** The variant on Recap/EdEddNEddysBooHawHaw takes this ''up to eleven'', where the screen is splattered with blood, thereby making the poor guy's impalement look [[BloodierAndGorier more violent and gruesome]]!

* Ed's [[PlotAllergy allergic reaction to Rolf's bunnies]] in "Flea-Bitten Ed". ''Especially'' [[BodyHorror all the blue spots that pop up all over his body as he swells up]].

*** Ed's [[TheScream ensuing scream]] of "BIG TROUBLE!" before his RoaringRampageOfRevenge is so loud and violent, it causes Edd to instantly fall into a dead faint and Eddy, who spent the episode being an [[NoSympathy unsympathetic]] {{Jerkass}} to Ed and, out of frustration towards his bad mood, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero caused his rampage by slapping him behind his head]], to be [[OhCrap fearful of him]]. Then, as Eddy desperately tries to [[PleaseWakeUp revive Edd]], Ed proceeds to completely trash the playground and comes dangerously close to ''breaking Plank in half'' while a horrified Jonny begs him to stop.

* The end of "Take This Ed and Shove It", which supposedly presented all the events until the episode as just the nostalgic memories of an elderly Eddy as he and his friends live miserable lives while married to the Kankers and longing for his lost youth as he laments the issues of old age. Even worse, [[HarsherInHindsight it was originally planned to be the last episode]].

* The a.k.a. Cartoon logo that appears at the end of every episode. Probably one of the reasons why kids never watched the full end credits.

** If you're too scared to look, it's a '''''[[{{Squick}} REALLY]]''''' graphic drawing of a person [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice getting impaled to death by a giant pencil]], causing his [[EyeScream eyeballs]] to pop out... and there's a few droplets of what looks like '''''blood''''' flying from the wound! Brrr... if you thought the Stretch Films logo from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' was scary and dream-haunting, the a.k.a. Cartoon logo is much worse.

* Ed's story in "Once Upon An Ed" where the Kanker Sisters eat radioactive mashed potatoes and turn into gigantic monstrous versions of themselves and chase the Eds; especially the part where they combine their faces and make this UncannyValley looking face. Even Eddy pointed out how surreal Ed's story was becoming.

* A lot of the [[MindScrew events]] in [[BizarroEpisode "One + One = Ed"]], which begin with the Eds' attempts to get rich by taking things apart snowballing into disassembling the space-time continuum itself. But after that, things get REALLY weird; their curiosity-fueled disassembly spree ends up ''destroying the universe'' and leaving the boys lost in a violently chaotic AcidTripDimension as a result. [[StatusQuoIsGod At least things do get better by the end, thankfully]].

[[AC:The show]]

* The end of "Take This Ed and Shove It", which supposedly presented all the events until the episode as just the nostalgic memories of an elderly Eddy as he and his friends live miserable lives while married to the Kankers and longing for his lost youth as he laments the issues of old age. Even worse, [[HarsherInHindsight it was originally planned to be the last episode]].
* Double D appearing as a "mole-mutant" in "Boom Boom Out Goes The Ed", especially when you consider how Rolf and Kevin managed to get out of the sewers unscathed.
** When Ed lights up his head with a flashlight, instead of a skull, we see a toast with holes for eye-sockets and melted butter smushed into the center. Now consider that Ed's favorite food is buttered toast...
* The scene in "Out with the Old, in with the Ed," in which the Kankers send the Eds to their new "homeroom." While May and Marie give their usual flood of kisses to Ed and Edd, who are too afraid/weak to fight back, what happens to Eddy before he gets his usual act is...really unnerving.
-->'''Eddy:''' Ok, THAT'S IT! I'm telling the teacher on you (Lee dressed as a teacher)! (''raises hand'')\\
'''Lee:''' (''bends down to Eddy's face* I'm all ears, ''my little teacher's pet!'' (''laughs and pushes him into the stall for kissing'')
** Before that, when the kids realize school starts tomorrow and none of them are prepared, they decide to steal all of Edd's supplies. ''By chopping down his door with an axe.''
* The ending of "Tight End Ed". The fact that Eddy is kidnapped by the rival team and Ed refusing to save him makes the ending a bit serious.
** Ed had a chance to save him, but had no idea he was in danger and just watched the bus drive away. Eddy actually ''cries'' when it looks Ed is going to save him.
* Rolf's SanitySlippage in "No Speak Da Ed". His NightmareFace [[https://ed.fandom.com/wiki/No_Speak_Da_Ed/Gallery?file=Vlcsnap-2017-04-02-11h03m44s278.png is also not pretty to look at]].
** The flashback which shows why Ed's wolf costume makes Rolf so uneasy: when he was a little boy back in {{The Old Country}}, he was ambushed by somebody wearing a similar wolf costume while herding sheep. Whether the person was a sheep rustler or just someone playing a very mean prank [[AmbiguousSituation is unclear]], but the incident [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes definitely had an effect on Rolf]] regardless.
* The cafeteria scene in "Smile For the Ed". The kids reach a whole new level of cruelty as they psychologically torture a kid, driving Eddy into having an honest to god ''panic attack''.
* "Run Ed Run", which is a very surreal episode to begin with, similar to season 2's "1+1=Ed". For some odd reason, despite taking place during a field trip to the Jawbreaker factory, the only kids present on the schoolbus, aside from the Ed's, is Jimmy, Sarah and Jonny, making the whole episode seem oddly desolate. The plot itself revolves around Sarah tricking Ed into thinking that the sky is falling, due to a feud between her and Eddy about who gets to sit at the front of the bus and get first crack at the jawbreakers. It results in [[MindScrew the Ed's somehow slamming into the sky, and breaking off a large chunk]], with the area behind the sky is shown as television static. Ed spends the end of the episode running around trying to tape the pieces of the sky back together whilst Double D [[MoodWhiplash gushes over what an amazing scientific discovery it is]].
** Sarah [[NauseaFuel after overstuffing herself full of jawbreakers at the end]] before eventually vomiting on Eddy.

