Miriam constantly making smoothies constantly went over my head as a kid. I didn't realise that it was a metaphor for drinking until much later on!

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 ❤

Hey Arnold was probably the very first Nick cartoon, that actually taught us a whole lot. Even real problems that other cartoons back then that would not tackle

Arnold didn't feel his parents abandoned him, he was worried that they died

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

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.

_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

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.

Arnolds Christmas was a proper tear jerker but done so well

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

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

Literally, my favorite TV show of all time!

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.

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

I’ll never look at that kitty book the same way again 😂😂

I was 21 when the show first aired. I also watched it in reruns at 1am. This show was really cool and I liked seeing characters that came from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and (in the case of Helga dysfunctional families.) I thought it made the characters much relatable. LOL.😅😅😅😅

My favorite cartoon from the childhood. Even I'm 28 y. o.

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

Man, teared up both when Arnold dreamt about how important his grandparents were on "Parents Day" and then again when he finally found his parents. Greatest cartoon of all time.

Pigeon Man remains a tear jerker🥺

Watching this as a 90s kid and now a therapists intern is so cool

I watch at 10 years old I'm 30 now Hey Arnold! originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States from October 7, 1996, until June 8, 2004, with reruns until September 1, 2006. In 2002, Nicktoons Network began broadcasting the show, and aired reruns of Hey Arnold!

Stoop Kid is embedded in my head.

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.

I loved this show.

I love Hey Arnold! There was also a part where Harold said Circumcision in the Suspension Episode.

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.

THE THUMBNAIL GOT ME!

Amazing video ms mojo,fantastic job. I love hey! Arnold.

Even though Helga calls Arnold a Football Head, She has a Secret Love for Him

It’s really happening. People are trying to bring the Patakis to the forefront of television and wants all of you to help out.

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.

I love this Show Hey Arnold 🙂

I like the "Back to School" episode but Phil was born in 1917 so he shoukd have dropped out of school in the 6th or 7th grade instead of the 4th grade.

stoop kid doesn't have agoraphobia, he stays outside of his home.

There’s nothing adult about pigeon man. The message there is pretty easy to catch no matter what age you are.

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

It’s wild that grandpa Phil went on a date with 2 preteens

#3 is my favorite eip shows love how they did it

One of my fave cartoons❤

Didn't realize how old Jerald's dad was up there in age. He had him way later in life

I thought it was cool that the voice of stoop kid was voiced by budnick from salute your shorts

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.

It's very hard to trust people and others. Very out of place myself and have been for several years.

Hey Arnold is wonderful and worth watching. It HASN';T "aged"

Can you do a Top 10 Opening DreamWorks songs please.

I knew all of them except the Halloween one I didn't even remember watch that one

"Never eat raspberries."

What episode was Harold's man from nantucket from?

Eating too much of anything can be harmful, but I guess a radish addiction is healthier than a chocolate one.

Running out of ideas? And yes I watched it

I think older kids would have understood the stalking.

Fun fact:arnold is voiced by a woman in the Japanese dub.

What am I missing about to reach , pull

Probably wasn't the point, but this proves that Hey Arnold and other médias are valid source material to ask students to write essais about.

I watched Hey Arnold

On the part where Grandpa takes underage girls to sneak into a PG-13 movie, it would’ve been funny if Chris Hansen comes along and says have a seat

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

Surprised nothing for Harold being a bully but also Jewish learning Hebrew wasnt talked about.

11:16 i don't get it 11:56 how this poem ends?

3:25 since she acted so rough and masculine, i thought she meant him bringing out her femininity and girl part ofnher brain lol 😅

Shocking one character here has an addiction Chocolate Boy lucky t hasn't killed him

because some adults make everything sexual.

Grandpa would have been way too old for Woodstock though, even then lol

Helga still has no excuse to attack people. victims don't lash out because they're victims.

Yeah, this shoe got away with a lot for a kids show.

Hey I know that chocolate boy like chocolate

Hey Arnold! - Miss Felt-er Rocko's Modern Life - Dr. Bendova

It’s a show for entertainment

I just watched the episode of Arnold and Gerald making a documentary and they accidentally film a suspicious guy who puts a letter in a tree so they end up going on a crime investigation. And then Gerald asks the female employee if she knows anything about the case and he talks seductively. She then pauses a second and says to the guy 'I gotta go to the bathroom'. Now, maybe it's far fetched and I do hope so because it's disgusting, but did that grown lady actually get.... horny by a boy?

I must advise adults responsible for kids to keep this in mind: Do NOT let kids watch any series of what only adults notice in any shows or movies! That’s meddling!

9:18 oh good it was cleared because it was good propaganda

As an adult that's been with the show from the very beginning. All this episode made me want to do is cry.

Grandpa hanging out with Connie and Maria while both girls being underage... CREEPY. Same with another Nicktoon - Rocko's Modern Life. There's a joke that Rocko likes rainbows and everyone including his best friend Heffer was offended by that. Both scenes aged horribly.

11:20 ehhh, I feel like that's a bit of a reach.

What about the fact that Helga’s mom was always drunk?? Lol

Some might say that Helga was sexually harassing our little Football Headed Friend!
