How Ed, Edd n Eddy Created Cult Icons 

What’s your favorite Cartoon Network show of all time? Twitter: @nerdstalgicyt Music in this video is made by the AMAZING Jalen Edington!

"This is a show about the unremarkable, where nothing amazing happens." *distinctly remembers an episode where Ed gets a rock in his shoe and consumes a slide because of it*

And to this day we still haven't gotten a complete DVD Collection of Ed Edd n Eddy

Well ed did get grounded, his parents took away his stairs.....the whole thing 😂

I still remember the episode where ed just kept saying "we're going up!" And they end up making a makeshift sky scraper. Strangely motivational

My main love for this show is towards its art style and colour palette, especially the backgrounds.

Something to mention, but another factor is the fixed cast. Not a single new character (outside of Eddy's brother in the movie) was introduced in the entire series. So even the supporting characters had as much attention as the main characters. One thing I loved about the movie was seeing everyone get an arc, even Nazz

Ed Edd 'n Eddy was like The Three Stooges. All you need is an iconic duo or trio with personalities that bounce off each other, good chemistry and a kind of _magic_ where you can then put them into _any scenario_ and no matter what it is, they can make it funny. That was Ed, Edd n Eddy. It's also the cartooniest cartoon that ever cartooned. One of my favorite episodes, One Plus One equals Ed have the boys breaking the laws of reality of their own world. Whether it's removing Jimmy's outline or taking a bite out of the sun. The Eds truly could do ANYTHING they wanted and there's something so wonderful and hilarious about that. So carefree.

"It's been almost ten years since the last episode aired." Me: I know I'm only 21, but why you gotta make me feel OLD like that.

I was Ed for Halloween last year, which is actually a extremely simple costume. An open green button shirt with a red & white striped shirt with blue jeans. I knew some people would recognize who I was, but I was genuinely surprised at the amount of people who right away knew I was Ed. Even a lot of young kids who were born after the show ended knew who I was dressed as. Truly an iconic show

My uncle Matt voiced Ed. Thanks for creating this video.

If you don't think slapstick can be funny, you've never seen Ed, Edd n' Eddy.

My parents didn’t let me watch this show because the word “stupid” was thrown around a lot. That ban made me sneak watching this show all the time.

Aged like fine wine. No other cartoon has mastered this style of animation since then.

Phenomenal video, love this show to death. I really hope Danny Antonucci does something new soon.

rolf was always my fave. "Life has many holes ed boy" "It's the hammer of discipline!"

23 now. I still think of those Ed boys when I hear "culdisac"

The animation style always made it seem like the characters had life. In every other cartoon, at one point or another, you see a character completely stop moving. These characters were always moving, while everything else that wasn't a character didn't move.

Weirdly enough, the message of the movie hit more close to home when I rewatched it recently. The fact that those you look up to, especially family, aren’t always good people. I remember being 13 and trying to deal with the fact that my dad was moving away following their divorce. He was essentially unemployed and crashing at our summer house, but I tried to play it cool and make it out like he had this great job in the other town. There were a lot of things I didn’t know at the time and I don’t blame myself for trying to be positive, but it’s one of the hardest lessons you have to learn as a kid. I don’t care what people say, this movie was mature.

Ohhh lmao I was like "Who the hell am I subscribed to?" For a second there

This video hit so hard and deep in the feels bro, last drawn cartoon wow

there's a reason why Ed, Edd, and Eddy became more than a beloved cartoon, more than a piece of nostalgia. it was not only an integral part of our youth but also a mirror image of what every kid had in their life: a couple of best friends with whom you grow and learn, and along the way, get into some trouble.

I remember watching the finale movie when it first aired and how big of an event it was. The end of an era, of a true icon in Cartoon Networks history of incredible shows

"They didn't have to worry about getting grounded." Bruh, they had an entire episode where each of the eds got grounded. You even see their parents in the report card episode.

Lets admit it, we all wish we had friends like ed and double d. So good memories

To this day, Ed Edd n Eddy is my favorite cartoon of all time next to Regular Show

You perfectly explained why this is my favorite cartoon. Eddy’s character arc is something a lot of people look over, and I love that there’s others out there that see the show the way I do ❤️

Edd: "Eddy we need to show the girls our sensitive side." Ed: "My sensitive side is where I have a rash." Edd: "Thank you for sharing that with us Ed." Me: "XD... classic."

The thing I always liked about Ed Edd n Eddy was how late 70s and early 80s it was in capturing what it was liking growing up in or near a random mill hill town. It was a snapshot generation X's childhood that I hear so much about, like latch key kids and not having modern tech to entertain. It was what Stranger Things tries to be, but FAR more genuine.

I still call turkey basters Canadian squirt guns Thank you Eddy 😭

“Maybe being unremarkable isn’t such a bad thing” Thanks , now I’m crying

This show has such a special place in my heart. I was born in the right era.

