Eddy exclaimed making Edd sighed softly. I nodded and got out some disinfecting wipes and gave them to the three, Ed tried to eat it. Edd nodded thank you before washing his face ten fold and eddy just throw it away and went to his house to take a shower, fair enough.
Ten minutes had passed since Double Dee and Eddy had begun their journey back to the cul-de-sac. They had left the hustle and bustle of the business district, and were currently making their way down the much more suburb-like cross street that would eventually lead to the neighborhood they called home.
Within the last few months, the area within the vicinity of the Rethink Avenue cul-de-sac had received significantly more development. The construction site, which served as a host to a variety of the Ed's scams, including an appearance of the 'Mucky Boys', was now completely developed into it's own independent cul-de-sac, with it's street name being Haventhought Way. The houses constructed as part of Phase Two of the Peach Creek Estates project were much larger and more elaborate than the ones of phase one; that being said, the inhabitants tended to be more wealthy than the Rethink avenue residents, whose houses were designed to house the middle class bracket. Unfortunately, this development happened to be the location of the Statorowski residence. The proximity of her house to the Kankers provided even more of an opportunity for her to annoy the girls.
As the two boys passed the entrance to the Haventhought Way cul-de-sac, Eddy glanced at his cell phone to check the time.
'Five minutes to five-thirty,' said Eddy, 'Just in time!'
'Thank goodness,' said Double Dee, 'As you know, I hold punctuality in the highest regard, and I couldn't bear to be late for a family gathering, especially one in which mother and father are both present.'
'Hey,' said Eddy, 'What's that!?'
Eddy pointed his index finger towards the direction of the center of the cul-de-sac. As the boys passed the entrance to the lane, a large tower-like structure appeared in the distance. The device somewhat resembled a metallic version of gallows; it consisted of a tall structure made of scaffolding, not dissimilar from the mast of a tower crane, braced by large diagonal legs. At the top of the tower, a cross beam supported by a diagonal bracket spanned to the center of the cul-de-sac. At the end of the cross beam was a hook, attached to which was what seemed to be a pulley.
In addition to the large, load-bearing fixture installed in the middle of the cul-de-sac, the entire street appeared to be glowing with a brightness that seemed to be comparable to the sun. The light was of a multicolored hue, and seemed to overtake the cream colored glow of the street lights. Eddy and Double Dee shot each other perplexed glances, after which they quickly rounded the corner to investigate.
Both boys were completely taken a back as they laid eyes on their home street; while they were in school, the entire cul-de-sac had been transformed into a winter wonderland. All of the adults of the cul-de-sac had chipped in to hang what seemed like miles of multicolored lights across the length of the street. Elaborate displays had been constructed on each families lawn, each accented with multicolored flashing lights. Even Rolf's family had placed Christmas lights around the eaves of their house. In accordance with their traditions, the family had decorated the lawn with hand carved ornaments (which seemed to be decades old) depicting holiday customs of their old country, and of course the great Yeshmiyek.
In contrast to the ordinary peace and quiet that was characteristic of the cul-de-sac, on this particular night, the area was thriving just as much as the business district on a typical evening. In a truly rare instance, every single resident of the cul-de-sac, adult and juvenile, was outside participating in the festivities.
Ed's bubbly, blonde haired mother was currently assisting Jimmy's mother in placing the finishing touches on the light display adorning her lawn. Nearby, Johnny's father worked with Jimmy's father to inflate a large inflatable version of Saint Nick. Due to the men's mutual obsession with ice hockey, the figure donned an orange and black jersey, depicting a birds wing on it, as they were fans of Peach Creeks parent city's hockey team. The remaining mothers were working together in an assembly line-like manner to manufacture custom Christmas bows: Johnny and Nazz's mothers cut red fabric in sections from the roll, Eddy's mother folded them into the shape of a bow, Tabby and Double Dees mother secured pieces of holly to the folded sections, and Rolf's mother and Nana sewed them with their trusty sewing machine.
In the middle of the cul-de-sac, Rod and Mr. Van Bartonschmeer were working to complete the installation of the scaffolding. They were currently using wrenches to tighten the bolts holding the diagonal support bars to the base of the main tower. Due to Nazz's father being a city police officer, the two men conversed about the current state of city civil service benefits as they worked, and their dissatisfaction with the current mayors treatment of their unions. After the two men finished tightening the bolts, the joints were inspected by Eddy's father. Eddy's father worked as a rigger at a local shipyard, and was charged on a daily basis with inspecting such equipment for safety.
