So, Nickelodeon rejected Edd, Ed and Eddy so Cartoon Network took it, then years later Nickelodeon rejected Adventure Time for Cartoon Network to take it back yet again. Wow, Nickelodeon....Just, wow.
Cosmobo Animation & Comedy yup. not to mention Nick turned down Adventure Time instead choosing Fanboy & ChumChum! true story! look it up
Cosmobo Animation & Comedy Nickelodeon didn't reject Ed Edd N Eddy, the creator Danny Antonucci shared his idea to Nickelodeon they liked it but they wanted to buy his cartoon and make it into something else, so he went to Cartoon Network
Cosmobo Animation & Comedy I think nick has a certain style and comedy that they like to push to their viewers and I don’t think that they really fit, I couldn’t see either show on anything other than the creatively weird Channel that Cartoon Network is
Ouch...
What were they thinkin?!
Special Ed... I wonder why that was cut.
Danny said it was "too real." In reality, it never made it to storyboards, so it's probably nonexistent.

+Nicole Bell hm my guess is that it revolved around ed and maybe johnny 2X4 going by the title alone
Huh... I thought it was because of the fact that it's a bit too much of an insensitive name xD
Jared Lindsey not really when you think about it it's no more offencive than say advanced ed or highschool ed it's just a type of education nothing more nothing less
vladmir pootis I suppose that is true. lol sorry for thinking in the wrong way xp
It's scary to think that those old websites are just there. Sitting there. Not being used, abandoned almost.
TYCRAFT They are doors to the old world.
TYCRAFT Ghosts. Internet corpses.
TYCRAFT that's a scary thing to think about. Sad at the same time though.
The Red Vox song "Ghost Page" (Vinny/Vinesauce's band, btw) always reminds me of those kind of sites.
TYCRAFT You guys are some wimps.
As Rolf would say: Very good, web surfing Ed-boy
SwiftyShiftry ! lmao bro thats funny totally something that nigga rolf would say my g
I love ed edd n eddy!!!
It's a great show!!!
Rolf is cool.
SwiftyShiftry very good, web surfing Ed-boi
Ed, edd and knuckles
So funny cool.
Delet this
OSSO DeDeDelet this
Oh no.
real or fake: "Ed, edd and knuckles" sonic crossover
Man, the Ed fandom is really depressing nowadays. It's almost symbolic about how so many fan sites dedicated to a show about the fleeting nature of childhood innocence are now lost to the either..

trying to find quality eene fanart/etc is like digging through a dumpster looking for a gold bar. in this case, the trash in the dumpster is child porn.
man this feels like a creepypasta
anyone else get a creepy vibe while researching list episodes? i don't know why it just does
vladmir pootis At the end of the trail, there's only the Abyss.
vladmir pootis It certainly did give me chills.
I think its more so creepy just because seeing those once thriving forums long dead and silent is another reminder that everything we are doing now will turn out the same...
@Birds In Crime just like watching lost media content from Pizza Pan
Same, all weird "lost media" or things like old video game rumors make me feel a bit creeped out 😂 It feels like we're looking at an alternate universe or something..
Hey man, I saw your video and I'd thought I'd clear up a few things up about this mystery pilot. I was a member on the3eds in its heyday, and I remember seeing something about "3 Men" being talked about.
From what I remember, "3 Men" was supposedly the first series pitch, and not exactly a pilot and they only had four characters at that point. Those characters were more or less the precursors of Ed, Edd, Eddy, and Nazz. Eddy was Paris, Ed's character's name was Oslo or something. I can't remember what Edd or Nazz were called, though they might've been Berlin and London, and London was supposedly Paris's girlfriend.
In the pitch, it had them also being young adults, like somewhere around 17-19 or so, and more or less trying to get ahead in life. That was the pitch before Antonucci and the A.K.A. Cartoon crew wrote the series bible, and changed up the characters as well as adding new ones. The series bible is what they sent to Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, not too sure where they send "3 Men" to, but it might as well have been Comedy Central.
The series pilot for Ed, Edd, n Eddy is actually Pop Goes the Ed, and it kind of shows as its animation is a lot more messy than even the other Season 1 episodes.
Just because it was most likely to be produced first doesn't really make it the pilot.
I also have memory of three men as well. For a while it was actually on the main page describing the history of the show on the Ed, Edd, n Eddy Wikia. I remember there were three characters named after European capitals and their female love interest that would become Nazz. It also explained all of the characters interests. All I can remember is something about Eddy's character enjoying to read dirty magazines in the bathroom. The page also claimed that it was actually aired on Comedy Central.
