The conductor oscillating between professional and panicked. That's how I experience panic attacks and sometimes PTSD. Coincidentally, if injured enough I respond to the pain in a similar way if I'm struggling with it. I've spent much of my adulthood responsible for others, so I've had the prerogative to remain strong in all situations, even if panic reduces me to mentally reciting strategy game counters while my kid is in the E R.

[@LegendStormcrow]

Oh, and the train jerking like that, it must being going slow and the conductor never let off the electric acceleration. The cops likely never got ahold of the train because the conductor was still on the floor.

On the blind character many people are legally blind but not fully blind where they can see shapes, outlines, colors, etc often just in a pinhole or reduced capacity.

[@KaylaTsukinochan]

As a totally blind woman, myself, that's correct. Doctors use a number scale to determine how blind a person is. 2020 is perfect vision. As I've stated, I am considered totally blind, because my vision is offf the scale but I still have light and some color perception. I also have some distance too. So one theory is he can see some. But, sound also can determine size. How Harold was moving on the pole with how in close proximity he was.

True. Legally blind just means your sight cannot be corrected with glasses, contacts, and sometimes surgery. It doesn't mean you have no sight at all.

That and the weight on the poles would be noticeable. Most fat people are apparent by the way they walk.

[@aliztortamias523]

Hey Shawn, at 6:24 You were wondering how the blind Man could tell Harold was fat. As someone who is completely blind Myself allow Me to explain a bit. Different amounts of weight effect not only the throat and the way it presses on the vocal cords, but also the accuracy of the formation of the lips and cheeks when speaking. I have been blind for 19 years, and I can tell when someone is significantly over or under weight by listening to Their voices. 9 out of 10 times I'm correct. My best guess is the Man was able to tell using a similar technique. Hope this helps! And before anyone else asks, I'm a screen reader User, and that's what I used to post this comment.

[@Tiresias55]

5:37 This part is really interesting to me. To explain, I lost my sight when I was ten years old, which was in 1997, meaning I've been blind for 27 years. Despite this long amount of time, I can still remember vividly the cartoons I watched back then, including Hey Arnold. I remember this episode well, as it was always one of my favourites, the story just stuck with me. Everything about it is just perfect. The music, the claustrophobic atmosphere, the crazy characters featured in it, and of course the story. As for the question raised here, if we take into consideration the fact that the blind man may travel a lot via subway, he would know the layout of the cars, including the general location of the grab pole for passengers to hold on to. Secondly, Harold himself says "I'm an upside-down fireman" indicating he was climbing on something, this and the blind man's knowledge of the subway car's layout could be enough for him to put 2 and 2 together to determine Harold is improperly using the grab pole. As for the question about knowing Harold's weight, I grant you, this is harder, though the sound of Harold's voice may give him a clue? Though I'll admit I may be reaching on that one. I also love the voice acting, from the claustrophobic woman working through her mantra before switching places with her suddenly panicking therapist, (voice acted by the legend Tony Jay), to the subway conductor who is brilliantly voice acted by Dan Castellaneta. Everything about this episode is just so memorable and I can still remember it as if I watched it yesterday. Shawn, once again love your content my guy, your dark side of Hey Arnold is amazing, and I'd love to hear your review of the episode Weezin Ed! That episode always freaked me out, specially at the end where you see his ghost weeze-laughing on Elk Island as they row away!

[@CatholicDragoon]

On why they were so far from home a quick explanation is that that movie was only played in a few select locations. It's actually relatively common for a movie to be played in a single location in a whole region, especially if it's a non Hollywood or arthouse production as the big production companies in Hollywood go to good lengths to throttle any competition in the cradle. Based on how disappointed the kids were when they came out of the movie theater, I would surmise that they had rather high hopes for it, so maybe they had learned of this film and that this one location was the only place in the city that played it.

[@smassiha7881]

I can see them going to a theater far away if they were trying to see an R movie. Theaters near their home could recognize them thus risking getting into trouble with adults. And it makes sense that a kid would be afraid of the subway. As an adult, you just put your earbuds in and avoid eye contact and you’re good.

So I've been in the situation of the train (J train to be exact), The stopping force does send people flying, especially people who have a weak grip on the poles/handles. No one went crazy in the time we were stuck (2 hours) and luckily I was with 2 friends (One who was visiting NYC for the first time)

[@DuskTillShawn]

That’s crazy! Blowing my mind right now that there’s someone here who’s been in this exact situation!

[@ashkitt7719]

Fellow New Yorker. And yikes, I can barely do 2 minutes of being stuck. 2 hours would be maddening for me. Not that experienced with the J train, but some train lines are crappier than others. (Looking at you, G train.)

