Don't Rain on My Ed

"Don't Rain on My Ed" is a season 3 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which the Jawbreakers are free but time's running out for the candy-crazed Eds.

Plot
Edd's ever-resourceful brain appears to have come up trumps with the Eds latest venture - a 'peep into the future' courtesy of a little behind the scenes help from automaton Ed plus a patient explanation from Double D himself. Jonny and Plank are their first - and only - customers and they're actually quite enjoying it although their futuristic trip is cut off in its prime as Eddy has discovered the local candy store is holding a Customer Appreciation Day and the Jawbreakers aren't just succulent and spherical, they're FREE!

This revelation is somewhat dampened by the discovery that the store in question closes in just ten minutes so they'll have to be quick about it! So begins the Eds' great run as they pull out all the stops to make it to the candy store before the shutters come down. Eddy's out in front but Edd's already made some calculations and he's really not so sure they're going to make it on time. But necessity is the mother of invention and so while Eddy panics into finding a shortcut through Jimmy's garden, Edd is busy constructing a vehicle that will get them there with time to spare. As always though fate conspires to rain on the Eds' parade, quite literally in fact because the Eds are soon swept away by a freak storm - though not before falling foul of the Kankers - and as if that wasn't enough a chicken drive suddenly passes through town and Eddy faces the ultimate test - help henpecked Edd or get a free Jawbreaker! The candy store closed when Eddy tries to get in. Maybe if he'd taken a peep into the Eds' own future he'd have seen how this was going to work out. Not good! Not good!

Eddy! BLOCKADE!"

Trivia

 * The Ed's cut though the lane to get to the construction site, yet the scene after that Eddy takes a shortcut through Jimmy's yard when he ran out of the construction site. So he would have gone in a complete circle.
 * After Jimmy's "garden in the sky" fell, Jimmy was still on top of the ladder. When Kevin dropped the piano on Eddy, in the next few shots Jimmy is no longer on the ladder, but he was not shown coming down.
 * The piano Kevin dropped on Eddy was already severely damaged before it smashed him.
 * When Eddy says "No time, Candy Store!", his mouth doesn't move.
 * When Eddy gets caught in the steamroller cab, he pulls on the lever by accident. In the next scene, it shows a bit of the inside of the cab before Ed and Eddy are run over. If you look closely, you can see that the ball point on the lever is broken. But from what we saw last scene, the ball was never damaged.
 * When Ed checks his shoe for the time and we see a close up of the bottom of his shoe, the color of his shoe is red, like Eddy's, instead of black like it should be.
 * We learn that The Candy Store closes at 6pm.
 * The Eds use the same diving helmet they found in the episode "Nagged to Ed" as a part of the Futuristic Scam.
 * Fourth Wall Break: When the Kankers spot the Eds, Eddy yells "KANKERS!" while Ed yells, "EXTREME CLOSEUP!", while the two are both, literally, in a closeup.
 * Running gags:
 * The Eds trying to get to the candy store, but having to face various hindrances along the way.
 * Double-D being unable to keep up with Ed and Eddy and arguing with Eddy for leaving him and Ed behind.


 * Kevin dropping a piano on Eddy from the roof of Jimmy's house is an homage to the classic cliche cartoon antics.
 * If you look at the shops across the street from the candy store when you're able to see it, one is a café called "Wootie's Café." This is a reference to James Wooton, who is a storyboard artist on the show (his nickname, "Wootie," is listed on his credit).
 * Ed: "EXTREME CLOSEUP!" This was a saying made famous by The Skit Wayne's World on SNL and in the Wayne's World movies where they would show an big closeup of their faces and yell out "Extreme closeup!"
 * When Edd presses "the food button", It's top is pink. Yet when he presses the "wash button", The "food button" is just wood, not pink.
 * All the characters appeared in this episode spoke, except for May, since she only screamed when pinning down Edd with her bucktooth.
 * After Jonny gets a futuristic cleanup treatment, he grew a full head of hair. But after that and on to the T.V. shoes, he doesn't have the full head of hair anymore throughout the rest of the episode.
