Ed, Edd n Eddy is a Canadian-American animated television series created by Danny Antonucci and produced by a.k.a. Cartoon for the Cartoon Network. The premise is that three adolescent boys—named Ed, Edd, and Eddy (collectively known as "the Eds")—hang around in their suburban neighborhood of Peach Creek Estates. Led by Eddy, the Eds scheme to make money off their peers, but their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments. The characters almost never leave the neighborhood, and adults are nowhere to be found.

there is also a lost edd, he goes by the name of guns! he loves the gunn especialy the .22

The series, which was Cartoon Network's fifth Cartoon Cartoon, was first aired in 1999 and has since attracted millions of fans worldwide. Originally, there were to be only four seasons; Cartoon Network, however, has ordered two more seasons of Ed, Edd n Eddy, bringing the series length to six seasons. There are also three holiday specials: Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day episodes. It is now reigning as the longest running original cartoon on Cartoon Network.


Characters

Ed

Ed is the workhorse of the group. His first name is either Edward or Edwin (both are mentioned in the show). There are times where a more intelligent Ed has been seen, but only under strange circumstances and usually have nothing to do with the current situation. He is known for his strange interests that usually involve buttered toast, gravy, and chickens. He also was the winner of both Cartoon Network's presidential election, 6 and 2 years ago.

His mind is a subculture grab bag full of comics and monster movies, which he often confuses with reality. However, Ed is the strongest member of the group and Eddy sees him as dumb muscle. He becomes even stronger when he's thinking about whatever impossible to lift object he is holding. Despite his larger size, Ed is utterly at the mercy of his tyrannical younger sister, Sarah, and is an easy target for her emotional blackmail techniques. Much to the dismay of germophobe Edd, he has zero personal hygiene—he's even terrified of soap. Even though he is usually good natured, he can become grumpy occasionally.

Edd

A young inventor, neat freak, and the brains of the group, sarcastic Edd is never seen without his trademark black ski-cap that resembles a sock, hence the nickname "Sockhead". To differentiate his homophonetic name from that of Ed's, everyone calls him Double-D. He has a remarkably large collection of ants. His parents put a heavy workload upon him, communicating tasks solely through a multitude of sticky notes. His first & middle names are Eddward and Marion respectively. It is hinted in "The Ed-Touchables" that he may have had a crush on Sarah, though he tends to stay away from her (although she's been known to have a crush on him). His hat hides a disturbing secret, and the only other people who know about it are Ed and Eddy. He is considered a nerd and hates sports and is normally a straight-A student in all of his classes, except gym. Edd was the last of the three to join the group, as Ed and Eddy had known each other before they met Edd. He is not very strong and has a difficult time when dealing with it.

Eddy

An incompetent con artist and self-appointed leader of the Ed's, Eddy is a complete sucker for jawbreakers at the local candy store and goes to any and all lengths to scam the other kids for money, even at the expense of his friends' credibility. Because he is short, he has an inferiority complex. He is a bitter rival of Kevin, Sarah, and his former protége, Jimmy.

It is often Eddy's swaggering over-confidence that causes the failure of the Double D's plans. His middle name is Skipper. Eddy has a love affair with money, and was driven insane when he had no one to scam but the Eds when everyone else was under quarantine for chickenpox. He loves his retro styled room, especially his record player, next to which can be seen a Tom Jones record. Eddy has been a con artist far before the group was a trio, along with one of his early scams dubbed "The Amazing Bottomless Ed", where people paid to see Ed eat a television. Eddy is mostly seen commanding the two "Eds" into doing all the work, while Eddy just slacks off.

Sarah

A spoiled brat of a sister who acts cute and charming only when it serves her, Sarah has Ed's unending loyalty and obedience, mostly from threats of her tattling on him, but she does occasionally show some concern. She is almost always hanging out with Jimmy, and when she's not, she rushes to his aid the moment he calls her. It has been hinted in several episodes that she has a crush on Edd. She also writes in her diary about how angry she is at Ed and Eddy for forcing cute, innocent Edd to participate in their schemes.

