"Eddy: Everyone loves us! We're finally in, baby! Edd: And it only took 130 episodes, 4 specials, and a movie, Eddy. Ed: ''Let's sing a song!"

Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show is the Grand Finale Movie to Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, one of Cartoon Network's longest-running shows.

This time, the Ed's latest money-making scheme goes greatly awry. How much? The neighborhood is destroyed, and the kids are hunting them down. Desperately, they leave and try to find Eddy's elusive big brother, so they'll be safe. Pursuing the kids, they're the Kankers, who won't let their "boyfriends" being hurt by them.

"Nazz: Dude, Eddy's Brother is a real jerk."
 * A Lighter Shade of Black: Everybody in the cast at worst ends as Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Eddy's Brother is a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk, beating up his own brother for kicks.
 * Amusing Injuries: Surprinsingly averted. Unlike most of the other injuries sustained during the show, they don't go away in this movie, which is a bit disturbing.
 * Anti-Villain: Kankers this time are a Type I - they seem concerned about the Eds for once and try to help them (see Pet the Dog below). Eddy is revealed to be a Type II.
 * Armor-Piercing Slap: Nazz does this to Kevin in a scene where they are at the campfire.
 * Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other: The Eds, but especially Edd and Eddy.
 * Ed and Sarah, although the scene was in the background.
 * Audience? What Audience?: Jonny at the end of the movie. Which is weird, considering his Companion Cube Plank has Medium Awareness.
 * Bait the Dog: When he first appears, Eddy's Brother seems to be everything Eddy said: The Ace who is kind and willing to protect him. Then all goes to hell when he asks to play "Uncle".
 * Be Yourself: This is the lesson Eddy learns over the course of the movie, realizing that acting like a Jerkass like his brother only ruined his life, and has to be himself to be finally accepted.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Edd and Nazz. Edd snaps at Eddy and Ed for their quicksand pranks and decides to abandon them, until Eddy breaks down crying and apologizing, with which Edd is moved by and rejoins them. Nazz destroys Kevin's bike because Kevin cared more about it than her.
 * Beware the Silly Ones: Ed and Jonny. Ed curbstomps Eddy's Brother with a steel door after seeing him brutalizing Eddy and Edd; and Jonny defeats all three Eds with little to no effort, and becomes a villain.
 * Big Bad: Though it's his only appearance, Eddy's Brother is the closest thing to one when we find out what he's been doing to Eddy all this time.
 * Greater Scope Villain: For the rest of the series beforehand, given how he's mentioned all the time but never appears until now.
 * Black and Gray Morality/The not-so-Good, The not-so-Bad, The Anti-Villains, and The Monster: The parties involved are, respectively, a trio of con men running away to avoid being lynched for their latest scam, the kids who want to beat up/kill the aforementioned con men, three bullies/molesters trying to stop the kids and a sociopath beating his own younger brother for kicks.
 * Body Horror: Eddy's brother playing "uncle" with Eddy involves him twisting Eddy's leg to the point of extreme pain. Cartoon Physics or not, that is extremely painful to watch.
 * The injuries the Eds inflicted on the townskids are comically over-the-top, but there's something disconcerting about the fact that, unlike most cartoon injuries, they don't comically snap-back when they're done being relevant—so Johnny, for example, spends a chunk of the movie with a bear trap on his head.
 * Break the Cutie/Haughty: Every character gets this, but Eddy deserves special mention.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: It'd hardly be an Ed, Edd n Eddy movie without it, but in order to lend some weight to the proceedings they're used sparingly—at the beginning, the Eds find a glass case in Eddy's brother's room marked "In Case of Movie Break Glass"; and at the end Edd gives the exact number of episodes it took to get accepted by the other cul-de-sac residents. There's also the instance of Jonny finding out that he has no time left in the movie to enact his revenge in The Stinger.
 * Broken Tears: All three Eds in the quicksand scene. Also Eddy after his brother's defeat, coupled with Manly Tears and Tears of Remorse.
 * Captain Obvious: When Eddy's Brother starts throwing Eddy against his trailer, enough to make it tip over.

