* HoldUpYourScore
* HumongousMecha: Double D has successfully built at least two of them--one in "One of Those Eds", and a T-Rex mecha in one of the flashback sequences in "The Good Ol' Ed".
* HypnoFool: In one episode, everyone but the Kanker Sisters and Jonny. Yes, even [[CompanionCube Plank]].
* HypocriticalHumor: The first scene in "Know It All Ed", where the Eds find a box of turkey basters, er, Canadian squirt guns:
-->'''Eddy:''' (holding up a turkey baster) What we have here is a squirt gun.\\
'''Edd:''' ''Please'', a squirt gun?\\
'''Eddy:''' What? Yeah! A ''Canadian'' squirt gun!\\
'''Ed:''' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R78l6ZOPy9o Canadians are weird!]]\\
'''Eddy:''' Watch and learn, boys. Just fill...\\
'''Edd:''' Even if they were Canadian, Heaven forbid, I don't think they're...\\
'''Eddy:''' (squirts Edd) And squirt! Canadian style!
** The hypocrisy comes from the fact that this show was made by Canadians.
** Antonucci, the creator of the show, is an Italian immigrant to Canada.
** One episode focuses on Eddy trying to prevent Kevin from revealing his EmbarrassingMiddleName (Skipper). After it's outed, Edd tries to comfort Eddy by saying that he has an EMN too (Marian). As soon as he learns it, Eddy shouts it out for all the cul-de-sac to hear.
* IdeaBulb: "High-Heeled Eds". While trying to think up a way to scam Sarah, Nazz and Jimmy, Eddy gets one, though it flickers out briefly until he adjusts it.
** Also in "It Came From Outer Ed". Ed gets an idea for a scam and holds up some turf over his head while saying, "Boing! It's a light bulb!"
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every title is a play on a popular phrase, or the title of a related work, with "Ed" replacing at least one syllable.
* IdiotBall: Everyone's held it at least once, but Eddy's the one who usually holds it.
* ImpossibleLeavening: In "An Ed Too Many", the Eds make pizza. Eddy ignores Edd's instructions for how much yeast to use for the dough, pouring in the entire container. The thing rises so much that Eddy's fist gets caught in the thing when he tries to punch it down. They have to have Ed bellyflop on the thing to press it down enough.
* {{Improv}}: A surprisingly notable ''AVERSION'' of this for the series in whole. Despite the completely random lines that Ed and some of the other characters say throughout the series, every last one of them was written into the script first. Ed's voice actor, MattHill, once explained that Danny Antonucci did not allow the actors to improv or ad-lib even the smallest amount. This once lead to a recording session lasting '''''FIFTY-SIX''''' takes before Danny finally thought that the delivery was perfect to use for the episode.
* IronButtmonkey: Whoever's the ButtMonkey of the week becomes this, but it's usually the Eds.
* ItAmusedMe: The reason why Kevin popped the bubblegum bubble that Ed, Eddy, and Jonny were riding in at the time in "For Your Ed Only". [[spoiler:He gets a minor comeuppance later on when the Eds tie him to a tree after he eavesdrops on them over Sarah's diary.]]
* IWishedYouWereDead: G-rated variant in "See No Ed", where the Eds seem to have disappeared:
-->'''Jimmy''': I have a confession: I've wished for this every birthday. Might it have come true?
* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Eddy, who reveals in the movie that he was only acting like a jerk because he thought he'd be cool if he acted like his brother.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eddy is this at times. He's greedy and arrogant, but he does have his moments where he shows he genuinely cares about his friends.
** Likewise, BrattyHalfPint Sarah may be a total jerk towards the Eds (And downright abusive/manipulative towards Ed), but she shows genuine kindness and concern over her friend Jimmy. She does care about Ed deep down, such as one episode where the Eds were trapped in a "haunted" house and pretending to be attacked by ghosts, she squeals, "Somebody save my idiot brother!"
*** And Kevin seems to have been somewhat of a not-so-nice nice kid either. However, towards the [[JustForPun Ed]] of the movie, he finally forgives the Eds and starts acting nicer towards them. Plus, he's good friends with Rolf, and will lend him a hand when needed. And with three exceptions, he seems to be pretty generous with the mountain of jawbreakers in his garage.
