* The way the Ed’s run are reflections of their personalities. Eddy runs with arms out like he’s trying to grab something, showing his aggressive and greedy nature. Double D has his arms up near his chest, a more defensive position showing his timid nature. Ed runs with his entire upper body at a slant, showing his simplistic nature as he can’t see where he’s going. This also means that he’s looking up at the sky, appropriate for someone who always has his head in the clouds.

Added DiffLines:

* As funny as the visual of Ed's parents taking the stairs away while he is grounded is in "Three Squares and an Ed," it also brings some not-so-funny implications. At one point in the episode, Eddy and Double D manage to sneak Ed outside, only for Ed to freak out and immediately retreat back to his room through the window, revealing that it was open the whole time. This, along with the apparent message Ed's parents are sending by taking the stairs away, shows just how broken Ed has been by his own family. "That's disturbing" indeed.


Added DiffLines:

** In a specific instance, there's Jib's {{No Holds Barred Beatdown}} of Eddy in "Who Let the Ed In?". As Jib is flinging Eddy around, Eddy begins to shout "Uncle!" to try and get him to stop. Come the movie, and we learn that thanks to his brother, Eddy is all-too-familiar with that particular "game."

* Sarah's constant vendetta against Eddy even when he does nothing to provoke her does make sense when you realize that one of Eddy's past scams damaged her best friend Jimmy's teeth and caused him to need dental treatment. Sarah is essentially just doing PayEvilUntoEvil on Eddy as retribution for what he did to Jimmy.

** And why don't Ed and Edd get allowances? Well, we've seen in "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?" that ''Sarah'' gets paid while Ed doesn't, presumably because she's [[ParentalFavoritism Mom and Dad's favorite]]. As for Double D, perhaps his parents are so strict that they want to see him ''work'' for his money (which he actually does, to be fair).

* In the "Big Picture Show"'s opening, the Eds are trapped in Eddy's brother's room and are naturally trying to escape. The problem is every possible alternate entrance is bricked up. In other words, the room is full of false hope. And false hope for sanctuary and protection is what drives them to Eddy's brother. The room was actually a clever metaphor and foreshadowing of Eddy's brother in fact being a vicious bully, who would have made their lives surely worse than the Cul-de-sac kids every could. Furthermore, Ed taking the initiative to use the non-working car to escape, with his own strength and effort, also foreshadows it's ultimately him to take down Eddy's brother and save the day.

* "Once Upon an Ed" features Ed's unusual account where the Kankers have been [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever mutated into giants]] [[NuclearNasty due to eating radioactive mashed potatoes]]. Among their newfound abilities, Marie Kanker has chickens in her armpits that shoot beams that transform whatever they hit into toiletries (which are frightening to [[HatesBaths Ed]]). On one hand, it seems like a random and disgusting power that fits with Ed's overactive imagination and the Kankers' poor hygiene. But considering Ed loves chickens, it also demonstrates just how monstrous the Kankers are from his perspective, as they weaponize and corrupt something he loves.

* If instead you go with the theory that Plank is not alive, that means everything "Plank" says and does are really coming from Jonny. While Jonny is usually blissful and upbeat, Plank tends to be crafty, suspicious, and downright nasty to other people. That means Jonny is using Plank to channel his negative emotions and may be how he really feels about everything and everyone deep down. Considering that he's the one at the bottom of the social pecking order when the Ed's aren't around, Plank might be a coping mechanism he developed due to bullying and loneliness.

** The above also gets an additional layer when you also consider that scams for Eddy can also be considered something he does for his own ego as well. It's been noted several times that he could have easily succeeded if he knew when to cut his losses, or focused less on trying to swindle people. So why does he do it anyways? Because his scams are also as much motivated by a subconscious desire on his part to get one over the people who torment him every day, proving to them just how stupid they are in order to satiate his fragile ego. IT also makes sense then that he'd also have so much difficulty maintaining any sort of care or concern for their safety when things go wrong, or deny any responsibility: In his mind, why would he want to do so, when they've done nothing good for him? To him, there's no point in trying to be genuine and do a profitable enterprise for people who hate him. Paradoxically, this also more or less ensured he would never succeed in the long term, since this mindset would only make him even more despised.

In all probability, the Eds' respective parents (Ed's and Double D's in particular, as Eddy is likely known as a troublemaker among the adults) specifically requested that the Eds be put into separate homerooms from each other in attempt to get the three away from each other.

* In ''[[Recap/EdEddNEddyS5E1AllEdsAreOff All Eds are Off]]'', of all the kids, ''Eddy'' has the easiest time keeping [[NoIndoorVoice his quirk]] in check during the bet, only nearly slipping up two times and quickly catching himself before he does. He only ends up losing because he thought he had already won. It'd be easy to say it's because of RuleOfDrama, but given what we know of Eddy from the movie, that he deliberately copied his brother's mannerism because he thought it would make the other kids respect him, it actually makes ''perfect sense'' that Eddy has the easiest time shaking off his quirk, since it's already just an act and likely ''isn't'' how he normally is when not around the kids.
** Also, Eddy isn't as emotionally attached to his quirk like the rest. Ed loves gravy, Edd likes fancy words and feels pride in his intelligence, Rolf loves meat, Kevin hates the Eds deeply and Johnny loves Plank as his best friend. While shouting is a defining trait for Eddy, it doesn't give him much pleasure, if at all.

* In "X Marks the Ed" it might seem that Ed wanting his head shrunken just like Eddy's might've been out of pure stupidity, but keep in mind, Ed is a huge horror fan and even tried to [[NightmareFetishist start a curse]] in one episode. Maybe the reason he wanted a small head is because he wanted to experience some BodyHorror.
* In "Button Yer Ed" Rolf stated he can understand Eddy's ringing of the bell like a language, but actually he didn't, at least not when it came to most guesses. It might seem like Rolf has no clue about communication with bell ringing, but here's the thing: Rolf comes from a different country. Maybe he did learn a bell ringing language there. The Eds never heard of a bell ringing language before, so Eddy couldn't have known about it. What happened is that Eddy rung the bell without following the rules of said language and the result was that he communicated random things in a language he didn't know.

** Ed, in particular, has it hard. His nightmare in "Rock-a-Bye Ed" shows what he normally has to deal with at home, and it's not a pretty picture. Any time Ed tries to stand up to Sarah (in this case, stopping her from breaking his paddleball), she immediately goes to their mom and [[BitchInSheepsClothing puts on an innocent act]], and despite Ed's pleas to be believed, his mom [[TheUnfavorite takes Sarah's side]]; something that's strongly hinted to happen regularly. Once you get past the mom having Jonny's face, Ed's dream shows that he is ''terrified'' of his own mother, along with having a {{Bratty Half Pint}} for a sister and a dad who's completely apathetic at best. The fact that Ed is a {{Gentle Giant}} only makes it even sadder.

Unless he has a fear of teenagers, I doubt Eddy would feel disgust over girls who are just a year or two, even three, older than him. He does have a crush on Nazz after all, and the "I'm a minor!" thing is ridiculous since the Kankers are just minors themselves.
