Ed, Edd n Eddy: Middle School Hustlers and Summertime Shenanigans

To be honest , be honest , I'm glad you have you on and of course , we have Professor Tuck , the retired Naito Kaga . You know what ? I'm kind of surprised that you didn't decide to call yourself the king of the cold set , but that's all good .

Because , I'm gonna be honest with you , it's one of those shows to where you can like have a day off , maybe ideally like a Saturday , like you just wake up , just put on some cartoons like Ed and Eddie , with some cereal and some shit and , you know , just make a whole day out of it .

Well , not the whole day , but at least a morning emphasis on the cereal , though yeah , like something like for me personally , like I can eat cinnamon toast crunch and apple jacks hey , that's a fact .

Any episode , any time , you can just pick up and watch it , you know I mean any episode , anytime you can just pick up and watch it from where it's at . Oh yeah , just change the channel . Oh shit , and eddie on . Let me go ahead and watch it , you'll be done .

In fact , most of these episodes , if not all episodes , are one shots , so you can just literally watch ed and eddie like you're not missing much . It's like just a typical shenanigans that you can expect from these characters . And before we get into these characters , apocrypha how do you feel about Ed and Eddie in general , since Tuck already went ahead ?

You know it looks like everybody's kind of squiggly . If that makes sense , it's like it always looks like it's in motion but other than the art , I don't know . It's one of those shows where it's hard to really put it in words . There was just something different about it compared to like a lot of the other cartoons .

It had a distinct art style , for sure yeah , it wasn't the only show on my cartoon network that adults could enjoy , but I feel like it was . I would say it's like one of the best that I feel like .

hold on . That went over my head as a kid ?

He might be on to something , he may not . It's like the 80-20 rule with our Ed . To where it's like 80% of the shit he says it's like kind of nonsensical , it's almost like okay , whatever . But then 20% of the time he's sneaking some shit to where I'm like Hold on , let him cook . Oh yeah , rolf too .

To where you know how the way he insults people and shit , like your garden is overgrown and your cucumbers are soft and I was like wait a minute , that could have been like a diss that went over my head . Like man Rolf was playing like 4D chess when it came to the burns and shit . I'm like you didn't understand what you were saying up until adulthood .

Where I'm like hold on , like my adult brain is kicking into . Where like oh , oh , man , like I just love how you revisit shit as an adult and you're just like , okay , I'm starting to notice on some things that I kind of noticed as a kid , and then there were some things where it just took me a few rewatches , you know .

But , um , let's go ahead and get into the characters . Now we got Eddie the leader , the main con man who's ego fueled and always wanted the money . He's the main one chasing the bag and shit . I mean , hold on , like he has a brother to him . Oh man , we gotta talk about the big picture show .

That got me like at the end because , uh , the big picture show , like that was like the most canonical shit of all . Like I said , there's not a whole lot of continuity , but the big picture show is when you see the running gad of eddie's brother being teased throughout the whole show and then you're like , oh shit , you have to get to meet him .

Uh , double d . You know the smart , prodigious type on kid who's like all into morals and organization and whatnot . You know he gotta have a label maker for everything he has . Uh , he got this ant farm and shit . Uh , always wearing this sock over his head where you never really know what he's wearing . But honestly , I just think it's braids .

Like come on , like just I can believe it's braids and I don't know why . Um , unless you know , it's like a low-key black culture joke to where you know , when you have braids you gotta make sure you got like a do-rag on and I guess with him it's a sock . So I can honestly believe that .

Better if it was like that , but I I feel you talk yeah yeah like , yeah , I keep that um wave cap on you so I I can get in that aspect , but we never get to see what's under there .

So I'm like , but the way it's like you know the three strands of hair , kind of like what eddie has on top of his head , but uh , with double d is like the three strands at the bottom , I'm like thinking like hold on , it could be braids , so I'm not going to fall for that .

Like you gotta keep a wave cap on that shit , even when edwin's like , does it hurt ? Double d , I'm like , yeah , like especially new braids . Like , yeah , like especially like tenderhead and this shit , like don't be touching my brace shit . Well , like they just got done yeah and then you got big ed .

Man , listen , like I said , ed said some dumb shit a lot , but sometimes he said some shit to where I'm like , hold on , he might be on to something . And then another thing that I like about ed is that gorilla strength um between him and sarah . I'm like bro , like what the fuck are they feeding these kids like ? Is it like genetic or some shit ?

Like , are they taking , like some putting some sort of like steroids into their food ? Like what is going on with these kids ? Because , like I know , like rolf , like I can't imagine rolf um getting strong through uh , manual labor , you know , being a foreign farm boy and shit .

But uh , ed and double d I mean not double d uh , ed and sarah like they don't lift weights , they don't really do work . So how the fuck are they that , ed and Double D I mean not Double D Ed and Sarah like they don't lift weights , they don't really do work . So how the fuck are they that ?

