When a bird steals their hard-eraned quarter, the Eds, in the midst of chasing it, discover an airplane trailing a sign behind it, advertising a clubhouse. On a whim, Eddy decides to start a scam centered on making a clubhouse, with the idea being to charge membership fees for it. Finding a spot to build one is no easy task, and building one even less so, but the boys get the job done and go to show the other kids... only to discover to their horror that the Kankers have moved in and turned it into their own club!

The episode starts with the Eds trying to get a quarter out of a sewer drain, via a piece of gum. Eddy succeeds at pulling it out--only for a bird to fly down and snatch it out of his hand. Eddy despairs, but Double D soon notices an airplane trailing a sign behind it, advertising a clubhouse. On a whim, Eddy decides to start a scam centered on making a clubhouse, with the idea being to charge membership fees for it. Their first three attempts at location spotting go nowhere (trying to set ground on Kevin's lawn, and then scouting around the top of the local landfill, and trying to squeeze inside a mailbox) but they finally find the perfect spot with a local tree. Eddy wants to begin construction of a treehouse for the club right away, but Double D informs him that they need a lot of lumber. By chance Jonny is walking nearby, and while Eddy shoos him off at first, he quickly realizes Plank is lumber and tries to snatch him. Jonny resists, and compromises by having Plank lead them to large piles of lumber.

After acquiring the wood, the Eds begin constructing the treehouse. Ed's fear of heights cause trouble, forcing Double D to lift him into the air with a motor operated winch. As they build the clubhouse, Ed's foolishness causes no end of trouble, with him constantly falling off the house, forcing Double D to motor-lift him back up constantly. Eventually, Eddy grows fed up with Ed and ties him to a nearby branch, where he can simply paint a nearby wall. Eventually, the clubhouse is completed, and Eddy sets phase 2 of his scam into action--get the other kids to join the club. Obviously skeptical about the Eds club being another scam, the Eds eagerly lead the culdesac to the clubhouse--only to discover to their horror that the Kankers have moved in and turned it into their own club!

* FailedASpotCheck: The Eds build a treehouse with the prospect of charging kids to enter it as part of a club, only to find The Kanker Sisters occupying it while they were gone. Of course The Eds aren't happy about this since they were the ones who built it, but since the treehouse wasn't built in anyone's backyard (nor had any type of custom locks for the door), it's essentially free gain to any kid passing by regardless of the builder.

Added DiffLines:

* EpicFail: The Eds try to get the Kankers out of the clubhouse by throwing water balloons up at them. Each one they throw up doesn't pop, allowing the Kankers to throw them back at the Eds instead. Also, the biggest one they throw up doesn't even land in the clubhouse, heading up towards the sky and later falling back on top of Eddy after all the other balloons have been thrown.


Added DiffLines:

* MistakenForRomance: When the Eds try pelting the Kankers with water balloons, the Kankers mistake it as a way of "sweet talking" them, while May outright declares the Eds love them. When they start throwing the water balloons back at the Eds, Lee shouts at them "we love you too, Eds".

** Although probably coincidental, when Eddy looks at the blueprints after they're done building the design shows the clubhouse absolutely dwarfing the tree. It also seems to be fitted with some impressive amenities like a telescope observatory, and a satellite dish not too unlike the WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor's own headquarters from the show which would air three years later.

''Virt-Ed-Go'' is the eighth episode of Season 1 of WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy.

Eddy despairs, but Double D soon notices an airplane trailing a sign behind it, advertising a clubhouse.

!Tropes:
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Ed does this three times
** When Eddy's quarter is stolen by the bird, Ed is upset that it took his gum with it.
** When Kevin tells them to scram when they try to set up a club in his yard, Ed assumes Kevin already has a clubhouse there.
-->Ed: Weird, Kevin already has a club house...
-->Eddy: Shut up, Ed.
** When he wears a safety helmet on his butt instead of his head "for protection", and he panics when Eddy tries to warn him it's not safe and forcibly remove it.
-->"Ed, why do you have a helmet tied to your butt?"
-->"For protection."
-->"It's meant for your head!" (grabs helmet)
-->"It's my butt!"
-->"It's not safe!" (pulls helmet with crowbar)
-->"Eddy, stop!" (Ed clings to the wall)
-->"It's not meant--" (both Eds fall off the clubhouse)
* DiabolusExMachina: The only reason the Kankers showed up in this episode was to make things worse for the Eds.
* DownerEnding: The Kankers butcher the Club Ed scam, and the Eds never get to reclaim their clubhouse from them. In a future episode, however, Edd, Eddy, and the Kids are shown hiding in the clubhouse, implying they were able to reclaim their clubhouse eventually off screen.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Double D is surprisingly casual about the idea of getting a quarter out of a sewer drain and scouting around a landfill for a clubhouse, at least compared to how he would act in later seasons, where he'd likely FreakOut if he was in either situation. Also, Ed's voice is noticeably raspier than it is in other episodes.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Each time Ed is hoisted back to the workspace, he pulls a chunk of the ground with him. However, when both he and Eddy are lifted back after falling, Eddy's actually pulling up the chunk of dirt.
* HardWorkMontage: The building of the clubhouse, which is constantly fumbled thanks to Ed.
* NonchalantDodge: When the Kankers pelt the Eds with water balloons, Double D is the only one who avoids getting wet thanks to this trope.
* OhCrap: The Eds are horrified when they discover the Kankers have taken over their clubhouse.
* RealityEnsues: The Eds build a tree house with the prospect of charging kids to enter it as part of a club, only to find The Kanker Sisters occupying it while they were gone. Of course The Eds aren't happy about this since they were the ones who built it, but since the tree house wasn't built in anyone's backyard (nor had any type of custom locks for the door), it's essentially free gain to any kid passing by regardless of the builder.
* RunningGag: Ed falling off the clubhouse and getting winch lifted back up, while clinging to a chunk of ground. The last one ends with Eddy clinging to the ground instead of Ed, though.
* ShoutOut: Upon arriving at the spot for the tree house with their lumber, Ed declares "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCVySHDCqOA The maple has landed!]]" Eddy chuckles, but he doesn't get it.
** Although probably coincidental, when Eddy looks at the blueprints after they're done building the design shows the clubhouse absolutely dwarfing the tree. It also seems to be fitted with some impressive amenities like a telescope observatory, and a satellite dish not too unlike the WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor's own headquarters from the show which would air three years later.
* TooDumbToLive: Ed is very careless when working on the clubhouse. He blindly walks straight off the floor and falls to the ground, and he inexplicably wears his helmet on his butt instead of his head.
* YankTheDogsChain: Eddy loses his chance at getting a quarter twice thanks to a local bird. And then his Club Ed scam goes down in flames when the Kankers abruptly hijack their clubhouse. He gets thrown into a pricker bush and has to get the thorns pulled out one by one in the end, too.
