History EdEddnEddy / TropesHToP

** 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.

* PeekABangs: Marie sports a mixture of the sexy/deceptive variety.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Nazz.
* HairTriggerTemper: Sarah, full stop. Eddy, too, post-{{Flanderization}}

* LovingBully: 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.
%%** The Kankers, of course.

* OutDamnedSpot: Parodied in an early episode where Edd is shown desperately trying to scrub off a grass stain as it were a blood stain. When this fails, he falls on his knees and gives a SkywardScream.
--> '''Edd''': STUBBORN GRASS STAIN!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

* LuckyTranslation: In "Fa-la-la-la Ed", Ed thinks it's Christmas in the middle of July, and everyone is surprised at his calculation. In Swedish, Christmas is "Jul" and July is "Juli", with the same pronunciation on the "jul" word ("you-l"). So, it's ''really'' fitting in the Swedish dub, where instead of confused, they seem to rather understand Ed's calculation from the words, and just thought it weird but expected from a random guy like him.

* 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''.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Did Ed successfully summon [[UltimateEvil Evil Tim,]] or was the flock of crows attacking the Eds just a coincidence?

-->'''Ed:''' (As Eddy) Kids will pay big money to ride a blimp! You're a genius, Double-D!

--->''Ed, Edd, ‘n Eddy''
--->''Sittin’ in a tree,''
--->''K-I-S-S-I-N-G…''

-->'''Eddy:''' You're supposed to be the smart one, Double D; you're messing up our group dynamics!

-->'''Kevin:''' ''Man'' [[OverusedRunningGag that's old]]!

-->'''Ed:''' Allow me to re-irritate.

--->'''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!]]''

--->'''Jimmy''': Are you looking for trouble? 'Cause I'll flip you like an omelette!''

-->'''Eddy:''' I'd swear, but [[MediaWatchdog Standards]] won't let me.

-->'''The Eds:''' [[SayMyName KANKERS!]]

-->'''Eddy:''' Ed was flying, sky-writing...when...he ran out of syllables!
-->'''Ed:''' (Edd pulling him from the "wreckage") Ow, my liver! Ow, my lasagna!
-->'''Edd:''' (Softly) Ed, lasagna isn't a major organ.
-->'''Ed:''' It isn't?
-->'''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!
-->'''Ed:''' (Being dragged by Double D) Ow, my finger nails! Ow, my skin! Ow...[[MoodWhiplash hi, Kevin!]]

-->'''Eddy:''' Take a seat Sockhead, to the greatest show on Earth! *whips out some popcorn*\\
(beat)
-->'''Edd:''' Are you gonna share those?

** FreudianTrio: The Eds usually follow the "Ego, Super Ego, 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 Super Ego, 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.

* PrematurelyMarkedGrave: A variation of this appears in "Know it All Ed", in which a squirt gun craze (actually turkey basters) cause 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.

* MadnessMantra: "Shower, shower, shower..." Edd goes off the deep end when he can't start his morning with a shower. For comparison: [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls 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.

* NiceHat: Edd, Kevin and [[spoiler:Eddy's brother.]]

** Kevin is the JerkJock who always insults the title characters. 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.

* JerkassBall:'''Everybody''' in this show has acted like a genuine jerk in at least one episode, including the most innocent 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!

* MadeOfIron: ''Every single character'' is able to survive things no kid, let alone ''human being'', should be able to survive, from being crushed by a ''house'' to ''having their own face ripped off''.

* MurphysLaw: The Eds are frequent victims of this.
** Jimmy even acknowledges this trope in "Cry Ed":
--->'''Jimmy:''' Murphy's Law, do your stuff!

* PantyShot: Nazz in a couple of episodes ("Boom Boom, Out Goes The Ed" most notably).

** After slipping on a banana peel in another episode:

** In another episode:

* 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 another episode, he's part of the cheerleading squad along with Sarah and Nazz, while all the other boys are in the football team.

* 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 another episode, Jimmy's apparently so weak that he can't even move snow or make a snow angel without getting hurt.

** In one episode, Nazz surprises everyone by quoting the Workers Rights Act, saying "A babysitter's gotta know these things!" afterwards.

* HypnoFool: In one episode, everyone but the Kanker Sisters and Jonny. Yes, even [[CompanionCube Plank]].

** One episode 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.

* InvisibleWall: In one episode, 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.

** Kevin is the JerkJock who always insults the title characters. In one episode 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.

** 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 one episode where the Eds were trapped in a "haunted" house and pretending to be attacked by ghosts, she squeals: "Somebody save my idiot brother!"

* JustEatGilligan: After being locked out of Ed's house by [[BrattyHalfPint Sarah]] in one episode, the Eds begin to scour the entire Cul-de-sac for somewhere they can watch the Monster Movie Marathon. Cue this exchange:

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: Edd actually lampshades this in one episode, 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?!"

** In one episode, 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.

* MattressTagGag: In one episode, Eddy torments goodie two shoes Edd by ripping a tag off his mattress (while Edd's hat was tied to the ceiling light).

** 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 one episode where the Kids celebrate Jimmy's birthday.

** In one episode, 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.

* OneOfTheGirls: Jimmy prefers to hang out with Sarah and Nazz because he has similar interests to them. One episode has him hang out with the two as opposed to going go-karting with Kevin, Jonny, and Rolf. In another episode, he's part of the cheerleading squad along with Sarah and Nazz, while all the other boys are in the football team.

* OwMyBodyPart: Lampshaded in one episode where the Eds stage a plane crash in Kevin's yard, claiming it was the result of Ed's attempts at sky-writing.

* 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 take it UpTo11 when they 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.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every title is a play on a popular phrase, or the title of a related work, with "Ed" replacing at least one syllable.
