'''''Ed, Edd n Eddy''''' is an [[United States|American]] [[animated television series]] created by [[Danny Antonucci]] and produced by [[a.k.a. Cartoon]] for [[Cartoon Network]]. The premise is that three pre-adolescent boys&mdash;named Ed, Edd, and Eddy (collectively known as "the Eds")&mdash;hang around in their [[suburb|suburban]] neighborhood of
[[Kingsland, Georgia|Peach Creek]], where "the cul-de-sac" is located. Led by Eddy, the Eds scheme to make money off their peers, but their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments. The characters never leave the neighborhood, and adults are nowhere to be found.
 
''''' Ed, Edd n Eddy''''' is an [[animated television series]] created by [[Danny Antonucci]] for [[Cartoon Network]]. The series revolves around three friends named Ed, Edd (nicknamed "Double D" to avoid confusion with Ed), and Eddy—collectively known as "the Eds"—who are voiced by [[Matt Hill]], [[Sam Vincent (voice actor)|Sam Vincent]] and [[Tony Sampson]] respectively. They live in a suburban [[cul-de-sac]] in the fictional town of Peach Creek along with fellow neighbourhood children Kevin, Nazz, Sarah, Jimmy, Rolf, Jonny, and the Eds' female adversaries, the Kanker Sisters, Lee, Marie and May. Under the unofficial leadership of Eddy, the trio frequently invents schemes to make money from their peers to purchase their favourite confection, [[Gobstopper|jawbreakers]]. Their plans usually fail, leaving them in various, often humiliating and painful, predicaments.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Erickson |first=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |edition=2nd |page=300}}</ref>
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.
 
Antonucci, an [[Adult animation|adult cartoonist]], was dared to create a children's cartoon. While designing a commercial, he conceived ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'', designing it to resemble classic cartoons from the 1940s–1970s. When pitching the series to [[Nickelodeon]], the network declined to give him [[Artistic control|creative control]], a deal to which Antonucci did not agree. He then pitched the series to Cartoon Network. A deal was made with the network to commission the series under his control, and it premiered on January 4, 1999. During the show's run, several specials and shorts were produced in addition to the regular television series. The series concluded with a [[television film]], ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show]]'', on November 8, 2009.
 
''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' received critical acclaim and became one of Cartoon Network's most successful original series. It won a [[National Cartoonists Society#Reuben Award|Reuben Award]], two [[Leo Awards]] and a [[Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada|SOCAN Award]], and was also nominated for another four Leo Awards, an [[Annie Award]] and two [[Kids' Choice Awards]]. The show attracted an audience of 31 million households, was broadcast in 120 countries,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Massey |first=Jake |date=January 5, 2019 |title=It's 20 Years Since 'Ed, Edd n Eddy' Was First Released |url=http://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/film-and-tv-its-20-years-since-ed-edd-n-eddy-was-first-released-20190105 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190808170032/http://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/film-and-tv-its-20-years-since-ed-edd-n-eddy-was-first-released-20190105 |archive-date=August 8, 2019 |access-date=August 8, 2019 |website=LadBible.com}}</ref> and proved to be popular among children, teenagers, and adults. The series has also included spin-off media such as video games, DVD releases, and a series of books and comic books featuring characters from the series. With over a 10-year run, ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' became the longest running singular series to premiere on Cartoon Network, a status held until 2024 when it was surpassed by ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'' It is still the longest-running singular Cartoon Network original series. The series also was broadcast on [[Teletoon]] in Canada.
 
==CharactersPremise==
{{see also|List of Ed, Edd n Eddy characters|l1=List of ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' characters}}
===Ed, Edd and Eddy===
[[File:All 3 eds.png|thumb|left|200px|alt=Three young odd-looking boys|The titular characters from the left: Edd ("Double D"), Eddy, and Ed]]
====Ed====
''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' follows the lives of "the Eds", three scheming boys who all share variations of nicknames of the name [[Edward]], but differ greatly in their personalities: Ed ([[Matt Hill]]) is the strong and dim-witted yet kind-hearted dogsbody of the group; Edd ([[Sam Vincent (voice actor)|Samuel Vincent]]), called Double D, is an inventor, neat freak, and the most intelligent of the Eds; and Eddy ([[Tony Sampson]]) is a devious, quick-tempered, arrogant con artist, and self-appointed leader of the Eds. The three devise plans to obtain money from the other kids in their cul-de-sac, which they want to use to buy [[Gobstopper|jawbreakers]]. However, problems always ensue, and the Eds' schemes usually end in failure and humiliation.
Ed is the workhorse of the group. His mind is a [[subculture]] grab bag full of [[comic book|comics]] and [[Horror film|monster movies]], which he often confuses with reality. 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 usually has a very sweet disposition, he can become grumpy occasionally. Ed loves buttered toast, gravy, and chickens. Ed is one of those people who seems on the surface to be stupid, but is really living in an [[alternate reality]].
It should be pointed out that one episode in Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy has pointed out that Sarah and Ed may, in fact, not be related. She being a red head, and as far as we can see Ed has black hair. Apparantly Ed fell off a truck, and that's how he was born.
 
