Beware of spoilers!

---

General

• Aerith and Bob: The cul-de-sac kids consist of Sarah, Jimmy, Kevin, Jonny and... Nazz and Rolf. Rolf's name at least makes sense since he's a Funny Foreigner of indeterminate Northern/Eastern European origin (his homeland being referred to only as The Old Country), but other than the possibility that Nazz is named after a band, her name is the strangest.
• Aesop Amnesia: After all the times they've been scammed, you'd think they would know better than to give the Eds a single cent ever again. Of course, the Eds do frequently make legit services and products, but those are too far and few between to justify continued payments.
• Characterization Marches On: Downplayed. Even in season 1, the kids don't like the Eds and sometimes pick on them even without being provoked (such as ridiculing Edd for being weak, Eddy for being short, Sarah and Jimmy torturing them during Sarah's tea party, etc.) but most of them still tolerate them better than in later seasons, where a beating and/or cruelty would be wrought onto them at every occasion. They also did invite the Eds sometimes, if reluctantly ("Ed-n-Seek") and Kevin was initially willing to give them jawbreakers ("A Boy and His Ed").
• Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Excluding Plank, mainly beause he's a piece of wood:
  • Both Nazz and Jimmy are the blondes (but, that's only because Jimmy's own hair color blends in with his skin color).
  • Both Rolf and Jonny are the brunettes (even though Rolf's hair is dark blue, whereas Jonny is revealed to have brown hair in both "Don't Rain on My Ed" and "Every Which Way But Ed").
  • Both Kevin and Sarah are completely the redheads.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Kevin and Nazz respectively. Kevin can occasionally get moody, especially towards the Eds, and Nazz is there to at least make him mellow out more (since she's typically nicer than him), even in the slightest way.
• Bully and Wimp Pairing: Sarah bullies her older brother Ed and his friends and Jimmy is a complete wuss.
• Comedic Sociopathy: They often result to violence when the Eds scam them, beating them up to get their money back. Sometimes when the Eds aren't around they end up beating each other up for petty reasons. Their violence is always played for laughs.
• Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: Kevin and Nazz are stereotypically cool but all the other kids have "uncool" qualities that would make them unpopular in any other show (Sarah would be unpopular for being a Spoiled Brat with a Hair-Trigger Temper, Jimmy would be unpopular with other guys and would be an easy target for bullies for his feminine interests and hobbies, Jonny would be unpopular due to his strange antics and publicly claiming a hunk of wood as his best friend, and Rolf would be unpopular for his culture's strange customs). In spite of this, they are all friends (even in the school episodes). Justified because they all see the Eds as the resident outcasts/losers and team up against them, and also due to the Minimalist Cast there are no other people to hang out with.
• A Day in the Limelight:
  • "See No Ed" for all of them, especially Kevin. The Eds are nowhere to be seen and the other kids start searching for them.
  • "I Am a Curious Ed" focuses on Jimmy and Sarah trying to find out where babies come from. The Eds are entirely absent for the first half of the episode.
• Depending on the Writer: How sympathetic (or not) the kids are and their attitude towards the Eds varies by episode. Rolf, Nazz, and Jonny are the most likely to be kind to them. Kevin and Sarah are almost always hostile on sight while Jimmy is always afraid.
• Disproportionate Retribution: If one Ed causes any trouble, they usually beat up all three of them to a merciless degree.
• Enemy Mine: Before the ending movie, the Eds and the other kids do team up with each other from time to time, most notably in the alien invasion special. The kids can be downright friendly when they aren't be ripped off or pranked and it's an important reminder that the Eds are still Villain Protagonist characters in a way since their goals do involve dishonesty a lot.
• Everyone Has Standards: At worst, most of them (usually Kevin and Sarah) despise the Eds (usually Eddy), and gleefully punish and/or humiliate them when given the chance, even when what they did wasn't entirely their fault or they had nothing to do with it at all. At best, they can force themselves to tolerate them as long as they behave...which rarely lasts long, usually thanks to Eddy. However, they do show concern when it seems like something really horrible may have happened to them, and all of them were completely appalled by the way Eddy's brother brutally abused him and Edd, even the ones who were the biggest assholes toward them.
• Forgiveness: The kids, mostly Kevin and Sarah, have long held a grudge towards the Eds, especially Eddy, for their many scams, even though they tried to be friends with them at times. However, in the movie, after hunting them down just to get revenge for a backfired scam, the kids of the Cul-de-Sac, excluding Jonny, not only realized that Eddy acted the way he did because of how his brother treated him but his heartfelt apology convinced them to forgive him and the rest of the Eds for everything they've done.
• Free-Range Children: They all venture around town without adult supervision. Granted, most of them are in their pre-teens or early teens.
• Freudian Excuse:
  • Episodes like "See No Ed" imply the Eds have been so relentless in badgering the other kids with scams in the past that it's left them psychologically scarred, giving a good reason for why they often have a very abrasive disposition towards them, even when they're not causing harm. At one point Kevin becomes so paranoid that he believes that anything going wrong is a result of the Eds being out to get him.
  • In The Movie, the kids are at their most ferociously hellbent on making the Eds suffer for their latest blunder. In conjunction, animators seem to make a point to retain their Amusing Injuries from the Eds' newest scam that they don't recover from as scenes follow. The Eds' antics effectively scarred them. Apparently Jimmy's Braces of Orthodontic Overkill turned out to be from a past scam as well.
  • In the case of Eddy at least, most references to his older brother throughout the show imply he was the neighbourhood's much feared bully, and Eddy through relation was allowed to walk all over the other kids as well. It can be inferred that Eddy is suffering a much deserved Karma Houdini Warranty now that he's gone.
• Friendly Enemy: Rolf (when he's not with Kevin), Nazz, Jonny and Jimmy (when he's not with Sarah) are usually pretty nice to the Eds—at least, until they aren't pushed too far by their scams. Only Sarah and Kevin are straight-up antagonistic all the time.
• The Friends Who Never Hang: Out of all the kids Kevin and Sarah spend the least amount of time together, even though they are the ones who antagonize the Eds the most. Justified, as they are a pre-teen boy and a little girl who have little in common outside of their mutual antagonism to the Eds.
• Gullible Lemmings: Some of the Eds' scams obviously come off as fraudulent, and yet they fall for them almost every time. A perfect example is in the episode "Too Smart For His Own Ed." To elaborate, the kids start treating Edd differently from Ed simply because Edd lost the spelling bee to Ed for misspelling "gravy." Eddy exploits this situation, and creates the "Egghead Ed" scam. The kids actually paid Eddy the money and trusted ED to complete their assignments and expected passing grades. The kids later had the gall to act shocked when they end up with failing grades on their assignments (granted they were still scammed).
• Hero Antagonist: All of them, since the Eds can be considered Villain Protagonists who try to scam the other kids out of their money in most episodes.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: Rolf and Kevin, Jonny and Plank.
• He Who Fights Monsters: Implied heavily in "See No Ed", which gives the kids a Sympathetic P.O.V. episode that shows how much being harassed by the Eds their entire lives has worn on their nerves. Jimmy even remorsefully admits that he constantly wished to be rid of them forever out of desperation. They're not proud of their contempt, but the Eds are that infuriating to put up with. Reaches its peak in The Movie, where the Eds' most appalling and catastrophic scheme yet leaves the kids wanting blood.
• Horrible Judge of Character: The kids continually patronize Eddy's scams in spite of the many times he's tried to fleece them in the past. Even worse in some specific episodes: in "Too Smart For His Own Ed" they seriously think that Edd is dumb and Ed is a genius, in "A Fistful of Ed" they think Edd is a violent bully (when he was just being a Lethal Klutz), and many other examples.
• Hypocrite Has a Point: Sure, they often as not bully the Eds without provocation despite hating it when the Eds give them trouble unprovoked but it's not entirely without justification given that the Eds (Especially Eddy) tend to cause them trouble.
• Hypocritical Heartwarming: In The Movie, the kids (except Jimmy and Sarah) chase the Eds down after a failed scam, only to end up attacking Eddy's brother upon seeing him abusing the Eds.
• Idiot Ball: In "Dim Lit Ed", along with Eddy and Ed (though justified; he's always stupid). It's constantly lampshaded by Double D in that episode.
• Jerkass Realization: While a good deal of what they dish out to Eddy is justified, in the movie, they were seemingly wanting to MURDER the Eds...until they (sans Jonny) see what Eddy's brother does to Eddy and Double D. Witnessing his cruelty for pleasure demeanor made them realize what they were slowly becoming and see the downside of such behavior, and all of them band together to support Eddy instead of taking their revenge.
• Just Eat Gilligan: Most—if not all—of their problems wouldn't have happened if they just simply ignored the Eds and their scamming. Then again, the Eds sometimes are VERY persistent.
• Karma Houdini: Mostly Kevin and Sarah, but whichever of them is holding the Jerkass Ball often avoids getting punished for wronging the Eds.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: They share the Eds' Iron Butt Monkey status on some occasions, usually when they're collateral damage to one of their scams Gone Horribly Wrong.
• Kids Are Cruel: Sometimes they bully the Eds even when they don't provoke them. They even bully each other when the Eds aren't around. On an individual basis, this is usually averted with pretty much everyone except Sarah and Kevin.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Rarely. There are times when the kids do get what's coming to them for acting like jerks. For example:
  • In "Too Smart For His Own Ed," they treat Edd badly while allowing themselves to get scammed and actually thinking that ED would be smart enough to complete their assignments. They all end up with failing grades as a result.
  • In the movie, Sarah and Jimmy end up getting captured by the Kankers and are forced to be their pack mules. Kevin also gets beaten up by Nazz and gets his bike thrashed many times.
  • Jimmy being on the receiving end of slapstick in later episode of the show balances out his karma houdinis.
• Mirror Character: To the Eds as a group. Specifically, each one of the Eds is similar to a pair of the kids.
  • From Ed, Jonny and Rolf. Like him, Rolf is a big, strong, eccentric guy with an affinity for animals who often says strange things and Jonny is a happy and friendly Cloudcuckoolander with a huge imagination.
  • From Edd, Jimmy and Nazz. Like him, Nazz serves as the mature, kind, and reasonable member of the group and Jimmy is a shy, delicate, weak boy who tends to be a bit whiny and has a wide vocabulary.
  • From Eddy, Kevin and Sarah. Like him, Kevin is a jerkish, arrogant show-off who often mocks other people and Sarah is very bratty and hot-tempered. In this case (especially Kevin's), it probably is intentional given Eddy's enmity with these two while the other Eds mostly get along with their counterparts.
• Misplaced Retribution: A recurring theme throughout episodes is that whenever one of the Eds causes problems for them, they either punish a different Ed, or both of the other Eds for it.
  • In "My Fair Ed", the kids hold Edd responsible for Ed and Eddy's antics, stating that if he doesn't get them under control, he'll pay the price. Kevin even threatens to tie Edd's legs like a pretzel, which would have certainly left him a paraplegic.
  • In "Ed, Edd, n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw", after Ed beats up all the kids, believing them to be monsters, the kids go after and beat up Edd and Eddy while Ed is left alone.
• Moral Myopia: The kids (usually Sarah and Kevin) have no problems picking on the Eds unprovoked, but get upset when the Eds cause them trouble unprovoked.
• Never My Fault: Sure, the Eds frequently scam them out of their money, but in all honesty, the kids pretty much bring it on themselves for continuing to give them money each and every time (especially if said scams don't look legit nor safe in the first place).
• Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Nazz and Jonny (nice) are usually friendly to the Eds and don't hate them unless the Eds have done something to them like make fun of them or scam them, Sarah and Kevin are the (mean) who hate the Eds with a passion and keep mistreating them no matter what and are sometimes mean to the other kids too, and Rolf and Jimmy (in-between) are sometimes nice to the Eds but other times hate them like the other kids.
• Noble Male, Roguish Male: Rolf (noble) and Kevin (roguish). Rolf is tough, but he is one of the nicest and most compassionate kids. He only gets angry when he gets provoked. Kevin is rude, tough, and a bullying Jerk Jock towards the Eds (and even Jimmy & Jonny). He himself has a hot temper.
• No Full Name Given: Except Nazz, whose last name is revealed in the movie.
• Not So Above It All: Nazz, Rolf, Jonny, and Jimmy are the nicest kids out of the six, but there are times when they unnecessarily act like jerks to the Eds. They even like to laugh at each other's misfortunes as well.
• Parental Issues: If you pay close enough attention, the kids (much like the Eds—except for possibly Kevin and Nazz) are implied to have family issues at home —
  • Rolf's expected to perform all (or at least most of) the chores on his family's farm.
  • Jonny's allowed to keep a piece of wood as a friend in public.
  • Sarah and Jimmy are implied to be spoiled by their parents (more so in Sarah's case) while they each have a parent who forces them into interests and hobbies they don't actually want.
    • In Sarah's case, it's implied that her and Ed's mom forces her into being more girly and feminine, if Sarah having a girly room but hiding her boyish-related items in her toy chest is any indication.
    • For Jimmy, he claims that his dad forces him to play hockey, which Jimmy hates.
• Pet the Dog:
  • In "See No Ed", some of them start to worry about The Eds when they go missing and can't find them.
  • In the movie, when the Eds are welcomed by Eddy's Brother, the kids actually seem to feel happy for the Eds' victory in the family reunion with even Kevin admitting to back off until "next time". Cue the horrible reveal of Eddy's Brother's jerkwad personality and the kids rallying to their longtime enemy's defense, realizing Eddy was only a jerk because of his terrible experiences. With this, the kids finally give Eddy a chance to be their friend like he so desperately wanted.
  • Throughout the series, the kids, even Kevin (and Sarah, but only when it comes to Edd), would go out of their way to treat Ed and Double D with SOME respect during choice moments...until Eddy showed up. There were quite a few moments of genuine friendships between them with Ed and Double D. Particularly with Rolf, Jonny 2x4, and Plank with Ed and Jimmy with Double D.
• Ping Pong Naïveté: Due to Status Quo Is God, they consistently fall for the Eds' scams despite having learned not to in the previous episode.
• Platonic Life-Partners: Sarah and Jimmy are definitely this—while it's implied that Jimmy has a crush on Sarah, they're shown to have more of a brother/sister-relationship, with Sarah often acting as a(n) (over)protective big sister/"mother hen" towards Jimmy.
• Rage Breaking Point: The whole neighborhood reaches their collective breaking point in the movie, wherein whatever it was that the Eds were scheming backfired yet again and dealt a lot of pain to almost everyone. Despite previous scams causing even more mayhem and destruction, it was this particular day that everyone finally had enough after what’s implied to be a whole summer and a school year's worth of problems, forcing the Eds to run and the kids to chase after them in what’s at best going to end in the beating of a lifetime.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Jonny is an oblivious and goofy boy (sensitive), Kevin is an arrogant biker (manly), and Rolf is easy to anger, but is usually nice (manly to Jonny, sensitive to Kevin). All of them are the manly to Jimmy's sensitive (prone to tears and effeminate).
• Seven Deadly Sins: Each of the neighborhood kids could be a representative for each of those sins.
  • Pride: Kevin, due to his typical alpha-male personality, along with the fact that he's the most popular kid in the Cul-de-Sac and his obsession with his bike.
  • Lust: Nazz, where she can even get flirty at times, most notably during The Movie.
  • Gluttony: Rolf, because of his occasional animal-based eating habit, best displayed during the Season 5 episodes "Tinker Ed" and "All Eds are Off" (in which they both have tackled such habit of his).
  • Wrath: Sarah, who's apparently the most impatient among them, even in front of her best friend Jimmy.
  • Greed: Jimmy, albeit much more downplayed for that sin's more standard sense (since, even when he was successful in his "Super Duper Scammy Whammy" idea, he's not literally as greedy as Eddy is). Probably the "greediest" thing he ever has, however, metaphorically speaking, is his dependence on someone, not just Sarah, for protection (which is why he's often seen behaving like a wimp).
  • Envy: Jonny, most especially after the movie, where he, alongside Plank, were kicked out of the group after these two abruptly beat up all of the Eds just as the rest of the Kids, minus his best friend, were about to accept the often-rejected trio (to which he was even shown transforming from his old heroic Captain Melonhead persona to his new and villainous one named "The Gourd").
  • Sloth: Plank. While he's your standard inanimate piece of wood who's Jonny's best friend, the "hunk of wood" himself has actually been shown moving on his own, and those still moments of his may indicate that he's probably just using Jonny for the former's own selfish purposes (such as getting back to the Eds, most especially Eddy, at the end of "Gimme, Gimme Never Ed").
• Sympathetic P.O.V.: Occasional episodes such as "See No Ed" and The Movie give more limelight to the kids, developing on what it is like dealing with the Eds' antics on a routine basis and thus why they can't stand them. Most episodes that serve as A Day in the Limelight for one of them tend to also demonstrate the more painful side effects of being scammed or pestered by them non-stop.
• Those Two Guys: Subverted as this is a boy and girl duo. Also, despite having their own personalities, Sarah and Jimmy appear in many scenes together.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: As a result of a particularly disastrous scheme maiming them horribly and finally wearing down their last shred of patience with the Eds, they end up forgoing their own morals to thump them good, as seen when a payback-obssessed Rolf begins acting rude to Wilfred during their Ed hunt. It took seeing Eddy being abused by his brother for them to see the wrongness behind their actions.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Inverted in The Movie, where Eddy admits that his entire jerkass behavior was just a façade he put on in order to emulate his sociopathic brother and no longer be bullied by the latter, prompting the kids to realize the errors in their ways and finally show acceptance to the Eds.
• Town Girls: Nazz is the Femme, The Kankers are Butch, and Sarah is Neither.
• Toxic Friend Influence: Kevin and Sarah are sometimes this to the rest, Depending on the Writer. Jonny, Rolf, and Nazz are usually friendly to the Eds (Eddy included) as long as the latter don’t pester or try to scam them, while Jimmy is usually a timid neutral who is scared of the Eds more so than disdainful, but all four tend to hold the Jerkass Ball more frequently when they are in the company of Kevin and/or Sarah, who will treat the Eds with hostility regardless if they have earned it or not and tend to encourage the others into being bigger bullies than they normally are. More so Kevin, since he’s the de facto leader of the kids and has a lot of sway over them.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Jawbreakers for everyone. They act as a sort of currency and/or prize.
• True Companions: They always have each other's backs. Averted only in one instance the movie, when Jonny becomes an outcast.
• Two Girls to a Team: The cul-de-sac just has Nazz and Sarah.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With each other, at times. When not excluding the Eds, they act antagonistic towards each other.

