History Characters / EdEddNEddyTheEds

** Ed sort of loses control of his upper body, causing it to hang backwards as he runs, his arms extended.

** Jawbreakers. Most of their scehemes are kicked off by a craving for these.

** Jawbreakers.

* {{Schemer}}: His defining trait. He provides the trope's page quote.

* SoreLoser: When Eddy loses the election in “For the Ed, By The Ed,” he angrily tries to demand a recount. He ignores the fact that even if there was a recount, the results would still be the same.

* StepfordSmiler: He seems confident and manly, but it's shown that it's was all a [[BeneathTheMask mask]] to hide the inferiority complex he got from his brother's abuse. A [[BeneathTheMask mask]] he made in naive belief that he would be popular if he acted like he did.
* {{Stonewall}}: He has a massive amount of pain tolerance. Justified because his brother used to practically torture him growing up, and, karma being a bitch, having enough pain tolerance to hold onto the nearby door is part of what allows the Eds to beat up his brother.

* {{Tsundere}}: He's definitely a Type A, largely due to his frequently harsh behavior towards others. This is even supported by the fact that he tends to be a CasanovaWannabe from time to time.

* HatedByAll:
** While all of the Eds get the AllOfTheOtherReindeer treatment from the other characters, it's often hinted that Eddy is the only one the cul-de-sac kids truly hate, and Ed and Edd/Double D would be liked more if they simply stopped hanging out with him. No better is this shown than in "For the Ed, by The Ed," where he runs against [[CompanionCube Plank]] in an election for King of the Cul-de-Sac... and only receives one vote, which was his own. Not even his own friends voted for Eddy, with Double D voting ''against'' him. Thankfully Eddy is moved out of this by ''Ed Edd N Eddys Big Picture Show'' with him building a closer bond with his friends and the neighborhood kids learning about his past with his brother, with Eddy showing that he cares for his friend, has learned his lesson on being a good person and truly changed for the better.
** Even among the Kankers he seems to rank as far less popular than Ed and especially Double D. While Marie and May do genuinely like their respective Eds, with Lee it's far more ambiguous if she's actually into him or just wants a man to boss around.

* FatalFlaw: {{Greed}}, the trait that often causes Eddy to drag his friends into big trouble.

* HatedByAll: While all of the Eds get the AllOfTheOtherReindeer treatment from the other characters, it's often hinted that Eddy is the only one the cul-de-sac kids truly hate, and Ed and Edd/Double D would be liked more if they simply stopped hanging out with him. No better is this shown than in "For the Ed, by The Ed," where he runs against [[CompanionCube Plank]] in an election for King of the Cul-de-Sac... and only receives one vote, which was his own. Not even his own friends voted for Eddy, with Double D voting ''against'' him.

* EmbarrassingMiddleName: While the Ed's last names are never revealed, their middle names are. Eddy's middle name is Skipper and Edd's middle name is Marion. Both of their names have been mocked by the other kids. Ed's middle name is Horace but he is never mocked for it.

** However, according to [[https://eenefangirlanalysis.tumblr.com/post/167509370799/ed-decides-that-hes-had-enough-its-time-to this blog post]], "Ed Edd N Eddys Big Picture Show" was originally going to have a scene where the Eds confess their secrets, including Edd's secret that reveals that what is underneath his hat is his scar from his head being cracked from being slammed against the wall from his dodge ball machine malfunctioning while getting revenge against the other kids when he played dodge ball. Unfortunatley, instead of adding extra minutes for this scene, it got deleted to save time.

** Rolf & Jimmy even exploit this in "Here's Mud In Your Ed" by tricking Eddy into giving away all his personal possessions for an exchange for a fraudulent money tree seed.

* OddFriendship: In the later seasons. Eddy is a [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]] jerk who thinks he's superior to everyone else (which turns out to be InferioritySuperiorityComplex in TheMovie), Edd is a socially awkward NiceGuy, ShrinkingViolet and a NeatFreak with his own [[{{InsufferableGenius}} Jupiter-sized ego]] while Ed is a LethallyStupid KindheartedSimpleton. You have to wonder why they get along so well...

** Eddy seems to think that he'll be popular if he acts like a jerk and scamming people. It has the opposite effect, though, as it leads to him often getting beaten up or humiliated. [[spoiler: He learns his lesson in the movie, fortunately]]

* OddFriendship: In the later seasons. Eddy is a [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]] jerk who thinks he's superior to everyone else (which turns out to be InferioritySuperiorityComplex in TheMovie), Edd is a socially awkward NiceGuy, ShrinkingViolet and a NeatFreak with his own [[{{InsufferableGenius}} Jupiter-sized ego]] while Ed is a LethallyStupid KindheartedSimpleton. You have to wonder why they get along so well...

* AesopAmnesia: Eddy never seems to learn from his past mistakes. From continuing to overlook a flaw in his scams to ignoring Edd's warnings of what impending predicament may occur due to his impulse to taunting the likes of Kevin and Sarah despite the many beatings he (as well as the other two Eds) has received from them.

* ShipTease: With [[VitriolicBestBuds Eddy]] (especially in TheMovie), [[DudeMagnet Nazz]], [[PrecociousCrush Sarah]], [[StalkerWithACrush Marie]], and May (in the Valentine's Day episode).

* SanitySlippage: In "Cleanliness is Next to Edd-ness". His shower is out of order and asks the kids around the cul-de-sac if he could use theirs. Getting no results, and only filthier, he slowly grows more insane...and proceeds to roll in dirt and dump trash on himself while [[CuteAndPsycho giggling maniacally]], in manners that remind you of [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren Höek]].

