 * Ed, Edd n Eddy (They, as almost everyone on the show hates them, they are constantly humiliated from their attempts to earn respect from their peers, always getting sexually harassed by the Kanker Sisters, and doomed to fail at every money-making venture they've ever made. Ed is commonly abused and hated by his bratty, short-tempered younger sister Sarah, gets neglected and doesn't get much attention by his parents who favor Sarah over him and sides with her. Usually it's caused by his stupidity, and gets sexually harassed and tormented often by the Kanker sisters, especially May who has a creepily obsessed crush on him. Double D, despite his clearly polite manners and dexterous knowledge on all subjects, gets no respect from anybody. He never gets thanked or compensated by Eddy for all the hard work he puts into Eddy's scams, and usually all of Double D's incredible gadgets just go to waste because the scams fail to sell. Even so, if Eddy and/or Ed do something unethical then the kids assume Double D is equally responsible and punish Double D. Eddy is probably the biggest one of the three. He regularly suffers from making horribly rash decisions that ultimately backfire on him and in most cases the other two Eds. He often makes decisions that lead to horrid consequences out of greed, sadism or just plain stupidity. Even when he does nothing, he's been picked on by the other kids for his short height, middle name, a pimple, a bad school photo, etc. (it varies depending on the episode).

In the first-mentioned episode, he has trouble with his nut costume when his body accidentally switches sides from the side with the two holes for his eyes to see to the backside, which prevented him from looking where he was going, thus leading to him bumping into many things. Hugh also ends up in the Porkbelly Nut Fields, only to get attacked by squirrels. In the sister episode, most of the things the entire family did for Hugh on Fathers Day caused him to get injured in many ways, such as inviting an old friend of his, only to reveal that his old friend became his rival because Hugh stole his girlfriend (who could've been the one currently known as Lila, Johnny's mom) and have him assaulted as well as listening to loud music, leading him to end up in the hospital injured. In "Johnny Irresistable", there is a scene where Hugh got trampled by a bunch of people who wanted Johnny thanks to his irresistableness from his sister's invention. And finally in "JohnnyTube" when Johnny attempts to upload a video on the internet of a badger trying to attack him, the badger instead decides to attack Hugh when Hugh walks out of the house to scold Johnny to take out the trash resulting in the latter like in "Johnny's Daddy Day" getting severely mauled and injured by the badger to the point where he also once again has to go to the hospital and is later on seen in the episode on the way to the hospital in a hospital truck due to his injuries.)