* "A Fistful of Ed": Double D is seen as a horrendous bully for accidentally inflicting slapstick but still considerable injuries on others. The damage he inflicts terrifies the Cul-de-sac kids, the Kankers, and even his friends, with Ed being the most shocked. "Don't taunt the Double D, Eddy. [[ThousandYardStare I was there.]]"
** Rolf's X-ray shows that Edd accidentally ''cracked his skull open.''

* Ed going [[UnstoppableRage absolutely berserk]] in "Little Ed Blue" after he's pushed too far while in an especially bad mood; it's essentially a person acting like a wild and dangerously destructive animal while still mentally and physically human.
** ''Sarah'', [[SpoiledBrat of]] [[{{Jerkass}} all]] [[EnfantTerrible people]], [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness was afraid of him]], to put things into perspective.
** Ed lets out a DeathGlare at one point.
** How about when he [[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3OciaCsRryE/hqdefault.jpg rips his eyebrow in half?]]
*** Ed's [[TheScream ensuing scream]] of "BIG TROUBLE!" before his RoaringRampageOfRevenge is so loud and violent, it causes Edd to instantly fall into a dead faint and Eddy, who spent the episode being an [[NoSympathy unsympathetic]] {{Jerkass}} to Ed and, out of frustration towards his bad mood, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero caused his rampage by slapping him behind his head]], to be [[OhCrap fearful of him]]. Then, as Eddy desperately tries to [[PleaseWakeUp revive Edd]], Ed proceeds to completely trash the playground and comes dangerously close to ''breaking Plank in half'' while a horrified Jonny begs him to stop.
---->'''Ed:''' ''I WANT TO BE ALONE!!''
*** Someone actually drew a [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a8/b6/1b/a8b61b717ad0717fa74aa05273aa955f.jpg picture]] of what it might have looked like had Ed actually snapped Plank. It's harrowing to say the least.

* In "Run For Your Ed", after a sleepwalking Ed accidentally makes off with the Kankers' ship in a bottle, they turn the entire neighborhood upside down looking for it. And no, that's [[SceneryGorn not a figure of speech]]: Even after the Kankers eventually get their ship in a bottle back, the whole Cul De Sac is destroyed with the sounds of fire trucks & helicopters in the background.
-->'''Jimmy:''' IT'S A KANKER HISSY FIT!

* In "An Ed in the Bush", Rolf does something unspeakably traumatizing to the Eds that it causes them to hide in Ed's basement ''for three whole days'' in fear of the "Belly-Button Eater".

* Ed's story in "Once Upon An Ed" where the Kanker Sisters eat radioactive mashed potatoes and turn into gigantic monstrous versions of themselves and chase the Eds; especially the part where they combine their faces and make this UncannyValley looking face. Even Eddy pointed out how surreal Ed's story was becoming.
-->'''Eddy''': [[NoFourthWall Ed, your story's]] [[LampshadeHanging getting weird!]]