The cul-de-sac kids do not include the Eds as part of their group, making the trio outcasts. The group of kids are Jonny ([[David Paul Grove|David Paul "Buck" Grove]]), a loner whom his peers consider to be a nuisance, and spends most of his time with his imaginary friend, a wooden board named Plank; Jimmy (Keenan Christensen), a weak, insecure, and accident-prone child, who is most often seen spending his time with Sarah ([[Janyse Jaud]]), Ed's spoiled and ill-tempered younger sister who is attracted to Edd; Rolf ([[Peter Kelamis]]), an immigrant whose customs often differ from the other children's; Kevin ([[Kathleen Barr]]), a cynical and sardonic jock who detests the Eds, particularly Eddy; Nazz ([[Tabitha St. Germain]]; [[Jenn Forgie]]; [[Erin Fitzgerald]]), usually seen with Kevin, is a calm and friendly blonde girl who the Eds, Jonny, and Kevin are infatuated with. All of the cul-de-sac kids share a common fear of the Kanker Sisters, Lee (Janyse Jaud), May (Erin Fitzgerald; Jenn Forgie), and Marie (Kathleen Barr), three bully girls led by Lee who live in a nearby trailer park and romantically harass the Eds. Each Kanker has a preference for who they wish to date and marry among the three, with Lee wanting Eddy, Marie wanting Edd, and May wanting Ed.
====Edd====
A young inventor, [[Wiktionary:mysophobe|neat freak]], and the brains of the group, sarcastic Edd is never seen without his trademark black ski hat that resembles a sock, hence the [[nickname]] "Sockhead".
 
Aside from the Eds, the other cul-de-sac kids, and the Kanker Sisters, no other characters appeared in the series until [[Santa Claus]] had a cameo in "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle", flying over Peach Creek to quickly drop off presents. During the fifth season, silhouettes of other people were occasionally shown, and in "Mission Ed-Possible", the arms of Eddy's father and Ed's mother were seen. An arm of Eddy's mother was also shown during "Smile for the Ed". In the series finale, ''Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show'', Eddy's adult brother ([[Terry Klassen]]) was seen for the first time, making him the only non-main character, and the only adult character to ever fully appear on the show. The series took place mostly within the fictional town of Peach Creek, and new locations were rarely introduced. Its first four seasons are set during a seemingly endless summer vacation, though from the fifth season onwards, the characters are shown attending junior high school in the fall and winter months.
His parents put a heavy workload upon him, communicating tasks solely through a multitude of [[sticky note]]s. His hat hides a disturbing secret, and the only other people who know about it are Ed and Eddy. He is considered a nerd by everyone, hates sports and is normally a straight-A student in all of his classes. He has been excused from gym class ever since "the dodgeball incident." He is not very strong physically and has a difficult time dealing with it. He is an excellent [[pedal steel guitar]] player, although he insists that he loathes the instrument.
Is retarded. Or is it ed?
 
====Eddy==Production==
===Development===
An incompetent 12-year-old [[con artist]] and self-appointed leader of the Eds, Eddy is a complete sucker for [[Gobstopper|jawbreakers]] at the local candy store. He dislikes school and goes to any length to [[scam]] the other kids for money, even at the expense of his friends' credibility. His report card labels him a [[megalomaniac]]. Because he is short, he has something of an [[inferiority complex]].
[[File: Danny Antonucci.png|thumb|right|220px|Danny Antonucci, creator, co-writer, director, and executive producer of ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'', produced the series on a dare|alt=Cool-looking animator, Danny Antonucci]]
Although cartoonist [[Danny Antonucci]] began his career by working as an animator on various children's series for [[Hanna-Barbera]], his later solo works were edgy and aimed at adult audiences. He was an animator on the 1981 film ''[[Heavy Metal (film)|Heavy Metal]]'', and gained notoriety with the 1987 short film ''[[Lupo the Butcher]]'' and then, after founding his own production studio, [[a.k.a. Cartoon]] in 1994, created the series ''[[The Brothers Grunt]]'' for [[MTV]]. It was quickly cancelled, however, upon being met with generally poor reviews.<ref name="Season1DVD">{{Cite AV media |title=Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Complete First Season—''Interview with the Creator'' |date=October 10, 2006 |last=[[Danny Antonucci]] |type=DVD |publisher=[[Warner Home Video]] |time=0:22–2:34}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Beard |first=William |url=https://archive.org/details/northofeverythin00bear/page/63 |title=North of Everything |last2=White |first2=Jerry |date=June 1, 2002 |publisher=[[University of Alberta Press]] |isbn=978-0-88864-390-2 |page=[https://archive.org/details/northofeverythin00bear/page/63 63] |url-access=registration}}</ref>
 
