5	[[foldercontrol]]
6
7	[[folder:Tropes H to K]]
8	%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Nazz.
9	* HairTriggerTemper: Sarah and post-{{Flanderization}} Eddy are known for being short-tempered characters who yell a lot and get angry easily.
10	* HandSlidingDownTheGlass: Eddy's hand slides down the glass shower door as Lee starts kissing him in the shower.
11	* HarmlessLiquefaction:
12	** In "Pop Goes the Ed", when the boys try to cool off in a freezer. Sarah kicks them out as one large block of ice, which quickly melts in the sun... taking the boys with it.
13	** "One + One = Ed" had Jimmy melt down into a puddle because Eddy removed his "outer lines" (in other words, he pulled off of the ink outlines like they were wires and left the colored part to melt away). The episode later has Sarah confront Ed about it, holding Jimmy in a lemonade pitcher. [[spoiler:Turns out it was just their imagination and never happened...or did it?]]
14	--->'''Sarah:''' ''[yelling]'' Wait 'till I tell Mom what you did to Jimmy! ''[holds up pitcher]''\
15	'''Jimmy:''' Don't spill me!
16	* HeartbeatSoundtrack: In 'Run For Your Ed', after Double D realized that the [[MakesSenseInContext ship-in-a-bottle that got stuck on Ed's finger]] [[spoiler: belonged to the Kankers.]]
17	* HeadTurningBeauty: "Boys Will Be Eds", where all the boys (except for [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Jimmy]] and [[CelibateHero Rolf]]) are crazy about Nazz, and [[BlahBlahBlah barely hear what she's saying]] because [[ImAManICantHelpIt she's so cute when she's mad.]]
18	* HeightInsult: In "A Pinch to Grow an Ed", the children make fun of Eddy for his short stature. Sarah says he has the size of a doll; Kevin calls him a squirt; Rolf tells him he would be stomped on in a game of basketball.
19	* HereWeGoAgain: "The Ed-Touchables", "Dueling Eds", "Ed, Ed, And Away", "Luck of the Ed", and "Thick As An Ed" all end this way.
20	* HeroAntagonist: Captain Melonhead and Splinter the Wonder Wood (AKA Johnny and Plank) in "Robbin' Ed," [[spoiler: before (supposedly) going full on villain in the movie's VERY end.]]
21	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Subtle suggestions are made throughout the show that Kevin's {{Jerkass}} behavior is a result of constant harassment from the Eds. In "See No Ed" he becomes increasingly suspicious after the Eds disappear for an extensive period of time, to the point of becoming a paranoid wreck convinced the Eds are preparing to scam him at every turn. [[spoiler:His point of view changes after witnessing Eddy's own FreudianExcuse in TheMovie however.]]
22	-->'''Kevin:''' COME OUT, EDDY, SO I CAN POUND YA!
23	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Eddy's brother. [[spoiler: At least, until when he finally appears in the movie.]]
24	* HiddenDepths: May, according to the Valentines day episode.
25	** [[spoiler:Eddy]] was revealed to have these in TheMovie.
26	** In "Will Work For Ed", Nazz surprises everyone by quoting the Workers Rights Act, saying "A babysitter's gotta know these things!" afterwards.
27	** As [[DreadfulMusician horrible]] as Ed is on the Violin, he can play the flute well enough to get animals to follow him Pied Piper-style. An earlier episode[[note]]the one where Ed and Eddy write prank sticky note chores for Edd[[/note]] showed he is also insanely good at copying other people's handwriting, to the point where, when Eddy tries to confess to Edd who really wrote them, [[CassandraTruth Edd doesn't believe him.]]
28	* HighPressureEmotion: In "Oath to an Ed", [[SpoiledBrat Sarah]] drives Eddy into this when he is trying to earn a badge by mocking him until he shouts at her.
29	** Marie has undergone this at least twice, in "May I Have This Ed" and the Valentines Day Special; both times when she sees Edd with another girl.
30	* HoldUpYourScore: Done by Kevin in Season 3's "Rock-a-Bye Ed" where he acts as a judge for Nazz's Gymnastic Contest. He give Ed's complete wreck of a try a "d0rk" made out of a former "10".
31	* HumiliationConga: Kevin does this to Eddy on two separate occasions. The first one is during "Your Ed Here", [[EmbarrassingMiddleName when he learns that Eddy's middle name is "Skipper"]] he essentially blackmails Eddy for the entire episode to prevent him from telling the kids. He gradually forces Eddy to do more and more humiliating things, but decides to tell the kids anyway, who then all mock and tease him for his middle name. The second time is in "Smile for the Ed" when he causes Eddy to botch his school picture by calling him a dork at the last second. The botched photo makes the rounds at school and all the kids make fun of him for it.
32	* HurricaneOfPuns: The episode 'They call him Mr Ed' is about nothing but puns on the word 'Up', which then switches to the word 'Down', and climaxing when [[GoneHorriblyRight the Eds are all the way Up on the moon with no way Down.]]
33	* HumongousHeadedHammer: On one episode Rolf uses one of these combined with WeaponizedHeadgear called the Hat of Discipline, and thanks to the ToonPhysics of the show he leaves Double D flat as a pancake.
34	* HumongousMecha: Edd 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".
35	%%* HypercompetentSidekick: Edd is this to Eddy big time. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
36	* HyperspaceMallet: Rolf smacks Edd with the "Hat of Discipline", which is essentially a giant mallet-hat.
37	-->'''Edd:''' ...What is that, Rolf?\
38	'''Rolf:''' The Hat of Discipline. [[SuddenlyShouting DO YOU LIVE IN A CAVE?!]]
39	* HypnoFool: In Look Into My Eds, everyone but the Kanker Sisters and Jonny. Yes, even [[CompanionCube Plank]].
40	** Jonny came around to it eventually.
41	* HypocriticalHumor:
42	** A meta example in the first scene from "Know It All Ed", where the Eds find a box of turkey basters and try to sell them as "Canadian squirt guns", with Ed famously commenting "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R78l6ZOPy9o Canadians are weird!]]" The show, of course, was made ''by'' Canadians.
43	** "Your Ed Here" 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 one too (Marion). As soon as he learns it, Eddy shouts it out for all the cul-de-sac to hear.
44	** Jonny talks to a slab of wood, but is quick to call others crazy or weird.
45	** In "Pain in the Ed", after chastising Eddy that "underarm growth is a poor excuse for maturity" after the kids see right through his attempt to pass off carpeting as armpit hair, Edd immediately starts pulling pieces of carpeting out of the arms of his shirt.