Steve TV That's awesome that you work for the eds
Are there pictures in the web from 3 men?
How do you know all this?
normal people: "it's ed,edd n eddy"
internet people: "it's whom, whom'st, and whomst'd"
Evidence? Do you mean, EDvidence?
William Rothan Yes just YES
William Rothan Bum dum tss
This is the comedy police! The joke is too funny
Lol
Nice 👍
In the creators room:
"Let's make a show about 3 dudes, more adult oriented, you know?"
"Nah, let's make them kids. Easier to sell to studios. I need to pay rent."
"Alright"
That's probably as far as "3 Men" got. If it ever existed.
then came “workaholics”
you are like the only person that doesn't make lost media scary and I can actually watch it. THANK YOU!!
No problem! "Scary" and clickbait lost media videos bother me in the sense of them being very misleading most of the time, so I try to be honest with my content.
+LSuperSonicQ hey do you ever get a creepy vibe while researching these things
(no offence but you're just like a protagonist in a creepypasta except you're not an idiot and this creepypasta isn't a crock of old shit)
Yeah, I think it's just ridiculous if they have to add some sort of creepy music, lol.
Nickelodeon didn't reject Ed Edd n Eddy, they accepted it but wanted complete creative control. Danny didn't want to sell out, so he said no and pitched it to Cartoon Nework.
He knew hid idea was good, and that is one of the many reasons why I call Mr. Antonuccci my idol.
Ed Edd n Eddy was created as a dare by one of Danny's friends. Basically saying "hey dickbrain bet you can't make a kids show dweebzilla" and Danny was like "Fuck you" and made it happen.
What I personally believe, is that 3 Men existed, but it wasn't picked up. So when Danny's friend gave him the dare, he decided to re-hash the show idea into Ed Edd n Eddy. Which ended up working better as a show about kids during summer break.
Just my personal theory though. I could be totally wrong lol.
Ah shit just finished the video. Rip. But it wouldn't be something unexpected, I suppose.
I like to imagine that this all happened similarly to Lupo the Butcher.
With the limb dismemberment that implies.
"hey dickbrain I bet you can't make a kids show dweebzilla "
This is the best thing I've ever read.
i can see why special ed was taken out
Andrew Pestotnik and sjws.
Mick & Mr Triangle Productions No, contrary to popular opinion/scapegoating, "snowflakes sjws lol" isn't the answer to everything. It's just generally considered in bad taste to mock mentally disabled people, especially in shows aimed at kids.
To some extent, I think I figured out why people couldn't "agree" if it was called "3 Men" or "3 Dudes"...
There's this old article from 1999 that I found that talks about "Ed, Ed, 'n' Eddy" coming to Cartoon Network, which gives a bit of details about the characters and how long each episode would be, among other things.
The thing that gets me is that the article is called "3 Guys, One 'Toon".
It makes me wonder if people didn't read this article about the "beginning" of the show and misinterpreted it as a "pilot" when in actuality, it was the article equivalent to a documentary/behind-the-scenes thing.
It was a dare? That's rad.
R-R-R-RADICAL
Super Sophisticated all that ten years of runnings was all a dare! I'll look up more info on it!
Super Sophisticated IT'S DARE (unh)
Greatest dare of all time
So the show was rejected by Nickelodeon, only to have it picked up by Cartoon Network.
Now where have I heard that before?
srbarkerchan Adventure Time
srbarkerchan
You mean to say you now know AT was NOT the first time Nick dropped the ball since Eds came first
I actually do remember the 3 Men rumour from when it was happening, definitely just somebody trying to pass off their fanfic ideas as a real episode, think it started as a wikia page. I remember the3eds and I'm actually sad, had no idea it was gone because I hadn't checked on it in years but I guess it had to go sooner or later.
Hearing the EEnE soundtrack in the background made me feel hella nostalgic for a moment there.
Your lost media videos are so interesting. Keep it up!
PkmariO64 Yep!😊
PkmariO64 GENO WHIRL
PkmariO64
Yes
great video makes me miss Ed Edd and Eddy
Kinda sad that website from a decade ago are so outdated like wt...f
Yea it's almost as though all but one are dead sites from a decade ago that died off with most of the fandom a decade ago.