* In "Fool on the Ed" there's a part where the kids are laughing at the Eds. Jonny's face during this just looks really ...off.

* A lot of the [[MindScrew events]] in [[BizarroEpisode "One + One = Ed"]], which begin with the Eds' attempts to get rich by taking things apart snowballing into disassembling the space-time continuum itself. But after that, things get REALLY weird; their curiosity-fueled disassembly spree ends up ''destroying the universe'' and leaving the boys lost in a violently chaotic AcidTripDimension as a result. [[StatusQuoIsGod At least things do get better by the end, thankfully]].
** There's the moment Jimmy [[BodyHorror melts]] when the Eds take off his outline.

* A scene from "Urban Ed" where Jimmy is making his way around the cardboard people in the Eds' mock city, all while hearing the "people" laugh at and mock him. It's an oddly dark scene in an otherwise lighthearted episode.
* Sarah herself is pretty scary especially when she's pissed. Even though she looks like a normal innocent little girl and surprisingly submissive if confronted by someone who she doesn't expect will like Ed or Jimmy, she's really a walking, talking nightmare who's not afraid to kill a person out of anger.
** Such examples include "Quick Shot Ed" where the Eds scare Jimmy after taking his picture and her response is to become angry, yell "Eat doll!" and throw anything and everything at the Eds, including a ''dollhouse'' at Double D (which remains on his head for several scenes) and in "Brother, Can You Spare an Ed?" when after learning that Ed had spent money she gave him to buy her and Jimmy fudge on jawbreakers after being goaded into it by [[{{Jerkass}} Eddy]], her first instinct was to get mad and pounce on her brother to beat him up. Luckily, Double D was there to stop her, especially how Ed ''knew'' what was coming otherwise. To put it into further perspective, Ed is a badass who's impervious to pain and has super strength, yet what does he do in response to [[EnfantTerrible Sarah?]] ''Cower and scream at the top of his lungs.''
** There's something...unsettling about the scene in "Brother Can You Spare an Ed," where Ed is looking back and forth between the fudge Sarah asked him to get for her and Jimmy and the Jawbreakers that Eddy is trying to goad him into buying for the Eds instead. Every time Ed looks at the Fudge you can hear what sounds like jeering laughter, and Ed looks like he's about to have a mental breakdown and even starts physically shaking... Just what was going through the poor guy's head?
* After Ed accidentally lets Edd's ants loose in "Stop, Look and Ed", Edd starts choking him with his legs. It's pretty uncomfortable to watch, considering Edd is usually an extreme pacifist, especially seeing Ed trying to apologize to Edd during his "punishment".

* "The Day The Ed Stood Still" has Ed wearing a monster suit and became one with it, [[GoneHorriblyRight not just act, but]] '''[[GoneHorriblyRight become]]''' [[GoneHorriblyRight the monster]].
** Why it's so scary is for a long time, [[NothingIsScarier you don't see what the monster looks like.]] You just see the cul de sac kids grow more and more horrified, and slowly the monster gets them, '''One By One..'''
* When the Eds get trapped in a haunted house in "Honor Thy Ed" and fall into a GambitRoulette set up by the Kanker sisters, culminating in the Eds being forced to marry them.
** The whole "tunnel of love" scene is pretty disturbing. Especially since the Eds are mysteriously stripped naked halfway through it.

** In "Run For Your Ed", after a sleepwalking Ed accidentally makes off with their ship in a bottle, they turn the entire neighborhood upside down looking for it. And no, that's [[SceneryGorn not a figure of speech]]: Even after the Kankers eventually get their ship in a bottle back, the whole Cul De Sac is destroyed with the sounds of fire trucks & helicopters in the background.

* "Look Into My Eds" ends with the Kankers making the Eds think they're dogs and have them chained in the yards of their trailer home to fight over a shoe. It's rather disconcerting.

* From "Knock Knock, Who's Ed", Ed doesn't taken kindly to Eddy interrupting him when they finally find a TV on which to watch the ''Hot Rod Cyclops'' movie marathon: [[http://orig04.deviantart.net/9a7a/f/2014/122/0/a/movie_good_for_ed_________by_ultimatejkc1994-d7gt6fz.jpg "MOVIE GOOD FOR ED!"]] The scene displays one of the few moments Ed shows genuine anger and actually intimidates Edd, Eddy, and Rolf into sitting quietly as he watches his movie.

