Conn, Swagge n' Eddy (Original)

The title characters (from left to right) Eddy, Mr. Connman and Cooleo Swagge.

Conn, Swagge n' Eddy was a short-lived web series uploaded to YouTube starting with its premiere episode launching in 2014. The series centers around three vigilante crime fighters named Mr. Connman, Cooleo Swagge and Eddy the Scammer battling strange villains in their home of Commentary City. Some episodes, like the Five Nights at Eddy's episodes, don't necessarily follow the main trio fighting crime but rather procrastinating or enjoying their free time (in Five Nights at Eddy's case, it's them going on vacation). The series followed a mainly episodic format with some events from previous episodes mentioned, but then attempted to follow a serialized format with the ill-fated second season known as The Billy Saga, which lasted for two episodes and wasn't properly completed, leaving the series to end prematurely with only 6 episodes in 2015.

### Synopsis

Conn, Swagge n' Eddy are a team of vigilante crime-fighters who attempt to stop their city's most dastardly criminals. The three main characters consist of Mr. Connman, the leader of the team with an air of nonchalance, often times seen smoking a cigar with his eyes halfway open. Cooleo Swagge is the brains of the team, often using his own specially made inventions on missions and is more technologically inclined than the other two. Eddy the Scammer is a stubborn third wheel for the team whose clumsiness and all-around lack of responsibility leads to problems for the trio. Their enemies consist of David Wash, a burglar with a wolf mask who can hide in plain sight by just removing said mask, GurigorloX (Guri for short) a sentient cardboard box who kidnaps people, Dark Agumon, a now-deceased serial killer who attempted to drown a city resident before ultimately being killed, and Billy L., a young criminal wannabe who abducts Eddy and forces him to be his partner in crime in The Billy Saga. The trio don't entirely work alone, however, because they are often aided by allies such as The Cheese Ninja, a yellow clad ninja with teleportation powers, and Marry Swagge, Cooleo's wife.

### Episodes

The episodes initially were released on an almost monthly basis.

### Reception

Conn, Swagge n' Eddy was released to mild success on YouTube, but was still relatively obscure and niche, with most episodes just barely going over 1,000 views. It was praised in spite of its limited animation and technical shortcomings for gradually improving with each episode. Some viewers however enjoyed it ironically, often pointing at the series for its unintentionally goofier moments. Other viewers derided it for its poor quality.

### Animation

The series was digitally animated and was severely limited, with 80% of the episodes being still images for when characters are talking and 20% animation when the characters moved. Characters' mouths did not move when they spoke. This paired with the often crude drawings of the characters in a few episodes led to people comparing it to something done with Microsoft Paint. This was slightly improved upon in the Billy Saga however, when an attempt at tweening the characters' movements was made, and actual lip movement when they talked was implemented.

### Reboots

There were a few attempts to reboot the series. The earliest one announced in 2016 was scrapped during the early concept stages, the following one came in the form of a comic in 2017. The current reboot, which was intended to be another animated series, has come in the form of a new comic titled Conn, Swagge n' Eddy Urban Heroes.

### Trivia

* The intro sequence uses a metal cover of the Ed, Edd n Eddy theme song played by guitarist Ro Panuganti.
* Starting with Part 2 of the Billy Saga, the intro sequence had been revamped with new music and visuals.
* The drawings seen during the credits sequence of each episode were drawn by the real Mr. Connman sometime before the series' premiere.
