Talk:Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo/@comment-5350125-20120808040804/@comment-1915803-20140923154747

The events in "One + One = Ed" can be considered hallucinations, since it was implied to be as such when the Eds were seen scrambling to pick up all of Edd's notes towards the end of the episode.

Also, the outer space moments in "A Pinch to Grow an Ed" and "They Call Him Mr. Ed" are done in a tongue-in-cheek effort to exaggerate the specific exploits of the Eds in those particular episodes (the height capacity of the boots and the elevator, respectively).

In addition to this, the point about Edd's tongue being ripped off in "A Fistful of Ed" is a moot one, because there are plenty of other occasions when severe bodily injury is enacted upon one or more of the characters in multiple episodes, but recovery is almost instant.

Obviously, this is a cartoon, and thus things don't need to be realistic, and are done with comedic intent. Part of Ed, Edd n Eddy's charm is the absurd, slapstick exaggeration. But if you were to consider all these things canon, then you are embracing the idea that the world of reality in the show encompasses two-second recovery time, immediate entry into outer space, and psychedelia-esque endeavors. If they were truly canon, why then are they not acknowledged in future episodes? To me, you do not need an official admission of noncanonity when it is very clear that these things are included as non-plot-related comedic expressions.
