I was skeptical at first, considering it's the season where all the kids go back to school, but I was so glad that it still focused on the Eds' shenanigans and there wasn't a new character that was introduced.
I remember how they built the movie up with a massive weekend marathon event called “Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show Weekend Marathon” where CN aired nothing but Ed, Edd’n Eddy episodes in the order they came out before capping it off with the premier of Big Picture Show. That entire weekend I didn’t touch a single video game, woke up early and watched every episode of that marathon. A distant, but happy memory.
I remember that marathon, but for some reason I remember it ending with the season 5 finale "A Fistful of Ed". I don't know why I didn't see or know about the movie until years later, when I randomly caught it on tv. I guess I was a really stupid 12 year old. I think I was visiting family, so maybe something took me away from the movie itself.
Jawbreaker come in many sizes. Used to be able to get hard ball sized ones that would be quite a bit of work before you could even get it In your mouth
This is a somewhat embarrassingly recent discovery of mine, but the final confrontation w/ Eddy's brother actually calls back to an earlier scene in the movie. When the Eds are entering the cow field, they reference Wizard of Oz w/ Eddy telling Ed he needs a brain, Ed telling Eddy to have a heart, and Double D telling himself to have courage. When facing Eddy's brother, Double D showed courage by standing up to him, Ed showed brains by removing the bolt from the door to knock him out, and Eddy showed heart by admitting his wrongdoings and apologizing to everyone. (also yes thank you for pointing out the movie did the whole "protagonists fight/break up before the climax" trope so well by having them immediately resolve the issue within the same scene. like we all know they're gonna make up anyway so just get to it lol)
Funny the amount of wizard of oz parallels here, as Eddy's brother can be thought of as their version of the wizard. The wizard was even shown to be somewhat of a con artist in the original too, as the group had whatever they desired all along, and Eddy's brother was a con artist who the three aspired to be, believing he somehow had the traits they were missing.
Because it wasn’t a second act break up so much as it was the tension between edd and eddy hitting a breaking point as two opposing forces throughout the series. Then the tension is gone and it’s cathartic. Eddy makes himself vulnerable to Edd and apologizes, which is something you rarely see in these kinds of shows and which is why it feels so significant
Big agree! I loved watching this after school and on the weekends and the fun it brought. I hope to one day get these on a flash drive or something similar to introduce my nieces to once they're a little older (one's about to be 6 the other is almost 5) so they hopefully can get the same/similar enjoyment out of it that I did :)
The big picture show finale was such an amazing way for the series to end. It felt like it naturally addressed every single thing that needed following up on. Eddy grows a lot as a person, and he arguably needed it most. We see his brother. And after being an outcast for so long, the Ed's are finally accepted by the rest of the cul-de-sac. Everything was wrapped up exactly how you'd hoped it would. Probably one of the absolute best cartoon finales ever produced.
that confrontation with Eddy's brother always gets me emotional, all those small details throughout the show about how great he was, and how much admiration he had for him, and then making that be an essential plotpoint to the series finale, and then finally seeing him in person..... like as if it was coordinated from the start/ was intentionally designed to be the way it was and I personally feel like it's as close to perfection as it should it be for a children's show. I'll love this damn show, and sing a beautiful choir to those responsible for it until the day I die.
One of the most intresting things too that when you watch the previous episodes, there are hints/foreshadowing that Eddy's brother isn't a good person. Such as the treasure map where Double D says "I think your brother liked to play tricks on you" and or how Eddy in one episode talk about how his brother got sent away.
Less of a children's show, more of a cartoon. Growing up, and especially as an adult, you see and hear all the innuendo & you wonder how the radar missed a LOT. Animated ≠ for kids, that reminds me of those chicks at the Oscars.
I know many think "Take This Ed And Shove It" is a dark and sad ending....But am I the only one who finds it oddly wholesome? Like, I get it...Eddy is old and misses his childhood, that's sad...But think about it. The Eds are in their 90s, but never lost each other. They were always outcast and knew what it was like to be alone, and had bad home lives. But, they always had each other. Meanwhile, here they are now, presumable never have left each other's side. They're 90+ years old and they still were inseparable and life never tore them apart, even through teenage years and adulthood. Finally, the episode ends with the three friends, still united after decades...Having a good ol' laugh together. That's really heartwarming In my opinion. For as much as they fought and bickered...This finale implies that Ed, Edd and Eddy truly had a bond nothing could break.
I never thought of it as dark at all. Just 3 best friends in the twilight of their lives remembering their youth fondly. Honestly, i cant think of a more wholesome ending, outside of them saying how much they appreciated each other. But you know, its comedy.
I still remember when i first heard that "Take This Ed And Shove It" was originally going to be the series finale for EENE, and i'm honestly glad that the series ended with "Big Picture Show" instead because as much as i liked "Take This Ed And Shove It" the idea of the series ending with the Ed's as adults felt kinda not right because you know they were made as kids for a reason therefore on some level it was only right to have the show end with them as kids imo at least.
right exactly. Plus not only that but if it also would've ended on "Take this Ed and Shove it" then the series would've ended very darkly and grim instead of the happy ending that we got from "Big Picture Show" And also we would've never gotten to seen the Eds get accepted into the Kids' group, the physical appearance of Eddy's brother, and Eddy's character growth and development. Yes Season 5 may have been the weakest season of the show but it still comes to show how there's always light at the end of a tunnel.
@@Du-yw1pz the closure was nice versus take this Ed and shove it, for finally concluding on something that had been in the works for ten years - the eds to be a part of the cul-de-sac. I personally prefer take this ed and shove it as the first four seasons were all about the eds getting the short end of the stick. It makes sense and seems fitting in a way that the shows reality would be people reminiscing on the beginning of their lives as they are close to the end of it. It certainly is dark, but was fitting for the Ed boys at the time, for me anyway.
As a adult I have so much more respect for eddy hustle. He really tried everything to make a dollar himself to get what he wants. Double D showed its ok to be a nerd and have your quirks. Man was always learning. Ed jus made it clear its ok to be yourself.
The season 4 finale, while humourous in an existential kind of way, wasn't a satisfying ending. It felt more like an afterthought. With Big Picture Show, it tested the Eds' relationship and pushed them to be better friends. It was a banger film and a suitable send off for the show. 😁
"Right around 15 years ago right now" Dude, I vividly remember the alien specials and watching them on TV. I CANNOT believe it has been that long. I am getting so old :(
yeah it was amazing, camp lazlo, my gym partners a monkey and i think ed edd n eddy had it too. i watched all of them because i liked all the shows, i retired watching cartoon network years ago, the people who run it dont know the definition of good cartoons they just run the same old animation that all looks the same cartoons on there that are just plain boring to watch. at lease in our time you could tell the difference from each cartoon and you could not say camp lazlo looks like ed edd n eddys art style.