Sarah's best friend, an effeminate young boy with a set of orthodontic headgear, a habit of frequently getting injured, artistic leanings, and a substantial collection of stuffed animals and dolls. In later seasons he develops something of a barely suppressed mean streak.

---

• Affectionate Nickname:
  • Sarah calls Jimmy "Silly" in a playful way sometimes.
  • Rolf has called him "Boy Jimmy" at least once.
• Ambiguously Bi: Jimmy was Ambiguously Gay to begin with and appears to exhibit gay tendencies towards other guys, especially towards Kevin, but seems to have a crush on Sarah.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Kevin will occasionally taunt Jimmy over his younger age, from him frequently carrying around stuffed animals and playing with dolls, to how accident-prone he tends to be. In spite of all of this, Jimmy still hangs with the other cul-de-sac kids.
• Badass Pacifist: In the episode "If It Smells Like an Ed" when he gets back at the Eds nonviolently after Eddy gives him an atomic wedgie.
• Balcony Wooing Scene: In "Boys Will Be Eds", he's on the receiving end of the Eds' song meant to flatter and woo Nazz in the middle of the night when the trio got the wrong house, listening from the window for most of it before revealing himself. To make matters worse for the Eds, he was so smitten by their performance that he offered to join them, forcing the Eds to awkwardly leave as the episode ends.
• Beware the Nice Ones:
  • In "If It Smells Like An Ed", Eddy pushed Jimmy too far when he gave the latter an atomic wedgie in front of all the kids. For that, Jimmy framed the Eds for multiple crimes, and sold them to the Kankers.
  • In "A Fistful of Ed", Eddy pissed off Jimmy so much that he beat Double D to a bloody pulp.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Shows tendencies of this in later seasons of the show. It's also heavily implied Jimmy uses his meek and girly persona to manipulate Sarah.
  Jimmy: Sarah, that's so devilish... I love it!
• Blatant Lies: He combines telling obvious lies with crying Crocodile Tears.
• Born Unlucky: He rivals Eddy for this trope. He is extremely accident-prone and suffers the most misfortunes out of the whole cast.
• Braces of Orthodontic Overkill: Wears headgear due to the Eds' past scam of selling pastries. He bit into a bowling pin disguised as a cream horn.
• Bratty Half-Pint: Jimmy often veers into this at times, especially in cases when he can be antagonistic along with Sarah.
• Break the Cutie: All the time. If you push his buttons and he doesn't bawl his eyes out, he will get either violent or downright malicious. Heck he flipped and attacked Eddy and Double D before.
• Butt-Monkey: He is EXTREMELY accident-prone. He attracts more slapstick and Amusing Injuries than anyone else (except maybe Eddy), which is really saying something. The early episodes heavily lampshaded this. Virtually every scene he was in, he was sporting anything from bandages to arm casts and a neck brace from unseen injuries.
• Camp Straight: Assuming he has a crush on Sarah. In one episode, he becomes really depressed and jealous when she falls in love with Double D. Although it could just be because she's his best friend. On the other hand, there are scenes that imply that he wants to be big, strong, and famous when he gets older.
• Catchphrase:
  • "Jeepers" is common for him.
  • "Sarah! Owie!"
• Charlie Brown Baldness: He has an odd, poofy hairstyle (described by other characters as resembling a chicken's rear end) which blends seamlessly with his skin color.
• Cheerful Child: Jimmy fits this trope the second-most after Jonny. He's very optimistic and enthusiastic, even if his anxiety occasionally gets the best of him.
• The Chessmaster: A variety of episodes imply that he's far more devious and clever than he looks, but this shines the most in "If It Smells Like An Ed". He orchestrates a revenge plot against the Eds by exploiting their willingness to chase a Snipe Hunt, manipulating the other kids in the Cul-de-Sac, and leaving a bunch of fake clues to throw them off his trail. If he hadn't revealed himself at the end with his Motive Rant, even Double-D wouldn't have been able to figure out it was him.
• The Chew Toy: Due to his Smug Snake and Bitch in Sheep's Clothing tendencies, many fans see him suffering slapstick as a way to balance out his karma houdinis.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: For the times when Jimmy becomes friendly to the Eds, he's quick to turn on them when they (usually Eddy) do something that annoys him or pisses him off. Also Jimmy is the friendliest with Double D but when Double D "annoyed" him, he swiftly condemned him to being Eddy's pack-mule.
• Companion Cube: He talks to his toy rabbit, Mr. Yum Yum.
• Corrupt the Cutie: In "Ed in a Halfshell", Eddy teaches Jimmy everything he knows, and while Jimmy does revert back to normal at the end, he retains the knowledge he gained of trickery and whatnot and uses it against the Eds on several occasions.
• Create Your Own Villain: Eddy is responsible for Jimmy's knowledge of trickery and manipulation, and the latter uses it against all three Eds in "If It Smells Like an Ed" after Eddy reduced him to tears by giving him a wedgie.
• Creepy Child: Whenever he becomes riled up, he becomes just as creepy as he is mischievous. At the end of the comic "Green Eds and Ham", he has a gleeful smile on his face as the Eds are tied to a firework and are about to be sent up into the sky by Kevin.
• Crocodile Tears:
  • Jimmy does this in the infamous "If It Smells Like An Ed" when Eddy catches the former in his garage with a hockey stick and immediately deems him as the perpetrator.
  • He does this in "Ed in a Halfshell" by throwing himself on the floor, throwing dirt on his face, and crying about how the Eds made him eat dirt all day.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass:
  • In "If It Smells Like an Ed" he's revealed to be a cunning planner, bordering on Evil Genius.
  • In "A Fistful Of Ed", he gives a spectacular No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to Edd. And he's supposed to be the scrawniest weakling on the show. Before "reverting" back to normal.
  • In "Ed in a Halfshell", when Eddy steals his money he attacks Eddy and quickly pretends to be a meek weakling again when witnesses arrive.
• Cruelty by Feet: Jimmy is on the receiving end of this twice by Lee Kanker. The first time was in Once Upon an Ed in Ed's story when a giant version of Lee stomps on him. In the Big Picture Show Lee stood on a pipe that was on the back of his neck, almost causing him to pass out.
• Cute, but Cacophonic: He's sweet and innocent, but sports an incredibly girly, whiny voice.
• The Cutie: More so in the beginning. Over time he becomes less innocent and more sneaky and devious. Though he's still very delicate, childish and prone to crying.
• Deliberately Cute Child: Sometimes he uses his endearing nature to get his way.
• Dirty Coward: When Sarah is nowhere to protect him after he starts trouble, Jimmy would run away with his tail between his legs. The rare occasions Sarah is at the mercy of someone for once, Jimmy also shows far less willingness to return the favour.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Both what he does (post-flanderization) and what happens to him. Jimmy takes an AWFUL lot of abuse and even though he sometimes deserves it, he doesn't deserve that many critical injuries. Also, on the rare moments Jimmy finally loses his composure, he goes absolutely insane on who has wronged him attacking them in a berserk manner. The rest of the kids have said he's "lost it" quite a few times.
• Effeminate Voice: Jimmy is a quiet boy who likes baking, playing with dolls, and hanging out with his best friend (and crush) Sarah. He has the softest and most high-pitched voice out of the males.
• Establishing Character Moment: In the first episode, Jimmy is introduced with a bandage on himself. This will follow later in the series.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • In "See No Ed", the Cul-de-sac kids think the Eds have disappeared permanently and Jimmy admits even though he wished for it every birthday, he feels guilty about it.
  • Even he couldn't stand Sarah at the beginning of "Wish You Were Ed".
  • Although he despises The Eds (usually Eddy), in the movie he is frightened and appalled at the sadistic beating that Eddy received from his brother, who is even worse to point that Jimmy yells for somebody to help Eddy.
    Jimmy: "SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!"
• Extreme Doormat: One of Jimmy's most defining characteristics is that he is too weak-willed to defend himself in Sarah's absence and constantly relies on the latter to support him. This becomes more-or-less downplayed when he Took a Level in Badass.
• Flanderization: In earlier seasons, he was Camp Straight with a deeper voice and his crush on Sarah was far more obvious. In later seasons, his Camp Straight tendencies are flanderized and he gets a high-pitched voice. Also in earlier seasons, Jimmy was indeed a wimp but a nice kid and transformed into the Smug Snake seen in later seasons until the movie and "A Fistful of Ed."
• Foil:
  • He's one to Eddy in that Jimmy is a sweet and endearing Cheerful Child with a fragile mentality and idealistic outlook, while the former is a brutally honest and cynical bully who dismisses child's play as old news.
  • He's also one to Sarah. While both of them enjoy engaging in effeminate hobbies, Jimmy is gentle and delicate while Sarah is vindictive and aggressive.
• Friendly Enemy: He has worked with the Eds (or one of them) several times, even if he doesn't like them and Eddy is usually trying to take advantage of him. This never lasts long.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Downplayed. Jimmy started off as a meek, sensitive Nervous Wreck in earlier seasons. In later seasons of the show, he became more of clever Bitch in Sheep's Clothing with a few Jerkass Ball episodes.
• Game Face: In the climax of A Fistful Of Ed after getting one too many hot dogs thrown in his face, Jimmy ends up getting so enraged to where he ends up looking almost like a demon (complete with Flaming Hair and sharp teeth) as he wails on Double D. He ends up getting visibly shocked afterwards, however.
• Goofy Print Underwear: With teddy bears on them.
• He Who Fights Monsters: Of the other kids, he is probably the one with the most legitimate bone to pick with the Eds, with several Break the Cutie moments from Eddy's bullying, corrupting him to be a scam artist, and just being the most common and brutal collateral damage to the trio's scams (including one incident that actually necessitated his trademark headgear). As such, Jimmy became increasingly bitter, scheming and vindictive towards the Eds as the series continues, even punishing all three mercilessly for what one Ed would do. In "See No Ed" he admits with some remorse that every birthday wish he made was to be rid of the Eds forever.
• Hypocritical Humor: In the episode "Tag Yer Ed", Jimmy can be seen laughing along the kids at Edd for being a weakling. This is the same character who regularly gets injured and got incapacitated when a clothes-peg touched his foot. He also mocked Eddy for being short while he himself is no taller.
• I Just Want to Be Badass: It's implied many times that Jimmy longs to appear tough rather than appearing as a weakling who's an easy target for bullying. It's confirmed in the episode "Hand Me Down Ed," when he lampshades this trope after Kevin mocks him for crying over the damage of his toy. Jimmy gets his wish when he briefly holds the boomerang.
• I Just Want to Be Special: In more episodes he mentions his dream of becoming famous. Eddy has exploited this quite a few times and it was revealed he'll do ANYTHING to achieve this goal.
• In-Series Nickname:
  • "Fluffy" from Kevin.
  • "Dutch" from the Kanker sisters.
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: He enjoys dolls and tea parties. He bakes souffles, has taught a tai chi class, shares an interest in fashion with Sarah and Nazz, and chose a day with Sarah and Nazz over go-karting.
• Jerkass Ball: Jimmy definitely holds this occasionally in later seasons when he becomes a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.
• Jerkass to One: Jimmy is usually a nice guy, but he seems to hate only the Eds (namely Eddy).
• Jerkass Has a Point: Jimmy became more prone to holding the Jerkass Ball and becoming a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing in later seasons, especially with his actions towards the Eds. He does, however, have good reasons for his contempt towards the Eds. The Eds constantly get him injured with his shenanigans and their scams. Ed alone even gets him injured on a few occasions, and Eddy constantly bullies him. It was even proven that the Eds were the reason why Jimmy goes through orthodontic treatment (they sold him a bowling pin masked as a treat).
• Keet: Jimmy is not really hyperactive or loud but he's still a cute little boy who is In Touch with His Feminine Side.
• Laser-Guided Karma: There are times when Jimmy does deserve his Butt-Monkey status in episodes when he's being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.
• Like Brother and Sister: He and Sarah are as close as siblings.
• Lovable Coward: He's wimpy, easily scared and he pretty much always needs Sarah to protect him.
• Made of Plasticine: Not only is he the scrawniest weakling in the show (even more so than Edd), but getting his foot TOUCHED by a CLOTHES-PEG incapacitates him somehow, and in "Look Before You Ed" he's apparently so weak that he can't even move snow or make a snow angel without getting hurt. Then again, he's probably the biggest slapstick magnet on the show - he gets crushed by a tree in one episode, and he's usually fine by the end of the episode.
• Manipulative Bastard: In "If It Smells Like an Ed". Sometimes he manipulates Sarah into beating up the Eds for him, like in, "Ed in a Halfshell" when he lies and tells Sarah the Eds forced him to eat dirt.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy to Sarah's Masculine Girl. Sarah is aggressive, strong, and violent while Jimmy is weak, sensitive and delicate. Played With, considering both him and Sarah have plenty of feminine interests they share.
• Minor Injury Overreaction: He "broke" his foot after a clothes peg lightly tapped it. What more has to be said?
• Morality Pet: For Sarah. Sarah actually acts like a normal little girl instead of a miniature cougar when she's around Jimmy.
• Mr. Imagination: Jimmy constantly fantasizes over fairytale and engages in make-believe games with Sarah.
• My God, What Have I Done?: In "See No Ed", Jimmy admits that every birthday he makes a wish for the Eds "to be gone". When it appears his wish has come true, he immediately starts feeling guilty.
• Nervous Wreck: When he's about to be in situations that will guarantee him injuries, he appears as this.
• Nice Guy: When he's not being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, he's generally innocent, sensitive and kindhearted. He can even be friendly towards the Eds sometimes, despite his contempt for them (this is, however, geared towards Eddy mostly).
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: After Eddy steals his money in "Ed in a Halfshell" he attacks him and at the near end of "A Fistful of Ed," he beats Edd to a bloody pulp after Eddy constantly taunted him by throwing hot dogs at him.
• Noodle Incident: When he tries to pick up a quarter stuck to the ground using an eyelash curler. And then gets driven away in an ambulance.
  Kevin: Looks like eyelashes aren't the only thing that thing curls!
• One of the Girls: 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.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Pain In The Ed," Jimmy wears obvious disguises while following the Eds around to ensure he witnesses the Eds breaking the violin, so he can snitch on them to Sarah. Eddy and Edd were able to see through his random disguises.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: He wears a blue shirt while Sarah wears a pink shirt.
• Platonic Life-Partners: He's really close with Sarah, but no more than in a best friends/sibling-like kind of way.
• Prone to Tears: He's prone to crying a lot. Rolf even refers to him as "The confused and delicate one".
• A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: While Eddy was his "Evil Mentor", most of Jimmy's Flanderization happened AFTER he was taught by Eddy. This implies that his newfound smugness, bitchy, and manipulative habits he uses against Eddy are partially Eddy's fault.
• Rage Breaking Point: After taking so much crap from the Eds, the Eds (well, Eddy) finally push him over the edge by ruining friendship day in "If It Smells Like An Ed". In "A Fistfull of Ed", Eddy and accidently Edd causes him to go full Rage mode.
• Real Men Wear Pink: Inverted. Despite being a girly boy, Jimmy has shown a lot of desire to grow up being big and strong. This is shown well in "Hand Me Down Ed," when Jimmy becomes (temporarily) strong and slams a mailbox on Kevin.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's more sensitive and easygoing than the aggressive and ill-tempered Sarah.
• Seers: Potentially, if the dream he had in 'The Eds Are Coming' did come true...
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man:
  • An implied relationship between Jimmy and his father. In "If It Smells Like An Ed," Jimmy cries about how he hates hockey and how his father makes him practice. Combine this with Jock Dad, Nerd Son, due to Jimmy's father making him practice hockey and how girly Jimmy acts.
  • He sometimes serves as the Sensitive Guy to Ed's Manly Man. They are the characters who interact with Sarah the most and Ed is a big, strong guy who likes monsters while Jimmy is delicate, Prone to Tears, and likes dolls. The contrast is especially seen in "Is There an Ed in the House?" when they take care of an ill Sarah and both try to read a book to her: Ed's story is about a "two-headed mutant spewing slime from its tentacles" and Jimmy's story starts with "Silly little Jilly frolicked in the daisies..."
  • He's the Sensitive Guy to all of the boys' Manly Men, including Double D. He's easily the most fragile and emotional out of them, and his hobbies are quite feminine. In "Tight End Ed," he does cheerleading while the boys do football.
• Sickly Child Grew Up Strong: There are many implications that Jimmy wants to grow up to become big and strong, contrary to his timidness.
• Sickly Neurotic Geek: It takes very little at all to knock him down sobbing.
• Smug Snake:
  • When he's coming up with schemes, it overinflates his ego.
  • In some cases he is quite snide and exploitative of Sarah's protectiveness of him, knowing he can gloat and push around others while in her sight. On the rare occasions when Sarah is overtaken, Jimmy will pull a hasty retreat.
• The Stool Pigeon: In one episode when he snitches to Sarah about Double D accidentally breaking Ed's violin. He lampshades it in the movie by screaming "Oh I'm such a snitch!" when he's forced to confess about everything he knows about the Noodle Incident between the Eds and The Kids' and their whereabouts and goals.
• Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Smart Guy to Sarah's Strong Girl. Sarah often uses her strength to protect Jimmy. While Sarah also can be manipulative, Jimmy proves to be an extremely cunning mastermind, especially in "If It Smells Like An Ed".
• Supreme Chef: One of Jimmy's interests is cooking and baking, and he was able to cook a lot of delicious looking Christmas food and pastries in the Christmas special. Even Eddy is impressed, as he ate Jimmy's gingerbread village in a few seconds and even complimented the latter on his baked cookies.
• Sweet Tooth: Will generally always gush about how whatever candy he's currently eating is "scrumptious", and seems to have a limitless supply of jujubes. He carries a candy apple around with him during the movie as his "mid-noon snack".
• Tagalong Kid: Technically speaking, the rest of the cul-de-sac are kids themselves. Mentally speaking, however, Jimmy is the youngest of the group, and more often than not comes off as an inconvenience to them with his idealism and femininity.
• Temporarily a Villain: In "If It Smells Like An Ed when he ends up being the mastermind in a scheme involving framing all 3 Eds for different misdeeds.
• Tender Tears: Unsurprisingly, he cries more often and much more than any other character on the show.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: Despite being often the butt of the jokes, he actually comes out on top in most Jimmy-centric episodes. The exception is "One Size Fits Ed" and only because he was still working with the Eds by the end of the episode. When he starts working against the Eds, he always gets the last laugh on them.
• Tiny Schoolboy: Shares this role with Eddy in being the shortest member of the male cast.
• Token Mini-Moe: Out of the entire cul-de-sac, Jimmy is inarguably the cutest of them all.
• Took a Level in Badass: After receiving training from Eddy, Jimmy becomes one of the Eds' most competent adversaries in scamming. He also goes into VERY violent rages twice in the series showing he can man up when he wants.
• Undying Loyalty: He has this with Sarah. He'll do anything he can to help her.
• Unwillingly Girly Tomboy: Gender inverted. It's implied that Jimmy's father dislikes Jimmy having girly interests. Jimmy's dad may force him to practice playing hockey as shown in "If It Smells Like An Ed" when Jimmy has many hockey equipment in his garage.
• Upper-Class Twit: Whenever the Eds run into him while he's playing pretend with Sarah, or if he's trusted with full leadership control for a scam, he tends to lean into being as intentionally snobby and condescending as possible, and in the formers case with his most expensive clothes on.
• Vocal Dissonance: Has an incredibly girly voice that contrasts the more pubescent-sounding ones of his male peers. Somewhat justified in that he's In Touch with His Feminine Side and may be a late bloomer.
• Vocal Evolution: His voice starts off soft and feminine, then gradually evolves into a straight up Mickey Mouse-esque falsetto, likely due to Keenan Christensen hitting puberty and then becoming an adult.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Even a light tap can cause a severe injury to Jimmy. His foot gets broken by a clothespin.
• Wide-Eyed Idealist: Jimmy dismisses reality in favor of fairy tale "logic".
• Wimp Fight: "A Fistful of Ed" has him set a fight up between himself and Double D to try and rig it in Jimmys favor to prove that Double D isn't a vicious bully on a rampage, with the intention being that Double D will go out nice, cleanly and painlessly. Unfortunately for everyone watching, getting the two frailest, wimpiest characters to fight means that it's going to look incredibly lame. At least until Eddy manages to taunt and abuse him so hard that when Double D gets an accidentally real hit in, Jimmy becomes so blindly enraged that he attacks the closest thing (Double D) and pounds him into a pulp. For what it's worth, he seemed regretful about it after calming down.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: His role in "If It Smells Like an Ed". He becomes the villain of the episode (with his Disproportionate Retribution revenge on the Eds) after being badly humiliated and bullied at the beginning.
• Would Hit a Girl: In one episode, he attacks Nazz after he suspects her of stealing his shampoo.