Oh wait...
mattwo7 What?
well danny DID make adult party cartoons and wanted to but was dared to make a kids show hence ed edd n eddy so it's nit COMPLETELY unbelievable
Im in love with videos like this of lost media! They always have such an unintentional, creepy air to them! I love your channel dude, you gotta keep making vids like this because they are great!
Thanks! I got lots more lost media content coming, including some more cartoon pilot stuff.
Maybe I can find out more about this lost episode or the concept art for it do you want me to check I'll check for you I'll do anything for you if you'll do more rumor episodes or more loss video episodes do it for me and I'll just wait for you by and I'll look up 3 men I'll see what I can get there anything left over okay bye
Jokes on you! I have a copy of the pilot....I wish I could say that.
OH COME ON WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom says not to pick my belly button!
copy it for me
what a liar it says it's unreleased as it's never been seen by anyone,don't listen to this liar they don't have a copy of it
vro he was kidding
LSuperSonicQ This video is great. It's an interesting thought. A lost mature ed edd n eddy show. I KNOW WHAT THE 3 MEN PILOT IS! IT'S CALLED THE THREE STOOGES!
11/10, would IGN.
Wat no
Blaque Link xD
r/woooshes
You may not want to read any kind of fan fiction even if it may find something
ESPECIALLY one named "3 Men"...
brb, gonna make a series bible about this series and pitch it to Danny Antonucci
I swear ive seen an episode titled "Luck Be An Ed Tonight"
Luck BeAnEd Tonight
_Off I go..._
lilsingingsensation same.
lilsingingsensation I need to see it.
And what happened???????????
You might be thinking of the Luck of the Ed
Kek, Keek, and Keeky
Mr.Video Vgm lol
Mr.Video Vgm kin, kink and kinky
Mr.Video Vgm *Kek, Kekk, and Kekky
KekCroc is fake
Y.W.E. Wrestling my whole life is a lie
have you tried contacting the show's creator and asking him?
OperationFatGuy sometimes they won't want to answer
Double D:”Intriguing video”
Eddy:”Whatever”
Ed:”I’m a wood pecker”
Never knew about this episode :O
same
You know your fanfic is good if it an be confused for a lost episode.
I'm 15 and I remember seeing "Special Ed" in sometime around 2010 when they would put on reruns
D'Angelo McMath i remember seeing special ed as a kid
I Hate Haters and Emos! from what I know, yeah Garbo yeah so it shouldn'be been on TV back then
It was cancelled and only got as far to writing from what I know, I could be wrong though.
Dank Furby You are correct buddy!!! We are good youtube friends!!!
I remember watching this show back when it was on.
I remember your forum post about this. Good job, man.
i miss the old cartoons man
the real pilot was called ed's eddy
Well to be totally accurate, the technical official pilot is called "The Ed-Touchables", but I think that's really just the first episode and not a true pilot.
i was just joking
up that's the real pilot
*yup
[NeckSweater] onion If Ed's Eddy was the real pilot, could this mean that 3 Men is ACTUALLY a pilot for the 3 New Stooges?
But couldn't we just ask the creator?
I've always wanted to live in the show
"20 years old" fuck me im old.
LSSQ is the archaeologist of the digital age
Paul Serino Honestly.
3 men exists, it's called Trailer Park Boys
WildMattata WHERE IS IT AND HOW DID YOU FIND IT
@@yossuahcurbelo8476 your joking right he was kidding trwiler park boys was a completely diffrent show if you didnt know
@@justsopuffer5600 Yeah why do you think it's in all caps
And it's funny asf.
I watched the first episode of Trailer Park Boys and I knew deep down in my soul, this is how the edds grow up to be. Might as well be a cannon continuation.
idk why I would've thought of a creepy pasta *shivers in the corner* but great video
I came here because of the Me And My Friends video, and let me tell you, I love your channel already. Brings back a lot of nostalgia, if you ask me.
This video/rumor gave me a huge interest to dig deeper in the "3 Men/3 Dudes" mystery, however upon searching, I found nothing that wasn't mentioned in this video...but there's one thing worth noting, which I haven't seen in the comments here, is that there's lost episodes of The Brothers Grunt. Enough for an entire season. Could it maybe have been that?
Damn, the person who wrote the Angry Beavers fanfic must've been a really good author if it convinced people that it was an actual episode.
Man it's so interesting learning about this rumored/lost stuff. It's really neat seeing that there are essentially thriving communities for just about everything online
I was actually a very active member on The3Eds back in 2007-2014, and I can pretty much tell you what I remember from it:
I remember, around the time I joined the forum, the forum actually LISTED "3 Men" in its 'Episodes' sub-section with a similar description to the one you provided.