According to the theory, the children of the cul-de-sac each hail from different eras spanning the early 1900s to the early 2000s. This would explain why the year for the show is very hard to pinpoint, with multiple anachronisms present, and also why there aren't any adults in the show (although you do catch a glimpse of one every now and then). Rolf arrived first from the 1900s, the theory goes. His family had moved to Peach Creek in order to establish a farm on its land. Rolf died around 1903 when his family's farm animals stampeded and trampled him. This was the supposed reason as to why he only has one cow, one goat, a few pigs, and a few chickens (not enough animals to cause a fatal stampede) in the afterlife. Johnny 2x4 came to the Cul-de-sac not too long after Rolf's death. Having no friends, Johnny took a marker and drew a face on a piece of wood, and dubbed it Plank. He died in 1922 after fighting a long battle with tuberculosis, 6 years before the discovery of penicillin. He took his friend, Plank, with him in the afterlife since he was the last thing that he saw in life before he died. Purgatory would also explain Plank's occasional sentient behavior, which is most notably demonstrated in the movie. Eddy came next. He was born in New York but eventually moved to Peach Creek during the Great Depression era. Always trying to get a quick buck, he always set up scams to get money from the Cul-de-sac kids in an effort to escape the poverty he spent his whole life in. Eddy didn't have a proper father figure since his real father abandoned him and his mother shortly after he was born. With this, came the big bro he adored and idolized so very much despite the latter's abusive nature. After one of his scams went awry, Eddy was chased by the swindled children of the Cul-de-sac, and ran to the lake and jumped into it. Eddy ended up drowning in that lake, and he soon joined the other deceased children in the afterlife. Even though he was no longer alive, Eddy still tried to chase after the "Almighty dollar" by continuing his swindling nature in the afterlife. Ed and Sarah were the next to arrive at the Cul-de-sac. Their father had died fighting in WWII, and as a result, their mother became distant and disconnected. To cope, Sarah developed her bossy attitude, trying to fill the role their parents used to fill before their father died and their mother stopped caring. Conversely, Ed shut the world out and delved into the fantasy worlds of comic books and monster movies, which exploded in popularity during and after WWII, in order to escape his unhappy life. They both died in a freak car accident in 1953, thus joining the past kids in death. Nazz was born in the 1960s era to hippie parents. Described as a flower child, she was a rather flirtatious young girl who would always act that way towards the male children of the neighborhood. In the summer of '79, a serial killer escaped from a local asylum made his way into her house and raped and murdered her along with her entire family. Edd/Double D was born in the 70s when preparing to attend college from a young age became the societal norm expectation, and was raised by very strict, controlling, emotionally distant parents. They pushed him to succeed academically and to be perfectly clean and neat. He is believed to have died as a result of a gas leak causing an explosion with the Bunsen burner from his chemistry set. Kevin was born around the early 1980s. He was born to a broken-down house, and he also had an abusive father who was poorly-educated and his mother had passed away when he was a year old. Because of his situation at home, Kevin would act his frustration out on the other children of the Cul-de-sac, becoming a bully to cope with his repressed anger. His fascination with his bike fits right in with the birth of the popular X-Games in 1995. One night in the winter of '99, his father fatally beat him in a fit of drunken rage, and he died while he was on his way to the hospital. His father was then convicted of his murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison. When Kevin entered into the afterlife, he re-imagined his father as loving and that he would shower him in gifts. He still kept his bullying ways in the afterlife, however. Jimmy was the last child to enter into the Cul-de-sac. He was born in the early 1990s, and was diagnosed with leukemia. He never associated with the other Cul-de-sac children, because his parents believed he was too frail to be around the other kids, and he remained bed-ridden for the remainder of his life because of this fact. After fighting a difficult battle with his leukemia, Jimmy eventually succumbed to his illness, and soon the Cul-de-sac Purgatory was complete. The Kankers were different from the other neighborhood children. It is believed that they are actually demons that were sent to the Cul-de-sac to torment the souls of the remaining children who didn't cross over to Heaven. The Kankers are the only characters with normal-colored tongues, which would seem to indicate that they are not dead, and that therefore, they must be something different. Surprisingly, the Kankers are attracted to the Eds for unknown reasons. However, one common guess is that they are the weakest-willed children of the Cul-de-sac, or because they each symbolize a certain Deadly Sin.
@@eivindgj3761that was a lie made up by some random person. Danny the creator of the show said that they have colored tongues because when he was younger kids would have colored tongues because of all the candy they would eat.
Mad respect to the animators in charge of this show and always filling it with charm. When you mentioned they moved to digital, the change in quality was unnoticeable and the art style was kept the same. Some other cartoons would've just simplified things and loose that touch it had with the designs and art like Dexter, The Powerpuff Girls and Fairly Odd Parents did.
Yeah the only difference with the digitally drawn ones was that it looked like it got a fresh coat of paint but other than that it kept that distinctive hand drawn wiggly outline effect for all the characters which really gave this show a lot of style and personality.
Wow. I remember the Fosters, Ed, and Grim episodes of the alien invasion, but I have absolutely no memory of them being tied to some event. I was definitely still watching Cartoon Network at the time, but man. That's so weird. The Grim one specifically makes so much more sense. That's 100% the color of Kraft's mac and cheese powder when it's like, wet, but not fully mixed.
Loved how Ed just straight up went Fred Flinstone with the old car. On the triple repeating shot when they fled the house, I would always say "YABBA...DABBA...DOO!"
My grandmother would watch this show with me when I was younger. She’d watch a lot of cartoons with me but this one always made her laugh the most. She’s so much older and frail now and it saddens me that she’s nearing the end of her life, but memories of watching this show with her will always bring me so much joy.
I think the most unsettling episode to me was the alien one where Jimmy has a dream that aliens steal the cul-de-sac. He believes his dream is coming true when weird lights, smells and sounds come from Rolf's house. The kids rally to fight the aliens, only for it to turn out Rolf's family was visiting. However, the episode ends with the cul-de-sac actually being stolen by aliens.
I fondly remember the alien episode Cartoon Network made for all the shows they had running at the time all those years ago, back when Cartoon Network still had a more unified concept of a channel. If that makes any sense.
Y'know, before i found your channel, i remember not liking this show as a kid. i thought that it was grotesque and unappealing. but seeing you talk about it so passionately and seeing the show with a fresh eye, i can see how great it is. thank you for reintroducing me to this great show ~
Thanks for the kind words, and even if you still didn't like the show, that's what makes discourse around TV and Film so fun is that everyone has an opinion and it's okay to disagree! Glad you enjoy the show of course!
I remember the whole "cheese" thing back when they first premiered it and always wondered what the deal was with cheese . nice to discover the reason from this video
Ed, Edd N Eddy was my favorite cartoon growing up and even though a ton Cartoon Network shows are iconic as hell. Nothing beats this show, the animation and writing are timeless.
I didn’t grow up in an environment like the show so I often wondered if that’s what having neighborhood friends was like. I could kind of live vicariously through the show, it was fun.
Nothing will ever come close to being a kid in the early 2000s and watching ed edd n eddy in the living room then going out with my friends in the street (who also all loved the ed boys) back when life was sweet and innocent
I also remember watching these episodes come out at the time. I had started the 9th grade and seeing the movie ending felt really cool to have as I was "growing up". I love the nostalgia from this channel, feels wholesome.
I love how Ed defeats Eddy's brother with his brain instead of his strenght. Lets be honest if he had any malice he could turn a human into a ball of paper, but that is not his character.
