History Characters / EdEddNEddyTheEds

* CharacterTics: He'll often blink his eyes out of sync as an indication of how slowness.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: 90% of their schemes come back to bite them in the rear, deservedly so. Though it especially stands out because everyone else (Sarah, Kevin and ''especially'' the Kanker Sisters) frequently get away with their actions.

** "Rent a Ed" ends with the Eds receiving praise and applause...after one of their scams destroys Jonny's house.
** Kevin [[UnreliableNarrator frequently thinks they are]]. In the film, he expresses dissapointment that they "got away with [scamming and hurting the kids] '''again!''' "

* IdiotHoudini: Ed is stupid, but [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]], the writers go overboard on his stupidity and he comes off more as a unintentional 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.

* KarmaHoudini: They're ''not'', but Kevin [[UnreliableNarrator frequently thinks they are]]. In the film, he expresses dissapointment that they "got away with [scamming and hurting the kids] '''again!''' "

** To a lesser extent he also contrasts Eddy, since he's a GentleGiant who's usually happy and almost never gets angry, while Eddy is short, grouchy, bad-tempered and often jerkish.

* GRatedDrug: His addiction to horror movies, to a point where in the [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween special]], he binge watches so many of them that he hallucinates and sees the cul-de-sac kids as macabre creatures during the Eds' trick-or-treating adventure.

* GreenAndMean: Played with in the episode "Little Ed Blue", where throughout the majority of the episode, he displayed a rather unusual bitter attitude... all because of [[SmallRoleBigImpact a pebble in his shoe]]. Thankfully, he reverts back to his normal cheerful disposition after that same pebble was out of his shoe.

* AbandonedCatchphrase: Ed would say "Dork(s)?" whenever Kevin refers to him and his friends as such. He stops saying it after the first season.

** 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 a few extra minutes for this scene, it got deleted to save 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.

* JustJokingJustification: Eddy sometimes makes attempts to excuse his jerkish behavior to others as a "joke." For example:

* NowAllowedToHug: Eddy is known to greatly dislike being touched, even by Ed and Double D. However, come [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddyBigPictureShow the finale movie]] after [[spoiler:Ed saves Eddy from his sadistic and cruel BigBrotherBully and Double D goes to see if he's alright, he lets his guard down and allows him to help him up and hold his hands.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: His early appearances also lacked his RealityWarping and SuperStrength abilities, and his non sequitur speech was much more infrequent. He was also more willing to join in on the cruelty of the other kids.

** '''Temperance''': Even in the cases of him eating numerous things ([[ExtremeOmnivore not just what's humanly edible]]), he does show a number of moments where he controls his hunger, such as the moment in "Don't Rain on My Ed", where he chose to save Double D instead having a free jawbreaker with Eddy from the Candy Store.

* SarcasmBlind: This is why it is incredibly easy for Ed to fall victim to Eddy's (and at times, Edd's) [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]].

* SevenHeavenlyVirtues: Because of his rather pure intentions, Ed is applicable to all of these virtues, even the rarest among them to him:

* {{Hypocrite}}: '''''Defines''''' this trope the most out of all the Eds (at least Eddy's aware about his own bad behavior). He's known for being the most morally aware among them, 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]].)

* {{Hypocrite}}: '''''Defines''''' this trope the most for all of the Eds (at least Eddy's aware about his own bad behavior). He's known for being the most morally aware among them, 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]].)
