Who could forget a classic cartoon about 3 boys with the exact same name, who's daily scamming shenanigans got them into loads of trouble with the neighborhood kids?

The Edboys have made millions of viewers laugh (sometimes cry) for about 10 years on Cartoon Network. Since the show ended in 2009, viewers still have many unanswered questions to this day, including me!

1. What was under Double D's hat?

Possibly one of the most frequently asked questions today is what Double D could possibly be hiding under that hat. Many fans have thought of their own theories, some more believable than others. Some viewers believe under that hat is a beautiful head of long, lucious hair, while some have thought of more morbid reasons, such as the theory that Double D is bald/balding from chemotherapy due to cancer, or that he has an underdeveloped twin that he wants no one to know about.

One of the most believable theories stemmed from the episode, "Ed in a Halfshell" where Eddy forces Jimmy and the Eds to play a game of dodgeball. When Eddy volunteers Double D to play, he becomes panicked. Double D warns Eddy that he has a "history" with this game. In fact, the threat of playing dodgeball frightened Edd immensely, and when Eddy was ready to throw the ball at him, he collapsed to the ground, catatonic, screaming, "it's gym class all over again!"

Some fans have proposed that at one point while playing this game, he was so badly injured that he had to go to the hospital for head surgery, leaving a giant scar on his head, which he now covers with his security blanket-like hat. None of these theories have been confirmed, and sadly we will never know the true answer.

2. How old were all of the characters?

It was never really confirmed how old the children were in the show. Just from watching their antics, many would assume at least ages 10-14, especially since the kids attended Peach Creek Junior High.

3. How did Johnny and Plank's friendship begin?

Johnny is known as one of the carefree, wild, and weird characters of the show. Often known as a bit of a loner, Johnny's best friend is a plank of wood named...well, Plank. They do everything together, such as playing with the other neighborhood kids, eating, playing board games, etc. How? I don't know. Johnny talks to Plank as if he is a living being, often laughing at his jokes and saying, "Good one, Plank!" What was never discussed was how the two met and became friends, which has left fans in confusion.

4. Where did Eddy's money obsession come from?

Sure, everyone loves money and could use more of it, but Eddy's obsession with making a quick buck is far from healthy. He's put money before his best friends, Edd and Ed, and chosen it over any other friendship he can make with the others.

In the episode "Every Which Way But Ed" Eddy is even shown making scams as a toddler with Ed. Eddy's money driven attitude has gotten him and the boys injured and ridiculed numerous times, but none of that seems to matter as long as there's cash in Eddy's pocket. (Which at the end of each episode, he always ends up broke

5. WHERE THE HECK ARE THEIR PARENTS?!

Parents are referenced multiple times throughout the series, so we know that the kids indeed have them, but we never once see their faces. We only got an occasional shot of an arm, or legs from flashbacks.

6. Why did Double D's parents only communicate through sticky notes?

Edd is often seen doing chores for his parents, in fact there was an entire episode about it! ("Momma's Little Ed?)

It's obvious that Double D lacks affection from his parents, seeing as they are gone from home a lot. It doesn't hurt to call your son once in a while!

7. Why was Sarah so mean to Ed?

Sarah had to be the most angry, quick tempered character of the show. Often resorting to violence when she doesn't like something or get what she wants. She often terrorizes Ed for no reason, making him fear her.

Ed obviously loves her, as it is seen in the show that he is very protective of her and will do anything to make her happy. Sarah sadly takes Ed's kind heart for granted.

8. What country is Rolf from?

Rolf often refers to his homeland as the "old country" but we never truly found out where he was born. He often references his life in his old home. He loves showing his culture to all of his friends in the neighborhood through his food, music, and overall quirky behavior. His accent sounds European, and he does show some Swedish-like roots in my opinion, though.

9. Is that your horse?

Clearly, that's my horse.

10. Why were the Kankers so obsessed with the Eds?

The series introduced the Kankers by showing them kidnapping the Eds. (Why?) Since then, they were hooked and wanted to terrorize them with smooches every opportunity they got. They don't even know the Eds well enough to love them.

11. When are we getting an Big Picture Show sequel?!

@ Dan Antonucci (the creator)

The series finale (the Big Picture Show movie) ends on a heartwarming note, with all of the kids embracing and loving the Eds for owning up to their mistake and apologizing. What I really want to know is...what's going to happen to Johnny! At the end of the finale, while in his Captain Melonhead attire, he is beaten up for hurting the Eds and left for dead. What will happen next? Will he become Captain Melonhead full-time? Will he become a villain and try to get rid of the Eds?

I need answers!!!


What will the future hold for our precious Edboys? As far as the finale goes, I'm extremely happy that the series ended on a very happy note. The Eds' legacy shall live on!

A wise Ed once said, "An elephant never forgets but I forgot what the elephant remembered."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
