So when they get to the lane, where the ransom is at, they didn't care about the key, thinking that a perpetrator had stolen completely different items that had recently gone missing.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Eddy sends ransom notes to everyone in the Cul-de-sac, wanting to exchange the key for a bag of jawbreakers. He believes only the person the key belongs to will show up, but instead everyone shows up believing someone else stole another item from them, which escalates into a massive fight. Eddy is entertained by this at first but quickly becomes confused by it, and tries to break it up by telling everyone ''he'' called them and ''he'' has the key, only for Kevin to say nobody cares about the key before they resume fighting.

Added DiffLines:
* PoorCommunicationKills: When all the kids show up in the lane after getting the ransom letters, they all immediately assume one of them is the thief who stole a personal item of theirs. This is best shown with Rolf and Kevin, the first two to arrive, with them both blaming the other for stealing their eggplant cups and headphones respectively, without ever mentioning they received the same ransom letter and thus couldn't be "the thief". Furtherly, things only escalated that far because Eddy didn't mention the key in his ransom letter, leading everyone else to think it is referring to a completely different item.

!!Key To My Ed provides examples of the following tropes:

* AnAesop: When you find something discarded like a key, be sure to take it to the authorities.
* BigEater: Eddy feeds the key to Ed to try to hide it from the Kankers. Later when the Kankers are jumping on Ed's back to try to get him to cough it up, he ends up coughing up a ''sink'' first. This is lampshaded by Lee, who says in a flabbergasted tone "This boy's got a big appetite," when the sink lands in front of her.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Eddy asks at one point if Jonny will stay asleep through the whole show.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After capturing the Eds, the Kankers force them to play footsies with them. Eddy and Double D are both disgusted by this and struggle fruitlessly to escape, while Ed has no reaction other than to call May's feet "clammy".
* DownerEnding: The key that the Eds have been obsessed over? It's actually the key to Ed's house the whole time! And by the time they learned this, they're unable to escape and get trapped in Ed's basement, forced to play footsies with the Kankers.