"Kevin: No way. Rolf: Could this be true? Lee: Get in line, girls!"
 * Car Chase:A variant, in that Ed's the one doing the "driving" by smashing his feet through the floor of the car, grabbing the sides and running full tilt.
 * Chekhov's Gunman: Eddy's brother. He's responsible for Eddy's entire character of being a greedy, narcissistic Jerkass, what with the way he brutally abuses Eddy in one of the most serious forms of Slapstick in the entire series.
 * Contrived Coincidence: The whole climax.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Ed knocks Eddy's Bro out with one hit by a door.
 * Darker and Edgier: To the main series.
 * Death Glare/Slasher Smile: HOLY SHIT.
 * Deconstruction: Basically everything in this series (The characters, Amusing Injuries, the nature of Eddy's scams...) is portrayed in a more complex and realistic light.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Eddy's brother beats up Edd, with Eddy, just because Edd stood up to him.
 * Domestic Abuse: Eddy at the hands of his brother, which is taken very seriously.
 * Drama Bomb Finale: With the revelation of what Eddy's brother really is.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending: Oh, yes. After "130 episodes, four specials and a movie!" of physical, mental and social humiliation, the series ends with the Eds befriending the cul-de-sac and finally getting jawbreakers.
 * Easily Forgiven: In a way. The Eds are not only redeemed, but they instantly become friends with the other cul-de-sac kids and get defended by them when Jonny shows up.
 * Everyone Has Standards: Everyone is horrified at Eddy's Brother beating up Eddy.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: ...and that "everyone" includes Kevin, Sarah and the Kankers.
 * Face Heel Turn: Jonny after being beaten by the kids. The movie was over though.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: It's heavily implied Ed considers losing his beloved best friends Edd and Eddy this. He breaks down at the sight of them fighting, and outright pleads the kids to beat him up rather than Eddy.
 * First Law of Tragicomedies: In a way. The movie started as a wacky road comedy, but it becomes more dark and serious (The quicksand scene, for example), while still retaining some humor inbetween. Then Eddy's Brother shows up and all goes to hell.
 * Foreshadowing: Even though he's running for his life, Eddy takes his sweet time looking around his brother's old room before he finally gets the nerve to enter. If the abuse at his brother's hands was anywhere near as bad as it's implied to be, it makes sense that his room alone would be terrifying in itself.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The "sextant" joke.
 * Who knows what exactly the Kankers plan to give Eddy's brother (some "mouth-to-mouth") after his defeat.
 * Plus when everyone arrives in front of his trailer.

"Eddy's Brother: Do Mom and Dad know you're here?... Eddy: As if. Eddy's Brother: Does anyone know you're here? Eddy: Only these chumps who chased us here."
 * Glass Cannon: Eddy's Brother, far stronger that Eddy, but knocked out by one hit by a door. Word of God states this is because he was used to dishing out abuse, but not on the receiving end at all.
 * Go Through Me: Ed does this in the scene right after Eddy admits his mistakes, demanding to take him instead. Luckily, the kids weren't trying to hurt them anymore.
 * Grievous Harm with a Body: Eddy's Brother clobbers Edd with Eddy.
 * Hate Sink: While most of the cast were fairly grey toned (throughout both the movie and the entire show itself), Eddy's brother seems to exist solely as a repugnant bully with no redeeming qualities to bring them all together in their contempt for him.
 * Have You Told Anyone Else?:

"Eddy: If only you had a brain, Ed! Ed: Aw, c'mon, Eddy, have a heart! Edd: Courage, courage, Eddward."
 * Heel Face Turn: Eddy. Implied with Sarah.
 * Heh Heh, You Said "X": Ed and Eddy's reaction to Edd saying "Sextant".
 * Hypocritical Heartwarming: The Kankers and the Kids towards Eddy.
 * Jerkass: Many, but are divided in:
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kevin, Sarah and the Kankers become this in the end, while Eddy is revealed to have a...
 * Jerkass Facade: Eddy cries about how he acted like a jerk to impress the kids and his older brother.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Eddy's Brother seems intent on playing Good Samaritan to Eddy, but then starts abusing him "for old times sake".
 * Karma Houdini Warranty: Everyone (Kevin and Sarah especially) finally get their just desserts for their actions. In a weird way, this actually leads to a Heel Face Turn.
 * It turns out that Eddy's Brother has been torturing Eddy for years and that he loves tormenting littler children, and has been getting away with it. Until the end of the movie, that is, who gets a well-deserved comeuppance for his actions.
 * Kick the Dog: Eddy pulling the quicksand prank on Edd, which proves to be the last straw for him.
 * Knight of Cerebus: Eddy's brother. The bullying is played in a slapstick manner, but the way it is played makes it the most serious and hard to watch scene in the entire series.
 * Knight Templar: The kids, especially Jonny.
 * Let Me At Him: Lee to Eddy's Brother. Her sisters have to hold her back.
 * Living Emotional Crutch: The Eds are explicitly shown to be this in this movie. The three are shown breaking down when they're in danger (Edd) or abandoning the group (Ed and Eddy). Essentially, their friendship is what keeps them going on despite everyone's bullshit.
 * Never My Fault: One of the subplots revolves around Eddy and Edd arguing over whose fault it was that the scam went so horribly, but it's eventually subverted entirely, when Eddy tearfully admits to Edd that everything was HIS fault.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Thanks to Eddy's Brother's beating, Eddy reveals his Freudian Excuse and breaks his Jerkass Facade completely, earning his happy ending at last.
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Eddy gets one from his brother until Ed intervenes. Jonny also gets one from the kids after he attacks the Eds, who the kids became friends with.
 * Noodle Incident: The scam that destroyed the entire neighborhood.
 * Oh Crap: Double D gets one immediately after the reveal of Eddy's brother as a jerk, and then everyone else gets one when Eddy's brother uses Eddy to beat Double D. That "everybody" includes Ed, all of the Cul-De-Sac kids and the Kanker Sisters.
 * And before any of that, Eddy gives one when his brother asked him to play Uncle.
 * Pet the Dog: The Kankers capturing the kids to save the Eds from their wrath. Also, after Eddy's Brother beats up Eddy, they decide to let the Eds go and they give Eddy's Brother his just desserts.
 * The Power of Friendship/The Power of Love: They achieved their happy ending thanks to this. Ed and Edd face (And, in Ed's case, defeat) Eddy's Brother due to their strong friendship with Eddy, and Eddy realizes his own mistakes after almost losing them because of his actions.
 * Quicksand Sucks: A brutal subversion. Ed and Eddy pretended to drown in it as a joke. To say Edd was pissed is a huge Understatement.
 * Rage Breaking Point: Edd has been putting up with Eddy's bullshit for the entirety of the series. After he and Ed pull a tasteless prank on him, he epically snaps by magnificently calling him out of his actions, getting into a fight, and trying to leave him in that order.
 * Say My Name: After Edd gets beaten up by Eddy's brother, Ed and Marie both shout "Double D!" in shock.
 * Self-Deprecation: Ed calls the movie cheap after seeing that a peanut was behind the emergency break glass.
 * Shout-Out


 * In a twist, those three things that each other need are the key to finally be accepted by the other kids.
 * Smooch of Victory: Nazz gives one to Eddy after his brother's defeat.
 * The Sociopath: Eddy's Brother.
 * Status Quo Is God: Brilliantly destroyed at the ending.
 * Traumatic Haircut: Played for Laughs with Nazz's.
 * Tsunshun: Eddy, to an horrifying degree.
 * The Un Reveal: Edd's hat.
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: Eddy towards his brother. Tragically deconstructed in that Eddy wanted his approval by acting like a jerk and, as consequence, alienating everyone from him, including his two best friends. And when his brother proves to not give a damn about him, rendering his actions pointless, he breaks down completely.
 * With Friends Like These...: Deconstructed and Reconstructed later. Eddy has been treating both Ed and Edd like crap during most of the series, but in the movie, Edd actually snaps at him for this, culminating in him attempting to leave and causing the biggest rift the trio has been experienced. It brings a heartbreaking Heel Realization on Eddy, who tearfully apologizes for his behavior, and not only they become friends again, but also made the trio's friendship a lot stronger than before.
 * Wham Episode: And how. This movie basically changes the entire series with the Eds being actually chased by the kids in a scam Gone Horribly Wrong. And the less said about The Reveal at the end, the better.
 * What Happened To The Mouse?: How did Kankers react to the Eds becoming accepted by the cul-de-sac?
 * Did Rolf and Wilfred make up after the end of the movie?
 * Yank the Dog's Chain: Zig-Zagged. The Eds find Eddy's brother's house. Then the Kankers appear and one expects the standard "offscreen molestation" ending. Also, Kevin and the others free themselves. Then Eddy meets his brother and asks him for help, to which he agrees. Then he starts tormenting Eddy For the Evulz. Then Ed KO's him with a steel door. Then angry mob of kids charges at Eddy. Finally, he apologizes for his actions and earns his happy ending.
