Talk:An Under-Edd's-Hat Theory/@comment-71.136.235.234-20130411015336

I actually have a contribution to make to the blond theory.

As shown in multiple episodes, such as In Like Ed and Too Smart For His Own Ed, Edd is incredibly proud in his intellect. So much so that there are times that he abandons rational thought just to prove his intellect. Take In Like Ed for example. Eddy thinks Kevin is a spy. It seems rather  odd that the normally rational Edd would so willingly accept such an outlandish idea. And yet, Eddy states that Kevin knows more than Edd does. Edd replies with a sarcastic, "Oh, really". He even seems to be angry as he walks away. Why would Edd, who everyone sees as the smart kid, respond in such a way? Especially since he's so docile? It seems rather defensive for someone who doesn't even have any intellectual competition. So what makes him so on edge? Personally, I think that he was called a "dumb blond" when he was younger. Joke or not, it made an impact. Even as a little kid Edd is shown to be an intellectual and proud to be one. So being called a dumb blond would really hurt his pride. I've seen "dumb blond" jokes a lot. And I've actually met a few people who weren't taken seriously because they were blond. It's silly, but it does happen.

When it comes to Ed Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, I don't really think that the comments that Ed and Eddy made are really that important. They're just goofing around and making fun of Edd and whatever is under his hat. If there was anything serious under there, I think their reaction would be much more severe.

My personal thoughts on the theory splinter here. There's completely black hair and black tips which I think both have reasons.

Blond hair dyed completely black: Simple enough. Edd doesn't like being called a dumb blond so he dyes his hair black. Of course, in four to five weeks the blond roots would start showing. So he would have to touch up the roots. Edd is pretty consistant, so there's no doubt that he would remember, but he uses the hat as a precaution. Just in case he hasn't had the chance to dye his hair.

Black tips: Dyes aren't normally that harmful, except to hair, but there's a possibility that Edd might worry about them. That's why he only dyes the tips. He doesn't want to get any of the dye on his skin. (I personally think that this theory is a little silly. Wouldn't blond hair with black tips only stand out more?)

Well, those are my thoughts on the blond theory. Oh, hey, just wanted to mention something. Because Edd is a male, it should be spelled "Blond". It's blonde for females and blond for males. :)