So first of all , I want to say we got kevin you know the job bully type character always calling the ed boys dorks , which which is , uh , fair enough . Wait , hold on real quick before I forget

. There was this one episode where Double D was assigned to deliver the report card to the parents and Eddie and Double D I mean shit , eddie and Ed was trying to stop him and ultimately they did . He did manage to get the report card to the parents .

But the one thing I noticed now , like you kind of see Ed's mom's arm and Eddie's dad's arm grabbing him , trying to punish him and shit . But with Eddie's dad I'm like bro , he remind me of what's his face . I think it was Harold Pataki from hey Arnold , the way that he grabbed him . I'm like hold on that , look like , because I was thinking like the .

It was Harold Pataki from hey Arnold , the way that he grabbed it . I'm like hold on that , look like , because I was thinking like the green shirt and the watch and whatnot . I don't know , we're going to do a hey Arnold review eventually , anyways , but for some reason I just thought of that re-watching this show .

I said Kevin , and I kind of allude to Raw , where you know , foreign farm boy , always like with these roasts and these sayings and whatnot . Nas , nas was the pretty girl on the block , you know , the girl that all the boys want to get with .

Nah , she must be digging me , dog . I'm like , no , no , she's just being friendly . Nah , see , that's how you can tell when you like , not getting a whole lot of actions when you keep thinking , oh , just because a girl is talking to you , she must be feeling you . Nah , it's not like that , my dudes . Sometimes it just be like platonic .

But sometimes you know they might surprise you . It just depends on how they apply pressure . It's like you'll , but sometimes you know they might surprise you . It just depends on how they apply pressure . It's like you'll know , you'll know .

But uh , anyways , uh , I said now so jimmy , jimmy , kind of like double d , kind of like the softy , you know , sarah's best friend . But , um , I'm gonna be honest with y'all re-watching this shit , I was thinking I can kind of imagine jimmy being on the um , the uh , the other team , if you know what I mean .

Yeah , like he was getting , he was getting me those vibes , honestly .

You know like , um , whatever your head can it might be , you know like how , um , with uh , fucking , uh , what's her face from rugrats , uh , bill and lil's moms , where it was alluded to of course yeah , she was like that , but uh , it wasn't until the reboot that they made it confirmed .

Same thing with velma , from all scooby-doots where people made it sound like , oh , she could be , but now they're making it more obvious . So that's all I'm saying . It's where it's like . I'm not saying they were , but they were giving me those kind of vibes . But I didn't hate . But you know , I'm just saying , just calling it like I see it .

Uh , johnny , now johnny's this weirdo who has this piece of wood playing asses . I want to say imaginary friend , but you know , can't really say he is Well to say , plank is . No , that's what I'm saying . To say Plank is imaginary is like saying Jib is imaginary .

You remember Jib from when Ed made that imaginary friend , but it was like you're thinking , well , hold on , jib is invisible , but but nah , he was kicking eddie's ass on and at the end of it . So I'm like , hold on , is jip real ? It'd be like that fucking um bear from teen titans .

You know , when raven had to make that mission to escort these three toddler superheroes and the girl had this invisible bear , and then it wasn't until the end of the episode that the bear appeared . He was like holy shit , he was real . So , yeah , either way , johnny was the weirdo on the block .

Uh , yeah , other than that , the last , but not definitely not least , we got the cankers . And , bro , listen , I had my theories with the cankers , because you know how they got it paired off to where you have Ed and may , you have uh , double d and marie , and then you have eddie with lee . And hear me out on this one , it could work .

It could work because , you know , first of all , since the ed boys aren't related , they're just friends that happen to have the same name , we'll spell it differently . To an extent , the tankers can marry each of the Ed boys and the Eds will become brother-in-laws . Second of all , as far as compatibility , yeah , that'd be crazy , isn't it ?

Yeah , but second of all , with compatibility , I think that can work too . Now hear me out , ed and May Ignorant , excuse me , blissfully ignorant .

Uh , double d and marie , that can work , because you know , eventually it's gonna be like double d is like this nerd who's dating this goth girl and the goth girl is gonna be like that aggressive well , not really aggressive , more like assertive to where she's going to be .

That one girlfriend that I pull up to the counter at McDonald's and be like he said no pickles . And then Eddie and Lee , that can work , because those are going to be the ones where it's going to be that typical , oh , y'all fight , like y'all are an old married couple and it's like shit , we might as well be .

But hey , once again , just like with Ed and May , they just make it work . But the only difference is they just argue a lot . I can see it . I can see it .

Uh , but eddie lied about being cool because eddie just wanted to be cool himself . But , but , that's pretty much the characters . Let's go ahead and talk about the highlights . Tuck , what are some of your favorite moments from Ed and Eddie ?

Ed can really play off the whole monster Horror movie shit To a point where he captured Almost everybody except Sarah , but she ends up getting trapped in the whole monster uh horror movie shit to a point to where he captured almost everybody except sarah , but she ends up getting trapped in the whole uh chunky puff uh trap that he had going on .

