Do the writers really expect us to believe that DW'S reaction to eating a poisoned chip would be silence? I think it be more like, "MOM! Arthur poisoned me with a green potato chip!" Also, Mrs. Read sucks in this episode, (well, more than usual.) Publicly shaming your own kid by broadcasting their embarrassment is plan wrong, even for DW, who absolutely deserves it.

[@melissacooper8724]

Ikr? If I were DW's age and I overhead what Arthur said about green potato chips being poisonous I would run crying and screaming to Mom! As for what Mrs. Read did to DW in the follow-up episode I've seen parents humiliate their children on Tiktok or KZbin or Facebook all the time!

[@rosestar1324]

People still do that to their kids. They post videos of their kids crying over serious shit or even just doing sexual dances cuz they think it's cute, but it's not cute. It's embarrassing to expose your child like that so other people can laugh or so creeps can enjoy the videos in gross ways. I'm not ever putting my kids on the internet, not until they are teens who can make better choices than a child.

[@Samsapopin]

Maybe she didn't want to tell her parents that she ate it right away because she figured by them or Arthur. She could've just asked her parents if green potato chips are poisonous before going to sleep, letting them take her fear away.

OK one good thing about this episode is it’s a Binky and DW interactive moment or for some kind of friendship, which turns out to be very wholesome. gives a great reminder to viewers how even if someone thought their life will come to an end, they must know that they’re never alone they have someone who is the same position as they are.

Part 2 to this episode is easily a FU Mrs. Read moment. DW is only 4 and didn't need the whole town laughing at her all because her mom thought it was "Cute". It was clearly mortifying to DW. Seriously Binky turning his same experience into a cute ballet number infront of the town was a good levity to this all. Why wasn't it Mrs. Read making an apology to her infront of the town? I liked the Binky ending but that would have been a lot nicer to give proper closure to what Mrs Read did. The talk she has with DW at the dock was too little too late and even as a kid I thought that.

Honestly there is a bit of debate over wether or not green potatoes (and by extension green potato chips) are ok to eat. It's mostly a "no" vs "yes" vs "yes, but only if..." kind of argument.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but if DW wasn't such a selfish little pain, her friendships with Arthur's friends would actually be really wholesome, like Buster being her personal detective in the snowball episode, the Brain teaching her science and her genuinely appreciating it more than the kids Brain's age ever appreciate his knowledge, even if it was for selfish reasons on her part, and Binky bonding with her in this episode, even if it was over shared ignorance. Also, I have a lot of respect for Brain in general for actually understanding that baby Kate is smart, because for some reason none of the other kids seem to think so

FOR REAL

[@infjgirl3850]

Your commentary about ballet having the same appeal as karate for all genders is so true. Back in 2017 I was training as a teacher. The class I was training with had cheerleading as part of their Gym/PE curriculum. The teacher told me to show the class some rugby Haka dances “for the boys just in case”. ~ but to my surprise, when I started the lesson, the boys in the class came up to me and asked if it was okay if they could do cheerleading instead. They put on a fantastic performance at the end of the teaching block.

[@ladymacbethofmtensk896]

Ballet has even less appeal, because you don't dance to some obscene rap number by just thrusting your backside about.

[@rockmacher]

Please do never never never. That episode is a gold mine for FU DW

[@meganpayette5996]

Does anyone else think that it's odd that DW was only 5 years old for a small handful of episodes, but then went back to being 4 later? As for what episode that I would like to see you cover the one in which DW dreads celebrating her 5th birthday. Only for Arthur to help her remember some of the good times she had when she was still 4.

Considering one of the recent episodes claimed that Spanky died “a few months ago” even though it happened way back in season 2, I’d say Arthur’s lore is messed up enough as is

My mom seemed to take lessons from her. Love my mom and she's a good person overall, but a terrible parent. Both Jane and my mom seem to lack properly developed empathy, meaning they simply can't understand how others would feel, only how they feel. Jane sends out the story and paper clippings because she thinks it's funny, not being able to put herself in her extremely young child's shoes for a second to realize her daughter is damn near traumatized by the whole thing even before that.

Despite being 4 years old DW is a huge hypocrite in this episode. Mainly as she hated being talked about and made fun of due to the green chip story. Yet she is so willing to spread news and reveal things about Arthur despite it humiliating him. Like when he lost to her at checkers, she bragged about it everywhere, including around his friends. Lets not forget about the times she revealed that he still sleeps with a teddy bear. Oh and accusing him of being a thief by saying to everyone he stole her snowball and Crazy bus CD. She had no problem spreading news and making accusations about him yet when one thing happens to her she goes into a meltdown.

Great review episode, Matt. I was surprised when Jane exposed her daughter on the newspaper about the whole green potato chip drama. Even I would’ve find it funny myself, DW didn’t need to have her green potato chip story spread around to everybody in town. Also, what the hell kind of mother or father does that to their own child without any of their consent first?! It just sounds like Mrs. Read was just being thoughtlessly funny to everyone in Elwood City, without thinking about how DW would feel of being humiliated in public, and the consequences of Arthur getting blamed by his bratty little sister without getting any good evidence whatsoever! Doesn’t Jane and David Read have any damn idea or any common sense on how to raise their kids, or even have some better understanding towards them?! That kind of thoughtless parenting is just absurd to me! I wonder if DW would ever get back at her mother one day! 😡 Could you review these Arthur episodes for FU DW some time this year? 1.