After giving Rod and Mr. Van Bartonschmeer his satisfactory approval, he turned his attention to the center of the cul-de-sac. Double Dees father, using his engineering knowledge, had constructed a large, cylindrical contraption. The device contained a basin in the bottom, designed to hold a large amount of fluid. On top of the basin was a pedestal, with adjustable screw clamps mounted radially around the outside wall. The apparatus seemed to be designed to hold a large object in a vertical position. Double Dee had definitely inherited his technical knowledge from his father, as the thin bespectacled man used protractors and t-squares to perform the final adjustments of his invention.
Sarah and Jimmy, being only nine years old, were very much thrilled with the transformation of the cul-de-sac. The two had just exited the front door of Ed's house and were staring in awe at the almost magical environment.
'Sarah!' yelled Jimmy in his high pitched voice, 'It's so beautiful, it's as if my dreams have come true. A magical beautiful winter wonderland, right in my own back yard!'
'Look, a bounce house!' yelled Sarah with a smile as she pointed towards the inflatable fixture, 'Come on Jimmy!'
Sarah grabbed Jimmy's hand in hers and led him towards the opening of the bounce house. The two children entered and began enjoying themselves, laughing as they bounced exuberantly.
Eddy and Double Dee, still stunned by the transformation of their cul-de-sac, had not said a word to each other. The two boys made their way down the street, admiring the decorations, at which point they noticed the rest of their peers, all standing together, within the vicinity of Johnny's house. Kevin and Rolf we're currently conversing happily on the street corner, with Kevin wearing a thick green hoodie, and Rolf wearing a yellow sweater and purple sherpa hat. Johnny also stood within the ranks of his peers, wearing his orange winter coat and purple beanie hat; his best friend Plank was cradled within his right hand as always.
However, as per usual, the two Ed's eyes were entirely focused on their Kanker girlfriends as they made their approach. Marie stood next to Nazz, conversing happily with a smile as she adjusted the blue earmuffs she had acquired to protect her ears from the cold. Lee once again donned her black designer button down coat, her long red hair was flowing in the wind as the bright lights from the Christmas display reflected off of her glasses. As usual, she retained her usual 'poker face,' as she conversed with the much more exuberant May, who was wearing a hat that matched the sky blue color of her hair bows.
Nazz was the first to take notice of the approaching Eds. The boys watched Nazz lean her head around Marie's, whose back was currently facing the boys position. Nazz mouthed the words 'here comes Double Dee', at which point Marie turned around with a smile on her face to immediately lock eyes with her nerdy boyfriend. She rejoined her sisters as the Ed's approached their position.
'Hi Oven Mitt!' said Marie as she wrapped her arms around a Double Dees neck and kissed him on the cheek, 'What have you been up to, you missed all of the fun!'
'My apologies Marie,' said Double Dee, 'Eddy and I lost track of time due to our unexpected procurement of a couple of jawbreakers from the candy store.'
Double Dee glanced around the cul-de-sac.
'My oh my,' said Double Dee, 'Just look at our beloved cul-de-sac, it's even more beautiful than the business district!'
'It's great!' said Marie, 'Apparently, our parents got together a couple of weeks ago, and they all chipped in to plan a community Christmas display!'
'They all took off work today and put it together.' said Lee, 'I gotta hand it to them, they did a bang up job with the decorations.'
'You said it babe.' said Eddy, 'It looks great.'
As the two oldest Kanker sisters conversed with their boyfriends, Mays face transformed from an expression of joy to an expression of sadness.
'May?' asked Double Dee, 'What's the matter, is something troubling you?'
'Don't mind her,' said Lee, 'She's just been worried about Ed all day. He's been leavin' right after school for the last couple of days not sayin' nothin and May is starting to think he doesn't like her anymore. I keep telling her Big Ed's nutzo over her and he's probably just Christmas shopping or somethin, but she keeps worrying.'
'It's not like him!' yelled May in her usual adenoidal, obnoxious voice. 'My Ed always wants to hang out with me, and he never keeps secrets. Every time I ask him if he wanted to get together after school, he'd say 'maybe later' or just awkwardly run away.'
Double Dee listened to May's story, and began to develop some concerns himself.
