The son of George and Agnes, Eddie Haskell was the smart-mouthed best friend of Wally Cleaver. The character, played in the original series by Ken Osmond, has become a cultural reference, recognized as an archetype for the behind-your-back rebel. Eddie was the kind of friend parents such as Ward and June Cleaver wish their children would limit association with, but need to have to gain learning experiences. Ward once remarked that "[Eddie] is so polite, it's almost un-American".^[1] Even today, the phrase "Eddie Haskell" is known to refer to an insincere brown-noser. Wally Cleaver is a fictional character, the older brother of Beaver Cleaver on the popular U.S. television show Leave It to Beaver. ...

He was known for his neat grooming—hiding his shallow and sneaky character. Typically, Eddie would greet his friends' parents with overdone, good manners and often a compliment such as, "That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver." However, when no parents were around, Eddie was always up to no good—either conniving with his friends, or picking on Wally's younger brother Beaver. Eddie's two-faced style was also typified by his efforts to curry favor by trying to talk to adults at the level he thought they would respect, such as referring to their children as Theodore (Beaver's much-disliked given name) and Wallace, even though the parents called them Beaver and Wally.

A weaselly wise guy, Eddie could be relied upon to connive and instigate schemes with his friends—schemes for which they would be in the position of blame, if (and usually when) caught. One of his most infamous pranks with the Cleaver boys involved fastening a chain around the rear axle of their friend Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford's car, causing unplanned damage as the entire third member and wheels became detached when he tried to move the car. The prank has been repeated on police cars in scenes in the films American Graffiti and Gone in 60 Seconds. American Graffiti is a 1973 film directed by George Lucas. ... Gone in Sixty Seconds is a 2000 action film, starring Nicolas Cage, directed by Dominic Sena, and written by Scott Rosenberg. ...

A child-actor who became so memorable as the wise-cracking Eddie Haskell, Osmond went on to a real life career as one of the "good guys," whose job is "to Protect and to Serve." Osmond served an 18-year career with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). During his time on the force he worked in vice, narcotics and as a motorcycle officer. He retired after getting hit with three bullets while in a foot chase with a suspected car thief. He eventually returned to acting with appearances on Happy Days and the TV movie High School USA. Osmond reprised his role as “Eddie” on the TV series revival Still the Beaver and appeared in the 1997 feature film Leave It to Beaver. For the 1997 film, instead of attempting to replace Osmond's unforgettable Haskell character, Osmond played Eddie Haskell, Sr., with young actor Adam Zolotin in the role of Eddie Haskell, Jr. “LAPD” redirects here. ...

Trivia

• When Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, was a child, he considered Eddie Haskell to be his favorite character on Leave It To Beaver. He dreamed of giving Haskell his own show and in later interviews he sometimes pointed out that his character, Bart Simpson, was inspired by Haskell's behavior. Coincidentally, voice actor Harry Shearer, who does the voices of Mr. Burns, Smithers and Ned Flanders on The Simpsons played the character "Frankie" (a precursor to the Eddie Haskell character) in the pilot episode of Leave It To Beaver.

• The Achewood character Roast Beef uses the pseudonym "Ed E. Haskell," a reference to Eddie Haskell, when writing his underground zine "Man Why You Even Got To Do A Thing".

• In "Home Movies", a season three episode of the teen drama Dawson's Creek, the character Joey Potter calls another character, Pacey Witter, Eddie Haskell.