Jonny 2x4

Voiced by: (English) David Paul Grove
Voiced by: (Latin America) Ana María Grey (Season 1), Alondra Hidalgo (Season 4), María Fernanda Morales (Current voice)
Voiced by: (Swedish) Johan Wikström

An eccentric, nature-loving youngster who hangs out with Plank, a piece of wood with a face drawn on it that seems to have a mind of its own. He's the most tolerant of the Eds, but even he can be pushed too far by them.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: He has been this to both Nazz and Sarah.
  • He has a crush on Nazz, but when he asks her if she wants to hold hands in "Too Smart for His Own Ed", she declines with a "Ugh! In your dreams!"
  • In "May I Have This Ed", he asks Sarah out to the dance and Sarah shouts in his face that she would rather date a frog.
  • In the comic "Sugar, Spice and Ed", he becomes attracted to Edd, who's Disguised in Drag, and offers to show "her" his splinter collection. Edd protests that he's "not that kind of girl".
• All of the Other Reindeer: Zig-zagged—to go into greater detail:
  • Jonny's usually more liked and accepted by the other kids than the Eds are and is involved in many of their activities, but he's still considered to be the weird one of the bunch.
  • This trope is played straight in episodes like "Shoo Ed" (the one about Jonny being a pest) and "'Tween a Rock and an Ed Place" (where no one except for the Eds comes to a party he was having).
  • However, at the end of the Grand Finale, Jonny becomes a full-on outcast while the Eds are finally accepted by the other kids.
• Ambiguously Brown: He's probably black, but his skin tone changes from time to time. Jonny in the picture here is not usually that white, he's normally slightly darker than Rolf or the same color as Rolf (but certainly brown). In the episode "Don't Rain on My Ed" we can see Jonny with a full head of hair as a one-off gag, and he clearly has a large afro.
• Audience? What Audience?: At the end of the movie. Which is weird, considering his Companion Cube Plank has Medium Awareness.
• Berserk Button: Harming/taking/coming between him and Plank (or his 'family') is one of the few things that can turn him from happy go lucky to incredibly bitter/angry, if not outright violent. When the Kanker sisters stole Plank from him, he spent the whole episode being incredibly serious and stalking the Kankers in the background, before being the first, if only, Cul-de-Sac kid to directly fight the Kankers to get Plank back; and wins. In a later episode when he was bet to go without Plank for longer than the other kids could go without their quirks, he slams Eddy into a wall when he tries to 'convince' Plank to be his best friend instead. When Eddy accidentally snapped Planks parents in half, Jonny made a/hired a Plank mafia to go after them, which had the Eds legitimately terrified at the end of the episode.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Jonny's one of the most peaceful kids in Peach Creek, but he is scary when pushed. Notably, he's one of the few Cul-de-Sac kids to fight the Kankers and win.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Jonny is quite off his rocker and can do some amazing things once in a while.
• Big Bad Wannabe: In The Stinger of Big Picture Show, Jonny undergoes a Face–Heel Turn, becoming the Gourd to take revenge on the Cul-de-Sac... only for Plank to inform him that the movie was over, so he never gets a chance to enact his newfound villainy.
• Blade Brake: Jonny actually does this with Plank.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • "What's that, Plank?"
  • "Plank says x!"
• Characterization Marches On: He treated Plank like a friend to chat with in season one, but season two onwards has him treat Plank like his mentor.
• Charlie Brown Baldness: He apparently has hair and just looks bald, as one episode had it styled into an afro.
• Cheerful Child: The most cheerful character on the show, along with Ed.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Once, he hid his ABC gum under a quarter so no one would take it. And it worked. Also, he talks to a piece of wood...
• Companion Cube: Plank is constantly seen with Jonny.
• Constantly Curious: He's often curious. He always wants to know what's going on and will often appear at the most random times.
• Consulting Mr Puppet: Every idea/snark he comes up with are really Plank's. Doing this is what he bets off in "All Eds Are Off".
• Creepy Child: He has his moments. The fact that his only friend is a block of wood certainly doesn't help.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He has a superhero alter ego, Captain Melonhead.
• Cute, but Cacophonic: Jonny may be a kind and gentle guy, but has a high and gravelly voice that annoys the other kids, courtesy of David Grove.
• Depending on the Writer:
  • In general, Jonny seems to dislike the Eds the least, even sometimes viewing them as friends. In "Little Ed Blue" he notes that the Eds liven things up when they're around. Other times though he's one of the more vocal people against their scams such as in "Urban Ed" or "Once Bitten, Twice Ed".
  • His relationship with the other kids. Sometimes he's hanging out with the rest of them with no problems, other times he's almost as unpopular as the Eds.
  • How much of a Cloudcuckoolander he is varies according to the episode. He is of average intellect as an urban ranger, but more often than not displays Ed levels of stupidity.
  • And then there are episodes that set aside his good nature and portray him in an antagonistic and even malicious role, such as "X Marks the Ed" or "Your Ed Here". Overall, the only thing that remains consistent about Jonny's character for the whole run of the show is his obsession with Plank.
• Diabolus ex Machina: He becomes one in "Wish You Were Ed" by trespassing on the Eds' Old Country scam and refusing to leave, which exposes it to Rolf.
• The Ditherer: If Plank isn't there to make a decision for him, best seen in "All Eds Are Off."
• Easily Impressed: Being the Cloudcuckoolander and Mr. Imagination that he his, capturing his imagination and getting him elated is a piece of cake. The Eds regularly exploit this about him, although more often than not their plans have Gone Horribly Right.
• Face–Heel Turn: At the end of The Movie, after getting beaten up by the other kids for attacking the Eds, Jonny and Plank declare war on the cul-de-sac by becoming the sinister Gourd and Timber the Dark Shard. The movie was over, though.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: While not shunned like the Eds, it's been shown that the kids on the cul-de-sac aren't too fond of him. In one episode, the Eds make a whole scam out of getting him to annoy the other kids. In another, he hosted a party where only the Eds showed up. In the finale, he soon becomes the outcast to the other kids when he beats up The Eds, after the other kids learned how terrible Eddy’s brother was to him.
• Friend to All Living Things: Shown to have a soft spot for animals, like Ed does. He ruined one of Eddy's scams because it involved the idea of harming a raccoon, and when stealing one of Rolf's chickens (it's implied he's done this a lot), he exclaims "We rescued another one!"
• Genius Ditz: He doesn't seem to be very intelligent, but in "Mission Ed-Possible" he gets a better report card than all the other boys besides Edd (we don't know about Jimmy because he's younger).
• Hero Antagonist: He's this in Robbin Ed as Captain Melonhead, with Eddy/Professor Scam being the Villain Protagonist.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Plank.
• Horrifying the Horror: Played for Laughs when it comes to the Kankers, who are universally feared by everyone and who like to scare everyone to have their way, but when it comes to Jonny the Kankers are apparently revolted by him, and probably not too fond of the time he single handily beat them up in their own home when they stole Plank. It's to the point where they don't want to touch him and treat him like a freaky animal when his sleeping body pins Lee down, and Marie wipes her hands after handling him.
  (Lee): Get this thing off me!
  (May): Look at the size of its head!
  (Lee, huddle with her sisters examining Jonny on the floor with genuine nervousness) ...Is it real?
• Hypocritical Humor: This boy who talks to a slab of wood is always the first to call the other kids crazy.
• Innocently Insensitive: While he’s one of the nicer kids in the neighborhood, he ends up hurling some of the more vicious and meanest insults to the Eds on Plank's behalf, all in the same goofy voice and jolly smile.
• Jerkass Ball: In "X Marks the Ed", where he makes fun of Eddy's zit and charges the other kids admission to point and laugh. He gets away with it. He sometimes joins the kids when they make fun of the Eds. There's also possibly this whenever he "translates" for Plank, who more often than not insults other kids.
• Keet: Jonny is a cheerful, wacky, hyperactive kid.
• Kindhearted Simpleton: He's a foolish and gullible Cloudcuckoolander, as well as good-natured and innocent.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Because he arrives late at the end of the Movie, he never does find out about Eddy's Brother and attacks the Eds. Sarah, Kevin and the other kids then attack Jonny, demanding he "leave their friends alone!"
• Loners Are Freaks: Played with. He's not really an outcast, but a weird kid who spends all his time talking to a piece of wood definitely has shades of this. After the events of the movie, he becomes this in full as his being late to the scene made him miss seeing Eddy's abusive older brother leading to him being the only Cul-de-sac kid to not have a Heel Realization. As a result he gets pummeled by the other kids when he assaults the Eds and winds up completely outcast by the other kids. However, he doesn't get a chance to follow up on this because by the time this is made clear to the audience there's mere seconds left in the series.
• Mr. Imagination: His defining trait. He has Plank as best friend, after all.
• Naked People Are Funny: When the cul-de-sac falls into total anarchy in "Stop, Look, and Ed", Jonny decides to streak.
• Nature Lover: He loves natural surroundings. The fact that his best friend is a piece of wood is likely a factor in this.
• Nice Guy: He's generally the kid who's most willing to consider the Eds friends. Granted Plank seems able to make him do more immoral acts at times.
• Nightmare Fetishist: He's usually quite cheerful when spooky or weird things come in play. A notable example is in "Once Upon an Ed", where after being bored by Eddy's and Edd's stories, he specifically asked for a Mind Screw story, a request that Ed complied to. After this, Johnny fell asleep. However, it's a Downplayed Trope, considering that even he gets seriously scared or fed up with pain sometimes.
• No Social Skills: Implied to be the reason why he talks with objects such as Plank, since in some episodes he's portrayed as an annoyance. It's because of this that half the time the other kids don't really like to hang out with him for too long by themselves.
• Older Than They Look: He looks a bit younger than the Eds, Kevin, Rolf and Nazz, but he still goes to their school.
• Post-Final Boss: Since he was absent for Eddy's epiphany, he's technically the last antagonist of Big Picture Show, but the climax has already concluded, the rest of the kids have forgiven the Eds, and they beat the crap out of him for attacking them. Amusingly, The Stinger sets him up as the new Big Bad, but Plank reminds him that the movie's already over.
• Prematurely Bald: Most of the male characters suffer from Charlie Brown Baldness, but Jonny is stated in-universe to be bald, despite a multitude of tiny black hairs.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Whenever Plank's in trouble or kidnapped, Jonny absolutely does not goof around in getting him back, sneaking, sprinting and fighting his way through pretty much anything just to rescue his best friend. Not even the Kankers were safe from him when they stole Plank.
• Sanity Slippage: By the end of The Movie, he's clearly off his gourd after getting attacked by his previous friends for seemingly no reason whatsoever to his point of view, and the Eds becoming the neighborhood's favorite bunch even though prior they went off the deep end this time with their most recent scam.
• Sixth Ranger: Sometimes he serves as a fourth ranger to the Eds even when there are no scams involved, like in "Cool Hand Ed".
• Straight Man and Wise Guy: Seemingly, the Wise Guy to Plank's Straight Man.
• Super Gullible: Even when it comes to Blatant Lies. In one episode Eddy tells him that Kevin is being "attacked by a rabid rake", and Jonny is quick to believe it ("Plank! Kevin's in trouble!"). Even if Kevin was in front of them and was just raking leaves peacefully in his yard. In the comic "Where No Ed has Gone Before" the Kankers successfully bribe him with a nut bar to lure the Eds into their trap.
• The Thing That Would Not Leave: Jonny has moments when he can be a pest towards the other kids and won't leave them alone, despite the kids obviously getting annoyed by his antics. Even the Eds get annoyed by him sometimes. For example, in "Here's Mud In Your Ed, he is this to Sarah and Jimmy. He stole their shovel despite Sarah's protests, and it took Sarah beating the crap out of him to get him to leave her and Jimmy alone. Eddy actually uses this for one of his scams, making Jonny even more annoying and unleashing him on the other kids, then they pay The Eds to get rid of him for them.
• Those Two Guys: He's frequently seen with his Companion Cube Plank.
• Token Minority: Based on skin-tone, Jonny is one of the only two characters in the show that could be regarded as 'dark-skinned'. Culturally, Rolf is a better qualifier as the show's 'quirky immigrant'.
• The Troublemaker: Jonny 2X4 is a troublemaker of the unwitting variety, his eccentric antics often driving the other kids crazy. One episode has Eddy encourage Jonny to annoy others so he can charge them to get rid of Jonny.
• Voice for the Voiceless: He talks for Plank.
• Would Hit a Girl: He takes on the Kankers to retrieve Plank back from them, and wins. Inverted in the episode "Little Ed Blue" when Sarah punches him in the face and he doesn't fight back.

Kevin

Dorks!!!

Voiced by: (English) Kathleen Barr
Voiced by: (Latin America) Irwin Daayán
Voiced by: (Swedish) Gizela Rasch

An athletic kid who is usually seen riding on or working on his bike, playing sports, or trying to impress Nazz. He thinks the Eds are a bunch of "dorks", and isn't afraid to make his opinion of them known at least once an episode. Other than that, he seems to be the most realistic kid in the neighborhood when compared to everyone else.