All of Ed Edd n Eddy's endings are poignant and intelligent in their own way. It just goes to show Danny and his team were masters of their craft, creating a show that is just as smart as it is stupid and understanding what they could accomplish with it. The Big Picture Show was the perfect last one, tastefully doing fanservice in all the ways it needed to.
It would be really cool if you covered Code Lyoko. It was a show that appeared on magusi back in the early 2000s. Centered around a group of board school kids who find a factory harboring a supercomputer virus that can manipulate reality in hopes to destroy it. The kids are sent to a virtual world to deactivate towers that are causing havoc in the real world all while trying to bring a girl from Lyoko into the real world. Really cool stuff for it's time and I would love to hear what you have to say about it in a deeper dive.
When you mention about the supercomputer virus, you mean Xana? That idea was never the case, it has been clarified in the show that Xana was a ai that gained sentience/rouge through Franz hopper's repeated returns to the past. At least I'm pretty sure that what I had said was clarified through the show through franz's video diary.
@@morganrussman i haven't researched it in about 8 years so the finer detailed of the later seasons might be a bit fuzzy. Untill the later seasons I feel like my description is pretty accurate considering that what it is assumed to be untill that plot twist later on after the mentioned diaries are discovered.
I really miss this show. It's one of the few ones I wish would get started up again, but with the original writers and creator being in full control of it. You sir, have earned another subscriber. Keep up the good work!
Holy nostalgia bomb! I feel eddy in the season 4 finale. I’m approaching 30 and I’d give anything to go back to being a kid to be that innocent and stress free. The 2000’s was an awesome time to be a kid.
This show definitely has a special place in my heart, it's one of my all time favorite cartoons. This was really cool to watch, I didn't realize how weird things got after season 4 as far as show development goes, like I had no idea season six was only one episode. Superb video Jordan! I'm gonna rewatch this show now
The bit where they go to get chili dogs at the end had hit me so hard at the time, I really did think it was the perfect ending to the series. I'd never really thought of it as a series that had a "heart" to be expressed that way, but when I saw it, it was unmistakable and made it obvious why I'd liked the show all along.
I watched this show as a kid, but grew out of the target audience after a couple seasons. I remember my freshman year of college turning on the T.V. and seeing the movie airing and was shocked the show was still on the air. Not because it wasn't good enough to run that long, but just because kids' cartoons generally don't have such a long lifespan (especially back then). Ed, Edd n Eddy is quite possibly the only cartoon whose premiere I remember being super excited about. No idea why, but Cartoon Network's promotions for it really caught my attention. The night it was supposed to premiere, though, we had a family event at my aunt's. However, the adults were nice enough to let me break away and go watch it in the other room because they knew how much I wanted to see it.
Ed Edd n Eddy is one of if not my favorite comedy shows, but they re-ran the show so much and in different orders that I never thought the old age episode was planned to be the end. I glad they didn't because I like the movie and where it ended much better.
Bro thank you literally made me relive some moments I had completely forgotten all about. Ed, Edd, and Eddy was my favorite show growing up and it was badass just seeing a recap of it all.
I just wanna say, I would love to see you cover the alien takeover event at some point. I don't remember a whole lot about it, but I definitely remember it happening, and I remember being very excited to see it. Id love to have my memories fully brought back with that one!
Jordan you have to talk about the Anime opening. It obviously comes after the end of the show as you see Captain Melon Head, returning as The Gourd for his revenge as the Kankers tear through the Cul-da-sac. a comment on that video sums it up perfectly: "I see this as the natural progression after The Big Picture Show. The Kankers, having had their way with Eddys Brother, have now joined forces and returned to the cul-de-sac to wreak havoc upon the kids who opposed them, Eddys Brother for revenge, the Kankers for the sake of chaos. Along the way, The Gourd, a fallen hero-turned-villain and now an outcast, uses this chaos as an opportunity to seek revenge against those who he used to call his friends. The Eds, having finally been accepted by the rest of the kids, rise up as defenders of the cul-de-sac, with all of their jury-rig science, brute strength, snidely cunning, and the help of ancient artifacts like the boomerang and cursed phone, to protect their friends, save their way of life, and, potentially, remind The Gourd of what he formerly stood for and reawaken the fallen hero known as Captain Melonhead to turn the tide of battle."
I'm right there with you Jordan, this show means a lot to me as well and I'll always be thankful I got to experience this amazing show during my childhood.
To honest I'm kinda glad that Ed, Edd and Eddy ended on such a high note, with the movie addressing every single left pothole we were wondering about, it's like you couldn't ask for more satisfying ending for a well loved cartoon, and though as a kid I was sad that the show had ended but now as an adult I'm kinda glad it did, because if it didn't, no doubt, it would end up exactly like Ben 10 and Spongebob WHICH SHOULD BOTH HAD ENDED WITH THEIR FIRST MOVIE!
Can't believe I'll be 30 this year. This analysis made me love this show even more. Thanks so much for the incredible, blissful nostalgic happiness I got from watching this.
Season 5 has a special place in my memory cause my family had just moved back to the first apartment I lived in when I first saw this season, so it's like me and the show were experiencing something new. My first time watching it was in 09 cause we didn't have cable back in 06 so I completely missed it and had no idea it was a rerun lol
The Big Picture Show really was the best way to end a series. The payoff of the Eds being accepted by the rest of the culdesac was one of if not the best end to a series, animated or otherwise. I didn’t know about the original planned ending of season 4, but I’m glad they pushed on and it ended with TBPS.
I remember them doing the all day "Best Day Edder" marathonthat led up to "A Fistful of Ed" which they were marketing as the final episode and even did interviews with Danny Antonucci during the commercial breaks .
There's a theory that they're actually the ghosts of dead children (the characters) and the cul-de-sac is basically purgatory for them; rendering it haunted.
I always thought it would've been fun to see a brief, actual flash forward to Eds as adults. I imagine Ed would've become either a horror comic writer or a horror movie writer seeing as how much he loves them. Double D would be an inventor, obviously. Eddy I always pictured as becoming a pretty successful politician, seeing as he can tell believable lies like it's nothing.
I remember reading about a fan project called Ed Edd 'n Eddy Working. From what I remember, Ed works as a cameraman for budget horror movies, which lines up perfectly with his taste. Double D becomes a succesful surgeon, and oddly enough warms up to Marie. And Eddy is the head of a huge corporation. Also, Johnny seems to have grown out of his weird habits. He prefers not to discuss Plank, implying him to be an embarrassing phase. Oh and Jimmy's a twink looking guy who sells furniture. Correction: Eddy is a loan shark, and has been shot on two seperate occasions. Double D had to patch him up both times.
I remember the Billy & Mandy, Ed Edd n Eddy, and Camp Lazlo alien invasion episodes as well as the two games on Cartoon Network associated with the special (the adventure game apart of Billy & Mandy where you sneak onto their ship and try to stop the aliens; and the dodgeball game apart of Camp Lazlo), but I never saw the episodes involving aliens in My Gym Partner's A Monkey or Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.
i like how you’ve been making some longer videos now keep up the good work one day i hope we get an hour long video. also it would be cool if you talked about more fairly oddparents episodes
Although im not 90+ years old that episode hits so much harder now that I just turned 30 recently I had a dream where I was 15 again in my old house playing with my friends and was in a state or euphoria then I woke up which immediately almost sent me into tears.
