YMMV / Ed Edd N Eddy S 4 E 16 Sorry Wrong Ed

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Double D's actions in this episode. Some say he might have gotten crazy after the phone was gotten rid of and felt that he was going delusional to believe just because the phone wasn't present in his and the other two's view that the phone couldn't be the cause of Eddy's mishaps. There's also the theory that Double D being a callous jerk in this episode is actually part of the phone's curse, as it not only causes whoever dug it up to attract said curses, but also makes even the victim's most caring friends unfeeling for their painful predicaments.
• Base-Breaking Character: Double D. Some felt he was too uncaring in Eddy’s plight and saw his outbursts towards Eddy as an example of him being out of character. Others, meanwhile, felt Double D was on point with past episodes and claimed that said outbursts were justified as Eddy was shown to keep egging on the curse even after he got rid of the phone.
• Broken Base: Though not on the same level as "If It Smells Like An Ed" or "Your Ed Here", this remains one of the more controversial episodes. Did it take the Sadist Show premise too far by tormenting Eddy for no reason, or was it still an enjoyable romp on point with the rest of the series? Some think that Eddy did deserve his suffering and the reason was simple: he tricked Rolf and stupidly tries to give the phone back to him rather then bury it.
• Critical Backlash: This episode is noticeably infamous amongst fans and tends to get ranked as one of the show's worst, criticizing Eddy’s nonstop torment and Edd’s questionable characterization. It gets so much hate that many fans who did enjoy it don’t see what’s so different here compared to past episodes. In fact, one review even notes that most of the episodes criticisms are easily explained and justified through the story. It suggests that Edd has suffered some sort of Sanity Slippage after getting increasingly frustrated with Eddy "kicking the beehive".
• Jerkass Woobie: Although he betrayed Rolf's trust, glued the phone to Jonny's oversized head in a fit of insanity and brags a little near the end about being "curse-free", Eddy is still treated with no sympathy by the other characters for getting hurt and his reason for initially not believing the phone was cursed was understandable.
• Never Live It Down: Along with him getting Ed and Eddy in trouble for their bad grades, many fans have not been able to let go of Double D's Lack of Empathy towards Eddy being cursed and hurt by the phone despite the fact that while he's not without his flaws, Double D's a Nice Guy most of the time.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: Sure we could say that Eddy being cursed by the telephone was his own fault due to not heeding Rolf's warning, but in all honesty, it would be rather difficult to take someone like Rolf seriously since he is often known to perform rather eccentric traditions and says the most cryptic phrases ever. Plus, Rolf, though warning the Eds of the curse, never gave out an explanation of the telephone's curse and how it affected him in his experiences. So Eddy disregarding Rolf's warning isn't unreasonable, to say the least.