Uh , he captured just about everybody except the . Uh , eds and sarah just came up from behind them and unmasked them and I was like eds , like you know what I mean .

Like bro , like Sarah , always like , for the most part she's I want to say she's not always yelling , but once again , 80-20 rule like most of the time she's yelling yeah , that's why it's good for her to be paired up with another character that didn't hardly ever yell yeah , jimmy , like that's that that the episode where Jimmy got mad bruh Jimmy got mad and

started fighting .

I was like Jimmy , come on , bro , you don't got the heart for this , bro , you don't want these problems bro .

, bro , you don't want to do this . And what's that episode ? When they got stuck ? When they got stuck on the um kokugatsu , what's up ?

It was like , oh , that's most definitely the Kanker sisters , because if the . S did to the Kanker sisters what they did to them . I don't believe that's statutory rape . That's not statutory , but that's right . That's the heavy charges , that's the literally .

Come on that one scene , literally , where ed gets taken back by , uh , lee canker , he wants to get taken back by lee and double d is literally sitting there . You can see the look on his face and all you can hear is holy shmoly and you like just all the weird noises oh , hold on .

It took him some encouragement . Ironically , he was the most reluctant to do it Because he was scared yeah . I know he was the most scared , but that's the thing . If he had just tightened up , the whole thing would have went perfectly . But Lee noticed it and I was like , uh-uh , these niggas faking it .

So my wife actually does not like the show , but she understands some of the major plot points that's in there . That really makes people question . As a kid you don't think about it like that , but they're showing a and nitty now back on tv again .

What I mentioned about the whole tanami cartoons and stuff , and when we had talked about the fact tanami is going back playing some old school anime now , but it was like they already started playing the old school cartoons . So they play ed and eddie about four o'clock every monday through friday , every day .

So literally we go back and watch some of them episodes and ed be going through some shit because , keep in mind , to this , ed has his own room right in the basement . But then we had a time when they had to babysit sarah and during that time they're going through the house . You find out that they live in like a four-bedroom house .

Why is ed in the basement then ? and then not only that , ed got in trouble and got punished and they removed the stairs from the basement so he was stuck down there . So I'm like someone had pointed out , do you understand how angry you have to be to rip it , to literally be ripping off ? That's not an easy task . That's ours .

You have to be pissed for hours still doing it like this motherfucker ain't gonna get these stairs here but no , like you ain't going nowhere . You ain't going nowhere , just literally ripping these stairs out . That's the same level of petty

. I think .

I saw a meme like a thing one time before a lady talked about she had gotten to a divorce and her ex-husband had um , stole the covers , stole the wall , sockets out the walls , ripped the carpet off the ground in the entire house and it's like that's that level of pain yeah , there was another dude where , essentially , yeah , he got divorced and he , he's the

one that , like um , pretty much put down the flooring and whatnot , the uh hardwood floor and whatnot , and he , yeah , fucking , ripped that shit up and it's like so I'm just sitting here like , but y'all would do this to your own , like I . I understand you have a timeout punishment , but you ripped out the state . He is literally trapped down there .

He can't get out for nothing it was hungry , couldn't ? They didn't give him no food , they just left to work . He can't get up to the kitchen , like I mean it's probably because it's ed . They're like , well , he's gonna find a way up .

Another one was like the one like in old times back when you had to stuff them revolvers , like back during Civil War times , if dudes got messed up and their wives had shot them , them things was not easy to load . You had to pour the gunpowder in pour the pellet . Josh Johnson , the comedian . He wound up talking about it . He was like you gotta stuff it .

That's not a quick thing . You got to be angry for a long time to make sure that you do it , and do it correctly , and then sit and wait . That's a long time . You got to be angry .

That's a funny thing too , the way I know , koki , I see you relate to this , but I pretty much have my theory to where it can actually work between the eds and the cankers in a weird way . But hear , me out on this one On this episode , the one with the Canadian squirt guns . They call them .

You know they're turkey basters , but I like how yeah , they were like playing it off , like they were like squirt guns , but then the cankers rolled up and was like kind of like busting up their flow and shit , and then essentially they had like this uh spaghetti western showdown , uh at sundown .

And then my favorite part about that whole was when double d had that gatling gun and I was like , oh I feel it , I feel it look , I think we did talk .

And we had , we pretty much kind of read , mostly phineas and ferb , but it was still pretty creative how it is that the ads were able to put shit together the way they did , because theirs looks like some kids who found some shit in a backyard of a neighborhood and just figured it out together , type of thing , versus Phoenix and Ferb looked like they had

professional training . It's like how they built this shit together .

Well , johnny went ballistic and wanted like try to get everyone away , thought he was a superhero . It was a whole thing , and so that there was so many crazy inventions that the Eds did .