On a dare, Antonucci then decided that he would try producing a children's animated series of his own. While designing a commercial, he ended up drawing three characters that he felt particularly pleased with. Growing excited over their potential, he named them Ed, Edd, and Eddy and spent the following months developing a show around them.<ref name="Season2DVD">{{Cite AV media |title=Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Complete Second Season |date=April 24, 2007 |last=[[Danny Antonucci]] |type=DVD |publisher=[[Warner Home Video]]}}</ref> In 1996, he faxed a one-page [[Model sheet|concept sheet]] and pitched the series to [[Nickelodeon]],<ref name="Season2DVD" /><ref name="TakeOne">{{Cite journal |last=Simensky |first=Linda |date=June 22, 1999 |title=Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy: Three Guys, One 'Toon |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Ed,+Edd+'n'+Eddy%3A+three+guys,+one+'toon.-a030234569 |url-status=live |journal=[[Take One (Canadian magazine)|Take One]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215100105/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Ed%2C+Edd+%27n%27+Eddy%3A+three+guys%2C+one+%27toon.-a030234569 |archive-date=December 15, 2013 |access-date=December 7, 2013}}</ref> but the network declined to give him [[Artistic control|creative control]], and Antonucci refused.<ref name="Season1DVD" /> He then pitched the series to [[Cartoon Network]]. The network agreed to let Antonucci have control of the show, and conversations between him and the studio continued.<ref name="Season1DVD" />
It is usually Eddy's swaggering over-confidence that causes the failure of Double D's plans. Eddy has a love affair with money, and was driven insane when he had no one to scam when everyone else was under [[quarantine]] for [[chickenpox]]. He loves his retro styled room, with a [[lava lamp]], a large round king-sized bed, and a [[record player]], next to which can be seen a [[Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]] or a [[Barry White]] record. His room also includes a [[disco ball]]. Eddy is mostly seen commanding the two "Eds" into doing all the work, while he just slacks off.
 
Vice president of programming and production of Cartoon Network, [[Mike Lazzo]], showed high interest in the series and requested a [[bible (writing)|show bible]], which came through by fax, a few pages at a time, over a period of the next few months.<ref name="TakeOne" /> After an affirmative response from Cartoon Network president Betty Cohen, the legal paperwork and deal-making began, followed by a start-up meeting at the [[Chateau Marmont]] hotel in [[Los Angeles]]. A deal was made that Antonucci's studio, a.k.a. Cartoon, would produce ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'', making it the first Cartoon Network original series to be produced by an outside production company rather than Cartoon Network's [[Hanna-Barbera]]. The series also entered production and bypassed a seven-minute short; this marked the first time that one of the studio's original series had ever done this.<ref name=TakeOne/>
===Secondary characters===
 
According to Antonucci, he based the characters on real people in his life. The personalities of Ed, Double D, and Eddy are based on his own traits as well as the activities of his two sons, while the cul-de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were all based on children he grew up with.<ref name=" Season1DVD-1">{{Cite AV media |title=Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Complete First Season—''Interview with the Creator'' |date=October 10, 2006 |last=[[Danny Antonucci]] |type=DVD |publisher=[[Warner Home Video]] |time=2:15–4:39}}</ref> Rolf is based on Antonucci and his cousins, since he was part of an Italian immigrant family, and grew up in a first-generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living, compared to those born in Canada.<ref name=" Season1DVD-1" />
 
{{blockquote|Rolf is me and all of my cousins. My parents were right off the boat so I grew up playing to two worlds, the modern world, and the 1950s Italian world. My parents like Rolf's lived&nbsp;— still live in the past, with strong traditions and strange cooking and having a hard time assimilating to modern life.<ref name="BestDayEdder">{{Cite episode |title=The Best Day Edder |series=Ed, Edd n Eddy |network=[[Cartoon Network]] |date=April 27–28, 2007}}</ref>}}
====Jimmy====
A childish aspiring artist, Jimmy likes playing [[doll|dollies]] with Sarah. He can be more manipulative, 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]]. Jimmy has shown how deeply attached he is to Sarah when someone tries to take her away from him. He also wears a [[Retainer (orthodontic device)|retainer]] due to one of Eddy's previous scams where he bit a bowling pin and ruined his teeth.
 
