* TheRashomon: The Ed's attempting to explain to Jonny how they wound up trapped inside his wall. Eddy's version has him rich and successful, while the other kids are crude caricatures ([[MsFanservice except for Nazz]]). Double D's version is in a pristine world where his crazy friends always screw things up and he has to lecture them. Ed's is just... bizarre to say the least.
** The funniest thing about it was Ed's was the most realistic... aside from the Kankers anyway, because everyone looked closer to their personalities. There was no abnormality of anyone's personalities, most especially Jimmy. Eddy made him a diaper boy with crude utensils around his mouth, Edd imagined him ''without'' his brace, and Ed saw him as the legit limp and dramatic boy he is. "Farewell cruel world!"
* ReTraux: One part of the hide and seek episode had Ed hiding inside a tv, where he winds up in a 1920's silent cartoon-Ed himself is even drawn to look like an old cartoon character in that brief scene. This even gets a "blink and you'll miss it" shout out in the movie.
* TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation
* {{Revival}}: The show was originally ended at 52 episodes, but fan backlash lead to the making of four specials, 2 more seasons, and a {{Made for TV Movie}}.
* RewindReplayRepeat: PlayedForLaughs; Ed presses down on Edd's head, causing Edd to rewind his statement about fruitcake and Christmas, especially the Christmas part.
* RingRingCRUNCH: Eddy has a pile of smashed alarm clocks in the corner of his room, which he threw one more into.
* RoadApples: An aversion:
-->'''[[FunnyForeigner Rolf]]:''' What no-nothing would dimple the cookie-biscuit with the doohickey of a rabbit?\\
''({{beat}})''\\
'''Kevin:''' Those are ''raisins'', dude.\\
'''Rolf:''' Same thing!
* RubberMan: The characters are able to stretch their cheeks and arms.
* RuleOfThree: Aside from the obvious PowerTrio and instances of action, Ed occasionally makes comments to this effect:
-->'''Ed:''' Dig a hole, dig a hole, dig a hole.
** What about Double D?
-->'''Edd:''' Messy, messy, messy!\\
'''Edd:''' Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy...\\
'''Edd''' ''(labeling a file cabinet)'': Dusty, dusty, dusty.
** And then again when Eddy cops DD's schtick:
-->'''Eddy:''' Filthy, filthy, filthy...
* RunningGag: Ed falling off the treehouse and having to get pulled back up in "Vert-Ed-Go".
* SadistShow: The violence featured in the show borders on RefugeInAudacity. At one point, Sarah throws a ''car'' on Nazz.
** Possibly even topped in the flashback episode where Ed, Edd n Eddy end up as kids. Edd refuses to participate in the scam, so Ed goes off-screen and slams a ''freaking house'' on Edd.
* SchizoTech: The show is set in an ambiguous timeline. Sometimes it appears to be set in the 70s, sometimes the 90s and sometimes the 21st century.
** According to a store in the prepare for school episode, it is most likely set in the 2000s.
** In the beginning of the movie, Double D [[spoiler:uses a commemorative glass in Eddy's brother's room to listen through the door. The glass has "Peach Creek Diner 2000 Best Eater" on it, thus adding more confusion to the exact date of the series.]]
** If the [[KidsNextDoor KND]]-[[TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Billy and Mandy]] crossovers say anything, it's set in the present.
** The show's creator states that the show has no set date because "[Danny] wanted the show to appeal to any generation."
* SchmuckBait: TheMovie's NoodleIncident apparently involved a red button.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The Movie didn't air in the United States for months... long after Australia, Scandinavia, and parts of Asia got their hands on it.
* SecondPersonAttack: Several examples.
** At the end of "Who Let The Ed In?", Eddy hits Ed with an invisible potato in an invisible slingshot.
** This trope also occurs in the Valentine's Day special when Kevin tosses the end of the gym rope towards Eddy, and it hits him in the face.
