I’m quite surprised the scene involving Double D’s now unnamed device has yet to see a mention here. How AKA managed to slip something that incredibly blatant past the radar is a feat in itself. So extract some bovine product from the desecrated sac of sustenance and raise a glass to whoever decided on writing that joke in.
Regarding the overall ambiguity of much of the shows content, including the mystery of what’s under the sock and the scam-gone-awry, I wasn’t too bothered that we were left in the dark. Especially regarding the latter. Even with the red herring promise, after so many years of hype and speculation, it’s difficult to imagine anything concocted being able to live up to people’s expectations. Besides that, it’s more fun to guess anyway. It’s nice that the writer’s generally don’t let things like that get in the way and just have a blast writing the character’s personalities.
In any case, it was more fun than watching the curd rise from the cheese of grandfather’s vats, and there was a slew of memorable moments throughout.
For those of you who have been turning the dial to ’volt’ since day one, there was a ton of continuity to salivate over. Ed’s electrocution in particular is sure to raise a smile or two.
The chase scene at the beginning of the film was quite possibly the most epic thing in EEnE history, and it definitely rates as one of my favourite parts.
Eddy frantically steering his bro’s prize auto like a madman, despite the fact that Ed was the one dictating it’s direction with his fancy footwork (and the inevitable crashing in to a gaint boulder in a barren wasteland)? Classic.
Double D claiming ‘I think I’m gonna be sick’ never gets old no matter how many times you hear it, and the fact that he actually was only adds to the hilarity. Yeah, yeah, it’s happened before after a couple of bathtub rings, but come on. Funny is funny.
I was a little disappointed that the Kankers weren’t the ones to ‘save the day’, as it were, and I felt Ed’s importance was a little downplayed during the finale, but regardless, the ending was more than satisfactory. When all is said and done, I’m sure many a fan will be left wanting to give the Ed Boys a victory arm pit rub.
Regardless, I found myself having to shed a tear for a certain Melonhead. Ahh well. At the end of the day, I’m sure it’s nothing a little nylon rope won’t fix.