Jimmy is based on one of his cousins, who was rather feminine and spent most of his time playing with girls rather than with boys.<ref name=" Season2DVD" /> Jonny and Plank are inspired by one of Antonucci's childhood friends, a loner who spent most of his time outside with his blanket.<ref name=" Season2DVD" /> He stated that he believed it was important to add Plank, a board of wood, to the show, and that he, "thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own" and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do.<ref name=" Season1DVD-1" /> Some wanted Plank to be able to talk, smile and blink as if he was alive, but Antonucci insisted that it should be treated as a piece of wood, brought to life by Jonny's imagination.<ref name=" Season2DVD" />
(It is sometimes implied that Jimmy is perhaps homosexual, due to no obvious attraction to Sarah or Nazz.)
 
====Jonny 2x4=Casting===
[[Matt Hill]], [[Sam Vincent (voice actor)|Samuel Vincent]], and [[Tony Sampson]] were respectively cast as Ed, Edd, and Eddy. [[David Paul Grove|David Paul "Buck" Grove]] and Keenan Christensen played the parts of Jonny 2×4 and Jimmy, respectively, while Sarah was voiced by [[Janyse Jaud]]. [[Peter Kelamis]] voiced Rolf, while [[Kathleen Barr]] was cast as Kevin. Nazz was voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain]] in season 1, [[Jenn Forgie]] in season 3, and [[Erin Fitzgerald]] in seasons 2, 4, 5, and 6. Fitzgerald also played the part of May, one of the Kanker Sisters, except in season 3 when she was voiced by Jenn Forgie. The other two Kanker sisters, Marie and Lee, were voiced by Kathleen Barr and Janyse Jaud. Eddy's adult brother is mentioned frequently throughout the series but does not appear until ''Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show'', where he is voiced by series voice director [[Terry Klassen]].<ref name="Credits">Credits of all ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' episodes and the ''Big Picture Show''</ref>
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 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.
 
===Animation===
[[Image:EEnE Kids.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Plank says "3rd base is fun." Clockwise from left: Jimmy, Sara, Rolf, Kevin, Nazz, Jonny, and Plank.]]
Antonucci, an advocate of hand-drawn animation, wanted to ensure ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' was produced in a way similar to cartoons from the 1940s to 1970s. As a result, the series was the last major animated series to use traditional [[Traditional animation#Cels|cel animation]], only switching to [[digital ink and paint]] in 2004. Cels were shipped to South Korea at Yeson Animation Studios for creating the initial animation, and then later edited back at Antonucci's a.k.a. Cartoon studio.<ref name="Season1DVD" />
 
To give the impression of movement, ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' uses "[[wikt: boiling#Noun|boiling lines]]" or shimmering outlines which Antonucci likens to cartoons of the 1930s.<ref name=" Season1DVD" /> [[IGN]] has compared it to [[Squigglevision]],<ref name="IGN-Scam" /> and [[Animation World Magazine]] wrote that the way the line varies and shakes gives the animation a distinctive and spontaneous feeling as if it were drawn by children.<ref name=" AnimationWorldMagazine2" /> The boiling line is created by tracing off a drawing three times through sheets of paper.<ref name=" Season2DVD" /> Antonucci explained that he felt it "helps keep the characters alive" and that he wanted to depart from other Cartoon Network series and pay homage to the classic cartoon era.<ref name="Season1DVD" /><ref name="Season2DVD" />
====Kanker Sisters====
If there's one thing the Eds and the cul-de-sac kids can agree on is that they all hate the Kanker sisters. May (blonde), Marie (blue hair), and Lee (redhead) are sisters and live in a nearby [[trailer]] park. The Kankers are the cul-de-sac's number one enemy and they are feared by all the other kids, especially the Eds and Kevin for their brash and uninhibited demeanor. While all the Kankers like the Eds, it has been shown that May has a preference for Ed, Marie for Edd, and Lee for Eddy.
 
All the children have multicoloured tongues; Antonucci said that the idea came after he saw his son and his friends with different-coloured tongues because of eating different candy while he was working on a storyboard.<ref name=" Season2DVD" /> The characters went through several "walking cycles," a process used to determine how each character should walk or run, turn around, blink, etc. before the crew came up with the final product.<ref name=" Season2DVD" />
====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]],and Stump from [[The Angry Beavers]]. 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 strange and elaborate coincidences.
 