So I don't know if y'all had already talked about it or not , but the two guys that made ed netting they this . The stories were very , very loosely obviously , but were based on their real life experiences .

The both of them actually grew up in cul-de-sac and they were pretty much Ed and double D per se and they would literally like try to do all types of stuff to try to get some money , try to always get stuff done .

So a lot of the cul-de-sac adventures were based on some shit that they really tried to do or ideas that they had , and so they were able to put it to life in the cartoon . So it's based on their real lives , which is very interesting in itself and that's what kind of brings forth a lot of like those good moments into it .

But when it came down for the school points it was like there was too much that was kind of happening and they didn't know how to put it all Into the episodes . So a lot of the school episodes just started falling short , because it was one of those ones that , first off , most people didn't want to be reminded .

Most kids didn't want to be reminded of school . When you're watching Nittany Nittany , this is the summer break , spring break , this is just the fun break time that we're having . But to be reminded , oh , we have to go to school . Oh , everyone has to go to school . That reminder already didn didn't do much to help out with the ratings .

But then also the fact that the episodes were not that interesting , because most of the stuff that we're remembering and quoting is from the cul-de-sac . I can't really remember much when they were in school , except for , like every now and again , some weird stuff that would happen when they were in the cafeteria together .

And I like how Sarah Fucking Hit Naz with a fucking toilet . Then Naz pretty much pulled back up with a fucking bullet tissue box and Zero was like man what that going to do ? She came back with a fucking car and fucking yo , that fucking gorilla shrimp God damn Hold on Pig piggybacking off what koki gossip was saying .

It's funny , it's wild how it seems like in a way phoenix and ferb perfected the whole summer vacation formula . To where the thing was with ed and netty , I want to say it was more like a prototype .

Um , well , not really a prototype because you know it's not like they were like working together , but the whole point being is more like with ed and netty , yes , you were thinking like the whole time it was like summer vacation because they were never really going to school up until the last season or so , uh , but with phoenix and ferb .

It was purely during that summer vacation and while ed , ed and Nettie was making inventions to scam their neighbors out of their money so they can buy jawbreakers or whatnot . Oh , man , you know what ? That one episode where they had those fruit popsicles , those giant fruit popsicles with the fruit inside them . Man , I would have wanted one of those .

You remember the frozen cut lady ?

She had to ring the doorbell and wait for her to come to the door . Um , so there was a whole oh man this be with . oh , bro , bro . That's like no pusher man vibes , but for kids , literally . She wound up getting so much business because she sold everything , so we had another lady . You had to hurry up and get it . You had to hurry .

She was the biggest one , not just on our street and just around the corner , it was like the five streets over both sides . She was the one that all the kids went to . Ms B had it and it wound up getting so bad was the one that all the kids went to , if you like , miss b .

Miss b had it and they want to get so bad to the point that they had a police officer went to her house and issued a cease and desist and the reason being was because there was a corner store a little bit further down and they were losing business because she would go to sam's club , buy the shit in bulk and be selling it to the kids and she would sell

it for cheaper than that gas station . So the gas station wasn't making no business because they didn't sell gas , they only sell . It was just a convenience store , they only sold snacks and shown up .

They literally filed a whole thing , called the police and had had an issue of cease and desist because she didn't have a license to sell and technically she's running a business with how much money she was making . So it was like , oh , so that's the reason why she actually had to stop , which really sucked . I was like bro , that's .

Miss B went far , enough , went far . She made money Like hell . We paid off her car . We paid off her fucking car . I think she went from a full time job To part time because she was making just that much money Selling snacks on the corner . I was like , bro , what the hell I can't do that when I'm mad .

Um , there's also , like , key points for every single character was written a very specific way and it addressed specific issues for each person . So , obviously , eddie eddie had a big issue regarding his big brother and that spawned the biggest controversy .

That one , the episode , the very last episode , not even the big picture show , not even the movie , the actual very last episode when Eddie finally met his brother , because remember , it was like seasons , like what was like eight seasons for the whole show and a whole and a movie .

Yo , six , six and a movie right , and all the time eddie would be talking about his big brother's big brother and finally we get that final episode where he finally gets a chance to meet , when he runs to his big brother for help , and there's so many things and there's a whole breakdown episode of how this was the most detrimental moment in the show and it

made a . And there was a reason they made this the last episode . It was for a particular reason . They kept building up all that shit . And again , remember , I told you this was based on a real life thing from the writers , because one of the writers I told you he's like Eddie . He doesn't have a good relationship with his brother .

His brother's been in and out of jail all the time and this is a very big thing and that was literally what Eddie's brother was . It's the fact that , keep in mind to this , when eddie finally runs to that trailer and he meets his brother , he's talking to his brother . The first thing his brother says eddie , what are you doing here ?

Does mom know you're here ? Because one of the biggest things about it is that you wind up hearing like bits and notes about it where like um , fucking , uh , god damn , I can't remember the dude's name , the dude with the bike .

