Hot Buttered Ed

"Hot Buttered Ed" is the 23rd episode of Season 2 and the 49th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds go to the beach but find their spot in the beach is a little too hot.

Plot
The Eds are camping out in Ed's backyard for the night, but annoy the neighbors by fighting over food, spilling potato chips in each other's sleeping bags, performing shadow puppetry, and making loud and obnoxious noises.

The Eds' nighttime fun goes on for most of the night, and they end up oversleeping late into next morning. As a result, they are beaten to their covered shady spot at the Swimming Hole by Kevin. The Eds have to deal with flies, beach trash, and most of all for Edd, the lack of sunscreen. Eddy is willing to do anything to get their favorite spot back, so the Eds advance though the area, attempting to take Sarah's place, which instead results in further humiliation. Afterwards, they realize that their next and best option would be to take Jonny's spot atop a large stack of boulders to keep an eye on Kevin's spot. While advancing up the boulder, Eddy goes through several ideas on how to remove Jonny, but desperate Edd, who has been suffering through the lack of proper protection from the sun, comes in with his own idea and successfully makes Jonny leave the spot. The day passes as the Eds wait for Kevin, and finally when evening arrives, the kids pack up to go back to their homes. The Eds find themselves to be severely sunburnt, though their spot is free. Ed's overactive imagination only exacerbates their situation, and they now have to suffer through Ed's poking and prodding at their sunburnt bodies.

Trivia/Goofs

 * Ed had a comic book titled: "Astro Chicken" with him at the sleepover.
 * They could have just camped out at the swimming hole instead of trying to get to it first in the morning. It wouldn't make a difference if they slept outside. And why couldn't they just go another day?
 * While in the tent, look closely, you can see a bag behind Eddy with the word "KRUD" written on it.
 * After Jonny lands in the water, his cap disappears and his stomach is red. But surely from the height Jonny jumped from the impact would have blown his cap off. As for the red stomach whenever someone makes a dive into water below from a certain height the impact will leave a mark.
