** For all Rolf's mistreatment of Wilfred and [[BaitTheDog pretending to be sad when the pig wanders off]] so he could prepare to beat Wilfred with his shoe, when he turns on and attacks Rolf, which the latter's head suck in a meat grinder for a period of time, it is deserved on Rolf's behalf.

** Despite the Ed's scam having nothing to do with them and they were completely unharmed by it, Sarah and Jimmy choosing to follow the other kids to see them beat up the Eds, the two of them being captured, tormented, and [[MadeASlave enslaved]] by the Kanker sisters ,while trying to follow the Eds and the other kids, and can be considered this.

** TheMovie also deconstructs the AmusingInjuries trope. First, it's deconstructed with the injuries all the kids had, which were horrifying, and rightly so. Second, with [[spoiler:Eddy's brother's beatings on]] Eddy having resulted in his inferiority complex and jerkassery. It wasn't rare for the cul-de-sac kids to pick on the Eds, but they were the same age and often had a reason to attack them. [[spoiler:Eddy's brother is definitely older and physically stronger than Eddy. The cruel way he beats him up just because he asked for protection from the enraged neighborhood kids revolts even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Sarah and the Kankers]]. Now we know why Eddy can [[FridgeHorror take so much punishment]]...]]

** For all Rolf's mistreatment of Wilfred and [[BaitTheDog pretending to be sad when the pig wanders off]] so he could prepare to Wilfred, when he turns on and attacks Rolf, which the latter's head suck in a meat grinder for a period of time, it is deserved on Rolf's behalf.

** Despite the Ed's scam having nothing to do with them and they were completely unharmed by it, Sarah and Jimmy choosing to follow the other kids beat up the Eds, the two of them being captured, tormented, and [[MadeASlave enslaved]] by the Kanker sisters ,while trying to follow the Eds and the other kids, and can be considered this.

* LaserGuidedKarma: While Kevin and Nazz were hunting for the Eds to get revenge, Kevin showed more care towards his bike than to her, not caring when she was not. [[spoiler:This eventuality resulted in Nazz not wanting to be in a relationship with him ever again, and Kevin losing his beloved bike when it is destroyed after the Kanker sisters trick him.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Eddy's brother]]:''' Just for old times sake, let's play... ''"Uncle"''.\\

* AnAesop:
** A true friend is someone who treats you with love, trust and respect.
** The key to learning from your mistakes is to admit them and face the consequences, regardless of how hard they might be.
** You don’t need to live up to someone’s expectations or legacy to get people to like you.
** Sometimes, the people you admire are not as amazing as they are made out to be.
** If revenge is all you ever think about, it will make you no better than the person who wronged you.
** No matter how many times a person has wronged you, maybe all the person really needs is a friend.
** You can't keep treating your friends badly and expecting them to keep tolerating it. At some point, they will get fed up.

** [[spoiler:The Eds are not only redeemed for their past scams, they instantly become friends with the other cul-de-sac kids and get defended by them when Jonny shows up, but it's clear they had seen Eddy had suffered enough by this point to have a tearful JerkassRealization and was ready to take his lumps after giving a sincere apology. Likewise, the Eds forgive the other cul-de-sac kids for all the mistreatment they put the Eds through for years, and it's clear that the kids had suffered enough at the hands of the Kanker Sisters as retribution for their horrible behavior, and after seeing how Eddy's brother treated the Eds, most notably Eddy, it leads them to have a silent, but guilt-filled JerkassRealization of their own, leading them to get over their animosity towards the Eds and stick up for them against Eddy's brother.]]

* BeyondRedemption: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When the Eds go on the run, Double D tries to get Eddy and Ed to take the situation that they're in seriously. [[spoiler:However, when Ed and Eddy trick Double D into thinking that they died in quicksand, Double D began walking back home declaring his intentions to face his consequences than wonder aimlessly with his so-called friends. He has a change of heart when Eddy drops his NeverMyFault attitude and admits that he was to blame for their predicament, which convinces Double D that Eddy wasn't irredeemable.]]

* OffToSeeTheWizard: The Eds go from their little cul-de-sac to seek Eddy's brother and get the help they need while the kids travel fast behind, ready to rip them limb from limb. Along the way, the Eds get what they truly needed; a brain for Ed[[note]][[spoiler:he uses his head and a door to knock out Eddy's brother]][[/note]], a spine for Double D[[note]][[spoiler:Edd stands up to Eddy and his abusive brother]][[/note]], and a heart for Eddy[[note]][[spoiler:Eddy admits that he's only at fault for the trouble he caused them and the rest of the kids]][[/note]]. And by doing so they get their happy ending without needing Eddy's brother, who turns out to be of no help.

** TheMovie also deconstructs the AmusingInjuries trope. First, it's deconstructed with the injuries all the kids had, which were horrifying, and rightly so. Second, with [[spoiler:Eddy's brother's beatings on]] Eddy having resulted in his inferiority complex and jerkassery. It wasn't rare for the cul-de-sac kids to pick on the Eds, but they were the same age and had more or less comparable chances. [[spoiler:Eddy's brother is definitely older and physically stronger than Eddy. The cruel way he beats him up just because he asked for protection from the enraged neighborhood kids revolts even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Sarah and the Kankers]]. Now we know why Eddy can [[FridgeHorror take so much punishment]]...]]

** It also deconstructs, and reconstructs the WithFriendsLikeThese trope. Because of the poor decisions that Eddy makes in this movie, it makes Edd question his friendship with Eddy. Eddy (and Ed) finally cross the line when [[spoiler:they play a DudeNotFunny joke by pretending to drown. Edd and Eddy get into a fight and after Edd throws Eddy off of him, he snaps and says that he would rather face the consequences of his actions, than to hang around with a "so-called friend," thus ending his friendship with Eddy. Eddy ends up feeling remorse for his actions and cries. Edd ends up forgiving Eddy and they both reconcile]].

* JerkassHasAPoint: Double D hits his RageBreakingPoint and angrily lashes out at Eddy for his irresponsibility, pride and never listening to him. Eddy fires back at Double D, however, pointing out that for all his [[HolierThanThou supposed moral high ground]], he still goes along with Eddy's schemes even against his better judgement and he's the one who built the machine that triggered the NoodleIncident that got them chased out of the cul-de-sac in the first place. Double D in turn fires ''[[HypocriteHasAPoint this]]'' back by pointing out it was a harmless enough scheme until Eddy once again didn't listen to him and pushed the red button.

** Ed and Eddy keep pulling some [[DudeNotFunny poorly timed pranks]] on Double D during their on adventure, but the last one, when they pretend to [[QuicksandSucks drown in quicksand]], makes Double D so fed up he ends their friendship. However, fortunately for them, Eddy gave a meaningful and sincere apology to Double D, which is enough to convince him not to end their friendship.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: [[spoiler:Eddy's brother]] clobbers Edd ''with Eddy'' for his audacity to stand up to him.
