Also supporting this are during the rare occasions when Ed actually stands up to her ("Pop Goes the Ed" and "Little Ed Blue"), she backs down, either because Jimmy tells her to (as in "Pop Goes the Ed"), or out of genuine fear (as in "Little Ed Blue"). "High Heeled Ed" implied that the reason why Eddy never retaliates against her is that she's Ed's sister, and when Eddy does fight back against her in "Ed, Ed, and Away" and "One of Those Eds", he actually puts up a decent fight against her. Is Sarah as tough as we're made to believe? Despite the multiple times Sarah has beaten him and his friends up, Eddy never seems to be afraid of her.Is Eddy's brother a simple case of Jerkass bully older brother or an abuser or worse?.Is Plank evil (and alive) or just a piece of wood that only lives in Johnny's head?.Are they just bullies tormenting everyone for kicks, or is it a facade, built because of (implied) abuse and poverty they had faced earlier in their lives? Do they care about the Eds, and if yes, to what extent? Or do they just want "men" to control and do their chores? This is especially contested given how in their introductory episode they genuinely treated the Eds well (washing their clothes, making them food, putting on a movie, freshening themselves up) and only started acting cruelly towards them when they rudely rebuffed their advances.


Jonny's Cloudcuckoolander personality, especially when he's "talking" with Plank, gives him this status.Jimmy, being a cute, delicate, accident-prone kid who cries easily and has a lot of woobie moments.He's cute, geeky, neurotic, polite, and quite a Shrinking Violet, especially around girls. Ed is a silly, lovable oaf with a playful and innocent personality and a number of odd obsessions like sci-fi movies, chickens, and buttered toast.Can't forget this episode title: "Take This Ed and Shove It".

Double D didn't do much to quash the idea that the reward would be a jawbreaker but at the same time, the kids shouldn't have expected a jawbreaker as a reward considering how the Eds are infamous for rarely ever getting any let alone giving them away.Įddy: (eyes a hot dog) Hey, Rolf. Be upfront about the reward for your task, and have realistic expectations. If Eddy had been upfront about helping Rolf get over his homesickness by constructing a fake village based on his homeland in exchange for a small fee, they may have been able to avoid the pain they end up getting at the end of the episode.
