From The View Of The Onlooker- Fandom
Sreweiv ym olleh
Here, finally, is the twentieth entry of From The View Of The Onlooker. But, like always, lets check through the usually overlooked comment box ;D
Oliver Smith- That is known as a ‘Random Anger Spaz Out Attack’. It is an attack that only few people in the world can do, and it is developed after years of mind bending stress that would make you rather pull a gun to your balls (if that can kill you :0) in a second… just to be spared a greater pain.
Okay, honestly, is just me typing gibberish all on a page. Though admittedly, it does make you feel better for some reason… or is that just me
So…after again responding to one comment (You people must be forcibly starving me. Im not anorexic you know, Im a NORMAL PERSON who needs nutrition from comments… just like everybody else ;) ), let’s get to the topic at hand, one Im sure we can all relate to… Fandom
Yes… those evil, twisted, satanic creatures that are so uncomfortable, the s*** flies from your system… they are known as fans… and just about everyone is fan of something. Today, Im going to be focussing on the many types of fan, and also those topics and things that are renowned for their fans… you’ll see what in a minute
First, let me show you this handy dandy table that I’ve drawn myself on the types of fan, and their common relationship with time
First, you have the relatively normal fans (or rather known as ‘normies’). These are normal people, like you and I, who actually have lives, and have a passing interest in a topic, but not so much that it consumes them. They’ve most likely just got into the topic they like however, and need more time to develop
Second, are the fair-weather fans. These types of people have most likely been into their favourite topic for about 6-12 months, have probably already joined a fan site, and their amount of interest in their topic is likely at a level where they focus on it at least once a week. They still have lives, but it’s not a point where they’d actually go outside to meet friends a lot. They still do it, but not so much. Lastly, you have the near irredeemable
HARDCORE FANS (some times just known as nerds)
They have most likely been into their favourite topic for more than a year, and by now completely love it. Their amount of interest is at the point where everyday they likely focus on it, and lives for them are almost completely scarce. Literally, it becomes all they focus on, and they probably don’t even know what ‘outside’ even means anymore. Fans cannot exactly progress past this point, but there are variants of these people, from those who try to convert as many people as possible, and in worst cases… the people who write cr**py fanfiction stories that they themselves have wrote, are totally into shipping (potential love characters), and have even drawn up fan-art that other fans just… you don’t even wanna know, but its bad.
Also mirroring these three classes are the (insert topic) nazis. These are the fans who feel the need to criticise other similar topics or things, they can be any type of fan, and like to post videos and posts that are literally just complete hate messages… fairly, they’re the most hated of all.
And that’s the three major classes (plus the (insert topic) Nazis). Now, we’re all aware that they’re can be exceptions to these rules, and that your not guaranteed to become a hardcore fan after any amount of time, its just that its based upon observation (cos’… Im an Onlooker. It’s what I do).
Fans can be annoying sometimes, as well…especially when you’re around too many. I say this because I do have friends that are obsessed with a certain movie line, and talking to them is just… like talking in different languages. It’s like sticking a French guy and a Chinese guy in a room together. Its both funny, and yet also very sad. The sense factor would kinda just be thrown out the window here…unless they knew sign language of could actually speak each others language, but Im just banking on the fact that they don’t
But I think I’ve made my point here. Hardcore fans are usually irritating, unless you’re one yourself, which if you are, can make for a great conversation. If not, then be prepared to say ‘I don’t get it’ about 20 times
As I said previously, they are notable topics and lines that, to me personally, are actually quite diverse and unique (and that’s saying a lot). That’s not me saying that I like them, but I’ve picked out a few things that I think are prime examples. Case in point, lets start with an obvious one
Star Trek
Yep, good ol’ Trekkies… or Trekkors… its still nerdy
Yeah… I had to talk about this. The fans of Star Trek are renowned for being possibly the most stereotypical type of nerd in the known universe.