'I'll admit,' said Double Dee, 'That definitely does not fit Ed's character to just ignore someone and run away, especially someone as emotionally attached to him as you May.'
'Yeah.' said May, after which she sniffled, 'The last time we talked, he ran away again, but before he did he said I'd find out why he was running away tonight at 5:30!'
May pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, and literally shoved it into Double Dees face.
'Look, it's 5:35 and Ed still isn't here!' yelled May.
'5:30?' asked Double Dee, 'Interesting..myself and Eddy were both instructed to be back at the cul-de-sac by our parents for two completely different reasons. Eddy and I dismissed it as coincidence, but your statement that Ed had promised to explain himself to you at 5:30 on this day has incited reasonable doubt on my conclusion. Perhaps there is some overarching plan at work?'
'I don't know Sockhead,' said Eddy, ' The bigger question is why did my Dad set up that six ton load bearing fixture in the middle of the cul-de-sac. He's taken me to work with him to help sometimes over the past few months, and the only time we used that thing is when we need to lift full size shipping containers. What gives?'
The group stood in silence, pondering the various mysteries that stood before them for a few seconds, when suddenly their ears detected the sound of a powerful diesel engine in the distance. The sound grew in amplitude exponentially, at which point the group turned their attention towards the cross street. A beam of light shined on the road in front of the cul-de-sac, obviously emanating from the headlights of a vehicle, increasing in intensity as the volume of the engine increased.
Within seconds, the red tractor unit of a large semi truck came into view, and slowed to a stop at the entrance to the cul-de-sac. It was tandem axle, and it's chrome rims, mirror brackets and air cleaner gleamed under the lights from the houses lining the block. The yellow marker lights on top were shining bright, as the characteristic repetitive 'pinging' of the idling diesel engine sounded.
At that moment, the passenger side door to the cab opened. To everyone's surprise, Ed popped his head out of the door with a wide smile. He was wearing his typical outfit, complete with his oversized green coat, but for this occasion he had chosen to don a red and white Santa Claus hat. He proceeded to climb down to the ground, and shut the door to the truck. He then turned around toward the rest of the cul-de-sac, with a smile, after which the truck began to move forward, turning into the street opposite of the cul-de-sac to position the trailer for backing in.
All of the adolescents were quite surprised when they laid eyes on what the truck was hauling. On top of the long, 50 foot tandem wheeled flatbed trailer, was an extremely large specimen of a Douglas fir. The tree was around thirty feet long, and was strapped to the top of the flatbed with several yellow slings. The entire cul-de-sac watched as the truck began backing up towards the center of the cul-de-sac, emitting a repetitive 'beep' as many trucks do when in reverse gear, as Ed guided it using hand signals.
In no time, the truck had reached the center of the cul-de-sac, at which point the sound of the back-up alarm ceased. The sharp sound of air being depressurized filled the air, as the driver engaged the parking brake. At that point, the drivers side door opened, revealing Ed's father as the driver. He proceeded to climb down to the ground, and shut the door to his truck. He was a relatively tall man with a thin build. On his face was a short red beard, accenting the multitude of freckles that peppered the visible portion of his cheeks. His red hair was covered by a blue baseball cap, which advertised a logo for a famous semi truck manufacturer.
The man's boots had barely touched the ground before Sarah had taken notice of him. She quickly ran over to greet her father, her arms outstretched to deliver a hug. Ed's father happily greeted his daughter by picking her up and spinning her around a few times with a smile.
Ed walked towards his friends, his face adorned with a dopey smile, as he pointed towards the tree.
'I got a tree,' said Ed in his typical oafish voice, after which he giggled.
At this point, the reason behind the construction of the load bearing fixture and the holding basin were quite clear to all of the children of the cul-de-sac.
'Ed, this is wonderful!' said Double Dee, 'How brilliant, a Christmas tree for all the members of our cul-de-sac to mutually adore!'
Ed once again chimed in, going on a seemingly endless tirade as he excitedly explained the chain of events that led up to the tree delivery.
'We were talking about getting a Christmas tree for our house, and I said wouldn't it be cool if there was a great big tree outside for everyone to see. My dad said that the adults were planning to surprise us with a big Christmas display today, and then my Mom said 'why did you tell him that, it was supposed to be a surprise,' then my dad said, 'well now he knows so what's the big deal' then my mom said, 'the big deal is that you just ruined our children's holiday excitement,' then my dad said, 'C'mon Mia, Junior's got a good idea, so why don't we talk to the neighbors and all get a big tree.' and my Mom said 'Okay as long as you two don't tell Sarah or any of the other kids in the neighborhood and spoil the surprise.'