*** And in a couple episodes, Kevin can be seen getting along with Double D, such as when Kevin strikes up a conversation with Double D while fixing his bike (albeit calling him "Dork" when he sees that Double D has disappeared), and Double D accidentally-on-purpose dropping the key to Eddy's house so Kevin can get revenge on Eddy for tormenting him while he was grounded (and so Double D could also get revenge on Eddy for [[{{Jerkass}} making him think he had a fatal disease]]).
* {{Kaiju}}: Ed's a small-scale one of these in "The Day The Ed Stood Still", with some [[{{Aliens}} Xenomorph]] for flavor. The Mis-Ed-Ventures game would later feature a level with Ed's monster "form" playing this straight.
* KarmaHoudini: The Kids and the Kankers can do ANYTHING they wish to do and NEVER get punished for it, especially Kevin and Sarah. The Eds, meanwhile, CantGetAwayWithNuthin.
** Edd gets a minor one in "Smile For the Ed" when Eddy gets a week's detention for impersonating the principal, which Edd actually did (though Edd was trying to help).
** In TheMovie Kevin complains that the Eds are supposedly going to get away with their antics "again", [[OffscreenVillainy suggesting they have managed to get off scot free in some unseen incidents]].
** Averted when Jimmy established a character developing moment the Eds would NOT forget when he planned out a grand scheme that placed the blame for numerous mishaps on them (even though they were innocent) just because Eddy gave him a wedgie at the start of the episode, though he gains a very slight punishment himself at the very end.
* KidsAreCruel: Everyone on the show has been known to treat each other like total crap. No one on the show is safe from teasing, bullying, getting beat up or even sexual harassment (which is always from the Kanker sisters).
** This is taken to the nadir in "Out With the Old, In With the Ed" when Rolf chops down Edd's door with an ''axe'', and the kids rob his school supply closet bare. [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Neighborhood?]]
* {{Kidanova}}: Eddy tries, as does Kevin, who's only slightly more successful.
* KnightTemplar: The kids in TheMovie, [[spoiler:especially Jonny.]]
* LampshadeHanging: And how!
** In response to Edd's suggestion to go to his house to watch a movie, Eddy responds with "What? [[JustEatGilligan And ruin the plot?]]"
-->'''Eddy:''' You're supposed to be the smart one, Double D; you're messing up our group dynamics!
** After slipping on a banana peel in another episode:
-->'''Kevin:''' ''Man'' [[OverusedRunningGag that's old]]!
* LargeHam:
** Ed has shades of this in Season 5 and the movie, though he still retains his Funny line generator.
** How is Rolf not under here yet? Just listen to him! He's as a large a ham as a ham can get.
** It's not just these two characters. Everybody on the show had at least one LargeHam moment each throughout the series.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Eds get struck down by this nearly all the time.
* LeadIn: Every episode.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Not a music example, but the makers seem to like giving Eddy the sound of someone shuffling across a basketball court when he's running.
** Ed sounds like a horse galloping most of the time when he runs. When he's not sounding like a car with a faulty clutch. Actually, Ed makes a lot of horse sounds come to think of it...
** Sarah tends to get wildcat noises, especially when enraged.
** For actual musical examples, the Eds get an excerpt of their theme song whenever they're up to one of their (well, Eddy's, really) schemes. Sarah usually gets a dainty piano jingle whenever she's on screen.
* LightningBruiser: Kevin is perhaps the fourth physically strongest character in the series, but his prime trait is riding his bicycle at ludicrous speed.
** Ed as well in Mis-Ed-Ventures when using Batter-Ed.
* LiteralMetaphor:
-->'''Eddy:''' Keep your shorts on, Ed! No seriously, keep your shorts on. ''(pulls up Ed's trousers)''
* LongBusTrip: This is how the episode with Ed's imaginary friend Jib is resolved.
* LustfulMelt: Performed by Eddy and Kevin in "Pop Goes the Ed", when they first see Naz in her bikini.
