* BrokenAesop: Well this show was never about aesops but Eddy getting punished for using his boots to bully the other kids by falling into a stroller and being teased by his own friends by treating him as a baby comes off as unfair when you consider [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic the cul-de sac kids were the ones to bully him in the first place]].

* DesignatedVillain: Eddy is punished for using his boots to exact revenge on the Cul De Sac kids who mocked his size. While he shouldn't have done that, it is kinda cruel to him to be punished by being made fun of yet again at the end of the episode by getting dressed as (and getting treated like) a baby. After all, he was the victim rather than the perpetrator as the kids were the ones who mocked him first while, at the beginning of the episode, he was either trying to hang out with the other kids or just trying to mind his own business.

Added DiffLines:

** As this episode aired before the show became it's more well known SadistShow in season 2, rather than mean spirited humor, Eddy's preoccupancy, while albeit unfair, is much softer in tone than later on.

Tired of being teased and picked on by the Cul-de-Sac kids for his short stature, Eddy, after a fit of anger, locks himself away in his room. Double D decides to help him by inventing shoes to increase his height. Unfortunately, the remote soon finds its way into the hands of the Kanker Sisters...

!! This episode contains the following tropes:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Eddy's status as TheNapoleon is only ever brought up in this episode. In later episodes, the kids never even mention his height.
** The Kankers outright pick on Eddy in this episode, even before getting the remote. It's rather odd considering in later episodes, their picking on them would always be in a more stalker-ish way.
* TheNapoleon: Eddy is ''not'' happy about his short stature.
