Hey Arnold! will go down in history as one of the most impactful, endearing and thoughtful cartoons ever made. I have been waiting years for creator Craig Bartlett to bring his singular visionary talents back to television. I love seeing videos like this, putting Arnold back into the spotlight he deserves ❤

Plus her reaction when she realises that Bob and Helga are going to be in the house all day for a week, is tragic. She literally moves out for a week rather then be around them 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@priscillajimenez27]

[@okamireader5]

_Hey Arnold!_ was a cartoon ahead of its time and yet so subtly grounded in reality by its depiction of various concepts that most young people won't understand until they're old enough to in spite of some of the creative and outlandish antics, adventures, and actions done by the various characters. Even when I was a kid, I knew there was more to _Hey Arnold!_ than I was seeing and hearing, even tho I didn't get a lot of it back then. Now that I'm older, I see _Hey Arnold!_ with greater depth and understanding, and I praise the creators' work in making this one of Nickelodeon's most iconic and memorable cartoons

I always felt bad for Helga cause her parents abandoned her and paid all the attention to Olga

They never really abandoned her just neglected her, but honestly that’s split hairs with her treatment by her parents.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@That-Ninja They didn't die. They almost did, due to the Sleeping Sickness. But when Helga replaced La Curazon with her heart locket, both the Green-Eyes AND Arnold's biological parents Miles & Stella were saved, prompting the first, true consensual canon kiss between Arnold & Helga, thus making SHORTAKI definitive canon.

Helga's parents irritated me so much. They neglected her in favor of Olga all the time and even if they come to care about her in some episodes, it didn't last long.

[@dougxvale]

Olga suffers from perfectionism. I am always a B-rated student.

[@phantomrequim]

@@dougxvale Honestly, I felt bad for both of them. Olga forced to always be the perfect child and Helga being the forgotten child.

[@AliciaNyblade]

What I love so much about "Hey Arnold!" is that it introduced kids to so many different cultural and religious backgrounds without winking to the audience about it. "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", for instance, was what first taught me about that ceremony and I found it fascinating because I didn't know any Jewish people as a child. The Christmas special taught me about the Vietnam War. The episode where Ernie wanted to date that "large and lovely" fashion model was a great story about body diversity. So many examples. The characters' diversity felt organic because it was simply a part of them we learned about as we got to know them, as you would when meeting someone in real life. Nowadays, it often seems vice-versa: Characters, especially ones in kids' TV shows, are written around diverse traits and therefore come across as pandering rather than genuine representation.

[@caseymurray1007]

Growing up in a very white area in the uk, this gave me a rare glimpse into some culture. Definitely the thing I love most about Hey Arnold!

[@Omar-wq9dz]

I wouldn’t say it’s an adults only thing, but I was impressed the show got away with saying the word “crap” in a few episodes, considering it was meant to be aimed at kids

[@oooh19]

Crap isn’t even that bad of a word

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@oooh19 To conventional parents, who don't like you saying "Freakin'" to replace the F-bomb, "Crap" is a naughty/bad word.

To this show's credit, that sausage sign wasn't a dirty joke. It was from an episode about a food festival. It was literally an advertisement for sausage lmao

It could still be intended as a dirty joke, trust me a lot of animators back then snuck that into cartoons and even Disney movies.

Arnolds Christmas was a proper tear jerker but done so well

[@Mustlovemusic21]

Literally, my favorite TV show of all time!

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Of course even animated shows like Hey Arnold would have their share of things that only adults would notice or pay attention too, I mean after all there's not a cartoon in history that doesn't have elements like that.

[@varietygameplayandmore8189]

If only more young people at various ages would understand this regarding cartoons and such. I remember being told things like "that's for little three year olds" and stuff like that for saying I like and watch this stuff.

[@KT926]

I used to watch this show as a kid and I only really remember the episodes when Chocolate boy tries to go cold turkey & Helga making a statue of Arnold using his discarded chewing gum and his own hat

[@marianamendes5192]

I have been rewatching Hey Arnold as an adult, and I can see how amazing this show was. It tackled severe issues besides being amusing maybe too much information for kids. However, it was the reality of life and still is very relevant today, being quite universal. I love the Viatnan Christmas episode, and the Pigeon Man and Stoop Kid are very relevant to the world events of recent years. The cast was also excellent, with Dan Castellaneta(the same voice as Hommer Simpson) as Grandpa Phil, and the Jolly Olly guy is genius, as everything he does is gold.