* MacGuffin: Jawbreakers.
* MadeOfIron: ''Every single character'' are able to survive things from being crushed by a ''house'' to ''having their own face ripped off''.
** Averted with [[spoiler:Eddy's Brother. He delivered a pretty sickening NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Eddy and Eddy survived with bruises and marks. In his brother's case, one hit with a door and he was out cold.]]
* {{Malaproper}}:
** In one episode, Ed pretends to be Eddy, Edd pretends to be Ed, and Eddy pretends to be Edd, with hilarious results. Trying to use a larger vocabulary like Edd, Eddy has a few of these.
** In another episode:
-->'''Ed:''' Allow me to re-irritate.
* MattressTagGag: In one episode, Eddy torments goodie two shoes Double D by ripping a tag off his mattress (while Double D's hat was tied to the cieling light).
* MickeyMousing: Almost every episode does this, often uninterrupted in its entirety.
** Played with in one scene of "Brother, Can You Spare An Ed?", where Edd provided Mickey Mousing on his pedal-steel guitar until Eddy told him to knock it off.
* MiddleOfNowhereStreet: The cul-de-sac.
* MindScrew: "Don't look now, but there's a cow hovering just overhead..."
* MinimalistCast: One of the longest-running series (animated or otherwise) to have one!
** Finally ended in TheMovie/Series Finale with [[spoiler:Eddy's brother.]]
** There's also [[ImaginaryFriend Jib]], if he counts.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: After the Eds wrongfully accuse Jonny of being a "serial toucher" and sentence him to rolling down a hill in a giant tire, Eddy justifies it by citing the trope. [[spoiler:Given his rather shocking history of abuse from his older brother he might justifiably believe it.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: Frequently done by the cul-de-sac kids. No matter which of the Eds have wronged them, they are almost always punished as a group. Sarah excuses this at least once:
-->'''Sarah:''' Double D looked so innocent, but it's like they say, give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile.
* MissingEpisode: Three "Special Ed", which was finished but never aired due to (depending on who you ask) being either too surreal or "too real" for television. The other two, "Luck Be an Ed Tonight" and "A Room and an Ed" may have never even left the planning stages.
* MouthCam: In one of the episodes, they're filming a video, Ed randomly swallows the camera (shouting "Man the helms! DIVE, DIVE!"), ending up in a shot from inside his stomach as Edd digs it back out.
* MultiCharacterTitle
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Ed, Sarah, and Rolf have virtually no muscles but are incredibly strong, but Rolf does when he flexes or becomes enraged.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Happens a lot.
* [[NameAndName Name, Name and Name]]
* NauseaFuel: {{In-universe}}: when Ed gobbles all the food in the Cul-De-Sac, Eddy makes a scam of selling it back to the hungry neighbors: he roots around in Ed's stomach and yanks out the requested item. Edd is noticeably sick.
* NoExportForYou: TheMovie, which didn't reach the United States until November 8th, 2009.
** {{Inverted}}, then, as this is an American show. (Well, it's made in Canada, but it doesn't air over there, which is another inversion I suppose.)
* NoFourthWall: If the series didn't drive this home, then TheMovie most certainly did, with a glaring example at the start of it: When the Eds try to escape from the kids in the beginning, they find a emergency glass in Eddy's brother's room, reading "Break Glass in Case of Movie".
-->'''Double D:''' In Case Of Movie, Break Glass?!\\
'''Eddy:''' Bingo! [[CrazyPrepared My bro's always prepared!]]\\
(Item turns out to be a peanut. Beat)\\
'''Eddy:''' A peanut?\\
'''Ed:''' [[SelfDeprecation "Cheap movie."]]
** Done again in TheMovie [[spoiler:at the end when Edd, commenting on how they finally got a favorable outcome, says it only took them "a hundred and thirty episodes, four specials and a movie" to do so.]]
*** Let's sing a song!
** And before that, references are made to the time left in the movie and getting to the Eds/Eddy's Brother before it runs out.
** Also, during TheStinger, [[spoiler:Plank tells Jonny they can't go through with their revenge scheme because there's no time left in the movie.]]