46	* IdeaBulb:
47	** "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.
48	** 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!"
49	* [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Ed-iosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Every episode title is a play on a popular phrase, or the title of a related work, with "Ed" replacing at least one syllable.
50	* IdiotBall: Everyone's held it at least once, but Eddy's the one who usually holds it.
51	* 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 belly-flop on the thing to press it down enough.
52	* ImmuneToMindControl: In the episode where Eddy tries hypnotizing everyone in the cul-de-sac, his attempts to hypnotize Lee Kanker don't work. Why? "[[InsaneTrollLogic I eat my roughage!]]". In the same episode, Eddy tries to hypnotize Jonny, but fails. However, it works on [[CompanionCube Plank]].
53	* {{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, Creator/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.
54	* InflatingBodyGag:
55	** In the episode where the Eds are pretending to be one another, Ed (pretending to be Eddy) makes Eddy (pretending to be Edd) drink enough juice to fill a swimming pool causing him to become massively bloated.
56	--->'''Ed:''' (As Eddy) Kids will pay big money to ride a blimp! You're a genius, Double-D!
57	** Likewise, in an episode in which Ed and Edd are trying to make Eddy taller (due to the latter's hatred of being short), Ed convinces Eddy to eat an inflatable raft. As Edd points out: "Well, he's certainly... um... wider..."
58	* InMemoriam:
59	** The Season 3 episode "Dim Lit Ed" is dedicated to Shawn "Wilfrid" Godin, who died in 2001.
60	** The Season 6 episode "Look Before You Ed" is dedicated to Paul Boyd, who was shot and killed in 2007.
61	* InOneEarOutTheOther: Happens a few times. On one occasion Eddy sticks his hand clean through one of Ed's ears and out the other, and in another Eddy squirts a turkey baster at the kids the water passes through Sarah, Jimmy, and Johnny's ears.
62	** Ed has also managed to stick a celery stick and a giant StockFemurBone clear through his head between the ears.
63	* InsigniaRipOffRitual: Occurs at the end of "Oath to an Ed", when the Eds are booted out of the Urban Rangers. The flag is lowered to half-mast while Jimmy performs a drumroll. Rolf then strips Ed and Edd of their Wee Roach bandanas, though Eddy tries to get one over on him by taking his off and playing keepaway with it. Then are then shoved down a sidewalk covered in lard, slipping and flailing in panic all the while.
64	* InstantTurnOff: Happens in "One + One = Ed" when Eddy finds a bra.
65	-->'''Eddy:''' Woohoo! PG-13!\
66	'''Ed:''' That's my mom's, Eddy.\
67	'''Eddy:''' Ugh! (''drops bra in disgust'')
68	* InvertedTrope: The show inverts the popular MediumAwareness sub trope of only the craziest characters possessing it. Johnny 2X4 is the kookiest character on the show but he's the only one to be explicitly ignorant of his nature as a cartoon character. This CompanionCube Plank on the other hand is aware.
69	* InvisibleWall: In "They Call Him Mr. Ed", the Eds have built an office-like area with nothing but lines of tape indicating where walls would go. At one point Ed smacks right into one--much to Double D's surprise.
70	-->'''Ed:''' Oops! Forgot about the wall!
71	* IronButtmonkey: Whoever's the ButtMonkey of the week becomes this, but it's usually the Eds, but especially [[JerkassWoobie Eddy.]]
72	* {{Irony}}: In "All Eds Are Off", when Ed wins the bet and decided to spend the prize money on gravy.
73	-->'''Eddy:''' ''(angry)'' Oh come on! You're gonna spend the money on more gravy?\
74	'''Edd:''' ''(happy)'' Irony, Eddy. Look that up in the dictionary.
75	* 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.]]
76	* IWasBeatenByAGirl:
77	** The fate of the Eds almost anytime they encounter Sarah or the Kankers.
78	** Also the fate of Kevin in ''Dawn of the Eds" by the Kankers.
79	** The Kankers humiliated the urban rangers (Rolf, Jimmy, and Jonny) in Ed Overboard.
80	** Nazz likely would have done this to the Eds for ruining her hair in the first act of the movie. [[spoiler: Her hair is still ruined by the end.]]
81	** Happened to Jimmy twice in the ''Big Picture Show'', after the Kankers first fight over him and rip his pants, and later when they make him and Sarah pull their wagon.
82	** [[spoiler: This almost happened in the movie where Lee wanted to pummel Eddy's brother, but Ed beat her to it. It actually happens off camera (this time with all three sisters) after all of the kids leave.]]
83	* IWishedYouWereDead: G-rated variant in "See No Ed", where the Eds seem to have disappeared:
84	-->'''Jimmy:''' I have a confession: I've wished for this every birthday. Might it have come true?
85	* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: When Ed can't remember where he hid Eddy's [[PornStash secret stash of magazines,]] Eddy uses giant clothespins to try to torture the information out of him.
86	-->'''Ed:''' Eddy, will these leave marks?\
87	'''Eddy:''' Big ones, Ed!
88	** Eddy also attempts this on Plank in "The Ed-Touchables" when Johnny was accused of stealing a bunch of the kids possessions. He first ties to slap him across the face which resulted in a hand full of splinters. He then attempts the old Chinese water torture by dripping water over his "head" with a water gun. It had no effect on the piece of wood, but it drove Johnny into falsely confessing because the water made him [[PottyEmergency have to use the bathroom.]]
89	* {{Jerkass}}:
90	** Eddy is arrogant, scams his peers, is full of himself and likes to think that he's better than everyone else on the show. It is revealed in TheMovie that Eddy's jerkish behavior is all just an act since he thought that acting like his brother would make him look cool to all the other kids. In the end, Eddy realizes that being a jerkass was what was keeping him from being popular and tearfully laments that he'll never learn his lesson.
91	** Kevin is the JerkJock who always insults the title characters - he's especially fond of the word "Dork(s)!". In "Your Ed Here" he finds out Eddy's middle name after finding his wallet and threatens to tell the other kids, but promises to not tell if Eddy does everything he says. Eddy does so. Kevin tells them anyway, and his "excuse" is "Oops! [[BlatantLies I forgot!]]" He also is frequently a prick to the other characters, most notably Jonny 2x4 and Jimmy.
92	** Ed's little sister Sarah is a violent, manipulative BrattyHalfPint that frequently abuses her brother physically and verbally on a scale only slightly lower than what [[spoiler: Eddy suffers from his brother]].