Me personally, I don’t hate nor like it, and Im not prosecuting you if you like it, because well… it’s your life, but you have to admit that they are so damn nerdy. Seriously… it’s like pure nerd power
Like I said, these are fans that are large in number, and largely devoted. Need any evidence, well… it almost became a religion. Yes, you’re reading this right… Star Trek was almost a religion… have f**king mercy
Now, this wasn’t like a one time thing. It was noticed by some anthropologists (basically someone who studies… humans. That’s probably the most awkward and weird job ever… well, there’s probably worst, but still) a couple of years back who noted that the mass conventions attended were similar to masses at some type of church, and beyond that noted even more similarities
Im sure there’s people out there who like to think that it is a religion in its own sense, but get real people. It’s a Tv show, it ain’t real. It’s a bogus idea, and… why Iam saying this. Someone else probably has already, and what Im doing is basically beating a dead horse… that’s probably soft and mishappen by now.
Either way, it’s a HUGE fan group, and that’s almost kinda scary that it was considered religious. Im going to move on from this >.>
Glee
Now this is something that really makes me think about, but first, let me just get down a little (and no, not like that… how ever you sick people would interpret that)
To be fair, Glee is a pretty new show worldwide, though personally I’ve never really had any contact with the show. Though I was reading about it in a Tv guide the other week, and it seems to me that it’s got a pretty big fan group (they’ve even already got a name… they’re called Gleeks… lame)
And why is that. I mean, lets think for a moment. This show, from what I know, is just about a bunch of kids at High school who break into song and dance, and they all have ‘personal issues’ that make each episode. Now what else is similar to that, um… had something to do with High school… and it was musical…um… High school and musical… no, I don’t have a clue.
Either way, I think this ‘musical thing with a high school’ was actually universally hated, and only had mild success at least. Then there’s Glee which is actually doing quite well… WHY!
ITS BASICALLY THE SAME FREAKING IDEA, SO WHY IS ONE SUCCESSFUL AND THE OTHER S**T
Ah well… its not really worth my time… plus I’ve been warned that if I do any more Random Anger Spaz Out Attacks, I’ll be put in prison for manslaughter. And trust me when I say that someone like me who knows ‘fancy words’… well, my a** will be turned into currency, being that most guys in prison don’t have much physical contact… hint hint. Moving on
Sigh… Twilight
God’, I regret doing this as my first entry, because Im going to have to revisit this again and again and again… and again. But lets be honest that Twilight does have quite a fan following… and surprisingly, I think its strictly for women only :I
Seriously… I only know one guy who actually likes it (and it ain’t me… how could it, I tore the head off an Edward Cullen figure and make annoyance entries about it
Shut up you, you don’t deserve a picture).
It’s just a really weird topic (as I’ve evidenced), all the more enhanced by its fan group, which all seems to be fangirls… devoted, don’t-cross-them-fangirls. I know from experience that backlash to the whole vampire line in front of one of these women can result in verbal reply so crushingly devoted that it’ll put in your place… and then even lower
Also interesting to note is the whole ‘Team Edward and Team Jacob’ thing. From what I understand, it’s basically over which Twilight over-aged piece of man-meat the twilight fans like, and I know that being in a high school… you’re going to find a lot of people with different stances on this whole thing. Man, this isn’t like some global election
Indeed… but its blown out of proportion and basically its ego is fed by every teenage girls little crush… Jesus… I want that power. Surprisingly, I haven’t actually found any fights between these rivals yet, though its an interesting concept. I even have a plan for it
Step 1- P*ss off each team by saying the other said something like ‘¬____ isn’t fit’
Step 2- Find a room that’s quite large and has cameras within
Step 3- Lure each team in with candy, lock the door, and watch on the camera monitors. Luxury :D
Well… maybe that wouldn’t work, but then again, since I was insane enough to come up with it… I’d also be insane enough to try it. Expect to see me in a bloody heap on the grass afterwards
And… that should do this entry. Knowing my fan response, there’s going to be stuff I’ve missed, so theres probably going to be a part 2, so…yeah
As always, please post comments on what you thought, and if you haven’t already, become a follower of me on Blogger, or join the official fan page on Facebook

From The View Of The Onlooker- 3d
Wadup my radical dudester! Catch you on the flip side!