** An example in which Edd referred to the events of "Ed in a Half-Shell", in which Eddy "took Jimmy under his wing". Eddy's response? "Oh yeah! Didn't we get an Emmy for that episode?"
** Played insanely straight in the episode "One Plus One Equals Ed", where the trio finds multiple quirks about the animated scenery before turning into some major Nightmare Fuel.
** Near the end of "Momma's Little Ed", Eddy blames his rudeness on Kevin, despite being told by Edd "Kevin wasn't ''in'' this episode, Eddy."
** Oddly averted in an early episode where Eddy loudly declares "[[ThisIsReality This ain't a cartoon!]]" after Ed drops an anvil.
** In 'Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?' Edd asks, "O, what dastardly seed have we sown?" leading Eddy to comment, "[[WhoWritesThisCrap Who writes this guy's stuff?]]"
*** Earlier in that same episode, Eddy offers to take some money off of Ed's "poorly-drawn fingers".
** In "Ed Overboard", the Urban Rangers are enlisted in rescuing Ed from the Kanker Sisters, but they ask that the Eds be temporarily sworn in, leading to the line:
-->'''Eddy:''' ''I'd swear, but [[MediaWatchdogs Standards]] won't let me.''
* [[spoiler:NoHoldsBarredBeatdown]]: [[spoiler:The climax of TheMovie.]]
* NoNameGiven: Eddy's Brother is never given a name [[spoiler:even in the movie, where credits even state him as "Eddy's Brother".]]
** Actually in an interview, Antonucci was asked specifically what Eddy's brother was named and he gave an actual name. [[spoiler:He called him simply Mathew/Matthew]]
* NoodleIncident: The plot of TheMovie centers around this. It was evidently so horrifying, so far beyond what the Eds usually do, that the kids aren't looking for their money back, they want to '''kill''' them.
** Also, whatever Plank did in the election episode.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Subverted in "Take this Ed and Shove It" which implies that the entire series is childhood memories being told by aged versions of the Eds. While playing cribbage, no less.
-->'''Old Ed:''' CRIBBAGE GIVES ME GAS!
** Interestingly, that episode was originally meant to be the series finale, but ultimately wound up as just another episode.
* NotSoHarmless: Crybaby Jimmy turned out to be quite the MagnificentBastard after being trained by the Eds.
** How badly he pwned Edd in "A Fistful of Ed".
*** Doesn't say much, considering Edd is a weakling himself and thought it was only a stage fight.
**** But the other kids didn't know that at the time.
** [[spoiler:Jimmy]] in 'If It Smells Like an Ed' constructs quite the EvilPlan seemingly on the fly.
-->'''[[spoiler:Jimmy]]:''' Yes! It was me! And I'd do it again!
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: There are times when it seems that Plank is more than just a piece of wood.
** Ed's imaginary friend Jib is a straighter example. No one believed he existed until he beat up Eddy.
* OhCrap: Double D gets one [[spoiler:immediately after the reveal of Eddy's brother as a jerk]] and then ''everyone else'' gets one when [[spoiler:Eddy's brother uses Eddy to beat Double D. And that "everybody" includes Ed, all of the Cul-De-Sac kids ''and'' the Kanker Sisters.]]
** And before any of that, Eddy gives one when [[spoiler:His brother asked him to play Uncle.]]
** In an earlier episode, where Rolf gives his cursed phone to Eddy, a runaway ice cream cart bursts into his room, bounces off a chair, bounces off the ''ceiling'', and lands squarely on Eddy. The look on his face before contact can only be described as this.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Sarah and Jimmy are apparently old enough to attend middle school.
* OncePerEpisode: Jimmy has a bandage in a different spot in EVERY episode. This is to show (outside of the episodes) that he's extremely accident prone.
** Every episode opens with one or more of the Eds doing something strange, or some sort of scam, that has almost nothing to do with the rest of the episode and only occasionally setting up a completely different plot.
* OneSteveLimit: As we can see in the episode title, this has been averted, leading to:
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Double D" (Edd)
** Although in a single instance in the first episode, Eddy does say Edd's name as announced in the title, when complaining about having to wear bunny slippers into Edd's room.
