    When Jonny is going to bed and the Eds are cramed on the wall and they told some stories to Jonny Eddy's story was okay, Edd's is not that good, but the most funniest story is told by Ed when the Kankers ate overatetated mashed patotoes and turned into giants which was funny and when Ed grabbed Edd and Eddy to fly away and I mean fart away from the Kankers which was funny and Ed made up the part about how they are stuck on the wall. I give this episode a 9.6.moreless

    As Jonny & Plank are about to go to sleep
    The Eds tell stories. Eddy of course, tries to give
    Himself all of the credit and glory while Edd tells
    A nice and polite story as that he always does and
    Then Jonny & Plan fall asleep as Lumpy tells a story about the neighborhood being attacked by the Kankers!!

    We never really figure out the real reason how the Eds get stuck in Johnny's wall, only that it has something to do with a jawbreaker bank. All the Eds tell ludicrous but hilarious tales of how they got stuck in Johnny's wall from Eddy being a president of a bank to giant-sized, mutated kanker sisters chasing the Eds by the use of over-radiated mashed potatoes! It shows the how the Eds tend to overexaggerate on things or just make them completely up. This is one of my more favorite episodes due to the originality and humor of it. It is very humorous indeed.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (9)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • During Edd's story, Jimmy's jawbreaker keeps changing colors.

    • In Eddy's story, his bank vault has jawbreakers from different countries, states, and cities.

    • Something bad always happens to Jimmy in all three of the Ed's stories.

    • It was never specifically revealed as to how the Eds got trapped in Jonny's wall, other than Ed's ridiculous story, which was surprisingly the most likely story as to how they got stuck in Jonny's wall.

    • In the opening part of Edd's story, there are a bunch of equations and angle measurements in the background.

    • Normally in Eddy's vision Rolf has a very skinny head, but as Ed and Double D force everyone out, Rolf's head is normal sized.

    • When the Kanker sisters first appear in Jonny's wall, Marie's shirt is grey like May's instead of black.

    • Listen Closely: When Ed and Edd force everyone out of the bank in Eddy's story, Jonny voice can be heard, even though Jonny isn't there.

    • When the Kankers are giants, they blow a big kiss, and four big lip craters surround the Eds. Now since there are three Kankers, where did the fourth crater come from? Reply: When the Kankers become giants, their mouths morph together into one huge mouth. They didn't blow one kiss each, producing a mysterious fourth crater. The three sisters blew four kisses in unison, hence, the four craters.

(Ed looks at a hole in the wall of the nearby house) Ed: (gets up and points at the hole) We have found shelter!

(Lee tries to crush Eddy, but then he starts to run away along with the other Eds, Ed screams in terror and Marie is then shown lifting her arm, revealing a chicken that blasts a laser that turns a house that the Eds were running towards into a giant bar of soap) Ed: Evil soap!

    • Eddy: (Telling his story) Let me tell you the story, Jonny boy!

(Kevin rides up, looking like a monkey, on a trike) And I say, "Hey Kev, is that a flat tire you got there?" He looks down and bam! (Kevin crashes into a tree) What a sap! Kevin: (Laughing at himself) Good one, Mr. Eddy! I'm such a dork!

    • Ed: (Telling his story) And so it went! Little did Ed, Edd, and Eddy know that deep within the intestines of the trailer park, the Kanker sisters were planning to foil the brave Eds' attempts with over-radiated mashed potatoes! Slowly, one-by-one, they would devour the dated spuds! (In Ed's story, the Kankers eat the mashed potatoes and begin to mutate, causing the trailer to burst open. The scene then cuts to the three Eds in the lane) Edd: Blah blah! Blah blah blah blah! Blah blah blah! Yap! Yap! Blah! Blah! Dribble! Dribble! Dribble! Dribble!

    • Ed: My underwear's running high, guys!

    • Eddy: (After the Kankers in Ed's dream fuse together to create a three-eyed, three-nosed, and three-bodied creature) Ed, your story's getting weird!

  • NOTES (14)

    ADD NOTES

    • This is the second time Edd is shown wearing a bowtie.

    • This is the second time Kevin has been portrayed as a monkey. The first time was in "Look into my Eds".

    • In Double-D's story, he says "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!", which is what he said to Eddy in Vert-Ed-Go.

    • The opening credit background is the same background used in "Rock-a-bye Ed."

    • The Eds sort of break the fourth wall by interrupting each other's stories and by Eddy telling Ed that his story "is getting weird".

    • The Ed's and Jimmy appeared in all the stories, Kevin, Rolf, Nazz and Sarah appear in Ed and Eddy's stories, the Kankers appear in Ed's story and Jonny and Plank appear in none of the stories.

    • This is the third time the Kankers kiss the Eds.

    • We learn that Jonny reads a book called "Conrad the Lonely Stump."

    • In Ed's story the Kankers has weird powers (in addition to being gigantic): Marie: Had chickens near her armpits which fired rays that would turn anything into some sort of detergent. May: Would hide her head inside a house Lee: Could shoot lipstick from her lips

    • In Double D's story there was a "diagram" of a Jawbreaker's structure similar to that of the Earth's structure (starting from surface to core)

    • Ed's story was the only tale that came the closest to the reason why the Eds were stuck in Jonny's wall.

    • All of the Ed's stories had something to do with their character: Ed: Imaginative and sense-less Edd: Neat, organized, and basic Eddy Snazzy and unintelligent

    • When the Kankers grow you can clearly hear the Godzilla cry while they are growing.

    • The characters in the Ed's stories were as follows: Ed's Story Ed: Normal, could fly in his story Eddy: Kept saying "Kankers!" Edd: Kept saying "Blah! Blah!", "Yap! Yap!", and "Dribble! Dribble! Dribble!" Edd's Story Ed and Eddy: Greedy and misbehaving; afraid of Edd when he yells at them Edd: Regular; scolding and when Eddy took over he had a real sock on his head, giant teeth, very weak arms and he wished he was as "good looking" as Eddy Jimmy: Normal, but no retainer Eddy's Story Ed: Any item in Eddy's jawbreaker bank Edd: Eddy's main worker in the bank; Kisse's up to Eddy Eddy: Rich jawbreaker bank-owning tycoon Kevin: A monkey with a tricycle who considers himself a dork when Eddy tricks him into crashing into a tree Rolf: Skinny and stretchy; considers him a simpleton Jimmy: Wears only a diaper and a high-tech retainer Sarah: Big-mouthed and touchy Nazz: Wears a bikini

  • ALLUSIONS (6)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Eddy: (to Ed Way to go, Hemingway! It was your part that put him to sleep. Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest and most renowned writers of the twentieth century, author of such classics as A FAREWELL TO ARMS and THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA. Like Ed's story, Hemingway's novels did not contain many details.

    • The slogan from Double D's Jawbreaker bank: "In Edd we trust" is derived from America's motto "In God we trust"

    • Title: Once Upon a Time The episode title is a title pun of "Once Upon a Time", commonly used as an opening line for fairy tales.

    • Double-D & Eddy: "It's a Neverending Story!!!"
      The "Neverending Story" is a real book and a real movie that was made during the 80's

    • Jonny: "Plank and me want to hear stories about silver hammers, octopus's gardens, and Mr. Kite!"
      These three story subjects are references to three songs created by The Beetles. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Octopus's Garden", and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"

    • Double-D:" It's always one step forward and two steps back"
      These are some of the lyrics to the song "Love Somebody Like You".
