 * Kevin: Fixing his bike chain.
 * Ed & Eddy: The scam, Ed's Sea Ranch.
 * Jonny & Plank: What to do about the branch growing off Plank's body.
 * Rolf: How to get rid of lobsters and floods in his vegetable patch.
 * Sarah & Jimmy: Just to play "Doctor" with him since they believed he needed a brain surgery due to his exhaustion
 * When Eddy looks for Edd, he moves through Ed's garage, but the last time we saw the inside of Ed's garage ("One + One = Ed"), it was full of junk. It is possible that Ed's parents had cleaned out the garage at some point between this episode and "One + One = Ed".
 * 25th time The Kanker Sisters never appeared.
 * Running Gags: 
 * 1) People asking Edd to help them with something and Edd(due to him being tired) answering them with a ridiculous answer that will somewhat obviously not work in helping with their problem.
 * 2) Edd saying "Sleepy, Sleepy, Sleepy!" throughout the episode.
 * Rolf and Jonny were shown with four toes instead of three while they were on the raft.
 * Rolf's raft appeared to have grown a lot when Jonny pulled Eddy and Edd out of the water.
 * Rolf referred to himself in the first person in this episode. When his garden was invaded by lobsters, he says, "Am I crazy?". Usually Rolf refers to himself in the third person.