Okay, enough with early 90’s phrases. Here is the nineteenth entry (almost 20 FTW… after about 7 months >.>), but first, let me take a moment to share with you, a most cherished feature of my blog. Something that Im sure equals the saying that ‘love makes the world go around’… responding to comments.
Arrmand- Nice… that’s exactly what I like hearing, so thanx ^^
I’ve seen your blog when I get free moments, and it too is good. Better I’d say, so all I can really say is keep on doing yo thang (and my amount of respect has dropped to an all-time low… fail)
Abby Lever- Hmm…. your probably right about the pictures, so… I fail at taking camera shots. But in my defence, I did only write that unofficial entry on the night that we got back, AND the day I released it, so there’s bound to be more than one error… as Oliver Smith has pointed out to before… whatever
Anyway, nao that that’s done with, its time for an always lovable anger rant, delivered by your angst-ish Onlooker. With this one… Im sorry, but to me, there’s actually barely nothing that can possibly redeem this topic… this, is my opinion, on 3d
Your probably now thinking (I imagine)
‘How the hell can you not like 3d. Are you serious’
Theres a very good (and obviously lengthy) reason… well reasons. I suppose I’ll start with my lesser reasons and just get them out of the way first
FIRST FREAKING REASON
Why are there two types of 3d?
You know what I mean. There’s this type of 3d
In videogames, where its generally awesome and is almost required for most games today. Then… there’s this
That… other kind of 3d. The usually cr***ier version that’s exciting for one minute, and then fails the next. Yeah… I think you get it
Why the hell are they both called 3d. I mean… why can’t they be distinguished verbally. Seriously, while it usually doesn’t cause a problem as to what you’re referring to in my life, I still hope for a name change. There’s always bound to be that type of problem come up in somebody’s life, and sure there are other completely different things that have the same name (I actually don’t like that… I want unique names, damnit), but I think this is actually one of those issues that needs to be taken care of. In fact… just for the sake of this entry, Im going to change the name of movie 3d, into 4d. I mean… why not. I don’t think 4d has been taken yet. And if Im wrong, may god stri-
……….
Hmm…um, okay sorry peoplez. Turns out that God did in fact strike me down, only to tell me that 4d is actually 3d movie graphics combined with physical effects like smoke. While this has caused me to become even more confused and psychologically wasted, he did in fact send me back down to Earth. I think every part of me is here, let me check…
Yeah, everything is the same… except I’ve got a mouth growing on my back that’s telling me to resurrect Hitler… nothing surgery can’t fix (I hope…). But Bt3
Anyway… so 3d is taken, I guess. Then… how about 3.5d. Being that it isn’t exactly as good as 3d, but can’t retain copyright over 4d. There, will that please you, my lordy lord
I’m waiting…
Okay… it must be good… phew. Anyway… it still does p*** me off that I have to refer to both things through the same name, because I really just don’t want to. I… really really REALLY don’t… but I guess I have to if I want to make sense.
SECOND FREAKING REASON
It isn’t that impressive
Now, this one I can successfully argued against, but I do have a point
I think I can fairly say that most films cannot take full advantage of 3.5d (okay, I’ll use it for this review). Sure, they’re free to use it, and I have no grudge against people who do, but quite honestly, I don’t give a damn to a film that uses it to little effect. Its like… this
5 seconds later
That’s what my general reaction is to films like that. Fortunately, there are some films that have used it exceptionally (Beowulf and Avatar… to an extent), but for the most part, its generally not exciting, nor boosting in any way. This leads me onto
THIRD FREAKING REASON
It ruins films
I mean this in the sense that, if not worn with 3d glasses, it can make the film look smudgy and mis-coloured. This is obvious, but many times I’ve found myself watching a 3d film, only to take my 3d glasses off because they don’t seem to do anything, and then seeing the film for what it is… putrid, non cinematic s***.
