Introduction

Double D's Facts Book is an exploitable meme featuring Edd (Double D) from the animated series Ed, Edd n Eddy, holding a book titled 'Facts' to humorously convey opinions as if they were factual statements.

Background

The meme consists of two panels; the first shows Edd holding a red book labeled 'Facts,' while the second panel reveals the contents of the open book, often filled with humorous or absurd opinions. Variants of the meme may use different book titles to enhance the comedic effect.

How It Began

The origin of this meme dates back to November 17, 2003, when Cartoon Network aired the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode titled 'A Twist of Ed.' In a notable scene, the character Edd holds a psychology book towards the camera, which serves as the basis for the meme. On July 3, 2017, Facebook user Damarko Berry shared an edited screenshot from this clip in the Ed, Edd, N Eddy Scamposting Facebook group.

Meme Evolution

On July 9, 2017, Damarko Berry created a variation of the meme, adding the text 'What to Protest When You Want Attention' on the book and listing liberal causes in the second panel. The image gained traction, leading to further adaptations. On August 11, a Reddit user posted a version featuring the phrase 'Liking traps makes you gay,' which garnered over 175 points in the /r/AnimeMemes subreddit. Subsequently, variations continued to spread across platforms, including notable posts on Facebook that received thousands of reactions and shares.
