Talk:List of Ed, Edd n Eddy characters

RULES (READ NEW USERS!)

(The following was posted by DietLimeCola and pretty well sums it up.}

Please read this before editing the page.

It seems people are having trouble finding where the rules actually are on this page, but I'll make it easier. Heres a full list of the rules for this page.

1. One episode rule. If it was mentioned in only one single episode, it doesn't belong here. There are many trivial facts about each and every character (which I believe is actually canon), but the page would be a big mess, therefore these one time facts aren't worth mentioning. Although, there can be exceptions to this rule. First of all, one part mentions a single episode which reveals Jimmy's teeth being destroyed by a bowling pin disguised as a cream horn. This should stay because it gives people the answer to "why" he has the retainer (which was a popular question before it was revealed). Stuff like "Nazz is fat" should not be put in because it was never assumed in the first place she was fat in the past. Another is Eddy's Brother's history with the kids. This explains his relationships with the other kids.
2. Parents, characters alter-egos, and other kids shall not be added. They do not have a dense personality like the kids, and never appear. I realize one episode Ed's mom or aunt, and Eddy's dad pulls them off screen, but this refers back to the one episode rule. Their parents are not characters, like I stated above, they have little to no personality, and were just there to finish off the plot. Same goes with the Lemon Brook Lumpers, the school nurse, and other one shots. alter-egos should not be added either because it once again, breaks the one episode rule.
3. Double D's hat. It is a mystery of whats under there, and the videogame "lunchroom rumble" is not canon, because it wasn't made by AKA Cartoon. This goes for fanfics too, fanfics are not canon.
4. Rolf's country has no name, and shall remain that way. This country is a fictional country made by Danny. He chose Rolf to be from a fictional country so he could make up several foreign ways to make the stories, plots, and his overall character more interesting. If he was from a specific real country, there would be a limit to what Rolf could do.
5. Superhuman strength. All characters can possess unrealalistic strength at anytime to keep the story going along, it's used in many, many old cartoons.
6. Jimmy is not a homosexual. He looks up to Sarah as an older sister, and tends to imitate her because he wants to be just like her. More evidence that supports this is "Ed in a halfshell", where Sarah leaves Jimmy with the Ed's. Jimmy for a short time, looks up to Ed and Eddy, therefore he begins acting similar to them. This comment about Jimmy looking up to people should not be added to the page, but it proves that Jimmy is not a homosexual. That's all I can think of right now, if anyone wants to add anything I missed or forgot, feel free. DietLimeCola 02:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
7. Grades and other school records should not be added. While it is highly likely what was revieled in the report card episode is true, (i.e. Ed and Eddy's Fs, Rolf's D in typing) this breaks the one-episode rule, and should not be added. Wack'd About Wiki 19:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Double D is bald

Why dosent i say that on this article in the third to last episode we saw that Double D is bald by the hat being somewhat used as a a hot air balloon the head was revealed compleatly bald although you can only be very, very, very, very eye sitage such as me with glasses to see the split second that double d shows baldness the rest of the time his eyes cover up his bald head so i if the page is not protected am i going to add that —Preceding unsigned comment added by Godzillastar (talk • contribs) 23:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Speculation, he can have short hair. We don't know 100%, so don't put guesses. DietLimeCola 03:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

a compramise maybe? how a bout we put this... "double d was revealed to be ABSOULUTLY BALD usually shaves or very short hair" how bout that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Godzillastar (talk • contribs) 22:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Funny that you are the only person who has seen this. Until something definite is revealed, this has no business in this article. Also, please sign your comments with 4 tildes. -- Elaich ^talk 02:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Try viewing it frame by frame?--118.92.58.121 (talk) 10:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I've done that with my DVR and i haven't seen any sign of a bald head.--Jspyster1 (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so speculation about what's under Edd's hat doesn't belong in the article. Fair enough. Edd has never been seen without his head covered up by something, which I think we can all agree. However, as someone who generally watches entire series' in long several-episode sittings (I have a LOT of spare time and I happen to like cartoons), I can say with confidence that EDD DOES NOT always wear the black stocking cap. He has, on occasion, worn other types of hats, and has done so in more than one episode (a red baseball cap once, hard hats on occasion).Vanessaezekowitz (talk) 02:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Le sigh, I don't know what it is about these fanatics, they always are dead sure they're right even when they just might not be and anyone who disagrees is clearly some kind of heretic. Anyway, is this just explaining that Edd doesn't always wear his usual hat? Nothing signifigant, not disputed and barely relevant to if he's bald or not. Don't see why bother maintaining these EEnE articles given the sort who comment on the talkpages. treelo _radda 02:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Nobody Knows what lurks under his hat. Though It's Impossible for him to Be bald,I'll give details on this later. Solo28 _Solo28 06:05, 14 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.43.154 (talk)

