Tinker Ed (Ed, Edd n Eddy)

"Tinker Ed" is the 14th episode of Season 5 and the 116th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Jimmy's love for fairy tales is shattered thanks to one of Eddy's scams. Under Sarah's threat of being turned into dog meat, it's up to the Eds to help Jimmy love fairy tales again.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) This episode insults fairy tales, and it can also corrupt children's beliefs in them.
 * 2) Much like If It Smells Like An Ed, this episode makes characters very unlikable, and also became yet another undeserved torture scenario for the Eds, which was poorly executed and completely uncalled for, further summarizing the many problems the last two seasons of the show had in general.
 * 3) This episode does a poor job of trying to make the viewer feel sorry for Jimmy because Kevin tells him that fairy tales aren't real in the beginning of the episode. But maybe if Jimmy hadn't been running around the library (a place where you're supposed to be quiet) and shrieking at the top of his lungs when Kevin was minding his own business and trying to study, maybe Kevin wouldn't have messed with him in the first place. What makes it worse is that Kevin had already politely asked Jimmy and Sarah to tone it down because he had an important essay to write, only for Sarah to begin to loudly read the fairy tale book just to further irritate Kevin.
 * 4) Kevin was hypocritical in this episode as well, despite being rightfully justified in the beginning. He said earlier that he doesn't believe in fairy tales earlier, but later helps Jimmy and Sarah in their "Fairy Tales are real Scam" in order for them to get revenge on the Eds.
 * 5) The infamous and hard-to-watch scene where Sarah (while confronting the Eds for ruining Jimmy's love for fairy tales with Eddy's scam) batters Eddy by violently punching him, sending him flying into a nearby garbage dump, then repeatedly slams him all the way back and fourth between the dump and Ed's back, before tripping Ed over to fall on Eddy after she thundered and hollered at Double D and all the while she threatened to turn the Ed's into dog meat by removing their will to live so they get the consequences if they don't make things right for Jimmy letting Kevin get off the hook for what he started. What did you expect from a character like Sarah?
 * 6) Horrible ending: In order to retrieve his quarter Jimmy gets Eddy screwed with a golden horseshoe which was really a golden polished retainer and it was also considered that he was never depressed and also made Sarah take a photo of the Eds dressed up as fairy tale characters and toss the camera over to Kevin to show everybody.
 * 7) Sarah and Jimmy's flanderization is noticeably shown in this episode:
 * 8) * Sarah's (MOST HEAVILY, with her being the short tempered, violent, vicious, controlling, and mean-spirited bully she's been flanderized into) beats up the Eds(mainly Eddy) and THREATENED to turn them into dog meat and to also remove their will to live(as already mentioned in WIS#5) only if they didn't make Jimmy believe in fairy tales again.
 * 9) * Jimmy, when he acts like such a whiny crybaby(which again is understandable when his beliefs get crushed, but is still annoying and hard to watch which makes SpongeBob's crying in comparison seem delightful!), and of course like any other episode of this Season gets pampered to almost no end by Sarah and later plots a revenge scheme against the Eds with her. (Which exactly he does just like in "If it Smells like an Ed")
 * 10) This episode basically shows how much of a Karma Houdini Sarah and Jimmy are. And Kevin to an extent
 * 11) There was a deleted scene that was going to be at the very end of the episode that had no reason to be deleted at all (read Trivia).
 * 12) Like "Ed In A Halfshell" this episode made Jimmy another tattletale for the last time.
 * 13) As mentioned in WIS#5 Sarah not only threatened to turn the Eds into dog meat, she also threatened to murder the Eds by removing their will to live. Which of course is the main reason this episode gets BANNED if it was aired again on BOOMERANG.
 * 14) This whole episode wouldn't have happened or could've been avoided if either both Sarah and Jimmy would have listened to Kevin by being quiet like he simply had asked them to in the first place or if Jimmy wouldn't have been running around the library screaming at the top of his lungs in a place where you're supposed to be quiet!
 * 15) It even has a bad moral. In order for fairy tales to be proven they are real. Is by blackmail, especially when Sarah took a humiliating picture of the Eds (As mentioned in WIS#6) in order to please Jimmy instead of confronting Kevin by blaming the Eds for nothing.
 * 16) Like the episode "Your Ed Here" Kevin gets off the hook for what he did twice and got himself even further off the hook in "Smile For The Ed".
 * 17) In fact this episode can trigger more Teen Titans GO by giving Cartoon Network a death penalty to their own cartoons if this episode never got BANNED.
 * 18) Rolf, Nazz and Jonny 2X4 serve no purpose to the entire episode but filler.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The Eds are likable and at least were trying to do something nice for Jimmy, despite Eddy only doing so just to scam him.
 * 2) To be fair, anyone would feel sad and angry if their love for something was crushed, so Jimmy's situation was at least relatable.
 * 3) The load of bologna gag is pure genius.

Trivia

 * There is a deleted scene for this episode where after Rolf engulfs his entire collection of bologna, he hallucinates that Nazz is a mermaid, Jonny is a gingerbread man and Plank is a fairy.