---

• The Ace: Kevin is the cool, athletic and popular jock. Eddy hates him for it.
• Affectionate Nickname: Nazz occasionally calls him "Kev", often with a positive tone.
• Afraid of Needles: In "This Won't Hurt an Ed"—it's possible that he got over it after seeing Eddy receive a Booster Shot from their school nurse.
• All Men Are Perverts: As seen in "If It Smells Like An Ed" when Eddy uses a photo of a bikini-wearing Nazz to distract Kevin and he drools over it. Also in "See No Ed", when Nazz's pants fall off, he lustfully says "awesome." And in "Urban Ed" you can see him reading a magazine called "Bikini Babes".
• Always a Bigger Fish:
  • Though he's seen as the cul-de-sac "tough guy" he's just as scared of the Kanker Sisters as the other kids.
  • He's also terrified of Eddy's brother, and completely goes to pieces at the idea of facing him. Which makes it all the better when Kevin eventually nuts up and demands that he stop beating Eddy.
• Animal Motifs: Eddy enjoys comparing Kevin to a chimpanzee.
• Arch-Enemy: Eddy's most prominent main nemesis until The Movie, as it's made clear numerous times that they despise one another.
• Asskicking Leads to Leadership: A de facto example, mainly for the entire neighborhood kids. Kevin is capable of fighting against others physically, much more so if he's seriously pissed off, although he can also get cowardly at times despite that.
• Asshole Victim: It's hard to feel sorry for him in "This Won't Hurt an Ed" when Eddy and Ed exploit his fear of needles, given all the stuff he's done to the Eds ("Your Ed Here" comes to mind.)
• Badass Pacifist: In "Ed Ed And Away", possibly the only time he got back at the Eds for a scam nonviolently.
• Berserk Button: Don't touch or speak ill of his bike (unless you're Nazz) and don't tease him about his crush on Nazz.
• Big Man on Campus: Definitely, though considering the size of the cast, he doesn't have much competition.
• Broken Ace: He apparently had a troubled past about Eddy's brother (rumors about Eddy's brother are enough to scare him). And he's terrified of needles.
• Brutal Honesty: Kevin is very cynical and dismissive of kid's stuff and sugar coating. He even openly bullies Eddy, who's more assholish and physically aggressive, and presses the "dork" label upon him.
• The Bully: Mostly to the Eds (especially Eddy), as he often insults them for no reason. To a lesser extent, he can also be pretty mean to Jonny or Jimmy, like in "Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed" where even Nazz calls him out on it. Even Rolf gets picked on by him on occasion.
• Bullying a Dragon: In "Little Ed Blue," he constantly pesters Ed (with Eddy, no less) by throwing a baseball at his head. Ed eventually gets fed up and molds Eddy into a shape of a baseball bat and whacks Kevin with him.
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: One episode had this happening when Kevin accidentally foils Eddy's scheme of the day.
• Butt-Monkey: Kevin is more of a downplayed example of this trope. Just like Jimmy and Jonny, Kevin gets injured a few times because of the Eds scams.
• Catchphrase Insult: "Dorks!" He even uses various permutations of the word "dork" at times as well.
• Cannot Talk to Women: For all his bravado, Kevin still gets reduced to a Nervous Wreck when trying to ask Nazz to dance with him in “May I Have This Ed?”, and bails when Nazz herself asks him to dance with her.
• Characterization Marches On: His hatred for the Eds was toned down in season 1 considering that he would only antagonize/beat them up when they pissed him off. He even tried to offer them free jawbreakers in one episode only for Eddy to tell him off. In future seasons he antagonizes the Eds more often and humiliates them without provocation even when they don't try to scam him or the other kids.
• Charlie Brown Baldness: He only has a few strands of hair on his head. Although a flashback episode shows he actually used to have normal hair.
• Chick Magnet: Not to the extent of Double D. Nazz likes him and, despite the fact that they don't show much interest in him, the Kankers still consider him attractive enough to the point of wanting to kiss him when he was at their mercy (though this may have just been their way of bullying/torturing him).
• Companion Cube: His bike. In The Movie he ignores Nazz in favor of it.
• Deadpan Snarker: He's always making snide remarks about the Eds.
• Depending on the Writer: Oh boy, in some episodes Kevin is a defensive but understandable character who you can relate to at times (who wouldn't get mad at some kids destroying your house?) Other times, not so much...
• Dirty Coward: At least for one episode. In "See No Ed", while everyone gets trapped by the Eds' scam, a paranoia-induced Kevin leaves to save himself.
• Dumb Jock: Downplayed. As shown in "Mission Ed Possible", although he gets average grades (four Cs, two Bs and one D on his report card), it's still much better than Eddy's grades.
• Enemy Mine: A somewhat weird example, but he and Eddy sometimes get along better when picking on someone else. Kevin allowed Eddy to join him in pitching baseballs off Ed's head when the latter was in a bad mood. At the beginning of "Boys Will Be Eds" they are seen laughing together at Jimmy's misfortune (along with Edd). He also laughs when Eddy makes a joke about Sarah's underwear showing in "One of Those Eds".
  Eddy: Hey Sarah! I can see your undies!
  [Eddy and Kevin laugh]
  Kevin: Nice one!
• Enraged by Idiocy: Probably the quickest to point out the other characters' naivety. In "Tinker Ed", when Jimmy is joyfully running around the library like a princess, Kevin snaps at him and rightfully tells him to stop treating fairytales like a reality.
• Establishing Character Moment: Kevin is introduced in the series by calling the Eds "dorks" in the first episode.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He seems pretty excited to show his father his grades in "Mission Ed-Possible", and never mentions having any problems with him.
• Everyone Has Standards: Kevin may be an abusive jerk, but even he thinks Eddy's Brother went too far when he physically assaults Eddy for no good reason than because he could. Kevin at least usually just tries to retaliate against Eddy's scams.
• Fatal Flaw: Pride, most notably in front of the Eds, which tend to lead to his more karmic moments, such as when he got captured by the Kankers.
• Fiery Redhead: Kevin is characteristically feisty and has somewhat of a Hair-Trigger Temper, (though comparatively speaking, he's much more patient than both Sarah and Lee Kanker).
• Flanderization: Early on, while he was still antagonistic towards the Eds, at worst he'd only really taunt them and only get violent when they provoked him, and usually it was only ever aimed at Eddy. By the later episodes, he would often become a flat-out bully to the Eds, often tormenting them with little to no provocation.
• For the Evulz: His actions mainly in "Your Ed Here" and "Smile For the Ed". Other episodes he does this too, it's just occasionally and Out of Focus.
• Freudian Excuse:
  • It's implied his spiteful attitude towards Eddy has something to do with the latter's brother. He's terrified of the mere mentioning of him.
  • It's also implied Kevin wasn't always antagonistic to the Eds. In "A Boy and his Ed", he comments he would've given each of the Eds a free jawbreaker had they not tried to scam him. Later in the episode, the Eds try to scam him again into being their friend and end up destroying his entire house. By the end, the Eds try to steal his garage of jawbreakers and end up interrupting him while he was bathing. Start of Darkness, maybe?
  • In "See No Ed" Kevin becomes outright unhinged waiting for the suspiciously absent Eds to reveal another scheme. He's been worn down by them for so long that he is convinced they are always out to scam him.
• Friendly Enemy: With Double D on a few occasions. It seems like the only reason Kevin has a problem with him is because of his friendship with Eddy. In "The Luck of the Ed" he has a friendly chat with Edd in the middle of the episode.
• Good is Not Nice: Even when Kevin isn't the bad guy of the episode, he still comes off as a jerk due to his arrogant and sarcastic attitude. Next to Sarah, he's easily the most aggressive of the kids.
• Green and Mean: Normally wears a green sweater and is your typical Jerk Jock.
• Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: In the past, he used to have a full head of hair, but in the show itself he just has three strands of hair under his hat.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Not as much as Sarah and Eddy, but he mostly wants to solve his problems with other characters by beating them up.
• Hammerspace: Tends to pull his bike out of nowhere.
• He Who Fights Monsters: As shown in "See No Ed", due to their excessive hounding for most of his life, he is rather paranoid of the Eds and their scams, even when they aren't bothering him. Possible Freudian Excuse for his less provoked treatment towards them.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Despite being a Jerk Jock by default, he's not completely a bad guy. From time to time, he can display some level of civility towards others, such as treating Nazz with much respect, being best friends with Rolf, and standing up to Eddy's older brother instead of being cowardly.
• Hypno Fool: In "Look Into My Eds," Eddy hypnotizes him into thinking he's a monkey for the entire episode. What's especially humorous is he apparently knows Eddy so well that the latter only had to say he'll be what Eddy "always wanted [him] to be" for him to get the message.
• Hypocrite: He loves to insult the Eds by calling them dorks, but in "An Ed Is Born" when Eddy calls him "the neighborhood dork", he doesn't take it very well.
• Humiliation Conga: "A Case of Ed" has Kevin grounded for the day and locked in his house by his parents, making Ed and Eddy milk the situation for all it's worth by TP'ing his house, ringing his door bell a bunch of times, taunting him outside his window, using a fishing rod to yank his clothes from the mail slot when he isn't looking, Eddy taking his pants off to moon him, and presumably many other things that culminate in them trapping him in complete darkness by bricking his entire house shut. Lucky for Kevin, he gets let out early for good behavior so he can get some payback.
• Idiot Ball: In "Scrambled Ed", a semi-conscious Double D tells him: "Apply toothpaste for cleaner brighter teeth." He believes this is the solution for his bike chain being out of place. He later shows up demanding that Double D buy him a new chain. Kevin's lapse in judgment is a little more understandable if you recall that Double D can build advanced machinery out of cardboard boxes, garbage cans, and other random pieces of junk.
• Innocently Insensitive: In the movie, he seemed genuinely bewildered about why Nazz trashed his bike when he repeatedly showed more concern over it than her.
• Inspector Javert: Even when the Eds' schemes technically aren't frauds, he tries to stop them anyway. It helps that Eddy always call them "scams" anyway.
• Jerkass Has a Point:
  • Kevin can be obnoxious but his hatred towards the Eds is generally quite understandable, considering the chaos caused by their scams in every episode.
  • In "Tinker Ed," he tells Sarah and Jimmy to be quiet in the library. He also tells Jimmy to grow up and that fairy tales weren't real. Given Sarah and Jimmy's obnoxious behavior (Sarah seems to raise her voice just to annoy Kevin), he has a point.
  • As much as a jerkass as Kevin was in "Ed In A Halfshell" when he insulted Eddy's scam, even Double D comments on how Kevin had a point in that Eddy's scam was pretty lame.
  • Kevin also isn't wrong when he talks about how desperate Eddy is in "For the Ed, By the Ed" (he's running in a fake election against a piece of wood just to get some attention, for crying out loud.)
• Jerkass to One: He treats the Eds much worse than he treats everyone else. He particularly hates Eddy and picks on him the most.
• Jerk Jock: He tends to play the archetypal cool kid. Girls like him, he's got a sweet bike, he's good at sports, and he wears his hat backwards. As icing on the cake, his dad conveniently works at the "jawbreaker factory"—which gives Kevin an unlimited supply of the series' Holy Grail.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is a jerk mostly to the Eds, sometimes without being provoked. He can even be a bully towards Jimmy and Jonny, but it doesn't happen very often and it's pretty tame compared to the way Sarah treats Jonny. He is generally calmer and nicer to the other kids. He's good friends with Rolf, and will lend him a hand when needed. He also sticks up for the other kids if the Eds do something to them and, with three exceptions, he seems to be pretty generous with the mountain of jawbreakers in his garage. It's worth noting that he was also originally going to share some with the Eds before Eddy tried to pull his drawbridge scam on him.
  • He shows actual concern for the Eds when they get crushed by a truck full of anvils in the comic "A Load of Ed".
    Kevin: Dorks? Are you all right?
• Karma Houdini: Often, in the episodes where he makes fun of the Eds for fun's sake. Also, it's the main difference between him and Eddy: just compare the two episodes ("A Case of Ed" and "This Won't Hurt an Ed") where Kevin is tormented by Eddy (who is punished in both episodes) and the two episodes ("Your Ed Here" and "Smile For The Ed") where Eddy is tormented by Kevin (who doesn't get any comeuppance).
• Karma Houdini Warranty: Despite being usually a Karma Houdini, there are a few moments where Kevin gets his comeuppance.
  • In "Dueling Eds", he has been laughing at Eddy being beaten up by Rolf for most of the episode. At the end, he manages to anger Rolf too (like Eddy did before him) and it's implied he will receive his punishment off-screen.
  • In "For Your Ed Only", he hits the balloon that the Eds and Jonny were riding, causing the Eds to crash in Sarah's room. He gets a minor comeuppance later on when the Eds tie him to a tree after he eavesdrops on them over Sarah's diary.
  • In "Little Ed Blue", he (along with Eddy no less) keeps on annoying Ed and pitching baseballs at his head. Obviously Ed beats him up...by using Eddy as a baseball bat against him.
  • In the movie, Nazz slaps Kevin and destroys his bike because he cares about it more than he cares about her.
  • In "Dim Lit Ed", after Kevin insults Double D, the latter puts a dunce cap on Kevin. Eddy follows up by forcing the cap down his head, making all the kids laugh at Kevin. Even better, when Kevin retaliates, Nazz calls him stupid. This is not a notable moment, just a rare gag where Eddy gets the upper hand on Kevin.
  • If you think the ending of "Stiff Upper Ed" with the kids enslaving the Eds is too cruel, there's a least a moment with Ed accidentally knocking Kevin around while trying to tie Kevin's shoes.
• Kick the Dog:
  • Him blackmailing Eddy in "Your Ed Here" and then revealing Eddy's middle name anyways.
  • Sabotaging Eddy's school photo in "Smile for the Ed" also counts.
• Kids Are Cruel: Of all the Cul-de-sac kids, Kevin plays this role straight, behaving no other than a stereotypical Jerk Jock.
• Knight Templar: His reasons for bullying the Eds are generally justified, but he frequently goes too far.
• Lantern Jaw of Justice: Fitting, given his role as Hero Antagonist. It earns him the nickname "shovel chin" from Eddy.
• Large Ham: He tends to get loud and expressive when he snaps at the Eds.
• The Leader: Seems to be this for the rest of the kids, much to the constant annoyance of Eddy. A Type III or Type IV, or the more de facto type. He also takes up leadership when the neighborhood thinks they're under attack by aliens, rallying everyone to take up arms to rescue Ed and Rolf, and ends up completely enraged trying to deal with everyone's incompetence.
• Leitmotif: Whenever Kevin pulls out his bike or rides his bike, you can hear trumpets playing.
• Lightning Bruiser: Kevin is perhaps the fourth physically strongest character in the series, but his prime trait is riding his bicycle at ludicrous speed.
• Lovable Jock: Despite his contempt towards the Eds, his better relationship with the other kids, genuine care for Nazz, and overall redemption towards the end of the movie has induced a likable factor in Kevin's character.
• Meaningful Name: "Kevin" means "handsome", which is a good indicator for how shallow and vain he is.
• Men Don't Cry: The only male character besides Plank^*And that's only because Plank lacks any tear ducts to begin with to never cry.
• Mirror Character: To Eddy. While they hate each other, they are probably the most similar characters in the series, personality-wise. They're both rude, egotistical, sarcastic leaders with a show-off attitude who often pick on people and give insulting nicknames and both speak in a Totally Radical "cool guy" slang. The only notable difference is that Kevin is popular and charismatic whereas Eddy is not. There have even been rare moments of the two getting along (somewhat) while making fun of someone else.
• Moving the Goalposts: In the episode where he learns Eddy's Embarrassing Middle Name, he uses the blackmail material to make Eddy perform all sorts of humiliating stunts, and at the end of the episode, he tells everyone the name anyway.
• Never My Fault: In "For Your Ed Only", Kevin hits Ed's balloon at the beginning of the episode, causing the Eds to crash in Sarah's room and run away with her diary in panic. Later on, he calls out the Eds for doing so. He probably didn't know those events were connected.
• The Nicknamer: He always calls the Eds "Dorks" or some variations of it ("Dork, Dork and Dorky"), sometimes calls Edd "Double Dork" or "Double Dweeb" and he also calls Jimmy "Fluffy". He also calls Jimmy and Sarah "squirt" on occasion.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Dishes this out frequently to the Eds (mostly Eddy).
• Non-Standard Character Design: Slightly. He's the only character to have swirly markings in his ears, as opposed to 3 or x markings.
• Odd Friendship: He and Rolf appear to be best friends. This makes enough sense, considering Rolf is the only kid athletic enough to play sports with.
• Only Sane Man: While he's an egotistical Jerk Jock, Kevin seems to be the closest thing the show has to a rational character in that he usually expresses annoyance towards the latest shenanigans.
• Opposites Attract: With Nazz, as he's typically a Jerk Jock, while she's normally a friendly Girl Next Door.
• Pet the Dog:
  • Despite his default Jerk Jock persona and contempt for the Eds, he usually has a good relationship with the other kids, if not above some casual teasing towards Jimmy and Jonny. However, moments like this with the Eds are rare.
  • In a couple of episodes he struck up a polite conversation with Double D, simply because Double D is kind, unlike Eddy, who is the one who usually antagonizes Kevin in the first place. He even calls Double D "hombre" (pal).
  • On rare occasions, he can be complimentary towards Ed.
    • In "Over Your Ed", he can't help but be impressed by Ed's new look and attitude after initially being skeptical.
    • In "Fa-La-La-La-Ed'', he commends Ed on stopping the Piggy Bank Belly Pumper scam and giving Jimmy his piggy bank back.
  • In "Pick an Ed", he's very friendly to the "new guy" Carl (Eddy's alter-ego).
  • He's seen rolling his eyes when Jimmy proudly introduces Mr. Yum-Yum, but when Ed steals it, Kevin chases after him with the others and, before finding him, angrily demands Eddy to know what Ed's done with it.
  • When the Eds sent Jimmy crying out of the house by breaking into their party, Kevin—not Sarah—was the first one to call them out for it. Considering how often Kevin picks on Jimmy, this is surprisingly courteous of him.
  • Subverted in "Run For Your Ed." When he finds Ed sleeping in his refrigerator, he doesn't even get angry. He just calmly tells Edd and Eddy "I believe this belongs to you" and lets the duo pick up Ed without any trouble. It's only because Kevin had chores to do at that moment, and he tells the duo that he would have beat all the Eds up if not for said chores.
  • And, of course, the big one: He stands up to Eddy's brother after seeing firsthand the kind of abuse Eddy has always had to deal with.
• Pride: His defining flaw as well as the biggest thing he has in common with Eddy.
• Redhead In Green: He wears a green shirt and is a redhead.
• Red Is Violent: He wears a red cap and is known to often beat up the Eds.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Nazz's Blue Oni. He's brash and hot-tempered, while she's sweet and rational.
• The Rival: He and Eddy compete a lot. Due to the nature of the show, Kevin usually wins.
• Ship Tease: There are hints toward him being a couple with Nazz, especially in The Movie.
• Signature Headgear: He's rarely seen without his red backwards cap. He even wears it in the bath.
• Significant Name Shift: He usually calls the Eds "dorks" to show his dislike of them, especially Eddy. At the end of the movie, he calls Eddy "pal" to signify him and his friends no longer being outcasts and finally accepted by the kids.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: He hates the Eds and the Eds hate him (well, Eddy hates him, anyway).
• Skewed Priorities: In the movie, he's more worried about his bike getting trashed than Nazz getting hurt in the gag factory. She was not best pleased, but does forgive him by the finale.
• Skyward Scream: "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKS!!" in the movie.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Subverted (the small name part, at least), since he's one of the most popular kids.
• Smug Super: He's proud to be cool and often acts arrogant and boastful.
• Teens Are Monsters: The creators confirm he is 15 years old, and is often quite nasty to the Eds.
• Took a Level in Kindness: The Movie ends with him forgiving the Eds and accepting them as friends, after he saw the abuse that Eddy was suffering at the hands of his big bro, and he ordered Eddy's brother to knock it off.
• Totally Radical: Especially the way he talks. He says "man" and "totally" often as well.
• Toxic Friend Influence: Can be considered as this to the rest of the neighborhood kids in front of the Eds, due to his significant amount of popularity both in and out of school.
• The Troublemaker: Jerk Jock Kevin usually keeps to himself, but will often go after the Eds (or "dorks", as he often calls them) as payback for one of their scams. In "Ed, Ed and Away", he's the one responsible for sending the Eds on a wild goose chase after a balloon, just to watch them fall over themselves trying to catch it.
• Tsundere: Type A, to everyone that isn't an Ed or a Kanker he's still kind of rude and sometimes messes with the way smaller and wimpier Jimmy and likes to tease some of Rolfs eccentricities, but he puts away his abrasiveness whenever they need help. Best seen when Ed steals Jimmy's stuffed toy right out of his hands and runs away to sacrifice it to summon Evil Tim, which makes Kevin the first one to corner Eddy and demand "Where's Mister Yum Yum?" despite him being very obviously annoyed and bored to be hanging out with Jimmy that day.
• Ungrateful Bastard: When Ed saved him from the Kankers, instead of thanking him, he acts nasty as usual.
• Unreliable Narrator: His dialogue in "See No Ed" and The Movie implies that he views the Eds as Karma Houdinis who always get away with their underhanded schemes. Anybody who's seen two episodes of the show know this is not the case at all.
• Verbal Tic:
  • DORKS! DORKS! DORKS! DORKS! DORKS! He seems unable to think of a better insult—he's out of the bet first in "All Eds Are Off".
  • Says "man" a lot too.
• Vocal Evolution: In the earlier episodes of season one, Kevin sounds calmer and has a slightly deeper voice. It's more notable watching the later episodes, noticing how loud Kevin is whenever he shouts "DORKS!"
• Wouldn't Hit a Girl:
  • In the movie, when Nazz slaps him, he doesn't hit her back.
  • Subverted in "Little Ed Blue" when Sarah hits him with a soda bottle and he attempts to hit her back with food, but it misses. Though that was more playful than malicious.
  • In the Valentine's Day special, Lee punches Kevin after she's snapped out of her trance, and he doesn't hit back.