I don't like him anyway kevin , I don't like kevin no one likes kevin , um , but even kevin had , like he did mention one time before about eddie's brother used to be there and kind of run shit but then he wound up leaving suspiciously and no one really knows like kind of just like left all of a sudden .

And so you get like little subtle hints from stuff that Eddie winds up mentioning about some of the shit that his brother would do and you would literally be like some of that shit sounds criminal , like some of the shit sound like not just a comment , but sound like that's not like some shit that you would go to jail for and you really start listening to it

and those subtle things were there on purpose . So then when you finally meet his brother , his brother's greeting isn't even to protect his little brother . He sees his little brother , his immediate thing is to beat the shit out of him in the worst way possible in front of everyone .

And the ads get beat up all the time by everybody , but it's usually over shit that they do . Everyone literally just saw Eddie see his brother talk to his brother like , yeah , they're coming after me , oh really . And then just dog the shit out of him and then pretty much tell him you know you're not supposed to come here .

Don't ever bring your ass back and just leave him like that . And it was that moment everybody felt bad because it was just like you always talked up hype onto your brother . And then Eddie came to that point .

He's like you know , I always talked up hype on my brother , but I think it was just the fact that I missed him , but I couldn't remember that he really just was not a good person and there was a whole purposeful dynamic in that .

And then eventually the kids started standing up to him and to a point to where Ed kind of I think he was accidentally or purposely he ripped the door off the hinges and it was like kind of flung back to where accidentally like hit Eddie's brother real hard and he just got knocked out and that was just pretty much it to where he's knocked out , and that was

just pretty much it's where he's knocked out . They went back home and they had this whole thing to where . Oh yeah , the kids like us now and it only took 130 episodes , four specials in the movie . They actually said that canonically that's how I remember it did .

And , um , in naturality , yeah , like , um , I feel it's one of those things to where , okay , the jig is up . Uh , I can't fake it anymore .

In naturality , I have a shitty relationship with my brother , but , like I just said , uh , I just want y'all to think I was cool by having a cool brother , to where , you know , he's always getting to these shenanigans and shit .

You know like , you know my brother's always uh being , uh , you know , like a little trickster , blah , blah , blah and all that , all that different shit .

You know , like with his , um , his room , the fact that he have a car inside the fucking room and his bed is the car yeah because he got all of his brother's stuff and so , just like you know , you got everything .

I feel like I'm cool , I feel like I could be cool like him , yeah but , yeah , I do feel that one part to where you said that he kind of blocked out some memory , because in a way it's like he's been gone for a while , so it's more like he can spin this tale to where .

Oh , I just pretend that he was actually this cool guy and I'll just use that as this sort of shield to where , if anybody fuck with me then I'll just say oh well , my brother , be back . Oh , hold on Chill out bro .

That's why I'm like , that's why I don't just subscribe to like being like a compulsive liar , because sometimes you lie so much that you start believing your own bullshit exactly , exactly , and then , um , so double d , because this beyond double d has like immense intelligence , but double d wants of suffering from perfectionism and the point that everything has to be

organized , everything has to be pristine , everything has to be perfect , but we never really get a chance to see much . As far as about double d's parents , but we do understand that double d's parents are , I guess , um , I don't , they don't really explain what their jobs .

But that was the thing with Double D's parents , where they were probably so busy with their job . The only thing they can do is leave all those fucking sticky notes everywhere you know like just to remind them like , oh , do this , do that , blah , blah .

You know like , in reality , I feel like double d , I'm honestly convinced that unless um , his parents uh come back home like really late at night , and then even then , by the time they come late at night , they only have a few hours to like rest and shit before they're right back out .

There to a point to where I'm honestly convinced that um , double D pretty much live alone For the most part . Like I mean , they're there , but are they really though ?

So I would never really see her like that , like only time I see her is like right before I go to school , and I wouldn't see her until pretty much it's almost time for me to go to eat dinner and go to bed . So I can attest as far as like even Double D in those moments . There are parents that had that .

Plus , if the writers that wrote that show keep in mind , they were probably they were like in their 20s and 30s , which goes even further back , so they were in like the 70s per se , when that time they were growing up .

That would make sense into the fact that parents would be working late , because that was a major thing of the american dream was that parents would never see their kids .

The kids would go to school , come home to a babysitter , which we know double d had to babysit every now and again , apparently like naz would babysit or like eddie naz would babysit eddie , I think too I'm like I don't think that was canonical with for double d , but I definitely remember when um , yeah , eddie .

And I'm like , but , bro , like , hold on , like Naz is older , old enough or mature enough to babysit the other kids Mature enough .

So WD would be by himself most of the time and he's trying to figure things out . You could tell most of the shenanigans he never really wants to be on . They just drag him into it . Wd is also also the one , the ones that oh , you know what that ?

I want to say Ricky's like A perfect blend of Ed and Eddie . And then Julian is more like Eddie in the sense of he's the shot caller , you know like he's the play caller , you know like he's , uh , the playmaker , you know that sort of . Thing like uh .

