-->"[[ComebackTomorrow What I should have written]] on the poster was, "[[BrickJoke Nothing's changed. You women will still make up shit in order to have a row.]]"

* {{Adorkable}}: In addition to his normal look, Ed usually has a cute dance after making a terrible pun.

** Plus when speaking to the father he ends with a BaitAndSwitch
-->"It's got 'Gorgeous' written across the arse of it. Is that not a bit... you know..." and he says, "Well, that's the fashion." And I'm like, "Yeah, but she's a [[PrecisionFStrike fucking minger.]]"

--> Because that would be adorable.

* BerserkButton: After trying endlessly to try and get a joke in in the final part of a ''Mock The Week'' episode, Ed yells out "Am I invisible in this [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] jacket?!", before eventually stealing the microphone.

* BlackComedy: "I can't think what specific makeup tips you need to be a wife or girlfriend of a footballer, other than maybe this foundation covers up a black eye"

--> You put cake in front of a fat girl, she's at least going to [[TakeThat know what to do with it]].
** He saves the best for last.
--> If [[WeightWoe that's the relationship]] you, as a 13-year-old boy, have with pussy--you have issues you have not addressed, my young friend. Like if sometimes you'll want pussy, but you'll deny yourself pussy... or if now and again, you'll have pussy and then feel really bad about yourself afterwards... or if sometimes, occasionally, you might even deliberately have too much pussy, in order to punish yourself because of complex issues to do with your self-esteem... If that's how you, as a 13-year-old boy, feel about pussy, ''you're [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] gay!''

* GrammarNazi: On Music/MichaelJackson's "Thriller": "How come nobody had the balls to go, 'Michael, don't mean to step on your creative vision here or anything, but do you not think what you're going for here is really more of a ''horror'' than a thriller? It's hardly a fucking whodunnit, is it? Series/{{Columbo}} doesn't come in at the end and go, 'It was the zombies.'"

* NerdsAreVirgins: "I used to play Dungeons and Dragons for a while until I discovered what women smelled like."

-->"Does my vampiric countenance not chill you to your bones???" "Fucking ''no''"