Nazz Van Bartonscheer is a cute, somewhat dim Girl Next Door-type. She frequently reduces the boys (except Jimmy and Rolf) in the neighborhood to sweaty, nervous wrecks of early-adolescent lust, apparently without realizing it. It can also be said that she's the second most realistic character. She doesn't mind the Eds too much, unless they really annoy her or injure her. Not to be confused with Todd Rundgren's former band.

---

• Affectionate Nickname:
  • Kevin calls her "babe" in The Movie.
  • Rolf refers to her as "Go-Go Nazz-Girl" in one episode.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys:
  • Possibly why she seems to have a thing for Kevin. It's not known, by the end of the movie, if she still likes him, since he's shown to care about his bike more than her and the problem was never resolved.
  • Played with. In the show it's implied she has a crush on Eddy's brother, possibly only because of his "cool guy" reputation (she thinks he's "so rad"). However, when he's revealed to be a jerk in the movie, she clearly changes her mind about him, and starts hating him like the other kids.
  • Debatably a Zig-Zagged Trope, as there are some hints here and there that she may also have a thing for Double D.
• Ambiguous Innocence: Normally Nazz is the nice girl among the kids, but despite this she sometimes can't help but to laugh from the sidelines whenever the rest of her friends start messing with the Eds.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: The hot girl loved by almost all the boys in-universe also happens to be the only nice female character on the show.
• Beware the Nice Ones: She's generally pretty kind and extremely patient, if absent-minded, but she has her limits. Case in point, Eddy trying to touch her when she's minding her own business gets her to reflexively turn around and kick him down the street before she notices Double D with a camera and goes back to her usual self.
  • Usually, she wouldn't be doing anything bad to anybody, including the Eds, but in the Halloween special, Ed, who has watched too many monster movies, mistakes her for Medusa and puts her in cement. Afterwards, she gets so pissed off and wants the hides of not just Ed, but his friends, too! Somewhat out of character, but given the slab of cement she's stuck in and the beatdown Ed gave her, it's understandable.
  • In the movie, the grievous injuries she suffered in the Eds' unspecified scam were bad enough that she joined the angry mob chasing after them.
• Big Eater: Not as much as Ed, but she does tend to eat like an pig and would often devour scraps of food that are everywhere. Everytime Nazz sees food, she eats it and never stops. Considering she used to be obese, this may be a lingering trait of her fatter days.
• Brainless Beauty: Downplayed and Depending on the Writer (see Dumb Blonde), as sometimes she's portrayed as one of the smarter kids and is usually more sensible than most characters.
• Break the Cutie: Nazz almost undergoes this after finding how how much Kevin values his bike more than her. Until he semi-apologizes for it, she turns seriously jaded.
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: There are times where she suffers a subversion of this despite being The Cutie, like when the Eds accidentally knock a wooden fence on top of her and her friends.
• Characterization Marches On: Originally she was just a sweet, pretty Girl Next Door. Later seasons turned her into a Dumb Blonde.
• Class Princess: Despite being the prettiest girl in the neighbourhood and a cheerleader who hangs out with the Jerk Jock, she's still a kind and friendly Girl Next Door.
• Cool Big Sis: She acts as this to Sarah and Jimmy. Nazz is the one who usually stands up for Jimmy if Sarah isn't around. According to the series bible Sarah hero-worships Nazz and although we rarely see that in the show (due to Nazz being always Out of Focus), their few interactions are usually positive and it's especially seen in "High Heeled Ed". In "For You Ed Only", upon hearing Sarah's diary is missing, immediately marshalls Kevin and Rolf to help find it.
• Covert Pervert: In "I Am Curious Ed", when Sarah and Jimmy want to find out where babies come from, she blushes and starts giggling madly.
• The Cutie: Nazz is very sweet and sometimes ditzy, which makes her rather endearing.
• Day in the Limelight: The movie gives her more characterization than she got throughout the entire main series run. As the film makes her more than just a semi-Satellite Character to act as the Generic Guy, she spends the majority of the film with no one other than Kevin, and her only hinted-at crush on him becomes much more apparent until she eventually grows fed up with him only caring about his bike. Additionally, her propensity for sleuthing such as when she picks up on Edd having been at the gag factory via his "Dusty Dusty Dusty" label is depicted.
• Depending on the Writer:
  • Nazz's portrayal is vastly different depending on the episode. She can be either the Team Mom, a Flat Character whose only purpose is to show that Everyone Loves Blondes, or act just as immaturely as the rest of the cast.
  • Her interest in Kevin also goes back and forth. Sometimes she seems to have a crush on him, other times she seems annoyed by his attempts to impress her and only sees him as a friend.
• Didn't Think This Through: In "Tight End Ed," while her intentions of making Ed the school's mascot were good given Ed's spontaneous behavior, this caused a lot of problems. With the exception of Kevin, the football team are incompetent, and Ed was at least physically capable enough going up against the Lemon Brook Lumpers. With Ed removed from the team and everyone, barring Kevin, not taking the game seriously, the Peach Creek Cobblers got demolished and lost the game. Though Nazz meant well, she disregarded the potential the Cobblers could've had in defeating the Lumpers by removing a powerhouse.
• Ditzy Genius: While Nazz is smart, mature, rational, and a good student, she has her ditzy Dumb Blonde moments from time to time (mostly in later episodes). Due to how Out of Focus she tends to be, it's hard to see how smart or dumb she is.
• Dreadful Musician: She isn't a very good tuba player. She's also shown to be terrible at yodeling, as her yodeling caused glass and even Ed to break.
• Dude Magnet: It becomes a plot point in "Boys Will Be Eds". The only male characters who don't have a crush on Nazz are Jimmy (who probably sees Nazz more as an older sister) and Rolf (who might only like girls from his home country).
• Dumb Blonde: Shows tendencies of this, especially in season 5. In one episode she asks a dummy of Double D to sign her petition, and after the dummy's head falls off, Nazz picks it up and asks: "Are you okay, dude?"
• Everyone Loves Blondes: She has blonde hair and all but two of the boys want her.
• Flat Character: Prior to her Flanderization, she was pretty bland and one-dimensional compared to everyone else.
• Foil: Being a Nice Girl who is also considered very pretty by most of the cast, Nazz is the antithesis of Sarah and the Kankers.
• Formerly Fat: To cartoonish levels in a flashback in the episode "Every Which Way But Ed", to the point where she can raise water levels alone and eclipse the sun. Let's just say that she was understating her former girth by saying she was "chubby".
• The Generic Girl: Before her Flanderization, Nazz spent a good chunk of screen time having a rather flat personality. It isn’t until later seasons (and especially in the movie) that she finally gets more characterization.
• Girliness Upgrade: In the first four seasons, Nazz was mostly a Tomboy with a Girly Streak and more or less One of the Boys. By the fifth season, she becomes a full-blown Girly Girl, starts wearing skirts and dresses more often, and is revealed to be the school's head cheerleader. Also, in early seasons she seems to prefer wearing boys' underwear like boxers (as shown in See No Ed), while in season 5, she wears frilly panties instead (see Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed and A Town Called Ed)
• Girl Next Door: She's a cute and approachable girl, who's genuinely friendly to everyone.
• Girly Bruiser: Surprisingly enough, she doesn't often fight, but Nazz can pack a punch.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Nazz is a variant of the trope. At first sight, she appears to be a tomboy due to her short hair and regular tomboyish clothes (black t-shirt, tank top, and jeans), has a athletic side in sports and cheerleading, and talks like a Surfer Dude. But other than that, she is a flirty, giggling, sweet Girly Girl who's interested in hair care products, cute boys, fashion (wearing dresses for special occasions), cooking, babysitting, and cheerleading. Her room is also quite girly, as seen in "A Glass of Warm Ed". She's easily the girliest female character on the show, despite her tomboyish appearance and Totally Radical speech.
• Given Name Reveal: More like Last Name Reveal, in the movie we find out her last name is "Van Bartonscheer". Making her the only character besides the Kankers who has a full name.
• Goofy Print Underwear: A bit more understandable as she is a girl, but she's seen twice wearing heart-printed underwear, once as boxers and once in panties.
• Graceful Ladies Like Purple: She's the most popular and well-loved girl in both the Cul-de-Sac and Peach Creek Junior High, and she normally wears purple pants. She also wore other purple outfits throughout the show, such as the purple dress in the Cartoon Network Invaded special "The Eds are Coming".
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's a nice, beautiful, blonde Girl Next Door.
• The Heart: She generally brings out the best side in other people, including Kevin, Sarah and Eddy. In "Tight End Ed", she comes up with the idea to make Ed the school mascot to boost school spirit and generally seems to enjoy socializing and bringing happiness to people.
• Head-Turning Beauty: Played straight especially in "Boys Will Be Eds", and also in other episodes occasionally like "Smile For The Ed". In "Pop Goes The Ed", Eddy and Kevin melt at the sight of her.
• Holding in Laughter: She doesn’t hold back her laughs normally when with the rest of the neighborhood, but sometimes she’s plainly aware of how mean it’d be to laugh at someone and is trying to stop herself. Double D making an absolute fool of himself on his first day of school by geeking out gets Kevin laughing in his face and Nazz is trying to stop herself from joining (but she draws the line when he calls him a dweeb and smacks him for it), and when Sarah and Jimmy try asking her where babies come from she can’t answer the question without laughing and has to walk away.
• Hidden Depths:
  • She is able to recite union labor laws on the spot in order to vouch for Eddys right to protest, which gets Kevin to back off from ruining his strike.
    Nazz: Babysitters gotta know this stuff...
  • She also makes a fire in the Movie.
  • She gets mostly good grades according to her report card in "Mission Ed-Possible.". Especially surprising since this was a season 5 episode, the season where she acts like a Dumb Blonde the most.
• Hypocrite: In "Boys Will Be Eds", she reprimands the boys and calls them "jerks" for laughing at Jimmy. In many other episodes, she has no problem laughing at the Eds (or even Jimmy himself) along with everyone else.
• Ink-Suit Actor: Nazz really looks like her voice actress. Ironically in an interview (Ed Edd N Eddy Behind the Scenes Documentary) Erin Fitzgerald, who provides the voice for both May and Nazz, says that she can relate more to May.
• Jerkass Ball:
  • She, along with the other kids, messes with the Eds in "It's Way Ed" by changing fads every three seconds.
  • She snaps at the Eds in "Once Bitten, Twice Ed" during the raccoon exam.
  • In the episode "To Sir With Ed", when she humiliates Eddy in his house when she was supposed to be babysitting him.
  • She almost always joins in the other kids in laughing at the humiliations of the Eds ("Your Ed Here", "X Marks the Ed," and "Smile for the Ed") or even the other kids like Jimmy ("If It Smells Like an Ed").
• Lethal Chef: According to "Mission Ed-Possible", where her grade in cooking is a D, but her macaroni and cheese might be the only dish she can make that tastes good.
• Made of Iron: In one episode, she survived getting a car thrown on her.
• Morality Pet: Being liked by everyone (except the Kankers), she tends to be this to all the meaner characters.
  • Out of everyone, Kevin treats her the nicest and she's the only one who has never been insulted by Kevin. Subverted in the movie where he seems to care about his bike more than her.
  • She brings out a nicer side to Eddy who also has a soft spot for her. Though this never stops him from trying to scam her like the others.
  • She manages to get along well with Sarah. Along with Jimmy, she's the only character Sarah is constantly nice to, despite their small fight in "Truth or Ed".
  • Subverted with the Kankers who don't really like Nazz and have no problem bullying her, as seen in the Valentine's Day special. In "May I Have This Ed", Marie destroys a sound box out of jealousy when she sees Nazz dancing with Double D, while Lee calls her a hussy.
• Nice Girl: The only female character who is this trope. She tends to act nicely to all of the Eds and only lashes out at them if their scam causes someone injury.
• Number Two: One half of that role for the entire neighborhood kids, albeit a more de facto type, since she shares her popularity levels in-universe with Kevin, who also has a crush on her (and so does she, but for him, at least). Shares this role with Rolf.
• Odd Name Out: She has the weirdest name compared to the other characters (including Plank).
• Only Sane Woman: While she later becomes something of a ditz, she's generally the most mature of the cul-de-sac kids.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "Big Picture Show", the fact that even she wants to eviscerate the Eds for their scam gone wrong signals just how bad the scam was.
• Opposites Attract: With Kevin. It's even confirmed in The Movie that she does have feelings for him (only for them to be halted because of his bike).
• Out of Focus: Unlike the other kids, Nazz is rarely involved in the plot. She plays a major role in only three episodes ("To Sir with Ed", "High Heeled Ed", and "Boys Will Be Eds"). Even Plank gets more plotlines revolving around him.
• Ping Pong Naïveté: Due to her being Out of Focus, Nazz switches from fairly being a Dumb Blonde to being the most level-headed among the Cul-de-Sac kids. See Depending on the Writer above for more information.
• Popular Is Dumb: Downplayed, but she's the most popular kid of the Cul-de-Sac in-universe and can be a Dumb Blonde depending on the episode.
• Positive Friend Influence: Is mostly this to Kevin, since she makes him show his softer side despite being typically a Jerk Jock.
• Proud Beauty: Only once did she show she’s probably aware of all the people crushing on her, using her looks and flirty personality on Eddy in High Heeled Ed to try and woo him into giving her a pair of solid gold pants before Sarah and Jimmy. It nearly works up until Jimmy starts speaking cash (five dollars) and gets Eddy to snap out of his nervous break to sell it to him.
• Precocious Crush: Upon finally seeing Eddy's Brother in the finale of the Big Picture Show, she's lovestruck and stares at him with complete admiration while everyone else (except Jimmy) is frustrated that the Eds got to safety. She instantly drops her look once he reveals how much of a monster he is, however.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Kevin's Red Oni. Whenever they’re together it’s usually her trying to keep him from being a complete jerk, telling him to be nice or rarely giving him a Dope Slap when he’s going too far. In contrast, Kevin usually doesn’t hold back if he’s by himself.
• Ship Tease: With Kevin (especially in The Movie), Double D and Eddy.
• Single Girl Seeks Most Popular Guy: Kevin. And in "Ed, Pass it On" it's heavily implied she had/has a crush on Eddy's Brother (until the Movie, anyway). In "Over Your Ed" she also seems to like Ed after he becomes popular.
• Smooch of Victory: Nazz honors Double D with a hug and a peck when he prepares to sacrifice himself to stop Ed's rampage. Eddy gets one too after surviving his brother.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: Not as much as the Kankers, but she's still prone to crushes. She was seen romantically interested in Kevin, had a temporary crush on Eddy's brother, kissed both Eddy and Double D (and also danced with the latter in a school dance), and was mildly attracted to Ed in the episode where he got a makeover ("Over Your Ed").
• Straight Man: Ditziness aside, she’s by and large the most sensible and least eccentric kid in the neighborhood, preferring to just hang out with everyone else and never instigate anything, usually reacting to all the absurdities in the cul-de-sac by taking it in stride or just leaving the scene in awkwardness or disgust.
• Team Mom: Of the cul-de-sac kids, she's the most mature and concerned with the well being of others.
• Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: An inversion with her and Sarah. Nazz is a Nice Girl and one of the least violent characters while Sarah is a Bratty Half-Pint and one of the most violent characters.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: She's more traditionally feminine than Sarah.
• Took a Level in Badass: It's been shown before that she can hold her own, but in the movie she shows a lot of fortitude for a seemingly ordinary, ditzy preteen girl.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: In some of the later episodes. In "Too Smart for His Own Ed" even Double D, who has a crush on her, gets visibly annoyed by her ditziness.
• Totally Radical: Not to Kevin's extent but holds her own. She still has the habit when she's an old woman in "Take This Ed and Shove It."
• Tsundere: She's normally quite sweet and easy-going, but she can be pretty harsh at times (thus, making her a Type B tsundere).
• Verbal Tic:
  • Dude!
  • "Duh", as well, particularly in later seasons.
  • Awesome!
• Woman Scorned: She was not happy when Kevin was fussing over his bike when she could have been seriously hurt in the movie.

