Tired of Ed putting up with Sarah, especially after she ruins his swami fortuneteller scam, Eddy convinces Ed to move out of his house and puts him up at Rolf's place. Rolf enjoys his new boarder at first, but only when it's too late does he realize that guests, like fish, start to smell after 3 days.

* AnAesop: Being a good host is one thing, but when the guest is taking advantage of you, you have to put your foot down.
* BattleStrip: Rolf rips off his shirt in anger right before he attacks the Eds in his shed.
* BigEater: The Eds clean out Rolf's fridge for dinner, and they don't even bother cleaning up the huge mess of dirty plates they made from eating.
* BookEnds: The episode begins with Eddy imitating a swami as part of a scam, and ends with Rolf in the swami role while commanding the Eds to do his work. Also, Eddy convinced Ed to move out so he wouldn't have to be bossed around by Sarah anymore, but now all three Eds have to take orders from Rolf, only this time it's well deserved.
* ButtMonkey: Rolf, considering the Eds deprive him of all his food and privacy and even do some damage to his house.
* CallBack: Eddy takes another shot at making omelets after "Who, What, Where, Ed?" This time, he manages to get the egg ''into'' the pan, but nearly burns down Rolf's kitchen as a result.
* CaptainOblivious: Rolf fails to hear or notice the Eds eating all his food in the kitchen.
* CaptainObvious: A lot of Rolf's complaints about the Eds squatting at his place are quite understated, such as "A burden has been placed on Rolf" and "Ed-boys try me at every turn!"
* CheesyMoon: Rolf remarks "The moon resembles half-eaten cheese".
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Rolf appears in his tipped over shed, clearly ''seething'' with rage, Double D is the only one who seems to recognize this, and asks in a frightened tone if Rolf is okay and has a massive OhCrap face when Rolf attacks them.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** This was one of the many early episodes that portrayed Double D as being every bit as jerkish as Eddy and Ed have the potential to be--he joins them in taking blatant advantage of Rolf's hospitality, messes with Rolf's stuff just for the sake of his science experiments (though unlike Eddy and Ed, he at least has the decency to apologize for that one, although ''very'' passively), assists Eddy and Ed in stealing Rolf's food, allows Eddy to more or less lock Rolf out of his own bedroom just so that [[ItsAllAboutMe they have a place to sleep]] and has fun tipping the shed with Ed and Eddy.
** Another example of this is Eddy being a {{Nice Guy}} and helping Ed move out and get away from his bossy sister without any self-serving motives. While Eddy was pissed that Sarah ruined his scam, it's worth noting that he doesn't confront Ed about this until he sees the overly long list of chores Sarah gives him.
* HitFlash: Occurs when Rolf ambushes the Eds in the shed near the end.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Edd (Double D) thinks Rolf will appreciate being offered grapefruit and the newspaper for breakfast ''in spite of'' him, Ed and Eddy having eaten all his food in his fridge and leaving him with nothing to eat for dinner last night.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Eddy was a complete ass to Rolf in this episode (although this point is downplayed when you consider Ed and Double D were just as bad) you gotta give him props for attempting to help Ed get away from his abusive tyrant of a sister with no ulterior motives at all.

* LethalChef: Eddy when making omelettes thinks his eggs are still going to taste wonderful even though he burnt them badly and made the smoke alarms go off.
* LoopholeAbuse: Tired of the Eds' interference with his work, Rolf tells them never to leave his shed. The Eds respond by carrying the shed from the inside into Rolf's house to raid his fridge. But then Ed's snoring scares away Edd and Eddy into seizing Rolf's room and sleeping in his own bed while stranding him without a place to sleep.
