How would a reboot of Ed, Edd n Eddy be like?

Given what's sexy at Cartoon Network
At best: Clarence/Uncle Grandpa typed humor
At worst: Craig of the Creek/PPG 2016
Realistically: Nonexistent since it wouldn't bring anything new.

Terrible. They'd replace the whole shtick of scamming kids out their money with something "kid friendly" like general slice-of-life bullshit that seems to be permeating western animation lately.

People talk a lot about the charm of EE&E
I never get that.
They say "Oh but it is just a show about kids doing kid shit that was unheard of"
Yeah nevermind Weekenders, Rocket Power, Hey Arnold, Recess, and the dozens of other shows that are kids doing kid stuff.
EE&E was populated with characters that were really shitty people, constantly at odds with each other, and the voice acting was incredibly shrill. On top of that, it's all non-sequitur gags and tired plots. Even when I was a kid, the jawbreaker obsession of the show came off entirely as an adult writing something they think kids would be into and there's so many hollow affectations like that throughout the show that it's hard to find any sort of resonance in the Eds' chicanery. The animation was generally good, but that alone couldn't carry the show for me and the visual style was always something that I wasn't a fan of. In particular, the art for the title cards was the sort of John K. grotesque bullshit that I've never found appealing as it rang as yet another attempt at blindly stabbing for something kids might like.

Anyway, EE&E is obnoxious and it baffles me why people on /co/ praise it the way they do.

It's mostly due to the fact that they've tried to see Mr Antonucci the same way they saw that same John K or Mr. Vasquez: someone who could've easily stuck to his roots and made adult animation/comics but used his august knowledge (in his case of the classic era Fleischer studios) to translate that same adult cynicism and wit into a children's show while trying to make it as multigenerational as possible rather than trying to stay relevant with the audience at the time and, unfortunately, relate with it.

It's the same with Peanuts, except the hypocritical douchebaggery amongst the characters is amplified to the point it's worse (especially with the holiday specials, imo).

I'm serious, I don't really get the appeal of the show and I think its praise is unwarranted. The fact that someone could interpret not liking EE&E as bait is exactly the kind of /co/ shit that baffles me. It's a fucking bad show. It's not as bad as Cow and Chicken, but it's pretty fucking shitty. It's as if, ten years from now, people on /co/ just started praising Brickleberry or Problem Solverz or something like that as some immutably good show worthy of praise.

Listen here retard, that's my childhood and if you speak bad about it, KYS.

Just kidding, but the charm of it is that those asshole kids would very often get what's coming to them because of the show being slapstick oriented. So they might get the shit smacked out of them. Now there were some episodes that were particularly mean spirited towards the Ed's and I tend to not watch them. But for the most part, the stories, the fact some of eddy's scams are actually decent ( the cruise and and canadian squirt guns come to mind, and the fact that the writing and animation are top notch makes it a great show

I find it strange how you didn't say anything about the sound design.
I find it hard to believe that your closest comparisons are Cow and chicken, bricklefuck or solvers.
I find it hypocritical that you complain about grotesque bullshit but use a southpark reaction image (this one is reaching)

It's ok to not like things dude, but EE&E is not a "bad show" just because you don't like it.

The sound design is cartoonish and goofy and fits the slapstick of the show. It isn't for me, but I would get why other people like it.
I don't use those shows as comparisons for their content, but rather, for their overall quality and how easy it is to forget they exist. EE&E feels like a show that should have been forgotten and scarcely talked about but it's always held up here with tons of praise. I find it equally baffling that The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is usually put in people's top 5 cartoons from CN as well, but I found B&M to just be dumb whereas EE&E is aggressively, annoyingly stupid.
At least EE&E doesn't do grotestque cutaway gags near as much as Spongebob did, thank christ.
I agree, it isn't a bad show just because I don't like it. It's also not this perfect best-of-the-best cartoon that people put it on a pedestal as.

What WOULD be the perfect, "best-of-the-best" cartoon from that era be then?
Nothing had the staying power to match EE&E, nothing is as timeless. It was cartoony without being TOO cartoony. The characters worked well with each-other, it has universal appeal on a world wide scale.

Hoh boy too bad all of that is wrong.
As far as better shows from that era from CN itself, you've got:
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Dexter's Lab
Samurai Jack
Powerpuff Girls
There's even shows I'm not a huge fan of but would definitely rather watch like
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Codename Kids Next Door
Again, nevermind the other cartoons coming out at the time like Hey Arnold, Avatar, Invader Zim, Kim Possible, Clone High, MLAATR, etc.
>>111536437
I only ever see the show talked about on /co/. No one else gives a shit.
I guess it could be absolutely forgotten

People who try to frame EEnE as a slice of life show like that are utter retards. I always found the best way to describe it is a Three Stooges-styled slapstick. But the real draw of it is, since it's animated, the writers are able to take the slapstick to extreme levels. It's a cartoon where the writers take full advantage of the medium

I think Invader Zim was alright, though.
Part of why I post in EE&E threads when they pop up is because I still don't understand entirely why people actually like the show as much as they do--that and to break up the circlejerk that those threads end up becoming.

Yeah, it's a lot more honest to say the show is an extreme slapstick series than anything else.
In which case, I can at least justify that it just isn't a genre that I'm interested in, though I wonder why the same people aren't holding up stuff like Tom and Jerry or Looney Toons nearly as much. Is it that EE&E grounds itself more with the whole culdesac/human characters?

I've talked about old Cartoon Network shows with co-workers before. Many of them remember EEnE pretty well. I'm talking about core millennials and even older zoomers here.

You're right, PPG and Dexter's Lab are more well known, but EEnE isnt that obscure either.

I'd say that's a factor in it. It's also why I made the Three Stooges comparison rather than Looney Tunes/Tom & Jerry. They've even got a similar format where three layabouts (Ed/Curly, Edd/Larry, and Eddy/Moe) constantly come up with get-rich-quick schemes to the detriment of everyone around them.

Also, while EEnE characters often have heavy objects dropped on them twist their bodies into impossible shapes, it's not on the level of those classic cartoons where they're turning into objects or painting pictures of tunnels on walls and then going in them. The setting does have some rules that restrain the slapstick a bit, but there's also some novelty in watching it happen to human characters rather than talking animals
