Line 17:
Both are based on the Author's real life.
* [[Kids Are Cruel]] in both series.
** [[Sadist Show]] much?
* Sarah is a younger, more hateful Shelley Marsh.
* Ed is an inverse of Stan Marsh. (Ed is the [[Cloudcuckoolander]], Stan is the [[Only Sane Man]])
** Both are tormented by their sisters
* Eddy is Eric Cartman {{spoiler|if the [[Jerkass Facade|jerkass status was fake.]]}}
** {{spoiler|Both had to put up with their older brother's crap. In Cartman's case, Scott Tenorman. Interesting to note that it's Cartman that's the [[Complete Monster]] instead of Eddy.}}
Line 26:
** Both Edd and Kenny have something hidden.
* Kevin is the closest thing to Craig.
* Jimmy is...Butters? ([[Ambiguously Gay]])
== Johnny grows up to be [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac|Nny]] ==
The craziness, the imaginary friends, the giant head… It can't be a coincidence.
* I believe you
Line 37:
* The main character has been confirmed by the [[Word of God]] to be named Eddie.
** If that's supposed to [[Jossed|Joss]] this, remember that Edd could be short for Eddie.
*** Actually, it's short for Eddward. Though, it could be Eddy with a different spelling for it.
* Ed is never that angry and even if he was, he'd never hurt his best friend. Ever. The main character acts very much like Double D, and the Crazy *** was very similar to Ed...up to the rage scene.
** Then there's the fact that the crazy guy has a gap and the short guy doesn't. Double DD had the gap, not Ed. Besides I really doubt Edd would ever forget Ed since we see them in the future as old men living in the cul-de-sac and Edd is clearly not paranoid schizophrenic.
* For all we know, that took place in a "what-if"/parallel universe, where something happened to the Eds that got them seperated. But yea, Edd could've became paranoid to the point of memory-loss.
** And he changed his name from whatever memory he had left, notice that he was walking on the streets alone by himself and looking at parents with their children.
== Kevin became a star football player in high school, screwed up his life real bad, and ended up marrying the slutty, lazy Lee Kanker. ==
Line 48:
== Eddy is the reincarnation/alternate universe counterpart of [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]]. ==
They're both the [[Butt Monkey]] of their respective universes, even at the times when they're not doing anything particularly bad. They also both never seem to get what they want, no matter how close they get. When they do, it's either a rare case of [[Throw the Dog a Bone]], or the much more common [[Yank the Dog's Chain]] (Charlie: Kicking the football, Eddy: Jawbreakers.)
* And the main hint would be the shirts.
* That would explained why we never see the adults (sans Eddy's Brother)
== Kevin and Nazz are close friends ==
Line 68:
* From what I've heard on the fansites, a plausible idea is that Edd's hair is covered in hairpins that his parents force him to wear to make his hair 'organized'. After all, he did take a hairpin from under his hat in 'Will Work For Ed'. And a metallic head would certainly make Ed say "Cool".
* Maybe he has [[Bishounen]] hair.
** Maybe he's a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]], but doesn't want kids thinking he grayed, like, ''really'' early.
* In the movie, Ed asks "Does it hurt, Double D?" when his hat is removed, which just makes things even more confusing. And in this particular instance, Edd is not very embarrassed by his lack of hat, and instead acts as if Ed and Eddy are overreacting to whatever is under there.
** Here, I'd probably assume that he's too annoyed and tired to care.
Line 76:
== Edd has a tattoo. ==
* Hence why Ed asks "Does it hurt?" when he sees Edd hatless in the movie.
** That actually makes some sense. Edd got a tattoo in rebellion to his parents and they force him to wear a hat to cover it up because they don't want people believe they let their son have a tattoo.
* alt. DD was tired of being the prodigal son, destined to do great things and in the process went far off the deep end and got a tattoo of something extremely unerasebly derogatorily [http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/97370474/16364872 gross]. Then in his shame he came back to intelligence harder than ever.
== Johnny is autistic. ==
Line 95:
They watch videos instead of DVD's, do their homework on typewriters, listen to records/cassettes, have video cameras the size of shoe boxes, only one computer was ever seen in the entire series and it was a very primitive one, Kevin used to have a mullet...need I go on?
* The creator did say that he wanted the show to invoke a timeless feel.
* Well, Rolf was probably the only one with a typewriter, as he's...Rolf.
* I think I saw a modern computer in ''Cool Hand Ed''.
* Further proof. In the movie Double D comments on an ad being from ten years ago. When they visit the location that the ad featured, a calendar is dated 1978.
