Ed Edd n Eddy Pedophilia Theory

As a kid, around a decade or so, I completely immersed myself into the world of animation. Cartoons such as Billy and Mandy, Rocket Power, As Told By Ginger, Dexter's Lab, and among others. Then as the years went by my craving for more mature entertainment developed and so began my enjoyment for one of man's greatest creations. I then found anime.

At the time I felt as if I had gone into a rapture of some sort. Shows like Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon (The original only), and Yu Yu Hakusho had me completely mesmerized. Then the day came when I felt as if the gods on Olympus came to me and bestowed me with the gift that, still to this day, is my favorite show of all time, DragonBall Z.

Fast forward a few years it simply seemed I forgot my childhood. One day I saw my youngest brother watching newer cartoons like Chowder, Adventure Time, and Regular Show. I caught an episode or two of Uncle Grandpa, I think, and decided right away that it was complete crap. I kept asking what my brother what he or anyone could see in such low ranked shows, in my opinion. I kept going about how the 90's and early 2000's had much better shows for Nicklelodeon and Cartoon Network. Looking back on it I think I was being kind of a jerk, yet I still did not regret a word I said. I guess I should have been a bit more gentle with my rant on today's cartoons.

Then one day I completely lost it when he decided to watch Teen Titans Go. I remember going like, "O HELL NO! Why are you watching this trash? The old series was and still is better." Needless to say he ignored me.

After acting like a jerk, once again, I had the urge to revisit my childhood and watch some of the old cartoons as watched as a kid, even though I still think anime is better. So I went to my computer, found a website that would let me stream those shows, and simply thought of which show I should watch first.

Since Ed Edd n Eddy was my favorite cartoon I decided to watch that one first. It was nice to relive the old memories I had as a child. Things in the show I never caught or understood at the time I caught now, being more mature in my older age. I binged watched the entire first season throughout the day and then it was time to move on to season 2.

I never kept up with what episode went with each season, but I think it was season 2 where things made me feel a bit uneasy. I don't remember which episode number it was, but I am sure the episode was called Honor Thy Ed. It was the episode where the Eds went into a house, dared by Kevin with the hopes of getting a jawbreaker in exchange, to go inside the house. I will start from the beginning of the episode.

The episode started out usual with Eddy coming up with the a scam by selling paper plate made tacos, with grass for lettuce, and shaved crayons for cheese, topped off with Eddy's older brother's secret hot sauce. After the Eds tasted the hot sauce with Eddy doubting it's intense heat, they had resorted to drinking water out of a sprinkler that was connected to a hose. Then they heard a scream.

It was Jimmy, nearly passed out when he told all the other kids, Kevin, Rolph, Nazz, Sarah, and Johnny, that he saw a figure cast a shadow by one of the windows. The Eds then come by, overhearing what Jimmy and the other were talking about.

After Johnny and Rolph surface their own theory's about the history of the house Eddy instantly denies anything wrong and that it was just an old ordinary house. Kevin then challenges Eddy, with a jawbreaker, to go inside and check out the house. Due to Eddy's greedy nature he accepts and takes Ed and Double D with him. They make their way through the overgrown grass and dandy-lions, a type of flower or plant, without much effort at all.

This where the theory starts to form at the back my head without realizing it just yet.

Just before the Eds make it to the door Ed sneezes and instantly blows away all the grass and dandy-lions with one shot. I noticed in the yard that they're were kids toys in the yard. A beach ball, a try-cycle, a boomerang, and what may have been a dart board with an arrow still stuck in it.

When all the Eds are at the door Ed sneezes again and they all are forced inside the house. Eddy then gets an idea that they are being attacked by ghosts and completely fool the kids outside. It works until Ed, being his idiot self, accidently shows the kids that they were faking when he revealed to be chocking himself on purpose just for a laugh, but for some reason Jimmy still seemed to be scared even though he knew it was all a trick. I thought maybe Jimmy had some sort of history with house that we, the audience, never new about.

