About
Life has many doors, Ed-Boy! is a series of exploitable images based on the character Rolf from Ed, Edd n Eddy. Some versions are redrawing of Rolf as different characters, while others photoshop Rolf’s scene onto other images.
Origin
The original scene comes from the 4th episode of the second season of Ed, Edd n Eddy which aired September 20th 1999[1]. The episode is well remembered for it’s breaking of several laws of physics and being nonsensical overall. While the original scene is often quoted with the phrase: “Life has many doors Ed-Boys”, this phrase is said in an earlier scene by Rolf, with the actual phrase said in the scene scene being: “Hello, Ed-boys. Many doors, yes?”
