Robbin' Ed is a season 4 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. It is the episode where Captain Melonhead saves the Cul-de-Sac from Eddy's scams.
[edit] Plot
As far as Double D is concerned Eddy has just managed to sink to a new all-time low. While the cul-de-sac kids seem happy enough right now, their happiness is all based on ignorance and they're yet to discover the reason for poor Edd's conscience being pricked so much. The itself reason is pretty simple - Edd knows that he built only one quite nifty little gadget for Eddy called the "Thingamajig" but he's just seen his friend shamelessly shift several times that number to his eager and unsuspecting paying customers. Its deeply suspicious and as Edd soon discovers, the truth of the matter is that all Eddy's sold the kids is boxes packed with wood shavings, bricks and even yukky used flypapers and what's more he's quite unrepentant and heading for the candy store.
Or at least he'd be heading for the candy store if someone weren't standing in his way. Enter the mysterious masked avenger Captain Melonhead and his trusty sidekick Splinter who are here to right wrongs and protect the innocent. Before he really knows quite what's hit him Eddy finds himself relieved of his beloved cash and can only gape in horror as its returned to its rightful owners. Obviously this kind of behaviour is intolerable! Eddy's up in arms about this do-gooder cramping his style and so he quickly hatches a plot to trick the meddlesome Melonhead which is why Double D is wearing a very suspect looking moustache and loudly announcing his willingness to be ripped off by purchasing a new butt from dishonest dealer Eddy. Naturally the unsuspecting Melonhead takes the bait only to find the tables turned as Eddy reveals himself to be none other than Melonhead's arch nemesis Professor Scam. Their following battle is weird to say the least but after a rapid-growth acorn grenade attack it looks to be going in Melonhead's favour, however Professor Scam isn't above playing dirty and after some hose-fuelled blackmail at the expense of brave's Splinter he gets the unhappy Melonhead to surrender. All seems lost for the have-a-go hero and his faithful buddy as they fall towards Ed's vat of gravy, surely it can't end like this? Indeed it can't for someone else is here to save the day and he's more than just your Average Joe ...
[edit] Quotes
- Eddy: (doing the hard sell) "A techno-model like this could set you back a million bucks but for the next five minutes you can have it for one easy payment of 25 cents!"
Rolf "Rolf's yams inflate with glee at this thing-a-ma-jig!"
- Ed: (pointing to the top of the phone pole) "Oh look! Up in the sky!"
Edd: (squinting) "Is that a bird?"
Ed: "Could be a plane..."
Eddy: (irritated) "What bird? Does it have a quarter in its mouth?"
- Melonhead: "Your money is safe and sound good citizens of the cul-de-sac for Captain Melonhead and Splinter the Wonder Wood will protect you"
Rolf: (puzzled) "Is the circus in town?"
- Rolf: "Look! Our hero dangles like Victor's milkspouts!"
Melonhead: (horrified) "Victor's got milkspouts?"
[edit] Trivia
- At the beginning of the episode the script Double D reads, says "49a". That's the production code of this episode.
- When Double-D and Ed claim whats the figure on the power line, EDD says, "Is that a bird?". However, Eddy asks if it has a quarter in its mouth. This happened in Vert-Ed-Go, (season 1), when a bird stole a quarter from Eddy.
- While Eddy is showing off the Thing-a-Majig, he uses it to put a hat on Ed's head. In the next scene, the hat disappears.
- Jimmy shouts out "It's the end of the world as we know it!" which is also a song by "R.E.M."
