How old were you when finally understood how rough Ed’s life was?

This is the line that did it for me.

Why was his life bad again? Aside from the stairs situation it seems like he can get away with about anything.

...

Literally everyone mentions the stairs, when he went out the window of his room dozens of times.
His parents are just dumb like him.

Isn't he also mentally handicapped?

Obviously. I also remember hearing about a cancelled episode called Special Ed.

I always thought Ed's parents were aware of how potentially dangerous he was, and that their punishments basically boiled down to them taking as many measures as possible to ensure total obedience from his end

desu if I had a son who could lift a house with one arm without breaking a sweat, I'd have no fucking idea what to do with him either

And that’s just when he was like 5.

>Eddy's parents are actively negligent and teach him to be greedy and amoral, along with letting his older brother pick on him
>Edd's parents seem loving but are constantly absent from his life, leaving him in relative solitude
>Ed's parents favor Sarah and verge between unfairly punishing him for minor transgressions and being emotionally distant
The Eds had hard lives.

Ed's dad looks like a longshoreman.

he never struck me as handicapped, just thick as pig shit.

Looking at the original episodes, he doesn't seem mentally handicapped. I think he was just exaggeratedly dumb and divorced from reality.

I always thought he was just deep into monster movies to the point of schizophrenia.

Only in the sense that his parents are negligent when they aren't being abusive.

Where is it?

There's definitely some parallels between Eddy and AJ Soprano

source?

Yeah, Halloween episode showcased that, always wondered what Ed ended up doing in life.

shot dead by cops

Going full circle, his love for monster movies likely stemmed from how his parents, in a way, treating him as a monster.

>Implying that could kill Ed

AJ had a pretty bad life too. Lots of material comfort but both of his parents were emotionally distant.

But why would the school tell Sarah and not his mom?

>>Eddy's parents are actively negligent and teach him to be greedy and amoral, along with letting his older brother pick on him
its very clear Eddy's parents are much more than negligectful
remember when they try to save Ed from getting grounded and get grounded?
Eddy is sobbing at the end

I remember Eddy being pissed Double D was only grounded for 3 days.

And there goes the thread.
[spoiled]checked[/spoiler]
I think Ed is divorced from reality as a way to cope with life and not actually retarded.

He lives in a dirty basement

There was no point.
They would find out eventually.

(Checked)
Oh, damn.

I like to think that Ed went on to own a comic book shop.

man thats fucked up.

got in love with a chicken, got over his edgelord phase and nowadays is a respectable member of society.

Don’t you mean EDgelord?

In this economy? In an era where print media is dying?

So was Ed jerking it to chickens being hatched or did he just randomly have a magazine featuring the life-cycle of a chicken under his pillow?

Double D would help him out in life

>wish you had friends like the eds
>get older and realize how shitty it was for them, outside of the shenanigans and pranks
It's a really weird feel, man. Thanks for reminding me to rewatch EEnE.

>TFW Danny owns his characters and they need his approval to do any reboots.
Thank you Danny.

True, life sucked for them, but as long as they had eachother, it’d always be a good time, and every now and then they won one.

He probably has adhd

>”Ed has difficulty with his ability to concentrate for even the smallest period.”

>tick tock
>tick tock

The show got even better after I rewatched it because now I can understand what Double D was saying better than when I was like nine.

Like, five years ago at the latest.
