Recap / Ed Edd N Eddy S 3 E 14 Boys Will Be Eds

Go To

The Eds were selling sandwiches when Jimmy gets chased around by Victor, who wants to eat Jimmy's sandwich. Victor tackles Jimmy to the ground, prompting Rolf to get his goat off of the boy. Sarah thinks Rolf is attacking Jimmy and hits him with a tennis racket. Kevin, Jonny, and the Eds laugh at the expense of this until Nazz shows up to scold them for laughing at Jimmy's misery. And thus, a Love Dodecahedron is born between Nazz and the boys sans Jimmy and Rolf.


The episode provides examples of:

  • Action Prologue: The episode begins with the Eds' scam already going wrong, with Jimmy being chased by Victor.
  • Actually Pretty Funny: Edd's reaction to Jimmy's incident with Victor. He initially talks down to the others who are already laughing, but also succumbs to the same laughter after explicitly stating what happened.
    Edd: I fail to see a comedy in Jimmy's tragedy, Eddy. There is nothing funny about being chased around the yard, then– (a smile appears) –unintentionally slipping on a– (a giggle pops out) –slice of luncheon meat! (He bursts into laughs. Kevin joins in, and Ed and Jonny smile.)
  • A Day in the Limelight: The only episode in the entire show where Nazz gets the spotlight, if only to show just how much she doesn't want it.
  • Baseball Episode: The middle act is a baseball game, with all the boys too infatuated with Nazz to play properly.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Nazz stands up for Jimmy when the other boys are making fun of him.
  • Blah, Blah, Blah: When the boys suddenly become infatuated with Nazz, her scolding trails off into "Blah blah blah..."
  • Butt-Monkey: Jimmy gets attacked by Victor, who tries to steal his sandwich.
  • Call-Back: Kevin calls himself a dork after the Eds ruin his chances with Nazz, making this a case of In-Universe Defictionalization from Eddy's story.
  • Dumb Blonde: Nazz shows some traits of it.
    • Kevin's gift to Nazz is to have Rolf shave her name into the side of Victor's fur:
      (Victor is wearing skates, and Rolf rolls him over to Nazz)
      Nazz: Victor changed his name to "Nazz" just like me!
      Rolf: Are you weak in the upper story?
      Kevin: (nervous and sweating) Later, Rolf. Kinda neat, huh, Nazz? It's sort of a gift for you.
      Nazz: (notices that the skates Victor is wearing are hers) Why is Nazz wearing my skates?
  • Enemy Eats Your Lunch: Victor steals Jimmy's sandwich.
  • Food and Animal Attraction: Rolf's goat Victor is chasing Jimmy for his sandwich.
  • Help Mistaken for Attack: Even though Rolf is clearly trying to remove Victor from Jimmy, Sarah hits him and tells him to leave Jimmy alone.
  • Internal Monologue: During the baseball game, we hear the Eds and Kevin thinking about Nazz. Ed, however, is distracted by the echo inside his head.
    Kevin: (thinking) She's so radical.
    Eddy: (thinking) She can't take her eyes off me.
    Edd: (thinking) Her hair is so clean, and not flyaway at all.
    Ed: (thinking) Hello? Echo! MY NAME IS ED!
  • No Sympathy: What's the other boys' (except Ed) reaction to Jimmy getting injured and his sandwich stolen by Victor? Drop on the floor rolling and laughing.
  • Serenade Your Lover: The Eds try to do this for Nazz - too bad they got Jimmy's house.
