Ed, Edd n Eddy is arguably one of the best animated shows in the past two decades. 20 years since it first aired, the show holds up incredibly well and most of the humor still gets a laugh out of me and many others who grew up watching it.
Which is why this episode tends to maligned by the fans. Usually, when the Eds are up to no good, they get their comeuppance (and rightfully so) as do many of the characters. However, this episode just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Most of the characters are extremely mean spirited and the Eds get punished and humiliated for incidents that they had nothing to do with. And it takes one generally liked character and turns them into a despicable one. If this had been the usual 11 minute episode, I don't think it would've gotten as much hate. There were some jokes though that were good but they weren't enough to save this episode. Having to sit through 22 minutes of the Eds being unfairly agonized until the very end makes this the worst episode of the show.