Yeah that's right...........Eddy had porn magazines RELAT- ED- BLE

Simply, my favorite cartoon of all time. Preferred this over Spongebob.

Somebody better show PhantomStrider this video. Not to get him to like the show, but get him to understand what a lot of people like about this show.

Never had I’ve ever felt any closer to the Ed-boys than anybody else. The Ed in me is a goofball, random, and thoughtful of other people. My Edd is smart, might go a little nuts over untidiness, and inventive. My Eddy is loud, sarcastic, and a leader. And we were all outcasts.

25 cents to see paradise.

I also get what you mean in that Ed Edd 'n Eddy captured the best part of our childhood: *the summer* in a cul-de-sac. This is why the back-to-school seasons were much less memorable. You're not on an eternal summer vacation anymore, going outside to play or scheme without worrying about teachers or homework.

Ed Edd n Eddy is a lot like King of the Hill in some ways. It's probably why I love going back to them, they're not afraid to show everyday life.

There will never be a show like Ed Edd n Eddy

Ed: Sarah will tell mom and mom will tell dad and DAD WILL JUST SIT THERE AND WATCH TV Eddy: Think of it lumpy, monster movies, comic books, and all the gravy you can eat

"I can hear dorks! But I don't seeeeee dorks!"

Ed Edd n Eddy and The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy are my favorite CN shows of all time.

Wow. You absolutely nailed why Ed Edd n Eddy was, and still is my favorite cartoon

I only wish they'd name the movie; "Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Peach Creek R-Ed-emption"

I'm glad EEnE "died" when it was it's time. It was a great show that didn't get dragged out too long. If only Spongebob (which I loved as a kid, RIP Stephen Hillenburg) stayed the same, but Nick's too greedy for money :(

I gotta say this might be your best video to date. I remember watching this show everyday during the summers that it aired.

God I miss this show, it was the best show especially when I was growing up. Even though it ended perfectly I wish they did one more episode showing how they grew up

>tfw your best running cartoon was made by a dare

I've watched every single episode of ed edd n eddy. That proves that it's been a huge part of my childhood. I still watch this show now as i did as a kid. It really aged greatly.

No other show hit as close to home as this one. Always loved the animation style, and so stories felt like something i was feeling at the time. I remember researching Danny Antonucci & i went so far as to do the “we’re not worthy” thing from Wayne’s World when i googled him. 29 years old now & i still remember those hot summer days stuck at home watching Ed Edd n Eddy marathons. I lived so far from my school & didnt have a lot of friends to begin with, so getting to grow up with the kids in the cul-de-sac always gave me a good laugh & warmed my heart.

This reaffirms EEnE as my favorite cartoon show. It's been my favorite for a long time, but you put it into words I didn't have.

South Park actually was digital, or at least it has been after the first episode. Anyways, I've always felt that one of the strengths of Ed Edd n Eddy was that it didnt shy away from the idea that people, and especially kids, are unfair. Things didn't always work out the way the characters wanted, and it wasn't uncommon for the kids to be outright dickish to each other. This worked, though, because the kids themselves weren't always the best people, so you never felt too bad for them when things went south, yet they were still relatable enough that you could get invested in their stories. Basically, you were often going "Haha, yeah, people are like that sometimes" or "Haha, yeah, I've been there" more than anything. I always liked that this show wasn't afraid to show unfair and dickish behavior from the main cast, I think it made them more real.....well, in a sense, anyway. They are still exaggerated cartoons, after all.

@1:10 That guy's smile is literally his artstyle. Like you could just see it in him

The music is so good too, its one of the reasons why I like Jazz

I give this vid two butter toast way up! And on the real bro that was Beautiful. This changed my mood after work.

Man this was my favorite show as a kid, I remember wanting to live in that cul de sac and do all the shenanigans the Eds did. Great vid 👌

This is like an ode to the Eds. Nicely done, man. I'm a huge fan of this show. I was 12 when it started back in 1999, which was the Eds' age too. I still watch the show every 5 years or so. It never gets old, you know?

I remember when the commercials for the show came out before Ed Edd & Eddy even aired little did that 11 year old me know that I was bein introduced to my favorite cartoon

I didn’t expect to get emotional watching this video, this show was my childhood 🥺

I thought Edd was a girl for the longest time 😂

I admired this show so much that I began writing or planning alternate versions of them among of my many planned Fanfictions. Not in the weird or cringey way, but in the most respectful way.

If my memory serves me correctly, in most of the episodes the trio see themselves in the middle of a situation without even knowing how they'd gotten there in the first place, and that, for me, is the beauty of this show. It totally relates to the way suburban kids played outdoors. Having been one of those, I remember that we would be doing somthing and, minutes later, we would be in a totally different situation or game without even realizing how that had happened.

The sound design was a huge part of me loving the show. It added to the absurd, random, and hyperbolic antics and made me a huge fan.

