Once Bitten, Twice Ed

"Once Bitten, Twice Ed" is the final episode from season 3 of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Eddy reuses the same scam over and over again. It only took the failure of the first scam to ruin all the others.

Plot
As anyone who knows him will quickly tell you, Ed has an overactive imagination, which is pretty easily fooled if you appeal to it in the right way. Eddy of course knows exactly which buttons to push in order to get his big pal eager to do his every bidding which is why Ed is running round his basement trying to please the tetchy great Baron O'Beef Dip. Edd thinks it's deplorable but Eddy's not interested in whiners, he's just thought of a killer scam!

What Eddy's soon to learn though is that people quickly grow weary of the same old thing - or in this case the same old scam, for unperturbed by the frosty reception his initial raccoon shoot receives Eddy decides that all it needs in order to succeed is a little tweaking when Jonny 2x4 stopped Rolf. But it's not long before his various tweaked-up Mutant World, Fridge Land et al are advertising their wares in vain for his would-be pigeons all too quickly realize that all these manifestations are just the same old thing in increasingly flimsy disguise and having been fooled into hiking out to see raccoons and mutants and part with their interstellar quarters once already they're not very keen to make the same mistake again. Eddy's exasperated, and despite moans from Ed and Edd he won't give it up and go home, after all why flush away the perfect plan?
