The Day the Ed Stood Still

"The Day the Ed Stood Still" is a season 3 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Ed pretends he is a monster and causes terror throughout the Cul-de-Sac.

Plot
The Eds money-hungry selection of traditional carnival games don't look exactly up to much, especially when Ed starts throwing his weight about. But you can't blame poor lad, he so much wants to be a monster that he just can't control himself ... hmmm now there's a money spinning idea for Eddy to be getting on with. Before you can say "movie good for Ed" the big lad has been taken off to Edd's garage and transformed by the addition of a homemade monster suit. However its soon apparent that everybody has underestimated the sheer force of Ed's imagination, he's not just pretending to be a monster, he really believes he is one and the whole cul-de-sac is soon fleeing in terror from his acid-drooling reign of terror. With shades of the Alien movies, Ed steadily picks off the hopless kids and cements them to his basement wall with a mess of chewed up Chunky Puffs - its nasty and somebody has to stop him! So step forward two heroes in the shape of Edd and Eddy out to save the world, although when the kids find out just who's in the monster suit they soon find themselves right back as zeros again.

Quotes

 * Edd: [sarcastically] "Bravo! Well done Eddy, you've convinced me. Your skill and expertise in mundane, misleading and moth-ridden carnival games make me want to throw caution to the wind and give you all my money." Eddy: "You're making fun of me aren't-cha?"


 * Edd: [seeing the mess of his garage] "Father's garage!!!"


 * Rolf: [leaping onto Kevin] "What is this sound that makes Rolf soil his trousers?"


 * Nazz: [coated in semi-chewed Chunky Puffs] "I'm off cereal forever."


 * Edd: "Eddy! Hiding underneath your bed isn't going to save us from harm's way once the children eventually flake off of Ed's wall!"


 * Nazz: "Jimmy!" Kevin: "Hey,Fluffy!" Rolf: "Fluffy? Is it not Jimmy? Who's Fluffy?


 * Edd:"Someone needs to go and give him a time out. I'll go." Eddy:"Killjoy."


 * Eddy:[waiting for Edd to come back with a mirror] "What's he doing? Making a mirror?"


 * Nazz:(Tripping over plank) "Guy's I just found Plank without a johney."