Ed paused to catch his breath, before delivering his last line.
'And now we have a tree!' said Ed.
'So let me get this straight Lumpy,' said Eddy, 'You came up with the idea for the tree?'
'Yep,' said Ed, 'I promised my Mom I'd keep it a secret, and I am really bad at keeping quiet so I avoided everyone while I was helping my dad pick out the tree and get it delivered. Sorry guys, no more disappearing Ed!'
Lee punched May in the arm.
'See!?' yelled Lee, 'I told ya there was an explanation for the way Ed was acting.'
May ignored Lee's punch and simply stared at Ed. The fact that Ed orchestrated such an amazing holiday display melted her inside, and accordingly tears continued to flow down her face, although now they were tears of happiness.
'Oh Ed!' yelled May as she darted forward, wrapped her arms around Ed, and inadvertently tackled him to the ground. Ed giggled as May laid on top of him, repetitively kissing him all over his face as she squeezed him tightly. Double Dee grabbed Marie's hand in his as he smiled at May's display of affection towards her boyfriend, after which they themselves shared a quick kiss.
Ed N Edd Eddy
Eddy attempted to place his arm around Lee's shoulder, but due to Lee's natural height and the boost provided by her high heels, Eddy was unable to comfortably achieve the desired result even by standing on his toes. He quickly opted to place his hand around her hip instead. Lee giggled, after which she leaned down and placed her lips on Eddy's for a few seconds. She pulled away and placed her arm around Eddy's shoulder, as she watched Ed and Mays display of affection with a smile.
Eddy's father glanced toward the boys standing on the sidewalk, raised his right hand index finger, and began swirling it in the air.
'Well boys, that's the 'mobilize to prepare for rigging' sign,' said Eddy, 'C'mon, let's put up a Christmas tree!'
Within seconds, all of the boys had climbed on top of the semi-trailer and worked with the adults to release all of the lashing straps securing the tree. Eddy's father used his rigging equipment to tie the hoist to the top of the tree, and began the process of rigging the tree to the vertical position for installation. As Double Dee and his father worked together to perform final vertical alignments of the tree's mounting base, Ed's father directed the bottom of the tree towards the center. After around thirty minutes, the tree was perfectly seated in it's base and Eddy's father climbed to the top of the scaffolding, to release the rigging gear.
The efforts were not complete just yet, as the tree still required decoration. For the next hour and a half, all of the adults and children of Rethink Avenue worked side-by-side to decorate the tree. Long strings of Christmas lights were hung, as well as large elaborate pieces of tinsel. Each family contributed ornaments they had purchased for the tree, specially designed in a larger size to match the tree.
The tree truly did exemplify the spirit of the cul-de-sac, as all of the different cultures were represented through the decorations. General pagan decorations depicting Santa Claus were supplemented by ornaments depicting Jesus Christ and the Nativity Scene, representing the Kanker families Catholic Faith. While Jimmy's father was a Christian, his mother was Jewish, thus Jimmy celebrated both holidays. Accordingly, to represent her faith, decorations depicting menorahs and dreidels hung from the tree. Various ornaments representing Kwanzaa also graced the trees branches, representing Jonny's mothers culture. Even Rolf's family was represented, with various ornaments depicting sausages and hams, octopus tentacles, and hand carved wooden ornaments of Yeshmiyek the troll.
Once the tree was completely decorated, Eddy and Ed's father disappeared into Eds backyard. They emerged moments later, carrying a large elaborately decorated Christmas star in their hands. Eddy's father hoisted the star to the top of the tree, climbed to the top of the scaffolding, and secured it in place, officially completing the process of decorating the tree.
The moment of truth had finally arrived. The entire cul-de-sac had gathered around the tree, each family unit standing amongst themselves, as Ed's father unraveled a long orange extension cord and carried it towards the tree. In one swift motion, he mated the male adapter attached to the tree lighting to the female adapter of the extension cord.
At that instant, the lights on the tree illuminated in various multicolored hues. The lights reflected off of the ornaments and tinsel, accentuating their beauty. The star at the top of the tree glowed brightly, as if it were the star of Bethlehem itself. The entire tree glowed so brightly, that it was visible from the business district. It was truly a magical sight.
