One Size Fits Ed

"One Size Fits Ed" is a season 4 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Eddy convinces Jimmy that to make it big in showbiz he first has to simply make it big.

Plot
Thanks to one of Edd's optical illusions Eddy is looking like actually making some money for once as his wishing well scam entices star struck Jimmy and sourpuss Sarah to part with their cash. Ed however has other things on his mind, far bigger things in fact as he's decided that he wants to be a sumo wrestler! Never one to pass up the chance of a quick buck, sneaky Eddy - suspecting there's cash to be made from sumo wrestling - decides that there's cash to be made from Ed. But Ed doesn't want to be groomed for stardom ... so who else will do?

Enter Jimmy who seems to have all the necessary requisites, namely he wants to be a star and he'd look good in a diaper. The only thing he's lacking in fact is bulk but Eddy's relentless and so is the tide of peaches and cream that he pumps into the helpless pipsqueak. Its only a matter of time before the calorie-overload takes a hold and as Jimmy suddenly inflates to the size of a shed he and Eddy are celebrating as they're on his way to sumo stardom - fame, bodyguards and lots n lots of cash! Naturally Double D has been trying to put a word in all along and naturally he's been roundly ignored but a reality check finally comes Eddy's way with the realization that yes, Sumo wrestlers are revered, rich and famous but only in their native Japan! Getting to the land of the rising sun proves harder than he'd thought too, seems he's not going to get Jimmy on the road to fame without he and Ed busting a gut - at the very least - along the way ... ouchie!
