History Characters / EdEddNEddyTheEds

* HolierThanThou: He dips into this frequently. While he's certainly less egotistical than Eddy, Edd himself '''''clearly''''' enjoys rubbing on supposedly having the higher moral ground than others, not just to both of his own best friends' faces. Averted in the movie when Eddy calls him out for this citing that he didn't see Double D stop him from doing the scam, making the point that Double D isn't as innocent as he claims. [[SincerityMode No wonder why he's often paired up with Marie a lot]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: He's known for being the most morally aware of the Eds, yet he's ''also capable'' of breaking any of his own moral standards, more so when it's done rather '''consciously'''. (Case in point: his '''''attempted assault''''' towards Sarah due to the fact that she blew off her tongue on him while she's sick, especially considering that he's [[TerrifiedOfGerms mysophobic/germophobic]].)

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He's revealed to have this at the end of The Movie. There were hints given throughout the series that he might not feel as awesome as he claims himself to be, however; and it turns out that his jerkish tendencies and high opinion of himself were a mere facade to cover up a nasty Inferiority Complex. You can thank his brother for that.

* DirtyCoward: While not as much as Eddy is, it's apparent that even though he's the most morally alert of the Eds, he might also just be [[{{Hypocrite}} using his own]] [[{{Irony}} moral conscience]] just so he could get away scot-free from being in trouble throughout the show, despite the fact that he participated in conceptualizing ''many'' of the Eds' scams. [[JerkassHasAPoint Even Eddy subtly accuses him]] for having this kind of trait during their swamp fight in the movie.

** In "If It Smells Like An Ed," he justifies giving Jimmy a wedgie as a joke.

** Also in the movie, Eddy is known to [[NeverMyFault blame others and never himself]]. So, when Edd reached his RageBreakingPoint where he would rather accept the beating from the livid kids of the Cul-De-Sac than to spend another second with "a so-called friend", Eddy's crying and finally accepting responsiblity prompted Edd to forgive him.

** In the movie, keep a close eye on Eddy's face when he first hears Edd's voice when Edd starts to defend Eddy from his Bro. It is a look of sheer dread because he knows without a shadow of a doubt his brother is going to attack Edd now.

* IdiotHoudini: Ed is stupid, but [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]], the writers go overboard on his stupidity and he comes off more as a jerk to his own friends. In "X Marks the Ed" for example, not only he's one of the kids who laugh at Eddy for having a zit, he was the catalyst of the whole plot.

--> '''Edd:''' "You and your nefarious '''SCAMS!!!'''"
--> '''Eddy:''' "Like you were picking daisies! ''YOU BUILT'' that stupid thing!!!"

* AmbiguouslyBi: Double D was shown to go all LoveMakesYouDumb over Nazz like most of the other boys in the neighborhood, and some scenes between [[HoYay Double D and Eddy]] in The Movie just ''scream'' UnresolvedSexualTension. (Plus [[spoiler:Eddy's brother]] thought Double Dee was a girl and came to the conclusion that he was Eddy's "girlfriend".) In "Key to My Ed" Ed is dancing around, grabs Eddy and slams him into Double D, the two catching each other in a dancing position; Double Dee's only remark is a smirk and, "What? No flowers?". Also, his only problem with Ed trying to kiss him under the mistletoe was that someone might be watching.

* DirtyCoward: While not as much as Eddy is, it's apparent that even though he's the most morally alert of the Eds, he might also just be [[{{Hypocrite}} using his own moral conscience]] just so he could get away scot-free from being in trouble throughout the show, despite the fact that he participated in conceptualizing ''many'' of the Eds' scams. [[JerkassHasAPoint Even Eddy subtly accuses him for having this kind of trait]] during their fight in the movie.

* {{Irony}}: The most moral person of the group is prone to lashing out against injustice or incorrectness.

* DirtyCoward: While not as much as Eddy is, it's apparent that even though he's the most morally alert of the Eds, he might also just be using his own moral conscience just so he could get away scot-free from being in trouble throughout the show, despite him participating in constructing ''many'' of the Eds' scams. [[JerkassHasAPoint Eddy even subtly accuses him for having this kind of trait]] during the movie.

* DirtyCoward: While not as much as Eddy is, it's apparent that even though he's the most morally alert of the Eds, he might also just be using his own moral conscience to get away scot-free from being in trouble throughout the show, despite him participating in building ''many'' of the Eds' scams. [[JerkassHasAPoint Eddy even accuses him of this]] during the movie.

* DirtyCoward: While not as much as Eddy is, it's apparent that even though he's the most morally alert of the Eds, he might just be using his own moral conscience to get away scot-free from being in trouble throughout the show (despite him participating in many of the Eds' scams). [[JerkassHasAPoint Eddy even accuses him of this]] during the movie:

* DisneyDeath: Gets hit by a wave of sewage and is presumed dead by Ed. However, he emerges alive from the sewer and pursues the other Eds to get his hat back.

