Ed, Edd n Eddy stars >a self-centered, egotistical asshole who scams his fellow man >a holier than thou know-it-all that uses big words just to make himself sound smart>a complete retard with no sense of hygiene All are socially inept losers with zero self-awareness The creator has gone on record to say that every Ed is based on himself Why would you write a show about assholes and admit you're the asshole you're writing is he stupid
>>154203534Because it’s funny
>>154203534you dorks wouldnt last five minutes watching a five minute synopsis of Achilles
He thought kids would like it,
>>154203534Because a show about nice, well adjusted kids wouldn't be funny.
>>154203534It's a cartoon
>>154203534>Why would you write a show about assholes and admit you're the asshole you're writing is he stupidBecause the Eds almost ALWAYS get their comeuppance in some way throughout the episode, so despite the slapstick and aggressive personalities of some of the characters, it was unironically a good lesson for kids in how NOT to act. Nobody should actually aspire to be the Eds, because all their scams ultimately fail. Someone with that kind of life experience would know best.
>when it comes down to it the eds stick together and never leave an ed behind>ambition to create genuinely impressive feats of engineering and art>25 cents for an elaborate fantasy novelty isn't that much of a scam>the only two kids that aren't complete dicks/bitches are on nominally good terms with themthe eds aren't that bad off.
>>154204646>25 cents for an elaborate fantasy novelty isn't that much of a scamThat always struck me as odd/amusing - almost every single thing the Eds did to earn money was pretty legitimate entertainment/services. I honestly don't know if I can come up with a straight up "scam" of theirs.

Double D’s VA said his favorite line is “IS THAT THE SUPPORT BEAM TO THE HOUSE?!”And I think that’s awesome.
>>154203534That's just how it was as a kid back in the day. Kids are dumb assholes
>>154204646>>154204886The 25 cents thing was probably a deliberate anachronism given the show's timeless atmosphere because I don't think it bought you much even in 1999
>>154206535>decent sized jawbreaker costs $18I hate inflation
>>154203962Got that right, bucko.