===Music and title sequence===
====Rolf====
Antonucci showed the theme song to the studios when first pitching the series, thinking it would be better than only looking at drawings.<ref name="Season2DVD" /> It was inspired by the [[Bob Crosby]] and The Bob Cats song "[[Big Noise from Winnetka]]," which was whistled, something Antonucci enjoyed doing as a child.<ref name="Season2DVD" /> Composed by [[Patric Caird]], who created all the music in the series, Antonucci performed the whistling himself.<ref name="Season2DVD" /> [[Paul Boyd (animator)|Paul Boyd]] created the show's title sequence.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Amidi |first=Amid |author-link=Amid Amidi |date=August 20, 2007 |title=More About the Death of Paul Boyd |url=http://www.cartoonbrew.com/animators/more-about-the-death-of-paul-boyd-3976.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025114533/http://www.cartoonbrew.com/animators/more-about-the-death-of-paul-boyd-3976.html |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |access-date=January 27, 2013}}</ref> The music of ''Ed, Edd, n Eddy'' is heavily influenced by 1930s and 1940s [[jazz]] and [[jump blues]], [[rockabilly]], [[boogie woogie]], and the [[rock and roll]] of the 1950s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cheek |first=Andrew |date=October 31, 2019 |title=Clichés and the Art of Music Composition: An Interview with Ed, Edd n Eddy Composer Patric Caird |url=https://andrewgcheek.medium.com/clich%C3%A9s-and-the-art-of-music-composition-an-interview-with-ed-edd-n-eddy-composer-patric-caird-7d285253ca9f |access-date=September 5, 2021 |website=[[Medium (website)|Medium]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Perrone |first=Isabella |date=August 5, 2019 |title=BWW Interview: Get to Know Patric Caird, the Composer Behind Save Me, The Order, and Ed, Edd N Eddy's Iconic Music |url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/toronto/article/BWW-Interview-Get-To-Know-Patric-Caird-The-Composer-Behind-SAVE-ME-THE-ORDER-and-ED-EDD-N-EDDYs-Iconic-Music-20190805 |access-date=September 5, 2021 |website=BroadwayWorld.com}}</ref>
Rolf, of a curious [[Europe|European]] culture with odd customs, works his parent's small farm within the [[cul-de-sac]], leads a [[scouting]] group called the '''Urban Rangers''' 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 minor animals. He mostly hangs out with Kevin, playing various sports, and hardly minds the Eds unless they make a fool out of him, after which he is not afraid to use brute force. He has quite a temper, and reportedly wishes to be a [[barber]] when he grows up. He refers to himself in the 3rd person.

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 snitching on him. She is almost always playing 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.
It should be pointed out that one episode in Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy has pointed out that Sarah and Ed may, in fact, not be related. She being a red head, and as far as we can see Ed has black hair. Apparantly Ed fell off a truck, and that's how he was born.

====Nazz====
The trendy and attractive girl in the cul-de-sac who mostly hangs out with Kevin and does not mind the Eds unless they annoy her. 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 rivals for Nazz's attention. Nazz plays the [[tuba]] very poorly, but when she plays the boys say otherwise to appease her.

====Kevin====
The [[jock]] on the block, he has mixed feelings about the Eds. That is, he despises Eddy, seems neutral toward Ed and it seems that Edd is on good terms with Kevin, at least compared to the other Eds, as the two are sometimes seen having pleasant conversations. Kevin watches ''[[60 Minutes]]'', has a garage full of jawbreakers (as his father works at a jawbreaker factory) and loves customizing his [[bicycle|bike]], [[skateboard]]s and [[snowboard]]s. When not riding his trusty bike, he hangs out with Rolf in the lane. He is a gym assistant at Peach Creek Junior High. Although he pummels Eddy on a regular basis, he is terrified of Eddy's unnamed brother.

===Unseen character===
 
==Episodes==
====Eddy's brother====
{{Main|List of Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes|l1=List of Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes}}
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...or worse, Jonny looks up to Eddy's brother, and Nazz has a crush on him. Jimmy wants to meet him because he has big muscles. Sarah does not seem to care about 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]]. He is a very popular figure in the cul-de-sac and everyone except Sarah either admires him or is afraid of him.
{{: List of Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes}}
It is possible that Sarah believes him to be an idiot because, though this may have been a reference to her own brother, she often says, "Brothers are such idiots!" and makes Eddy's brother no exception.

===Critical reception===
:''For episode synopses, see [[Episodes from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Season 4|Episodes from ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'', Season 4]].''
''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' received critical acclaim and became one of Cartoon Network's most successful original series. David Cornelius of [[Internet Brands|DVD Talk]] considered the Eds to be child equivalents of [[The Three Stooges]], believing that "the series revels in the sort of frantic, often gross humour kids love so much, and there's just enough oddball insanity at play to make adults giggle just as easily."<ref name=" DVDTalk">{{Cite web |last=Cornelius |first=David |date=April 24, 2007 |title=Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy&nbsp;— The Complete Second Season |url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/28046/ed-edd-n-eddy-the-complete-second-season/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206102052/http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/28046/ed-edd-n-eddy-the-complete-second-season/ |archive-date=February 6, 2009 |access-date=July 31, 2007 |website=[[DVD Talk]]}}</ref> Cornelius also wrote that the "animation is colourful and intentionally bizarre; bold lines forming the characters and backgrounds wiggle and morph in a delirious haze. This is the animation that's, well, really animated."<ref name="DVDTalk" />
 