Revert, revert, revert

Today saw outright vandalism from one IP, and then another one did massive rewrites. A few people tried to clean up the mess, but left some stuff that needed to go. In this case, it is always best to revert to the last known good version. This insures that things won't be overlooked. Simply find the last good known version in history, open it, choose to edit that page, and comment it as a revert. -- Elaich ^talk 03:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

-sigh- this kind of crap is STILL going on? DietLimeCola 01:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back! It's not as bad as it used to be. Both pages have been protected and semi-protected off and on, and with no new episodes, interest in the show seems to be down. It's actually gotten kind of boring. :-) -- Elaich ^talk 06:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hah! Well I guess it's because the series is over (except the movie, and unless they actually renew it for that "6th season"). It's also slowly fading off of Cartoon Network's schedule (last time I checked, the only time it aired was on weekdays at 7:00 AM, where as in 2004, it aired about 3 times a day).

It may be fading off quicker than you think. Over the last week I've noticed that, instead of airing Ed, Edd, n Eddy in the 7am slot, they're airing Ben 10 and other such shows. Darn it, CN!! — Cinemaniac (talk) 00:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Glad to be back too, I got fed up with editing last time because of the arguments I was having with members on the other pages. It was annoying getting into arguments with new users over them adding cruft, and ignoring my explanations on to read WP:Cruft. I just felt it wasn't worth it fighting to have a page fixed if some people were just going to edit it again and argue with me some more, creating a never ending cycle. Although a few days ago, I read that god-awful cruft infested Billy and Mandy characters page, and decided to polish it up. Later, I decided to stay around when I read the comments on my talk page about how I was "missed" (haha). Glad to be back. DietLimeCola 12:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Images

This is annoying, what will it take to keep these images from being deleted. We've all provided the copyright information, stating its property of cartoon network, and done everything, yet these bots keep deleting them without a full explanation why. Any ideas, because this is getting really annoying. DietLimeCola 03:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, the remaining images are gone. After having read the policy, I cannot see why these images don't fall under fair use, but apparently they don't. -- Elaich ^talk 14:47, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Plank or as rolf says the wood

PLANK IS A CHARACTER! proof- he always seems to have some effect on the episode and even the entire series for instanse johhny never figured out eddy was a scammer in the christmas special until plank told him... he was proven to be an alien invader in the eds are coming YES IT COUNTS AS A CANNON or canon which ever one beacuse its the begging of the sixth season and after may it was always presented as an actual episode know the way to prove all of this is that at the end of the invaded billy and mandy plank, pudding, the platypus guy from my gym partneers a monkey, and the walrus and his gang from camp lazlo are undercover aliens... i rest my case... man that was a mouthfull —Preceding unsigned comment added by Godzillastar (talk • contribs) 17:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Even if it does count as canon, that ending only proves that they were aliens, it does not prove if the episodes were canon. - 75.34.99.141 (talk) 04:19, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is not canon to this show, period. Anything regarding the Ed's that is not an actual Ed, Edd 'n Eddy episode (such as Alien invasion ending for "Billy and Mandy Moon the Moon", Ed's cameo in Fosters and the Ed's appearance in The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door.) is not canon, unless referenced in an actual Ed, Edd 'n Eddy episode, in which it's never happened. Also, as I've said before, Plank is real IN JONNY's messed up mind. So during that Christmas thing, perhaps Jonny believed Plank was talking to him, but he really wasn't obviously. Wouldn't we hear, you know, voices, instead of Jonny listening to silence? DietLimeCola (talk) 17:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

To reiterate DLC's comments, (and as I've also said before) Jonny uses Plank to fuel his erratic behavior patterns. Plank is imaginary. He has never moved on screen unless he was launched or catapulted. He does not speak to, or otherwise affect any other character. -- Elaich ^talk 18:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

To be a character in Ed, Edd n Eddy, one must: 1.Show themselves fully in the show, no parents or Eddy's older brother, no invisible imaginary friends, no ghosts! 2.Be alive with proof! Plank is alive! Jimmy's Mr. Yum Yum isn't alive! 3.Not be an animal! Pigs and goats and chickens not allowed!