I mean… this is 2010. They’ve improved 3d glasses, adapted cinemas for the sole purpose of 3d, EVEN MADE 3D TVS… and yet they all seem to be missing the initial point, that 3d screens just look like multi-coloured vomit… what masochist decided to tell everyone that
‘We need to develop 3d to the best of our ability… but that effect you get without glasses… nah, lets just skip that till later’
Whoever did must be laughing pretty hard right now… and yet I’ve been struck down by God… I think the concept of logic has been destroyed 0.0
But let me get to my final point, because I haven’t done angry yet. This is it
FOURTH FREAKING REASON
What is with the popularity of 3d itself
You probably don’t understand, so let me ease you into it. Think of how big 3d is today, and then think when it was last popular… lets say for a brief period (lol… I should be above laughing at that) in 2005. Before that… 2000 or so, and it keeps going on
Just like how 3d happens in the cinema, this extends to its popularity. One minute, its really ‘new’ and amazing, the next… no one cares in the least.
WTH
Whats with this consistency. It shouldn’t be popular on and off, that doesn’t make sense. Well at least not at this rate, because it is just stupid. SERIOUSLY… this shouldn’t happen
Arrgh… dammit… that’s it, RANDOM ANGER SPAZ OUT ATTACK
Ndjkbsisd,n.famssznvrbzjkhf leiebniuthncxlgnrejui; tvb,xd.fgnreolkbkni;r,dsnb,.trkhinbrtn,njbrj.tkkhf/.dnrtk/dln/dtr/k/lknk rctnlfb.tt,fjbtrcx,gbrmjgbelrd,gbrvtdmgbvd,rbgvjt,rxubjcgerxgbvidt,rgvxd,gbcj5rtb.tr,gbd,vrmbd xm
(5 hours later… and 3 people dead)
Okay… *breathes*… okay, Im calm, Im cool. I won’t do that again… phew… alright then
So those are my major reasons for my dislike, and feel free to prove me wrong on some of them (its not like people haven’t tried in the past), but I guess I do have to mention the good points about 3.5d… or else this would just be another biased anger topic for me
For starters, I have a great fondness for those classic, blue and red lensed cardboard glasses (like my logo suggests… that will actually become a big plot point in the not far off future)
They just look… awesome. Screw these new versions, when I go watching a 3d film… I take the old versions. Any day…
And like I mentioned before, there are films that use 3d extraordinarily. Usually, they’re made for 3.5d, which helps I suppose, but certain scenes can stand out as just perfect when combined with 3.5d (like that scene with that deformed monster fighting guys in the dark in Beowulf… I mean, the film was s***, but that was a pretty cool scene)
And to be fair, it does make the whole experience of watching a film completely change, which I think can go either way, but it does have a chance of making a bad film have at least one merit.
And that’s… all I can think of to say about now. Like always, please leave comments for everybody’s viewing pleasure (okay mine… it lets me know you all haven’t died from one of my attacks), and if you have a Facebook profile, join my official fanpage for updates and more in the future
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Official-From-The-View-Of-The-Onlooker-Fan-Page/104440739594430?ref=mf&v=wall
I’ll probably make a part 2 in the future, but lets leave that till’ later. Anyway… only one more entry till a super, ultra awesome surprise. Some of you already know it, but others don’t, so… lets keep it mellow, shall we
And if you don’t… then you are NO FANMINION OF MINE

While this has caused me to become even more confused and psychologically wasted, he did in fact send me back down to Earth. I think every part of me is here, let me check…
Yeah, everything is the same… except I’ve got a mouth growing on my back that’s telling me to resurrect Hitler… nothing surgery can’t fix (I hope…). But Bt3
Anyway… so 3d is taken, I guess. Then… how about 3.5d. Being that it isn’t exactly as good as 3d, but can’t retain copyright over 4d. There, will that please you, my lordy lord
I’m waiting…
Okay… it must be good… phew. Anyway… it still does p*** me off that I have to refer to both things through the same name, because I really just don’t want to. I… really really REALLY don’t… but I guess I have to if I want to make sense.