* The climax of "Boys Will Be Eds", where Nazz runs away in complete terror after being relentlessly harassed and pushed into a corner by Kevin, Jonny, and the Eds. Surprisingly, it's not PlayedForLaughs, and Nazz's [[TheScream horrified shrieking]] as she runs off is almost spine-freezing.
* "Dueling Eds", natch. ''Especially'' the ending. Rolf forces Eddy to fight him after the latter disrespected him by throwing some ForeignQueasine that all the neighborhood kids had to eat. After failing to convince him to call the duel off, Eddy and Rolf engage in a CurbStompBattle of the latter viciously whaling on the former with a giant fish. This causes Double D, who usually tries to be tolerant of Rolf's cultural traditions, to wonder if Rolf is just plain insane. Even worse, not only [[EmpathicEnvironment does the sky suddenly becomes dark and omnious during the fight]], but Eddy is seen beaten up in very disturbingly graphic way complete with some blood and ''teeth'' flying out of his mouth and then he's finished by being "sent off" into the abyss. After the fight, he (and the other Eds for no reason whatsoever) are given the "Eels of Forgiveness" by Rolf. Ed, unfortunately, is allergic to them, which causes him to [[BodyHorror morph into a giant half-human, half-fish monstrosity]] and the sight causes Double D to freak out and promptly pass out in terror, and unlike the "Flea-Bitten Ed" episode with his bunny allergy, Double D's fainting alone shows that his eel allergy ''isn't'' PlayedForLaughs.

* The insect hunting scene in "Nagged To Ed", especially when Ed gets stuck on the giant spider web...
-->'''Ed:''' Help me guys! I don't want the fluids drained from my body!
** The scene where it looks like three monsters (they're really the Kanker sisters) are after them and the Eds scream and the picture's colors invert.

* Eddy [[GoMadFromTheIsolation going crazy from having no kids to scam]] in "Laugh Ed Laugh" is surprisingly creepy. He does all kinds of wildly insane things, like making a turban out of his own tongue, eating acorns, fences, and fire hydrants, and believing that a mailbox is his own house.
** There is even a scene in the episode where it shows his brain explode.
*** '''''Into popcorn.'''''

* The Kanker sisters in general, which also counts as an In-universe example for every other character on the show. Despite being PlayedForLaughs, most of their antics are quite disturbing since most scenes involving them have them torture and/or [[BlackComedyRape rape]] the other kids, especially the Eds, in unsettling and odd ways. Whenever they show up, it won't end well for them.
** "We know where you live!"
** "A Twist of Ed" showed that they have no problem invading the Eds' houses. Lee even makes her move on Eddy while he was taking a shower (thankfully, he still had his [=PJs=] on.) The episode ends with them once again trapping the Eds for a ''second'' round of kissing for the day, with the implication that they will be there for a long time since Lee is keeping the only key [[VictoriasSecretCompartment in her shirt]]. The Kankers even briefly mock the Eds for their efforts to get rid of them by [[BadBadActing pretending to still be scared]] of them before pouncing on them. There are also no hidden romantic gestures like in the beginning of the episode, they are simply reestablishing their [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale "dominance" in their "relationship"]] and refusing to let the Eds "breakup" with them.
** Then there's the implication that they don't truly love the Eds, and that they only want men to push around, abuse, and do their chores for them while they goof off.

* Some of the title cards, done in a totally different style from the actual episodes, border on SurrealHorror in places.

* Eddy goes insane in several episodes in the series, most notably "Laugh Ed Laugh", "Who Let the Ed In", and "Take This Ed and Shove It", and it's uncomfortable to watch. Eddy punching himself and hitting his head on a tree in "Who Let the Ed In" and Eddy constantly hitting himself with his cane in "Take This Ed and Shove It" are disturbing examples.

* Any of Ed's [[BodyHorror allergic reactions]].
** "[[ItMakesSenseInContext FISH FACE!]]"

** Becomes AdultFear once you realize kids in real life can go through that situation if they're not careful.

** If you're too scared to look, it's a '''''[[{{Squick}} REALLY]]''''' graphic drawing of a person [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice getting impaled to death by a giant pencil]], causing his [[EyeScream eyeballs]] to pop out... and there's a few droplets of what looks like '''''blood''''' flying from the wound! Brrr.... Heck, it makes the Stretch Films logo from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' look like ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpZNpz13vZI this Nick Jr ID]]'' by comparison!

*** The variant on Recap/EdEddNEddysBooHawHaw takes this ''UpToEleven'', where the screen is splattered with blood, thereby making the poor guy's impalement look [[BloodierAndGorier more violent and gruesome]]!
