- I'm a massive fan of 90s Cartoons, so today we are taking a look into the world of Hey Arnold! The show was created by Craig Bartlett and originally ran on Nickelodeon from 1996-2006. Being one of Nickelodeons most popular cartoons at the time, the show focused on Arnold, a young boy who always does the right thing and has a very strong moral compass. Naturally, the show had an ability to teach valuable and important life lessons in almost every episode. Today, I dive into the task of ranking my top five episodes of Hey Arnold that taught us life lessons that helped shape an entire generation. Be warned, this video is purely based on my opinion. Your opinion might be different from mine, and that's absolutely okay!
Let me know what your top 5 episodes are down in the comments below!

Pigeon Man was probably one of the saddest episodes I've seen on a cartoon. Hey Arnold was an outstanding cartoon. As much as the episodes were very creative in some aspects, they still felt very real.
pigeon man is one of my favorite episodes from the whole series
Did anyone else hear the theory that pigeon man killed himself in front of Arnold
Hey Arnold was in a class by itself. I miss the show
@@milesbrown7345 what? Dude 😄
@@d.t.5390 I saw a comment somewhere about a theory that the whole pigeon man scene with him flying away was him killing himself in front of Arnold I guess it was just 1 fucked up comment lol
The one that always stuck with me is when a new girl shows up at their school and they all think shes rich and snobby because of her clothing and they absolutely torment this girl. Despite all this she always has a smile on her face until the bullying gets to be so much she runs home in tears. Then they follow her home and find out that her family is living in poverty.
Pigeon Man will always be my most favorite episode. I didn't cry physically but it's like my heart did. I can relate to Pigeon Man's situation, especially when it comes to trusting people and being misunderstood.
Helga on the Coach was really something..
Yeah, I'm thinking about making another video about Hey Arnold and that one is DEFINITELY going to be on the list. Still deciding if I want it to be a part 2 to this video or go in a different direction along the lines of "top 5 saddest episodes of Hey Arnold!".
this could mean 2 things
Arnold was basically my moral compass when I was a kid.
Man. And he was a GOOD ONE
I agree. Even as the 18-year-old I currently am, the kid _still_ inspires me. He's quite the role model.
I mean you literally can learn something from every single episode of Hey Arnold.
Even stuff that's not a lesson
Absolutely
Some other animated series as well. It’s all about perspective.
@@cartoonishclaude I know but this one got something extra special about it.
Yup.
"Who did this?"
"People..."
that moment in the pigeon man episode stuck with me from childhood into adult hood. Definitely confirmed for the that animals are better then people.
Every animal would eat you if they could. Not true of all humans.
6:20
Grandpa as a rotting corpse and with the altered zombie voice scared the crap out of me when I was little. And then his jaw falls off!!! 😲😟
RIGHT? That scene straight up gave me nightmares as a kid lol.
I hear ya man. Really freaky.
No kidding man. Completely came out of nowhere and makes absolutely no sense.
I'm laughing my ass off at that part
Does not help that i saw that scene when i had a fever. Became part of my fever dream at the time
Man, you really left out Helga-centric episodes on this one. Olga Comes Home where Helga changes Olga's grades out of (justified) jealousy makes a better point than Arnold Betrays Iggy because it's way more emotional, realistic and relatable. Even Helga and the Nanny, which has a similar premise as the Olga episode was more realistic. I also thought the Little Miss Perfect episode where Lila gets torn apart by the girls bullying her for no reason was worth mentioning. The Aquarium episode where they save an abused turtle has a nice message about both animal rights and age. And Helga's Makeover also spoke to a whole generation of young girls being pressured to grow up and be someone they're not.
I remember Iggy Betrays Arnold being regarded as one of the worst if not the worst episode. I can see why. I hate episodes of cartoons about karma especially when it looks like it changes the character like it looked like it did Arnold
Yeah, the Helga-centric episodes are among the most emotionally profound of the series--so much so that they might deserve an episode of their own
@@rachelfay9582 yeah cause most of other characters only get maybe like one or two emotional focus episodes. Like one when Harold went on a cruise to lose weight but ending up gaining more. Or the Chocolate Boy backstory episode.
prolly didn’t mention them cause girls arnt as important
Ye
I loved that one scene:
“Hey Gerald, do you like my face?”
