* AdjacentToThisCompleteBreakfast: Double D tries to run Ed through a maze to reach a box of Chunky Puffs on the other side, which is shown this way.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: The Eds don't suffocate from a lack of oxygen when they reach the moon.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Eddy wanted the elevator to go nowhere but up. Ed ended up building the elevator so high that it ended up getting the Eds stuck on the moon.