SECOND FREAKING REASON
It isn’t that impressive
Now, this one I can successfully argued against, but I do have a point
I think I can fairly say that most films cannot take full advantage of 3.5d (okay, I’ll use it for this review). Sure, they’re free to use it, and I have no grudge against people who do, but quite honestly, I don’t give a damn to a film that uses it to little effect. Its like… this
5 seconds later
That’s what my general reaction is to films like that. Fortunately, there are some films that have used it exceptionally (Beowulf and Avatar… to an extent), but for the most part, its generally not exciting, nor boosting in any way. This leads me onto
THIRD FREAKING REASON
It ruins films
I mean this in the sense that, if not worn with 3d glasses, it can make the film look smudgy and mis-coloured. This is obvious, but many times I’ve found myself watching a 3d film, only to take my 3d glasses off because they don’t seem to do anything, and then seeing the film for what it is… putrid, non cinematic s***.
I mean… this is 2010. They’ve improved 3d glasses, adapted cinemas for the sole purpose of 3d, EVEN MADE 3D TVS… and yet they all seem to be missing the initial point, that 3d screens just look like multi-coloured vomit… what masochist decided to tell everyone that
‘We need to develop 3d to the best of our ability… but that effect you get without glasses… nah, lets just skip that till later’
Whoever did must be laughing pretty hard right now… and yet I’ve been struck down by God… I think the concept of logic has been destroyed 0.0
But let me get to my final point, because I haven’t done angry yet. This is it
FOURTH FREAKING REASON
What is with the popularity of 3d itself
You probably don’t understand, so let me ease you into it. Think of how big 3d is today, and then think when it was last popular… lets say for a brief period (lol… I should be above laughing at that) in 2005. Before that… 2000 or so, and it keeps going on
Just like how 3d happens in the cinema, this extends to its popularity. One minute, its really ‘new’ and amazing, the next… no one cares in the least.
WTH
Whats with this consistency. It shouldn’t be popular on and off, that doesn’t make sense. Well at least not at this rate, because it is just stupid. SERIOUSLY… this shouldn’t happen
Arrgh… dammit… that’s it, RANDOM ANGER SPAZ OUT ATTACK
Ndjkbsisd,n.famssznvrbzjkhf leiebniuthncxlgnrejui; tvb,xd.fgnreolkbkni;r,dsnb,.trkhinbrtn,njbrj.tkkhf/.dnrtk/dln/dtr/k/lknk rctnlfb.tt,fjbtrcx,gbrmjgbelrd,gbrvtdmgbvd,rbgvjt,rxubjcgerxgbvidt,rgvxd,gbcj5rtb.tr,gbd,vrmbd xm
(5 hours later… and 3 people dead)
Okay… *breathes*… okay, Im calm, Im cool. I won’t do that again… phew… alright then
So those are my major reasons for my dislike, and feel free to prove me wrong on some of them (its not like people haven’t tried in the past), but I guess I do have to mention the good points about 3.5d… or else this would just be another biased anger topic for me
For starters, I have a great fondness for those classic, blue and red lensed cardboard glasses (like my logo suggests… that will actually become a big plot point in the not far off future)
They just look… awesome. Screw these new versions, when I go watching a 3d film… I take the old versions. Any day…
And like I mentioned before, there are films that use 3d extraordinarily. Usually, they’re made for 3.5d, which helps I suppose, but certain scenes can stand out as just perfect when combined with 3.5d (like that scene with that deformed monster fighting guys in the dark in Beowulf… I mean, the film was s***, but that was a pretty cool scene)
And to be fair, it does make the whole experience of watching a film completely change, which I think can go either way, but it does have a chance of making a bad film have at least one merit.
And that’s… all I can think of to say about now. Like always, please leave comments for everybody’s viewing pleasure (okay mine… it lets me know you all haven’t died from one of my attacks), and if you have a Facebook profile, join my official fanpage for updates and more in the future

From The View Of The Onlooker- Ed Edd N' Eddy
HELLOOO!!!!!!