93	** The Kankers love to bully and force-kiss the Eds and rarely get punished for their actions.
94	** The worst of them is [[spoiler: Eddy's brother. He beats down on his own brother and Double D in a manner that makes the cul-de-sac kids and the Kankers feel disgusted.]]
95	* JerkassBall:'''Everybody''' in this show has acted like a genuine jerk in at least one episode, including the most innocent(-looking) characters like Jimmy, Rolf, Nazz, and Edd. For example, the beginning of [[Recap/EdEddNEddyS3E23IfItSmellsLikeAnEd "If It Smells Like An Ed"]]. Everybody sans Sarah laughs after Eddy gives Jimmy a wedgie. [[{{Hypocrite}} During the celebration of a Friendship Day]]. Even ''Double D'' couldn't resist laughing! Nonetheless, for what reasons and at what levels they act like jerks does vary.
96	%% * JerkJock: Kevin easily qualifies as this.
97	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Almost all the ones mentioned above (see {{Jerkass}}) evolve into this in the movie, especially[[spoiler: Eddy]]. However during the show:
98	** Eddy. He's greedy and arrogant, but he does have [[PetTheDog his moments]] where he shows he genuinely cares about his friends. He rarely shows his softer side but it's there ("Momma's Little Ed", "'Tween a Rock and an Ed Place", "Jingle Jingle Jangle", "A Fistful of Ed"). He may have a HiddenHeartOfGold, if you think about it. He always tries to make money because he wants to buy the jawbreakers ''and'' share them with his friends, and that's why he scams. Also proven in 'Here's Mud In Your Ed', where he begins thinking of what he'll do when he becomes rich: the first thing he wants to do? Buy Double D a new hat, when you would expect his first thoughts to be of his own self. In "Hand Me Down Ed", where the boomerang seems to turn the holder into their most repressed traits. Ed becomes a genius, Double D loses all his inhibitions, and Eddy of all people becomes a doting mother. Makes you wonder how he really is inside without his mask of a jerk.
99	** 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 [[MoralityPet Jimmy]], she has a soft spot for Double D and, most of the time, she gets along well with Nazz. And deep down she does care about Ed, such as when, in "Honor Thy Ed" where the Eds were trapped in a "haunted" house and pretending to be attacked by ghosts, she squeals: "Somebody save my idiot brother!"
100	** Kevin seems to have been somewhat of a not-so-nice nice kid either. However he's good friends with Rolf, and will lend him a hand when needed. He also sticks up for the other kids if the Eds do something to them and, with three exceptions, he seems to be pretty generous with the mountain of jawbreakers in his garage--and it's worth noting that he was originally going to share some with the Eds before Eddy tried to pull his drawbridge scam on him. And in a couple of 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).
101	** May Kanker is mostly seen being a local bully along with her sisters. But unlike them, she's implied to be a real sweetie deep down and has true feelings for Ed, not just a creepy obsession (it was evident in the Valentine's Day special). She's really more naive and dimwitted than evil.
102	** Lee and Marie are this as well, though it rarely shows. As much as they like to pick on May, they still care about her. Such as when they capture Ed to apologize to May when they went too far with insulting her. And they are quite protective of her in the Valentine's Day episode (Marie: "Where's our May?!", Lee: [[BigSisterInstinct "Tell your stupid friend to stay away from our sister!"]])
103	* JourneyToTheSky: The Season 4 episode "They Call Him Mr. Ed" revolves around the Eds trying to build a tower of junk (the Sky Elevator) to reach the moon, for which they start a business known as Ed Co. and convince people from the cul-de-sac to help this cause. They actually do end up reaching the moon, but their attempts to grab it cause the tower to fall, [[GainaxEnding ending the episode with them holding on for dear life]].
104	* JustEatGilligan: After being locked out of Ed's house by [[BrattyHalfPint Sarah]] in "Knock Knock ... Who's Ed?", the Eds begin to scour the entire Cul-de-sac for somewhere they can watch the Monster Movie Marathon. Cue this exchange:
105	--> '''[[OnlySaneMan Edd]]:''' We could just go to ''our'' house, Eddy.\
106	'''Eddy:''' What? [[BreakingTheFourthWall And ruin the plot]]?
107	** And throughout the series, it never occurs to the Eds that they could raise money by washing cars or something similar instead of creating all sorts of scams running on NoOSHACompliance just to earn money for some jawbreakers. By the same token, it never occurs to any of them to just ask their parents for slightly bigger allowances, especially since jawbreakers are pretty cheap.
108	* {{Kaiju}}: Ed's a small-scale one of these in "The Day The Ed Stood Still", with some [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] for flavor. The Mis-Ed-Ventures game would later feature a level with Ed's monster "form" playing this straight.
109	* KafkaKomedy: Very few episodes end in the Eds' favor. Of course, most of the time, it's LaserGuidedKarma.
110	* KangarooCourt: In Ed's nightmare at the beginning of "Rock-a-Bye Ed", he's put on trial for shirking his responsibility as an older brother to Sarah with Jonny (as Ed's mom) as the judge. When Jonny tells Ed to make a statement Ed can't say anything because his mouth has been erased, and the jury of Sarahs declares him guilty.
111	* KarmicButtMonkey: Eddy gets picked on by the rest of the kids in the neighborhood, though the cause is that he keeps trying to scam them out of their money. Eddy frequently winds up poorer than before he starts his scams.
112	* KickMePrank: Eddy to Edd in "A Case of Ed", Kevin to Rolf in "Out with the Old, In with the Ed".
113	* KickTheDog:
114	** Eddy, Ed, Marie and Lee forcefully separating Edd and May, respectively, in the Valentine's special. While it's technically the right thing to do, it's hard to see such a happy pair split apart like that (neither of which did anything to each other).
115	** Edd himself has a minor one in "Mission Ed Possible" when he willingly gave Eddy and Ed's report cards to their parents, not caring whether or not they would be subjected to physical or mental abuse afterwards. This is the guy who'd wipe Ed's drooling mouth and nurse Eddy whenever he gets hurt. He gets repercussion at the end by Kevin, though.
116	** Kevin, kicked the biggest one in the episode "Your Ed Here" when he told Eddy's middle name anyway.
117	* KidsAreCruel:
118	** 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).
119	** 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?]]
120	* {{Kidanova}}: Eddy tries, as does Kevin, who's only slightly more successful.
121	** Double D could count. Sarah, Marie, May, and Nazz's have expressed interest in him at points.