** ''Over'' ten years.
*** Then the show takes place in the 90s.
* There's a "Peach Creek Diner 2000 Best Eater" cup in the movie, Rolf makes a comment about the late nineties and in one episode we see a store clearly show something about it being around since 1999 (1998?).
== ''Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy'' and ''The Brothers Grunt'' take place in the same universe. ==
Line 107:
** Well I can actually see those cartoons taking place in the same universe since they'd go along with each very good. But while we're at it, let's say that Beavis And Butthead also takes place in the Ed, Edd n' Eddy universe as well since they had a cameo appearance in The Brothers Grunt.
*** [[King of the Hill]], Bevis and Buthead, and [[Idiocracy]], a ''live action movie,'' then?
**** Why couldn't [[The Simpsons]] and Futurama take place in the same universe? They're a thousand years apart, but that just makes it easier. Groening and the other writers don't have to worry about any inconsistencies between the two because they're so far apart, because they can just blame them on the fact that it's the future.
== The events in 1+ 1 = Ed were '''all''' just a dream by someone. ==
Line 137:
He keeps the hairpins under his hat because they're useful, not because he has any hair. The hat stays on his head so tightly because it's squeezed over the squishy masses of flesh covering his scalp, and Ed has been shown to think gross stuff is cool before.
== The show is a caraciture of the Beat literary movement ==
Rolf is Jack Kerouac, since both came to English as a second language (Keruoac first spoke French Canadian); also, as Rolf is generally out of the kids' cultural loop, so did Kerouac diverge from the rest of the Beat movement. Ed is Neal Cassady, since if you look at a picture of Neal, Ed's hair is like a cartoon of it. Plus Neal was referred to as "the Great Holy Goof," so individual he was, and Ed is just that. Edd is Allen Ginsberg, the intrepid one. Eddy's brother is the the enlightenment the Beats were looking for. The Kanker sisters are the reading public, so taken with the Beats when they first came out. The movie underscores the Beats' drive at all costs to get enlightenment (it's even like On the Road), and when the Kankers drag Eddy's brother back into the trailer near the end, that's the masses finally getting, by a dumbing down, some semblance of what the Beats tried, and partially succeeded, at getting whole.
== Edd has a permanent case of hat-hair. ==
Line 171:
* That's what I've always thought too. It would certainly explain why B-Horror movie loving Ed finds it 'cool'. Also, I recall once watching a different show on Cartoon Network and during the credits, an announcer came on advertising Ed, Edd, N Eddy (is there a name for this practice?). The voice was apparently trying to get Edd to take his hat off for school picture day and continually badgered him until Edd presumably did so. At that point, the announcer shakily told him to put it back on.
* I may or may not have something to support this theory. In one of the Flash games available on Cartoon Network's site, DD has a victory dance where he whirls around and throws his hat in the air. While it's quick and hard to spot, if you look closely, there are a series of lines on his head that might be hair, scars, exposed brain, anything, really. If it ''is'' hair, the mystery of why he's embarrassed is solved: he's as bald as [[The Simpsons|Homer.]]
** However, that game wasn't made by the company that worked on the show, thus not cannon.
* Given his absurd intelligence for a boy his age I always assumed it was concealing a rather large brain. Eddy would be very disturbed by seeing a giant veiny thing on a guys head and that is something that Ed would find cool.
* This would also explain why Ed asked, "Does it hurt?" An exposed brain bursting through your skull sounds like it could be pretty painful...
== All the Kids in the Cul-de-Sac are Potential Eva Pilots ==
The Cul-de-Sac is a facility created by NERV to find candidates for Eva pilots. The kids are unaware they're being watched. Many of the kids were orphaned after the Second Impact, explaining the lack of parents. (Quite possibly the some parents were scientists in Antarctica; most likely Edd's parents.) The prime candidates are Sarah, Johnny, Ed, and Rolf.
** That's...[[Crazy Awesome|amazing]]. I demand a fic!
== Danny Antonucci was lying about Plank not being alive ==
I mean, come on! The number of coincidences necessary for Plank to be fake just breaks the [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]]. For example, why would Johnny (while simultaneously imagining to be Plank) special order a steamed lobster with butter, but not special order for himself? How did Plank (as just a hunk of wood) leave Johnny and end up in a speeding wagon? It just makes no sense.
* Well, he did lie about the blond hair thing....
Line 203:
* That's confirmed due to the Billy And Mandy - KND crossover.