[@luisbarboza2042]

the show didn't need to go THIS hard, but it did, and we grew up to be sort of good people thanks to Arnold

Vincent the Pigeon Man is so relatable among other characters. I don't even trust myself sometimes and so true with what he said that many were meant to be with other people while others are different, me included. I'm very different and meant to be behind the scenes.

[@sandiego2380]

oh please, he was an idiot. Just because you haven't met the right people (yet), doens't mean you aren't meant to be with people. It's human to want to be with others. Stop self pitying yourself like that fool did. He tried so hard to convince himself that he is different so the pain of getting hurt doesn't hurt as much. But in reality he too wishes he were with people. I hat how he gave the message that there aren't good hearted adults out there. The episode is honestly a horrible thing to show kids who would go and start self pitying themselves like he did. The worst message he could give! You are not different. You are just confused.

[@craftreesie]

Still can't see how they got away with Helga saying Arnold makes her... kitty quiver.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Also she called him her "Football-Headed LOVE GOD" once too (again, reaffirming where her mind & heart are at when it comes to her true feelings for the altruistic boy with the oblong-shaped head). Add on the fact that she's only 9 in the series proper, yet even in the "Helga On the Couch" pre-K flashback showing the really young versions of the kids (including Harold, strangely enough, since he's supposed to be 13 & still in the 4th grade, hence why he has a Jewish Bar Mitzvah in the first place), when little 3-year-old Helga (as adorably voiced in this particular flashback by Katie Bartlett, the daughter of series' creator Craig Bartlett [the voice of wheezing creeper Brainy, Hillwood disk jockey Nocturnal Ned & Arnold's biological dad Miles Shortman] & his Lisa Simpson inspiration wife Lisa Groening-Bartlett, rather than Helga's regular voice actress, Franchesca "Franny" Marie Smith) ducks behind the trashcan, she takes out a handmade heart-shaped doily with little Arnold's picture sewn into it (this would be replaced by her more recognizable heart-shaped locket as she aged, of course) & says, "I love you Arnold & I wanna marry you", before little Brainy pops out of the trashcan to start heavily breathing away behind little Helga's neck, subsequently prompting her to subconsciously slam the trashcan lid on the tiny wheezer's head to knock him back into the trashcan again. However, after child Harold Berman led the class (excluding Arnold, Gerald & Phoebe, obviously) in mocking Helga's fondness for Arnold, she swiftly resorted to threats of physical violence (Toddler Helga: "And if anyone's got a problem with that, they'll have to answer to Old Betsy & the Five Avengers!" Child Harold: "Old who & the Five what?" Toddler Helga: "My fists, stupid! That's their names." Child Harold: "Wait, what? Your fists have names? Ow! You're confusing me!" Toddler Helga: "Now go back to your fingerprinting before I make you wear it!" Child Harold: "Okay. Madame Fortress Mommy."), naturally turning into the schoolyard tsundere bully we've all come to know.

Is Arnold the Amazing Spider-Man? Parents left for noble reasons, left to be raised by another family member, finds a secret journal.

[@daydreamcomedianne]

Hey Arnold! aired when I was a kid, so I watched Arnold's Christmas, Veterans Day, Helga on the Couch, and Parents Day when they first premiered. I knew about WWII from my American Girl Books, but only from the homefront side, and had no idea about Vietnam, so Hey Arnold was my first exposure to it. Helga on the Couch and Parents Day still make me teary-eyed. Even when you're a kid you know what is happening to Helga is not normal, and not right. And how loving Phil and Pookie are to Arnold. One thing you don't notice until you're an adult, is that Mr Simmons is gay, and in the Thanksgiving episode, he has invited his boyfriend to his Thanksgiving dinner from hell. The boyfriend is a bit on-edge but that's understandable when Mr Simmons's mother is in denial about her son's sexuality or blatantly homophobic when she keeps on trying to set her son up with his other he invited friend who's a woman. It's kind of heartwarming that he took part in this dinner even though he hates it, because it makes his boyfriend happy. It's confirmed in Jungle Movie that they actually are a couple, because they hug and say goodbye to each other before Simmons leaves for South America with the rest of Arnold's class.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Yeah. Like Peter told his boyfriend's disapproving mother in that particular episode, "There's a lot of things you don't know about." Basically implying the woman denies, ignores, or is blissfully ignorant of her own son's sexual orientation.

[@priscillajimenez27]

As a kid even i found stoop kid's situation strange. Like how did no one get him when he was abandoned and put him in foster care? Or what relationship does he have with the tenants? One lets him use a hose from their sink. How does he use the bathroom? Where does he get all that stuff and learn to read? That wad a weird one.