* OnlyOneName: Other than the Kanker Sisters and Nazz, whose surname and middle name are revealed in the movie, none of the characters seem to have surnames.
* OvenLogic: In "Oath to an Ed", Eddy did this with a microwaveable burrito, five seconds after he'd already delegated the task to The Smart Guy. It ended up imploding on them. No burrito merit badge for them.
* PassThePopcorn
-->'''Eddy:''' ''What do I look like, some popcorn fairy!?''
** In an earlier episode, where Ed {{sleepwalk|ing}}s and eats the entire Cul-De-Sac's food supply.:
-->'''Eddy:''' Take a seat Sockhead, to the greatest show on Earth! *whips out some popcorn*\\
'''Edd:''' ...Are you gonna share those?
* PeelingPotatoes: "Will Work for Ed". Ed's first job on Rolf's farm.
-->'''Rolf:''' Behold the potato! Bow to this fruit of the earth, and then peel it as if it were the last task of your miserable life!
* PersonalRaincloud: Jimmy had one in "Tinker Ed" after he found out fairy tales aren't real.
* PerspectiveMagic "One + One = ED".
* PianoDrop: To get to the candy store, Eddy takes a shortcut through Jimmy's yard and runs under a ladder. Jimmy's "garden in the sky' then falls but misses Eddy. Eddy then starts to run, only to have a piano fall on him.
-->'''Kevin:''' That's for gobbling all over my bike, dork!
* PowerTrio
** ComicTrio: The Eds form one, with Eddy as the {{Schemer}}, Ed as the DumbMuscle, and Edd as the NoRespectGuy.
* PrankInjuries: in TheMovie when the trio were in the gag factory.
* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse:
-->'''[[spoiler:Eddy's Brother]]:''' Do Mom and Dad know you're here?...\\
'''Eddy:''' As if.\\
'''[[spoiler:Eddy's Brother]]:''' Does ''anyone'' know you're here?\\
'''Eddy:''' Only these losers.
* HereWeGoAgain: "The Ed-Touchables", "Ed, Ed, And Away", "Luck of the Ed", and "Thick As An Ed" all end this way.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Subtle suggestions are made throughout the show that Kevin's {{Jerkass}} behavior is a result of constant harrassment from the Eds. In "See No Ed" he becomes increasingly suspicious after the Eds dissappear for an extensive period time, to the point of becoming a paranoid wreck convinced of the Eds preparing to scam him at every turn. [[spoiler:His point of view changes after witnessing Eddy's own FreudianExcuse in TheMovie however.]]
-->'''Kevin:''' COME OUT, EDDY, SO I CAN POUND YA!!!
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Eddy's brother.
** Averted when Eddy's Brother finally appears in the movie.
* HiddenDepths: May, according to the Valentines day episode.
** [[spoiler:Eddy]] was revealed to have these in TheMovie.
** In one episode, Nazz surprises everyone by quoting the Workers Rights Act, saying "A babysitter's gotta know these things!" afterwards.
* HighPressureEmotion: In "Oath to an Ed", Sarah drives Eddy into this when he is trying to earn a badge.
* HoldUpYourScore
* HumongousMecha: Double D has successfully built at least two of them--one in "One of Those Eds", and a T-Rex mecha in one of the flashback sequences in "The Good Ol' Ed".
* HypnoFool: In one episode, everyone but the Kanker Sisters and Jonny. Yes, even [[CompanionCube Plank]].
* HypocriticalHumor: The first scene in "Know It All Ed", where the Eds find a box of turkey basters, er, Canadian squirt guns:
-->'''Eddy:''' (holding up a turkey baster) What we have here is a squirt gun.\\
'''Edd:''' ''Please'', a squirt gun?\\
'''Eddy:''' What? Yeah! A ''Canadian'' squirt gun!\\
'''Ed:''' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R78l6ZOPy9o Canadians are weird!]]\\
'''Eddy:''' Watch and learn, boys. Just fill...\\
'''Edd:''' Even if they were Canadian, Heaven forbid, I don't think they're...\\
'''Eddy:''' (squirts Edd) And squirt! Canadian style!
