Boys Will Be Eds

"Boys Will Be Eds" is a season 3 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which rivalry brews over who's the boy that Nazz is most blown away by. Intriguing!

Plot
Eddy seems to have struck gold at last for his sandwich business is actually a success, or at least it is until greedy goat Victor gets wind of the goodies and Rolf is required to stop him from ingesting both Jimmy and his hard won snack. Its actually kind of funny ... well okay its very funny and the Eds, Kevin and Jonny are soon all in tears of laughter until Nazz angrily steps in and tells them to stop acting like idiots.

Unfortunately for Nazz though, this 'boys can be so stupid' type chastening doesn't have the effect she'd hoped for as now they are all far too busy goggling at her like love-starved leeches to take much notice of anything she's saying. There's obviously something about an angry woman because they all agree she looks awesome today. So begins a desperate scramble for domination and its every Ed (or non-Ed) for himself as the boys vie to gain Nazz's favor with a weird mix of compliments, grovels and offbeat gifts. Nazz doesn't know what to make of it and neither do Sarah and Jimmy. Would Nazz like a new toilet? Would Nazz like Kevin's cap? How about an interactive portrait courtesy of Ed? Awww Nazz, she's cool, she's awesome, she's rad ... and she's losing her temper with them all! But as Jimmy says, music has soothed many the savage beast so perhaps it'll work for the Eds too which is why they're trying a late night serenade beneath her window in order to win her heart. Mind you, for their own sakes perhaps they should have remained at home as their evening ends as always on a real bum note.