[@KylerWulff]

I have family in NYC and I've been on that subway. I can't even imagine being stuck on that. The closest I've ever gotten to a situation like that was when I took the Metra from Chicago back to my home in the suburbs on the night of Lollapalooza. Somebody got hit by a freight train (iirc) on our train line. We were delayed for about an hour or so. Then there were several freight trains on the line so our train had to move very slowly. I didn't get home until about 3am.

[@rometherevenant8749]

My favorite part of this episode was Harold hoarding food and than trying to gaslight that he didnt have any.

[@BramTheDemon]

I'll be honest here, I actually sympathize with everyone in this situation, even the conductor and mental health professional. The truth is, when you're stuck in a situation you believe to be hopeless, your brain freaks out. Human instinct tells us to survive, that's how our minds are wired, but when there's something threatening that survival that seems impossible to get around, our minds can start switching from calm and collected to extremely frightened and panicked. That's most likely why these two people acted so unprofessionally. In their minds, they believed this might have been the end for them, so, as said before, their minds started going crazy and it caused them to say things they probably wouldn't have said otherwise.

[@DuskTillShawn]

You’re 100% right! Our bodies natural response to danger is going to happen regardless of our profession! I appreciate your insight, my friend! ☺️

[@LiShuBen]

It’s definitely possible to feel someone’s weight via vibrations on the ground. I would think it would be even easier on a subway that has a floor that isn’t completely solid and Harold’s whole body weight would be transferred into the pole which would be going into the ground. I can see (da dum tss) the old man knowing Harold’s weight even though he’s blind.

I agree. Funny enough, in most other episodes of Hey Arnold, when the kids need to go somewhere, they usually just take the bus and that's considered to be normal for them.

To answer your question about the blind man and Harold's weight, usually when people are bigger their ways of speaking are a bit thicker as well. I lost a pretty decent amount of weight and notice that my voice is absolutely less heavy too if that makes sense

[@RenegadePandaZ]

As an adult, I'm more annoyed at Arnolds grandparents for not just calling a cab for them, or having someone pick the kids up.

[@DarkcIoud1111.]

In my area, there is a Regal theater and an AMC; back in the 90s and early 2000s they would sometimes split which movies they would show so the audience could only see Movie-X at Regal and Movie-Y at AMC. Maybe the movie they wanted to see was at that theater, they took the bus planning on taking it back, but the movie ran long and now they're stuck. Keep in mind that these are also children and even if the theater is only 5-10 miles away from Arnold's house, that could still take hours to walk even without Harold slowing them down. As far as the blind man being able to tell Harold was fat, he probably knows Harold is a kid by the way he sounds and can most likely feel the heavier vibrations when he walks.

[@BlindGirlUK]

@jonbourgoin182 I'm more than happy to answer such a polite enquiry. I read comments via a screen reader/text to speech software that comes built in to most smartphones. Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is a genetic disability that makes the collagen (the thing that makes your skin stretch) faulty. It makes our ligaments and tendons too stretchy to hold our joints in place, meaning they dislocate extremely easily. It also gives us gastric, bowel, heart, and other organ issues, aswell as constant pain in any area of the body (mostly joints) that mean we can't walk far, and we are in agony when we try to exercise, and we break bones more easily too (I fell 6 inches to the ground and shattered my elbow into 5 pieces because it makes our joints overextend).

The emergency brake wouldn't be that violent outright. But, it does have to be quick enough to avoid potential collisions, and would happen with minimal warning. So it would likely feel as it's demonstrated.

Whichever one you want to do I'm happy with as long as I get to watch you and I really enjoy these anyway

[@Kidapollo92]

Shawn me and only a few other people are the only ones I know to mention grandmas odd behavior . Like Arnold is like oh yeah grandma gets like that sometimes but I’m like is this not her being senile or manipulative because on serious moments she tends to drop the crazy enthusiastic bit so it could be for her own amusement.

[@LawrenceUnknown106]

I know it won't happen anytime soon, but I know a dark side video of Sid will be interesting.

[@DSdemon767]

30:43 theres a very later episode where grandma becomes a film noir style dectective (with arnold) to recover grandpa’s stolen packard. In the end you hear arnold’s thoughts “i wonder what its like to have normal grandparents?”. Arnold loves them but they can be overwelming for him too

[@vicky_uche8349]

I remember this episode making me nervous about taking the subway.

[@robinkholmes7127]

When I think I've seen every creepy or suspenseful "Hey Arnold" episode... Then I see this.

[@DuskTillShawn]

Right? I remembered this one but looking back on it, it's WAY more suspenseful now that I'm older lol.