Jimmy

A childish aspiring artist. Jimmy likes playing dollies with Sarah. His behavior is a product of his young age, which is probably 6-8, making him the youngest character on the show. He can be more manipulative and conniving (and more successful) than Eddy when given motivation. Jimmy is quite accident-prone, and there are few episodes where he isn't seen with bandages. However, he can be quite crafty, and once framed the Eds for wrecking a friendship monument. Jimmy is also a member of Rolf's Urban Rangers, and he claims that his father forces him to practice hockey (a cover for his framing incident). Jimmy has shown how deeply attached he is to Sarah when someone tries to take her away from him. He also wears a retainer due to one of Eddy's scams.

Rolf

Rolf, of a curious European culture with odd customs including talking in the 3rd person, works his parent's small farm within the cul-de-sac, leads a scouting group called the Urban Rangers (consisting of himself, Jonny, Jimmy, and Plank), and is the son of a shepherd, in which he takes pride. His faithful farm animals are a pig named Wilfred, a goat named Victor, a cow, a chicken named Gertrude, and several other duplicate animals (multiple pigs, goats, and cows are seen rarely, while multiple chickens are seen most often). He mostly hangs out with Kevin, playing sports and hardly minds the Eds unless they shake his tree, after which he uses his brute force. He has quite a temper, and reportedly wishes to be a barber when he grows up. It is revealed in "Mission Ed-Possible" that Rolf is failing BCA class because he can't type and doesn't know how to use the typewriter.

Jonny 2x4

Jonny has a large head, frequently gets on the other kids' nerves, likes collecting clams, believes Plank sees things, and talks a lot. He is a member of Rolf's Urban Rangers. He seems to like trees, often found dangling by his head from them, and since he sends Plank for help, typically waits hours for assistance. He doesn't seem to mind the antics of the Eds and sometimes seems to enjoy them. He is rarely seen without Plank. Jonny is innocent and gullible, and forgives people no matter what they do.

Plank

A short piece of board with drawn-on eyes and mouth, Plank is Jonny's imaginary best friend. Plank is an oddity within the series, comparable to Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes. He was given a chip in his head when he got stuck in Rolf's teeth, thought by Jonny to be brain damage. While immobile, he is often able to have an effect on the kids through what they call strange and elaborate coincidences. It appears that Plank communicates with Jonny telepathically. He has also been known to be able to move on his own, though this is never actually seen (at least not in way in which it would be conspicuous, since he does fall on a lever that puts the Eds on a roller coaster ride of doom. Plank was a candidate in Cartoon Network's mock Presidential election. He lost to Ed, being an easy target for jokes, and never uttered a word when asked questions by the media. Plank also had a mother and father that were both decapitated, though not necessarily killed, when Eddy took them on an overly priced tour around the Cul de Sac. For revenge, Plank sent the wood mafia to attack the Eds at the end of the cartoon.

Nazz

The trendy and attractive girl in the cul-de-sac who mostly hangs out with Kevin and does not mind the Eds at times. All of the boys except Rolf and Jimmy have a crush on her, and when she approaches, they lose the ability to speak coherently. Kevin and Eddy are typically the ones battling it out for Nazz's attention. Nazz plays the tuba very poorly, but when she plays the boys say otherwise to appease her. She baby-sits Eddy in one episode, but Eddy thought it was a date. As an effect, Eddy was left very embarrassed by the situation and stayed in his room until the party was over.

Kevin

The jock on the block, he hates the Eds - especially Eddy, but he seems to like Double D and is fairly neutral toward Ed - and frequently calls them "dorks" and other names. Kevin watches 60 Minutes, has a garage full of jawbreakers (his father works at a jawbreaker factory), customizes his bike and skateboards and snowboards when there is snow. When not riding his trusty bike, he hangs out with Rolf in the lane. Eddy often taunts Kevin about his large chin. He is a gym assistant at Peach Creek Junior High. Typically an all around jock, he seems to like all kinds of sports activities. Apparently, he is not well liked among fans, because of his constant bullying on the Eds.

