YMMV / Ed, Edd n Eddy S1E7 "Dawn Of The Eds"

Go To

  • Signature Scene: The Eds with their makeshift rocket. So iconic that it's actively had merch made of it and referenced in supplementary materials for the franchise.
  • Unintentional Period Piece
    • The Eds go dumpster diving for bottles to recycle, hoping to earn enough for an afternoon's worth of candy, clearly setting this episode in a pre-Great Recession North America before inflation rates resulted in even lesser pay for voluntary recycling practices such as these. To outside audiences such as in parts of Europe like Germany and Croatia, this wouldn't be the case though youths are encouraged to let older and homeless people to turn in their bottles for recycling money.
    • The line about seeing the movie on TV in a year "with all the good stuff cut out" dates the episode to the pre-streaming era, when movies are released, uncut, to services immediately after or even before their theatrical runs have ended. Controversies with localization and bowlderization still persist for media, but in this case it's to get past censors of other nations instead of protecting children. As the Eds are American, lenient free speech laws wouldn't likely affect them.