** The hypocrisy comes from the fact that this show was made by Canadians.
** Antonucci, the creator of the show, is an Italian immigrant to Canada.
** One episode focuses on Eddy trying to prevent Kevin from revealing his EmbarrassingMiddleName (Skipper). After it's outed, Edd tries to comfort Eddy by saying that he has an EMN too (Marian). As soon as he learns it, Eddy shouts it out for all the cul-de-sac to hear.
* IdeaBulb: "High-Heeled Eds". While trying to think up a way to scam Sarah, Nazz and Jimmy, Eddy gets one, though it flickers out briefly until he adjusts it.
** Also in "It Came From Outer Ed". Ed gets an idea for a scam and holds up some turf over his head while saying, "Boing! It's a light bulb!"
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every title is a play on a popular phrase, or the title of a related work, with "Ed" replacing at least one syllable.
* IdiotBall: Everyone's held it at least once, but Eddy's the one who usually holds it.
* ImpossibleLeavening: In "An Ed Too Many", the Eds make pizza. Eddy ignores Edd's instructions for how much yeast to use for the dough, pouring in the entire container. The thing rises so much that Eddy's fist gets caught in the thing when he tries to punch it down. They have to have Ed bellyflop on the thing to press it down enough.
* {{Improv}}: A surprisingly notable ''AVERSION'' of this for the series in whole. Despite the completely random lines that Ed and some of the other characters say throughout the series, every last one of them was written into the script first. Ed's voice actor, MattHill, once explained that Danny Antonucci did not allow the actors to improv or ad-lib even the smallest amount. This once lead to a recording session lasting '''''FIFTY-SIX''''' takes before Danny finally thought that the delivery was perfect to use for the episode.
* IronButtmonkey: Whoever's the ButtMonkey of the week becomes this, but it's usually the Eds.
* ItAmusedMe: The reason why Kevin popped the bubblegum bubble that Ed, Eddy, and Jonny were riding in at the time in "For Your Ed Only". [[spoiler:He gets a minor comeuppance later on when the Eds tie him to a tree after he eavesdrops on them over Sarah's diary.]]
* IWishedYouWereDead: G-rated variant in "See No Ed", where the Eds seem to have disappeared:
-->'''Jimmy''': I have a confession: I've wished for this every birthday. Might it have come true?
* JerkassFacade: [[spoiler:Eddy, who reveals in the movie that he was only acting like a jerk because he thought he'd be cool if he acted like his brother.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eddy is this at times. He's greedy and arrogant, but he does have his moments where he shows he genuinely cares about his friends.
** Likewise, BrattyHalfPint Sarah may be a total jerk towards the Eds (And downright abusive/manipulative towards Ed), but she shows genuine kindness and concern over her friend Jimmy. She does care about Ed deep down, such as one episode where the Eds were trapped in a "haunted" house and pretending to be attacked by ghosts, she squeals, "Somebody save my idiot brother!"
*** And Kevin seems to have been somewhat of a not-so-nice nice kid either. However, towards the [[JustForPun Ed]] of the movie, he finally forgives the Eds and starts acting nicer towards them. Plus, he's good friends with Rolf, and will lend him a hand when needed. And with three exceptions, he seems to be pretty generous with the mountain of jawbreakers in his garage.
*** And in a couple episodes, Kevin can be seen getting along with Double D, such as when Kevin strikes up a conversation with Double D while fixing his bike (albeit calling him "Dork" when he sees that Double D has disappeared), and Double D accidentally-on-purpose dropping the key to Eddy's house so Kevin can get revenge on Eddy for tormenting him while he was grounded (and so Double D could also get revenge on Eddy for [[{{Jerkass}} making him think he had a fatal disease]]).
* {{Kaiju}}: Ed's a small-scale one of these in "The Day The Ed Stood Still", with some [[{{Aliens}} Xenomorph]] for flavor. The Mis-Ed-Ventures game would later feature a level with Ed's monster "form" playing this straight.