Kanker Sisters

May (blonde), Marie (blue hair) and Lee (redhead) are half-sisters and live in the nearby Park n' Flush trailer park. The Kankers are the cul-de-sac's number one enemy and they are feared by all the other kids who live there, especially the Eds and Kevin for their brash and uninhibited demeanor. While all the Kankers love all the Eds, it has been shown that May has a preference for Ed, Marie for Edd, and Lee for Eddy.

Unseen characters

Eddy's brother

According to Eddy, his brother was "the coolest kid in the cul-de-sac" and went away. Kevin is scared of Eddy's brother, Rolf thinks Eddy's brother wants to steal his chickens, Jonny looks up to Eddy's brother, and Nazz has a crush on him. He is never shown on screen except through vague impressions such as the photo of Eddy and his brother's silhouettes on the staircase, but Eddy makes passing references to him when one of his ideas are inspired by him. He is also lactose intolerant and has a blue beard.

Ed and Sarah's mom

She has never appeared on screen but she is considered to be powerful. Usually when Sarah does not get her way (because of Ed most of the time) she threatens to tell her mother, thus prompting Ed to be punished (or even have the stairs leading out of his room removed). (In a dream, Ed and Sarah's mom was shown to have Jonny's face, which caused Ed to freak out whenever he saw Jonny for the whole episode.)

Nana

Another off scene character, aside from Rolf's other relatives, Rolf often yells aloud for his Nana (grandmother); seemly the only relative at home at the time.

Great Nano

Rolf often invokes the name of Great Nano, who seems to be Rolf's great-grandfather. When talking of Great Nano, he uses hushed tones. Rolf's Great Nano was famous for his slaying of a vicious sea cucumber, before escaping in a canoe fashioned from his leather shoes.

