"Virt-Ed-Go" is the 14th episode of Season 1 and the 14th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds build their own clubhouse, which gets infiltrated by the Kanker Sisters.
Plot
This episode starts out with Ed's piece of gum being used to obtain a quarter from the sewer. After successfully bringing the quarter out of the sewer, a bird comes by and steals it out of Eddy's hand. Eddy's anger is distracted when they then see a plane advertising Joe's Clubhouse. Eddy thinks it would be cool if they had their own clubhouse, so the Eds go out to try and find a spot to build one. Kevin's backyard doesn't work out with him, the landfill is deemed "too unsanitary" by Edd, and the local mailbox is too small. A perfectly sized tree is then discovered by Edd. They first need to find some wood to make the clubhouse and after some help from Jonny 2x4 and Plank, they begin building "Club Ed".
Ed is afraid of going up, but when he finally does, he keeps falling off. It is eventually finished, and the Eds are off to find members. Eddy's hard sell act doesn't work well. Kevin is skeptical about the "stock car" and "yacht races", and Plank claims he can see through the obvious scam. Nobody joins after seeing the clubhouse since they were laughing instead, because the Kankers invaded the clubhouse and took it over, and they are not going to give it up that easily.
By the end of the episode the Eds fail to get their clubhouse back and shortly afterwards Eddy is thrown into the clubhouse by Ed, then further thrown far out into a thorn bush by May. Edd then begins removing the thorns off of Eddy as he tries to come up with an idea to get the clubhouse back, but has to deal with the pain from the thorns being removed from his skin. The episode ends there.

Trivia
- Goofs:
- When Ed tried to chase the bird, his mouth did not move when he said "Hey!"
- When Edd pulls out his telescope to look else where while Eddy was complaining about the bird taking his quarter, his mouth did not move when he said "Ahh..."
- Eddy's mouth did not move when he asked Ed and Edd "Anybody know how to use these?"
- In one scene, there was only one stripe on Eddy's helmet, instead of two.
- When Eddy runs up to Plank, his helmet disappeared.
- Ed seemed to have a very difficult time carrying the lumber used to build the tree house, yet in other episodes, he lifts even heavier objects, such as houses, with ease.
- Ed is afraid to climb a tree in this episode, but he was able to climb one in "Quick Shot Ed" without any problems. Not only that, but in "They Call Him Mr. Ed," Ed built an elevator that went all the way to the moon.
- Every time Ed is lifted to the clubhouse, he is holding dirt, yet there are no holes seen.
- When Eddy pointed the way to the clubhouse, the Eds were in their normal clothes, instead of the vacation clothing they used throughout that scene.
- When Rolf was laughing at the Eds' makeovered club house with the others, his teeth are white instead of the usual green.
- When the Eds are having water balloons thrown at them, there are 13 water balloons. However, they threw 20 to 30 water balloons at the Kankers. It's possible that the rest of the balloons were thrown back offscreen or that they harmlessly splattered against something else.
- A running gag in this episode is that Ed keeps falling out of the clubhouse.
- Ed says "That bird stole my gum!" However, when the bird is seen flying, there is no gum. Ed may be trying to support Eddy's problem, referring to a past event, or just being his clueless self. The bird may also have eaten the gum.
- The title is a reference to the medical condition vertigo, however in the title, "vert" is incorrectly spelled "virt".
- Edd is the only Ed who does not get hit by a water balloon.
- The scene in which a seagull snatches Eddy's quarter is referenced by Ed in "Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed" (while behaving like Eddy) and again by Eddy in "Robbin' Ed."
- This is the first appearance of Club Ed. It later appeared again in the episode "The Day the Ed Stood Still," but it was destroyed by Edzilla in that episode. It also appeared in one of the comic strips in Cartoon Network Block Party.
- This episode causes Eddy's hatred for birds.
- This is the first episode that shows seagulls. The second was the episode "Ready, Set... Ed!"
- All the characters appeared in the episode. Rolf, Nazz and Sarah were the only characters that did not speak, but they laughed when the Kankers took over Club Ed.
- Ed fell off of the tree five times and Eddy fell off once.