Plank

Jonny's Companion Cube. While he has no speaking role in the show, he often interacts with the characters as if he was alive.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: There are several instances where Plank has shown a morally questionable compass. One example is all the fiasco he put the Eds and Jonny through in "Gimme Gimme Never Ed", or when even Jonny seems horrified with his ideas. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy episode "Billy and Mandy Moon the Moon", which aired during an event of Cartoon Network episodes and specials having to do with aliens and featured cameos by characters from other Cartoon Network shows, shows he may be an agent / spy for a hostile alien race, however this is most likely non-canon.
• Animate Inanimate Object: We never really see him move on screen, but there've been points where he seems to move offscreen without anyone noticing, like sneaking up behind the Eds while they're stuck in a hellish roller coaster and push them down while they're helpless.
• Animated Music Video: Starred in one titled "My Best Friend Plank" along with Jonny.
• Batman Gambit: "Gimme Gimme Never Ed". He uses Eddy's natural greed and anger to foil the Eds' scam and get a couple of cheap thrills, with no cost to him or Jonny.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: Don't piss off Plank. He has back-up.
• Bully Hunter: In "For the Ed, by the Ed", he gives a merciless thrashing to the Kankers sisters because they were bullying Jimmy and were about to force him to eat a worm.
• Cheek Copy: This is Plank we're talking about, so it's a picture of a plank.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: At first he was with Jonny, then he went to Jimmy, and then back to Jonny. In "Urban Ed", before returning to Jonny, he left him for the Eds and their city. In "Gimme Gimme Never Ed", he asked the Eds to make some rides for him to go on, but he ended up betraying them at the same time getting back the money Jonny spent for the rides. Finally in "All Eds are Off", he decides to hang with Eddy when Jonny didn't spend time with him anymore, only to return to Jonny once more, though it could be just a trick used by Eddy to make Jonny to lose the bet.
• Companion Cube: To Jonny, since he's a plank of wood that Jonny treats like a person.
• A Dog Named "Dog": Well, he's a plank named Plank.
• Grievous Harm with a Body: Whenever Jonny uses Plank as a blunt weapon, assuming Plank's even alive in the first place.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With his human companion, Jonny. Though of course that's assuming that things like gender and sexuality are even applicable concepts for "him."
• Jerkass Ball: In "Gimme Gimme Never Ed" and "Pick An Ed", he's more insulting and mean-spirited than usual, at least judging from what Jonny claims he is saying.
• Made of Iron: Like the rest of the cast, he tends to be beaten up and abused quite a bit, like being sawed halfway through his body, getting chipped and damaged and having his face paint smeared off to Jonny's horror (which blinds and mutes him judging from his reaction). He inevitably gets better despite the grievous bodily harm.
• Manipulative Bastard: It's speculated that Plank is this, manipulating Jonny and who knows else to get what he wants. Case in point, he once got a premium meal of fried lobster with butter on an imaginary plane made by Jimmy and Sarah while Jonny got three peanuts.
  Jonny: "What do you mean, you special ordered?"
• The Napoleon: Out of all the show's main characters, he's technically the shortest among them, but never mess with him, especially since he could pay you back with something undesirable for what you have unpleasantly done to him, like what happened to the Eds at the end of "Gimme, Gimme, Never Ed".
• Noodle Incident: Plank has a photo of him doing something unspeakable and apparently really dirty that's used against him in the elections for king in "For the Ed, By the Ed". We don't see it.
  Rolf: *on the photo* Is it not just a piece of wood?
• Not-So-Imaginary Friend: There are times when it seems that Plank is more than just a piece of wood, being able to fill Jonny in on stuff he really shouldn’t have known about because he was there instead or moving around off screen.
  • When the Eds are trying to repair his kitchen sink while Jonny was stuck in a tree, they take Plank to 'supervise' them by Jonny's demand. After utterly wrecking Jonny's kitchen, Eddy successfully lies to Jonny about everything being fine up until Plank 'shouts' to him that the kitchen was destroyed. Even Eddy looks bemused as to how Plank could be 'shouting' this to Jonny and covers his mouth.
  • As a very minor case and something of an exception to the usual way he’s drawn, when he and Jonny pretend to be a two headed monster his pupils halved actually moves to be looking right at the viewer like Jonny is.
  • After getting Jonny to bribe the Eds into riding their terrifying new roller coaster with Plank, he explicitly moves offscreen when no one was looking and tips himself over without so much as a gust of wind to embarrass the Eds by sending them down their own ride.
  • When Eddy's disguising himself as a bunch of a new kids to the school to finally get some respect and friends, Plank gets smacked and slides right under Eddy's skirt when he's Disguised in Drag. Jonny goes to get him back, and Plank's able to fill Jonny in that the new chick's just Eddy in disguise and Jonny spills the beans to everyone right after.
  • Best exemplified during the bus scene in The Movie, which culminates in Plank actually driving a bus. Note that it isn’t him being the drivers seat as it just so happens to be rolling in one direction, he’s somehow using the steering wheel and stepping on the gas on a busy road.
• Offscreen Teleportation: Plank is capable of this - especially in The Movie.
• Only Friend: To Jonny as of the movie.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Subverted. The kids easily recognize that Jonny's Captain Melonhead, and that Plank is Splinter the Wonderwood, but they still play along with it anyway.
• Perpetual Smiler: Since his face is painted on, he never changes his expression and is always grinning.
• Real After All: The show often makes subtle implications Plank may indeed be sentient. For example, Jonny, simply by talking to Plank, is able to learn about events that occurred that Jonny was not around for, but Plank was. Or he's "real" in the sense of being Jonny's Split Personality. He also sometimes moves independently from Jonny, such as when he somehow moves to pull the switch to the rollercoaster in "Gimme Gimme Never Ed". The Movie flat out confirms this, with Plank driving a bus without Jonny's help, after somehow reaching the drivers seat without Jonny's help.
• Reality Warper: How else can he do anything if he's an inanimate piece of wood?
• Snarky Inanimate Object: Plank has some good comebacks he delivers via Jonny.
• Squishy Wizard: He can manipulate others to do his bidding, able to defeat even the strongest characters with careful timing, can do a Batman Gambit in which even Jonny is not aware of, etc. However, he's still just a piece of wood.
• Straight Man and Wise Guy: Seemingly, the Straight Man to Jonny's Wise Guy.
• Those Two Guys: He's seldom seen without Jonny. If he ever is, it’s a sign to whoever found him that something has very obviously gone wrong with Jonny.
• Toxic Friend Influence: It is implied a lot of Jonny's more abrasive moments are provoked by Plank. Nearly everything insulting or cold he has to say is headed with "Plank says...", like at the end of "Don't Rain on My Ed" when he refuses to open the door of the Candy Store.
• The Unintelligible: Apparently, Plank actually does speak to Jonny. In "Rent-a-Ed", he actually tells Jonny from across the yard how Eddy gutted his sink, even though Jonny wasn't even there at the time.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: It appears that adults are perfectly willing to feed into the idea that Plank is alive; not only does he always have his own seat in the school's classrooms, but he's also permitted to compete in the spelling bee and has a position in the school's football team, all with literally nobody (not even Edd) questioning it.
• The Voiceless: At least to everyone who isn't Jonny. Jimmy seems to hear Plank sometimes. When Plank got the lobster, it would make sense to assume Jimmy heard him. There is also an episode when Jimmy took Plank in when Jonny and Plank supposedly had a fight. Also there was one episode where Ed claimed to hear him and another where Eddy convinced Jonny that Plank said something that he didn't. Additionally, in "Every Which Way but Ed", Eddy painted himself to look like Plank and verbally responded to several things Jonny said with phrases like "You said it pal", and accidentally swallows Jonny's head trying to get Jonny's jawbreaker, and Jonny doesn't even bat an eye, seemingly believing it is Plank who's just acting a bit strange.
• Walk the Plank: In "Avast Ye Eds", he was, naturally, the plank itself.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Being a hunk of wood, Plank really doesn’t like water. When drenched in water, his face smears and Johnny is absolutely mortified at his 'disfigurement', and being knocked into a puddle of water swells him up like a sponge. The pilot episode also has Eddy hold Plank hostage by pressing a leaky water pistol to his head while Jonny is forced to watch until he confesses.
• Would Hit a Girl: Delivers a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown (all in slapstick) to all three Kankers when they bully Jimmy. He does it again (offscreen) when he raids their trailer to rescue Plank.
• You Killed My Father: After trusting the Eds with showing Plank's parents a good time while on their vacation, they accidentally wound up beheading them. Plank is mortified, and as payback he calls on his entire extended family for help avenging his parents. The episode ends with the Eds trapped in a tree and scared (except Eddy, who thinks this whole thing is stupid) out of their minds as they’re inexplicably surrounded by dozens of his relatives, an entire Plank mafia waiting for them to come down.

Rolf

Ed-boys!!!

Voiced by: (English) Peter Kelamis
Voiced by: (Latin America) Daniel Abundis (Current Voice), Carlos Hernández (Season 5-6)
Voiced by: (Swedish) Håkan Mohede

An oddball foreigner who runs a farm in the backyard of his home, and frequently rambles about either his oddball family or the oddball customs of The Old Country, which was formerly named Cloudcuckooland, (and suggested to actually be Norway.) He's usually tolerant of the "Ed-boys", unless he becomes a direct target of one of Eddy's scams.