THAT MEANS THERE ARE 13 CHARACTERS. NO MORE, NO LESS!!!

 1.Ed
 2.Edd (Double D)
 3.Eddy
 4.Johnny
 5.Rolf
 6.Kevin
 7.Jimmy
 8.Sarah
 9.Naz
10.Plank, my best friend piece of wood (he's alive!!!)
11.Lee
12.Marie
13.May

FINISH!!!

Well, the community does not agree. Where is the proof that Plank is alive? Name ONE INSTANCE where he has been seen to move ON CAMERA, without being slung or catapulted. You can't, because it has never happened.

FINISH!!! -- Elaich ^talk 19:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Not to say that I think Plank should be counted as a character, but I can name one instance: "Dear Ed". During the party scene at about 9m30s in, as the kids move back and forth in the foreground, Plank can be seen in the background jumping from one seat to another with no apparent help (not even from Jonny, who is several feet away initially).Vanessaezekowitz (talk) 02:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Godzillastar, don't forget that inanimate objects do not count as characters! -- 75.63.2.10 (talk) 00:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Where did all of these technical rules come from defining what does and does not make someone a character for this show and putting only a few people in charge of how things need to be done? Even Cartoon Network considers Plank to a character, so why isn't he/it considered one here? (Ed, Edd n Eddy | Cartoon Network -- Let page load then click on "Characters" and scroll. He has his own section.) He does not have to be alive to be a "character". ("Wilson the Volleyball" in the movie Cast Away is considered to be a character by many without being alive because of the type of "role" that it played. It isn't credited in the film but is credited on IMDB nonetheless.) Sure, Plank is inanimate, but you also don't usually give inanimate objects personal names, have characters talking to them on a regular basis, or focusing the camera on them and then responding as if the object said something. — CobraWiki ^{( jabber | stuff )} 18:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Not "Fair Use"?

Why are there no images of the characters on the page? I think providing identification would be enough for fair use, wouldn't it? — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 17:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

There were. Bots deleted every one. Read up this page to see the deletion messages. -- Elaich ^talk 02:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

That's odd. I don't see how these pictures wouldn't qualify as "fair use". . . Oh well. . . — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 01:55, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, good to see pics of the Eds on this page! Now, if only we could work on those citations. . . — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 04:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Do not trust your Watchlist

I did, and then discovered that it only shows me the LAST edit made. Beneath that edit were about a dozen vandalisms and fancruft additions. I completely missed those, because i trusted the watchlist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elaich (talk • contribs) 06:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I know whatcha mean; after deleting several vandalizing edits from a certain IP, I found out that were many, many more vandalizing additions done before those. It's okay, though; you and I had a few devoted others helping us on this page. Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 16:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Voice Actors?

Usually pages like this have a sentence at the end of the paragraph that goes like: "Jimmy was voiced by Keenan Christansen". Shouldn't this page have that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.123.203.93 (talk) 07:04, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

• The voice actors are listed on the main page. -- Elaich ^talk 14:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Do these voice actors have pages? For some of them, whenever I click on a name it redirects me back to the main page. What's up? Mokoniki (talk) 02:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Mokoniki

Wikia

I cleaned up the mess over on Wikia simply by cutting and pasting our own character profiles there. If you've ever read that mess over there, you've seen what this page would become if not diligently watched over. In fact, it used to be that way. I know that the purpose of Wikia is different from that of Wikipedia, but at least there is now a good base of information to build on. -- Elaich ^talk 19:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, have you seen what those articles were rated? Most are 4 or 5 stars, pathetic. DietLimeCola (talk) 05:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey now, I'm doing my best to clean up the ED Wikia. User:Jspyster1 (talk) 20:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Let's try this again...

