I assume ed edd n eddy are one of those shows where the charaters do succeed in doing their fools errand, It's just the creators focus of the days they fail or mess up.

>"Hey mom, can I have some cash to buy jawbreakers with the guys?"
>"Oh no you don't! Yer not gettin a dime from us, bud!"
>"But dad-!"
>"What, you think I get everything I want just because I ask for it? I have to work my butt off to pay for this house, the car, our food, and darn near everything else we own! You want jawbreakers so bad? Make the money yerself, maybe then you'll appreciate the value of a dollar then!"

the other day I had a dream that the edd boys and the kankers hugged eachother

I don't know why but that dream made me feel happy

I'm a sad lonely person

To me, Eddy's dad always seemed like the kind of guy who wanted his son to learn the value of money because he came from nothing and had to work hard to get to where he was. Kind of like Scrooge McDuck.

This.
also maybe his family is actually more poor than the others?
because sometimes even Double D have cash.
but there is an indicator about the "self-mademan mentality" because his brother own an Amusement Park.

Eddy's dad is a sleazy car salesman. He probably encourages him to scam kids out of their money.

In the scam where eddy's trying to sell bicycles he says that his dad sells stuff all the time. what do you think he sells? I figured he's probably a used car salesman, but he's gotta be kind of successful since both of his son's bedrooms are fucking swag af. There's no way eddy bought that disco ball and record collection himself, he would have bought candy instead

>And why didn't he just ask his parents to buy?

Eddy's dad would beat the shit out of him if he came into the house before 6 pm.

Could always have been stuff he liberated from the city dump. Everything he had was like 70s and 80s stuff and often tacky as hell, easily the kind of stuff you might find in the trash.