But yeah , I kind of feel that dynamic and ed and eddie um same with uh trailer park boys where it seems like uh , it's always the intellectual one that's like , hey , man , I'm not trying to get involved in all this .

But Saitama's not really dumb , but the way he's hitting the gym he might as well have the same gorilla strength as Big Ed . And then I can kind of see playboy as eddie . In a sense I just kind of see that on him . And then you're double d by default , because you know , uh , of course I am .

But it's also that moment of like he's kind of almost locked away , like his sister is always in the house , she has free range and always in the house , but he's usually always confined and she's always the one that's having to like be in charge , looking after him , even though she's much younger as well too .

So it's literally that , that point of like the play on to the special ed part of him .

I'm telling mom exactly , and so the only people that actually treat the only the only time he gets treated like he's actually a person is when he's with Eddie and Double D Like Eddie does want to take an advantage , but Eddie still acknowledges the fact that Ed is a person , even when Double D is like you should ask for Ed's advice , ask for Ed's input , and

it's like , yeah , eddie's like , yeah , ok , so , ed , what do you think about it ? Like , what do you think we should do ? Type of thing , ed , how do you feel about this Ed ? Are you prepared ?

And it's like he gets treated like a person by his friends and obviously from you seeing in his living standards and seeing how his sister treats him , there is absolutely no , he does not get treated , it doesn't feel as if he gets treated like that by his family and it's one of those things of like .

That's another major point of how they kind of pointed out this characteristic and how they wrote out this character . And in fact there's a reason Ed is always ready to leave per se and of course you know we have the two most pristine , perfect people in the cul-de-sac is Naz and Kevin .

Have the two most pristine , perfect people in the cul-de-sac is naz and kevin like the , the mature , um , blonde haired girl who's who's like , the best and the one that everybody loves . Everyone's in love with her . She's always so cool and shit , kevin , he's the cool boy who never has to want for anything . Hell . He has the most expensive he had .

He's the only one with a bike , everyone's gotta walk around , but he can ride his bike around and do all types of cool tricks and shit . I don't like Kevin , sorry .

Essentially , he saw all those jawbreakers from all over the world and I'm like , bro , really like all these countries making jawbreakers , I mean I guess , I guess I mean for that child fantasy , um , but goddamn , when you think about it , like sometimes I nah , nah , fuck it because like those jawbreakers , bro , like big as hell , like's as big as your head , and

I'm like it just kind of crazy the way they go . I'm putting them in their mouths like that . It's like everybody's . Oh , she's just gonna be like no , did it just gotta get him in your mouth .

Johnny has a major attachment to Plank , and so it's not canonical because we only see what his attachment is supposed to be based on the my best friend plank video music video that they made where apparently it was like plank was someone that he befriended when he was really little . He just kind of kept that attachment to plank .

But it's also that moment that like , um , there's obviously still something going on with johnny too and the fact that he truly believes that Plank is real . Honestly , I think Plank's possessed with some real shit , but that's just me .

Yeah , I can't seem to Fippy . From Jimmy G . You know , hugh , when he when seen this uh hippie from uh jimmy . You know , hugh , when he uh where . Yeah , at first it seemed all cool and all , but then it you just kind of tell that the public was possessed somehow . So it could be there , true ?

Johnny doesn't like there's a whole thing to the point he has to have an outer consciousness to think about stuff .

Rolf is fine by himself , but he can still hang out with Kevin and Naz Every now and again . You occasionally see Rolf with him all the time , and then , if you don't see him , with him he's busy working on his family farm and doing shit . Yeah , and then of course you know you got Jimmy and Sarah . Those two are always hanging out .

Aside from being close enough in age range , they play together type of thing , and johnny doesn't fit . He's the one that stands out even though we focus on ed boys being like kind of excluded .

Johnny is excluded in a different way because the fact that , like , they can hang out with johnny , but you can also see in multiple episodes whenever Johnny's constantly talking to Plank , the kids look kind of weirded out . Sarah's the only one that really speaks out about it . She's like you , really talking to that piece of wood .

That piece of wood is not real right , which you know . A lot of men can attest to this with me as well . Little girls be ruthless . They be straightforward on shit . They don't sugarcoat nothing . All little girls be ruthless . They be straightforward on shit . They don't sugarcoat , nothing .

Uh , no , why is this like this ? And I'm like , oh , you asking the real questions ? Okay , hold on a second , let me prepare myself . But yeah , no , little girls , they don't hold nothing back . They'll be rude and be like that's just what it is . That's what my little girl told me the other day . I don't like you talking back to me .

I was like what I said ? Wait a second man , little girl , you're five , wait , when did we get here ? Wait a second . But it does exist for real . And so that's Sarah . Sarah is that five year old little girl that will say what comes to her mind first and not care . That's just how she is , that's just what we get .