Trivia

  • Ed, Edd n Eddy was unusual in that it was animated wholly using traditional cel animation, while most cartoons are now animated using 2D computer animation. The use of painted cels lasted up to the end of the 4th season: Though the show is entirely hand-drawn, all cels are colored digitally. This is due to the fact that no animation studio paints cels anymore. It was the last major cartoon to use painted cels.
  • The number of characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy are "fixed": no adults or other characters other than those already in play ever appear in the show. The entire adult world is a set of hidden characters. Occasionally, a vehicle will enter the small universe the show is set in, and it can be presumed that an adult is driving, although they are never seen. The character who comes closest to ever being seen is Rolf's Nana, whom he sometimes talks to, although she never talks back.
  • The letters "AKA," which is the abbreviation for the name of the company that produces the show, frequently appear in the show. The words have been seen on license plates, magazines, T-shirts, and other things.
  • Several errors in the first four individual episodes—off-key music, disappearing outlines, and a fuzzy picture—were fixed for later airings.
  • Jawbreakers, the candy all the characters love, are huge candy spheres as big as (sometimes bigger than) the characters' heads (in contrast to real life, where large jawbreakers fit easily into the palm of a hand).
  • All the episode titles, except for the holiday specials, are popular sayings with a word replaced with the name "Ed". Some are also parodies of movie titles (E.g., "For Your Ed Only" - For Your Eyes Only, "The Day the Ed Stood Still" - The Day the Earth Stood Still).
  • Most of the episodes begin with something completely unrelated to the storyline of the episode. This is to emphasize the randomness of childhood. [1]
  • The 4th wall is broken many times:
    • In "Robin Ed", after finding out that Eddy has been selling boxes of junk to the kids, Edd says "That's what we do on every show, but not like this!" as he complains about Eddy sinking to a new low.
    • At the end of act 1 of "If It Smells Like an Ed", Ed says "I should have the feeling back in my feet after a word from our sponsors, Double D!" Edd, who is stuck hauling a chunk of sidewalk that Ed had been carrying, then says "Curse broadcast commercialism!"
    • In "Key to My Ed", after repeatedly tripping over a sleeping Johnny 2x4, Eddy complains, "Does this kid sleep through the whole show?"
    • In "Stuck In Ed", after Edd reminds Eddy that he'd taught Jimmy everything he knows (in "Ed in a Half-Shell"), Eddy remarks: "Oh yeah! Didn't we win an Emmy for that episode?"
    • In "Ed in the Bush", as Eddy heads off to concoct a plan to ruin the Urban Ranger's camping trip, Ed says "End of first sequence, and fade to black" right before the scene fades out.
    • In "For Your Ed Only", Kevin is perplexed by Eddy and Edd's use of "hasta la vista" and "c'est la vie", and declares "This show needs subtitles."
    • In "Momma's Little Ed", Eddy apologizes to Edd for an outburst of bad temper, saying that Ed and Kevin had been getting on his nerves, and Edd points out "But Kevin wasn't in this show, Eddy."
    • In "Ed Overboard", when asked to be sworn in as a temporary member of the Urban Rangers, Eddy quips "I'd swear, but Standards won't let me."
    • In "Cry Ed", Edd complains "I think I've lost about 10 pounds this season" while chasing Eddy around.
    • In "The Good Ol' Ed", after Eddy finds the "Canadian squirt gun" from "Know-It-All Ed", Ed says "Funny, it was, as though it were only second season."
    • Near the end of "Boom, Boom, Out Goes the Ed", after Ed finds Edd's hat and assumes the worst, Eddy protests "But it's the end of the show, Ed!"
    • In "Knock Knock, Who's Ed," Double D offers the Eds to go to either his or Eddy's house as an easy way to solve the episode's conflict of finding a TV to watch. Eddy rejects the idea, saying "What? And ruin the plot?"
    • In "Wish You Were Ed", after hearing Eddy's convoluted scheme to get Rolf to his home country, Edd says "Let me salvage what's left of this plot".
    • At the end of "Here's Mud in Your Ed", Edd says "An iris in would be appropriate right now, don't you think?"
    • In "Brother Can You Spare An Ed?", Double D makes a long, wordy speech about how guilty he feels for letting Ed buy jawbreakers with the money Sarah gave him (instead of fudge, like she asked), and Eddy comments, "Who writes this guy's stuff?"
  • Peach Creek Esates, which is where the cul-de-sac is, shares the name of a real-life neighborhood a wee bit west of Kingsland, Georgia. There is also such a neighborhood in Hewett, West Virginia. Unfortunately, the show's creators maintain that the Peach Creek of the show can never be found on a map, and is a more idealistic location than a specific one.
  • Edd has an ant farm of 5,239 ants. (In season 1, it was 4,837)
  • All the characters appear in each episode, except the Kanker Sisters - who did not debut until the second episode Nagged To Ed, and Sarah and Jimmy - who's disappearance in school episodes can be expected due to their being younger than the rest of the cast.
  • A majority of the show's voice actors are affiliated with Ocean Group
  • A clip of the series can be seen on a television set in an episode of the television drama Judging Amy (specifically the episode "An Impartial Bias," but the sound on the television cannot be heard as well. Another clip of the series can be seen in the films Crazy/Beautiful and The Kid.
  • During speculation of the fifth season of the series the TV Tome website (now TV.com) listed a set of episodes that would be a part of the season, but those episodes turned out to be false. Among them included an episode where Edd clones himself and his clones start tormenting the others. While this problem was cleaned up, it created a great deal of confusion for fans.
  • In the episode "Urban-Ed," Ed makes a reference to Smokey and the Bandit; while in the city Ed drives through a lineup of kids and through a red light in a makeshift truck, shouting "Smokey's on my tail!"
  • Every season so far has had 13 episodes,but Cartoon Network revealed at a 2006 press cofference,Season Six might have 72 episodes.
  • Ed, Edd n Eddy are not set in any identifiable time frame. Danny Antonucci has stated that he wanted the show to appeal to any generation. If a VCR is needed in a plot, it is there. In the first episode, Edd used a computer to give Jonny a lie detector test, powered through a toaster. The kids do not have IPod, Game Boys or cell phones, Rolf's TV has 4 channels and Ed's TV has rabbit ear antennas.
  • In the Ed Edd n Eddy Hanky Panky Hullabaloo, when the Eds are in art class, Antonucci, the show's creator has his name on the chalkboard along with other well known artists.
  • The show oringally took place in summmer,but in recent episodes,the show takes place in fall,making the Eds have to deal with school.
  • Edd is called Double-D in almost every episode&Ed is sometimes a few times,apparently called Single-D in some episodes.
