Published November 9, 2026

Double D's Facts Book is a two-panel exploitable from Cartoon Network's Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which the character Edd holds up a red book of 'Facts' and opens it to display the poster's opinion. Facebook edits of the 2003 scene began in July 2017, and a /r/MemeEconomy post the following month moved the template into wider Reddit meme traffic.

Overview

Posts use a two-panel composition. In the first panel, Edd holds a closed red book with a word like 'Facts' or 'Psych' edited onto the cover. In the second panel, the book opens toward the camera to show the poster's opinion written across the two inside pages3.

Edd's prim, bookish demeanor on Ed, Edd n Eddy is central to the joke1. A character known in the show for reading textbooks appears to deliver authoritative information, so a petty hot take on the open page reads as deadpan sarcasm. Double D's Facts Book edits use a short cover title so the longer punchline has room on the open spread.