122	* KissingDiscretionShot: Whenever the Eds are caught by Kankers, you never see them getting kissed by them on the mouth on-screen, with the exception of one episode ("Ed Overboard" where May kisses Ed on the lips). The only other instance you see kissing on-screen is when [[HoYay Eddy kisses Edd]], due to peer pressure, in "Your Ed Here".
123	* KissingInATree:
124	** In the Kanker Sisters’ debut episode, they sneak up on the Eds in the woods, creepily chanting this.
125	--->''Ed, Edd, ‘n Eddy''\
126	''Sittin’ in a tree,''\
127	''K-I-S-S-I-N-G…''
128	** In "For Your Ed Only", Eddy steals Sarah’s [[SecretDiary diary]], and while reading it, they learn about her [[PrecociousCrush crush on Double D]], which prompts Ed and Eddy to do this.
129	--->'''Edd:''' Me… and Sarah?\
130	'''Ed:''' Sittin’ in a tree!\
131	'''Eddy:''' K-I-S-S-I-N-G! (''laughs'')
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Tropes L to P]]
135	* LampshadeHanging:
136	** In response to Edd's suggestion to go to his house to watch a movie marathon, Eddy responds with "What? [[JustEatGilligan And ruin the plot?]]"
137	--->'''Eddy:''' You're supposed to be the smart one, Double D; you're messing up our group dynamics!
138	** After slipping on a banana peel in "See No Ed":
139	--->'''Kevin:''' ''Man'' [[OverusedRunningGag that's old]]!
140	* LargeHam:
141	** Ed has shades of this in Season 5 and the movie, though he still retains his Funny line generator.
142	** ''Eddy'', full stop.
143	** Rolf. He's as a large a ham as a ham can get.
144	** It's not just these two characters. Everybody on the show had at least one LargeHam moment each throughout the series.
145	* LaserGuidedKarma: The Eds get struck down by this nearly all the time.
146	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Justified; Eddy's brother is mentioned frequently throughout the series, but doesn't officially appear until the series finale (the movie).
147	* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: After the series was UnCancelled, the show's format suddenly shifted from being a perpetual summer vacation to having the cul-de-sac kids finally in school.
148	** Not to mention, the art and tone also shifted in the show after being uncancelled. While the earlier episodes were more cartoony and brightly colorful with (typically) a whole lot of noise and madness appearing on screen, the later episodes actually have a bit of detail drawn into them[[note]] like when one of the kids damages property in the school, another camera angle or even later scene with the area of damage in view ''still actually has damage shown'' [[/note]], and the colors of the show have been somewhat muted down a notch, what with it no longer summer and now fall and winter. And not to mention, the show also had A LOT more quieter moments without dialogue or sounds outside of the music.
149	%%* LeadIn: Every episode.
150	* {{Leitmotif}}:
151	** 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.
152	** 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...
153	** Whenever Edd starts sweating, little farting sounds can be heard.
154	** Sarah tends to get wildcat noises, especially when enraged.
155	** For an actual musical example, the Eds are represented by instruments when they speak (becomes ''especially'' prominent in later seasons). Ed a trombone, Double D a clarinet, and Eddy a bass line. When they have a scene together, the instruments combine to play an excerpt of their jazzy theme song.
156	** Sarah usually gets a dainty piano jingle whenever she's on-screen.
157	* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: Edd actually lampshades this in "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed", where the Eds open up a hula school, and he is lassoed into setting the mood by playing traditional hula music on his steel pedal guitar; once Sarah and Jimmy interrupt the lessons, he then switches the mood to sound more like the show's style of music scoring, that is until Eddy shouts at him "Give it a break, will ya?!"
158	* LemonadeStandPlot: "[[Recap/EdEddNEddyS1E4OverYourEd Over Your Ed]]" begins with the Eds running an "Ed-O-Gee drinks" stand. Eddy pours too much sugar on the energy drinks, giving an unwitting Edd a sugar high.
159	* LethallyStupid: Ed caused massive property damage and physical injury through things and people around him through a mix of [[LiteralMinded Literal Mindedness]], [[CannotTellFictionFromReality inability to tell fiction from reality]] and [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength not knowing his own strength]]. In fact some episodes revolve around his dangerous idiocy.
160	-->'''Eddy:''' Why do you always have to WRECK EVERYTHING!?
161	* LighterAndSofter: Season 1 (and maybe a little bit of 2) by a ''long-shot''. The Eds were a lot more cohesive and very well put-together team (with Ed having more SmartBall moments, Edd being completely willing to go along with scams coupled with his expert engineering skills and Eddy being more generous and a lucid and competent leader, not to mention [[{{TrueCompanions}} much closer with each other and more down-to-earth]]. The kids were a ''lot'' nicer to the Eds and each other and less violent than they would later become [[note]]consider the episode Eds-aggerate, where even after Eddy lies to Kevin about the "monkey boys" breaking his window, the worst Kevin does to them is simply trap them in a cement block, and "A Boy and His Ed", where, while he does grow more and more annoyed at the Eds trying to "befriend" him for jawbreakers, not once does he lay a finger on them; his only retribution for them is a series of harmless slapstick gags[[/note]], with Johnny even helping the Eds out at times and Sarah being a tamer, mean little sister to Ed rather than outright abusive and hostile. The Kanker Sisters were simply generic DistaffCounterpart bullies to the Eds rather than the sexual harassers they'd become in Season 2, and the characters' personalities generally stemmed from ChildrenAreInnocent, with many plots involving the Eds playing around with each other and hanging out, and the other kids playing together at the playground or in the lane and welcoming the Eds into their activities with open arms, while Season 3 would make an abrupt shift to the KidsAreCruel dynamic, with many of the characters (Kevin, Sarah, Jimmy, and ''especially'' Eddy) becoming sadistic, loud, violent bullies and even the most innocent characters picking up the JerkAssBall.
162	** The series is this compared to Danny Antonucci's previous [[WesternAnimation/LupoTheButcher more adult]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBrothersGrunt oriented works]], which was a created due to a dare from a colleague to create a kids' show.
163	* LightningBruiser:
164	** Kevin is perhaps the fifth physically strongest character in the series, but his prime trait is riding his bicycle at ludicrous speed.
165	** Ed as well in Mis-Ed-Ventures when using Batter-Ed.
166	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: According to the early series bible Ed's father doesn't really relate to his son but does try to impart ''some'' knowledge to him even if it's about second-hand cars.
