Hammer & Fail (Part 1, Rival Builders)

Hammer & Fail (Part 1, Rival Builders) is an Eddsworld animation created by Edd Gould. It was released on September 10th, 2010. It is the first time an Eddisode was released in parts. It was also based on a feud between the three main characters and their neighboring counterparts.
== Synopsis ==
The gang tries to build a second floor due to Matt's trash taking up too much space while their neighbors antagonize them.
==Plot==
Edd and Tom are eating breakfast, until Matt comes in with a strange mix of objects that he sees as an antique, Edd gets confused and Tom calls it junk, eventually Edd tells him to put it in his room with all his trash. Matt angrily goes to his room where he keeps all of his possessions to put his new "trash" while insulting Edd and Tom, after he opens the door he finds it filled with rubbish which ends up crushing him. Edd says that they need more space in the house. Tom suggests that the only way they can have enough room is to have a second floor. Edd considers hiring workers to build it but Tom and Matt already put on their builders' uniforms. Edd tells them it's a bad idea because they've never built anything but Matt swings his hammer off-screen, destroying a wall.
While outside they realize the the only thing they're missing is nails so they send Matt to buy some. Meanwhile, the new neighbors Eduardo, Jon, and Mark show up to make fun of their neighbors, Eduardo asks Edd what he's doing and Edd tells him that he's building an extension to his house but the neighbors tell him that they had already built one last week, showing him a tall mansion with the letters "AWESOME" and a fountain, shocking Edd. Mark says that it probably inspired them to build a second floor, but before Edd can respond Eduardo tells him that they've got better things to do. Tom asks what they want and Edd tells him that they've making fun of them since they moved in, Edd has a flashback of when he first saw Eduardo, in the flashback Edd accidentally gets an order of Diet Coke while Eduardo accidentally gets an order of regular Coke, after realizing the mistake Eduardo looks angrily at Edd, after the flashback ends Edd tries to keep explaining but Tom crashes his drill with something.
Matt is at the store after Edd sent him there, he forgets what he had to buy and instead he gets a fake memory where Edd tells him that he must buy everything that isn't nails, Edd and Tom then praise Matt while a parade shows up in the background and Matt starts shopping. Later, Matt finally arrives but he didn't get the nails and instead bought a bunch of junk, Edd asks him why where the nails are but he lies and tells him that they had ran out of them. Edd is disappointed but decides to start building with what they have, Tom asks him what's next on the list and Edd says "Obligatory Building Montage."
The building montage begins, Edd keeps on missing the screw on the roof so he destroys the roof, Matt gets sucked into a cement mixer, Tom drills a hole through the wall, Edd writes "Edd is Awesome" with cement, Edd and Tom accidentally cut Matt with a saw, Matt's clothes get sucked up and shredded and Edd keeps hitting Tom with his hammer. After the montage ends Edd proudly says that it's finished while Tom looks at it embarassedly. The second floor ends up looking horribly, with planks, TVs, books and other items randomly thrown together, Matt, who's inside, praises it and says that it's the greatest thing ever created. The neighbors show up and begin making fun of them. Edd eventually has enough and orders an insta-roof that ends up arriving in just five seconds. Edd and Tom walk upstairs only to find Matt crushed by the floor with his head barely out. With their new attic, Edd and Tom agree to move him and all of his stuff in there.
At night, Matt about to go to sleep in his new room filled with junk, however right as he's about to go to bed he hears a strange sound, a creature approaches him and then laches into him while he screams. Tom, who's trying to sleep, complains about the screaming, saying that he thought stuff like that would end after he left his parents' house.
==Trivia/References==
===Firsts===
*Hammer & Fail marks the first time in which an Eddsworld episode has been split into two parts (the others being Space Face, The End and Surf & Turf Wars). The Zombeh Attack series doesn't count since it was a series of sequels to the previous episode.
*This is also the first episode to be co-written by someone outside the Eddsworld group: Tom Bown.
*This is the first and only episode in which the street that Edd and the guys live on is ever mentioned. Later, the address and house number is referenced in Fun Dead.
*This episode marks the first appearance of the Massive Tool Center, which would later reappear in The Snogre.
===Other Milestones===
*This is Matt's grandma's second appearance (this time at a picture) since the Xmas Day short. It was most likely put there because Matt didn't want to forget his Grandma again.
*The Eddsworld Cereal box reappears from Ruined and Spares, along with a red car from WTFuture in parking lot of the Massive Tool Center.
*This is the third episode to feature Tom's bedroom, the other two being WTFuture and Ruined.
===Visuals===
*During the opening titles, Edd sings (on every tone), "This-is-the-o-pe-ning-tune."
*During the breakfast scene, the magnets on the fridge read "Buy more Cola".
*Ammongst the junk in Matt's room is a diary, an inflatable banana, models of Big Ben, a traffic cone, some burgers, a broken vase, a giant LEGO brick, a toy elephant, a skull, a Mr. Potato Head toy, and a Tomee Bear.
* The cassette that falls near Edd's feet says "Matt on Matt Anthems." This is possibly a reference to Matt's home video, "Matt on Matt Action", from MovieMakers.
* Despite Tom's hair Steve being unable to be pushed down when wearing a helmet in Moving Targets, it is able to here.
* Before and during construction, Edd runs off screen to stop his friend from using the tools improperly, followed by a crash and debris falling, before the next scene shifts.
* On the side of the Massive Tool Center there is a WANTED poster of Future Edd.
* Edd's to-do list consists of needing to "draw blueprints, start layering bricks, checking the level of bricks, trying to fix the bricks, crying about the bricks, reading a magazine, sneezing, writing a five-page essay, eating a biscuit, being disappointed with Matt, having an obligatory building montage, installing Windows, running Windows, letting out a long yawn, and kill N.C.".
* Paul is seen as a picture inside the house when Tom drills a hole in the wall.
* Matt's underwear has "I <3 m@" (which stands for "I heart Matt") written on it.
* The Yellow Pages book Edd uses to call the Insta-Roof service is called 'Mellow Pages'.
* Matt's bed pillow has nails in it, which implies that he did indeed buy nails at some point while shopping at the Massive Tool Center.
* Tom has a checkerboard tie and an asdf poster in his bedroom.
===References===
*The title is a pun on the term "Hammer and Nail".
*When Matt is walking to his room to store his "antique", he mumbles something about being the ruler of everything, a reference to WTFuture. This confirms WTFuture's ending is canon.
*There is a sniper rifle with two bullets out of it on the roof of the Massive Tool Center which could have been from the comic "Money" where Edd "takes out" some money.
*In the scene where Edd chases Tom with a sledgehammer during the obligatory building montage, Tom's animation is a parody of the viral video Brodyquest by Lemon Demon.