However, I remember it being removed about a year into my membership, and the following discussions about it being that it was "Thought to be fake" and had "no evidence towards its existence".
So yeah...it probably didn't exist. Still, awesome video and AWESOME to see The3Eds featured so prominently in a video! I used to go on there ALL THE TIME as a kid!
Glad I found your channel, I like these mystery videos about the cartoons I watched as a kid!
Thanks! Hope you continue to enjoy!
I very specifically remember an episode where Ed wasn't so stupid, all I really remember was he was playing with a plane and he wasn't quite friends with Edd and Eddy, and I think the plot revolved around the plane Ed was playing with, I think Eddy was trying to screw Ed out of it. It was the first time I saw the show.
I really liked this video. Especially with the mysterious jazz music played durring the archive browsing. It was a nice touch.
LSuperSonicQ my first foray into your channel was this video and I am very impressed! You just earned a new Subscriber! Thank you for all your hard work! Very fascinating and well produced! Cannot wait to watch more!
This takes me back, man lol. Earth to ed, 3eds, zebunker, edtropolis...these places and deviantART are where I pretty much lived in 2009-2010. 😂
in a lot of these cases I wonder if the fandom ever just.. asked the creators. A lot of these creators seem pretty forthcoming.
IDK WHY, but I always like the video before it even starts up. :)
yOU ARE a genius, using your human brian to gather research, and bring up things to light that will be gone forever, if not! really proud of you. :)
i'd do the same but im ill so not much coming from me. :p but this is really fun to watch and i adore lost/missing things.
Three men sounds so creepy and mysterious.
This is an excellent video, I'm really impressed with the depth of your investigating and you articulate your findings so well
I must admit I was initially put off by your lack of proper branding on your channel (weird username, low res intro card, generic nintendo profile icon) but I was wrong to do so, this video is very very well done.
I hope you can find away to brand yourself because you really deserve more subscribers and a more concrete identity, you are a real asset to the animation community on youtube!
Wait, so the show was rejected by nickelodeon but picked up by CN and resulted to be a sucess... then it happened again with adventure time... im honestly waiting for this case to happen for the third time xD
Artur T. I wouldn't hold my breath seeing how CN doesn't give a shit about anything that isn't TTG.
yeah, at this point now even CN in latin america has more variety (ben 10 was the TTG that is now in US here since the show premiered, and stopped in 2013). you still have adult swim and toonami there tho. but as we can see from the upfront, there isn't much good stuff besides OK.KO (lakewood plaza turbo) :(
Good editing and nice investigation. Thanks for this.
Man, learning the history of a lot of CN's great shows it seems there's a similar theme of Nickelodeon rejecting them.
I've always considered Workaholics to be like an Ed Edd n Eddy for adults
Trailer Park Boys is a better example of a Ed, Edd 'n Eddy for adults.
subbed and liked because I'm amazed how much research and digging this guy did props to you
Glad I found this video in my reccomended, just subscibed, can't wait to see what u come out with next
This is the 1st video of your videos. Love It! Subscribed!
I remember when "the3eds" was called "los3eds" originally, but the admin lost the website for whatever reason. I was more of a user on the Earth2Ed Forum, which was smaller but I preferred that anyway. I remember talks of episodes that were never made, particularly "Special Ed", I believe one of the admins of the site actually interviewed Danny Antonucci themselves when talking about it, and that's where I first heard of it.
As for this "3 Men" Pilot, I can safely say I've never heard of this until stumbling upon your video, it was never discussed on either websites to my knowledge, so it sounds like a more recent urban legend to me.
Damn that site used to have all the EEnE comic books that were made by D.C. Reading them felt like watching lost episodes! Used to have them but I lost that hard drive, hope you can still find them.
"talk about your favorite episodes" "smile for the ed"
what
Great video explaining the situation!
Maybe 3 Dudes was a small idea by Dan, but then he just lost intrest. Then, after the bet, he found the inspiration to rework it into Ed, Edd, n' Eddy.
Loved the video man. Subscribed for the great content.
Nickolodeon really doesn't know when to pick em when the fruit is ripe, do they?