** In "The Good, The Bad, and the Ed", Rolf challenges Eddy to a series of dangerous challenges. One of the challenges involved Eddy and Rolf getting giant boulders smashed against themselves in a giant Newton's Cradle. At the start of that challenge, Eddy's POV shows Ed tossing one of the boulders, smashing him hard.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Double D and both of his friends (Mostly Eddy).
* ShapeshifterSwanSong: Played for laughs after a prank involving joke gum. Ed gets harmlessly electrocuted in the movie, and ends up taking on nearly every notable form or persona he's ever donned.
* ShipTease: Kevin and Nazz, [[spoiler:especially in TheMovie!]]
* ShoutOut: The names of various AKA Cartoon employees are featured in the show, and at one point Edd uses the pseudonym "[[TheBigLebowski Walter Sobchak]]" to fool the Kankers.
** The letters "AKA" are found somewhere in every episode, usually on some sign or in a Blink-And-You'll-Miss-It moment.
** From TheMovie:
-->'''Eddy:''' (to Ed) If you ''had'' a brain!\\
'''Ed:''' Aw, come on, have a heart.\\
'''Edd/Double D:''' [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Courage... courage, Eddward!]]
** And in the same scene:
-->'''Ed:''' The hills are alive Eddy!\\
'''Eddy:''' Yeah, with [[TheSoundOfMusic the sounds of an idiot]].
** And in the series proper:
-->'''Rolf:''' (After learning Edd's middle name) Marion the Hungarian?\\
'''Kevin and Jonny:''' ''No!'' [[TheMusicMan Marion the Librarian!]]
** Another one to Airplane!
-->'''*while the other boys are thinking about Nazz*'''\\
'''Ed:''' Hello? Echo! ''My name is Ed!''
** Ed pulls a reference in the episode "For Your Ed Only".
-->'''Ed:''' I'm a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Borg]].
** In "Avast Ye Eds", when Jonny tears apart the Kankers sail, Jimmy remarks "Just like ErrolFlynn!"
* {{Sleepwalking}}: In "A Glass of Warm Ed", as well as the opening of "Run For Your Ed".
* SmellySkunk: In "Sorry, Wrong Ed", when Eddy calls into his supposedly cursed phone, a skunk comes out and sprays him.
-->'''Ed:''' Who stepped on a duck?
* SpaceElevator: In "They Call Him Mr. Ed", Ed spends most of the episode building one from random junk. It reaches the moon.
* SpySpeak
* {{Squick}}: An in-universe example: Rolf pulls out a keychain made from one of his Great Nano's kidney stones. Nazz, with an appropriate look on her face, asks "''What'' did he say that thing was?!"

* StepThreeProfit
* StockAudioClip: A few short lines are stock audio phrases reused throughout the series.
* StockSoundEffects: Ohhh boy, this show LOVES using these, and always at the most inappropriate times.
* [[spoiler:StrongFamilyResemblance]]: [[spoiler:Eddy's Brother looks like an older (meaner and scarier) version of Eddy, right down to the three protruding hairs.]]
* SuddenlyShouting: Eddy does this a LOT.
--> '''Eddy''': Johnny! People ''really'' like it when you SAY WHY ALL THE TIME!!
* SuperStrength: Ed, Rolf, and Sarah have all been shown to be stronger than your average human. Rolf's backbreaking chores give him an excuse, at least.
** In the first episode, "The Ed-Touchables", Eddy also shows at least a temporary bout of SuperStrength by lifting, and slamming down, Edds bed in an attempt to stop him from panicking [[spoiler:(an attempt which worked incidentally, though it did leave the bed damaged beyond repair).]]
* SwallowedAFly: In one episode, Eddy unintentionally swallows a fly and loses his voice because of it.
* TakeOurWordForIt: It is never revealed what Edd keeps under his hat, but it is certain that he has reason to do so from the times when his hat is taken off.
** WordOfGod says [[spoiler:he's blond.]]
** More like ShrugOfGod. ''One'' WordOfGod says he [[spoiler:just has blond hair [[LyingCreator (though he was lying about that one)]]]] while the majority are neutral.