“Huh? Uh yeah sure”
“thank you (proceeds to take heralds last dollar)”
Such a classic 😂
My favorite Hey Arnold episodes are Deconstructing Arnold, Arnold's Christmas, Parents Day, Downtown As Fruits, Pigeon Man, What's Opera Arnold, Arnold Visits Arnie, Spelling Bee, Curly Snaps, Eugene Goes Bad, Gerald Moves Out, etc.
All really great episodes. Essentials.
I love this. This serriously needs more attention and so does your channel. Youre underrated.
I can't tell you how much this means to me! Thank you SO MUCH!
You could prolly smash
Hey Arnold was an absolute gem of a show!!!! A massive fan from the U.K.
I remember being introduced to Arnold from a sesame street short. Was this claymation short about using your imagination. Then seeing he had a show on Nickelodeon and was hooked love this show and the movies
I feel like one of the best hey Arnold episodes was Arnold’s valentine
That episode is so good! I'll make sure to include it in part 2 of this video. 🙂
I particularly love the ending of that episode. Tho I remember it was the episode where Helga was going to finally profess her love for Arnold. I was disappointed at first when it didn't deliver but with the later episodes and the two movies it seems to have made more sense in those
Man no one ever mentions the episode ERNIE IN LOVE. When he’s in love with that plus sized model who doesn’t wanna admit she likes him because he’s so much smaller than she is. That was a real ass episode. You don’t see that depicted really anywhere still today and this was on a kids show
It’s important not to let a little bit of power get to your head
Ad: IM IN LOVE WITH THE POWER
Arnold's valentine is my favorite episode. Helga looked so pretty.
Arnold's Valentine is an absolute classic episode! I love that one!
She was catfishing Arnold
Thank you for making this vid. I just rewatched the series for the first time as an adult and man I forgot how amazing this show truly is.
Thanks for watching this video! I appreciate it! I feel like Hey Arnold is a really underappreciated show.
@@DuskTillShawn You’re welcome! And I wholeheartedly agree with you on that.
fun fact stoop kid is voiced by the guy who played John Connor's punk friend in Terminator 2. he was the 1st one with long red hair to warn him that a cop was looking for him back at the arcade. hes a few years older here in this episode when portraying the role of stoop kid.
One episode I remember about a lesson was Steely Phil. It's about Grandpa Phil wanting a rematch against Robby Fischer in Chinese Checkers. Before the tournament, he and Arnold have a conversation. Phil didn't believe he could beat Robby until Arnold told him about getting confidence and it helped him. Even though Phil got a tie against Fischer, he kept going until the end.
Great episode. Reminds me of my first video game tournament. The owner told me, "I believe in you." That meant a lot to me. Best part? I won! Not a single defeat either. I gave my opponents good sportsmanship which made me feel good.
Top 5:
The List
Helga on the Coach
Arnold’s Halloween
Field Trip
The top moral of "Arnold Betrays Iggy" is don't write bad episodes of great shows
Right? Awful pick for this list.
@@julesrules7297 no.
It isn’t a bad episode.
@@alextownley9388 Craig Bartlett apologized for it
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 That's actually a myth
One of the only clues to Stoop Kid's past is in certain scenes, when you look to the right of his front door there's a sign that reads "NOTICE: These Premises are Quarantined"
So glad I found your channel!! I love and miss all of my fave childhood shows and talk about them all the time. Thankfully, someone else shares that same interest! Quality content 👌 👏 ✨️
Loved this show to this day! Life lessons for sure!
Its SOO GOOD. Definitely a cartoon I still enjoy as a fully grown adult lol.
@@DuskTillShawn same here haha
I also love the scenery and the music
@@gianinabadami5341 yes I agree
In fact, @@t99155, that's why I have my profile as picture of a page I did from the Nickelodeon SPLAT coloring book
Your channel is so underrated. I love these videos and you’re really good at explaining them. Keep it coming!
You Rock! Thank you so much for your support!