Ultimately the Paul Boyd loss really took the Ed series away from us because he was big part of production and after the tragedy of his demise there was no way Danny was going to revive the series after the Big Picture Show
Not gonna lie, season 5 is my favorite. I like the animation more and the episodes have a new setting while staying true to the characters. My personal favorite episode would have to be the one where the Eds, Kevin, Johny, and Rolf make a bet on who can go the longest without falling for their habbit. Never did cafeteria food look so good...
You should Definitely Cover that "INVADED" Thing Because as a 2004 Boy I knew Nothing about this. I saw the Lazlo Episode I saw the Ed Edd and Eddy episode but I didn't know they were connected...?
Since in the official ending, they all became friends (except for Johnny initially), it's possible the original ending is still cannon. Although with real life comparisons... probably not lol. Love the show growing up. And yeah, I can't believe it's been 15 years... where does the time go?
I still remember this series is my favorite of all CN personally... Your video took me back when i was 6 to 10 years old watching and seeing ED, EDD and Eddy ending. Me and my younger brother watched all the seasons had the DVD's cause here in vzla they sold dvd's of the series. My point is this was one of the best series CN had at the time and everytime someone talks about it i cant stay silent cause this was my childhood, even though im 22 i will always love this series and recomend it to a lot of people.
Oh man I remember all the games they had, from jawbreaker puzzle to Wrestling. They had so many games from the old cartoons. The website got a rework and they removed all the old games…
I swear I remember them saying on TV that be alien episode with Jimmy's nightmare was advertised as the series finale but no one ever seems to remember this
This show was such a big part of growing up, its weird seeing you go over shows and movies from the early 2000s, because I can see all the little things I like today, and where those interests were born
There is this channel called Peach Creek it serves as a fan-made sequel to the show. If you've seen it I would like to know if you think EENE needs a continuation of the story Fringe.
I really liked seasons five through six. I don’t know why, but it kind of makes me feel bad that there are people who really don’t like those seasons. They will even go as far to say that people should skip them entirely because they are not “truly Ed Ed and Eddy” 🙁 I hated going to school growing up, so seeing the Ed’s and a school environment made me relate to them on a very deep level.
Haven't finished the video yet but, I'm aware of the reasons the last season ended abruptly.. I don't like remembering it, but I'm glad the creators made that last episode remarkable, referencing one of the animators.. Just telling you the importance of safety. Though, I see the movie as the perfect finale where they managed to wrap up almost everything.. (We still don't know what's under Edd's cap, and what the heck is Jonny doing becoming a villain..) The most beautiful thing you can notice, is how the characters actually developed. Specially Eddy, who finally got what he always asked for, recognition. I'm sure he completely changed his mindset after that one moment.
You're giving me nostalgia overload!!! I was glued to the TV back during this time! This was my favorite show for so long! Even the commercial transitions is a beautiful touch. I remember them all!!!! I miss those days! Time is definitely FLYING.
This is awesome, I had no idea the invaded special was originally hosted by kraft before they bailed. It makes so much sense and I never even noticed the recurring cheese themes!
Thanks so much for watching! How did you feel about Ed, Edd n Eddy Season 5 compared to the rest of the show?
@Jordan Fringe haven't watched the episode yet clearly but wanted to say love your videos
I like that season. People say it’s worse then the other seasons, but I think the series was consistently amazing
I liked it a lot. Others may not of but that's OK. I was happy to see the Ed's either way
There's a UA-cam channel named Peach Creek. They are making an unofficial sequel show.
I was skeptical at first, considering it's the season where all the kids go back to school, but I was so glad that it still focused on the Eds' shenanigans and there wasn't a new character that was introduced.
I remember how they built the movie up with a massive weekend marathon event called “Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show Weekend Marathon” where CN aired nothing but Ed, Edd’n Eddy episodes in the order they came out before capping it off with the premier of Big Picture Show. That entire weekend I didn’t touch a single video game, woke up early and watched every episode of that marathon.
A distant, but happy memory.
I remember that marathon, but for some reason I remember it ending with the season 5 finale "A Fistful of Ed". I don't know why I didn't see or know about the movie until years later, when I randomly caught it on tv. I guess I was a really stupid 12 year old. I think I was visiting family, so maybe something took me away from the movie itself.
Great marathon I miss those growing up. Big bowl of cereal too
Yoooooo what a crazy memory you just unlocked
The nostalgia
One of my favortie summers
I loved this show growing up! I always wanted a jaw breaker, and was disappointed to learn that they weren’t really that big.
Jawbreaker come in many sizes. Used to be able to get hard ball sized ones that would be quite a bit of work before you could even get it In your mouth
@@trevorauton2676 That’s true. I guess it’s really the disappointment of not being able to fit a basketball sized jaw breaker in my mouth 😄
I was disappointed when I found out that Jawbreakers didn't taste as good as the EEnE cast depicted them.
I was disappointed that I can't fit jawbreakers bigger than my jaw in my mouth. Those things take work.
So they do exist?!
"Your garden is overgrown and your cucumbers are soft!"
On of my favorite insults by Rolph of all time.
I love that Rolf insult too
Grown up it’s now a lot easier understand where Rolf was coming from and the things he says and does. He’s great
@@ZaxFSO8083 Rolf's insults were hilarious and the line " you dare mock the son of a Shepard" is Golden
Life has many doors ed-boy
I'll always be partial to "you stale end piece of white bread!" myself
This is a somewhat embarrassingly recent discovery of mine, but the final confrontation w/ Eddy's brother actually calls back to an earlier scene in the movie. When the Eds are entering the cow field, they reference Wizard of Oz w/ Eddy telling Ed he needs a brain, Ed telling Eddy to have a heart, and Double D telling himself to have courage.
When facing Eddy's brother, Double D showed courage by standing up to him, Ed showed brains by removing the bolt from the door to knock him out, and Eddy showed heart by admitting his wrongdoings and apologizing to everyone.
(also yes thank you for pointing out the movie did the whole "protagonists fight/break up before the climax" trope so well by having them immediately resolve the issue within the same scene. like we all know they're gonna make up anyway so just get to it lol)
Funny the amount of wizard of oz parallels here, as Eddy's brother can be thought of as their version of the wizard. The wizard was even shown to be somewhat of a con artist in the original too, as the group had whatever they desired all along, and Eddy's brother was a con artist who the three aspired to be, believing he somehow had the traits they were missing.
This comment is the best !
Oh damn, i never realized it until you pointed it out, then again it has been a really long time since ive seen the movie
Because it wasn’t a second act break up so much as it was the tension between edd and eddy hitting a breaking point as two opposing forces throughout the series. Then the tension is gone and it’s cathartic. Eddy makes himself vulnerable to Edd and apologizes, which is something you rarely see in these kinds of shows and which is why it feels so significant
triforce confirmed
Ed, Edd n Eddy one of the greatest cartoons in history I miss growing up watching this show.
Not even freaking close please
@@lisaswayne8241 It is stay bothered
Big agree! I loved watching this after school and on the weekends and the fun it brought. I hope to one day get these on a flash drive or something similar to introduce my nieces to once they're a little older (one's about to be 6 the other is almost 5) so they hopefully can get the same/similar enjoyment out of it that I did :)
Ed, Edd n Eddy and Codename: Kids Next Door were my favorite Cartoons growing up.