** If you played the food fight game as Double D on the official website he'd throw his hat up in victory, revealing that his hairdo has a disturbing resemblence to Ed's (In other words he's practically bald with only a bit of stubble here and there for hair)
* TerribleTrio: If the Eds have gone too far in a scam, the kids will jump to that conclusion immediately. The Kanker Sisters are a more proper example, especially when they destroy the cul-de-sac trying to find their heirloom, the Ship-Inna-Bottle.
* ThatsAllFolks: In TheMovie, [[spoiler:after the credits, Plank "tells" Jonny that it's too late to get his revenge on the rest of the kids ("What? There's no time left? It's the end of the movie? [[AudienceWhatAudience What movie?]]")]] And speaking of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes tropes...
* ToonPhysics: Drive the entire show, especially lampshaded in "1 + 1 = Ed".
* TorsoWithAView:
--> '''Eddy:''' Ed, your stupid toy ate my breakfast!
** In the beginning of the movie, Rolf has a huge bite taken off the side of his torso.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jawbreakers for everyone--they act as a sort of currency and/or prize. Ed, meanwhile, loves buttered toast and gravy.
** And in the episode 'Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?', Sarah and Jimmy wanted Ed to buy them fudge instead of jawbreakers. So either that's their favorite food or the writers just gave them a craving for fudge for the sake of the episode.
* TraumaticHaircut: [[spoiler:Nazz in the movie, due to separation from hair care products]]. Played for laughs.
* TripleTake: Used in TheMovie, when the Eds [[spoiler:bust out of Eddy's house in his brother's car.]]
* TrueCompanions: Eddy is very much the "dad" of the group, while Edd is the "mom" and Ed is the "child."
* TheUnreveal: Cruelly applied to the secret of what lies beneath Double D's hat, TWICE.
** In TheMovie. Just what ''DID'' the Eds do that [[spoiler:A) resulted in Jonny getting a bear trap on his head, Kevin getting set on fire, Nazz wearing a box and losing most of her hair, and Rolf getting a chunk bitten out of his torso; and B) that Eddy thought going to his abusive big brother was the better option over letting the other kids get back at him?]]
** In another episode, Eddy is running for King of the Cul-de-Sac against Plank and resorts to {{Blackmail}}. We never see what the photograph is, but it horrifies everyone who sees it (except [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Rolf]], who doesn't understand it at all).
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: In the Ed-Touchables, the first episode, it would appear that Double-D has the crush on Sarah and she's just not interested. Five episodes later, this is reversed and intensified, with Sarah developing an obsession with Double-D who is scared that she won't leave him alone.
** 59 episodes later with "Tight End Ed", Double-D blushes heavily when Ed puts Sarah on his back.
* UnstoppableRage: "Little Blue Ed" shows us that almost nothing in the world can stop Ed when he's in a bad mood... all because he ended up with a pebble in his shoe.
* UnusualEuphemism: "That's my udder you're touching."
* VagueAge: Averted with the main trio (they're all 12), but played straight with all the other characters (All of them are junior high age, apparently).
* VisualPun: While Edd is giving a morality lecture, Eddy simply reaches down, picks a sock up, and shoves it in Edd's mouth. There are several similar gags throughout the show.
* TheVoiceless: Plank, at least to everyone who isn't Jonny. Eddy also becomes this in "Button Yer Ed", when a fly gets lodged in his throat, only allowing him to make wheezing, squeaky noises.
* WeaksauceWeakness:
** Jimmy's foot gets broken by a ''clothespin''.
** Ed is fearful of bathroom products.
** In "Pass it on Ed", Eddy implies that [[spoiler:his brother]] is lactose intolerant.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: In "Out With the Old, In With the Ed", when the Eds make a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with the Kankers]] to get the same homeroom, Lee spins a valve on the boiler, giving the Kankers a fiery background.
* WatchOutForThatTree: Happens to Ed twice while he's looking for Sarah in tall grass in "Keeping Up with the Eds".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse? [[spoiler:Did Rolf and Wilfred make up after the end of the movie?]]