My computer obsessed, patriotic fans, here is the Eighteenth entry. But firstly, let me go over the comments and see the delightfully brisk comments you have left
JackoDarth- Lol… I knew you’d agree with me. Even though I use it, it doesn’t prevent me becoming a hypocrite… as much as I hate that
Abby Lever- Sure facebook is addictive… but I’ve learned that compared to other addictive things (not drugs, people… Im being a rightful Samaritan, in that I distrust drugs, but support copyright infringement… :D…except my own…you filthy b**terds), it actually becomes pretty minor… so it can be controlled to an extent
Oliver Smith- Hmm… exactly what doesn’t make sense? I went to London, took some pictures, and wrote an entry about it. What in that is confusing…
Sure, when I look over it, I did make some mistakes, but bearing in mind, I only worked on it on the evening I got back, AND the day I released it, so there’s bound to be of couple mistakes that I overlook.
But still… I feel that what you’ve said is a little… strong. It wasn’t that bad
Oh, and BTW… I have played God Of War (every game in the series except GOF 3 and some mobile game)
Louisah Hillman- Its fair to agree, but… I actually took pictures just because I thought you’d like em’
Granted, it is true that many people do like Starbucks, and that all this attention has obviously ruined it, but… seriously, don’t I get a smile… or a laugh. That would have been much appreciated
Anywaaaay… now to the entry, and introducing yet another new theme to my show (okay… it’s a blog… I just like calling it a show, though), appropriately called ‘Shows From Our Childhoods’
This is where I review a show that generally most people my aged watched until, say, 10 years old. Yep… those good ol’ shows, and what better way to start than by reviewing virtually the first show I ever watched, Ed Edd n’ Eddy
This show… kicks your a** till’ you develop a** cancer. Honestly, this was the first real show that I remember liking (sorry, but a show with trains with faces that don’t eat people… I ain’t buying the DVD), and for good reason, as you’ll see in a minute. But first, a little backstory
Ed Edd n’ Eddy was created around in 1999, back when an overhaul in animation was taking place. Shows like Animaniacs, Batman the animated series and a whole bunch of 80’s shows (not like the actual show which I will probably never watch) were being seen as too stereotypically ‘old’, and new animation genius’s needed to be brought in to connect with a new era of audiences… if only they knew they’d turn out chavs… hmm, I need a terminator.
But anyway, Ed Edd n’ Eddy were a result of this revamp in childrens shows, and it seems to me that they all appealed to different audiences. Think-
Powerpuff girls for girls
Dexters Laboratory for unpopular, nerdy kids
And Iam Weasel for the mentally unstable kids… didn’t stop me watching it :D
And as you can imagine, Ed Edd n’ Eddy was meant to appeal to boys, and it did a great job in the fact of how imaginatively insane it could get. Comparably, it was like shows like Ren and Stimpy… but less gross and more directional. Now lets take a look at the show itself
The shows takes place in an neighbourhood ‘cul-de-sac’ with a bunch of kids that are eternally on Summer vacation with no appearances from parents… for up to four seasons, in fact. In this group, there are our 3 main characters, the Ed’s…
…Who are all named for some variation of the name, but seem to manage anyway. Firstly, is just Ed
(Don't Worry... Ed isn't a Nazi... Nazis FTL)
This is the guy who never bathes nor does he possess any visible intelligence… though he does have so much strength that it would probably put the hulk to shame…so as you can imagine, he can sometimes be taken advantage of. You’d think this make him a somewhat stereotypical dumb*** who’s coincidently also strong… but throw in an obsession with buttered toast, gravy and aliens, and you have yourself a likeable character. Next, is Edd… yet everyone calls him double d… yet pronounce it as debble d… they’ve been off school long enough
This guy is the exact opposite of Ed, being a neat freak who possess an annoying amount of intelligence who just likes things perfect...oh, and his parents communicate to him from yellow sticky notes only…maybe his parents are computers hooked up to other machines, but its never explained. He too is also sometimes taken advantage of, but you’ll see how in a minute. He counters of Ed perfectly, and boosting that, they’re really good friends. Oh…but one thing I wanna mention… why does he wear a black sock on his head. In the show, people say its from a dodgeball incident, and most fans think he’s just bald, but… how does a dodgeball mean baldness?