---

• Accent Adaptation: Has a Kansai accent in the Japanese dub.
• Affectionate Nickname: While this is primarily meant to be satirical, he is sometimes referred to as "Rolfy-boy" by others rather positively, most notably Eddy (which is similar to Ed's case, but with the nickname "Lumpy").
• Amazon Chaser: Implied. He often refers to Nazz as "Go-Go Nazz-Girl" and at one point "Spindleshanks Nazz Girl" ^note refers to long, slender legs. Given that Rolf has no romantic interest in Nazz like the rest of the boys (sans Jimmy), it's because he's simply not attracted to her femininity. Rather, Rolf's preference lies towards girls who have more physical strength rather than looks, and it's all but confirmed when he unknowingly flirts with "Lumpita" (Ed disguised as a girl) as Rolf particularly makes note about 'her' muscles and 'shoddy face paint' being attractive features to him.
• Ambiguously Brown: He's brown skinned and his racial background is unknown. It's heavily implied to be eastern European of some extraction. It's possible that he's of Romani descent considering they have darker skin tones than most Europeans and can be frequently found in the East of the continent. On the other hand, he does a lot of work outdoors, so it's also possible his skin tone is the result of tanning. Making things more ambiguous is that his typical outfit from back home, as shown in a folder, looks Swedish in nature.
  • This is actually intentional, Antonucci has gone on record stating he doesn't want Rolf to be labeled a "stereotype" (ala Apu from "The Simpsons"), so he takes a collection of European traits (accent, skin tone, Norway/Sweden references etc) to purposefully make Rolf's origin difficult to pin-point.
• Arch-Enemy: While Rolf and Eddy are usually on strangely okay terms, Eddy specifically loathes Rolf when he, Jimmy, Jonny and Plank put on their Urban Ranger uniforms and begin showing off, and Rolf is glad to mock Eddy for being a jealous washout in turn. Ever since the Eds tried to get a badge as Ranger recruits and failed horribly in Oath to an Ed, Eddy's hated the Urban Rangers for the rest of the series and actively tries to sabotage or tell them off whenever they gather together.
  • Whoever those wolf people who menaced him and his sheep in The Old Country, he refers to them as such.
  Rolf: The chinless Ed-boy is in league with Rolf's sworn enemy! (tosses a wolf trinket at Edd's feet.)
• Asskicking Leads to Leadership: One of the reasons to why he's the official leader of the Urban Rangers, as best displayed in the episode "The Good, the Bad and the Ed" (where he's fighting against Eddy).
• Artifact of Doom: He was the original owner of the cursed phone until he did some ridiculous ritual to get rid of it.
• Author Avatar: The Eds may be based on parts of Antonucci's personality, but Rolf's backstory is based loosely off Antonucci's.
• Badass Native: He is an immigrant from The Old Country and he's done some pretty amazing stuff at times. Like dueling armed with a fish and beating his opponent to within an inch of his life, uprooting a large tree with his bare hands and cracking open a cast iron furnace with one hand and his tongue. In the movie he has most of his midsection bitten out and sews it back on.
• Bad Boss: To Ed in "Will Work For Ed", and to Wilfred in the movie, to the point where Wilfred actually attacks him.
• Bait-and-Switch: The finale of the Big Picture Show has him so outraged over Eddy's Brother abusing him that he pulls up his 'sleeves' (RE: his cartoonishly thin arms) up to reveal huge biceps, starts yelling that vengeance is coming, and then shoves Kevin in front of him to fight instead.
  Rolf: Rolf has had enough of your flap-doodle, elder one! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A MERCILESS THRASHING! (shoves Kevin forward)
  Kevin: [taken off-guard]...Hey, bro-guy! Lay off him, man!
• Berserk Button:
  • Rolf takes pride in his customs. He does not take kindly to those who ridicule the customs of his homeland. Do not tarnish them, or he will beat you. With a fish.
    Rolf: "Son of a gun, you insult Rolf by denying the eels?!"
  • Taking advantage of him and being scammed. The Eds push this one regularly.
  • Don't steal Rolf's chickens!
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's more towards being a nice, advice-giving person, and isn't usually bothered by the Eds if they just want to hang out... but he is extremely strong and can become violent if his Berserk Buttons are pushed.
• Big Brother Instinct: Has displayed this towards Jimmy a couple of times, like in "Here's mud in your Ed" when he helps him scam Eddy after Eddy cheats Jimmy out of his money.
• Big Eater: If it's meat, he'll eat it. And a lot of it. In "Tinker Ed", he ate all of his baloney when he thought someone was going to steal it from him; it was a huge load. In "All Eds Are Off", he bets that he can go without eating meat for the day and he looks like a skeleton. He didn't even last until lunch.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: Type II. He has funny unibrows, although not as noticeable as Ed's.
• Blunt Metaphors Trauma: Occasionally demonstrates a misunderstanding of idioms and figures of speech.
• Body Horror: In the movie he appears to have parts of him bitten out.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Rolf is a fun-loving, friendly guy who's extremely strong and can destroy his opponents easily.
• Book Dumb: He struggles with the English language. In "Too Smart for His Own Ed", he's unable to spell ("POPPYCOCK! CURSE THIS MONKEY RITUAL OF ENGLISH WORDS!") and in "Mission Ed-Possible" he gets a D in typing on his report card. His other grades are unknown but in "Pick an Ed" he's seen feeding the results of his failed English tests to his goat ("This alphabet F confounds Rolf to no end!").
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: Is very capable for almost any physical confrontation, especially when it's necessary, but is nonetheless an honorable fighter.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: However odd he may be, if there’s a problem then whatever solution Rolf knows to deal with it will nearly always work. It can be as mundane as treating acne using weird home remedies (although Eddy definitely wasn’t a fan of the side effect), or as niche instantly breaking someone’s impenetrable metal armor using his tongue and a weak spot (again, used against Eddy), or solving paranormal phenomenon like needing to perform a ritual to get rid of a dangerous cursed phone (that he never told Eddy how to perform to save himself), and saving an entire school from a powerful love spell using nothing but battle technique, lemons to soak his eyes, and filthy janitorial bucket water to empty in people's faces.
• Carpet of Virility: As the eldest of the main kids, Rolf is often shown to have hit puberty already. In "Scrambled Ed", he is already old enough to grow facial stubble, and "Take This End and Shove It" reveals him to have a full back of hair.
• The Cassandra: Sometimes, like in the episode "Sorry Wrong Ed", where no one believes that his old phone is cursed.
• Celibate Hero:
  • He never shows any romantic interest in Dude Magnet Nazz (alongside Jimmy), or any other character (male or female) on the show. Plus, he has remained the only character in the Valentine's Day special, specifically during the climactic cafeteria scene, to be unaffected by the Sarah and Jimmy cupids (due to shielding himself from them with his combat skills, as well as having background knowledge about possible supernatural phenomena).
  • He does get rather excited by the "Ms Arduous Fieldworker pageant" on TV, though, eagerly pointing out his favorite contestant (Gretchen) to Kevin - so he probably only likes girls from his homeland or has a different ideal of feminine beauty. Coupled other hints and moments throughout the series, Rolf's people seem to value physical ability, work ethic, personal honor, and common sense over physical appearance, qualities "Go-Go Nazz-girl" is somewhat lacking in.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • "Hello, Ed boys!"
  • When offended or angered, many of his sentences will begin with "You have [done whatever has offended me]".
  • He will occasionally refer to himself (typically when speaking of his family's customs) as the "Son of a shepherd".
  • He also has his own battle cry: "Shab-la-ka!"
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Rolf is the strongest character in the series after Ed, and it's possible that his strength could be a result of all of his farm work. To the point where he can uproot a large tree right after digging up a giant hole.
• Cloudcuckooland: Rolf's "old country" has some seriously bizarre customs and traditions.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Biggest character on the show to show really weird beliefs and quirks along with Ed and Jonny.
  • His elderly self in "Take This Ed And Shove It" is even more of one than his young self—he mistakes Eddy for Kevin only to immediately forget who Kevin is afterward, claims that his tractor isn't for sale when it actually is, etc.. This might be due to him suffering from dementia.
• Companion Cube: Similar to Jonny in that it's something that comforts him. Dissimilar to Jonny is that it's a giant clam named Bobo.
• Crazy Cultural Comparison: Everything from Rolf.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He may be a Funny Foreigner, Malaproper, and Cloudcuckoolander most of the time, but he's the second strongest kid in the cul-de-sac, besides Ed. "The Good, The Bad and The Ed", '"Ed, Edd N Eddy's Big Picture Show'" and "Will Work For Ed" are perfect examples of his badassery.
• Depending on the Writer: In "Hand Across Ed", Rolf seems OK with being filmed. In "An Ed is Born", he claims cameras are soul-stealing devices. In "Is There an Ed in the House?", he's once again fine with being photographed. In "Smile for the Ed", he reverts back to his idea that cameras are indeed soul-stealing devices.
• Disco Dan: His TV is huge, but has a screen about the size of a belt buckle, and he uses a typewriter for typing class.
• Dub Name Change: Known as Reinar in the Danish and Swedish dubs.
• Easily Impressed: Due to being a Funny Foreigner, it's pretty easy to catch his intrigue with the mundane customs of suburban life. The Eds regularly take advantage of this for their scams. Of course, they always seem to forget how the muscular guy doesn't take having his intrigue taken advantage of.
• Farm Boy: He works on his parents' small farm.
• Friend to All Living Things: He owns and takes care of quite a few animals including three pigs (one named Wilfred), a goat named Victor, at least six chickens, a cow named Beatrice, and five sheep.
• Funny Foreigner: He comes up with odd traditions (many of which involve fish) and sayings ("Do not burn the candle at both ends, as it leads to the life of a hairdresser") from his home country in nearly every episode he’s the focus of.
• Gentle Giant: He's the tallest of the Kids as a whole and is the uncontested toughest and best fighter, and although he's easily prone to anger and has consciously contributed to mischief numerous times (e.g. scaring the Eds with his fellow Urban Rangers), he's generally friendly towards others.
• Good Is Not Soft: He may be a friendly guy, but when you provoke him beware his Unstoppable Rage.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kevin, most of the time.
• Hot-Blooded: He's already energetic when he's normal. When he's pissed off, he becomes scarily aggressive along with being a Large Ham and a Boisterous Bruiser.
• Hyperspace Mallet: His infamous "Hat Of Discipline," which he used to pummel Double D for dressing his pig, Wilfred, up in a tuxedo (just because of a fake sticky note).
• I Am X, Son of Y: Often refers to himself as the "son of a shepherd".
• Improbable Weapon User: Duels in the Old Country are done with fish. Like men.
• In the Name of the Moon: Rolf pulls does this along with a Badass Boast when he captures Ed in the Season 5 episode "No Speak Da Ed".
  Rolf: QUAKE AND QUIVER LIKE A JELLYFISH, DOGGY-DOO-DOO ED-BOY! For in the name of the Great Shepherd Elders, ROLF WILL GRILL YOUR STRUDEL UNTIL YOU CRY LIKE A TEENSY-WEENSY BABY!
• Ironic Name: He has traumatic experiences with wolves in general, as revealed in "No Speak Da Ed", yet his own name has a "wolf" element in it (like other notable given names such as Rudolph, Randolph, Adolf, and Wolfgang)
• Jerkass Ball:
  • In "Stiff Upper Ed" he starts harassing Edd because he's hungry, and then he beats him up for no reason.
  • In "Will Work For Ed," Rolf kept docking Ed's pay for every small mistake he made.
  • After suffering the Eds' latest scam during the finale, Rolf had went into such a bloodlusted rage after them, that he starts abusing Wilfred, something he'd never done before.
• Large and in Charge: He is the tallest member of the Urban Rangers, and is the most authoritative of them.
• Large Ham: Probably the hammiest character in the series, and he has some serious competition.
• The Leader: He's the one in charge the Urban Rangers.
• Made of Iron: Just watch "The Good, The Bad and The Ed" and you'll understand why this trope applies to him.
• Manly Tears: He sheds these twice. In "Dueling Eds" when Eddy insulted his culture & in "Wish You Were Ed" when he wants to return to his homeland.
• Mean Boss: In the episode "Will Work For Ed," he fills this role towards Ed. He uncharacteristically acts like a jerk towards Ed by mistreating him and docking his pay for every single mistake he makes. What makes it worse is that he's portrayed in the right by the work for this. Then again, he does get better at the end of the episode after some aggressive yet happily productive negotiations with Double D as Eds union rep.
• Motor Mouth: He can talk very fast at times.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Except when he flexes or becomes enraged, he's drawn like a twig just like everyone else.
• My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: Downplayed. He's never outright incomprehensible, but his speech is a rather exaggerated version of the way a novice at a foreign language would speak. He uses words that don't make sense in the context (as though he were confusing the meanings of words), uses nonsensical idioms from his homeland, and tends to butcher English figures of speech. Similar to Double D, younger viewers will probably miss loads of his idiom-based humor and things he manages to slip past the radar ("Your garden is overgrown and your cucumbers are soft!"). English is obviously something he’s still getting used to, hence his speech.
  Rolf: "Curse this mode of expression..."
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: He always seems to know when something odd is happening — in the Valentine's Day episode he's the only one who can sense the Cupids (played by Jimmy and Sarah), and in "Run For Your Ed", he's the first one who responds to the Kanker's rampage.
• Naked People Are Funny: During the Eds' spa scam, Rolf's towel fell off in the sauna causing the other kids to freak out. Funnily enough, Rolf seems offended and bewildered at the other kids' reaction.
• Nice Guy: He's one of the few kids who's usually on good terms with the Eds. He not only tolerates them, but views them as friends, unless he's scammed or if wolves are brought up, or if they do anything that is an insult to his culture.
• The Nicknamer: Has many complicated nicknames for every character and character group, such as "snake-in-the-grass Ed boys", "half-wit-Ed-boy", "Jonny the Wood Boy" or "Go-Go Nazz girl." Humorously, he once called Sarah "She-Who-Gives-Migraines".
• Non-Specifically Foreign: It's implied, though never outright stated, that he's from somewhere in Europe.
• Noodle Incident: Apparently, Eddy's Brother did something to make him barricade his house, create a moat around it, and demand they tell Eddy's Brother that his chickens no longer exist when he thought he was returning.
• No Social Skills: Due to immigrating from another country and taking his exotic culture with him. The other kids like him plenty, but sometimes he crosses some lines that winds up putting them off or grossing them out.
• Number Two: Another half for this de facto role for the neighborhood kids as a whole alongside Nazz, especially given that he's Kevin's best friend, in which they are both occasionally shown hanging out with each other.
• Odd Friendship: With popular Jerk Jock Kevin. Rolf has a knack for sports and roughhousing and in spite of all his oddities that Kevin barely puts up with, he gets along better with him than the wimpy Jimmy, obnoxious Jonny, and the Eds.
• The Old Country: He claims to be from "the old country", which is a land of strange folk tales, ghastly traditions involving seafood, and lederhosen. An old photo of him (in black and white of course) shows mountains and Bavarian looking clothing, but his skin tone is Southern European (or Romani) and his customs come from all over.
• Pride: He takes great pride in being the son of a shepherd, and anything that trambles his honor or insults his status is a surefire way to piss him off.
• Purple Is the New Black: He, alongside Marie, are the only kids in the series who were shown to have blue hair, and his was even revealed to be natural twice, namely in the episodes "Take This Ed and Shove It" (where he shows off his blue back hair towards Kevin, and indirectly, the Eds) and "No Speak Da Ed" (in which it displays him having blue hair in a flashback while he was still a youngling, further evidenced by an offical production design image◊ behind the scenes due to the aforementioned flashback being in sepia, or looking brownish).
• Proud Warrior Race Guy: This only occurs when The Old Country is concerned.
• Real Men Eat Meat: He's the most muscular kid on the block and tends to try and prove how much more of a man he can be whenever Kevin or the Eds egg him on, and it's rare to see him eat anything besides tons of meat. He's so obsessed with eating meats that stopping for a single day reduces him to Nothing but Skin and Bones.
• Red Herring: "If It Smells Like an Ed" makes it appear as if he's the one framing the Eds, when really, it was Jimmy.
• Sanity Slippage: In "Dueling Eds" when he gets very hurt after Eddy insults his cultures by throwing one of his fish balls on the fence.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: If you pay attention to what he's actually saying, his vocabulary is pretty good for someone his age. Especially as it's generally implied that English isn't his first Language.
• Super-Strength: His farm work is too easy for him. The only thing he visibly struggles with are things that are apparently beyond the ability of physically strong adult men, and even then only for a little bit.
• Third-Person Person: He often refers to himself in third person.
• Totally Radical: He often tries to adopt American slang and it sounds very odd coming out of his mouth.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Meat. See Big Eater above. He bets off eating it in "All Eds Are Off".
• Trauma Button: Anything related to wolves sends him into a violent, flashback-riddled rage.
• Tsundere: Although he's generally temperamental, Rolf's more qualifiable as a Type B, primarily because of his normally honorable nature.
• Unstoppable Rage: You do not want to mess with the son of a shepherd. Ever.
• Verbal Tic: Adds "Yes?" to the end of his sentences at times, even if he's not asking a question.
• Vocal Evolution: He had a much thicker Scandinavian-like accent in the first two seasons, which was toned down when he got hammier.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Gets this treatment after he tries "sacrificing" Nazz to a rampaging Ed in "The Day The Ed Stood Still". Nazz gave him a black eye.
• What the Hell Is That Accent?: His accent doesn't sound like any particular foreign dialect.
• Wouldn't Hit a Girl:
  • As seen in Urban Ed where Sarah beats him up and he doesn't fight back.
  • Nazz also attacks him in "Little Ed Blue", and he doesn't fight back.
  • Averted only once in "One of those Ed" when he attacks Sarah to get a quarter stuck on the sidewalk.
• Younger Than They Look: Due to his height, strength and premature body hair, Rolf looks like a teenager or maybe even a young grown-up, despite being around 13 years of age. Heck, one episode showed him with a five o' clock shadow. It's still implied on a few occasions that he's the oldest kid in the cul-de-sac.

Sarah

I'm telling mom!!!

Ed's bossy and spoiled little sister. She frequently bullies her older brother into doing her bidding through either blackmail ("I'm telling Mom!"), emotional manipulation, or threats of violence. Also has a small crush on Edd, although she rarely demonstrates this.