Each family stood amongst themselves with smiles on their faces, in awe at the beauty of their work.
Eddy's father placed his arm around his wife, pulling her closer as he placed his arm on his sons shoulder.
Ed's father lifted Sarah onto his shoulders, while placing his arm around his wife, who leaned her head on his shoulder as she hugged her son tightly.
Double Dees mother placed her hand inside her husbands elbow as if she was being escorted, and placed her arm around her son's shoulder. All three family members were smiling, but at the same time holding back tears, as they were upset that their fourth member could not be here to experience this moment.
Jimmy's mother and father stood admiring the tree as well. His mother was displaying a joyous smile, as she tightly squeezed her little boy. Jimmy's father stood with a stern expression on his face, as the tough old school, sports loving 'manly man' was quite afraid to show emotion. Jimmy pulled away from his mother, and proceeded to wrap his arms around his fathers waist. Jimmy's father was quite shocked at Jimmy's display of affection towards him but, as different as they were, Jimmy was his son and he loved him. Reluctantly, Jimmy's father smiled, and slowly placed his arm around his sons shoulder.
The van Bartonschmeers were also mesmerized by the tree. Nazz's father held his wife's shoulder in his right arm, as he held Nazz is in his other hand all the while cradling a cigar in his mouth. Fortunately, the van Bartonschmeers were also joined by Nazz's older sister Julia, who had just completed her fall semester at college and had returned to Peach Creek to spend the holidays with her family.
This event was perhaps the most significant for the Kanker-Lonergan family. As with all of the other residents, Rod stood in front of the tree, holding his wife Tabby in a loving embrace, as they shared a smile. Standing in front of them were all three of their daughters sharing a hug as well, with smiles on their faces. This was the first Christmas that the family had spent together in over ten years, and it was the first that they had spent with individuals who they could consider friends. The entire family couldn't have been happier.

From top-left: Ed, Edd (Double D), Eddy, Sarah, Jimmy, Jonny 2x4 (holding Plank), Rolf, the Kanker Sisters (Marie, Lee, and May Kanker), Kevin, and Nazz
The Ed, Edd n Eddyanimated television series, consists of 135 stories, features an extensive cast of characters created by Danny Antonucci. The series takes place in the fictional town of Peach Creek. The number of characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy is fixed at twelve (thirteen if Plank, a board of wood who acts as one character's imaginary friend, is included).
The show revolves around three best friends (Ed, Edd, and Eddy), usually referred to as 'the Eds'. There is a secondary group of characters (Kevin, Rolf, Nazz, Jimmy, Sarah and Jonny), and three teenage girls known as 'the Kanker Sisters'. Most of the children live in the cul-de-sac, while the Kanker Sisters live in the nearby 'Park 'n' Flush' trailer park. Eddy's brother is a character mentioned throughout the series, mostly by Eddy, but is never seen until the movie Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show; He is the only fully seen adult in the series.
The series' characters have received awards and nominations at the 2002 Fancy Anvil Awards, a fictional award show broadcast on Cartoon Network. Antonucci stated the personalities of the Eds are based on personal traits of himself, and the activities of his two sons, and that the other characters are based on children he grew up with.

Creation
According to cartoonist and Ed, Edd n Eddy creator Danny Antonucci, he based the characters on real people in his life; the personalities of Ed, Edd, and Eddy are based on his own traits, and the activities of his two sons while the cul-de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were all based on children he grew up with.[1] Rolf is based on himself and his cousins, since he was part of an immigrant family, and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living, compared to those born in Canada.[2] Jimmy is based on one of his cousins, who spent most of his time playing with girls than boys and was rather feminine.[3] Jonny and Plank are inspired by one of Antonucci's childhood friends, a loner who spent most of his time outside with his blanket.[3] He stated that he believed it was important to add Plank, a board of wood, to the show, and that he 'thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own' and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do.[1] Some wanted Plank to be able to talk, smile and blink as if he was alive, but Antonucci insisted that it should be treated as a piece of wood, brought to life by Jonny's imagination.[3]
All the children have multicolored tongues; Antonucci said that the idea came after he saw his son and his friends with different-colored tongues because of eating different candy while he was working on a storyboard.[3] The characters went through a number of 'walking cycles', a process used to determine how each character should walk or run, turn around, blink, etc. before the crew came up with the final product.[3]
Protagonists
Eddy
Eddy (Tony Sampson) is the self-appointed leader of the Eds. He is arrogant, selfish, loud-mouthed, immature, greedy, and hot-tempered. He loves money, jawbreakers (which he likes to spend his ill-earned money on), dirty magazines (as hinted in 'Luck of the Ed'), his room, and Chunky Puffs. Eddy ordinarily comes up with the plans for scamming people, but they usually fail, much to his frustration. Eddy will often, especially in the early seasons, slack off by suntanning or drinking a soda while his fellow Eds do all the work. His prized possessions include his magazines, king-sized bed, and disco ball. He also has a Barry White album and is a fan of Tom Jones. Eddy is the shortest of the Eds and takes this very seriously, hating the thought of people calling him short, suggesting he may have a Napoleon complex. Eddy sometimes boasts about his older brother and uses this to his advantage to gain respect. Like Kevin, Eddy can be cruel and acerbic, with a tendency to tease his peers, but deep down, Eddy only wants to be liked by everyone.