* WheelOFeet: Played with in "1 + 1 = Ed" when Eddy pulls this off, and then throws Sarah into the wheel blur, causing her to speed off out of control. Played straight in TheMovie. In a car.
* WhenItRainsItPours: Done in "Read All About Ed":
-->'''Double D:''' Summer rains, you can never predict them. (cue flash storm every time he says that)
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Edd with Ed and Eddy. [[spoiler:UpToEleven in the movie.]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted in the movie, in which he left right after the whole quicksand prank, and it only took a fight and Eddy admitting his faults for him to come back.]]
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Purposefully invoked by the creator. There is no real clues to exactly where Peach Creek is located, but in the movie alone we see that just outside the suburb confines is a large stretch of badlands, then grassland, then farmland, and then a swamp.

* WrapItUp: TheMovie.
* YankTheDogsChain: Eddy ''always'' suffers this when it comes to his scams, although [[AssholeVictim he does deserve it sometimes]].
* YouAreGrounded: "Three Squares and an Ed". Eddy and Edd attempt to bust a grounded Ed out of his house. They get caught and are all grounded in the end. Ed and Eddy are grounded for unknown periods of time, while Edd gets off easier because he gets 3 days, which is plenty of time to spend with his thousands of ants.
** In "A Case of Ed", Kevin, for unknown reasons, has been grounded, and Eddy is not above taking advantage of this to torment him throughout the episode. However, Kevin gets off early for good behaviour, and [[LaserGuidedKarma uses this to get even with Eddy]].
* ZanyScheme: The majority of the episodes.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The Movie didn't air in the United States for months... long after Australia, Scandinavia, and parts of Asia got their hands on it.
* SecondPersonAttack: Several examples.
** At the end of "Who Let The Ed In?", Eddy hits Ed with an invisible potato in an invisible slingshot.
** This trope also occurs in the Valentine's Day special when Kevin tosses the end of the gym rope towards Eddy, and it hits him in the face.
** In "The Good, The Bad, and the Ed", Rolf challenges Eddy to a series of dangerous challenges. One of the challenges involved Eddy and Rolf getting giant boulders smashed against themselves in a giant Newton's Cradle. At the start of that challenge, Eddy's POV shows Ed tossing one of the boulders, smashing him hard.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Double D and both of his friends (Mostly Eddy).
* ShapeshifterSwanSong: Played for laughs after a prank involving joke gum. Ed gets harmlessly electrocuted in the movie, and ends up taking on nearly every notable form or persona he's ever donned.
* ShipTease: Kevin and Nazz, [[spoiler:especially in TheMovie!]]
* ShoutOut: The names of various AKA Cartoon employees are featured in the show, and at one point Edd uses the pseudonym "[[TheBigLebowski Walter Sobchak]]" to fool the Kankers.
** The letters "AKA" are found somewhere in every episode, usually on some sign or in a Blink-And-You'll-Miss-It moment.
** From TheMovie:
-->'''Eddy:''' (to Ed) If you ''had'' a brain!\\
'''Ed:''' Aw, come on, have a heart.\\
'''Edd/Double D:''' [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Courage... courage, Eddward!]]
** And in the same scene:
-->'''Ed:''' The hills are alive Eddy!\\
'''Eddy:''' Yeah, with [[TheSoundOfMusic the sounds of an idiot]].
** And in the series proper:
-->'''Rolf:''' (After learning Edd's middle name) Marion the Hungarian?\\
'''Kevin and Jonny:''' ''No!'' [[TheMusicMan Marion the Librarian!]]
** Another one to Airplane!
-->'''*while the other boys are thinking about Nazz*'''\\
'''Ed:''' Hello? Echo! ''My name is Ed!''
** Ed pulls a reference in the episode "For Your Ed Only".
-->'''Ed:''' I'm a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Borg]].
** In "Avast Ye Eds", when Jonny tears apart the Kankers sail, Jimmy remarks "Just like ErrolFlynn!"
* {{Sleepwalking}}: In "A Glass of Warm Ed", as well as the opening of "Run For Your Ed".