@@lisaswayne8241 shut up
The big picture show finale was such an amazing way for the series to end. It felt like it naturally addressed every single thing that needed following up on. Eddy grows a lot as a person, and he arguably needed it most. We see his brother. And after being an outcast for so long, the Ed's are finally accepted by the rest of the cul-de-sac. Everything was wrapped up exactly how you'd hoped it would. Probably one of the absolute best cartoon finales ever produced.
that confrontation with Eddy's brother always gets me emotional, all those small details throughout the show about how great he was, and how much admiration he had for him, and then making that be an essential plotpoint to the series finale, and then finally seeing him in person..... like as if it was coordinated from the start/ was intentionally designed to be the way it was and I personally feel like it's as close to perfection as it should it be for a children's show.
I'll love this damn show, and sing a beautiful choir to those responsible for it until the day I die.
ikr, they literally have been building him up the entire series up until the finale when you think about it
No forreal… had to sit down and think about all the shows I would obsessively watch as a child and this was one of them
And you know it was planned because his room was wallpapered over
One of the most intresting things too that when you watch the previous episodes, there are hints/foreshadowing that Eddy's brother isn't a good person. Such as the treasure map where Double D says "I think your brother liked to play tricks on you" and or how Eddy in one episode talk about how his brother got sent away.
Less of a children's show, more of a cartoon. Growing up, and especially as an adult, you see and hear all the innuendo & you wonder how the radar missed a LOT. Animated ≠ for kids, that reminds me of those chicks at the Oscars.
I know many think "Take This Ed And Shove It" is a dark and sad ending....But am I the only one who finds it oddly wholesome? Like, I get it...Eddy is old and misses his childhood, that's sad...But think about it. The Eds are in their 90s, but never lost each other. They were always outcast and knew what it was like to be alone, and had bad home lives. But, they always had each other. Meanwhile, here they are now, presumable never have left each other's side. They're 90+ years old and they still were inseparable and life never tore them apart, even through teenage years and adulthood. Finally, the episode ends with the three friends, still united after decades...Having a good ol' laugh together. That's really heartwarming In my opinion. For as much as they fought and bickered...This finale implies that Ed, Edd and Eddy truly had a bond nothing could break.
Never thought of it that way, I like it =)
That makes it more sad
@@jonathanortiz6212 dont be sad it all has to end, be happy that it happened
@@jonathanortiz6212 at least Eddy still has his friends.
I never thought of it as dark at all. Just 3 best friends in the twilight of their lives remembering their youth fondly. Honestly, i cant think of a more wholesome ending, outside of them saying how much they appreciated each other. But you know, its comedy.
I still remember when i first heard that "Take This Ed And Shove It" was originally going to be the series finale for EENE, and i'm honestly glad that the series ended with "Big Picture Show" instead because as much as i liked "Take This Ed And Shove It" the idea of the series ending with the Ed's as adults felt kinda not right because you know they were made as kids for a reason therefore on some level it was only right to have the show end with them as kids imo at least.
right exactly. Plus not only that but if it also would've ended on "Take this Ed and Shove it" then the series would've ended very darkly and grim instead of the happy ending that we got from "Big Picture Show"
And also we would've never gotten to seen the Eds get accepted into the Kids' group, the physical appearance of Eddy's brother, and Eddy's character growth and development.
Yes Season 5 may have been the weakest season of the show but it still comes to show how there's always light at the end of a tunnel.
Exactly!! I completely agree!!
@@Du-yw1pz the closure was nice versus take this Ed and shove it, for finally concluding on something that had been in the works for ten years - the eds to be a part of the cul-de-sac. I personally prefer take this ed and shove it as the first four seasons were all about the eds getting the short end of the stick. It makes sense and seems fitting in a way that the shows reality would be people reminiscing on the beginning of their lives as they are close to the end of it. It certainly is dark, but was fitting for the Ed boys at the time, for me anyway.
ending with the brother reveal honestly sounds much better conceptually as he was built up throughout the entire series.
Plus the ending was super depressing for the main character, Eddy
As a adult I have so much more respect for eddy hustle. He really tried everything to make a dollar himself to get what he wants. Double D showed its ok to be a nerd and have your quirks. Man was always learning. Ed jus made it clear its ok to be yourself.
The season 4 finale, while humourous in an existential kind of way, wasn't a satisfying ending. It felt more like an afterthought.
With Big Picture Show, it tested the Eds' relationship and pushed them to be better friends. It was a banger film and a suitable send off for the show. 😁
"Right around 15 years ago right now" Dude, I vividly remember the alien specials and watching them on TV. I CANNOT believe it has been that long. I am getting so old :(
Same here
yeah it was amazing, camp lazlo, my gym partners a monkey and i think ed edd n eddy had it too. i watched all of them because i liked all the shows, i retired watching cartoon network years ago, the people who run it dont know the definition of good cartoons they just run the same old animation that all looks the same cartoons on there that are just plain boring to watch. at lease in our time you could tell the difference from each cartoon and you could not say camp lazlo looks like ed edd n eddys art style.
Snap, I loved the alien specials
I turn 32 in 9 minutes. Feel it.
I did really enjoy season 5. It was nice seeing the cast in a new location and how they could deal with a school environment.
According to the theory, the children of the cul-de-sac each hail from different eras spanning the early 1900s to the early 2000s. This would explain why the year for the show is very hard to pinpoint, with multiple anachronisms present, and also why there aren't any adults in the show (although you do catch a glimpse of one every now and then).
Rolf arrived first from the 1900s, the theory goes. His family had moved to Peach Creek in order to establish a farm on its land. Rolf died around 1903 when his family's farm animals stampeded and trampled him. This was the supposed reason as to why he only has one cow, one goat, a few pigs, and a few chickens (not enough animals to cause a fatal stampede) in the afterlife.
Johnny 2x4 came to the Cul-de-sac not too long after Rolf's death. Having no friends, Johnny took a marker and drew a face on a piece of wood, and dubbed it Plank. He died in 1922 after fighting a long battle with tuberculosis, 6 years before the discovery of penicillin. He took his friend, Plank, with him in the afterlife since he was the last thing that he saw in life before he died. Purgatory would also explain Plank's occasional sentient behavior, which is most notably demonstrated in the movie.
Eddy came next. He was born in New York but eventually moved to Peach Creek during the Great Depression era. Always trying to get a quick buck, he always set up scams to get money from the Cul-de-sac kids in an effort to escape the poverty he spent his whole life in. Eddy didn't have a proper father figure since his real father abandoned him and his mother shortly after he was born. With this, came the big bro he adored and idolized so very much despite the latter's abusive nature. After one of his scams went awry, Eddy was chased by the swindled children of the Cul-de-sac, and ran to the lake and jumped into it. Eddy ended up drowning in that lake, and he soon joined the other deceased children in the afterlife. Even though he was no longer alive, Eddy still tried to chase after the "Almighty dollar" by continuing his swindling nature in the afterlife.
