* [[All for Nothing]]: The movie reveals [[Broken Bird|Eddy]]'s [[Schemer|actions]] and [[Jerkass Facade|personality]] were all done to [["Well Done, Son" Guy|get his brother's love and affection]], as well as [[I Just Want to Have Friends|to have friends]]. His attempts led him to become [[0% Approval Rating|extremely hated by the kids]], [[Humiliation Conga|suffer constant humiliations]], and nearly losing [[True Companions|the only true friends he's ever had]]. What makes it this trope is that his brother is an [[Big Brother Bully|abusive]] [[Domestic Abuser|bastard]] unworthy of any loyalty, making his efforts utterly ''pointless''.

* [[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.

* [[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 [[From Bad to Worse|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.

* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]]: This is part of the reason why [[Beware the Nice Ones|Edd]] doesn't blow up at [[Kindhearted Simpleton|Ed]] despite him participating in Eddy's infamous quicksand prank. Apart from knowing he's too naive to understand the seriousness of the situation, [[Kindhearted Simpleton|Ed]] has been acting like a kind and loyal friend to him, whereas [[Jerkass|Eddy]] has done nothing but to treat him like shit. He lets Eddy get the brunt of it, whereas the most Ed gets is a [[Death Glare]].

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Edd and Nazz. Edd snaps at Eddy and Ed for their quicksand prank 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.

* [[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.

* [[Character Development]]: This trope is the [[Chekhov's Gun]] for the movie. After spending the entire series as largely [[Static Character|Static Characters]], the Eds have to evolve as people and get over their main vices to not only save themselves and their friendship, but also to [[Earn Your Happy Ending|earn their happy ending]].

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Eddy's brother. He's responsible for Eddy's entire character of being a [[Greed|greedy]], [[Narcissist|narcissistic]] [[Jerkass]], what with the way he ''[[Domestic Abuse|brutally]]'' [[Domestic Abuse|abuses]] Eddy in one of the most serious forms of Slapstick in the entire series.

* [[False Friend]]: Edd suspects this is the case with Eddy for most of the movie. It appears to be confirmed when Eddy (and Ed) pulls a tasteless joke on him, stating he would rather face the angry mob of kids than spending more time with a poor excuse for a friend. Ultimately averted, however, when Eddy cries and apologizes for his behavior, getting him back and becoming friends again.

* [[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 [[Big Bad|Eddy's Brother]] [[Knight of Cerebus|shows up]] and [[From Bad to Worse|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.

* [[From Bad to Worse]]: The entire movie is this for the Eds, and it's not until the end when they ''[[Earn Your Happy Ending|finally]]'' catch a break. The kids don't fare much better either.

** Eddy wasn't a [[Karma Houdini]], [[Laser-Guided Karma|not by a long shot]], but still kept doing scams and pranks and acting like a [[Jerkass]] towards his two best friends Ed and Double D (who suffered a lot because of ''him'') like it was no big deal. Here, his actions have very serious consequences, with his latest scam destroying the entire town, the kids wanting to ''kill'' him, and Edd snapping ''epically'' at him and trying to leave. It took a tearful apology for him to make him stay.

* [[Tragic Dream]]: Eddy's [[Freudian Excuse|whole motivation]] is to [["Well Done, Son" Guy|gain his brother's respect]] and [[I Just Want to Have Friends|be accepted by the community]]. The former is played [[Tear Jerker|tragically]] straight, as his brother is a complete [[The Sociopath|sociopath]] who has done nothing but treat him like shit throughout most of his life. Thankfully, the latter is subverted, as his [[It's All My Fault|admission of all his mistakes]] is what ''finally'' gets him accepted by the other kids.
** Even better: while he didn't get his brother's approval, he has [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Ed and Edd]] by his side, [[True Companions|who are leagues more worthy of being called his brothers than his older brother ever was]].
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Ed [[Gentle Giant|of]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|all]] [[Kindhearted Simpleton|people]] runs into this in the climax of the film. After witnessing [[True Companions|his two best friends]] being [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beaten up horribly]] by [[Big Brother Bully|Eddy's Brother]], he gets ''unusually'' [[OOC Is Serious Business|calm and silent]] while showing a [[Death Glare]]. Then [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he removes the bolt of the steel door Eddy was clinging onto, turning him into a one-man slingshot and slam the door into Eddy's Brother's face, knocking the bastard out]]. This is the only time ''in the entire series'' he fully intended to hurt someone.
