Sir Ed-a-Lot:
I keep wondering where the character of Sarah came from. She's a spoiled brat of a child who only seemed to exist to cause misery for the Eds and almost never got her comeuppance. In fact, this episode was one of the very few times the Eds ever come on top after dealing with Sarah.
This episode showed one of the worst parts of babysitting, trying to please the kid enough so they don't lie to their parents about you, but the Eds could only take so much before they decided it was time to give Sarah a taste of her own medicine when she and Jimmy started to run amok.
The slapstick in this episode was great, and set the bar for how much of it the Eds could do in one sitting.
A Pinch to Grow an Ed:
Eddy was dragged through the gutter for the majority of this episode, both with his own frustration of being short and everyone else in the neighborhood teasing him for it. Yes, even Ed and Edd were teasing him a bit before seeing how it really hurt him.
It got better when the Eds tried to help Eddy get taller, leading to the latest in Double-D-Tech with the Walking Braces which Eddy used to get revenge on the kids. But then the Kanker Sisters, who teased Eddy the most in this episode, showed up again, easily take control of the Walking Braces, and destroyed them with little difficulty because they're Diabolus Ex Machina.
Eddy's insecurity was never really resolved, and the episode just ended with him being humiliated again. It would've been much funnier if Eddy was the one who broke the Walking Braces by using it too much. Not only would it be funnier, but it would also play into one of Eddy's biggest flaws: his arrogance, which tends to get the better of him.