Edd (Double D)
Edd (Samuel Vincent) is the smartest of the Eds and the most polite, mature, and considerate of the three. As a result, he is more socially accepted by the rest of the kids than Ed and Eddy, usually acting as a peacemaker or offering the rest of the kids advice. To differentiate his homophonic name from Ed and Eddy, he is referred to as Double-D. Edd has a high IQ and is top of the class in most subjects at school, though he is the physically weakest of the Eds and despises P.E. and other sporting activities. As the most creative of the trio, he is able to construct things like planes, rocket cars, and roller coasters with junk he comes across and enjoys doing so. He also is able to play pedal steel guitar, but does not like to do so often. He often speaks using complex words and struggles to speak normally in high anxiety situations. His clothing usually consists of an red/orange shirt, purple shorts, red socks, and cyan shoes. He sleeps in a footed onesie, and in the later seasons and the movie, he wears a tie when going to school. He more famously wears a black ski hat with two white lines on each side of it (which has led to Eddy nicknaming him 'Sockhead'). It is unknown what lies under Edd's hat; Ed and Eddy see Edd twice without his hat on. Whatever his hat hides, Edd is self-conscious about it; Eddy frequently blackmails Edd by threatening to reveal the contents of his hat. Edd is also self-conscious about a significant gap in his front teeth, thanks to Eddy poking fun at it. He is the only one of the trio to be an only child, and his parents leave sticky notes around his house as a means of communicating with him.
Like the other two Eds, Edd's personality is largely based upon series creator Danny Antonucci, who has said 'there's my Edd side, neurotic, analytical, must be organized. Also if Eddy and Ed (single D) were not around, Edd would be happy with his own company, something that works for me too.' Antonucci has also explained that the habit of Double Dee's parents to communicate with him through sticky notes was based on a habit of his own parents.[4]
Ed
Ed (Matt Hill) is the strong, airheaded, and usually quite random dogsbody of the group who has very short hair. He wears a red-and-white striped shirt, a green jacket with two white stripes on each sleeve and purple-blue jeans. His skin is yellow, unlike the other characters, and he is known to laugh a lot and is happy most of the time. Ed has amazing physical strength, which is humorously worked into many of the show's plots.[5] He has no chin and a prominent unibrow (which has led to the nicknames of 'Funnelhead' and 'Monobrow' by Eddy). His mind is a subculture grab-bag full of comics and monster movies,[5] which he often confuses with reality, and which leads him to speak in non sequiturs almost all the time. Ed (to the misfortune of many people) is utterly at the mercy of his tyrannical younger sister Sarah and is an easy target of her manipulations, with Sarah threatening to tell their mother if she does not get her way.
![Ed Edd N Eddy Poker Face Ed Edd N Eddy Poker Face](/uploads/1/2/5/1/125163527/871660546.jpg)
Ed is kindhearted, good-natured, and has a positive attitude towards almost everything and everyone, even to those who are not accommodating to him. He cares about the welfare of the other two Eds. He often sacrifices himself for his two best friends, the other cul-de-sac children, and even Sarah, for whom he cares deeply, though she treats him badly. He is absentminded and naive, making him the perfect candidate to help Eddy with his scams, as Ed hardly ever questions them. Even so, Ed never feels abused by Eddy.