167	* LineBoil: The show's art style uses exaggerated line boil on the characters, even when standing still. This was done as a response to the perceived sterility of digital animation at the time.
168	* LiteralMetaphor:
169	-->'''Eddy:''' Keep your shorts on, Ed! No seriously, keep your shorts on. ''(pulls up Ed's trousers)''
170	* TheLoad: All three of the Eds are this in their own ways:
171	** Ed's stupidity and clumsiness has ruined scams on some occasions, one notable example being in "Rent-A-Ed" where he keeps accidentally destroying the houses he and the other Eds are trying to fix. Although he does mean well and just wants to help out.
172	** Edd is downplayed in that he's very useful and intelligent, so it's more out of disdain for Eddy's schemes and not out of incompetence, although he ''does'' always pessimistically nag Eddy about how his scams won't work no matter how well they're built.
173	** Eddy is the biggest, most common example, as he tends to ruin scams due to his Greed, anxiety and desperation to ''win'' for once getting the best of him. Eddy's inner demons have ruined more scams than ever and the worst part is that [[spoiler: he ''knows'' this, and as revealed in TheMovie, ''hates'' himself for that, among other things]]
174	* LongBusTrip: This is how the episode with Ed's imaginary friend Jib is resolved.
175	* LooseToothEpisode: In "Floss Your Ed", Ed's last baby tooth is about to come loose, and the whole cul-de-sac joins in on trying to get it out. Of course, [[{{Greed}} Eddy wants the tooth for himself so he can get money from the tooth fairy]].
176	* LovingBully:
177	** Sarah could count if one relies on FridgeBrilliance, that she has turned into a {{Tsundere}} towards Edd. Despite it rarely being shown after "An Ed Too Many", Sarah still has a crush on him, but it doesn't save him from a beating.
178	** The Kanker Sisters are utterly head over heels for the Eds, as well as their worst tormentors. Somewhat unique in that their amorous feelings are completely known to their victims, and the bullying usually involves the girls forcing themselves on the Eds.
179	%%* LowerClassLout: The Kankers.
180	* LustfulMelt: Performed by Eddy and Kevin in "Pop Goes the Ed", when they first see Nazz in her bikini.
181	* LustObject:
182	** Double D and Kevin. All of the girls have shown some level of affection for [[NerdsAreSexy Double D]], with the Kankers and Nazz being attracted to Kevin.
183	** The Eds are unfortunately this to the Kanker sisters.
184	** Nazz is hit on by nearly every guy on the show.
185	** [[spoiler: Every girl except Sarah has a crush on Eddy's older brother.]]
186	* MacGuffin: Jawbreakers are the motivation behind most of Eddy's scams, if not getting money to buy them.
187	* MadeOfIron: ''Every single character'' is, through AmusingInjuries at least, able to survive things no kid, let alone ''human being'', should be able to survive, sooner or/than later - from being crushed by a ''house'' to ''having their own face ripped off''. Indeed, while this kind of non-serious slapstick appears in many cartoons, when it gets as severe as [[spoiler:Rolfe having a chunk of his body apparently bitten halfway off where vital organs should be in the movie,]] it's not much of a wonder why people treat these as serious feats.
188	** 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.]]
189	* MadnessMantra: "Shower, shower, shower..." Edd goes off the deep end when he can't start his morning with a shower. For comparison: [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Buttercup]] goes without bathing for days and develops a stench so offputting as to cause people to flee the room. Edd does the same thing in ''hours'' '''and''' dumps a trash bag's positively putrid contents over his head to cement his SanitySlippage.
190	* {{Malaproper}}:
191	** In "Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed", 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.
192	** In "I Am Curious Ed":
193	--->'''Ed:''' Allow me to re-irritate.
194	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Sarah and Jimmy. Also, Marie and Edd.
195	* ManipulativeBastard: Jimmy becomes this in "If It Smells Like an Ed", when he masterminds a ''very'' elaborate plot for revenge on the Eds after Eddy wedgies him. Edd himself concedes to the brilliance of Jimmy's plan when Jimmy [[TheReveal reveals]] himself behind the whole thing, and he is clearly impressed.
196	-->'''Edd:''' ''Ingenious.'' A little long-winded, mind you, but ''absolutely cunning''.
197	* MattressTagGag: In "Stop, Look and Ed", Eddy torments goodie two shoes Edd by ripping a tag off his mattress (while Edd's hat was tied to the ceiling light).
198	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Did Ed successfully summon Evil Tim, or was the flock of crows attacking the Eds just a coincidence?
199	* MeatOVision: [[ItMakesSenseInContext While stranded on a improvised raft with Johnny and some animals]], Rolf becomes hungry and looks at the raft. Instead of finding the animals tasty, Rolf instead sees Johnny's head as a roasted turkey.
200	--> '''Rolf''': "If we do not find dry land soon, I will have to feast upon your succulent...noggin."
201	* 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.
202	%%* MiddleOfNowhereStreet: The cul-de-sac.
203	* MiddleSchoolIsMiserable: The show had already established a cynical outlook on the pubescent experience from the beginning, so naturally that continued in Season Five, when the action moved to middle school with the InUniverse end of summer. Not only are the kids are no nicer in the school halls than out, but the teachers almost always look the other way, if they're not [[MisplacedRetribution punishing the wrong kids for the wrong infractions]], usually [[ButtMonkey Eddy]].
204	* MindScrew: "Don't look now, but there's a cow hovering just overhead..."
205	* MinimalistCast:
206	** The cast of characters never expanded beyond twelve people throughout the show's five season run, making it one of the longest-running series (animated or otherwise) to have one. Even more notably, there were absolutely no background characters depicted throughout the entire show, even in episodes set in school where you'd expect to see at least one or two other kids outside the principal twelve.
207	** Finally ended in TheMovie/Series Finale with [[spoiler:Eddy's brother.]]
208	** There's also [[ImaginaryFriend Jib]] and [[CompanionCube Plank's parents]], if any of them count.
209	* 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.]]
210	* MisplacedADecimalPoint: Edd seems to have made this error on a few occasions.
211	* MisplacedRetribution:
212	** In the Halloween special, Ed goes around beating up people and ''EDD AND EDDY'' are beaten up instead and Ed goes unharmed, and in the episode "All Eds Are Off", Ed contaminates the pool with gravy and ''Eddy'' receives detention for it instead.
213	** In "My Fair Ed", Ed and Eddy cause varying degrees of trouble for the kids, and they blame Edd for apparently not reeling them in (the episode even ends with Kevin going to beat up ''Edd'' after Ed and Eddy destroy his bike).
