Stop, Look and Ed

"Stop, Look and Ed" is a season 2 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Eddy decides the kids of the Cul-de-Sac should break all the rules.

Plot
Edd tries to build a jawbreaker satellite for Eddy to track down people's jawbreakers. This then fails when Ed sets off the propeller and makes the satellite crash into a tree. The Eds try to retrieve it but they nearly step on a private lawn marked with a "keep off" sign. Edd warns them that rules are the most important part of life, but Ed lifts up the grass and pops up in the middle acting like a woodpecker "except with dirt". Eddy then decides to find more rules to break more rules; Sarah, Jimmy, Nazz, Kevin, Jonny 2x4 and Plank are trying to reach their basketball out of a wet cement area. It then sinks into the cement so Ed and Eddy go in to fetch it. After they try, Eddy then encourages the rest of the cul-de-sac kids to break rules, such as eating cake with their hands, talking with their mouth full, swimming after dinner and going to bed without brushing their teeth. Edd then thinks he has gone far enough and that rules are a joy but Kevin says that rules are for losers. Rolf then passes by with Wilfred and a load of hay so Eddy encourages him to break the rules too. Sooner or later, he manages to convince everyone to break the rules and destroy order in the cul-de-sac. They both escape and find the cul-de-sac has turned upside-down. Rolf's animals start eating all the plants, Rolf himself relaxes in his front yard, Kevin destroys his plates with catapults, Nazz drinks a full bottle of soda, Jonny 2x4 goes naked and Sarah and Jimmy eat a whole mountain of ice cream, becoming incredibly fat. The moment of joy is ruined when Edd, with pantyhose on his head as he lost his hat, saying he's phoned everyone's parents and that they're on their way home right away. They all start to panic to get back to their normal life. Kevin says to Edd that he broke the number 1 rule - don't squeal. Kevin, Rolf and Jonny then decide to get their own back on them, Eddy defends them by saying his pantyhose are on too tight and his brain is squished. It doesn't help and they all end up in a giant birdcage up in a tree. They all try to grab the attention of passers-by by holding up signs and shouting "Help!", "Please Assist!" and the funniest of all, "Ketchup!". Edd then remarks to them that signs are to be read.