* DramaQueen: A rare male example (more appropriately "Drama King", for this case). He can tend to overreact over the simplest things, being a NeatFreak and all. Case in point, in "Out With the Old, In With the Ed", he broke down crying when he forgot the ''paperclips'' for his school supplies. Rolf even describes him as "He who laments at the drop of a hat".

** He does ''not'' like being pranked.

* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Even when he's not trying to, he sends people flying just by giving them a playful slap on the back.

* BreakTheHaughty: Eddy has been acting like a smug, arrogant and selfish jerk of the highest caliber. However, in the movie, as it shows that all of his failures have taken their toll on his self-esteem, and Edd abandoning him for a few moments after Eddy plays a very cruel practical joke about nearly dying and ruining his friendship with one of the only two friends he has was the last straw before he '''finally''' has his pride in shatters and breaks down and admits that he is a suck-up loser while crying his eyes out. However, it can also be considered a good thing, with Eddy finally accepting responsibility for his actions and treating Edd and Ed much better as a true friend helps him learn to stop being such a jerk. PlayedForDrama with his brother, who proceeds to torcher Eddy just for laughs in front of everyone. Once his brother is defeated, Eddy tearfully confesses that he lied about every cool thing about his brother just because he wanted to have friends. By the end of it all, Eddy finally learned the lesson in humility he needed and stops being something he's not.

* He shows no remorse in scamming others out of all their money and things, yet God forbid you do the same to him. When Jimmy and Rolf get revenge on Eddy for swindling all of Jimmy's money, Eddy is furious over them taking all is stuff for ripping ''him'' off.

* BookDumb: Eddy detests school and learning, which may be the reason he has all F's on his report card.

** His '''utter''' refusal to [[NeverMyFault accept responsibility for his action]].

* BreakTheHaughty: PlayedForDrama in the movie, as it shows that all of his failures have taken their toll on his self-esteem, and Edd abandoning him for a few moments was the last straw before he breaks down and admits that he is a suck-up loser, and then his meeting with his brother...

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

* TheDogBitesBack: He is mistreated, abused and exploited by Eddy all the time, but 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".

* ExtremeDoormat: Lets pretty much anybody, including [[ToxicFriendInfluence Eddy]] and ''especially'' [[StalkerWithACrush Marie]] and [[JerkJock Kevin]], run all over him. However, as patient as he is, [[BewareTheNiceOnes his patience has limits]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Edd is ''very'' prone to falling into this despite his strong moral center, largely because he himself has his own limits. One such example is in the episode "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?", where he, with the help of Ed, gave Eddy a taste of the latter's own medicine by having him be '''physically harmed''' by the Kids.

* GentlemanAndAScholar: Edd is a genius but he's genuinely friendly and nice to everyone, and although his asides are occasionally condescending, he never claims to be superior because of his brains. He is portrayed as sensitive, thoughtful, and reasonable.

* InSeriesNickname: Other than being [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known By His Nickname]] Double D, he's often called "Sockhead" by [[TheNicknamer Eddy]], "Double Dork" or "Double Dweeb" by [[TheNicknamer Kevin]] and loads of Head-In-Sock-Edboy-like synonyms Rolf will come up with. The amount of times he's called Edd can be counted on one hand, most notably in the pilot where Eddy calls him by his actual name and then goes back to using Double D ever since after. After the pilot, the only time times he's called Edd is when there is a TitleDrop and the Eds are referred to as "Ed, Edd, and Eddy" (by Eddy in "Ready, Set... Ed!", Jimmy and Jonny in "See No Ed", Jonny again in "Postcards from the Ed", and Jimmy again in the movie).

* VocalEvolution: His voice in the first half of Season 1 is more like that of a teenage boy. The second half is when he gets his trademark SimpletonVoice considering that his voice sounds much dumber and goofy than before.

* InSeriesNickname: Other than being [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known By His Nickname]] Double D, he's often called "Sockhead" by [[TheNicknamer Eddy]], and "Double Dork" or "Double Dweeb" by [[TheNicknamer Kevin]].

* SicklyNeuroticGeek: He's an obsessive-compulsive, prodigal NervousWreck and ControlFreak who loses it at the smallest sight of germs.

* VocalEvolution: In earlier season 1 episodes, he sounded much more raspy, calm and vulnerable. Later on, his voice became much more high-pitched and clean, speaks more stressfully (possibly to fit his ObsessivelyOrganized nature) and a [[NoIndoorVoice little louder]].

* PragmaticVillainy: A common contention with partnership with Eddy. As Eddy recurrently points out, Double D, despite often trying to convey a moral code, participates in the scams on his own behalf and usually invents their devices. However, nearly all of Double D's contributions and approaches tend to be less dishonesr and harmful than Eddy's, knowing a relatively honest and well-plotted effort would be less liable to backfire on them, while Eddy nearly always amps the underhandedness up to eleven out of greed or impatience, or simply to spite one of their targets.