That's right, the image thing. I provided all the information it needs to know, and I only uploaded one picture to test. Why 1? Because I don't want the bot to mercilessly delete 10 images I've uploaded, which would equal in lots of wasted time. If it stays up in a few days without the bot complaining "OMG COPYRIGHT CARTOON NETWORK WILL SUE US FOR USING A FAIR USE PICTURE DELETE DELETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111", then I'll upload the rest. DietLimeCola (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

One simple word (sometimes) explains that: list. Fairly obscure part of policy forbids non-free image use in lists though I do think sometimes it stretches to free use images also. Found your obscure chunk in a talk archive when this happened some time back. The part of policy deciding this is WP:NFC#8 which does prohibit lists using NFC as it adds nothing to the list which couldn't have been in the main article. --treelo _talk 07:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Another argument for merging the list of characters into the main article. -- Elaich ^talk 17:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Because you can't use images? That's a pretty weak reasoning. --treelo _talk 19:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

They serve a purpose, they're supposed to show the reader what the characters look like. DietLimeCola (talk) 20:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Or act as decoration, depends where you come from and/or your stance on non-free images. I'm not certain but if you did merge this list into the main article, would it look cluttered in an attempt to make sure every character gets an image or odd like the image of Nazz does now sitting out there alone. I'd like to see images over verbose descriptions but how do you do it without it looking botched because the writeup for the character is shorter than the image? I'd say aim for group shots over single character images, actually ends up being illustrative of the characters, works for flow as it can be put almost anywhere and also passes the issue with it actually illustrating a point. I'd go for merging if you can cut the length as it's fairly certain to be spun back out to a list again as it's pretty close to the same length as the main article (12Kb to 17Kb). --treelo _talk 20:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Talking Sun

There was a talking sun in the invasion episode who said Good day to Jimmy. Anybody who we hear in Ed, Edd n Eddy that talks counts as a character. Talking Sun looked like Danny Antanocci. It's a very simple rule! Any character must be heard talking in front of our own ears!

"Recurring" means showing up more than once, and so this character would not be included on this list. GlassCobra 14:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Also this character is briefly seen in a dream sequence, not exactly noteworthy even if they do speak and the whole "it looks like Danny Antonucci" thing (it doesn't) is original research anyway. treelo _talk 14:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Talking Sun was the 13th voice I've heard in Ed, Edd n Eddy! The 13th voice. I wonder who voices him! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.244.222 (talk) 12:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

The sun was voiced by Lupo D. Butcher but I can't see how this is any bit signifigant. --treelo _talk 13:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

"Lupo D. Butcher" is an inside reference to one of Antonucci's first cartoons Lupo The Butcher. Correct that it is in no way notable for this article. -- Elaich ^talk 13:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

To differentiate his homophonic name from that of Ed, everyone in the series calls him Double-D.

When is it ever suggested that Edd is homophobic? Zeldafanjtl (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

It must just be vandalism. I'll correct it immediately. Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 17:37, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Heh heh...looks like someone already beat me to it.  :) For the record, that should be "homophonic", not "homophobic". That's common fodder for vandals that I've had to revert several times before. Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 17:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I dug back into history, and the article never said that. Either the person who started this misunderstood the reference, or was kidding around. -- Elaich ^talk 17:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it did, at least once, say something of that nature, but I think the last time I reverted such an edit was months ago. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 19:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Rolf's Chickens

Rolf had at least six chickens, not four. Because near the end the episode An Ed Is Born, the Eds steal one chicken for every kid in the cul-de-sac to use to move cardboard cutouts that resembled them. Joey368 (talk) 04:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Rolf's Origin

He's from Norway. As you can see it in the [episode] No Speak Da Ed --90.190.195.86 (talk) 11:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

No, he is NOT from Norway. -- Elaich ^talk 18:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Just because Rolf said he knew a person from Norway doesn't mean he is from Norway. I know a guy from Germany, but that doesn't mean I'm German.-- Jspyster1 (talk) 20:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps not, since Danny Antonucci described him as not being specific to any country, but I'm sure he had a specific country somewhere in the back of his mind, being the son of immigrants himself. Even as the writer/director, he can screw up on occasion. I think this episode was one such flub, and served to unintentionally give away Rolf's origin. Consider the following:

