Plank

Plank is the imaginary friend of Jonny 2x4 in the form of a plank of wood. Although he is claimed to be alive, he is never heard or seen moving on screen. However, Jonny seems to be able to understand what he is "saying", but this is likely just Jonny's imagination. Ed probably also thinks that Plank is alive. It is unknown whether Plank really is alive or not due to hints of Plank "moving", such as the scene in Gimme, Gimme, Never Ed. Such in the episode, Eddy seems to dislike him for hurting him in various ways. Plank is enrolled in Peach Creek Jr. High and plays on the football team and participated in the annual school spelling bee, which he failed for not speaking. However, Jonny claims Plank did speak and spelled it right, this caused Jonny to proclaim Nazz who hosted the event a wood hater and seek revenge, but forgave her by the end.. Jonny became Captain Melonhead in the episode Robbin' Ed. Plank became Splinter the Wonder Wood in the same episode. Plank seems to be the cause of most of his troublesome predicaments. Jonny even created parents and friends for Plank. There is a rumor that in the movie, Plank will rip into two and Jonny gets a new piece of wood called New Plank.

Old Plank
Old Plank seems to have rotted over the years and still stays with Old Jonny. Half of his mouth and eye seem to have been rubbed off and now plays chess with Jonny a lot.

Plank's Family
Plank's mother and father appeared in "Postcards from the Ed". They appear to be very hyper tourists and carry a camera and a Hawaiian T-shirt. Eddy tries to give them a tour around the cul-de-sac but ends up decapitating their heads on the monkey bars in the playground. In the end of the episode, the Eds are tied up to a tree surrounded by wooden pirates and thugs, possibly the bad side of Plank's family.



Alias

Living Being?
Fans often question if Plank is a living organism, due to how he appears to move and speak for himself. Danny Antonucci confirmed Plank is an inanimate object in an interview on the season two DVD. This leads the fans to believe that Jonny is the voice behind plank, and uses Plank to express his rude feelings and do bad deeds. In another episode, however, he is seen reading a book about mind control, while Jonny sits there with a blank expression, implying that Plank is alive and is controlling Jonny's mind. However, this is more likely to be a joke.