Both DW and Binky thought they had only a few days left to live, and never questioned why they were still alive after all that time passed. It's just really funny to my lol

Happy New Year Matt!! Hope you have a great year!! I'm glad you talked about the green chip episodes. When I saw this when I was younger, I didn't feel bad for DW. As an adult, I still feel the same way. After getting away with so much, I felt this was karma for DW. Don't get me wrong, it's not right for anyone to feel embarassed, but at the same time, DW never got consequences for her past behavior so it's hard to feel bad for her. I fully agree about FU Mrs. Read. What parent would purposely tell everyone about something that embarassed their kid without thinking about their feelings. Then again, DW does the same thing to Arthur. She annoys and makes him look bad without thinking about his feelings, so I guess like mother like daughter. I think what would've made the ending better would be if DW had an enlightening moment and realized that been humiliated doesn't feel good and she realizes she does this to Arthur and decides to change her ways. Wishful thinking. Still great episode Matt. Looking forward to next. FU DW. Fu Mrs. Read 👍👍👍

The fun thing about the "green potato chips are poisonous thing" is that it has a slight basis in reality. The green parts of potatoes CAN be poisonous. They contain solanine. It takes a fair amount of green potato to make you sick, though, let alone kill you, and the amount of solanine in green chips is negligible.

Much like "D.W.'s Baby" (Season 1 Episode 11B), it often seems like both of these stories could have been one long episode, even though two-part episodes (apart from specials) didn't first appear until midway through the show's seventh season in October 2002. The in-universe show "You do the Most Embarrassing Things" is a spoof of "Kids Say the Darnedest Things", though I didn't know that when I originally saw this episode as a kid. And not to mention that clips from both of these segments have been frequently used in "Arthur Out of Context" compilations, including the "Giant lips" scene at 6:59 and the scene of eating the chip "costume" at 8:21.

I GENUINELY forgot this episode existed. I've only seen it 3 times and each time I was drugged up on various things in the hospital.

4:23 - 4:32 😆 especially when you said “Yes she did!” and it rewinds back to that moment.

Matt Neff and PBG are the best Arthur KZbinrs, change my mind.

[@manic8213]

It's canon that she grows up to become a police officer, it's only my own personal intuition that she's a body cam off police officer

I wonder if a news craze like this happened in Brazil with that kid that broke his Dreamcast in the funniest way possible.

Unlike Angelica from Rugrats, DW will NEVER be Redeemed

[@SEReina-gk1kx]

I remember this one from when I was a kid. Honestly though DW had this coming

[@Cure_Hana]

If you ever feel like you need a pallet cleanser, maybe try watching some episodes of Bluey to experience that show’s anti-DW: Muffin Heeler.

If Mr. Ratburn wasn’t constantly handing out essays and having secret get aways at the the bake and sip with Mr Read she would have known more about Saturn also Arthur perfectionism is the reason I put my candy and chips in order at my big age 😂

5:34 That is one LARGE book

There is nothing wrong with a boy taking ballet. Lots of pro wrestlers took ballet. It's great for strengthening their legs and increasing flexability.

[@nightwolfmoon6619]

The read parents don’t know what the hell they are doing especially we never see DW get punished for any stunt she ever pulls on everyone even Arthur.

[@bladeobrian2144]

I remember in 2011, my old man tried to get me to take a ballet class. Of course being a teen in 2011, I thought it was a “sissy” or “gay” thing. I didn’t know that male ballet dancers are actually badass. Wish I’d taken it, it would’ve been fun!

[@melissacooper8724]

That was the same reason that Binky was afraid to take ballet until the green potato chip scenario. He didn't want his peers to think he was a sissy. When he thought he was dying he just didn't care anymore what his friends thought. I was amazed at how supportive his friends were when they saw him perform at his ballet recital!

That's not even a Poll, that's an onen-ended Questionaire, you Plebe. One of Matt Neff's best Responses for this Year.

[@99thJediWarrior]

I get the feeling Arthur might catch an FU in your next FU DW because the thing is unlike D.W., Nadine actually sticks up for Arthur and genuinely likes him.

[@michaellovecat]

Binky really believed the word of 1. A preschooler and 2. Someone who can't fact check, even though I love that he likes dances, the boy is wrong for not asking Arthur about it first

[@cassandraflannigan7489]

I've been waiting so long for this video lol

[@EeveelutionStorm]

If it was today, Mrs. Read would've posted it to her tiktok during an ice restocking...

[@Planzonal]

I feel like this time, it would be FU JANE

[@maarlo12345]

DW got her Death Wish 💀💀💀

[@melissacooper8724]

I love this episode! What I liked about it is that you should live life to the fullest because you never know what tomorrow may bring. Also if you want to watch Christmas movies or play Christmas music even though it's not Christmas do it! Don't worry about what others will say! I've listened to my favorite Christmas song "Merry Christmas Everybody" by Slade all year round and I like it!

[@BlackOrderAlchemist]

Where I live there only seems to be kids' Karate lessons. My coworker's son and daughter are both in the class they run nearby. I think it'd be neat if there was a ballet class on offer here, but the closest thing we have locally is Irish stepdancing. Having men in ballet is more encouraged and useful (because of the lifts during routines) than in stepdancing (which is pretty much all legwork and is rather focused on pretty dresses anyway). So I'm not sure how your theory about modern after school activities shakes out. I just hope no one gets bullied tbh :'y