Obviously, he must have been playing dodgeball, but then, someone throws one, and it collides with all sorts till it hits a… plane (it got out through the window), which then crashes because planes are vulnerable to balls (lol), and falls on the area he was playing on. He ends up in hospital, with some manageable injuries, and after 3 weeks, he gets out… still with hair…only to go to the barber the next day, WHO coincidently is just a pair of scissors, and ends up cutting off a portion of his scalp, yet just enough to survive, yet never grow hair again
Um…hmm… no, that’s stupid…
Anyway, finally is the dwarf of the group, Eddy
This is the guy who controls both of his friends for scams, so they can get money out of the other kids to buy Jawbreakers, which just about everybody in the show like, and are about the size of Jonathon Ross’s head in a couple of years of being as big-headed as he is now.
Eddy is a schemer who is half behind most of the insanity that stems from this show, and while he can get easily angry and annoying, he is still quite likeable, and though he treats his friends with little respect, he still does like them, so the show can still have its ‘together’ moments… as subtle as they are :)
There are also other kids in this show, as you can see below
But they’re not really a major focus within the show alone, and besides that, they represent the main stereotypes within… children, I suppose. Like-
Kevin being a ‘cool’ jock who easily hates the Ed’s... stupid douche
Nazz as the ‘girl next door’ (perhaps literally in this case) who people want to get with… and she will most likely turn into either a slut or a… actual intelligent person who is hot, but most likely doesn’t realize it
And Jimmy being the always 'likeable' camp and complete and total pussy wimp kid who I SWEAR is out to be hated. He’s just… irritating
But with characters, you always need a story, so as you can figure out, the general theme for episodes are usually scams that the Ed’s have made… only for it to fail EPICALLY. Which I forgot to mention… very rarely does a scam work in this show, and even if it does, the Ed’s usually lose the ‘cash’ made and somehow and end up getting beat up… which happens a s**t load of times
Good god’, these kids are showing the first signs of being terrorists… I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they grow up into… except Nazz… sluts can’t be terrorists :/
Yet in near all these scam related episodes, there are some that to everyone shine out as they’re favourites… such as one of my favourites, a glass of warm ed (which I forgot to mention again, that all the episodes are titled after a life phrase, and then inserted with the word Ed… not bad, but not awesome, I think)
In it, The Ed’s discover that ‘regular Ed’ is not only a sleepwalker… but a
Sleep-brake into peoples houses and eat the food out of their refrigerator-er
That’s… awesome. If I had to sleepwalk, then I’d definitely also be a sleep- whatever. It’d be nice, to say the least
Anyway, Eddy and Edd discover this after Ed eats their food (and Edd’s cactus ‘Jim’… this guy needs a girlfriend), and decide to chase him down and stop him, yet at every turn, he manages to evade them. Eventually, they do catch him and wake him up, but decide to be on guard just in case he starts doing such awesome deeds again… which he does. Finally, Eddy and Edd decide to lure Ed away from his sleep- whatever-ing with the smell of his own shoe (…I don’t get it… at all, but who cares in all seriousness). They succeed in getting him to his home, and… well’ watch the ending for yourself. Its actually somewhat horrifyingly funny, and you should definitely watch it from the link below

Ah, such good memories. And speaking about episodes, I gotta mention how…weird, the music is. Its just either completely sounds, whistling, or some… weird instrument that I have no idea what it is (It could be some type of sound effect, I haven’t had a clue for years). If you’ve just seen the episode just now, you’ll know what I mean, the music’s just unique… but I don’t think anybody knows what makes them. Maybe the writers made a deal with Satan… or the banker…I dunno, they’re both made out to be the same thing. Or maybe… they made a deal with business satan!