As a kid, I took Ed, Edd n' Eddy for granted. It was almost always airing a new episode, or rerunning some phenomenal ones. A lot of shows back then didn't last an entire year, let alone several. There were so many episodes that were just so memorable, like Rolf's fish duel, or the Eds cutting up carpet and gluing it to their armpits to try and look grown up. Or the time machine, or the episode where they tried to make Jimmy into a sumo wrestler. Or the episode where Ed apparently saw Alien and acted like a xenomorph, hunting down the other kids and trapping them in his room with weird cereal stuff. Or when the rock got stuck in Ed's shoe, so he ate an entire slide. God, this show was absurd, but it was just so fun. Anybody remember the PS2 game the Eds had? I remember playing the part where Ed went all Godzilla over and over again, or the sci-fi Lost-In-Space part that took place in the junkyard. I get some real nostalgia remembering that game.

Ed, Edd n Eddy's soundeffects are never talked about and it's one of the most underrated thing in the show

Ed, Edd, n Eddy has always been, and probably always will be my favorite cartoon.

Love Ed, Edd and Eddy All time favourite.Those three where my closes friends when nobody else was

South park is digital though. Only the first episode was animated using Construction Paper. Every episode after that is animated using the 3D animation program Autodesk Maya

Heretic: I’ve never watched Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Absolute CHAD: All it takes is 25 cents

Even today, as a young adult, I still sometimes randomly quote lines from the show in everyday life. That's how big of an impact it had on my childhood.

so confused to see this in my Subscriptions, but good to see Games vs food will live on

*Finishes video* Me: “Hey, that’s pretty good.”

Since I'm rewatching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 right now, I just realized something… Eddy = Quark. Edd = Nog. Ed = Rom. And now I can't un-think that.

I still believe that Ed (single d, no y) was actually the smartest of the Ed's, and just had an over active imagination

I love Ed Edd n Eddy series. This was my pre-teen and late childhood.

To this day, I still love this show, and I had never thought of it as in depth as you explained in this video, which just makes me love it that much more.

This was my favorite show as a child, and is still in my top 3 favorite cartoons. It never fails to make me laugh, and I love that.

This and Ben 10, what more could a kid ask for after school

Out of all the best shows out there, this was one of the shows that defined my childhood, period. These guys had always been with me all throughout and I would never missed a single episode each week. I'm glad this show ended on a satisfying conclusion.

Awesome video and great editing as always!

I know this is probably weird to say, but this show was art to me. Everything just had meaning, sound, color, humor, and just felt alive.

Ed Edd n Eddy will forever go down in history as one of the greatest cartoons to ever exist period.

I think the best things about the show is the fact that it immortalizes the childhoods of middle class kids that grew up in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. It was revolutionary at the time because most shows portrayed unrealistic childhoods that only kids with rich parents could ever have, while this portrayed everyday life for normal kids. Now we can look back and see a show that illustrates our childhood instead of just having the memories. In a way, these characters were our childhood friends that never grew up.

Ironically enough I actually had to grow up a bit to get this show. When I was younger the voices and designs of the characters didn't come across to me as young as they were meant to be, probably largely because I just never watched it enough to learn anything past the surface. I didn't realize until I was a young adult that they were meant to be children with overactive imaginations, not incredibly stupid teenagers, and I have a new appreciation for the show now

Another channel rebrand 😂 I love it, though I do miss the "What's So Great" format. And Ed, Edd, N' Eddy was my JAM!

Nerdstalgic: "They weren't flying to the moon" Me: remembers when they accidentally got stuck on the moon

Wait a coincidence that I'd watch this today- happy 21st Anniversary to Ed, Edd, n Eddy!

THIS was my favorite show. My favorite episode is the one where Ed turns into like a... lizard monster and chases the other kids around the neighborhood. He's gluing them in his basement with milk and cereal. And theres that one scene where they're sitting in the treehouse terrified and you can see him circling them at the bottom of the tree.

For a show that's supposed to celebrate the unremarkable, I distinctly remember an episode where the Eds practically broke reality! Even when Rolf warned them...

Great video and solid editing, I hope you get well soon Tyler

I miss this show so much I wish I could be 10 or 12 coming home from school around 230 330. I see all 3 eds in me. Not having many Friends from school made me feel like this show was my friends. God the nostilagle is strong.

I can honestly say that this show sculpted me into the person I am today

*finds channel where a guy analyzes my favorite childhood cartoons* SUBSCRIBED 🏆

This was the very first video that got me started watch you channel I look at past all the mistake I've in my life and ever since then haven't regretted this decision since

Missed your videos like this, hope to see more

I miss this show, my mum hated it but i absolutely loved it as a child

They do leave the cul-de-sac to go to school, and Ed and Eddy definitely get grounded. Good video essay overall though.

Ed Edd n’ Eddy was known for its hand-drawn animation, it’s sound effects, and it’s jawbreakers
