Ok, maybe I'm just overexaggerating, but think about it. Three young tweens in a cul-de-sac with no parental supervision. That was the show I grew up on. A show about three boys named Ed.
One a dufos, another a genius and the third....a scammer.
Ok, that's more how the show is... a story about three boys with the same name, but why do I think they're Canadian? Well... it's where the show itself is created. As well as the creator, Danny Antonucci.
Born in Toronto, Danny dropped out of visual arts to create what would soon become, in my opinion of course, the best cartoon ever on Cartoon Network. He also worked on a number of series before then mostly with Hannah Barbara and MTV, and before doing Ed, Edd n Eddy...he did another cartoon that was mostly vile
It was called the brother's grim and it involved some disgusting imagery of people doing gross things. It's as if he was watching a lot of Ren and Stimpy crap to make this. The design is similar to Ed, Edd n Eddy, but it seemed that it was more meant for adults
How do I know Ed, Edd n Eddy are Canadian? Well, the voice actors of Ed, Edd n Eddy are. Where in Canada? Maybe Toronto where most of the animating, writing and much more go on with the show. Here are the voice actors that bring Ed, Edd n Eddy to life.
Matt Hill who voices dim witted Ed. He mostly known for voicing anime shows like Bayblade burst, Powerpuff Girls Z, and many more amines. He was born around the same place another Ed lived in. He also voiced in My little Pony, Friendship is magic. The character was named Wonderbolt Sorin'. He was also in a live action movie flop called Shanghai nights starring Jackie Chan.
Samuel Vincent is another Canadian actor who voices the intelligent Edd (with two D's). I have heard his voice before in other cartoons. Like Baby Loony Tunes when he voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy and Tweety. He also voiced in a cartoon called Littlest pet shop which I never heard of. He also did some anime projects like Matt did. He even voiced another pony in My Little Pony: The Movie
Now, we get to the schemer Ed known as Eddy. In real life, he's voiced by actor Tony Sampson from Vancouver, British Columbia. He isn't known very well in voice acting, but he does bring Eddy to life. He also has done other projects like Are you afraid of the dark as well as voicing in Dragonball Z and my little pony.
It doesn't feel like this show came from Canada....but with the voice actors as well the creator being from the Canadian border, it seems like this show as well as Ed, Edd n Eddy are definitely Canadian. Boy do I miss this show