214	* MistakenFromBehind: Done twice in "In Like Ed". Eddy tries to hit on Nazz at a party, only for it to turn out to be Edd in disguise. A minute later, Eddy tries to stuff a piece of cake down Edd's pants, only to find it ''was'' Nazz, who decks him in response.
215	* MountainOfFood: In "Stop, Look and Ed", Sarah and Jimmy make a big mountain of ice cream (and proceed to slide down it with their mouths open).
216	* 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.
217	* MouthTapedShut: In "The Day the Ed Stood Still", Edd tries to warn the other kids that Ed is ramping through the cul-de-sac as "Ed-zilla", but Eddy, looking to cash in this real-life thriller, slaps a giant band-aid over his mouth.
218	%%* MultiCharacterTitle
219	* MundaneMadeAwesome: Peeling potatoes, if Rolf is to be believed.
220	-->'''Rolf''': Behold, the potato. Bow to this fruit of the earth, then ''[[SuddenlyShouting PEEL IT, AS IF IT WERE THE LAST TASK OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE!]]''
221	* Jimmy trying to fight Eddy in "An Ed Too Many"
222	-->'''Jimmy''': Are you looking for trouble? 'Cause I'll flip you like an omelette!''
223	* MusclesAreMeaningless: Ed, Sarah, and Rolf have virtually no muscles but are incredibly strong, but Rolf does when he flexes or becomes enraged.
224	%%* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Happens a lot.
225	* NameAndName: Or Name, Name and Name, in this case.
226	%%* TheNapoleon: Eddy and Sarah.
227	* NauseaFuel: InUniverse: 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 when it comes to retrieving milk.
228	* NeverHadToys: Eddy states that [[TheGrinch he hates Christmas]] because [[MyNewGiftIsLame all he gets are clothes]]. Sure enough, in the ChristmasSpecial, [[PresentPeeking he finds presents for him hidden in the attic]] and opens them, only to find clothes, much to his dismay.
229	* NeverMyFault: Eddy does this for an episode when he upsets Rolf after throwing the Sea Cucumber Ball and more so when Rolf gets upset. Admittedly Eddy is often the first to say he never does anything wrong, and that it's outside forces doing it.
230	* NiceGuy: Edd, Ed, Rolf, Jimmy and Jonny, and Eddy [[{{EarlyInstallmentWeirdness}} in early episodes]]. Nazz is the only female character who fits the trope.
231	* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Edd is the nice one, always trying to find a reasonable, non-violent solution and apologizing for his friend's behavior. Eddy is the mean one for most of the show, always getting the two others involved in his scams and screaming at them when he doesn't get his way. Ed is inbetween, not as mean as Eddy, but more impulsive than Edd. On occasion, this can switch to Ed (nice) and Edd (in-between), since Edd has been known to lose it a couple of times, and Ed doesn't have a malicious bone in his body. That is, unless there is a malicious rock in his shoe. The Kids Jonny and Nazz (nice), Kevin and Sarah (mean), and Jimmy and Rolf (inbetween), also the Kanker Sisters Lee (mean) Marie (inbetween) and May (nice).
232	%%* NightmareFetishist: Ed.
233	* NobodysThatDumb: In season 4, "Here's Mud in Your Ed", after Eddy realizes that Rolf and Jimmy scammed him with a fake money tree seed and bangs on Rolf's front door demanding he get his stuff back, Rolf offers that he will give Eddy the "real" money tree seed if he stops. Edd tells Rolf that Eddy wouldn't fall for the same trick twice but he's proven wrong when Eddy agrees to it and the "real" money tree seed he receives is just a bolt. Ed even comments that even ''he'' isn't that gullible.
234	* NoFourthWall: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVvUSP5ANRI 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".
235	-->'''Edd:''' In Case Of Movie, Break Glass?!\
236	'''Eddy:''' Bingo! [[CrazyPrepared My bro's always prepared!]]\
237	(Item turns out to be a peanut. Beat)\
238	'''Eddy:''' A peanut?\
239	'''Ed:''' [[SelfDeprecation Cheap movie.]]
240	** Done again in TheMovie [[spoiler:at the end when Double D, 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.]]
241	*** Let's sing a song!
242	** 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.
243	** 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.]]
244	** An example in which Double D 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?"
245	** 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.
246	** 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."
247	** Oddly averted in an early episode where Eddy loudly declares "[[ThisIsReality This ain't a cartoon!]]" after Ed drops an anvil.
248	** 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?]]"
249	*** Earlier in that same episode, Eddy offers to take some money off of Ed's "badly-drawn fingers".
250	** 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:
251	--->'''Eddy:''' I'd swear, but [[MediaWatchdog Standards]] won't let me.
252	* NoFullNameGiven: Other than the Kanker Sisters and Nazz, whose surname and middle name are revealed in the movie, none of the characters' surnames are ever mentioned.
253	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: The Eds usually receive these from the kids when they do something to earn it. Jimmy dished one to Edd in "A Fistful of Ed."
254	* NoIndoorVoice: Sarah, and Eddy in later seasons most of the time. Rolf and Ed, sometimes.
255	* NoNameGiven: Eddy's Brother is never given a name [[spoiler:even in the movie, where credits even state him as "Eddy's Brother".]]
256	* NonSequitur: Ed has [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny the attention span of a goldfish,]] often lost in his own world, so much of his dialogue makes no sense whatsoever to anyone around him.
257	-->'''Ed:''' Shush! My yeast is rising.\
258	({{beat}})\
259	'''Edd:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Nut loaf, Ed?]]
260	* NoodleIncident:
261	** 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 (or at the very least [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown clobber them severely]].)
262	** Whatever Plank did in the election episode.
263	** What purpose did Ed make his "freezer experiment" for?
264	** From "Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Ed":
265	--->'''Edd:''' Why are Eddy's clothes on the floor? Is he [[{{Streaking}} running around naked]] ''again?''
266	** This exchange in "Rambling Ed":
267	--->'''Eddy:''' If [Sarah] told you to [[JumpOffABridgeRebuttal jump in a lake]], with a rock tied to your head, and wait for naked photos of you to develop, so she could hand them out to all the kids in the cul-de-sac, would you?\
268	'''Ed:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I had socks on, Eddy.]]
269	** In ''3 Squares and an Ed'', whatever Ed did to get himself grounded, it evidently was enough to not only see Sarah and Jimmy act like prison guards, but that his parents also ''removed the stairwell to the basement.''