[@lb.a157]

17:16 hehe, as somebody who ended in similar situation back in the 90s, in a big city like Arnold's is because the bus just works until a certain time, so to me it wasn't strange that you arrive early by riding the bus to a place in the city far, far from home because near where I lived there where no other cinemas (in fact, for a big city like mine, there was only one back then) and once you got out of the movies, you realized it was so late for the bus as it was only avalaible until 7:00 PM and the movie ended at 8:00 PM, so to me, Arnold's situation wasn't so weird, for the contrary, it was quite relatable XD And since they were all kids, I wouldn't be surprised they simply didn't prevent about their way back home out of immaturity. Also, yeah, the subway was seen as dangerous and creepy, but as much as in Arnold's city, as it looks way dirtier and older than the ones where I grew up, the detail of having a vagabond living in there was another reason of why maybe the subway was considered unsafe by the kids. (no surprise we never see them using it again) And maybe Arnold just didn't considered, since he's a kid, how dangerous the subway was.

[@samantharobinson1630]

Absolutely love your hey Arnold videos please do another character analysis for your dark side of series

[@DuskTillShawn]

You got it, friend! If you could pick the next character, who would it be? 😁

[@samantharobinson1630]

@DuskTillShawn Arnold's grandparents

[@pulsarlaserquasar]

these videos are very insightful and soothing. I love your channel!! I especially love your concern for the Blind Man's puppies and making sure they get home safely!!

[@kimstryitchannel3903]

Your videos are my favorite! Every time I see you come out with one I stop what I’m doing and watch! Thanks for your awesome content! ❤

[@btshea9537]

13:44 was my favorite part of this episode the excitement in the blind man’s voice was just so sweet!

[@davisthegamelord]

When even Arnold, the positive look on the bright side kind of person, says the movie is bad then you know it was awful

[@oooh19]

Yay! New Dusktillshawn video!

[@nobodyfamousX]

Hey Arnold was such an anomaly. There aren't many kids shows that are grounded in reality like this. And most shows are set in suburbs or rural communities. This is the only show I can think of about inner City children.

[@LegendStormcrow]

I heard the blind man and immediately remembered him. As for Harold being big, he could likely hear the weight on the poles, and he sounded like a kid.

[@Thoralmir]

Grandma's name is actually Gertie. "Pookie" is just a pet name Grandpa Phil uses.

[@syabilaazri7834]

One of my fav episode of Hey Arnold. Probely it becuase how it one of senario that you never see in cartoon before. Arnold and his friends are having another kid adventure only to un-predictly stuck in the subway. It really rare for a show have a senario that take place in a subway since trains are like an underrated transportation for western people. Better then trap in elevator, i'm right?

[@user-kz4ro9uq4q]

i don't think they could connect to the train because the power went off and there was no phone signal so they had to try and locate the train first to come up with their solution on getting people out..

[@HonorableRosemary]

The doctor's voice actor is the inimitable Tony Jay. He also played The Asylum owner in Beauty and the Beast and Judge Claude Frollo in Hunchback.

[@DomTheCivilian]

Thank you for the content you make brother!

[@TheRedBaron1917]

Youre my favourite giraffe based hey arnold reviewer here on youtube thanks for all the hard work you put into making great videos 🥹

[@nimbus3218]

More hey Arnold is always appreciated!

[@theheadtapchannel4132]

This has always been one of my favorite episodes ..the creativy to make an interesting episode with limited settings was always cool to me

[@KaidenHix]

Is the announcer guy voice by the guy that voices Honer Simpson? You can hear Homer when he gets really freaked out. 9:40

[@DuskTillShawn]

Hahaha I believe so! I have to rewatch this episode now 😂😂😂

[@TymanTy-xl3wd]

Hey awesome video my friend. In response to the underground subway stopping abruptly. I had experience when trains stopped very abruptly when the emergency brakes activating. It usually depends on the speed on the train. It seems like the train had to do about over 35 mph. As a New Yorker we rely on the subway to get around. But overall I've been waiting for someone to make a video about this episode as I still watch to this day.

[@chrishanes-g7q]

fam keep up the good work

[@mimilopmemes7915]

i'd love to see more Dark Side of Hey Arnold!

[@DuskTillShawn]

You got it, my friend! Which character are you hoping to see next? :D

[@charliarcher2729]

​@@DuskTillShawnPookie!

[@EdwinShy3200]

I remember this episode vividly because something like this happened when I was 6 riding the BART trains (I live in Oakland) with my dad, it stopped and was stuck for about 20 minutes due the electric rails in one of the tunnels losing power which made me freak out if the train behind us would ram us, of course that didn't happen this eipisode perfect captured how something like this is stressful for both kid and adult On another note ,gotta say I'm surprised Gertie's "Rambo" outfit wasn't an alt in NASB2 would of fit better then the blue dress with the chef hat alt imho

[@Sn33kyy]

Harold asked "how did you know i was climbing?" Before that he says he's an upside-down fireman the only way to do that is to climb

[@tawnie9204]

I love these videos

[@Kidapollo92]

Big open spaces ….Big wide deep open spaces

[@kitsunekun2345]

I like that the dog named "Killer" brought everyone together by starting new life instead of ending
