Cul-de-sac (Fanfic) | comment |
Cul-de-sac is an online fan theory regarding the animated series Ed, Edd n Eddy. Much like other infamous fan theories, this theory posits that the characters from the series are actually deceased and that the titular Cul-de-sac they dwell in is actually Purgatory. The theory goes on to suggest that the characters each died in different time periods.The theory can be read here. Not to be confused with the popular comic strip of the same name. | |

Terrible Trio | |
Cul-de-sac (Fanfic) / int_17330d6c | comment |
Terrible Trio: The Kanker Sisters are interpreted as demons who torment the kids, rather than dead children themselves. In revisions that add Big Picture Show to the mix, they switch to torturing Eddy's brother after the kids ascend to Heaven. | |

Diabolus ex Machina: The theory implies that the Kankers being literal demons explains why they tend to do this in the show. | |

Cul-de-sac (Fanfic) / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: When you get right down to it, the entire theory's premise is that most of the show's characters died as children. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Cul-de-sac (Fanfic) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: In the revised version—with the exception of Eddy's brother, all of the characters are children who died too soon, but after spending so much time in Purgatory, they all ascend to Heaven, able to rest and move on at last. Meanwhile, Eddy's brother is dragged into Hell, where the Kanker Sisters (here depicted as demons rather than souls of the dead) proceed to make him suffer for his crimes. | |

Would Hurt a Child: The unnamed serial killer who murdered Nazz and her entire family. Also Kevin's Dad, though debatably unintentionally as he was drunk at the time. | |

Cul-de-sac (Fanfic) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: One version of the theory has Jimmy commit suicide due to being bullied for his Camp Straight personality instead of him dying from leukemia. One can see it as a Take That, Audience! due to the amount of grief Jimmy is given by fans for the same thing. | |

Cul-de-sac (Fanfic) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: The serial killer who targeted Nazz didn't get any comeuppance for it, though in some revisions to the theory, he was arrested a few days later and ultimately executed. Likewise, the original version of the theory made no mention of Kevin's father being punished for killing his own son, though some revisions state that he went to prison and was eventually killed by one or more of his fellow inmates. | |

Dark Fic: The theory suggests that each kid died in some way. Some of the deaths can easily be construed as gruesome, one example being Rolf having died because of being trampled to death by cattle. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Nazz pretended to be dumb as a way with coping from the trauma she sustained from her untimely demise. Ed also did something similar; however, it apparently worked too well as he gradually shut everything out of his life. | |
