"Little Ed Blue" is the 11th episode of Season 4 and the 88th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Ed becomes dangerously angry and violent thanks to a pebble in his shoe, so Edd and Eddy try to cheer him up, but they only end up pestering him even more.
Why It's Little Ed Blue
- This episode demonstrates just how dangerous Ed can be when he's angry, and it's a truly awesome spectacle throughout, especially his tantrum towards the end where he destroys the playground.
- Sarah and Kevin receive some karma for their behavior in previous episodes no thanks to Ed; Ed actually manages to scare Sarah into backing off with his temper, telling her to move away from him and Kevin is batted away by Ed using Eddy as a baseball bat.
- The humor, as always, is still hilarious, like when Eddy and Double D search Ed's room to find something to cheer him up and Eddy stumbles upon a magazine that appears to be an adult magazine but turns out to be full of pictures of baby chicks.
- Even Ed's anger can make for some hilarity at times, such as his rejection of Edd's hug and him making his Baron O' Beefdip toy breath fire.
- Strong and memorable dialogue such as:
- "Away with you, unwanted pesterers!"
- "You torment me!"
- "Touch me again and I will squash you!"
- "Ed's been holding out on us! Chicks Galore, huh?"
- And, of course, let's not forget Ed's famous words that he screams out in this episode: "BIG TROUBLLLLLE!!!!!"
- The way Ed is animated throughout the episode highlights the intensity of his situation, particularly this face he makes at Edd and this face when Eddy ignites his tantrum.
- Creatively amusing visual gags provided in Edd & Eddy's failed attempts to cheer up Ed such as Eddy's head after having it closed inside a comic book.
- The beginning already gets the episode off to a good start, with Eddy and Double D screening a caveman movie they made in Ed's garage and a food fight ensuing after Eddy accidentally spills popcorn on Jimmy.
- No refunds were shown being given out, so this may be one of the few of the Eds' scams that worked somewhat.
- It has a great message about how trying to cheer somebody up without knowing why they're in a bad mood will only make things worse, as demonstrated by Eddy and Double D's attempts at cheering up Ed without knowing that it was a pebble in his shoe that made him upset only making him angrier.
- Good ending: Jonny, under Plank's instruction, removes Ed's shoe and the pebble lodged inside falls out, reverting Ed back to his joyful demeanor. Eddy then falls into a fit of crazed laughter over this fact, which Ed joins in on.
BIG TROUBLLLLLE!!!!! Qualities
- Even if the ending was decent, the plot twist where it turns out Ed's bad mood was caused by a pebble in his shoe is somewhat trivial to the point where even Edd questions it.
- Kevin's line "This movie sucks eggs" came off as inappropriate for a kids' show since it sounds like "This movie sucks ass".
- This episode can be mean-spirtied while Ed become dangerously angry and violent thanks to a pebble in his shoe,
Reception
The episode is well-regarded among the Ed, Edd n Eddy fanbase. Along with its sister episode, it has a 7.5/10 on IMDb.
