comment
Read the Fine Print: Ed mindlessly signs a ridiculously thick contract presented to him by record label executives (who assure him that it's a standard contract), despite Lapeno warning him that he should actually read it first. Of course this later bites him in the back.

Brown Note: During the first performance by Ed's metal band Stinkhole, a smack in the head causes Mervin to accidentally discover this note on the keyboard, causing the entire audience to defecate themselves. Of course, Ed being Ed, he refuses to acknowledge this as Mervin's achievement. The studio recording of said brown note takes its effects up to eleven by actually killing whoever listens to it.