* KarmaHoudini: The Kids and the Kankers can do ANYTHING they wish to do and NEVER get punished for it, especially Kevin and Sarah. The Eds, meanwhile, CantGetAwayWithNuthin.
** Edd gets a minor one in "Smile For the Ed" when Eddy gets a week's detention for impersonating the principal, which Edd actually did (though Edd was trying to help).
** In TheMovie Kevin complains that the Eds are supposedly going to get away with their antics "again", [[OffscreenVillainy suggesting they have managed to get off scot free in some unseen incidents]].
** Averted when Jimmy established a character developing moment the Eds would NOT forget when he planned out a grand scheme that placed the blame for numerous mishaps on them (even though they were innocent) just because Eddy gave him a wedgie at the start of the episode, though he gains a very slight punishment himself at the very end.
* KidsAreCruel: Everyone on the show has been known to treat each other like total crap. No one on the show is safe from teasing, bullying, getting beat up or even sexual harassment (which is always from the Kanker sisters).
** This is taken to the nadir in "Out With the Old, In With the Ed" when Rolf chops down Edd's door with an ''axe'', and the kids rob his school supply closet bare. [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Neighborhood?]]
* {{Kidanova}}: Eddy tries, as does Kevin, who's only slightly more successful.
* KnightTemplar: The kids in TheMovie, [[spoiler:especially Jonny.]]
* LampshadeHanging: And how!
** In response to Edd's suggestion to go to his house to watch a movie, Eddy responds with "What? [[JustEatGilligan And ruin the plot?]]"
-->'''Eddy:''' You're supposed to be the smart one, Double D; you're messing up our group dynamics!
** After slipping on a banana peel in another episode:
-->'''Kevin:''' ''Man'' [[OverusedRunningGag that's old]]!
* LargeHam:
** Ed has shades of this in Season 5 and the movie, though he still retains his Funny line generator.
** How is Rolf not under here yet? Just listen to him! He's as a large a ham as a ham can get.
** It's not just these two characters. Everybody on the show had at least one LargeHam moment each throughout the series.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Eds get struck down by this nearly all the time.
* LeadIn: Every episode.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Not a music example, but the makers seem to like giving Eddy the sound of someone shuffling across a basketball court when he's running.
** Ed sounds like a horse galloping most of the time when he runs. When he's not sounding like a car with a faulty clutch. Actually, Ed makes a lot of horse sounds come to think of it...
** Sarah tends to get wildcat noises, especially when enraged.
** For actual musical examples, the Eds get an excerpt of their theme song whenever they're up to one of their (well, Eddy's, really) schemes. Sarah usually gets a dainty piano jingle whenever she's on screen.
* LightningBruiser: Kevin is perhaps the fourth physically strongest character in the series, but his prime trait is riding his bicycle at ludicrous speed.
** Ed as well in Mis-Ed-Ventures when using Batter-Ed.
* LiteralMetaphor:
-->'''Eddy:''' Keep your shorts on, Ed! No seriously, keep your shorts on. ''(pulls up Ed's trousers)''
* LongBusTrip: This is how the episode with Ed's imaginary friend Jib is resolved.
* LustfulMelt: Performed by Eddy and Kevin in "Pop Goes the Ed", when they first see Naz in her bikini.
* MacGuffin: Jawbreakers.
* MadeOfIron: ''Every single character'' are able to survive things from being crushed by a ''house'' to ''having their own face ripped off''.
** Averted with [[spoiler:Eddy's Brother. He delivered a pretty sickening NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Eddy and Eddy survived with bruises and marks. In his brother's case, one hit with a door and he was out cold.]]
* {{Malaproper}}:
** In one episode, Ed pretends to be Eddy, Edd pretends to be Ed, and Eddy pretends to be Edd, with hilarious results. Trying to use a larger vocabulary like Edd, Eddy has a few of these.
** In another episode:
-->'''Ed:''' Allow me to re-irritate.
* MattressTagGag: In one episode, Eddy torments goodie two shoes Double D by ripping a tag off his mattress (while Double D's hat was tied to the cieling light).