Hey Arnold is legendary
The music during the pigeon man scene always made me so emotional
The Pigeon man episode was so sad! 😭
Hits me right in the feels every time. 🖤
but it ends with a positive note, stick with that :)
Funny thing is, cartoons at the time taught more about life lessons than educational PSAs.
i sub just because of your intro and i used to watch all those old cartoons great videos thumbs up . your intro must of been on other video of yours , you thank every one for watching your videos and you sounded genuinely thankful :) peace
More videos. This channel is awesome. Well done.
This list must have been hell to put together, there are so many great episodes that I can think of with valuable life lessons. I'm not sure that there is an episode without a life lesson in the first place
Great take!
Ready for your take on Ed, Edd and Eddy....🙏
When I was just a child, I would watch this show, and I would feel some kind of loneliness. I don't know why. But I love this show.
Pigeon man is one of my favorite episode of Hey Arnold
I hate Arnold betray Iggy episode in so many levels.
As much as I appreciate the lesson it taught us, I totally agree. Watching that episode as a kid really made me angry lol.
To be fair, Arnold never told anyone. Sid and Stinky did, after they figured out why Arnold was laughing.
Me too. This was by far the worst thing Arnold has to endure
Hey great video as usual your the greatest CZcamsr
I'm subscriber 486. Thanks to this video, after watching a few. I'm hooked on your channel. Remember this when you get to 1,000,000 subs.
You Rock!! Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
I love hey Arnold
You did Hey Arnold! My fav show. You got my subscribe. Not many do. 😊
No idea what Grandpa's jaw falling off had to do with the moral of the story. But, it made me laugh.
This is only 3rd video. But I can't wait to see if you cover the Ghost Train. That scared me SO BAD.
Pigeon Man is my spirit animal. Fly into the sunset Vince.
That Arnold Betrays Iggy episode is really terrible. Honestly if anyone should have worn the bunny pajamas it should have been Sid and Stinky since they're the ones who really made Iggy's life terrible. Also, that dream with Zombie Grandpa Phil....nightmares for days.
"Remember to always wash your berries before you eat them.... and fly towards the sun"
😥
Arnold Betrays Iggy is frustrating, but the message alway resonated with me.
This show was a dream to me. having friends but also knowing what happens behind all doors. 😂 but such amazing lessons too be lessened.
thanks a lot. this is a very interesting video.
I didn’t know if many knew about that one episode where they were talking about veterans I feel like that was the episode that taught me what exactly Veterans Day was really about when I was younger
Stoop kid episode will forever be a classic ✨
In your backstory for Hey Arnold you left out his time as a claymation short on Sesame Street.
The person who voiced Stoop Kid also played in Salute Your Shorts as Spudnik. (I think that was his name on the show)
If I walked in on my bro rocking straight up bunny pj's I wouldn't be upset that's awesome
I really liked the football episode and the episode where Arnold meets that sour author and makes a book from there expirence umm there's just so many 90/early 00's cartoons that are just soooo good
I know i said in some other video of yours, but I'll say it here too.
Hey Arnold taught me humility.
“embarrassing pyjamas” dude kids are so weird? this pyjamas are so cool i want 3
I'm surprised "Arnold betrays Iggy" made this list lol. It was one of their most controversial episodes.
I love pigeon man 🥺 maybe it’s just because I love pigeons so much but that story seems heartwarming. I haven’t actually watched the episode (I probably saw it as a kid but don’t remember) and he seems to be loosely based off Nikola Tesla.
I am actually surprised to learn that the episode "24 Hours To Live" was adapted from the pilot episode as well as one of Arnold comics from "Simpsons Illustration", which is especially fascinating to me considering the fact that "24 Hours To Live" happens to be one of the first episodes of the show that I have seen.
Helga on the Couch and Arnold's Christmas are top 2 for me
I always liked that flood episode and the episode where they collect box tops.
bro sick teddy fresh hoodie
I loved Iggy as a character, but seeing the Arnold Betrays Iggy episode just got me ferrous
9:33 except Harold of course, he finds out the hard way lol
Excelente!!!
Thanks for watching, Marlon!