---

• Always a Bigger Fish:
  • Though she seldom hesitates to beat up the other characters, even she is scared of the Kanker Sisters and is always completely at their mercy when they encounter each other.
  • While she's usually abusive towards Ed, on the rare occasions he actually stands up to her, she gets cowed by him, showcasing that he's stronger than her. The biggest example being "Little Ed Blue" where an uncharacteristically grumpy Ed yells back at her, scaring her enough to comply to his demand to leave their house.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: To Ed. While Ed cares for Sarah, he's also terrified of her because of Sarah's terrible temper and tattletale tendencies. He even called her "rotten to the core cherished one" (in "Ed in a Halfshell") and "depraved sibling" (in "Is There an Ed in the House?"). Worse, Ed cannot retaliate against her abuse; as mentioned above, even after she beats him up, she'll always find a way to make Ed out to be the bad guy.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: She shows this towards Ed at times, of note in "Honor Thy Ed", "Hand Me Down Ed" (although it was the boomerang's effect) and the end of the movie.
• Arch-Enemy: The second most prominent one to Eddy behind Kevin, disrupting his scams or beating him up at every turn. Eddy also dislikes how she treats Ed despite the latter's unwavering love for her.
• Ax-Crazy: Not to Eddy's Brother's levels, but responding to your brother's idiocy by kicking the snot out of him is not what any mentally stable person would do.
• Berserk Button: Really, what doesn't ignite Sarah's fuse?
  • Touching her belongings is only the first example. In the first episode, she gets angry when she believe her doll was stolen. In another, she gets angry at the Eds for touching her racket and thrashes them for doing so.
  • Sarah also gets violently defensive whenever Jimmy gets teased or bullied.
• Big Sister Bully: Inverted with little sister Sarah bullying big brother Ed. Granted it's implied she only gets away with it because of Ed's docile treatment. The one time this changes, she cowers before him.
• Big Sister Instinct: She's very protective of Jimmy in a way that she isn't towards her real brother. Messing with him when Sarah is around is a very bad idea. She may be a Spoiled Brat, but this is arguably one of her redeeming qualities.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Implied towards adults. She does a very bad job hiding her true colors to the other kids. Either that, or she does not bother hiding it from the kids.
• Blackmail: Sarah's usual trump card is to threaten to tattle on Ed to their mother.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: In the episode "One + One = Ed", we have this dialogue of Sarah borrowing Kevin's catchphrase.
  Kevin: "What are you doing?"
  The Eds: "Uh...nothing."
  Kevin: "Right. Except for being–"
  Sarah: "Dorks?"
  Kevin: [impressed] "Yeah."
• Bratty Half-Pint: She's a bratty kid, being very spoiled and temperamental.
• Bully Hunter: Though Sarah can be a bully herself, if you screw with Jimmy while she's around, she will make you pay. Jimmy even exploits this at times. A good example is in the episode "Ed In A Halfshell" when he lies to Sarah about how the Eds forced him to eat dirt all day.
• The Bully: Even taking the above into consideration, Sarah's one nasty piece of work. Aside from what's mentioned above in Big Brother Bully, she pounds on Ed's friends (and occasionally the others except Jimmy) on a daily basis and is generally rude and shrill.
• Cain and Abel: The Cain to Ed's Abel. Sarah is always antagonistic towards her brother (more so than everyone else). A mild example, since Ed doesn't hate his sister and they would probably get along if Sarah was nicer (see "Hand Me Down Ed"). She even references Cain's dialogue from the Old Testament in "Mirror, Mirror on the Ed" when Rolf came looking for big, strong Ed to help him mash up some berries asking Sarah for Ed, leading to this exchange:
  Sarah: WHAT AM I? HIS KEEPER?!
  Rolf: Yes.
  Sarah: Backyard.
• Character Catchphrase:
  • She frequently shouts for her brother this way: ED!!!
  • "I'm telling mom!"
  • She will scream "JIMMY!" if he gets hurt.
  • "C'mon, Jimmy!"
• Comedic Underwear Exposure: In "One Of Those Eds", when she tries getting a quarter that's stuck to the sidewalk, Eddy yells, "Sarah, I can see your uuuundies!" Leading her to stomp off in embarrassment.
• Cool Big Sis: Despite seemingly being around the same age, she shares a brotherly-sister relationship with Jimmy, playing with him in a way that a big sister would with her little brother.
• Control Freak: Sarah is overbearing and controlling, especially with Ed.
• Creepy Child: She's psychotic, manipulative and easily agitated by others (especially her brother and his friends) and will often go on a violent rampage against anyone who annoys her or who bothers her best friend Jimmy.
• Cute and Psycho: She goes full-blown Ax-Crazy at times, and she's still a little girl.
• Cute Bruiser: She apparently has Ed's genes for strength, as she has been shown to have the strength to carry a car with no effort at all. She's cute on occasion, especially if playing with Jimmy.
• Cute, but Cacophonic: A little girl with a screeching, whiny voice.
• Dark Action Girl: Sarah tends to play an antagonist role and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
• Depraved Dwarf: Even though she's much shorter than her older brother Ed, she's a lot more menacing than he is, especially when she's very angry. She even torments him for no reason, other than dominance.
• Dirty Coward: It's obvious she only picks on her brother Ed because he's a Gentle Giant who won't fight back. On the rare instances he does stand up for himself, she easily cowers into submission.
• Ear Ache: In the movie the Kankers, in an example of Enemy Mine, stop fighting over Jimmy (who they called Dutch) and attack Sarah after learning what the fate of the Eds was going to be. Marie and May pinned Sarah down while Lee drenched her finger in slobber and gave her a disgusting wet willy. To add ultimate insult to injury they cackled through the whole thing as Jimmy watched.
• Enfante Terrible: She's downright evil at times for a little girl.
• Enraged by Idiocy: Unfortunately, she is related to the biggest idiot of the Cul-de-Sac and this makes her almost always angry. That said, her rage is downright scary even by the standards of this trope.
• Entitled Bitch: Her attitude towards her brother. She also even explicitly said "It's my way or the highway!"
• Establishing Character Moment: In the show's first ever episode, "The Ed-touchables", Sarah's first scene is her throwing a huge temper off-screen to the point the whole house shakes. Then, she barges into Ed's room, yells at Ed, and later, she jumps on Ed and his friends and continues to yell at them, and says she'll get really angry if she doesn't find her doll.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She's a hateful Enfant Terrible but genuinely cares for Jimmy.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Although she was enjoying it at first, even she realizes how wrong Eddy's Brother beating him up is when he uses Eddy to hammer down Edd.
• Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: She absolutely freaks when she loses one of her earrings in "High-Heeled Ed".
• Evil Redhead: She enjoys beating up the whole main trio and is downright abusive/manipulative towards Ed.
• Fatal Flaw: Wrath. Seriously, this girl always gets angry.
• Fiery Redhead: She's a redheaded girl known for being easily provoked and screaming a lot.
• Foil: She's this to Jimmy, being the aggressive, manipulative, and psychotic Enfant Terrible to his sensitive, delicate, meek, and Prone to Tears.
• Genius Bruiser: Sarah's strength is big enough that she is able to beat down the older kids with ease. But she is also highly capable of manipulating others either to their own demise, or to her and Jimmy's own advantages, though her brother and his friends are pretty much the only ones who fall victim to the first point. She's also oftentimes the only kid who sees through the Eds' scams (such as by identifying her poorly-disguised brother).
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Sarah loves doing tea parties and other girly things with Jimmy, her room is pink, she keeps a diary and her prized possessions are her 'dollies'. But she's also a violent and out-of-control little brat. Her older brother is terrified of her and she is able to beat up all the male characters.
• Glass Cannon: Implied anytime a kid actually manages to hit her back. She cowered before Ed the moment he talked to her in a threatening tone and yelled back at her when he was in a bad mood. (Though given Ed can uproot houses, she had good reason to be afraid.)
• Hair-Trigger Temper: BIG TIME. She has a short temper and freaks out all the time. Jimmy even exploits this in "If It Smells Like an Ed." He steals Sarah's paintbrush and expected Sarah to get angry and blame Ed. It worked.
• Heel Realization: Implied at the end of the movie upon witnessing the beating Eddy took from his brother.
• Hot-Blooded: Especially when she's angry.
• Hypocrite:
  • She hates it when someone bullies her or Jimmy, but she has no problems with bullying others in how she wishes.
  • She kicks Ed out of their house (she even locks him out of his own room) in "Knock Knock Who's Ed", kicks Ed out of their backyard in "Stiff Upper Ed", but when a pissed off Ed does the same in "Little Ed Blue"... "ED! You can't kick me out! I live here too!" However, she's very quick to comply to leave when Ed yells back at her.
  • On that note, the reason for kicking out Ed in the former episode was that because she had Jimmy as a guest... except Ed has guests in the form of Edd and Eddy too, which gives her no reason for her actions.
• Hypocritical Humor: She calls Eddy "fish face", yet her face looks identical to a fish.
• Jabba Table Manners: Voraciously eats ice cream in "Stop, Look and Ed" and chugs gravy in "All Eds Are Off". Presumably she picked it up from her brother.
• Jerkass: Especially to Ed and Eddy. The only person she's nice to is Jimmy (and Nazz, most of the time), but that doesn't cover that she acts stuck-up and obnoxious towards everyone else. Her negative energy towards others is so bad that Rolf refers to her as "she who gives migraines."
• Jerkass Has a Point: A lot of the time her perpetual anger at Ed is unjustified, or at the very least, disproportionate, but there are occasions where she is within her rights to be angry (Eddy stealing her diary, Ed spending her money on jawbreakers in "Brother, Can You Spare An Ed", Ed beating Jimmy to a pulp without provocation and stealing his candy in the Halloween special, and her room getting trashed several times over the series, for a start). She is also right in telling Ed he can't keep a bunch of farm animals in the house in "Who's Minding The Ed?", even if she went about it in her typically obnoxious way.
• Jerkass Realization: Subtlety implied in the finale, after she witnessed how Eddy's brother abusive treatment towards Eddy, it causes her to see no differently than how she abused Ed.
• Jerkass to One: While she is unpleasant to others with the exception of Jimmy and Nazz, she mistreats Ed and Eddy more than the others. She is also horrible to Jonny every time she interacts with him, and she treats him almost as badly as she treats the Eds.
• Karma Houdini: She seldom gets any comeuppance for terrorizing her brother and his friends.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: After many seasons of getting way with her bullying, she finally gets hers in the movie. There are also spaced episodes things end badly for her, in "Sir Ed-a-lot" for example, the Eds get the last laugh on her and "Little Ed Blue" when Ed, who's in a bad mood due to having a pebble in his shoe, frightens her by yelling back at her.
• Kick the Morality Pet: In the episode "Truth or Ed", Jimmy tries to console Sarah, but she ends up injuring Jimmy, albeit accidentally.
• Kids Are Cruel: Sarah is incredibly mean, blackmailing, manipulating, threatening so as to get her way, etc.
• Lack of Empathy:
  • Towards Ed, especially. She never shows any sign of remorse for the verbal and physical abuse she heaps up on him.
  • She really doesn't like Eddy, on top of all her usual moments in show, she's also the only one visibly amused when Eddy's Brother starts laying into him, something that shocked and disgusted even Kevin and her friend Jimmy in the movie. She draws the line once Edd gets involved, though.
• Large Ham: She can be pretty damn hammy at times, especially when she yells at Ed.
• Leitmotif: Sarah gets a piano like jingle sometimes when she appears on screen.
• Like Brother and Sister: Despite being a terrible sister to Ed, she has this relationship with Jimmy, bonding with him over their shared hobbies.
• Little Girls Kick Shins: Subverted. Sarah goes for the face.
• Little Miss Badass: Despite being a young girl she's extremely strong and able to beat up everyone on the show.
• Little Miss Snarker: Not at first, but she becomes snarkier by season 3.
• Living Emotional Crutch: To Jimmy. When she goes after Double D in "An Ed Too Many", Jimmy is really depressed when she's not around. This makes sense when you consider that when Sarah's not there, Jimmy tends to get injured and bullied far more.
• Loving Bully: She does have a crush on Double D and is still hinted after "An Ed Too Many" ("For Your Ed Only", "Is There an Ed in the House?", "Ed or Tails", "May I Have This Ed?", "High-Heeled Ed", "For the Ed, by the Ed"), though it doesn't save him from a thrashing. At the end of "For Your Ed Only", she writes in the diary that her mother says that if she shows any mercy, people will be walking over her.
• Manipulative Bitch: Best example is the episode "Run Ed Run", though she uses it elsewhere too. Jimmy calls her "sly as a fox!" thanks to Sarah's ability to outwit people.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl to Jimmy's Feminine Boy. Sarah is aggressive, strong, and violent while Jimmy is weak, sensitive, and delicate. Played With, considering Sarah has plenty of feminine interests she shares with Jimmy.
• Meaningful Name: Sarah means "princess" in Hebrew, and considering she's The Favorite and spoiled rotten...
• Miles Gloriosus: Being a Pintsized Powerhouse and a Little Sister Bully, she's good at dishing out abuse, but not taking it herself. The moment her big brother stopped being docile Extreme Doormat, she decided to keep her distance, while the Kankers quickly reduced her to quivering jelly.
• Mood-Swinger: In regards to Double D, she's definitely this. She can go from getting ready to beat the snot out of him, to giggle in his presence, to kick his ass, in less than a minute. This is especially evident in "Is There an Ed in The House?".
• Ms. Imagination: Whenever she's not being a psychotic bitch, she's usually seen engaging in make-believe games with Jimmy.
• Mugging the Monster: Subverted with Sarah towards Ed. She constantly treats Ed like garbage, knowing he has super strength, but it's simply because Ed won't fight back against her and the fact that they both have (a somewhat antics-driven form of) super strength. This is played straight in "Little Ed Blue," when Sarah realizes that Ed is even more powerful than her when she gets angry after yelling at him, so she wisely stops provoking him.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Like her brother, She has no muscles but she's still very strong.
• The Napoleon: She's one of the shortest characters in the show, being much shorter than Eddy in terms of physical height. Yet, in comparison, she's a lot more temperamental than he is, which is supported by the fact that she herself is a Spoiled Brat.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Dishes this out frequently to the Eds.
• No Indoor Voice: Seriously, she's always screaming, unless she's around Jimmy.
• Not Now, Kiddo: Does this in regards to Jimmy's dream in "The Eds Are Coming".
• Odd Friendship: Downplayed in regards to Nazz; they bond for a logical reason, namely over being the girls of the group, but despite this, Sarah is a Bratty Half-Pint and Enfant Terrible while Nazz is a sweet Girl Next Door.
• Parental Substitute: While their relationship is definitely more brotherly-sister, she sometimes treats Jimmy like a son of hers, reading him bedtime stories and nurturing him.
• Pass the Popcorn: She and Jimmy were the only kids unharmed by the Noodle Incident in the movie, but they tagged along separately after the other kids to see Ed, Edd and Eddy get their just desserts. Ironically, they got theirs when the Kanker sisters kidnap them halfway through.
• Pet the Dog: Despite being an all-around Jerkass, Sarah genuinely cares about her best friend Jimmy (and Nazz, for the most part) and treats him very well. While she usually can't stand Ed or Eddy, she has a soft spot for Double D. That aside, she's also done the following acts of kindness:
  • In "Honor Thy Ed", she screams for help when she thinks Ed (though she still calls him an idiot...) and the others are being attacked.
  • "Who Let the Ed In?" is probably the only episode where she interacts with Ed in a nice way, when he introduces her to his Imaginary Friend Jib. Even Kevin was surprisingly polite in that scene.
  • She helps build the heart for friendship day in "If It Smells Like An Ed".
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: She wears a pink shirt while Jimmy wears a blue one.
• Pink Means Feminine: She wears a pink vest, although she is not all that feminine. In one episode when it was school picture day, she's forced into a ridiculously girly, poofy dress and complains it's giving her a rash.
• Pintsized Powerhouse: Able to curb stomp people who are bigger than her.
• Platonic Life-Partners: She and Jimmy are really close friends, but nothing more than that.
• Precocious Crush: She develops a crush on Double D in "An Ed Too Many". It still carries on in the later episodes, but despite that, she has no problem beating him up alongside the Eds.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Jimmy's Blue. She's more brash and aggressive than the sensitive Jimmy.
• Secret Diary: In which she writes about Edd. Curiously, she also does a flip-animation of Eddy as well...
• Selective Enforcement: Tends to be more merciful to certain kids. While the Eds and Jonny have earned countless beatings for minor slights, Kevin has almost never suffered her wrath, despite mocking her and even bullying Jimmy in front of her.
• Slasher Smile: Pulls these off when about to dish out a beat-down.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: She's on the receiving end of this from Ed in "Little Ed Blue" when he shouts at her to back off, scaring her good.
  Sarah: Ed! You listen to me, mister! You can't kick me out! I LIVE HERE TOO!!
  Ed: SO MOVE!!
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She has a thing for Double D, presumably because of his kindness and good nature.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Eddy devotes a lot of his time especially to riling her up. Sarah usually outsmarts him or delivers a violent retribution by the end.
• Spoiled Brat: She practically defines this trope. Granted, it's implied her mother favors girls.
• Stalker with a Crush: To Double D in "An Ed Too Many", but in a toned-down way.
• The Stool Pigeon: Every time she threatens Ed that she will "tell mom" over menial deeds Ed commits.
• Strong as They Need to Be: Sarah can throw a car without problems, but other times she's overwhelmed by relatively mundane methods, like Double D gluing her hands to the floor in 'Cleanliness is next to Edness', and the Kankers are easily able to pin her in the Movie and in "Run for your Ed".
• Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Strong Girl to Jimmy's Smart Guy. Sarah often uses her strength to protect Jimmy. While Sarah also can be manipulative, Jimmy proves to be an extremely cunning mastermind, especially in "If It Smells Like An Ed".
• Super-Strength: She can throw a car without any trouble at all! Formed from the show's slapstick nature or not, it must run in the family.
• Super-Strong Child: She's one of the youngest characters but still, though somewhat in a comically dramatic sense, extremely strong.
• Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: An inversion with her and Nazz. Sarah is a Bratty Half-Pint and one of the most violent characters while Nazz is a Nice Girl and one of the least violent characters.
• Tiny Tyrannical Girl: One of the smallest members of the cast and easily the most violent.
• Token Evil Teammate:
  • While the other cul-de-sac kids are mostly portrayed as defensive or even sympathetic characters (yes, even Kevin) that have to put up with the Eds' antics, Sarah is just an abusive, violent brat with almost no redeeming qualities (aside from her friendship with Jimmy). She does however show signs of sibling love towards Ed when he is in genuine danger, such as the haunted house episode, or the movie.
  • In the movie, she is the only one smiling when Eddy's brother beats his little brother up, only realizing how wrong the whole thing is when he hurts Edd using Eddy as a weapon.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Nazz's Girly Girl. But when it comes to the Kankers, she's a Girly Girl. Nazz is a Girl Next Door and Dumb Blonde, while Sarah is a Cute Bruiser of a little girl who regularly acts aggressive. However, the Kankers' default stalkerish, insincere attitude towards the Eds outnumbers Sarah's otherwise girly personality and interests.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Sarah starts to treat the Eds as her friends after hearing Eddy's confession. She even gives her older brother a hug.
• Toxic Friend Influence: Sometimes. When paired with Sarah, Jimmy acts smug and can be a bit of an asshole, aware his Pint-Sized Powerhouse best friend leaves him thoroughly protected. In the event that Sarah is somehow incapacitated or outright defeated, Jimmy is quick to flee.
• Tsundere:
  • You will very rarely see the dere side, but it's there (which makes her a defintive Type A tsundere). She usually shows her dere side only to Jimmy, although she is shown to be good friends with Nazz. Well, most of the time.
  • To Edd. The crush she has on him is still hinted at after "One Ed Too Many", but she gets mad at him like she does at the rest of the kids.
  Sarah: Dear Diary, my brother and that stupid Eddy got what they deserved today. Double D looked so innocent, but you know what they say; give those cute ones an inch and they'll take a mile.
• Undying Loyalty: To Jimmy. Even when the other kids are jerks to Jimmy, you can find Sarah not joining in and getting angry with anyone who mistreats Jimmy.
• Ungrateful Bitch: No matter how many times he tried to protect her, Sarah will never love her brother back. Until the movie, at least (there ARE hints Sarah does care about Ed, she just hides it).
• Unrequited Love Switcheroo: In the first episode, Double D seems to have a crush on her but she's just not interested. Yet later that season, this is reversed of her becoming a Stalker with a Crush and Double D scared she won't leave him alone. She stops stalking him by the end of the episode, but her crush on him remains and is hinted in later seasons.
• Unwillingly Girly Tomboy: Implied. Her mother sometimes makes her dress in girly clothing. This is shown in "Smile For the Ed," when she complains about the dress she is wearing giving her a rash. Her room is also pink, and her non girly-related things are hidden in her trunk.
• Vocal Dissonance: For someone who's implied to be in their pre-teens and attends middle school, Sarah sure has a high-pitched, angry little girl-esque voice. Not that it doesn't fit her personality, though.
• You Are What You Hate: She's quite a bully towards Ed, but she hates it when people try to bully her, and she especially hates people bullying her friend Jimmy.