But then there's also the point of for Jimmy . Jimmy is the one I would say . He has to be told what to do . Jimmy cannot think for himself , for nothing .

I remember it was like a 30 minute long episode to where it had something to do with Emperor Flo and Jujubee .

Yeah , that Like Like .

Like you know that sippy fighting that , um , nerds do to where they're not really fighting it's more like , um , they're kind of like flailing their arms out while they're trying to make it look like they don't hit me Like don't hit me don't hit me , but they're just flailing their arms .

You know , like how Dexter and Mandarik fight sometimes , where they're just slapping each other's hands . That's what it looks like . That's the shit .

It took a while before they finally found out that he was the one because Double D was confused . Double D was like yeah , no , it's definitely him , it's definitely got to be something like this . He's like no , it's like something just seems off . I can't piece it together the proper way .

And it's like imagine Sherlock Holmes being like it's a case that he's actually having trouble solving type of thing , because Jimmy puts himself in that point that he's always so innocent and can't do anything for himself , and then he plays that role so perfectly for us what I told you .

It's always that one motherfucker that's been way too quiet for too long . It's almost like uh-uh motherfucker , you've been left unchecked way too long . As far as I know , you could be the one unchecked way too long , like as far as I know , you could be the one . But you know like they always try to dismiss the person . That's like the least likely .

But then that's when they get , uh , get away with it .

Where uh like fucking um thornhill uh , I think that was her name and on wednesday , to where y'all were like saying , oh well , we didn't spit on Thornhill until the Red Boots , and I'm like , nah , like I had her figure it out the moment she figured out how to open the fucking um stone doors with um two snaps Like wait , hold on .

How does a normie know that ? I'm like uh , I'm on to you now . I'm on to you now , lady .

I mean , you obviously look at where they live at and based on , like , because in fact they each have different dads . It's been confirmed because that whole the first time the heads meet them , they're like oh , these are our dads , uh , these are our dads roles , and each one had different names on it stuff .

So they all have the same mom but different dads none of the dads seem to be the same .

And so it's like holy shit , you're actually sisters .

the same class . So it's like , yeah , it's like yeah , it's literally the whole portrayal of their mom is trailer park trash . She's in a trailer in a trailer park and yeah , they ain't got no dad that takes care of them , because they're always having to take care of themselves . There's always the eldest one .

That is the one that obviously is one that takes care , because I think we do see one episode where , like the other sisters are asking her if she finished making dinner yet , type of things . It's like I'm working on it . You're gonna eat whatever the fuck I make you .

What she's gonna say , you're gonna eat whatever it is I make you , I swear I'll be thinking that they're gonna be cussing for real , though , but um , and it's like they have to , like , deal with what they can . Plus , also , one small detail is something that you can really pay attention to as well , too . The Ed's were unfamiliar with powdered milk .

Powdered milk was an option , was the option that you would get when milk would go bad very quickly . So if you got milk it will just leave in the fridge . Milk goes bad pretty quickly . If you're not drinking this stuff but having powdered milk , you just mix it with some water and then you drink it . It doesn't taste good .

From my understanding , I've never had it . But I know of it is something to help last a much longer time because of the fact that their mom is never there . So it's like they're literally having to live on their own , like constantly having to take care of just themselves .

So it kind of understands the aspect of it's a possibility that their mom might have portrayed herself as always having to go fight to try to find a man . Because you can see that with the sisters and the fact that they're always like we need to find a man to take care of us .

Like they've actually said that and , um , it's like a big thing for them the fact like , oh , we need to find a man that can take care of us you know it's a man's job to take care of us , type of thing . And it's like did y'all get that from your mom ? Like is that ? Oh , like .

So when you understand that dynamic , it kind of makes sense why they're so fucking crazy and do the shit that they do .

in the beginning . You weren't here for this , kokugasu .

But uh , oh yeah , the reverse psychology , uh episodes where they had to pretend that , um , the heads had to pretend to light the girls just to get them , leave them alone and like , of course , like I said uh earlier to where eddie , he buckled , so , uh , lee caught on and realized that , oh , they just playing .

But , um , it is really funny how , like , in actuality , that has some real world applications where I learned the hard way to where , as a dude , you can't act too eager like they . They just it's just like what the hell is wrong with you . Like this doesn't sound genuine at all . But then it just seems like not always , but more often , do you think ?

It just seems like some of the girls always go for the dude . That's like , eh well , you know , I don't , I mean , I'm gonna say they don't care , but like it's one of those things where , oh well , you know , gotta , uh , the man gotta have uh less feelings for the girl . It's some weird shit , but I don't really believe that shit . That's that was amazing .

You feel like dating nowadays it's just , if you are in a marriage or in a relationship already , like I said before on the podcast , hold on to that shit like grim death because I'm figuring shit out to where I'm like , bro , like this , the way they go about things is so fucking crazy .