• We know Rolf is from somewhere in that general area of the world, as evidenced by his thick accent, slightly broken English, and off-the-wall customs.
• The figure who chased Rolf in his flashback is clearly a human being, having skin and human fingernails, and was wearing an outfit appropriate to the period and region, along with wooden clog shoes. The "wolf's head" was obviously a mask (and can be seen flipping into the air when Rolf attacks the figure).
• Upon Edd's timely receipt of a feather duster from his pen-pal, Gerta, Rolf realizes that the sender is really "Gerta the Goat Milker", and that she was just playing pranks based on his fear/hate of wolves (his "sworn enemy"). This suggests that the human "attacker" from the flashback was really Gerta as well.
• The viewer gets the clear impression that Rolf explicitly wants to get back at her for the wolf-based pranks. Being well versed in Gerta's fame and her antics, he knows specifically how to respond such that he gets "the last laugh".
• Throughout the series, characters' eyes are drawn in different, rather consistent styles to represent specific emotional states. At his realization that the whole wolf thing was just a prank, Rolf's eyes went from the "horror story" style to the "sane and semi-rational" style, suggesting that he was no longer upset.
• Rolf was just a child for much of his stay in his home country, as evidenced by that flashback and comments he has made in previous episodes. Children don't routinely stray very far from home, and since he travels primarily by foot or animal-drawn wagon, he wouldn't get very far in any reasonable time frame if he did. In other words, he had to have lived fairly close to Gerta.
• We can chalk up the wolf sounds during the flashback as simply the result of slightly faded memories. We all tend to embellish a little over time. Furthermore, realistic sounds are frequently used in the series whenever someone is acting like (or just dressed as) an animal or monster.
• Some folks on other websites have also noted that Rolf's diet includes far more seafood than normal for an inlander, suggesting that he lives near a coast.

It is reasonable to assume he lived along the north/west coast of Norway, or along the southern coast on either side of the border with Sweden. The article should be updated accordingly. Vanessaezekowitz (talk) 03:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Except that this is an encyclopedia, and we don't publish assumptions. -- Elaich ^talk 07:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Unless there is an explicit statement from Antonucci, this all falls into WP:OR and more so WP:SYNTH. Yngvarr (t) (c) 09:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe he lived in Sicily? Maybe he lived next to a huge lake? Rolf's origins are from Eastern Europe, which is in a constant state of flux politically. Maybe that's why Danny chose that region for Rolf's origins.

Well, as we saw the flashbacks we see a landscape common to Nordic Europe or Switzerland. Or maybe he's from Iceland? The point is that he lived in a high-mountained area, which is common for Scandinavia and some central European areas

Words spelled wrong

No mention of how, despite Double-D's immense intelligence, words are always full of childish spelling mistakes (wrong letters, even letters being backwards) in the show. Groundlord (talk) 20:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Got a feeling Edd doesn't write the signs for the scams. treelo _radda 22:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Naz has a last name

As revealed in the Big Picture Show, Naz does in fact have a last name, I just can't make it out. So if someone could try to sound it out they could add it. It sounds something like Van Vortenschmere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.3.142.53 (talk) 07:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

It's Nazz Van Fartenschmere.

Series Finale?

Under Characters where it says "Eddy's Brother" it claims the movie is the series finale but Antonucci plans to make a sixth and a seventh season. Lasttiger (talk) 07:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Wilfred's Gender

In several episodes, as well as the film, it is shown that Wilfred is in fact a female pig, due to the presence of multiple breasts along Wilfred's underside. Ghengispan (talk) 12:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Eddy's brother's name

For the last time: Eddy's brother's name is NOT Matthew. The show doesn't say his name and neither does some DVD. Believe me, I have both seasons and it's not in any of those interviews. Besides, if it had been in a DVD interview, it would have spread like wildfire across the fandom a long time ago. End of story. DasEnde (talk) 07:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Mondo a-Go-Go

Eddy's Bro is the owner of the amusement park. C'mon, he's the only at the park when the kids get there, and he apparently knows the schedule of the park. I'd also say, it fits who he is, a conman who tought Eddy all he knows.--71.74.144.123 (talk) 04:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