Despite this, not all reception of the show was positive. Terrence Briggs of ''[[Animation World Network|Animation World Magazine]]'' considered every second of the show "filler" and lamented that the main characters are drawn as "products from the school of acid-trip caricature."<ref name="Briggs">{{Cite news |last=Briggs |first=Terence |date=February 1999 |title=Ed, Edd n Eddy: Caught in a Circle |url=http://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.11/3.11pages/tveddy.php3 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907200757/http://www.awn.com/mag/issue3.11/3.11pages/tveddy.php3 |archive-date=September 7, 2008 |access-date=July 31, 2008 |work=[[Animation World Network|Animation World Magazine]] |volume=3 |issue=11}}</ref> After Briggs' review was published, a large number of letters supportive of the show were sent to the magazine, prompting it to "take a second look" at the show.

==TriviaOther media==
{{spoilers}}
*''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' was unusual in that it was animated wholly using traditional [[traditional animation|cel animation]], while most cartoons are now animated using [[computer animation|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.
 
===Film===
*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. In school, the Eds and the rest of the core cast are the only children we ever see. 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.

*All the episode titles, except for the holiday specials, are popular sayings with a word replaced with the name "Ed" (e.g., "Stop, Look, and Ed"- Stop, Look, and Listen.) 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]], "O-Ed's Eleven" - [[Ocean's Eleven]]).
''Ed, Edd n Eddy'' was regularly featured in [[DC Comics]]' ''Cartoon Network Block Party'' (originally ''Cartoon Cartoons'', the [[Cartoon Cartoons|collective name of original Cartoon Network series from 1995 to 2003]]) [[comic book]]s, along with other Cartoon Network series.<ref>{{Cite comic |date=''2001–2004 (as ''Cartoon Cartoons''); 2004–2009 (as ''Cartoon Network Block Party'') |title=Cartoon Network Block Party ''(originally'' Cartoon Cartoons'') |publisher=[[DC Comics]]}}</ref> Two books based on the series have been released, both published by [[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic Inc.]] in 2005: ''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Lots of Laughs'', written by Jesse Leon McCann,<ref>{{Cite book |last=McCann |first=Jesse Leon |author-link=Jesse Leon McCann |title=Ed, Edd n Eddy: Lots of Laughs |publisher=[[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic Inc.]] |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-439-77942-5 |page=92}}</ref> and ''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Book of Extreme Excuses'', written by Howie Dewin.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dewin |first=Howie |title=Ed, Edd n Eddy: Book of Extreme Excuses |publisher=Scholastic Inc. |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-439-77941-8 |page=96}}</ref>

Cartoon Network produced short cartoons involving the Eds which were shown during commercial breaks. A short music video was produced with stylized versions of Ed, Edd, Eddy, and Sarah, entitled "The Incredible Shrinking Day" (listed on the Season 2 DVD as "I'm Not Coming in Anymore"),<ref name=" Season2DVD" /> which aired on Cartoon Network in 2002 and 2003. In the video, Sarah uses a potion to shrink the Eds to a size capable of playing in her dollhouse, with predictable results.<ref name="Sarah">{{Cite episode |title=The Incredible Shrinking Day |series=Ed, Edd n Eddy |network=[[Cartoon Network]] |year=2002–2003}}</ref> Plank starred in a similar video called "My Best Friend Plank," which aired in 2002.<ref name="Plank">{{Cite episode |title=My Best Friend Plank |series=Ed, Edd n Eddy |network=[[Cartoon Network]] |year=2002}}</ref>