I wish I'd grown up watching Hey Arnold. I was born in 2007 but I didn't really watch the early Nicktoons shows, only Spongebob and random old black and white shows my parents were watching
I really did not like the character models as a kid but it was very relatable so it was an easy watch !
I'm surprised that you didn't mention Chicago as an inspiration for Arnold's city.
BRUUUUUH
Hearing "Stoop Kid's afraid to leave his stoop!" unlocked a WHOLE lotta repressed memories
Honestly, I don't like Arnold Betrays Iggy, but here's how I would improve it in the hypothetical scenario that I had a time machine.
I would have the episode instead of Iggy's bunny pajama secret somehow getting out randomly, I would want the episode about a rumor that someone starts (probably Helga) that Iggy wears bunny pajamas, which ruins Iggy's reputation as he gets bullied by the other students, and Arnold, being the nice guy that he is, would try to help Iggy by disproving the rumors.
But hey, the episode came out like 27 years ago, so there's nothing I can really do. Eh, I'll live with this episode, as I'm pretty sure it's not canon to the series (like The Simpsons with 'The Principal and the Pauper').
I am surprised "Helga on the Couch" wasn't on this list.
I thought the best episode of Hey Arnold! Was when Mr. Hyunh reunites with his daughter.
Pigeon Man hits me right in the feels because I AM Pigeon Man errr, Pigeon afab. I care for injured and orphaned pigeons and they are my family. I love them more than anything and have a general misanthropic view of the world, especially when people treat my children so poorly. Thankfully people are waking up to the truth about pigeons and just how badly we've treated them for no good reason.
Just a guess on your door-to-door sales.. Cutco, Kirby, or some sort of home improvement (windows, solar, gutters)?
10:07 tell this to the mod using "im uncomfortable" as a weapon to make people go away / look bad
You should do a part two to this one.
Jameo in Love
Olga Gets Engaged
Preteen Scream
Casa Paradiso
Big Gino
I especially love Olga Gets engaged because Helga knows Olga’s fiancé is a con artist and she was going to let Olga go through with marrying him so she would suffer, but then Helga realized she had to do the right thing.
The episode Baby Oskar taught me how not to be a role model.
My favorite episode is the one where Helga calls Arnold Football Head.
So all of them 🤣🤣
@@gianinabadami5341 lol no, it's the one episode where his Grandpa also calls him Short Man.
Lol again all of them, @@paradygmshift7826
I know its not the purpose of the video but what is the most underrated episodes from this show
It would’ve been interesting to see Pigeon Man meet the Pigeon Lady from Home Alone 2
Amazing epic great good show awesome
Fun fact about the Pigen Man episode. The original ending was Pigen Man jumping off the roof, commiting suicide.
No it’s not don’t be stupid
I wish everyone learned the lesson with MLMs. I've known a few who got royally screwed. I'm pretty sure some of the local fireworks stands are set up in a kind of MLM manner.
Hi Shawn
Love hey Arnold.💙💙💙 who knew a Karen was in it lol
I think there were Karens in the episode when Harold gets a job at Mr. Green's Butcher Shop. Or maybe there's another word for the kind of crowd featured there
Hopefully u do the monkeyman episode of Hey Arnold in future video
Poor pigeon man. But seriously, what the hell did he live on food wise?
Did you sell for cutco as well 😂
Your videos are more claiming than the series itself.
Could you please do the 5 or 10 most iconic episodes of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
I built my morals growing up from Arnold and Kevin Arnold from the wonder years.
Yeassss stoop kid!
Ngl if i hadn't watched that mlm arnold episode i would have fallen for the trap when a friend of mine came knocking on my door with a special offer.
Pigeon Man was a sobering moment the first time I saw it. But Stoop Kid was just all kinds of WTFery starting with the question of HOW did this kid raise himself without CPS getting involved? But the movie where they were fighting over who owned the neighborhood legitimately had me worried for this kid's well being if the place HAD been torn down.
About the watches, I don't think it's fair to put MLMs together with pyramide schemes since at the end of the day, in MLMs you can limit your buying to only when you have customers. Whereas in pyramide schemes you're expected to buy in advance.
Is that a green or ar clear griptape with green deck thats the Importent qestion