* SmellySkunk: In "Sorry, Wrong Ed", when Eddy calls into his supposedly cursed phone, a skunk comes out and sprays him.
-->'''Ed:''' Who stepped on a duck?
* SpaceElevator: In "They Call Him Mr. Ed", Ed spends most of the episode building one from random junk. It reaches the moon.
* SpySpeak
* {{Squick}}: An in-universe example: Rolf pulls out a keychain made from one of his Great Nano's kidney stones. Nazz, with an appropriate look on her face, asks "''What'' did he say that thing was?!"
* StalkerWithACrush:
** The Kanker Sisters.
** Also Sarah for Double D.
* StaticElectricity: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyrzaoxgpwc Zapity Zap Zap]]
* [[spoiler:StepfordSmiler]]: [[spoiler:Eddy is revealed to be this in TheMovie.]]
* SteamPunk: In TheMovie, Rolf is wearing steam punk goggles at one point.
* StepThreeProfit
* StockAudioClip: A few short lines are stock audio phrases reused throughout the series.
* StockSoundEffects: Ohhh boy, this show LOVES using these, and always at the most inappropriate times.
* [[spoiler:StrongFamilyResemblance]]: [[spoiler:Eddy's Brother looks like an older (meaner and scarier) version of Eddy, right down to the three protruding hairs.]]
* SuddenlyShouting: Eddy does this a LOT.
--> '''Eddy''': Johnny! People ''really'' like it when you SAY WHY ALL THE TIME!!
* SuperStrength: Ed, Rolf, and Sarah have all been shown to be stronger than your average human. Rolf's backbreaking chores give him an excuse, at least.
** In the first episode, "The Ed-Touchables", Eddy also shows at least a temporary bout of SuperStrength by lifting, and slamming down, Edds bed in an attempt to stop him from panicking [[spoiler:(an attempt which worked incidentally, though it did leave the bed damaged beyond repair).]]
* SwallowedAFly: In one episode, Eddy unintentionally swallows a fly and loses his voice because of it.
* TakeOurWordForIt: It is never revealed what Edd keeps under his hat, but it is certain that he has reason to do so from the times when his hat is taken off.
** WordOfGod says [[spoiler:he's blond.]]
** More like ShrugOfGod. ''One'' WordOfGod says he [[spoiler:just has blond hair [[LyingCreator (though he was lying about that one)]]]] while the majority are neutral.
** If you played the food fight game as Double D on the official website he'd throw his hat up in victory, revealing that his hairdo has a disturbing resemblence to Ed's (In other words he's practically bald with only a bit of stubble here and there for hair)
* TerribleTrio: If the Eds have gone too far in a scam, the kids will jump to that conclusion immediately. The Kanker Sisters are a more proper example, especially when they destroy the cul-de-sac trying to find their heirloom, the Ship-Inna-Bottle.
* ThatsAllFolks: In TheMovie, [[spoiler:after the credits, Plank "tells" Jonny that it's too late to get his revenge on the rest of the kids ("What? There's no time left? It's the end of the movie? [[AudienceWhatAudience What movie?]]")]] And speaking of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes tropes...
* ToonPhysics: Drive the entire show, especially lampshaded in "1 + 1 = Ed".
* TorsoWithAView:
--> '''Eddy:''' Ed, your stupid toy ate my breakfast!
** In the beginning of the movie, Rolf has a huge bite taken off the side of his torso.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jawbreakers for everyone--they act as a sort of currency and/or prize. Ed, meanwhile, loves buttered toast and gravy.
** And in the episode 'Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?', Sarah and Jimmy wanted Ed to buy them fudge instead of jawbreakers. So either that's their favorite food or the writers just gave them a craving for fudge for the sake of the episode.
* TraumaticHaircut: [[spoiler:Nazz in the movie, due to separation from hair care products]]. Played for laughs.
* TripleTake: Used in TheMovie, when the Eds [[spoiler:bust out of Eddy's house in his brother's car.]]
* TrueCompanions: Eddy is very much the "dad" of the group, while Edd is the "mom" and Ed is the "child."