Ed enjoys buttered toast, gravy, cereal (namely Chunky Puffs), pudding skin, chickens, comics and monster movies. Much to the dismay of mysophobic Edd, he has poor personal hygiene, even to the point of being terrified of soap and liking the smell of stink bombs and sweaty boots. Though the Eds were outcasts throughout the series, in the series' TV movie finale Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, the three become friends with all the cul-de-sac children; even Sarah starts treating Ed nicely.[6]
Creator Danny Antonucci explained Ed's inspiration saying, 'Ed is..me, following his own path and slightly dysfunctional, a daydreamer who while people are doing one thing, will be busy thinking of another.'[4] He also described Ed as 'slow, living in his own world and he really doesn't fit in with the rest of the crowd,'[7] and explained that it was hard to decide who would voice him.[8] Ed ended up being voiced by Matt Hill.[8]
Supporting characters
Jonny
Jonny, also known as Jonny 2x4 (David Paul Grove), is a loner and considered by his peers to be a nuisance.[5] Jonny is often made fun of for his big head (Eddy usually refers to him as 'Melonhead' or as a 'bald badger') and has a tendency of getting his head caught in branches when climbing trees. He talks a lot, and frequently gets on the other kids' nerves. He is rarely seen without his imaginary friend, a 2x4 wooden board with drawn-on eyes and a mouth, aptly named Plank.[5] Jonny seems innocent and gullible, and often forgives people no matter what they do. He does not seem to mind the antics of the Eds, and is often the most friendly out of all the cul-de-sac kids towards them. He is very protective of Plank, and will burst into acts of bravery or extreme aggression if Plank is stolen or harmed in some way. He does not seem to acknowledge that Plank is just an inanimate, silent, 2x4 piece of wood, and when asked for help with an imaginary friend, he claimed to have no clue what the Eds are talking about. He and Plank both have superhero alter egos (Captain Melonhead and Splinter the Wonderwood, respectively), which they assumed twice throughout the series; first in 'Robbin' Ed' to thwart Eddy's 'Thingamajig' scam and to fight Eddy's own one-time only alter ego, Professor Scam, and then in Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show to hunt down and get revenge on the Eds. After Big Picture Show, he and Plank become The Gourd and Timber the Dark Shard in order to take revenge on the entire cul-de-sac (although Plank reveals that there is no more time left in the movie at this point).
Jimmy
Jimmy (Keenan Christenson) is an insecure child, with a propensity to cry, and Sarah's best friend whom he is most often seen spending his time with.[5] Jimmy is highly accident-prone, often seen sporting bandages, casts, and braces (particularly headgear), and is considered the weakest kid in the cul-de-sac.[5] Though Jimmy has a gentle personality, he truly wishes to be strong and muscular, and many episodes demonstrate his desire for fame and stardom. He can be crafty when motivated, and had twice made scams that were very successful. Jimmy has shown how deeply attached he is to Sarah when someone tries to take her away from him. For most of the series, he wore a retainer to correct his teeth,[5] due to a bowling pin accident during one of Eddy's scams.
Sarah
Sarah (Janyse Jaud) is Ed's grouchy, abusive, spoiled, short-tempered, whiny, and extremely selfish younger sister who acts cute and kind to the Eds only when it suits her. She is commonly depicted with a disgruntled facial expression and treats her intimidated, trembling older brother, frightened by his sister's constant threats of tattling on him, with complete disdain. Imposing, Sarah frequently orders people (sometimes even those of higher rightful authority than her) around, and her desires often have to be met or else she will fling herself into a violent temper tantrum or threaten the person in question. Throughout the course of the series, Sarah has been shown to possess an infatuation with Edd, but still occasionally subjects him to abuse due to guilt by association with the other Eds.
Kevin
Kevin (Kathleen Barr) is a stereotypical jock.[5] He is cynical, sarcastic and can be cruel at times.[5] Kevin has a garage full of jawbreakers, due to the fact that his father works at a jawbreaker factory. He loves customizing his bike, skateboards, and snowboards. When not riding his trusty bike, he usually hangs out with Rolf and Nazz in the Lane. He hates the Eds to the point of paranoia, but his animosity towards them is mostly geared towards Eddy; the two are mortal enemies and often go entirely out of their way to humiliate or physically harm each other at the first opportunity (with Eddy referring to Kevin as 'Shovel Chin'). He tends to call the Eds 'dorks' and has a habit of coming up with words merged with 'dork' to suit the situation. Like Edd, Kevin normally wears a hat and rarely takes it off; in the episode 'Boys Will be Eds', Kevin takes off his hat for the first time and is shown to be bald, though a flashback episode reveals that he used to have long hair. In some episodes, he is shown to have a great fear of Eddy's brother; Eddy knows this and frequently uses his brother as leverage against Kevin.