Ed and Sarah were the next to arrive at the Cul-de-sac. Their father had died fighting in WWII, and as a result, their mother became distant and disconnected. To cope, Sarah developed her bossy attitude, trying to fill the role their parents used to fill before their father died and their mother stopped caring. Conversely, Ed shut the world out and delved into the fantasy worlds of comic books and monster movies, which exploded in popularity during and after WWII, in order to escape his unhappy life. They both died in a freak car accident in 1953, thus joining the past kids in death.
Nazz was born in the 1960s era to hippie parents. Described as a flower child, she was a rather flirtatious young girl who would always act that way towards the male children of the neighborhood. In the summer of '79, a serial killer escaped from a local asylum made his way into her house and raped and murdered her along with her entire family.
Edd/Double D was born in the 70s when preparing to attend college from a young age became the societal norm expectation, and was raised by very strict, controlling, emotionally distant parents. They pushed him to succeed academically and to be perfectly clean and neat. He is believed to have died as a result of a gas leak causing an explosion with the Bunsen burner from his chemistry set.
Kevin was born around the early 1980s. He was born to a broken-down house, and he also had an abusive father who was poorly-educated and his mother had passed away when he was a year old. Because of his situation at home, Kevin would act his frustration out on the other children of the Cul-de-sac, becoming a bully to cope with his repressed anger. His fascination with his bike fits right in with the birth of the popular X-Games in 1995. One night in the winter of '99, his father fatally beat him in a fit of drunken rage, and he died while he was on his way to the hospital. His father was then convicted of his murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison. When Kevin entered into the afterlife, he re-imagined his father as loving and that he would shower him in gifts. He still kept his bullying ways in the afterlife, however.
Jimmy was the last child to enter into the Cul-de-sac. He was born in the early 1990s, and was diagnosed with leukemia. He never associated with the other Cul-de-sac children, because his parents believed he was too frail to be around the other kids, and he remained bed-ridden for the remainder of his life because of this fact. After fighting a difficult battle with his leukemia, Jimmy eventually succumbed to his illness, and soon the Cul-de-sac Purgatory was complete.
The Kankers were different from the other neighborhood children. It is believed that they are actually demons that were sent to the Cul-de-sac to torment the souls of the remaining children who didn't cross over to Heaven. The Kankers are the only characters with normal-colored tongues, which would seem to indicate that they are not dead, and that therefore, they must be something different. Surprisingly, the Kankers are attracted to the Eds for unknown reasons. However, one common guess is that they are the weakest-willed children of the Cul-de-sac, or because they each symbolize a certain Deadly Sin.
@@eivindgj3761 what the fuck are you on about? :sob:
@@eivindgj3761that was a lie made up by some random person. Danny the creator of the show said that they have colored tongues because when he was younger kids would have colored tongues because of all the candy they would eat.
I also enjoyed that season it was one of my favorites.
@@eivindgj3761 That was just fan fict.....
Mad respect to the animators in charge of this show and always filling it with charm. When you mentioned they moved to digital, the change in quality was unnoticeable and the art style was kept the same. Some other cartoons would've just simplified things and loose that touch it had with the designs and art like Dexter, The Powerpuff Girls and Fairly Odd Parents did.
Yeah the only difference with the digitally drawn ones was that it looked like it got a fresh coat of paint but other than that it kept that distinctive hand drawn wiggly outline effect for all the characters which really gave this show a lot of style and personality.
Wow. I remember the Fosters, Ed, and Grim episodes of the alien invasion, but I have absolutely no memory of them being tied to some event. I was definitely still watching Cartoon Network at the time, but man. That's so weird. The Grim one specifically makes so much more sense. That's 100% the color of Kraft's mac and cheese powder when it's like, wet, but not fully mixed.
I am so honored to have been alive when they first came out with this show. One of the best cartoons in cartoon history! You just had to be there.
Loved how Ed just straight up went Fred Flinstone with the old car.
On the triple repeating shot when they fled the house, I would always say "YABBA...DABBA...DOO!"
Lol think there were several references to old boomerang cartoons.
I'm 30 now and I still watch this. This played such a huge part in my childhood. Damn I miss this show
I still like watching Garfield and Friends
Same it’s forever a classic
@@cnukem facts. Timeless I'll be watching forever
Yup. I'm 31 and used to watch the fuck out of this
I would argue that Ed,Edd n Eddy had the best ending in cartoon network history, it was low key perfect
Where can I see it all?
@@MrTchupam hbo max has a bunch of their shows
@@MrTchupam sadly they don’t have the movie
That's because it actually got an ending.
I’ll say adventure time maybe did
My grandmother would watch this show with me when I was younger. She’d watch a lot of cartoons with me but this one always made her laugh the most. She’s so much older and frail now and it saddens me that she’s nearing the end of her life, but memories of watching this show with her will always bring me so much joy.
I think the most unsettling episode to me was the alien one where Jimmy has a dream that aliens steal the cul-de-sac. He believes his dream is coming true when weird lights, smells and sounds come from Rolf's house. The kids rally to fight the aliens, only for it to turn out Rolf's family was visiting.
However, the episode ends with the cul-de-sac actually being stolen by aliens.
I talk about all of that in this video
@@JordanFringe94 Now I feel like a dumbass XD
Love your stuff
lol you're fine, thanks for the support!
The one that scared me is when ed is convinced he's a monster and you don't see what he looks like until the end.
I fondly remember the alien episode Cartoon Network made for all the shows they had running at the time all those years ago, back when Cartoon Network still had a more unified concept of a channel. If that makes any sense.
Y'know, before i found your channel, i remember not liking this show as a kid. i thought that it was grotesque and unappealing. but seeing you talk about it so passionately and seeing the show with a fresh eye, i can see how great it is. thank you for reintroducing me to this great show ~
Thanks for the kind words, and even if you still didn't like the show, that's what makes discourse around TV and Film so fun is that everyone has an opinion and it's okay to disagree! Glad you enjoy the show of course!
I remember the whole "cheese" thing back when they first premiered it and always wondered what the deal was with cheese . nice to discover the reason from this video
Ed, Edd N Eddy was my favorite cartoon growing up and even though a ton Cartoon Network shows are iconic as hell. Nothing beats this show, the animation and writing are timeless.
One of my favorite cartoon shows ever made. The Big Picture Show was a fantastic series finale.
I didn’t grow up in an environment like the show so I often wondered if that’s what having neighborhood friends was like. I could kind of live vicariously through the show, it was fun.
I never knew how Ed, Edd, and Eddy ended, all I knew was it stopped making new episodes and it even got the movie. Might have to rewatch the series
This channel has been needed for a long time and I'm really happy you've taken off. You're doing an amazing job, thank you.
Thanks so much for the support and kind words!
@@JordanFringe94 of course!
Big picture show gave me everything except what was under Double D'S hat. And I'm OK with that
I will forever still wonder what is actually under Double D's hat
One of the great mysteries of life
His head.
@@StonerWaifu yes but what does his hair look like, what’s the shape of his noggin, does he have a conjoined twin on his head, why the hat?!!?