270	** The [[DodgeBallIsHell dodge ball incident]]. We never get details on it, but apparently it was traumatic enough for Double D that even the mere ''thought'' of playing dodge ball again causes him to break down in a tearful panic.
271	* NoPeekingRequest: When Eddy goes into his brother's room to borrow swimsuits he tells Double D and Ed not to peak as he takes out the briefcase containing them.
272	* NoSocialSkills: Jonny, which is probably why he carries Plank around in the first place.
273	** Edd and Ed also hold this in "Pop Goes the Ed", where the scary stories they tell to scare the kids and them throwing multiple objects around and making a mess hinders the Eds' mission to popularity. It's [[{{EarlyInstallmentWeirdness}} Eddy who has to get them to stop]].
274	* NotActuallyTheUltimateQuestion: {{Inverted\|Trope}} in "One + One = Ed":
275	-->'''Edd:''' I feel we're getting closer to answering that all-important question!\
276	'''Eddy:''' "Is Eddy rich yet?"\
277	'''Ed:''' "Can Ed go to the bathroom?"
278	* 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.
279	-->'''Old Ed:''' CRIBBAGE GIVES ME GAS!
280	** Interestingly, that episode was originally meant to be the series finale, but due to popular demand, the fifth and sixth seasons and TheMovie were made.
281	** Averted for the most part; the first four seasons are in the summer, seasons 5 and 6 take place in the school year, and TheMovie takes place in another summer, meaning the characters grow up about one year. Proven in "In Like Ed" where the Kids celebrate Jimmy's birthday.
282	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] since they're kids, but Jimmy and Rolf are the only males on the show who aren't attracted by Nazz's charms and prettiness; the former for being AmbiguouslyGay and the latter for not understanding her mannerisms since she's [[HypocriticalHumor a foreigner.]]
283	* NotSoImaginaryFriend:
284	** There are times when it seems that Plank is more than just a piece of wood.
285	** Ed's imaginary friend Jib. No one believed he existed until he beat up Eddy.
286	* NothingIsScarier: Most of the Kankers' rampage in "Run for Your Ed" happens offscreen. What we do see is [[ApocalypseHow pretty horrendous]].
287	* NotSoAboveItAll: Although Double D is certainly [[NiceGuy most empathetic and least antagonist of the three]], he still goes along with the Eds' endeavors, and goes just as primal as the other 2 [[EveryManHasHisPrice whenever possible jawbreakers are in their presence.]]
288	* 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.]]
289	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Even though the Eds have been shown to fail several scams, there have been instances (off-screen) that they kept their profits, meaning that although not shown initially, they probably had their jawbreakers. The Eds seemed to also have had enough money to bribe the Kanker Sisters (except Eddy, who was too greedy to do so) at the end of "Luck of the Ed".
290	* OhCrap:
291	** In "Sorry, Wrong Ed", 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.
292	** Edd makes a sterling facial example in "Run For Your Ed", [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/edwikia/images/3/3b/Vlcsnap-2014-07-22-09h00m34s203.png/revision/latest?cb=20140722160058 as seen here.]] And then the knob gets cranked up once he makes the connection that [[spoiler:the ship-inna-bottle they've been trying to free from Ed's finger all this time belongs to the ''Kankers'' of all people]].
293	** During the climax of 'If It Smells Like an Ed', the Eds share an expression best described as pure terror [[spoiler:when they are faced with the SadisticChoice between the AngryMob of kids and the affections of the Kanker Sisters.]]
294	** A recurring example is the Eds screaming in unison upon seeing or hearing the Kankers.
295	--->'''The Eds:''' [[SayMyName KANKERS!]]
296	* TheOldCountry: Rolf's indeterminate home country. The people eat weird meat dishes in abundance (Italy?), wore Lederhosen and yodeled (Switzerland?), and all the locals including ''animals'' wore wooden shoes (Netherlands?; when the Eds try to fool him into believing he's returned they wear costumes ranging from Russian babushkas to kilts with powdered wigs, and Rolf doesn't bat an eye.
297	** The Old Country ''might'' be Norway, as in "No Speak Da Ed", it's revealed that he personally knows Double D's pen pal Gerta, who's from Norway. However, it's unknown for sure.
298	* OlderThanTheyLook: Sarah and Jimmy are apparently old enough to attend middle school. Averted in "All Eds are Off" in one scene, where they're shown getting things out of cubbyholes instead of lockers, so Peach Creek Jr. High is presumably a joint middle/elementary school.
299	* OncePerEpisode: 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.
300	* OneCrazyNight: In "A Glass of Warm Ed," Double D and Eddy spend nearly an entire night trying to keep Ed under control as he sleepwalks and eats almost all of the food he can in the cul-de-sac. Although the episode ends with the aftermath the following morning, most of the episode takes place that one night.
301	* OneOfTheGirls: Jimmy prefers to hang out with Sarah and Nazz because he has similar interests to them. "High Heeled Ed" has him hang out with the two as opposed to going go-karting with Kevin, Jonny, and Rolf. In "Tight End Ed", he's part of the cheerleading squad along with Sarah and Nazz, while all the other boys are in the football team.
302	* OneSteveLimit: As we can see in the episode title, this has been averted, leading to the next trope:
303	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Double D" ("Edd" or "Eddward").
304	** 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. Ed does the same in the same episode, when he first greets as him as "Edd, Double D".
305	** Besides the first episode, Edd is only ever called Edd like in the title (and not Double D) when there is a TitleDrop but this happens rarely (like Jimmy saying "No Ed, Edd, or Eddy! Hallelujah! Let's go to my house and party!")
306	* OnlySaneMan: Edd is this most of the time, especially to his friends. Eddy has also played this role quite a few times.
307	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: "Little Ed Blue" is the only time we see Ed not his dimwitted, happy-go-lucky self. The Ed we see in this episode is downright ''terrifying'', so much that even ''[[EnfantTerrible Sarah]]'' gets cowed by him when he yells back at her.
308	* OperationJealousy: Attempted by Marie in "May I Have This Ed", after Nazz drags Edd onto the dance floor, with an insensate Eddy. She fails so spectacularly, it leads directly to the whole school getting leveled.
309	* OutOfCharacterMoment: During the "Incredible Shrinking Day", Edd digs out a presumably dirty shirt from under his bed and wears it.
310	* 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.
311	* OwMyBodyPart: Lampshaded in "Knock Knock ... Who's Ed?" where the Eds stage a plane crash in Kevin's yard, claiming it was the result of Ed's attempts at sky-writing.
