* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: You'd think the kids would refuse to listen to Eddy when he tries to convince them to break the rules, especially during the fact that they were against it in the beginning and just decided to roll with it just like that without even thinking of the imminent consequences they're facing if they went along with Eddy's plan. What's more is that the kids despise the Eds, so this just makes them listening to Eddy's words come off as incredibly idiotic.

After another scam attempt gone wrong, Double D and Eddy end up in an argument over following a 'keep off grass' rule sign, which eventually snowballs into Eddy convincing all the kids that rules don't matter and to do whatever they want, quickly descending the Cul-de-Sac into complete anarchy.

!! This episode contains the following tropes:
* AnarchyIsChaos: Once Eddy convinces the kids that rules are for losers, the Cul-de-Sac starts descending into chaos shortly after, with Jimmy and Sarah setting up giant ice-cream hills, Kevin destroying others property and Jonny even ends up ''running around naked''.
* AnAesop: Rules exist for a reason and whether you like them or not, breaking them will have consequences.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ed accidentally dropping Double D's ant farm causes the latter to outright ''strangle'' him with his legs. Even Eddy looked legitimately scared.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Double D eventually manages to restore order to the Cul-de-Sac by calling all the kids parents, but it's only afterwards did he realize that the kids likely weren't gonna take kindly to that. He could have also just waited until everyone’s parents got home instead of announcing that he snitched on them, which could’ve saved his skin.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Eddy attempts to keep the other kids from attacking Double D, even though the latter just called all their parents, including Eddy's. In later seasons Eddy would have boasted about "sockhead getting what was coming to him" and taken pleasure in Double D's violent fate if he would've done that.
* HonorBeforeReason: While Double D calling the kids' parents to inform them of their behavior seemed like the right thing to do to prevent the anarchy around the cul-de-sac, it wasn't the wisest choice for him to ''tell'' them about it out loud.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: You'd think the kids would refuse to listen to Eddy when he tries to convince them to break the rules, especially during the fact that they were against it in the beginning and just decided to roll with it just like that without even thinking of the imminent consequences they're facing if they went along with Eddy's plan. What's more is that the kids despise the Eds, so this just makes them listening to Eddy's words come off as incredibly idiotic.
* LawfulStupid: Double D doesn't seem to realize that actually ''telling'' the kids that he called their parents instead of just simply keeping silent about it wasn't the brightest decision he has made. It wouldn't have ended so badly for him (or the other two Eds for that matter) if he had just simply remained anonymous.
* LoopholeAbuse: Ed manages to get around the keep off grass rule altogether by going ''under'' the grass.
--> '''Double D''': Well, technically he's not ''on'' the grass...
* NeverMyFault: The kids deal out punishment towards Double D along with the other two Eds for calling their parents, despite the fact that it was their fault they broke all those rules and were gonna face the consequences when their parents get home anyway. This doesn't even mention the fact that they were dumb enough to listen to Eddy despite knowing just how deceitful he can be.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Double D phoning the kid's parents about their rule-breaking results in him receiving the same punishment the kids give out to the other two Eds. [[LampshadeHanging He even admits, in hindsight, having gone mad from the chaos of the Cul-de-Sac may have clouded his judgment on that call.]]
* TheUnReveal: Double D's hat gets pulled off in this episode, and we don't get to see what's under it. Given [[GoryDiscretionShot all the Eds reaction to it though]], apparently, it ain't pretty.