* TheUnreveal: Cruelly applied to the secret of what lies beneath Double D's hat, TWICE.
** In TheMovie. Just what ''DID'' the Eds do that [[spoiler:A) resulted in Jonny getting a bear trap on his head, Kevin getting set on fire, Nazz wearing a box and losing most of her hair, and Rolf getting a chunk bitten out of his torso; and B) that Eddy thought going to his abusive big brother was the better option over letting the other kids get back at him?]]
** In another episode, Eddy is running for King of the Cul-de-Sac against Plank and resorts to {{Blackmail}}. We never see what the photograph is, but it horrifies everyone who sees it (except [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Rolf]], who doesn't understand it at all).
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: In the Ed-Touchables, the first episode, it would appear that Double-D has the crush on Sarah and she's just not interested. Five episodes later, this is reversed and intensified, with Sarah developing an obsession with Double-D who is scared that she won't leave him alone.
** 59 episodes later with "Tight End Ed", Double-D blushes heavily when Ed puts Sarah on his back.
* UnstoppableRage: "Little Blue Ed" shows us that almost nothing in the world can stop Ed when he's in a bad mood... all because he ended up with a pebble in his shoe.
* UnusualEuphemism: "That's my udder you're touching."
* VagueAge: Averted with the main trio (they're all 12), but played straight with all the other characters (All of them are junior high age, apparently).
* VisualPun: While Edd is giving a morality lecture, Eddy simply reaches down, picks a sock up, and shoves it in Edd's mouth. There are several similar gags throughout the show.
* TheVoiceless: Plank, at least to everyone who isn't Jonny. Eddy also becomes this in "Button Yer Ed", when a fly gets lodged in his throat, only allowing him to make wheezing, squeaky noises.
* WeaksauceWeakness:
** Jimmy's foot gets broken by a ''clothespin''.
** Ed is fearful of bathroom products.
** In "Pass it on Ed", Eddy implies that [[spoiler:his brother]] is lactose intolerant.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: In "Out With the Old, In With the Ed", when the Eds make a [[DealWithTheDevil deal with the Kankers]] to get the same homeroom, Lee spins a valve on the boiler, giving the Kankers a fiery background.
* WatchOutForThatTree: Happens to Ed twice while he's looking for Sarah in tall grass in "Keeping Up with the Eds".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse? [[spoiler:Did Rolf and Wilfred make up after the end of the movie?]]
* WheelOFeet: Played with in "1 + 1 = Ed" when Eddy pulls this off, and then throws Sarah into the wheel blur, causing her to speed off out of control. Played straight in TheMovie. In a car.
* WhenItRainsItPours: Done in "Read All About Ed":
-->'''Double D:''' Summer rains, you can never predict them. (cue flash storm every time he says that)
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Edd with Ed and Eddy. [[spoiler:UpToEleven in the movie.]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted in the movie, in which he left right after the whole quicksand prank, and it only took a fight and Eddy admitting his faults for him to come back.]]
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Purposefully invoked by the creator. There is no real clues to exactly where Peach Creek is located, but in the movie alone we see that just outside the suburb confines is a large stretch of badlands, then grassland, then farmland, and then a swamp.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://ed.wikia.com/wiki/Ed,_Edd_n_Eddy_Wiki Here you go.]]
* WrapItUp: TheMovie.
* YankTheDogsChain: Eddy ''always'' suffers this when it comes to his scams, although [[AssholeVictim he does deserve it sometimes]].
* YouAreGrounded: "Three Squares and an Ed". Eddy and Edd attempt to bust a grounded Ed out of his house. They get caught and are all grounded in the end. Ed and Eddy are grounded for unknown periods of time, while Edd gets off easier because he gets 3 days, which is plenty of time to spend with his thousands of ants.
** In "A Case of Ed", Kevin, for unknown reasons, has been grounded, and Eddy is not above taking advantage of this to torment him throughout the episode. However, Kevin gets off early for good behaviour, and [[LaserGuidedKarma uses this to get even with Eddy]].
* ZanyScheme: The majority of the episodes.
