2	[[caption-width-right:350:"This'll cement our friendship with Kevin, and he'll be just pouring jawbreakers at us!"]]

5	!! This episode contains the following tropes:
6	* AshFace: The Eds destroy Kevin's chimney, leaving them and Kevin covered in soot.
7	* CoordinatedClothes: In an attempt to befriend Kevin, the Eds dress just like him.
8	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
9	** Kevin was ''legitimately going to give the Eds jawbreakers'' until Eddy was rude to him by forcing his scam on him. Just a season or two later this would be ''unheard of'' for Kevin, as he'd be much more likely to taunt the Eds right off the bat about getting free jawbreakers. Somewhat justified in that the Eds' antagonistic actions throughout the episode, among the multitude of other scams they continue to pull on him and others throughout the series, would naturally cause him to grow less sympathetic to them over time.
10	** Much of the sympathy of this episode is actually on ''Kevin'' instead of the Eds. The plot starts because of Eddy being a jerk to him, and we're supposed to sympathize with the fact that the Eds won't leave him alone once they figure out he has a garage full of jawbreakers. In later episodes, Kevin would ''always'' be the outright aggressor and antagonist to the Eds.
11	* FairWeatherFoe: The Eds try to become "friends" with Kevin in order to score some free jawbreakers, which Kevin sees right through.
12	* FunWithFlushing: While atempting to tunnel into Kevin's garage, the Eds end up in his bath tub instead. After Eddy angers him, Kevin removes the plug and the Eds are promptly sucked down the drain, with Ed actually enjoying it.
13	* HypocriticalHumor: "Those three stupid hairs on his head?!"
14	* IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by the Eds who dress up as Kevin, under the psychological belief that imitating someone's manners and appearance makes them like you. Needless to say, it doesn't work, and it just further serves to annoy Kevin.
15	* KidsPreferBoxes: By the time the Eds get to Kevin for their free jawbreakers, they are all out, and Kevin just drops the empty box at them. Ed says, "Free box!" and crawls inside it.
16	* MonsterInTheMoat: The Eds' scam is to dig a moat in the alley, set up a drawbridge, and pay the kids to pass. Ed gets in the moat and acts as the crocodile guarding it.
17	* NonNudeBathing: Partially, as Kevin is shown bathing while still wearing his hat.
18	* PetTheDog: [[DownPlayedTrope Downplayed]]. In a rare moment of kindness towards the Eds, Kevin aims to offer them some of his dad's offloaded jawbreakers - but by Eddy's scam-mongering, is soon irked enough to withdraw the offer.
19	* SlipperySwimsuit: The Eds siphon water from Sarah and Jimmy's inflatable pool for their moat, taking Jimmy's shorts with it. Ed wears it on his head while pretending to be a crocodile.
20	* SneezeOfDoom: The Eds try to clean Kevin's chimney by lowering Ed while wearing a rainbow wig. The soot gets into Ed's nose, causing him to sneeze so hard the entire chimney falls down, taking the entire back wall with it.