===Video games===
*The most coveted sweet treat in the Ediverse, especially among the Eds, is the jawbreaker. A number of episodes have used jawbreakers or quests to obtain the same as plot or sub-plot devices. The jawbreakers of the Ediverse are noticeably oversized; in fact, almost as large as a kid's head. Kids enjoying jawbreakers will have characteristic [[bowling ball|bowling-ball]]-sized bulges on one side of their heads, due to the presence of a massive jawbreaker under one of their cheeks.
Four video games based on the series have been produced. ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers!]]'' was released on September 15, 2003, for the [[Game Boy Advance]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers!'' for Game Boy Advance |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-jawbreakers/platform/gba/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120127073314/http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-jawbreakers/platform/gba/ |archive-date=January 27, 2012 |access-date=July 27, 2011 |website=[[GameSpot]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]}}</ref> ''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Giant Jawbreakers'' was released on March 4, 2004, for [[mobile phone]]s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Giant Jawbreakers'' for Mobile phone |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-giant-jawbreakers/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140322004630/http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-giant-jawbreakers/ |archive-date=March 22, 2014 |access-date=May 27, 2012 |website=[[GameSpot]] |publisher=CBS Interactive}}</ref> ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures]]'' was released in 2005 for the [[GameCube]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], Game Boy Advance, and [[Microsoft Windows]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=''Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures'' |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429210416/http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/ |archive-date=April 29, 2012 |access-date=April 20, 2012 |website=[[GameSpot]] |publisher=CBS Interactive}}</ref> The most recent game, ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century]]'', was released for the [[Nintendo DS]] on October 26, 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |title=''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century'' for DS |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-scam-of-the-century/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111229200022/http://www.gamespot.com/ed-edd-n-eddy-scam-of-the-century |archive-date=December 29, 2011 |access-date=April 30, 2012 |website=[[GameSpot]] |publisher=CBS Interactive}}</ref> The games were met with generally mixed reception.<ref>{{Cite web |title=''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers'' |url=https://www.metacritic.com/game/ed-edd-n-eddy-jawbreakers/critic-reviews/?platform=game-boy-advance |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429164652/http://www.metacritic.com/game/game-boy-advance/ed-edd-n-eddy-jawbreakers! |archive-date=April 29, 2012 |access-date=July 23, 2012 |website=[[Metacritic]] |publisher=CBS Interactive}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=''Ed, Edd n Eddy: Giant Jawbreakers'' |url=http://www.gamerankings.com/mobile/920264-ed-edd-n-eddy-giant-jawbreakers/index.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150911092939/http://www.gamerankings.com/mobile/920264-ed-edd-n-eddy-giant-jawbreakers/index.html |archive-date=September 11, 2015 |access-date=July 23, 2012 |website=[[GameRankings]] |publisher=CBS Interactive}}</ref><ref>''Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures'' scores at ''[[GameRankings]]'': [http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/928470-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html PC] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012074713/http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/928470-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html |date=October 12, 2012}}, [http://www.gamerankings.com/gamecube/928469-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html GC] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012074531/http://www.gamerankings.com/gamecube/928469-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html |date=October 12, 2012}}, [http://www.gamerankings.com/ps2/928466-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html PS2] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130127044928/http://www.gamerankings.com/ps2/928466-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html |date=January 27, 2013}}, [http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox/928468-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html XB] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121124053324/http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox/928468-ed-edd-n-eddy-the-mis-edventures/index.html |date=November 24, 2012 }}.

*In "Cool Hand Ed", Ed made a reference to an old airline commercial by saying, "Hi. I'm Ed. Fly Me!"
 
==References==
*The Eds' plans are usually ruined by ''[[deus ex machina]]''s. For example, in "Cool Hand Ed" the gang's attempt to escape from school using a makeshift plane fails when Double-D's sweater gets caught on a bush; he was still holding onto the plane when it happened, so the plane was pulled back and crashed. There are several more of these in other episodes.

*The show features many [[meta-reference]]s and breaks of the [[fourth wall]]. To name a few examples:
**In "Know-It-All Ed", Edd tells Eddy his "25 cents or 25 days in the pokey" line is from the "wrong cartoon". The cartoon this was referencing was Hanna & Barbera's "Quick Draw McGraw."
**In "Key to My Ed", after tripping over a napping Johnny, Eddy complains "Does this guy sleep through the whole show?"
**In "Cry Ed", as he chases Eddy around, Edd complains "I've lost about ten pounds this season!"
**In "Momma's Little Ed", Eddy apologizes to Edd for posting up "sticky notes of the Apocalypse", blaming it on Ed and Kevin, and Edd points out "Kevin wasn't in this show, Eddy."
**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."
**At the end of Act 1 of "If It Smells Like an Ed", Ed says "I should have all the feeling back in my feet after this 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 "Ed Overboard", when asked to be sworn in as a temporary member of the Urban Rangers, Eddy quips "I'd swear, but [[FCC|Standards]] won't let me."
**In "Hands Across Ed", at the auditions, after banishing Rolf after his disconcerting dance of the hairless otter, Eddy whispers to Edd, "No budget for subtitles!"
**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.
**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."
**Also, in the same episode, when Ed starts reminiscing about the beginning of the episode, Eddy hits him over the head with a fish and shouts "I hate clip shows!", and ''again'' thwaps him over the head with the fish and says "STOP IT! No more [[remember]]ing!"
**In "Stuck In Ed", after Edd reminds Eddy that he'd taught Jimmy (who is trying to help think up a scam) everything he knows, Eddy asks "Didn't we win an [[Emmy]] for that episode?"
**At the end of "Here's Mud In Your Ed", after Eddy falls for Rolf's "money-tree" scam a second time, Edd turns to the camera and says, "An iris-in would be appropriate, don't you think?", cueing the end of the cartoon. After the iris-in occurs, his voice says, "Thank you!"
**Near the end of "Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed", Ed finds Edd's hat, with no sign of Edd, and assumes the worst, while Eddy protests "But it's the end of the show, Ed!"
 