A short while after the kids, still outside, leave when they think the Eds are faking another attempt that they are being attacked, it turns out they were really in a bad situation as they were falling down some stairs, screaming in fear and even then Jimmy was still afraid for some reason and was holding on to Sarah as if his life were in danger.

When the Eds come to a stop at the bottom of the stairs, they find themselves in a room full of fun house mirrors. Soon after they all become separated when Double D is lured away with trail of books, Ed with a box of cereal inside a manual elevator of some sorts, and Eddy with a piggy bank.

Later they all come back together with each of them inside three barrels on top of a children's train set. With all the Eds in place the train set starts and they are being led through an underground roller coaster ride. They ride through a dark room then end up crashing through a heart painted paper wall with all their clothes missing. They are all left completely naked with nothing but the barrels to cover themselves.

At the end of the ride they find the Kanker sister's waiting for them in order to marry them, much to the Eds dismay. The episodes ends with the Eds and Kankers married and the Eds end up having to pull the Kanker sisters in a wagon.

After I watched the episode it left me with the suspicion that maybe the entire episode meant something than more than it was letting on. All the hints are their and I can see why any child would miss it. The abandoned toys on the front lawn. The fun house carnival mirrors that were everywhere. The roller coaster that ends up stripping children of their clothes. Jimmy's unusual fear.

There are a few smaller things to add. Such as Rolph's theory at the beginning of the episode. He stated that a woman lures people in with her voice and he is in fact older and not just because of his height. In a different episode where Double D ends up sleeping throughout the show then at the end where the cu-de-sac is flooded, Rolph complains about his pre-mature facial hair and threatens to eat Johnny's noggin.

Is it not true that people will more likely believe the story of someone who is older while the younger child is more likely to make up stories?

Then lets look at the barrels the Eds rode during the roller coaster ride. Ever notice that they are all painted just before the ride ends? The appearances of each of the barrels go as follows, Ed looks like a sailor from the Navy, Eddy wears a Tuxedo, and finally Double D looks like he is very muscular, wearing nothing but a speedo.

Also, take a closer in the room where the forced wedding took place. The room has old chairs, all facing the same direction to make it appear as a chapel or church. It's as if the one or more secret weddings took place years before the Kanker sisters arrived. It's possible that the fathers of the Kanker sisters were their before, Bubba, Rod, and Butch. When Rolph spoke of a woman luring people with her voice it could be their mother. They are all sister meaning that they have one mother and three fathers.

In the different episode where the Eds first met the Kanker sisters the Eds wore their dads robes which had their names on them. They also said that they had just moved to the trailer park, but from where exactly? Maybe the old house which may explain their knowledge of the house inside and out.

The Kankers new every area of the house. How else could they could ensnare the Eds so perfectly and with no trouble at all. My thoughts tell me that off camera they saw the Eds at their taco stand and they let themselves be seen by Jimmy as to lure the Eds into the house. There was also only one window open when they were seen by Jimmy and they must have suck through it. I'm willing to bet they have been there before which explains just how they could have set each trap up so fast.

The Kanker sisters are also somewhat sexually aggressive toward the Eds at every encounter and have done so with Kevin before in a previous episode where the Eds thought they were trapped on a different planet fighting robotic bounty hunters.

Perhaps they take after their fathers. Maybe both Jimmy and Rolph had encounters with their fathers and they ended in a terrible situation in the same house. They were in fact the ones most afraid of the house and aside from they Eds, are most afraid of the Kanker sisters. Remember another episode where the Kanker sisters lost their ship-in-a-bottle? Rolph was the only one that sensed they were on the rampage to get their sip-in-a-bottle back and Rolph was the only one who got the hell dodge by hiding himself and his farm animals inside his cellar.

Then again, maybe I am overthinking it and it's all just a random coincidence. Maybe Jimmy and Rolph are just that easily frightened. Even if is not true I still feel uneasy about this episode. What do you think?
