Line 31:
* [[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. Johnny, for example, spends a chunk of the movie with a bear trap on his head.
* [[Both Sides Have a Point]]: Downplayed. While Edd is mostly in the right due to the quicksand scene,for calling out Eddy for screwing things up and generally being a horrible person and friend, Eddy brings a legitimate point in that Edd ''did'' collaborate in the scheme and that [[Holier Than Thou|he tends to deflect the blame onto others to make himself more righteous]]. Thankfully, they make up after this.
* [[Break the Cutie]]/[[Break the Haughty|Haughty]]: Every character gets this, but [[Broken Bird|Eddy]] deserves special mention. [[Tear Jerker|Sniff...]]
* [[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]].
Line 38:
{{quote|'''Nazz''': Dude, Eddy's Brother is a real jerk.}}
* [[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.
* [[Cerebus Retcon]]: '''Holy shit'''.
* [[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.
Line 92 ⟶ 93:
** [[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 during the series. 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 he loves tormenting children, all with no repercussions whatsoever. Until the end of the movie, that is, who gets a well-deserved comeuppance for his actions.
** 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.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Eddy pulling the quicksand prank on Edd, [[Rage Breaking Point|which proves to be the last straw for him]].
Line 110 ⟶ 111:
* [[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]]: [[Extreme Doormat|Edd]] has been putting up with [[Jerkass|Eddy]]'s bullshit for the entirety of the series. After he and [[Too Dumb to Live|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.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: Lots, given [[The Movie]] is partially a [[Deconstruction]] of the series itself.
** Unlike with the original series, the kids retain their injuries throughout the movie.
** The movie deconstructs when their scams go awry, with the Cul-De-Sac being nearly ravaged and the kids howling out for the Eds' blood.
** Eddy is a frequent victim of this trope. His [[With Friends Like These...|horrible behavior]] towards his two best friends [[Rage Breaking Point|catches]] [[The Dog Bites Back|up]] [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|to him]]; his constant failures in fitting in [[Despair Event Horizon|did not do wonders to his already fragile sanity]]; and most damning of all, Eddy's behavior is the result of [[Freudian Excuse|years of horrible abuse by his brother]] which, combined with the aforementioned failures, [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|has left him with crippling self-hate he tries desperately to compensate]].
** No, Edd, trying to reason with a [[The Sociopath|sadistic thug]] much older and stronger than you with just words isn't going to work out [[Curb Stomp Battle|at all]]. Still getting points for trying to defend your best friend, though.
* [[Road Movie]]: Duh.
* [[The Runaway]]: The three Eds are forced to flee from their hometown after all the mess their latest scam caused.
Line 118 ⟶ 124:
'''Ed''': Aw, c'mon, Eddy, have a heart!
'''Edd''': Courage, courage, Eddward.}}
** In a twist, those three things that each other need are the key to finallybeing befinally 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.
* [[Thicker Than Water]]: Deconstructed, as seen in [[Irony]] above. Ultimately subverted at the end, when Eddy admits his brother's a lost cause and chooses his two best friends instead.
* [[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.
* [[Traumatic Haircut]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with Nazz's.
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: '''Everyone''' gets put through the wringer in this movie. ''Especially'' Eddy.
* [[Tsunshun]]: Eddy, [[Up to Eleven|to an horrifying degree]].
* [[The Un Reveal]]: Edd's hat.
