History Trivia / EdEddnEddy

*** Jonny and the Eds are around 12 or 13.

** Jonny was based on a loner friend who carried around a blanket a'la [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Linus]].

** Jonny's voiced by a woman in Italian, Japanese, both Spanish dubs of the show, Dutch, and French.

* TrollingCreator: In an interview with Danny Antonucci he said that the movie would reveal what was under Double D's hat, We never do.

** ''A Room and an Ed'' -- Sarah and Jimmy kicked Ed while his and Sarah's are away so that Sarah can have the house to herself. Eddy eventually swings into action, fed up with Sarah's brattiness.

** There was an unnamed where Eddy tries starting his own religion, but this was canned by Cartoon Network because they knew it would've sparked a huge controversy.

*** Plank's 100.

** In 2001, a rumor about an MissingEpisode known only as "The Scarecrow Boy Episode" surfaced. The story is that Sarah puts on a play - her own version of ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' - casting herself as Dorothy, Jimmy as the Tin Man, Eddy as the Cowardly Lion (apparently he was also tied to a chair the whole time because he kept trying to walk out on Sarah), Ed as the Scarecrow, and Double D as the director. Sarah became outraged with Ed continuously blowing his lines, and ended up kicking and locking him out of the house (while still in costume); when Kevin and other kids in the cul-de-sac see Ed roaming around, they keep calling him "Scarecrow Boy", which somehow causes Ed to grow stiffer and stiffer each time he heard the name. Eventually, the episode ends with Plank nestled into the ground, and Ed standing on top with his arms straight out, as if he has become a real scarecrow. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that remotely proves such an episode exists, though many fans swear to have seen it, and that it only aired once.

** Concept art pages featuring Rolf, Jimmy, Sarah, Jonny, Nazz, and Kevin labeled them as "Pals of the Eds." While Rolf, Jimmy, Jonny, and Nazz are generally friendly with the Eds unless provoked, Sarah and Kevin were [[SitcomArchNemesis anything but pals to the Eds]]. This implies that the two was nowhere near as antagonistic towards the Eds during development than they would be.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Ed, the GentleGiant is voiced by Creator/MattHill, while Eddy, TheNapoleon is voiced by Creator/TonySampson. Sampson is the tallest among the trio's voice actors while Hill is the shortest, to the point that he even physically [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII portrayed a Ninja Turtle]] (though many fans have jokingly stated that Sampson looks the most like the character he voices).

* CreatorsFavorite: Danny Antonucci cites Rolf as his favorite character, as he's an AuthorAvatar (Antonucci is part of an Italian immigrant family) who's backstory and quirky traditions are loosely based on Antonucci himself and his relatives.

* TeensAreMonsters: According to [[WordOfGod Word of God]], Lee is 15, May is 13, and Marie is 14. They also regularly sexually assault the Eds.

* TheDanza: In the Italian dub, Ed is voiced by Edoardo Nevola.

* ShortRunInPeru: As mentioned above, Cartoon Network didn't broadcast in Canada during the show's run and wouldn't have a Canadian feed until 2012. In the interim, Creator/{{Teletoon}} briefly aired the show in 2002, but it was pulled for unknown reasons after a few weeks. Ironically, they aired the ''Big Picture Show'' before Cartoon Network did.
* ShortRunInPeru: The Movie didn't air in the United States for months...long after Australia, all three Scandinavian countries, and parts of Asia got their hands on it.

** There are several other {{Missing Episode}}s as well. "Special Ed", which was finished but never aired due to (depending on who you ask) being either too surreal or "too real" for television. Not much else is known about it other than the fact that it might have been ADayInTheLimelight for Ed, and may have even been an explanation of why Ed is the way he is, hence the "too real" explanation. The other two, "Luck Be an Ed Tonight" and "A Room and an Ed", were either planned, but scrapped or only exist as fan rumors.

** He ''probably'' (hopefully) didn't know anyone exactly like Eddy's Brother.

* ReleaseDateChange: The show was originally slated to premiere on November 7, 1998, production issues led to its premiere being delayed until January 4, 1999.

* DescendedCreator: Series creator Danny Antonucci provides the whistling in the theme song.

* UnfinishedEpisode: There are four other unmade episodes that are known: 'A Room and an Ed' in which Sarah and Jimmy evict Ed out while Ed and Sarah's parents are away so Sarah can have the house to herself, causing Eddy to swing into action, completely fed up with Sarah's brattiness. 'Luck be an Ed Tonight' in which Ed's horoscope tells him he'll have a lucky day, which leads Eddy to milk it for all it's worth. 'The Amazing Ed' a talent show episode, little is known beyond that. And an unnamed episode in which Eddy attempts to start his own religion, canned by Cartoon Network because they knew it would have sparked a huge controversy.

** The production of the previously ordered sixth season of the series was replaced by the 90-minute television film, ''Big Picture Show'', not because of a lack of interest in new episodes, but rather because the entire a.k.a. Cartoon staff was occupied with the making of the film. Cartoon Network agreed to Antonucci's decision to make a film rather than the sixth season. Two sixth-season episodes were already in production, though, so Cartoon Network aired them as a special event in June 2008.

** Antonucci said regarding the ages of the characters, Johnny and the Eds are twelve to thirteen, Jimmy and Sarah are six to seven, Kevin, Nazz, and Rolf are fifteen, Plank is one hundred, and the Kankers are thirteen to fifteen.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: All the characters are based on Danny Antonucci's family members or people he knew growing up, as well as Antonucci himself. The Eds were all aspects of his personality (Edward being his middle name), Jimmy was based on a cousin, Jonny was based on a loner friend who carried around a blanket a'la [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Linus]] and Rolf was based on his experiences as an immigrant. The Kankers, meanwhile, were based on a group of girls who harassed him in 7th grade and named after his three aunts (he noted that "Mae, Lee and Marie" had the same rhythm of "Ed, Edd and Eddy"). He ''probably'' (hopefully) didn't know anyone exactly like Eddy's Brother.

* TrollingCreator: In an interview with Danny Antonucci for the movie he said that the movie would reveal what was under Double D's hat, We never do.

* Ed, Edd n Eddy is the longest running ''Creator/CartoonNetwork'' series, lasting for ten years, ten months and 4 days.

* ''Ed, Edd n' Eddy'' holds the distinction of being the last cartoon aired on network television to be done with traditional animation cels, holding out until ''2004'', when many animated works had made the jump to digital or CGI. This was done via Antonucci's own request, as he felt that digital and CGI didn't capture the subtle imperfections animators made during the process that helped give traditional animated works an extra charm and/or texture. However, the rising cost of animation with networks downsizing their animation budget ultimately forced him to relent starting with Season 5, with the series jumping to digital.
