The Destruction of Rethink Avenue, also known as the Kanker Hissy Fit, is an event that took place during the episode "Run for your Ed" when the Kanker Sisters lost their favorite Ship-in-a-Bottle (when Ed ended up sleepwalking into their trailer and got the Bottle stuck on his finger) and went on a destructive warpath on the whole Cul-de-Sac. The Eds, Rolf and his livestock are the only ones to survive unscathed, as the rest either get beat up and stuffed in bags, or at the very least got "scarred for life" by the event in some of the kids' case like Jimmy. Rolf's attitude showed that this was not the first time Rethink Avenue was destroyed because he had knowledge that he had to hide when the Kankers are very merciless, destructive, unpredictable and dangerous. The Destruction of Rethink Avenue is single-handedly the most catastrophic disaster ever in Peach Creek history beating the flooding of Peach Creek and The Destruction of the Lane.

Prelude[]

When Ed sleepwalks into their trailer and starts to eat their food, he then ends up (somehow) getting their ship in a bottle stuck on his finger. At this point, he has woken the sisters and has already left. When they had found the Bottle gone, Marie wanted to call the cops. May tries to call 911 but Lee smashes the phone and says they should find it 'Kanker-style'. Meanwhile, Rolf is leaving to deliver a huge weenie to the market when Victor stops pulling it. Rolf then sees Wilfred scooting around the ground squealing, and the chickens freaking out. Rolf then puts a chicken leg to his ear and knows that something is wrong. He then grabs all of his animals and runs to the shelter and locks the door. Meanwhile, Eddy and Edd go to pickup Ed at Kevin's house, where they discover the missing bottle. When they can't get it off, they go out to find a way to get it off; thus, the destruction begins.

The Attack[]

When the Eds leave, the Kankers arrive. Jimmy and Nazz are the first to see the Kankers destroy the first house. The destruction of the first house caused an Earthquake that swept through the whole street. Sarah was the first to be attacked with Jimmy watching in horror as he was hiding in his room, just before the Kankers burst open the door (Lee simply told him to make things easy and hand over the bottle, but Marie insisted that they just find it the hard way). Meanwhile, the Eds are trying to put soap on the bottle but, because Ed has a fear of soap, he runs away. He then runs into Kevin's backyard when he is cutting it. An angered Kevin tells them to go away, unaware that the Kankers had just entered his yard. Ed has just gotten rid of the soap and now wants to use sticky tape to get it off. They then go to get it, unaware that the whole street is being destroyed with several of the kids running for their lives. They then go into Sarah's room to get it. They succeed, but are yelled at by Sarah to get out (who is hiding from the Kankers). When the Eds leave, the Kankers come in to get their next victim. Unfortunately for the Eds, the sticky tape did not work (and caused damage to Edd's house). The Eds are also in trouble when Sarah tells the Kankers (after being gagged and stuffed in a potato sack) that the Eds have their bottle and they leave to get it at Edd's house. When they got there, Edd opens the door to see his ultimate nightmare and locks it (slowly) and tells Ed and Eddy the bottle belongs to the Kankers. They try to hide in the sink, but are found. When they think this is the end, the Kankers simply take the bottle off and leave (while fighting over it).

The aftermath of the Kankers' attack on Rethink Avenue.

In the end, the whole street is destroyed, Eddy has his left index finger stuck in the sink, Edd goes to get some soap to help with said problem while Ed goes to get the Kankers since they were good at unsticking fingers (despite Eddy's pleas), and Rolf thinks the danger that he foretold is still going on. It may take a long time till he finds the destruction is over. It is also unknown how the street was rebuilt or how quickly it was.

Trivia[]

  • Fire trucks and helicopters can be heard in the background at the very end of the episode. This implies that Peach Creek must have some form of emergency services. It remains unclear, though, who may have contacted them.
  • Except for the door, Edd's house is the only visible structure unscathed by the events.
  • In a wide shot of the Cul-de-Sac, Ed and Sarah's house is completely destroyed. Moments later, Sarah is shown hiding in her room.
  • Jimmy coins the term "Kanker Hissy Fit" in this episode; yelling it out immediately after the destruction begins. This term is reused in the online game Cul-de-Sac Smash 2: Wheels of Fury as the name of Lee Kanker's special attack.