Rolf
Rolf (Peter Kelamis) is a quirky, odd, and usually happy immigrant[5] of an undetermined origin and culture with odd customs (which he displays frequently, and it often involves a wide variety of meat) and has a thick accent to match.[5] Rolf is the son of a shepherd, a fact in which he takes great pride. He works on his parents' small farm within the cul-de-sac, and leads a scouting group called the 'Urban Rangers,' which includes Jimmy, Plank, and Jonny. Rolf usually refers to himself in third person. His faithful farm animals are three pigs (one of which is named Wilfred), a goat named Victor, at least six chickens (two named Bridget and Gertrude), a cow named Beatrice, and five sheep. He generally appears to be friendly with the Eds (whom he calls the 'Ed boys') unless they make a fool out of him or offend him in some way, in which case he is not afraid to use brute force. He seems to be very muscular, but this is usually only shown when he is angry. With his unusual customs and strange food, Rolf confuses the rest of the kids to no end, and his inability to comprehend American culture and customs is a running gag in the series.
Nazz
Nazz Van Bartonschmeer (Tabitha St. Germain; Jenn Forgie; Erin Fitzgerald) is a good-natured, sweet, mature yet somewhat ditzy, fashionable local girl who normally treats her peers (including the Eds) respectfully; however, when antagonized she will react violently to the cause of her agitation or partake in harming the Eds as discipline for an alleged misdeed that they have committed. A majority of the male characters featured in the series are smitten with her, and an entire episode once chronicled their many failed attempts at wooing her. She also possesses a number of humorous eccentricities, such as the ability to yodel, substandard skills at playing a rather large tuba and is often depicted with poor table etiquette. Edd seems to be the Ed that Nazz is closest to, as he was the first character she'd kissed in the series in 'The Day the Ed Stood Still', took him trick-or-treating in the Halloween special, and got him to dance with her at the school dance in 'May I Have this Ed?'. She appears to have a crush on Kevin, though he is mostly oblivious to this; he favors his bike more. Although one of the most mature of the neighborhood kids, she occasionally displays traits of the stereotypical 'dumb blonde'. She is presumably of Dutch descent, based on her surname. She is also the only character besides the Kankers to have a confirmed surname, ironically rumored to be an ad-lib by Erin Fitzgerald during recording.
Other characters
Kanker Sisters
Lee (Janyse Jaud), Marie (Kathleen Barr), and May (Erin Fitzgerald; Jenn Forgie) are three half-sisters who serve as the main antagonists towards the cul-de-sac and its inhabitants.[5] Lee is the leader with curly red hair that covers her eyes, Marie has blue hair, and May is the buck-toothed blonde. They live in the nearby trailer park[5] called Park 'n' Flush. The mere presence of the Kankers is enough to terrify the cul-de-sac residents, and they have been shown to have volatile and destructive tempers. While all the Kankers supposedly like the Eds,[5] it has been shown that May prefers Ed, Marie prefers Edd, and Lee prefers Eddy. Throughout the series, each of the Kankers repeatedly get the Eds and privately force themselves onto them with romantic intention, much to their horror.
Eddy's Brother
Eddy's Brother (Terry Klassen) is mentioned frequently throughout the series, mostly by Eddy, though his name is never revealed. Eddy mentions how his brother taught him much about how to scam, and to be a con artist, and throughout the series many of the children are shown to have a great fear and respect for him. He was previously an unseen character, but he finally makes an appearance in the movie Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show. Eddy's brother at first seems to be everything the other kids imagined, but it turns out that all of the folklore surrounding him was made up by Eddy to impress the other kids, and in reality he is a sadistic individual who refers to Eddy as a 'pipsqueak' and bullies him mercilessly, which ultimately caused Eddy to become who he is. He works at the 'Mondo a-Go Go' amusement park, but his specific job is unknown.
Reception, appearances in other media and merchandising
In 2004, the Eds also appeared in a short series of basketball commercials with NBA All-Star Steve Francis.[9] All three Eds have been the main roles in four Ed, Edd n Eddy-based video games, including Ed, Edd n Eddy: Jawbreakers!