312	-->'''Eddy:''' Ed was flying, sky-writing...when...he ran out of syllables!\
313	'''Ed:''' (Edd pulling him from the "wreckage") Ow, my liver! Ow, my lasagna!\
314	'''Edd:''' (Softly) Ed, lasagna isn't a major organ.\
315	'''Ed:''' It isn't?\
316	'''Eddy:''' He flew into reverse...to erase a...spelling mistake...then crashed into your yard! It was hideous! If only he had landed on his head!\
317	'''Ed:''' (Being dragged by Double D) Ow, my fingernails! Ow, my skin! Ow...[[MoodWhiplash hi, Kevin!]]
318	* PassThePopcorn
319	-->'''Eddy:''' What do I look like, some popcorn fairy!?
320	** In an earlier episode, where Ed {{sleepwalk\|ing}}s and eats the entire Cul-De-Sac's food supply.:
321	--->'''Eddy:''' Take a seat Sockhead, to the greatest show on Earth! whips out some popcorn\
322	(beat)\
323	'''Edd:''' Are you gonna share those?
324	* PatheticallyWeak: Edd is this trope, only surpassed by Jimmy. Edd suffers from GeekPhysiques so much that he can't even pick up and throw a football. Jimmy "broke" his foot after a clothes peg lightly tapped it. In "Look Before You Ed", Jimmy's apparently so weak that he can't even move snow or make a snow angel without getting hurt.
325	* PeelingPotatoes: "Will Work for Ed". Ed's first job on Rolf's farm.
326	-->'''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!
327	* PersonalRaincloud: Jimmy had one in "Tinker Ed" after he found out fairy tales aren't real.
328	* PerspectiveMagic "One + One = ED".
329	* PetTheDog:
330	** Kevin has been able to strike up a polite conversation with Double D a few times. He even calls him "hombre" (dude).
331	** In the Kankers' debut episode, they were actually pretty nice to the Eds, and not abhorrent at all. What caused them to go borderline crazy was the Eds' rude behavior towards them, and they actually got what they deserved in that episode.
332	* 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.
333	-->'''Kevin:''' That's for gobbling all over my bike, dork!
334	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Sarah and Jimmy. Sarah wears a pink tank top while Jimmy wears a blue shirt.
335	* PlanetBaron: The TropeNamer by way of a fictitious video made by Eddy to try and impress his brother with his staggering wealth in "[[Recap/EdEddNEddyS4E23AnEdIsBorn An Ed Is Born]]". Double D is so unimpressed he inadvertently reveals Ed [[ItMakesSenseInContext slapping dollar signs on garbage bags]]:
336	-->'''Eddy:''' Don't film that!\
337	'''Double D:''' I'm sorry, the "planet baron" story threw me off.
338	* PowderGag:
339	** [[Recap/EdEddNEddyS2E9InLikeEd "In Like Ed"]]: Thanks to a baking powder smoke bomb [[ShoePhone shaped like a jawbreaker]], everyone gets covered in the stuff and is as white as ghosts. The Eds wonder where everyone went, until they start emerging one by one from the walls, where they had been hidden by the powder.
340	** [[Recap/EdEddNEddyS5E19SmileForTheEd "Smile For the Ed"]]: Ed shouts "Makeup!" and applies "makeup" on Eddy by hitting him with a chalkboard eraser so hard Eddy goes through the chalkboard. At the end of the episode, Ed hits himself with the eraser, covering the screen in chalk powder.
341	* PowerOutagePlot: In "Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed" (one of the few episodes that takes place at night), a power outage hits the Cul-De-Sac and Ed thinks it's the work of mole mutants which most of the kids believe. Eddy naturally takes advantage of this to make a quick buck while Kevin, Rolf, Johnny (with Plank) and Double-D venture into the sewers to find a way to switch the power back on.
342	* PowerTrio:
343	** BigThinShortTrio: Ed, Edd, and Eddy in that order.
344	** BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Kanker Sisters are May, Marie (who's stylized as blue), and Lee in that order.
345	** ComicTrio: The Eds form one with Eddy as the {{Schemer}}, Ed as the DumbMuscle, and Edd as the NoRespectGuy.
346	** FreudianTrio: The Eds usually follow the "Ego, Superego, Id" formation. Ed is the Ego, usually goes along with whatever Eddy's plan is but follows Edd as well. Eddy is the Id as he's the one coming up with the selfish plans and is ruled by his emotions and wants. Edd is the Superego, being the source of rules and the one to tell Eddy that his plan is doomed to fail or keep Ed from getting into too much trouble. Sometimes it mixes this up with Eddy being the Ego, having to mediate Ed and Double D so they can focus on his plan.
347	* PrecociousCrush: Sarah has one on Edd though it rarely shows up and doesn't stop her from beating on him.
348	* PrematurelyMarkedGrave: A variation of this appears in "Know it All Ed", in which a squirt gun craze (actually turkey basters) causes the cul-de-sac kids to adopt a Wild West atmosphere; the Eds are set to face the Kankers in a high noon style showdown, but as they journey to the construction sight, they pass what looks like three graves dug in the ground for them--Ed thinks it's cool, and Edd is only frightened even more, but Eddy brushes it off. After they continue on their way, it turns out that they were individual mud pits that Rolf dug for his pigs.
349	* PresentPeeking: In "Jingle Jangle Eds", Eddy finds his Christmas presents and peeks inside, only to be severely disappointed. ("A dickie? They still make those?") He then goes house to house trying to get some of the other kid's presents instead.
350	* ProWrestlingEpisode: "Tag Yer Ed"
351	* PrankInjuries: In TheMovie when the trio were in the gag factory.
352	* PseudoSanta: Instead of celebrating SantaClaus, Rolf still follows traditions from the Old Country, where the fat bearded witch Yeshmiyek takes the role of both Santa and TheKrampus--she rewards good children with gifts of meat and cheese, and she [[ScareEmStraight boils naughty children in her cooking pot]].
353	* PushoverParents: Implied with Ed and Sarah's parents, who just straight-up let Sarah mistreat her brother and his friends and spoil her rotten, possibly because they value her more than Ed.
354	* PyrrhicVictory: At the end of "Fool on the Ed", Eddy successfully gets his revenge on the cul-de-sac kids with his massive stink bomb, but since it went off before they could get it clear of the garage where they built it, he and the other Eds are caught at ground zero when the bomb goes off.
