The Good Ol' Ed

' "The Good Ol' Ed"' is the 14th episode of Season 4 and the 91st episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy''. In this episode, the Eds' home-made time capsule cooks up some memorable moments from the past.

Plot
Eddy is busy practicing for when he's older and by the look of things he'll need all the practicing he can put in if he's ever going to learn how to shave properly. Unfortunately though, it looks like he's not going to be getting much time to improve his skills today for who has just rumbled into his bedroom but none other than big Ed himself. Ed's on the hunt for articles from the Eds' collective past and he's not going to be put off by the fact that what he's finding here are all Eddy's personal possessions, before he knows what's what it's all Eddy can do to follow in Ed's wake and see what this is all about.

Well what it's all about in fact is that Double D has decided to make a time capsule for the three of them, his idea being that they each put in a few precious objects and then bury them. Then, many years down the line when they're all grown up they dig up their treasures and wallowing in childhood nostalgia. Despite his earlier sourness, Eddy's soon enjoying himself and in fact there's no need to wait till they're all grown up for the Eds are reminiscing the past right now and though some of it looks very familiar there are certain things we've never seen them up to before. From hypnotizing wheels to unstoppable hiccups, from a journey to the past to Canadian Squirt Guns and from Fad Freaky to a giant pancake what Ed remembers, the boys bring their past back to life with delight. Eventually though all good things have to come to an end and besides, Eddy's convinced that Ed made up that one about the pancake. In fact he's had enough of flashbacks and time capsules altogether but with everything he touches and everything he does he only jogs his pals' memories some more. It's intolerable! Eddy's done with raking up the past and all he wants right now is to have it buried along with that time capsule and by the look in his eyes, his friends too if they don't shut up!

Trivia/Goofs

 * Fourth Wall Breaks: Ed breaks the fourth wall by saying "As though it were only 2nd season", since the Canadian Squirt Gun was in the season two episode "Know it All Ed". Also, Eddy gives his hatred to clip shows by breaking the 4th wall and saying "I hate clip shows!"
 * When Ed knocked Edd and Eddy to the ground, they didn't hit the ground until Ed finished his sentence.
 * If the flashbacks, Ed's Time Travel Service, the unstoppable hiccups, and the giant pancake actually exist, it is implied largely by each one that the respective forgetful Eds have forgotten because of being banged up even more then they are usually.
 * None of the flashbacks aside from the last one do not appear in other episodes.
 * This episode has elements of a clip show, where the Eds have many items from past episodes: the Canadian squirt gun from "Know it All Ed", the hypnotizing wheel from "Look Into My Eds", Fad Freaky from "It's Way Ed", the fish from "Dueling Eds", and the ice pack from "Flea-Bitten Ed".
 * However, unlike most clip shows, this particular episode does not play scenes from past episodes.
 * Ed seems to be immune to the grease that stained Double D, as he skated across the griddle and came out with his clothes unstained, while Double D had so much grease on him, he squeezed some out of his hat.
 * The Kids probably thought Eddy dropped the batter since they were not watching who dumped the pancake batter on them.
 * When Ed is in Eddy's flashback trying to scare Edd's hiccups away, he says that he will "malice Edd with a shoehorn". However, malice is a noun, meaning he would have said "I will cause malice," or something to that level. However, let's not forget that this is Ed speaking here.
 * When Double D reminded Eddy of the fish he used to duel Rolf, you can tell it was a different color than the other episode.
 * The Eds and Nazz are the only people to appear outside of flashbacks in this episode while the kids only appear inside the flashbacks.
 * "Dueling Eds" is the only episode from the third season that was recalled. The others were from the first and second seasons.
 * Edd recalls when Eddy used his fish to duel with Rolf in the third season episode "Dueling Eds". It seems that Eddy has learned how to use it properly by this time, as he hit Ed square on the head and chased his friends around with it towards the end of the episode, while in Dueling Eds he seemed to have no clue on how to use it.
 * Eddy recalls the Rocket Car from the second season episode "Ready, Set, Ed".
 * The remote control from the time machine also controlled the El Mongo Stink Bomb from "Fool on the Ed".
 * Ed thought that the icebag that Edd put on him was from "Rent-a-Ed", while in reality, it was from "Flea-Bitten Ed".
 * Even though Edd said the T-Rex didn't live in the Triassic, none of the species seen had evolved yet.
 * A lot of the scam "Ed's Time Travel Service" parodies the Universal Studios' animatronic ride Jurassic Park, especially the fake dinosaurs.
 * When Jonny is riding the Triceratops, he exclaims "Twenty-Three Skidoo!", a cry yelled by early twentieth-century policemen when gusts of wind near the Flatiron Buildingon 23rd Street in New York (hence the name), blew up women's skirts, revealing their legs (which were seldom seen at the time).
 * Although, the Hypnotizing wheel appears, the Psychology Manual doesn't appear at all. Most likely Double D kept the Psychology Manual.
 * This is the second episode in which a dinosaur-related scam has been seen. The first was in "An Ed Too Many".
 * The Kankers were absent in this episode. They were also unseen in all of the flashbacks.
 * Kevin, Sarah and Rolf did not speak in this episode, but appeared in a flashback.
 * Eddy mentions the fake jewelery in High Heeled Eds and Edd mentions them borrowing eggs from Rolf in Who, What, Where, Ed.
 * The time machine is similar to the TARDIS from the Doctor Who series.
