Ed, Edd & Eddy

                Growing up as a child I use to be glued stuck to the TV. I knew every cartoon show and could name over a ton in less than a minute but I never looked at the deeper context.
                 Ed, Edd & Eddy captures the lives of three childhood friends with different personalities. Ed is tall, strong, often dirty, sensitive and stupid. Edd also known as Double Dee is smart, average height, skinny, nerdy, fragile, polite, and a little short tempered. In contrast to the two Eddy on the other hand is very self-centered, short, a con-artist, cool, and dumb.  They all live in the same neighborhood with a bunch of other kids, except for the Kanker Sisters who live in a small trailer home near a junk yard.
                Just like any other typical boy Ed likes Monsters, Double Dee is into science and Eddy loves jawbreakers. The Kanker Girls are big bullies who like Ed, Edd & Eddy. Sarah and Jimmy like playing dolls. Johnny plays with his imaginary friend Plank. Rolf works on a farm. And Nazz and Kevin are the popular kids.
                Now let’s look at things from outside the box. The Kanker Sisters are similar to Ed, Edd & Eddy. There’s three of them with three different personalities. Lee is self – centered, tall and short tempered. May is the dumb blonde who’s nice and Marie is the dark goth. Unlike most cartoons where there’s usually a guy bully, in this show girls are. Because the Kanker Sisters are  evil and mean all the other kids are afraid of them. Just like the Kanker Sisters, Ed’s little sister Sarah is also evil, mean and bossy. Unlike Sarah and the Kanker Sisters Nazz is hot, a tom-boy, sweet, cool & hip, very laid back and attractive. In this show there are two kinds of girls the less favored  ones who are mean and controlling and then there’s the popular ones who are pretty and cool. Girls have more power than the boys and get to make their own decisions. Boys want what they can’t have; Ed, Edd & Eddy, Johnny, Rolf and Kevin have a crush on Nazz but Nazz isn’t interested in them.
                 And Last but not least, let’s take a look at is gayness and straightness. Sarah’s bestfriend Jimmy is a boy who is a coward, accident prone, insecure, girly and weak. Although it’s not directly said in the show, we can interpret that Jimmy is gay. This show is also sending out the message that opposites attract because Jimmy and Sarah are complete opposites but they’re still bestfriends
