Pop Goes the Ed

"Pop Goes the Ed" is the 3rd episode of Season 1 and of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds crash a sprinkler party at Nazz's house.

Plot
The Eds are attempting to bring down a beehive, to get money of course, but end up to be chased by the bees, during which Ed and Edd get stung all over their bodies. The next issue for the Eds would be the hot weather. After so many unsuccessful attempts to cool off by finding some shade, they give up and nearly pass out under the hot sun. Kevin rides by on his bike and sees them "dying" on the sandbox in the heat, only to ditch them and inform them about Nazz's sprinkler party, which he claims the Eds are not invited. This doesn't stop the Eds from going, as Eddy finds this as a perfect way to socialize and cool off there. He insists they all wear three ultra small, yet tight swimsuits from his brother. When they show up at the party, Kevin starts a fight with Eddy, but Nazz walks by and takes their minds off it. When Eddy suggests to the other Eds that they mingle with a couple of the kids, Ed and Edd share some rather disturbing stories about what programs they saw one time, frightening Jimmy the most. When it's time to dance, everybody gets their groove on, but when the Eds hit the dance floor, the kids all sit down to eat. The Eds try to impress them by performing a trick, but no one pays attention. And it's a good thing too because their bathing suits pop and fly off everywhere. Everyone else soon goes back to dancing, without noticing that the Eds are nude from the waist down. The Eds run quickly into the pool, where they are forced to remain for the rest of the day, which means they miss out on eating cake, sitting around a fire, and sleeping over. When everyone is inside sleeping, the cold and water-absorbed Eds sneak out, only to hit another beehive and get stung by bees on the way back home.