*Peach Creek Estates, which is where the cul-de-sac is, shares the name of several real-life neighborhoods. The show's creators insist that the Peach Creek of the show can never be found on a map, and is more an idealistic ___location than a specific one.
 
*In the episode ''The Day the Ed stood Still'', Ed wears costume resembling a [[Xenomorph (Alien)|Xenomorph]] from the [[Alien (film)|Alien]] movie series, and Ed actually mimics its behavior by turning his bedroom into a "hive" and suspending the other kids from the wall using a resin formed from semi-digested cereal.
 
*In the episode "O-Ed Eleven," Edd creates a fake ID card with the name Walter Sobchak. Walter Sobchak is also the name of a character in the movie [[The Big Lebowski]].
 
*In the episode "Urban-Ed," Ed makes a reference to [[Smokey and the Bandit]]; while in the city, Ed imitates a semi-truck, running through a lineup of kids and through a red light shouting "Smokey's on my tail!"
 
*In the episode "Every Which Way But Ed" there is a reference to the song "[[Jesus built my Hotrod]]" by industrial metal band [[Ministry (band)]] when Kevin dives into the [[lake]] saying "ding a ding dang my ding a long ding dong!"
 
*A reference to [[Bruce Almighty]] is used in "Out With the Old, In With the Ed". Edd has an extendable file cabinet in his suitcase, much like Bruce Nolan's life file cabinet in the Omni Presents building.
 
*A reference is made to the [[1992 Los Angeles riots]] in "One + One = Ed" when Jimmy says, "Can't we all just get along?" is what [[Rodney King]] said in response to the violence.
 
*In the episode, "[[Episodes from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Season 3|Once Upon an Ed]]," Johnny makes reference to various songs by [[The Beatles]] by telling the Eds "Plank and I want real stories, with stuff like [[Octopus's Garden|octopus's gardens]], [[Maxwell's Silver Hammer|silver hammers]], and [[Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!|Mr. Kite]]!" Another Beatles reference was made in the episode "Rent-A-Ed", where Ed shouts "O-bla-di, o-bla-da!" after crashing through the see-saw.
 
*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 (2000 movie)|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.
 
* Ed, Edd n Eddy is not set in any identifiable time period. Danny Antonucci has stated that he wanted the show to appeal to any generation. If a [[Videocassette recorder|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]]s, [[Game Boy]]s or [[cell phones]], Rolf's [[TV]] has 4 channels and Ed's TV has rabbit ear [[antennas]].
 
*There have been two [[video game]]s based on Ed, Edd n Eddy; [[Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures|The Mis-Edventures]] and [[Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers!|Jawbreakers!]].
 
*Ed was the winner of the 2004 Cartoon Network presidential election, while running with Grim from [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]. Plank was also a candidate and never uttered a word when asked questions by the media.
 
*"Take This Ed and Shove It" marks the first time adults have ever been shown (the children in their later years). It was also revealed that Eddy lived up to 102 by Edd saying "Why, we haven't been children in over 90 years!" The second time is in "Mission Ed-possible", where the arms of Ed and Eddy's parents pull them offscreen after seeing their report cards.
 
* At the beginning of "Once Upon an Ed", Jonny is reading a book to Plank dubbed Conrad the Lonely Stump and mentions an old farmer named Dickie Packford. Dickie & Packford are two [[surnames]] of AKA storyboard artists, Joel '''Dickie''' and Timothy '''Packford'''.
 
*The episode, "Boys Will be Eds" is a reference to the Farrelly brothers film, [[There's Something About Mary]]. Both plots are about a group of guys who are all in love with one girl and try to win her affection by any means necessary.
 
*Near the end of the episode, "Urban Ed", Johnny steals Eddy's money and climbs to the top of one of the cardboard buildings. This directly parodies the famous [[Empire State Building]] climb in the film, "King Kong".
 
*Although Ed is terrible at most musical instruments, he is very skilled at the [[flute]], being able to make Rolf's animals follow him just by playing it, as shown in "Who's Minding the Ed?"
 
*Also In "Who's Minding the Ed?" Sarah has paper signs on her bedroom door that says "No Boys" "Except Jimmy" "Ed get lost". She also has a [[Telephone]] in her room.
