Plank
Plank is a "character" from the Cartoon Network series Ed, Edd n Eddy. He is the imaginary friend of Jonny 2x4 and is literally just an inanimate hunk of wood with a face crudely painted on. The original object meme pick, he is often brought up in comparison to his inanimate successors Propane and Ebony & Ivory, albeit in a more positive light since unlike the aforementioned Plank is technically still an actual character in the show.
Tournament History[edit]
Plank's first appearance was in Mr. /co/lympus 2019 where he scored an impressive seed of 33, even higher than actual Ed, Edd n Eddy characters Rolf and Eddy. Plank defeated Nick Wilde in round one, perhaps aided by anti-furfag sentiment. He then went on to engage in a fierce round two battle with Brock Samson, losing by only 13 votes.
Plank's relative success was a cause of anger for some, causing those anons to complain about how a characterless piece of wood was able to have such success against actual major characters, and about /co/'s support of perceived meme characters. Plank voters however mocked these posts, continuing their belief in Plank's character.
Plank had enough votes to qualify as the 34rd seed but missed out on particpating in 2020 due to the three character per series rule.
Plank returned for his second run in Mr. /co/lympus 2021 with a record-high 26th seed. While he did humorously keep Eddy from taking the third spot from his series, this bout ended quickly after he was taken out by Mojo Jojo in the first round.
After 2021, Mr. /co/'s voterbase has prioritized Ed, Edd, and Eddy as the show's three allowed representatives in the tournament, with all three continuously receiving top 10 seeds (the lowest between any of them being 11th in that timeframe). However, none of them have yet to reach the Elite Eight. As such, Plank has not qualified since 2021, as he was excluded by the three per series rule in 2022, 2023, and 2024, his fourth time he was restricted from qualifying due to this rule.
Despite the new rule restricting inanimate objects, Plank is grandfathered into the tournament roster. He will next be eligible in Mr. /co/lympus 2025.
