History Recap / EdEddNEddyS4E6PainInTheEd

* NeverMyFault: When Sarah beats up Edd and Eddy for destroying the violin, the latter two play the blame game with Eddy blaming Edd for technically breaking the violin and Edd blaming Eddy for starting the whole conflict in the first place.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While Eddy is right to point out how the irritation and destruction that Ed's playing that he tries to find ways to destroy it, Edd counters that doing so will have a spying Jimmy have Sarah punish them for it. However, it appears Edd is more on the "beauty" of the violin then the consequence of Sarah's wrath.

** Edd likewise insists to the end that Ed will eventually get better in the face of all evidence to the contrary and keeps insisting all the pain and suffering Ed's horrible playing causes is worth the price for a sweet melody that will never come about. After the violin is finally destroyed, he mopes about how it will never produce classical music "again", despite the fact that it ''never'' did which causes Eddy look over at Edd with an annoyed 'seriously?' look.

** While Eddy isn't exactly being subtle about it, he does have a point that Ed's awful violin playing is actively destructive to the Cul-de-Sac. It becomes even more justified after Ed barges into Eddy's room unannounced and decides to practice there without getting Eddy's permission first, coupled with Edd's willingness to let him and the other kids suffer because of the violin being "symbolic art" and "cultural learning". [[BothSidesHaveAPoint Even with their own point that Sarah would punish them and made sure Jimmy was watching.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: In some way, Edd’s ironic accidental destruction of the violin despite trying to protect it from Eddy and his beatdown at the hands of Sarah is this due to spending the bulk of the episode having appalling delusions that Ed will get better with the violin despite blatant evidence that he ''never'' will, in addition to being completely unsympathetic to the annoyance and destruction Ed is causing with it and betraying Eddy by sabotaging the plan.

-->'''Eddy''': ''(after finding Edd hiding with a pair of earmuffs on)'' Ah-ha! I was right! Ed stinks!

* EveryoneHasStandards: It was so obvious Eddy glued carpet to his pits that even Ed wasn't stupid enough to believe it was armpit hair.

* NeverMyFault: When Sarah beats up Edd and Eddy for destroying the violin, the latter two play the blame game with Eddy blaming Edd for destroying the violin and Edd blaming for starting the whole conflict.

* DreadfulMusician: Ed is so '''bad''' on the violin that his playing not only peels the bark of trees but also ruins the wheels on Kevin's bike. At least he is under no illusion that he is (or ever will be) a good player, unlike Edd.

* DownerEnding: The violin gets smashed anyway, and Jimmy rats out the Eds to Sarah, who unfairly beats up Edd and Eddy, although it is somewhat deserved on them (since Edd ignored how bad Ed's playing was and Eddy was the one that wanted to destroy it despite the risks). Ed uses Eddy as a makeshift violin to avoid the same fate. Though it's implied Sarah may let it slide since it's at Eddy's expense.

* NoSympathy: Edd does not care that Ed's playing is annoying everybody and causing physical damage to his surroundings, preferring to baselessly insist that it will improve and become enjoyable at some point when it is clear it will not. He doesn't even react to Ed barging into Eddy's room unannounced to practice with it, and treats Eddy's hostile yet justified response as though the latter was in the wrong.

* PetTheDog: Eddy, while not being nice about wanting to destroy the violin, is only doing it because of the excruciating pain and irritation it brings to him, Ed, and the other kids. He even encourages Ed to run away from his sister's wrath after getting beat up by her.

* HollywoodMagnetism: To sabotage the destruction of Ed's violin, Edd feeds Rolf's pig Wilfred a magnet. As she walks by, the magnet attracts Ed's music stand, and Ed follows it out of harm's way.
