History EdEddNEddy / TropesQToZ

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: While the Eds [[TheChewToy typically bear the brunt of it]], no one in the cast is safe from physical punishment. The Kanker sisters stand out for this trope, particularly May.

** One of the show's morning and afternoon bumpers for Creator/CartoonNetwork features the Eds riding another rollercoaster, which ends with Edd's cheeks swollen and green, then vomiting in a lunch bag.

* TurtlePower: "Ed, do you know there's a turtle on your head?" "Yep."

* UltimateEvil: Evil Tim. [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane If he exists.]]

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Edd with Ed and Eddy. [[spoiler:UpToEleven in the movie but subverted near the end, when Eddy is forced to face the consequences of abusing [[TheDogBitesBack Edd]].]]

%%* SpoiledBrat: Sarah, taken [[UpToEleven]].

** Ed: Gravy! Rolf: You crazy!, laughing Nazz: This ''is'' stupid. Kevin: Dorks! Jimmy: And it was such a cute squirrel, too. Ouch! Wah-ha-ha-haaaa (that whiny crying he does from time to time, such as getting hoodwinked by Eddy with "Smilyland" or after getting maimed by his own eyelash curler).

** 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.

** Actually, ''every'' character in the show except Double-D and Jimmy have some degree of super strength. And yes, that includes even Nazz, since she's shown that she can kick or punch the Eds several feet away in the rare few times they've gotten her mad.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Marie and Rolf both have blue hair. When Rolf was a barber in "Take This Ed and Shove It", he also gave his patrons blue hair.
** In an odd variation, the characters also have pastel-colored tongues. WordOfGod is that the reason for it is Danny Autonucci's sons and their friends had eaten a bunch of candy that had colored their mouths and Danny thought it was amusing, so he gave the characters colored tongues.

*** Also, it was the only story to actually tell Johnny how the Eds got into the wall: They were chased there by the Kankers.

* ReboundBestFriend: In one episode, Johnny gets into a fight with [[CompanionCube his seemingly inanimate best friend]], Plank. The Eds spend the episode attempting to sell him another friend - ending with a meeting party they set up, in which Johnny goes insane trying to pick one, before finding Plank at the party and the two reconciling.

-->'''Eddy:''' Johnny! People ''really'' like it when you SAY WHY ALL THE TIME!!

* TheTalk: An entire episode dedicated to this: "I am Curious of This Ed". Sarah and Jimmy ask the other kids around the cul-de-sac where babies come from, with bland results. Nazz giggles and blushes, Kevin gets flustered, Rolf begins to tell them and then immediately states they are too young and kicks them out, Johnny explains but kind of misses the point using birds, Eddy tells a completely inaccurate story meant to scare them, Ed claims it's storks, and Double D uses bee reproduction to demonstrate childbirth from a scientific standpoint.

* RashomonStyle: In "Once Upon an Ed", the Eds try 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 of themselves (Kevin is a literal ButtMonkey, Rolf is a literal pinhead, Jimmy is still wearing diapers, [[WalkingSwimsuitScene Nazz is wearing a bikini]] and Sarah has a foghorn for a voice). Edd's version is in a pristine world where his crazy friends always screw things up and he has to lecture them (and most importantly, Eddy and Ed are cowed by his scoldings and listen rather than argue and dismiss his lecture). Ed's is just... bizarre to say the least. His version was a greyscale world where The Kankers become rampaging {{Kaiju}} by eating mashed potatoes and shoot lasers out of their armpits using chickens. Oh, and Ed has the ability to fly.

* RashomonStyle: The Eds trying 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: (Kevin is a literal ButtMonkey, "Stretch" i.e. Rolf is a super slim simpleton, Jimmy is still wearing diapers, [[MsFanservice Nazz is wearing a bikini]] and Sarah looks the same but has [[AdaptationalWimp lost all her toughness]]). Edd's version is in a pristine world where his crazy friends always screw things up and he has to lecture them (and most importantly, they cower and listen rather than argue and dismiss his lecture). Ed's is just... bizarre to say the least. His version was a greyscale world where Edd is TheUnintelligible, The Kankers become rampaging {{Kaiju}} by eating mashed potatoes and Ed has the ability to fly.
** The funniest thing about it was Ed's story that had to have the most realistic portrayal of the kids' 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 overly dramatic little boy he is). "Farewell cruel world!" Except dream Kevin used the word "dork" in a sentence not about the Eds ("I'm dorkin', man!"), and all Nazz did was giggle. Then again, this was Ed's view of the world. [[KindheartedSimpleton Meaning while he has a hard time understanding people, he doesn't look down on them.]]

* TotallyRadical: Kevin. Nazz to a lesser extent.

* RestaurantOwningEpisode: At the start of many episodes, the Eds run mock restaurants all the time selling off food or inedible crap disguised to look like food ([[PaperThinDisguise albeit poorly]]).

-->'''Edd:''' [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Looks like the rabbits have been practicing their multiplication tables]]

* TeamRocketWins: There is the occasional episode where the Eds (or at least Eddy) manage to successfully pull off a scam and get away unscathed.

* TheToothHurts: Jimmy has to wear a retainer because [[spoiler: one of Eddy's scams caused him to bite down on a bowling pin, ruining his teeth.]]

** Ed's voice is higher in the pilot. But his voice gets subtly higher in late season one.

* RageQuit: Rolf does this during a spelling bee when he can't spell "colonial", which gets an applause from Rolf's nana.

** Kevin's voice gets subtly younger as the series goes on.

** All of the cul-de-sac kids, particularly in the very early episodes, seem to hold contempt for the Eds, even without Kevin's influence (Jonny is the only exception).

* SpySpeak

* SquirrelsInMyPants: Occurs three times in the show itself
** "Flea Bitten Ed:" Rolf's rabbits jump into Ed's jacket, causing him to squirm around
*** This can double into the {{Squick}} factor, because when the rabbits first did this, there was only 2, but when Ed gets up, there are 4 rabbits on his head. Edd references this at the end of the episode

* StaticElectricity: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyrzaoxgpwc Zapity Zap Zap]].

*** In the pilot, Eddy' voice was slightly higher and more teenaged and pubescent sounding, due to his voice actor's age.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: It is debatable which side the show leans closer towards. While the first season leaned closer to Idealism, with the series mostly conveying [[ChildrenAreInnocent childhood innocence]] through its characters, Season 2-onwards leans almost entirely on Cynicism and KidsAreCruel, with most of the characters being absolutely horrible and even the ones who are [[{{NotSoAboveItAll}} usually sweet can turn into utter Jackasses in certain cases.]]

** Edd has "Careful, Eddy" in [[{{LighterAndSofter}} Season 1]], which was [[{{EarlyInstallmentWeirdness}} last used in "A Glass of Warm Ed"]]