** The being in the same universe, that is. Not Edd being a KND.
*** Billy (?) calls the Eds, showing they're in the same universe. The KND appear in that episode, thus being in the same universe as BNM.
== Edd has a scar under his hat. ==
Line 279:
*** ...Fic please?
*** Seconded.
** Wait, so Ed Edd n' Eddy is [[Angel Beats!]]?
** Good News Everyone! There already is a fanfic on just this idea. [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100810210638/creepypasta/images/d/d5/Ed_Edd_and_Eddy.png Ed Edd and Eddy fic/creepypasta]
== The boomerang wasn't really a boomerang, but rather [[Phineas and Ferb|one of Doof's many -inators]] ==
He made a personality reversal-inator to flipped Perry's personality to join his side. However it backfired horribly, leading to various events that lead it to the cul-de-sac.
== The boomerang was created by [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Discord]] ==
Line 292:
== Eddy's brother tortured/physically abused and raped/sexually abused him ==
...He was at least 18 when he left and Eddy 2 - 4.
* 50% confirmed. (The former yes. The later.... possible, to say the least)
** The latter would explained why a 12 year old boy is [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|implied to have a porn addiction]], showers with his clothes on, and freaks out when someone strips, especially when feet are involved. (I remember reading somewhere that one of the signs of sexual abuse in children has a knowledge/won't shut up about/have an interest in sex)
*** That would also explain why he freaks out whenever someone touches him.
** Both, or either, could explain his bravado facade too.
Line 309:
== The ''Hanky Panky Hulaboo'' is a [[Subversion]] or even a [[Take That]] at [[Shipping]] and [[Crack Pairing]] ==
Here we have an episode where randomly formed crack pairings abound and [[Almighty Janitor|Rolf]] clears the mess up. Pairings are not the objective of the canon and the producers just played with the fans' obssession for pairing everyone with everyone.
== Ed's mother is - or at least was - an alcoholic. ==
Line 321:
== The Kanker Sisters aren't really in love with the Eds. ==
"Nagged to Ed" notwithstanding. After this episode, the Kankers decided that the Eds were nothing special, but also realized how much fun there was to be had in tormenting them.
It's mainly a dominance thing. As stated several times in the series, the Kankers believe men are weaker than women and should cater to them. Perhaps this is due to their mother's attitudes (alluded to in "Ed Overboard", I believe?), but in any case, there's no denying the Kankers are in total control here, and they love it.
That's why the Kankers were so repulsed by the Eds in "A Twist of Ed." If the girls truly had crushes on the Eds, they would have welcomed their advances from the start- but they don't. They run, because they are no longer in control. Only when Eddy reveals his fear do the Kankers call the Eds' bluff.
* Alternately, they're actually a bunch of closeted [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]] [[Shipper on Deck|Shippers On Deck]] who thought the three Eds looked cute together, so they decided to abused them to scare them off the opposite sex and may fall in with one another. <ref> Oh come ''on'', the thing they chanted at the start of "Nagged To Ed" can't ''purely'' be [[Accidental Innuendo]].</ref>
* Possible, but that doesn't explain Marie's jealousy in ''May I Have This Ed?'' when Double D gets to dance with Nazz.
** She's either the only exception to it, has [[Becoming the Mask|Become The Mask]], is that good of an actress that she can fake jealously, is actually outrage due to [[Het Is Ew]], but ends up appearing to be jealously, or is jealous over [[Les Yay|the oth]][[Even the Girls Want Her|er one]].
* The feelings the Kankers have for the Eds throughout the series seem to be more lust than love, other than in the movie, in which they do show concern for the boys.
== [[Samus Is a Girl|Plank's a girl]] ==
And only Jonny knows this. Plank kept her true gender a secret because she felt that most other woman in the cul-de-sac were temperamental nut-jobs that either [[You Need to Get Laid|needed to get laid]] or have a serious spanking for their petty actions.
Jonny agreed to keep it a secret, partly because she's quite the [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative ***]] around him, partly because he didn't want people teasing them being [[Cargo Ship|a couple]], when in reality they're [[Just Friends]]. Mainly the former.
== One or more characters smokes dope ==
Line 340:
== Peach Creek is located somewhere in the Southern US ==
This is probably the most tame WMG on this page, but while rewatching [[The Movie|Big Picture Show]], it does make some sense. Over the course of the movie, we see peach tree groves, a swamp, and the Eds' journey ends at a boardwalk amusement park by the sea, so it should at least be somewhere near the coast.
