Who's worse, Larry Mondello or Eddie Haskell?

Marvo301 · 07-07-2010, 05:32 PM

I would say Eddie. It seems like when Eddie does something mean he's thought about it and knows exactly what he's doing. When Larry does something bad or gets Beaver in trouble it's because he hasn't thought things through or considered the consequences of his actions. Also when Larry does something bad he usually feels bad about it (not always bad enough to confess though!) whereas Eddie usually seems to have little or no conscience.

I too have to go for Eddie, he was an all around troublemaker.

catlover79 · 07-07-2010, 09:38 PM

Eddie - hands down!!!

howilu · 07-08-2010, 10:54 AM

Definitely Eddie. He was always a two-faced troublemaker.

old grouch · 07-08-2010, 01:03 PM

Another vote for Eddie.

Hughsgirl · 07-08-2010, 01:34 PM

I would have to agree that Eddie is worse....but somehow funny! LOL!

Oh yes - he was one of the best brown nosers in the history of TV.

Eddie of course. You just knew every time when Eddie came walking into the The Cleaver's house that All Hell was going to break loose. If I was The Beaver I would of hid somewhere when every Eddie came by.

One thing's for sure - things were never boring once Eddie showed up!! I'm surprised Eddie never went into politics as an adult.

Yeah Eddie never was boring.I always did like when he became sweet and charming to Mr and Mrs.Cleaver. "Gush Mrs.Cleaver,that sure is a pretty dress you are wearing."

Yeah I swear Eddie was always hitting on June. He's lucky Ward didn't blacken one of his eyes for it!

I say he was hitting on her because of the tone of voice he used when "complimenting" her. My husband made that comment to me and I think he had a point.

Gilbert Bates was pretty slippery,Eddie had the better wit though.

I've always thought Eddie could have been spun off to his own sitcom, the character was that funny. Sometimes the Leave It To Beaver writers wanted to show Eddie had a vulnerable side, like the episode where Eddie gets scared riding the roller coaster or the one where Eddie spends the night at the Cleavers because his folks are away and he's afraid to be at home alone. But Eddie is at is best when he's mischievious, the episodes he's featured in are some of the funniest in the series. Without Eddie, Leave It To Beaver would have had something missing, the show wouldn't have been as good without him that's for sure.