Ya know, it's REALLY hard to tell just from the internet what is and isn't real. This probably isn't, since even old fans have seemingly forgot it, but I remember years ago I was at a friends place and he was obsessively pouring over the internet like half the whole time I was there reading aloud stuff on Dexter's Rude Removal and I thought that was total BS (one of the things he read was that there was an alleged screening of an uncensored version). That ended up being true. Then I remember an online friend of mine who passed away recently telling me rumors of a webseries that was a Cowboy Bebop spin-off starring VT. That was probably a hoax but ya never know.
Wow this is kinda surreal. I used to go to The3Eds forums back when it was active, and I'm a part of ZeBunker and the Discord server he asked questions to...never thought anyone would make a video with us in it lol
As a former Edtropolis mod, I don't know what the "3 men's masquerade" was supposed to referred to, but it certainly wasn't a lost pilot we were casually referencing all the time. Dunno why no one asked what it was, but that's not really evidence of anything. It was a big forum back in the day.
3 men following their dreams on Comedy Central?
It's *"Workaholics!"*
My favorite fanon from the Ed Edd and Eddy High School Community is suddenly everyone in the Cul Ve Sac thinks Ed's actually smart when he puts on a pair of glasses even tho his intelligence doesn't change at all
This show was on CN and not Nick? My life is a lie.
I appreciate the use of music from The Mis-Edventures! Pretty decent game if you're an Ed, Edd n Eddy fan.
I like the detail of them being named after world capitals
I was honestly expecting a shitty click-bait video when I was gonna watch this but this was actually really well researched and well made. Keep it up.
Awesome, thanks for the complement. When I make these kinds of videos I purposely try to pack them with as much information as possible. The clickbait lost media videos (as well as clickbait in general) has really gotten out of control on CZcams.
I loved watching this show when I was 3 I still love it today
I don’t know why but I get major anxiety every time I hear about lost pilot episodes.
are there any more information to those 3 un aired episodes?
I don't think this particular pilot never existed. Show creator Danny Antonucci came up with the concept of 3 friends being friends simply because they shared the same name. So being named after Paris etc isn't true.
Oh man, seeing those old forums and the years/dates they last had ANY activity, really takes me back to my teenage forum browsing.... I was never into any of the Ed, Edd and Eddy forums that there were (mostly because I just never thought about finding forums with communities dedicated to the show), but mostly video game or music related forums - I remember the url legendofzelda.com USED TO BE a fan-site, with a forum with a really fun community (I think anymore the website was acquired by Nintendo or some shit, not really sure). Anyway that site led me to finding ZSO/ZC (Zelda's Secret Ocarina, a site dedicated to any and all info on the beta content of Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, and LoZ: Majora's Mask - and Zelda Coalition was the forum that the site used). This was all around 2004-2005. I remember finding a sister-forum, or a very similar one anyway, but I can't remember the name :( It was something LIKE z64, but was NOT beta64.... it was similar to those two names though. Anyway, besides all this, I remember a massive music forum I once joined, but can not remember the name of. It was something like "ultimate music forum" but not called that. Then there was a Led Zeppelin fan-forum I remember joining at some point. Then I had found a Green Day fan-forum. And, as the years went on, I had found and was involved with a few different Nirvana forums, mostly in the discussion and sharing of bootlegs and stuff. But yeah, most of all this died off around 2009-ish. The last Nirvana bootleg forum I was part of, died off around 2011-2013.
There was one thing I wish you had mentioned. Before the show started, there were two early promos. One of them had the Eds getting chased by a big scary dog and Sarah, and it had a follow up where they were getting chased by a lawnmower. The animation in that promo was noticeably cruder than the show's first episode. The problem is that nobody seems to have the dog promo. Just the lawnmower one.
Awesome video, matey!
Here for a rewatch.
This video makes me want to go out and do my own research! This reminds me of the Luigi rumors in Mario 64
Btw I used to browse the3eds, the second page of that lost episodes thread had someone describe the three lost episodes like special ed with short synopsis
I miss the Eds. Kids who haven't seen it really have no clue what they're missing
First video I've seen by you and I'm asking myself, how the hell do you not have more subscribers?
Good stuff man, add another subscriber to the list.
Will do! Thanks much!
how come episodes get lost on a show with open info about production
Yeah. Never heard of it until i saw this on my YT home page.
Fun fact!: Someone drew EEnE **** and ended up creating Steven universe
From what I've heard, there was no pilot.
Danny Antonucci pitched the show to both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network was so competitive, they greenlit the show after just a few concept sketches and vague descriptions of the show that Antonucci faxed to the network.
d antonucci said that he just sent concept art to the channels