== Rolf is from [[Phineas and Ferb|Gimelschtump]] ==
Well,it would be an odd enough country for Rolf to hail from. I mean, one of his folk dances involves brutally beating up all involved. It might be that that Country is just full of sadists. Both Rolf and Doofenshmirtz have similar accents, minus Rolf using third-person; which might be due to being younger and less used to English.
Line 348:
Its completely plausible. He's got a squeaky voice, very hygienic, more mature than others his age, and is very shy. Edd could be short for Eddina, an embarrassing name, and thus shortened it to Edd. The nickname "Double D" is also a pretty good indicator. It could also be chastising her for being a late bloomer in an ironic way. Edd simply decided that instead of living like a shy girl that never goes outside, to instead hide her identity and just be one of the guys. The fact that other girls are attracted to "him" could mean they are confused lesbians/bisexuals or that Edd's disguise is just that convincing. Edd herself might be confused herself as she is at a very important age in terms of physical and psychological development.
* When they meet Eddy's brother, he asks "Hey why does your girlfriend have a sock on her head?" when referring to Double D.
** Well, the Eddina part is jossed; it's been stated to be Eddward.
** Can't be. Edd's taken off his shirt before, he's male.
*** They're children. Girls that age don't develop ''those'' yet, is a late bloomer, or, [[Ironic Nickname|ironically,]] flat chested.
*** Still, it's pretty much Jossed. Nazz is (presumably) the same age and Sarah is younger. Both have been seen wearing a bikini and a one-piece swimsuit, respectively. Edd? He's wearing swimming trunks.
** Maybe he hasn't developed breasts yet? He's only around twelve.
*** No, it's jossed. In the third episode the Eds went to a swimming party where they were wearing Eddy's brother's swimming trunks. The trunks snapped off and the three Eds jumped into the pool naked. Ignoring [[Ho Hay]] claims, the other Eds would have seen his junk and would've at least shown some shock. Well, maybe they are just good friends and the other Eds are hiding it. That's what your thinking right? Well, Ed would definitely have reacted and probably let it slip that Double D was a girl. He's that absentminded. Eddy would never be able to keep that secret. He couldn't even keep Edd's middle name, Marion, a secret for more than a minute. Besides, Marie would have felt him up enough to figure out a secret like that and she definitely wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut either for disgust, arousal, or just plain cruelty.
== Edd is a [[Transsexualism]] ==
The FTM kind.
== The "wigs" at the end of Quick Shot Ed represent the Eds' natural hair colors ==
Line 364:
Besides being a mooch for money, Eddy might have a hidden double life as a violent yet still-petty crook. He actually has a pair of Brass Knuckles which he uses out of sight to harass and intimidate Rolf, Jimmy, and Sarah. At times out of camera, he physically bullies Ed when the more peaceful and resolved youth are not around. Sarah, Jimmy, and Rolf have a secretive fear of Eddy. Except Kevin is a major exception, Kevin is actually a protagonist who has zero issues with Ed and Edd. But he obviously has zero tolerance to the sight of Eddy with them, he wants to have a probation put onto Eddy for what he did to Jimmy. If you are wondering how Jimmy gets the out of place bandages from, Eddy is most likely responsible. I personally believe Eddy does this because he knows there is much more strength in mind with his brother- Who is never around for pretty much a lot of his life.
** Confirmed in "Every Which Way But Ed." It was a scam gone awry when Jimmy ate a bowling pin that looked like a pastry horn.
== The Jawbreakers are Karma charms. ==
Line 377:
== Plank was the result of homesickness. ==
Johnny never was a suburban boy, he was always a light wooded area cabin boy. In fact the last name spills this very fact clearly. "2x4" implies that Johnny was born in such an environment. Plank's existence actually comes from the intact emotion of Johnny because he had failed to entirely cope with moving on. The wood it comes from was a perfect log taken away from the cabin.
* Plank's parents could've been the rest of the log.
Line 442:
* Edd is a redhead, Eddy is a [[Dumb Blonde|blond]], and Ed is a brunette.
** Actually, Ed is a [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110412231449/ed/images/thumb/f/f0/Wbz2XKJ1.png/300px-Wbz2XKJ1.png redhead]. Eddy has been shown to have either blue, black, or brown hair. Edd...[[Base Breaker|Don't ask]].
** This would be an excellent theory, but Ed has [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100720152054/ed/images/9/98/Luck6.jpg blue-green eyes] in ''The Luck of the Ed''. It could be the glass though.
== In-universe, all pieces of wood are sentient. ==