Only he would ship out sounds directly recorded from the second layer of Hades :)… it pays to be in the music industry
However, your probably thinking ‘who is the mad-man who came up with the idea for this crazy c**p’. Well, we owe all that to the great mad-man himself, Danny Antonucci
Seeing as this guy made Ed Edd N’ Eddy, he is automatically awesome
The guy came from Canada perhaps that inserts some of the Canadian jokes into the mix like-
‘Canadians are weird’
Ed
Know it all Ed
27/9/99
Oh, and a jokey slight distrust I have over Canadian people… this show caused it though >:3)
Anyway, the guy came from Canada, though he was descended from Italian parents, which he always claimed were an inspiration for his little group of self-made cartoons. Until Ed Edd N’ Eddy, he did work on shows like The Smurfs and Scooby Doo (I hate that show… I always have), and also had some involvement with MTV, however, he never exactly made a name for himself, and by the time he made Ed Edd N’ Eddy, he’d became determined to make a cartoon similar to something 1940’s-ish, and that he’d reportedly became frustrated and ‘edgy’ by his previous experiences. First pitching the idea to Nickelodeon (back when they were using an orange blob monster that was probably s**t out by the great mighty poo… groan), they liked it, however, they wanted full creative control, and seeing as Antonucci went through the experiences he did, he pulled out of the deal straight away (thank god too. If Nickelodeon had it, they’d probably make it about a homosexual sponge that lives in the sea with a bunch of other hideous monsters, and have every story seem like forgettable filler
Oh wait… they already did that ^^)
Anyway, after such an incident, Antonucci pitched his idea to the ‘then-new’ Cartoon Network, and seeing as they were just starting out… they said yes, and with that, we given over 5 seasons, 134 episodes and 10 years of dedicated episodes.
And if you’re thinking now, ‘how the hell is it popular’, then judge this for yourself… Ed Edd N’ Eddy is the longest running original CN series as of 2009, as all the other shows died out
Well… except Powerpuff Girls… that’s an manga now, I think
Either way, that must prove how great this show was, because if we didn’t like it, it would have ended before 50 episodes by now. No… it DOES prove it. If you don’t agree…
…Then you’re not human >:(
On the subject of its seasons, well… the first 4 seasons were basically set in the cul-de-sac on summer vacation. All the same, however, the final episode of s4 was kinda set to be the final one… as it deals with Eddy having an epiphany about his future…so yeah. We all thought it was going to be the final one, but no, we eventually got a new season after a long hiatus
This newest season finally moved to…well new seasons… as in like, the weather. Season 5 was set in autumn as the kids went back to school (finally…), and to be fair, it did inject some much needed refreshness into the show, and it made it slightly closer to when it was in its prime. The plots tended to include some more school related things, yet… we we’re still given the same characters, so…yeah, it’s hard to make it REALLY updated, in this sense.
Anyway, this season was made doubly long by the fact there was supposed to be a season 6, however, it was all bowled into one, where the ending of the season took place in winter.
You’d be thinking that the producers (and other… people) are basically giving us the long one… but it was worth it, sorta, as we were given a movie :D (But I’ll probably go over that as a review in the future)
And that basically wrapped up all those years of watching the Ed’s get into all sorts of shenanigans and eventually getting beat up… awesome :(
Looking back at this show and re-watching all these episodes… it’s an nice experience, and just to say it now… but I have a couple more SFOC planned for the VLOG I’m hoping to release in the future, including one in particular, that… well I’ll say it’ll be best if its out in July ;)
To wrap up this entry, I just wanna say that (even though I’ve already got across my message >.>) this show has had a part in making me who I’am, and that if you don’t like it… leave a comment or some criticism. Or… if all you’re going to do is send hate mail… then Business Satan who rape and eat you
He does it to hookers on Thursdays anyway ^^

Anyway, this season was made doubly long by the fact there was supposed to be a season 6, however, it was all bowled into one, where the ending of the season took place in winter.
You’d be thinking that the producers (and other… people) are basically giving us the long one… but it was worth it, sorta, as we were given a movie :D (But I’ll probably go over that as a review in the future)
And that basically wrapped up all those years of watching the Ed’s get into all sorts of shenanigans and eventually getting beat up… awesome :(
Looking back at this show and re-watching all these episodes… it’s an nice experience, and just to say it now… but I have a couple more SFOC planned for the VLOG I’m hoping to release in the future, including one in particular, that… well I’ll say it’ll be best if its out in July ;)
To wrap up this entry, I just wanna say that (even though I’ve already got across my message >.>) this show has had a part in making me who I’am, and that if you don’t like it… leave a comment or some criticism. Or… if all you’re going to do is send hate mail… then Business Satan who rape and eat you
He does it to hookers on Thursdays anyway ^^