* DidntThinkThisThrough: His FatalFlaw, alongside his {{greed}}. If there's something he wants ''right now'', he'll do it without bothering to think of the consequences, such as relentlessly tormenting Kevin while he's grounded and can't retaliate, only to get his ass kicked when Kevin gets let off early, and convincing Ed to spend the money [[KillerRabbit Sarah]] gave him to buy her fudge on jawbreakers instead, leading to a ''very'' pissed off Sarah nearly tearing Ed's head off before Edd intervenes.

** In "The Day the Ed Stood Still," after Ed attacks Eddy and busts through the garage door, Double D remarks that he warned him about Ed's overactive imagination and he can't control himself, when it was Double D's idea to dress Ed up as a monster to begin with; Eddy [[JerkassHasAPoint even calls him on it]]. It's especially glaring because Double D did this immediately after Eddy simply described what happened; Eddy hadn't even tried to point blame at someone else and was simply telling Double D what happened. Deconstructed as Ed's rampage escalates, leaving Double D desperate to atone for "literally creating a monster".

%%* CrackPairing: InUniverse with May.

A [[Main/TheCutie lovable]], [[StrongerThanTheyLook astoundingly strong]], [[KindheartedSimpleton kindhearted doofus]] who serves as [[DumbMuscle the muscle]] of the Eds. Ed has a number of odd obsessions, including science fiction and horror movies and comics, chickens, buttered toast, and gravy. An overdose of B-movies and comic books has apparently loosened his grip on reality, making him both spacey and easily-swayed.

* {{Flanderization}}: He initially started off absentminded but still mostly competent during the first half of season 1, but he eventually became infantile and idiotic considering that he becomes a ditzy ManChild in future seasons.

[[folder:Edd/"Double D"]]

* SevenHeavenlyVirtues: Because of his rather pure intentions, Ed is applicable to all of these virtues, even one of them:

** '''Chastity''': Although he's guilty of making rather ''suggestive'' remarks, he doesn't actually express any sexual interest with any girl, such as Nazz (even if he has a crush on her).

* GutturalGrowler: He has a very gruff voice indeed.

* CovertPervert: Is partly the reason for the show's subtext. And he laughed at "sextant" joke in the movie.

** [[spoiler:Just before he removes one of the hinges on the door Eddy is holding, [[LaserGuidedKarma which causes said door to be yanked off and bean Eddy's Brother]], Ed gives look of pure rage, showing that ''even [[NiceGuy Ed]]'' [[EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes think's Eddy's Brother is a monster for how he treats his younger brother]]]].

** Though, in "Little Ed Blue", his angered persona, while indeed steaming mad, struggled while he pulled but a tree trunk to adjust his seating. Still, this being a bit of an earlier episode, the feats got more insane as time went on.

** He helps Eddy taunt Kevin while the latter is grounded.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Edd is easy to mistake for a girl at first. His high pitched voice doesn't help.

** In "The Day the Ed Stood Still," after Ed attacks Eddy and busts through the garage door, Double D remarks that he warned him about Ed's overactive imagination and he can't control himself, when it was Double D's idea to dress Ed up as a monster to begin with; Eddy [[JerkassHasAPoint even calls him on it]]. It's especially glaring because Double D did this immediately after Eddy simply described what happened; Eddy hadn't even tried to point blame at someone else and was simply telling Double D what happened.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: During the Movie, Double D delivers an epic one to Eddy after suffering an entire day of being the target of Eddy's mischief and Ed's playfulness (being riled up by Eddy). He basically sums up Eddy as the reason for his and the rest of the group's status as outcasts because his "stubborn inane desire to shock, sandbag, and swindle is what put us here in the FIRST PLACE!" and hits him! It all finishes with Double D admitting he'd rather go home and face retribution than continue to journey "with a so called friend".

** While running for king of the cul-de-sac, Eddy counts all the votes that didn’t go for him and realizes that Edd voted against him in favor of Plank despite counting on his help, and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown promptly attacks him]] in frustration.
** After being tricked into thinking he was dying from a horrible disease by Eddy for laughs, he sees Kevin trying to bust into his house to beat him up (also after Eddy badly screwed with him), 'accidentally' drops the spare key to his house and watches as Kevin lets himself in to take revenge on Eddy.
** Despite their desperation to hide their poor grades from their parents, Edd still does his best to outrun and outwit his own friends to deliver their report cards to their families personally, not caring about what might happen to them.
** Edd volunteers Eddy to have a booster shot taken with a big scary needle in front of Kevin, both to help him get over his fear of syringes and as payback for sending the whole school into a panic earlier, knowing full well Eddy's just as horrified of them as Kevin is.

* TheDogBitesBack: Being mistreated, abused and exploited by Eddy all the time, Edd's gotten back at him in the conclusions of "Brother Can You Spare an Ed?", "A Case of Ed", "Momma's Little Ed", and and "Mission Ed-Possible".

* HeroWithBadPublicity: In spite of his kind-hearted personality and altruism, the Cul-de-sac kids all hate on him just for hanging out with Ed and Eddy.

'''Eddy:''' What? You weren't picking daisies! ''YOU built the stupid thing!!!''\\

* IgnoredExpert: No matter how many times he tries to warn Eddy of a major flaw while scamming or tell him how immoral one of Eddy's certain conspiracies (such as getting the kids to break the rules) could get, Edd is always ignored. Predictably, it never ends well, and Eddy even blames Edd for some of the failures.

* SmugSuper: Though he is polite and the smartest kid in the cul-de-sac, Double D has a habit of underestimating the intelligence of other characters, such as calling Rolf "so uneducated" and failing to realize he's being tricked by the Kankers in "A Twist of Ed" and "Every Which Way But Ed". He also failed to figure out who the one framing them was in "If It Smells Like An Ed" before it was too late.
