Ed, Edd n' Eddy

While it is exagerrated, it was admitedly high order Disproportionate Retribution. The biggest complaint over the episode however is one prominant in many episodes in that he targets all three Eds for something Eddy done (he is amusingly even yelling at Edd for 'him' giving him the wedgie during his confession, it's like they're all considered one being). It's an annoyance but doesn't make it stand out that much, and at least Jimmy had a back catalogue of genuine abuse in previous episodes to warrant it (even if still mostly from just Eddy).

I remember they did another better handled Beware the Nice Ones with Jimmy, he teamed up with Rolf after Eddy committed a particularly cruel scam, and unlike the previous example, they targetted Eddy and only Eddy.

I think 'See No Ed' added some humanization in how the kids treat the Eds. We see from their perspective they come off as menaces who constantly bully or try to steal their money, or just generally make a nuisance of themselves when they are minding their own business, to the point Jimmy desperately wishes for them to leave him alone, while Kevin has it so deep set in his mindset that they are out to get him he becomes out and out paranoid.

Since they've become such a traumatic bane on their lives, in hindsight there is some excuse in how harshly they treat them, it's just it's still the problem that usually only one of them is spearheading it all, while the other two are unwilling drag alongs (or too stupid to know better).

I agree with Mud In You Ed, I prefer instances that the antagonist, no matter how harmless, brings all their abuse on themselves, and could get out of it any time if they just stopped being an ass. Even Chuck Jones, the king of Butt-Monkey villains, enforced this rule in his cartoons. It was also an episode where the other kids were being perfectly nice to the Eds until they screwed them over.

EDITED my opinion

I've seen Cat Dog, that was often outright painful to watch.

I think Ed, Edd N' Eddy was thriving on the idea that Kids Are Cruel, so it would make sense that the kids are often jerks or at least somewhat vindictive and hypocritical when they think they are in the right. I suppose it's one of the show's that works better if you appreciate a more cynical view of things.

It somewhat worked because, even most of the other cul-de-sac kids were pretty nasty to each other, so it was hardly just the Eds just being Designated Monkeys all the time. It did seem odd however how sometimes one of the kids actually paved the way for others getting away with things however. Kevin and Sarah were jerks for example, but rarely ever to each other. Kevin bullying Jimmy was of the few instances Sarah didn't blow her top, while Kevin was of the most tolerant of Sarah being...herself.

Jerks gravitate toward other jerks, perhaps?

It depresses me when people call shows like that "old." Especially when people from the generation that grew up with them call them old.

What is it then if it's not old? What's between new and old?

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

Looney Tunes is old. Superfriends is old.

Shows where the people who would've seen them as children aren't even 30 years old yet, I wouldn't call old. Not yet. When it's 20-25 years old, maybe, but it's not there yet. Soon. For now, I'd say "was on a while ago and isn't really on as much anymore and doesn't have any new episodes anymore," not all at once, but chopped up as the situation demands.

Everything is old...!

This whole discussion is outdated, but hey..I'll go for it. Does anyone remember the episode "Hand Me Down Ed" with the Boomerang that warped everyone's personality.?

I do. That was a weird one. Well, more so than the show usually is at least.

Reminded me of that Looney Tunes short "Bugs' Bonnets" where Bugs and Elmer constantly change personalities due to wearing hats. More than likely the episode was at least partially inspired by it.

The part that was an eye-opener was when Sarah got ahold of the boomerang and became soo nice. I hated how she turned mean again. Also, when Edd took off his clothes. That part was so funny

@ PSI Ed edd n eddy does have a lot of references to old shows too.

Wow this thread is old. I hope someone will want to write again! What I love to do is talk about the funny things they all say, especially Rolf. Just a few minutes ago I was watching, and he said 'Rolf has sympathy for the 2 headed ogre' LOLOL

I disliked that episode...the kids were way too cruel to Eddy.

Was that the pimple episode?

"X marks the Ed"

As the series went on, the kids were crueler to the Eds (thats why I think that Big picture shows ending made no sense)

Why, yes it is.

I've already mentioned my fave Rolf quote, but since I have the vid now:

LMFAOOOOOO my favorite quote is "Rolf will release his rage NOW!!!"

Ah, Rolf. A lot of the cartoon's humor came from how weird that guy was. Though Ed also qualified. Both had such hilarious moments.

The world doesn't end with you.

To me, I liked Rolf, Edd, and Ed the best.

Yes, I liked Edd a lot too. They all had their funny quirks, when I think about it. Though in Edd's case, I mostly liked the fact that he was nicer than most of the kids. Or at least tried to be.
