Eddsworld is a British [2] [3] 2D Flash-animated web series created by Edd Gould. Since its premiere on 6 June 2003, the series has been published through Newgrounds, DeviantArt, YouTube, Albino Blacksheep, Tumblr, SheezyArt, and an official website. [4]
Following Gould's death on 25 March 2012, [2] Thomas Ridgewell (the former voice actor of Tom) became the series' new showrunner, launching a crowdfunding campaign to continue the show titled Eddsworld: Legacy. [5] [6] [7] Preceding the release of Eddsworld: Legacy's final episode, Ridgewell announced he was leaving the show and handing control of the series to Matthew Hargreaves (voice actor of Matt) and Gould's family. [7] [8] To this day, Hargreaves remains as the last original member of the foursome working on the series.
On 1 January 2017, the show's website went back online with new Eddsworld comics written and illustrated by Matt Hargreaves. On 1 August 2020, a new short titled "Fan Service 2" was released to kick off a new era of the show called Eddsworld Beyond, with Hargreaves as showrunner. [9] As of February 2023 [update] , the Eddsworld YouTube channel has more than 4 million subscribers. [10]
At the time of Gould's death, his YouTube channel had the most subscribers in the comedian category for the United Kingdom and was the 4th most viewed comedian in the United Kingdom. Eddsworld was noticed by the organizers of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference who commissioned an episode about climate change, used in the opening ceremony of the conference. [11] [12]
Eddsworld follows the misadventures of a group of young adult "morons" living together in a house somewhere in London: Edd, an artist obsessed with Coca-Cola and telling puns; Tom, a jaded nihilist and alcoholic who lacks visible eyeballs (it is constantly debated by the fandom whether he has no eyes, or if they are just completely black); Matt, a dim-witted narcissist; and (prior to his departure) Tord, a trigger-happy Norwegian addicted to hentai, a gun expert, and an interested communist. The series is generally episodic, and typically has little, if any, continuity between episodes. This results in many episodes featuring the characters dying, and then appearing in the next episode as if nothing happened.