But yeah , the whole point being is that , like you were saying with , if the roles were reversed , yeah , that would be very problematic , but then again , it's just crazy how that works .

But it's one of those things and I didn't have so much a foreign exchange but his family moving to amer , trying to make a life but still trying to take care of themselves , him constantly reminiscing about the old country pretty much in his understanding .

Still , when you understand where he's supposed to , his portrayal it's a very different portrayal of an Indian person . And I say that because you , by this time you know we constantly dealt with , you know we constantly dealt with the Simpsons family guy .

We have specific portrayals of Indian people and it's weird not weird , but it's different that we got a different portrayal of a kid who's a little different in the fact that he's he's misses his old home and he's trying to hope . They're trying to hold on to as much as they can to those old dynamics to help save the money and still kind of get stuff done .

But it's just like really trying to understand those dynamics and understanding how he is as a person and how it affects his relationship with everyone , because I will never forget that episode where eddie disrespected him at the party .

He threw a whole party for fucking everybody and Eddie disrespected him by throwing that shit on the fence , even if you don't like it .

But to be so disrespectful is to throw that shit on the fence and then to the point that he's like it's part of my culture now that everybody has to step on my face because you disrespected me to the point that I am lower than dirt , that I am nothing , and all eddie had to fucking do was Apologize , bruh .

And then Mac and Dennis had a sidebar and I was like , alright , we need to find him a new eye . So you mean to tell me y'all would go out of your way to get him a brand new eye instead of just saying I'm sorry ?

Remember , keep in mind , eddie has been constantly portraying himself , as you know , my big brother's cool and he's my back , he got my back on everything . To him to have to admit that he's sorry is like it's a moment of weakness that eddie does not want to acknowledge it himself . But it's still one of those things I'm like .

But understand how rolf expressed his own personal weakness . You disrespected him and he literally took this shame seriously to the point everybody had to step on his face . You couldn't respect , you couldn't step around , because if you stepped around him you disrespected him even more and it was like that's a big thing to him . As far as the fact , that's like .

This is how it is . So it's like Rolf . He portrays that person , that kid , who moves and has to understand the huge cultural dynamic . And again , I know I don't remember too much as far as the school episodes , but it's still that moment that he was also still struggling to understand school , because for him math was different .

Math was based on oh , I trade two chickens to get a cow , I trade two chickens and a goat to get a cow , type of thing , because that's how he had to grow up . Math for him was just based on the trade system because that's how it worked .

And coming here and understanding that you have to work with numbers and have to work out all this other different stuff , you have to understand what we consider basic science is not basic science to him . There's a lot of different changes that he wound up having trouble adapting to and we did not get a chance to highlight it too much .

But you do get those subtle moments that mentioned that , where even like Double D actually has moments like I don't mind helping Rolf out , or Double D is like having moments he actually does try to help Rolf with different things Because it's like , okay , we need to make sure everything's okay .

And then , of course , I know we're about to go ahead and finish this up , but the time when Ed had to babysit Rolf's animals , that episode was funny as shit Because it lets you know they had absolutely no fucking idea how to do this shit . Ed just wanted to give everyone big hugs . It was a whole thing into that . It was so fucking funny .

Um , but it's one of those ones that I like this show now that I've had a chance to go back and re-watch it , because as a kid I always felt like there was something more to it .

I never understood , um , and it wasn't really until I got to like high school , because by that point I got a chance to meet a bunch of other kids and really understand different dynamics . Because I was in honors classes . I got a chance to meet more of the foreign exchange kids because they were always in honors classes .

They were never anywhere else , they were always in fucking honors classes . But it got me a chance to to really see those different dynamics , to understand , like the appreciation for other cultures , understanding how that really works out , which really also let me appreciate fantasy , because that's why I love fantasy .

So much is that it helped me dive into other cultures and other religions , other , uh , various different things , and so it's like everyone perceives things so differently but also so much the same . But with that , that's how much I like Ed Nitty's show .

It's one of those ones that it is actually meant for you to dive into and most people don't realize that you think of it as just a stupid comedy , and it is . But it does have moments that still poke out onto like poke those little no's of different cultural things that is still happening even today .

Poke those little no's of different cultural things that is still happening even today . That's why I like the show . That's all I got , so I'm done .

But , uh , alright , with that being said , oh , we're gonna go ahead and close out this review honestly , like nowadays I've been doing the grade system now to where you know , like , is it like a , b or C or whatnot , I want to say , actually no , I'm not going to do that , because all I can say is that I believe Ed and Eddie is a great show .

All I can say is that I believe Ed and Eddie is a great show . I'm just not going to even bother With trying to grade it or anything , because I'm not going to . I'm just not in the mood for that . I just like the show . Definitely watch it , however you can . I'm trying to remember .

It's one of the first episodes they show on , just before they show Grim Revengers of Billy and Mandy Monday through Friday , so you can still Watch the episodes on there as well too . So , yeah , you have free range of being able to watch it .