According to the spinning top flash game on the old Cartoon Network website, he has a combover
@@willkriss1497 That game wasnt made by the producers tho its not canon
Nothing will ever come close to being a kid in the early 2000s and watching ed edd n eddy in the living room then going out with my friends in the street (who also all loved the ed boys) back when life was sweet and innocent
I also remember watching these episodes come out at the time. I had started the 9th grade and seeing the movie ending felt really cool to have as I was "growing up". I love the nostalgia from this channel, feels wholesome.
Yes, My favorite Cartoon Network show gets the spotlight. This show really influenced the way I draw.
I love how Ed defeats Eddy's brother with his brain instead of his strenght. Lets be honest if he had any malice he could turn a human into a ball of paper, but that is not his character.
All of Ed Edd n Eddy's endings are poignant and intelligent in their own way. It just goes to show Danny and his team were masters of their craft, creating a show that is just as smart as it is stupid and understanding what they could accomplish with it. The Big Picture Show was the perfect last one, tastefully doing fanservice in all the ways it needed to.
It would be really cool if you covered Code Lyoko. It was a show that appeared on magusi back in the early 2000s. Centered around a group of board school kids who find a factory harboring a supercomputer virus that can manipulate reality in hopes to destroy it. The kids are sent to a virtual world to deactivate towers that are causing havoc in the real world all while trying to bring a girl from Lyoko into the real world. Really cool stuff for it's time and I would love to hear what you have to say about it in a deeper dive.
I'd love to see Jordan's thoughts on Code Lyoko. It had quite an interesting production history.
I loved Code Lyoko as a kid, had such a cool premise.
Favorite show ive rewatched that show sooooooooo many times
When you mention about the supercomputer virus, you mean Xana? That idea was never the case, it has been clarified in the show that Xana was a ai that gained sentience/rouge through Franz hopper's repeated returns to the past. At least I'm pretty sure that what I had said was clarified through the show through franz's video diary.
@@morganrussman i haven't researched it in about 8 years so the finer detailed of the later seasons might be a bit fuzzy. Untill the later seasons I feel like my description is pretty accurate considering that what it is assumed to be untill that plot twist later on after the mentioned diaries are discovered.
It was so cool when channels had an identity and had themed episodes across multiple shows
I remember not knowing this existed till I grew up and when I watched it, it felt like genuine closure from a show that molded my childhood.
I really miss this show. It's one of the few ones I wish would get started up again, but with the original writers and creator being in full control of it. You sir, have earned another subscriber. Keep up the good work!
Holy nostalgia bomb! I feel eddy in the season 4 finale. I’m approaching 30 and I’d give anything to go back to being a kid to be that innocent and stress free. The 2000’s was an awesome time to be a kid.
This show definitely has a special place in my heart, it's one of my all time favorite cartoons. This was really cool to watch, I didn't realize how weird things got after season 4 as far as show development goes, like I had no idea season six was only one episode. Superb video Jordan! I'm gonna rewatch this show now
Thanks so much! I appreciate the support!
The episode where they got Old was legit so surreal and scary to me as a kid.
I loved the show. I saw the deleted scenes! The show ended on a good note.
I always love watching This show so much as a Kid. Ed, Edd n Eddy is one of The most greatest Cartoons I've ever seen in Cartoon Network!
The bit where they go to get chili dogs at the end had hit me so hard at the time, I really did think it was the perfect ending to the series. I'd never really thought of it as a series that had a "heart" to be expressed that way, but when I saw it, it was unmistakable and made it obvious why I'd liked the show all along.
I watched this show as a kid, but grew out of the target audience after a couple seasons. I remember my freshman year of college turning on the T.V. and seeing the movie airing and was shocked the show was still on the air. Not because it wasn't good enough to run that long, but just because kids' cartoons generally don't have such a long lifespan (especially back then).
Ed, Edd n Eddy is quite possibly the only cartoon whose premiere I remember being super excited about. No idea why, but Cartoon Network's promotions for it really caught my attention. The night it was supposed to premiere, though, we had a family event at my aunt's. However, the adults were nice enough to let me break away and go watch it in the other room because they knew how much I wanted to see it.
We NEED more shows like this in the present!🥰😍
I have grown up watching Ed, Edd N Eddy for long time. I have addicted to it. I want more of Ed, Edd N Eddy. I was heartbroken it has ended.
Ed Edd n Eddy is one of if not my favorite comedy shows, but they re-ran the show so much and in different orders that I never thought the old age episode was planned to be the end. I glad they didn't because I like the movie and where it ended much better.
The movie was a perfect way to wrap things up. A great ending. I wish though Johnny got to celebrate with everyone.
Bro thank you literally made me relive some moments I had completely forgotten all about. Ed, Edd, and Eddy was my favorite show growing up and it was badass just seeing a recap of it all.
I just wanna say, I would love to see you cover the alien takeover event at some point. I don't remember a whole lot about it, but I definitely remember it happening, and I remember being very excited to see it. Id love to have my memories fully brought back with that one!
This was easily my favorite CN series. The movie was a perfect capstone.
Me too
Funnily enough, A Fistful of Ed was almost the series finale as well. Especially Eddy’s final line being “Is everyone happy? Good!!”
Big Picture wrapped everything up and shown growth for all the characters. In my eyes that was the best ending it got.
This was an attempt to get kids to stop thinking, "I can't wait until I'm older.", and just enjoy being a kid; before it's too late...
Jordan you have to talk about the Anime opening.
It obviously comes after the end of the show as you see Captain Melon Head, returning as The Gourd for his revenge as the Kankers tear through the Cul-da-sac.
a comment on that video sums it up perfectly:
"I see this as the natural progression after The Big Picture Show. The Kankers, having had their way with Eddys Brother, have now joined forces and returned to the cul-de-sac to wreak havoc upon the kids who opposed them, Eddys Brother for revenge, the Kankers for the sake of chaos. Along the way, The Gourd, a fallen hero-turned-villain and now an outcast, uses this chaos as an opportunity to seek revenge against those who he used to call his friends.
The Eds, having finally been accepted by the rest of the kids, rise up as defenders of the cul-de-sac, with all of their jury-rig science, brute strength, snidely cunning, and the help of ancient artifacts like the boomerang and cursed phone, to protect their friends, save their way of life, and, potentially, remind The Gourd of what he formerly stood for and reawaken the fallen hero known as Captain Melonhead to turn the tide of battle."
I really love the detail of the series starting and ending with Double D labelling things.
0:44 Freud slip in my brain there, I thought you said something else and had to repeat it to make sure I imagined it
I'm right there with you Jordan, this show means a lot to me as well and I'll always be thankful I got to experience this amazing show during my childhood.
This movie was the best ending to the series
To honest I'm kinda glad that Ed, Edd and Eddy ended on such a high note, with the movie addressing every single left pothole we were wondering about, it's like you couldn't ask for more satisfying ending for a well loved cartoon, and though as a kid I was sad that the show had ended but now as an adult I'm kinda glad it did, because if it didn't, no doubt, it would end up exactly like Ben 10 and Spongebob WHICH SHOULD BOTH HAD ENDED WITH THEIR FIRST MOVIE!
Seeing this in my recommended and giving the video a shot brought back a lot of memories from watching this show as a kid. Nostalgia runs deep.
I was 10 when the movie aired I remember me and my brothers begged to stay up late that night so we could watch it definitely some fun memories
Watching this was such a huge blast of nostalgia. Thanks Jordan, really loving the content.
