History YMMV / EdEddNEddyS3E21BrotherCanYouSpareAnEd

* FridgeBrilliance: It would be considered completely out of character by quite a few that [[{{NiceGuy}} Rolf]], [[{{NiceGirl}} Nazz]] and [[{{CheerfulChild}} Jonny]], of all people, show up to cruelly hit Eddy against the tree branch at the end, until you consider the fact that they were probably told by Sarah, Jimmy or Edd about the crap Eddy tried to pull and [[{{KickTheSonOfABitch}} wanted to make Eddy pay.]]

* TakeThatScrappy: Okay, so maybe they had to turn him into the worst caricature of his usual greedy self to make it happen, but you can't say this isn't one time where Eddy unequivocally ''earned'' his ass-whooping at the end.

* MisaimedFandom: Fans tend to feel sorry for Eddy for his karmic retribution at the end of the episode, while ignoring the fact that Eddy wouldn't have gotten the retribution had he not pestered Ed to buy jawbreakers. They argue that Sarah shouldn't have trusted Ed with her money and that the whole episode was her fault. While Sarah could've picked a better person to entrust her money to, Ed has actually been shown to be fairly responsible when it comes to caring about her. Not only was he more than happy to do the favor for her, but he refused to even let Eddy hold the money. Only Eddy's constant pestering made him give in, and he was extremely apologetic about giving in. Regardless of how you feel about Sarah, it's unfair to demonize her for her (for once) justified anger towards Ed and Eddy spending her allowance money for themselves when she is, again, for once, not looking to cause the Eds trouble and actually made a reasonable request in the episode. It was Eddy who set the plot in motion with his greed and selfishness. There's also the fact that even after the Eds agreed to pay Sarah back, Eddy mistreated his friends in the process by making them {{butt monkey}}s of wedgee and pinata scams. Eddy was also attempting to keep the earned money for the scams for himself, rather than to pay Sarah back. Heck, even Edd mentioned that it was Eddy's fault that they even had to come up with ways to pay Sarah back in the first place. Really, episodes like this show that Eddy and Sarah no better than each other, and the only reason fans give Ed so much leeway is that’s he one of the three main characters.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: For once, Sarah has a right to be angry at Ed and Eddy for spending her money. Unfortunately for her, the fans don't find her very sympathetic to begin with. This is due to her {{jerkass}} behavior throughout the series, not to mention the fact that she actually trusted [[TheDitz Ed]] ''of all people'' with her money and didn't even seem to have any plans that kept her from going to the candy store herself.

* {{Wangst}}: Double D ends up feeling incredibly guilt-ridden for enjoying one of the jawbreakers once Eddy force-feeds him it. The jawbreaker was already bought (and in his mouth), though, so it wasn't like Double D was doing anything wrong just by savoring the taste of the jawbreaker. Granted, this is to be somewhat expected of him, considering that this is [[NervousWreck Double]] [[DramaQueen D]] we're talking about.
* WhatAnIdiot:
** Sarah was stupid for giving [[TheDitz Ed]] her money. For once her constant annoyance with him is completely understandable.
** Ed and Eddy also. Ed for spending the money on jawbreakers, and Eddy for pressuring Ed into spending the money. Don't they realize what Sarah would do to them if she doesn't get her fudge?
** Double D as well, for blabbering about integrity when he could have simply pointed out the hot water they would all land in if Ed spent the money on jawbreakers.
** Bonus points for Eddy for actually trying to ''keep the money'' he earned from his scam instead of paying Sarah back like he promised. There's a reason why he gains NoSympathy for his fate at the end of the episode.
