Over Your Ed

"Over Your Ed" is the 4th episode of season 1 and of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Eddy plans to completely make over Ed to make him a cool guy (Ed the Great). When this happens Ed becomes so popular, that Eddy decides to use this as a chance to make some profits by creating a show starring Ed.

Plot
The episode begins with Edd taking a bath in a bathtub. Edd then takes a loofah before he begins using it to try and scrub off a grass stain on his arm. After a lot of scrubbing, Edd takes a quicky whiff and sees that the stain is still there. Edd yells out in horror, "STUBBORN GRASS STAIN!" We then see Eddy taking a shower while singing along to his radio. While Eddy is having fun, he grabs a bar of soap, but it unintentionally slips out of his hand when he yells out "Wahoo!". The soap then lands in Eddy's mouth and he accidentally swallows it. Soapy foam then forms out of Eddy's mouth, much to his annoyance. We then see Ed's disgusting bathroom. Ed then looks into a mirror and then he questions himself, "Now what did I come in here for?". Since he can't figure out what he was going to do in his bathroom, Ed shrugs his shoulders and leaves to join his friends for their latest fun.

Edd is then shown putting a bowl of sugar and a pitcher onto an incomplete drink stand. One of the boards holding the stand up then falls off which Edd is not happy about. Eddy arrives and Edd asks if he may help. Eddy however tells him to stand back and let a pro do this. Eddy then puts the board back into place and declares, "Time to quench thirst...for CASH!". Eddy puts his hands down on the stand while saying his declaration to Edd, but this causes the stand to fall apart.

Later, Edd and Eddy get the stand to stand up properly. Edd is then shown trying to measure the correct amount of sugar for the drinks. Eddy is then shown to have nailed a couple of nails to the boards to prevent them from falling apart. As the day goes on, Eddy and Edd set up for their "En-O-Gee Drinks" stand to make a quick buck. While Edd tries to fill in the exact amount of sugar, Eddy dumps an entire bag of sugar in the drink (due to his impatience). When Edd has a sample taste of the drink, he becomes incredibly hyper and begins bouncing off the walls and he remains this way for most of the episode. When Ed shows up, he accidentally ruins everything because of his stench and his clumsiness. Eddy and Edd decide to fix this problem by getting rid of his stench and getting some new clothes for him (in other words, a total makeover).

After Ed takes a good bath and gets a new hairdo, it is decided Ed needs different clothes. They take some clothes from Eddy's closet of dreams and soon he looks almost completely different. Eddy then teaches him some cool moves and gives him cool catchphrases. Everyone becomes impressed with the newer, cooler Ed. Eddy gets the idea of putting on a show and charge admission fee to hear and see Ed the Great. Everything goes well, until the Kanker Sisters show up. Ed tries to use his list to impress them, but May catches him and says "Yabba Dabba" is cheating. They then make Ed look like a fool in front of everybody and then ends it all by throwing all three Eds into a wheelbarrow of manure. The Kankers then hijack the profits, leaving the Eds with nothing.

At the end, the Eds are shown sitting on a sidewalk, with Eddy down in the dumps because he lost his money and fame, Edd with a painful headache from the huge sugar crash he had (because Eddy put a lot of sugar into the drinks earlier) and big Ed is back to his old and smelly, but lovable, self. He then makes a quick joke that neither Edd or Eddy laugh at.

Trivia/Goofs

 * Ed possibly reveals he's about 5' 9" tall, a normal human's adult height. However, the adults in the series seem to be giants, so this height could be fairly normal for his age.
 * Ed has red-orange hair in this episode, but in the episode "The Luck of the Ed", his hair is black since he doesn't shower. This marks the only episode he has a different hair color.
 * The En-O-Gee Drink Sign appears again in "A Glass of Warm Ed", but was written over it and called "Ed's Mart" instead. Also in "Urban Ed", an advertisement for the En-O-Gee Drink is seen in the cardboard city.
 * The R on the pink sugar bowl changes from a capital R to a small r in between shots.
 * After the Eds fail in their attempt to make Ed cool and they are shown sitting on a sidewalk infront of the Candy Store, when Eddy replies to Ed's phrase, Edd's socks are missing.
 * When the new Ed is revealed walking out of Eddy's closet, notice that Eddy has women's shoes paired with all his other shoes for some reason.
 * With Ed's strength and Edd's hyperactivity, they could have just busted out of the wall.
 * This is the first episode everybody appears and has lines.
 * Edd is shown to be VERY hyper if he consumes too much sugar.
 * Edd is seen taking a bath in this episode. However, he prefers shower in later episodes. He may however have changed to doing showers at some point after this episode.
 * This episode was the only time Ed took any sort of bath or shower.
 * Ed has no problem with soap in this episode, but later episodes such as "Once Upon An Ed" and "Run for Your Ed" show he is afraid of soap. Ed may have however developed this fear at some point after this episode.
 * When Lee says "We forgot our money", you can notice May and Marie's mouth move a little bit two or three times on that shot, but no words came out. However if you listen closely, when their mouths move, they make pig noises.
 * When Ed says "Don't smell it, just gel it!" Jonny's mouth moves several times but no words came out.
 * When Jonny laughs at Ed during the show, his mouth didn't move.
 * It would make sense if ginger was Ed's real hair color because it's similar to Sarah's.
 * Goof: Ed's shirt in this episode is white, but when Marie pulled his jacket off and he spun, it was green (the same color of his jacket in all other episodes).
 * This is the first episode that shows sticky notes, as shown in Edd's bathroom.
 * Everything in Eddy's closet is the same color except for the clothes he picks out.
 * After reading the catchphrase paper that Ed had, May mentions that "Yabba-Dabba" is cheating. This may be because Ed stole this catchphrase from Fred Flintstone.
 * We see how Edd and Eddy bathe in this episode. Edd wears a shower cap and bathes in a bathtub removing any stains (and their smells) on him (he appears to bathe similarly to how children are cleaned during bathtime), while Eddy wears a hair net and bathes in a stand-up shower and sings and listens to the radio (he bathes similarly to most teenagers and adults). Ed, on the other hand, doesn't bathe due to his forgetfulness.
 * Ed puts up the sign without nailing it down.
 * Edd isn't hyper active when he says "help".
 * Some of the sticky notes say "Keep out!", "Brush your teeth!", "Walk don't run!" and the last one says "Don't touch the wall!".
 * The shed is bigger in the inside than the outside.
 * This is the first episode where the kids encounter the Kankers.
