Virt-Ed-Go

"Vert-Ed-Go" is a season 1 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which the Eds build their own clubhouse, but got infiltrated by the Kanker Sisters.

Plot
According to Eddy, if the boys had their own clubhouse it would just be so cool (and also the membership funds would come in handy for when birds steal your last quarter). But where do they build the perfect clubhouse? Strangely Kevin doesn't want it in his backyard, the landfill site is "too unsanitary" (bet you can't guess who said that) and a local mailbox way too small. Things look bleak until they discover the perfect tree to house "Club Ed". Building work is hazardous to say the least and Ed's fear of heights doesn't help matters much although it doesn't excuse him from work either - Eddy and Double D are only to happy to winch him aloft, although Ed being Ed means he doesn't stay up there long, when he keeps falling off and being lifted time and time again (once Eddy fell with him and Double D has to lift the both of them together). Once Club Ed is built the boys need members (and their money) but Eddy's hard sell act is a little too much for the other kids to swallow, Kevin is skeptical about their stock car and yacht races and Plank has an inkling that Eddy's just going to spend their fees on Jawbreakers anyway! In the end none of it matters as the tree house has been invaded by the Kanker Sisters who are not going to give it up without a fight. Cue balancing along the washing line, lots of water-balloons and another painful pasting for Eddy!

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 out, there is no gum.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Every time Ed is lifted to the clubhouse, he is holding dirt, yet there are no holes seen.