* MickeyMousing: Almost every episode does this, often uninterrupted in its entirety.
** Played with in one scene of "Brother, Can You Spare An Ed?", where Edd provided Mickey Mousing on his pedal-steel guitar until Eddy told him to knock it off.
* MiddleOfNowhereStreet: The cul-de-sac.
* MindScrew: "Don't look now, but there's a cow hovering just overhead..."
* MinimalistCast: One of the longest-running series (animated or otherwise) to have one!
** Finally ended in TheMovie/Series Finale with [[spoiler:Eddy's brother.]]
** There's also [[ImaginaryFriend Jib]], if he counts.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: After the Eds wrongfully accuse Jonny of being a "serial toucher" and sentence him to rolling down a hill in a giant tire, Eddy justifies it by citing the trope. [[spoiler:Given his rather shocking history of abuse from his older brother he might justifiably believe it.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: Frequently done by the cul-de-sac kids. No matter which of the Eds have wronged them, they are almost always punished as a group. Sarah excuses this at least once:
-->'''Sarah:''' Double D looked so innocent, but it's like they say, give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile.
* MissingEpisode: Three "Special Ed", which was finished but never aired due to (depending on who you ask) being either too surreal or "too real" for television. The other two, "Luck Be an Ed Tonight" and "A Room and an Ed" may have never even left the planning stages.
* MouthCam: In one of the episodes, they're filming a video, Ed randomly swallows the camera (shouting "Man the helms! DIVE, DIVE!"), ending up in a shot from inside his stomach as Edd digs it back out.
* MultiCharacterTitle
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Ed, Sarah, and Rolf have virtually no muscles but are incredibly strong, but Rolf does when he flexes or becomes enraged.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Happens a lot.
* [[NameAndName Name, Name and Name]]
* NauseaFuel: {{In-universe}}: when Ed gobbles all the food in the Cul-De-Sac, Eddy makes a scam of selling it back to the hungry neighbors: he roots around in Ed's stomach and yanks out the requested item. Edd is noticeably sick.
* NoExportForYou: TheMovie, which didn't reach the United States until November 8th, 2009.
** {{Inverted}}, then, as this is an American show. (Well, it's made in Canada, but it doesn't air over there, which is another inversion I suppose.)
* NoFourthWall: If the series didn't drive this home, then TheMovie most certainly did, with a glaring example at the start of it: When the Eds try to escape from the kids in the beginning, they find a emergency glass in Eddy's brother's room, reading "Break Glass in Case of Movie".
-->'''Double D:''' In Case Of Movie, Break Glass?!\\
'''Eddy:''' Bingo! [[CrazyPrepared My bro's always prepared!]]\\
(Item turns out to be a peanut. Beat)\\
'''Eddy:''' A peanut?\\
'''Ed:''' [[SelfDeprecation "Cheap movie."]]
** Done again in TheMovie [[spoiler:at the end when Edd, commenting on how they finally got a favorable outcome, says it only took them "a hundred and thirty episodes, four specials and a movie" to do so.]]
*** Let's sing a song!
** And before that, references are made to the time left in the movie and getting to the Eds/Eddy's Brother before it runs out.
** Also, during TheStinger, [[spoiler:Plank tells Jonny they can't go through with their revenge scheme because there's no time left in the movie.]]
** An example in which Edd referred to the events of "Ed in a Half-Shell", in which Eddy "took Jimmy under his wing". Eddy's response? "Oh yeah! Didn't we get an Emmy for that episode?"
** Played insanely straight in the episode "One Plus One Equals Ed", where the trio finds multiple quirks about the animated scenery before turning into some major Nightmare Fuel.
** Near the end of "Momma's Little Ed", Eddy blames his rudeness on Kevin, despite being told by Edd "Kevin wasn't ''in'' this episode, Eddy."
** Oddly averted in an early episode where Eddy loudly declares "[[ThisIsReality This ain't a cartoon!]]" after Ed drops an anvil.
** In 'Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?' Edd asks, "O, what dastardly seed have we sown?" leading Eddy to comment, "[[WhoWritesThisCrap Who writes this guy's stuff?]]"