@7:06-7:08 I love the slapstick and visual humor of this show. This moment from the episode still cracks me up to this day!
Can't believe I'll be 30 this year. This analysis made me love this show even more. Thanks so much for the incredible, blissful nostalgic happiness I got from watching this.
Season 5 has a special place in my memory cause my family had just moved back to the first apartment I lived in when I first saw this season, so it's like me and the show were experiencing something new. My first time watching it was in 09 cause we didn't have cable back in 06 so I completely missed it and had no idea it was a rerun lol
I love how you watched all the shows I did growing up, and see that they still stick with you like they do me. Look forward to more of your work
The Big Picture Show really was the best way to end a series.
The payoff of the Eds being accepted by the rest of the culdesac was one of if not the best end to a series, animated or otherwise.
I didn’t know about the original planned ending of season 4, but I’m glad they pushed on and it ended with TBPS.
I remember them doing the all day "Best Day Edder" marathonthat led up to "A Fistful of Ed" which they were marketing as the final episode and even did interviews with Danny Antonucci during the commercial breaks
.
There's a theory that they're actually the ghosts of dead children (the characters) and the cul-de-sac is basically purgatory for them; rendering it haunted.
I always thought it would've been fun to see a brief, actual flash forward to Eds as adults.
I imagine Ed would've become either a horror comic writer or a horror movie writer seeing as how much he loves them.
Double D would be an inventor, obviously.
Eddy I always pictured as becoming a pretty successful politician, seeing as he can tell believable lies like it's nothing.
I remember reading about a fan project called Ed Edd 'n Eddy Working. From what I remember, Ed works as a cameraman for budget horror movies, which lines up perfectly with his taste. Double D becomes a succesful surgeon, and oddly enough warms up to Marie. And Eddy is the head of a huge corporation. Also, Johnny seems to have grown out of his weird habits. He prefers not to discuss Plank, implying him to be an embarrassing phase. Oh and Jimmy's a twink looking guy who sells furniture.
Correction: Eddy is a loan shark, and has been shot on two seperate occasions. Double D had to patch him up both times.
Man, Ed Edd and Eddy was such a good time each week. Cartoon Cartoon Fridays were the mvp. I would love to be a kid again.
I remember the Billy & Mandy, Ed Edd n Eddy, and Camp Lazlo alien invasion episodes as well as the two games on Cartoon Network associated with the special (the adventure game apart of Billy & Mandy where you sneak onto their ship and try to stop the aliens; and the dodgeball game apart of Camp Lazlo), but I never saw the episodes involving aliens in My Gym Partner's A Monkey or Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.
Did u used 2 play the cartoon network games on their website
@@lisaswayne8241 yep
@@RomaroBrandon what about the milsberry game
i like how you’ve been making some longer videos now keep up the good work one day i hope we get an hour long video. also it would be cool if you talked about more fairly oddparents episodes
Although im not 90+ years old that episode hits so much harder now that I just turned 30 recently I had a dream where I was 15 again in my old house playing with my friends and was in a state or euphoria then I woke up which immediately almost sent me into tears.
That’s why I like Stephen’s kings IT. It shows them as kids and adults. Especially the new one.
Ultimately the Paul Boyd loss really took the Ed series away from us because he was big part of production and after the tragedy of his demise there was no way Danny was going to revive the series after the Big Picture Show
Paul Boyd only animated the intro though.
Not gonna lie, season 5 is my favorite. I like the animation more and the episodes have a new setting while staying true to the characters.
My personal favorite episode would have to be the one where the Eds, Kevin, Johny, and Rolf make a bet on who can go the longest without falling for their habbit.
Never did cafeteria food look so good...
Whenever I want to sound cryptic, I say _"The crow caws at midnight..."_
Rolf was full of bangers.
It’s so wholesome how they stay friends for 90 years.
This and KND were the power duo of every weekend when I was growing up
You should Definitely Cover that "INVADED" Thing Because as a 2004 Boy I knew Nothing about this. I saw the Lazlo Episode I saw the
Ed Edd and Eddy episode but I didn't know they were connected...?
Another great one! I love all the inside info we get and just how well your content is done! Keep it up Mr. Fringe!
Thanks so much!!
Loved this age cartoon network in my opinion at the time this was the best kids network💯🖤
I think this is my favorite video of yours. I don't want to watch the entire show to see the ending, and this summary was really nice :)
Since in the official ending, they all became friends (except for Johnny initially), it's possible the original ending is still cannon. Although with real life comparisons... probably not lol. Love the show growing up. And yeah, I can't believe it's been 15 years... where does the time go?
I still remember this series is my favorite of all CN personally... Your video took me back when i was 6 to 10 years old watching and seeing ED, EDD and Eddy ending. Me and my younger brother watched all the seasons had the DVD's cause here in vzla they sold dvd's of the series. My point is this was one of the best series CN had at the time and everytime someone talks about it i cant stay silent cause this was my childhood, even though im 22 i will always love this series and recomend it to a lot of people.
Wonder why Cartoon Network never really put Ed Edd n Eddy in their games.
Oh man I remember all the games they had, from jawbreaker puzzle to Wrestling. They had so many games from the old cartoons. The website got a rework and they removed all the old games…
I swear I remember them saying on TV that be alien episode with Jimmy's nightmare was advertised as the series finale but no one ever seems to remember this
*Ed, Eddie, n' Eddy* will always be one of my favorite T.V. shows. 😎
This show was such a big part of growing up, its weird seeing you go over shows and movies from the early 2000s, because I can see all the little things I like today, and where those interests were born
There is this channel called Peach Creek it serves as a fan-made sequel to the show. If you've seen it I would like to know if you think EENE needs a continuation of the story Fringe.
Dear god I forgot how good the last episode was. Thank you for unearthing this almost lost memory.
I really liked seasons five through six. I don’t know why, but it kind of makes me feel bad that there are people who really don’t like those seasons. They will even go as far to say that people should skip them entirely because they are not “truly Ed Ed and Eddy” 🙁 I hated going to school growing up, so seeing the Ed’s and a school environment made me relate to them on a very deep level.
I feel like it's worth mentioning Clone Wars in this series, just because of it having 3 endings in 3 different places.
Haven't finished the video yet but, I'm aware of the reasons the last season ended abruptly.. I don't like remembering it, but I'm glad the creators made that last episode remarkable, referencing one of the animators.. Just telling you the importance of safety. Though, I see the movie as the perfect finale where they managed to wrap up almost everything.. (We still don't know what's under Edd's cap, and what the heck is Jonny doing becoming a villain..) The most beautiful thing you can notice, is how the characters actually developed. Specially Eddy, who finally got what he always asked for, recognition. I'm sure he completely changed his mindset after that one moment.
You're giving me nostalgia overload!!! I was glued to the TV back during this time! This was my favorite show for so long! Even the commercial transitions is a beautiful touch. I remember them all!!!! I miss those days! Time is definitely FLYING.
Ah, a relic from the era of when CN still had good cartoons.
This is awesome, I had no idea the invaded special was originally hosted by kraft before they bailed. It makes so much sense and I never even noticed the recurring cheese themes!
