* PictureDay: The episode takes place on the day Peach Creek Elementary has the class photos taken. Eddy makes himself look nice because his mother promised to let him move into his brother's room if he took a nice picture. But when Eddy's time comes, Kevin calls him a dork just as the picture is taken, resulting in him taking a bad photo. The rest of the episode deals with Eddy's attempts to hide all copies of the photo and have Edd retake the photo (only for Kevin to ruin it again).

'''Release Date:''' April 13, 2007

Eddy tries to get a good school picture, so he'll inherent his brother's room. However, Kevin insults him, resulting in an ugly picture. Soon, copies are shown to everyone, resulting in everyone laughing at him.

!!Tropes from this episode include:

* AdultsAreUseless: Despite the kids harassing Eddy in the cafeteria, none of the adult staff do anything to stop it. In fact, they only punish ''Eddy'' for apparently impersonating the principal (which was really Edd's doing).
* BittersweetEnding: Eddy is about to get another picture taken by Edd. However, [[{{Jerkass}} Kevin]] butts in and puts Eddy's ugly picture in front of the camera, thus ruining his chance to get a better picture. Then the copy machine explodes, Eddy gets in trouble for ''Edd's'' wrongdoing (impersonating the principal), and now just has to use a ''simple drawing'' to show to his mother. However, Eddy is satisfied and hopeful even with that drawing and seeing Eddy happy at the end of an episode is pretty rare.
* ButtMonkey: Eddy throughout the episode at his worst.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Eds never considered locking the door to stop Kevin from ruining Eddy's retake photo. [[note]] To be fair, with how [[RefugeInAudacity superhumanly strong]] the kids are shown to be in this show, locking the door would've been useless at ''[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption best]]''. [[/note]]
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Eddy is given detention by the school for allegedly impersonating the principal.
* FictionIsntFair: The kids should have been suspended from school or sent to detention for what they did to Eddy ([[SelectiveEnforcement who gets punished instead]]).
* {{Jerkass}}:
** Kevin not only deliberately ruins Eddy's photo shoot, but he has the other kids tease him into a nervous breakdown. If that wasn't enough, he then ruins Eddy's ''retake'' photo.
** The school staff also count. They not only do nothing to stop the kids from tormenting Eddy into a nervous breakdown, but they ''punish'' Eddy over something he didn't do.
* JerkassBall: When Edd finds out that Eddy has two weeks detention because the school staff thought he impersonated the principal (it was actually the former who did), he backpedals and lets Eddy take the fall for it.
* KarmaHoudini: Kevin and the other kids never recieve any form of punishment for tormenting Eddy [[AdultsAreUseless despite committing it on school grounds]].
* KickTheDog: Kevin having other kids harass Eddy in the show is one of the nastiest stunts he's ever pulled.
* KidsAreCruel: The Cul-De-Sac kids are at their worst here, ridiculing Eddy in the cafeteria to the point where the latter has a breakdown.
* MisplacedRetribution: Eddy gets detention for impersonating the principal, which was something that ''Edd'' did.
* RuleOfFunny: You'd think that Kevin insulting Eddy during the latter's photo shoot would prompt Eddy to glare angry, not look like he's going to throw up.
* SelectiveEnforcement: None of the school staff stop the kids from harassing Eddy, yet they are quick to punish Eddy when they mistakenly believe he impersonated the principal.
* SkewedPriorities: The staff members seem to be more concerned over somebody impersonating the principal than their students tormenting a classmate into a nervous breakdown.
* StopHittingYourself: Played with; when all the kids are wearing a copy of the photo as masks in the cafeteria, Lee wears one too, drags Eddy under a table, and continuously kisses him while keeping him pinned. Each time she kisses him, she pauses just to say "stop kissing yourself" before kissing him though her makeshift mask again.
* TakeThatKiss: Lee does this to Eddy while wearing one of his embarrassing photos as a "mask" to make him "kiss himself".
-->'''Lee:''' Muaah! Stop kissing yourself. Muaah! Stop kissing yourself. Muaah! Stop kissing yourself. Muaah! Stop kissing yourself. Muaah! Stop kissing yourself.
* ThrowTheDogABone: The ending for Eddy. He likes Ed's drawing of him and happily claims that it will work for a school photo. It's unknown if his mom will like that, but at least it gives Eddy hope again.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Double D lets Eddy take the blame for his actions, nor does he confess or apologize.
