0:04 Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd; Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don't win, it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, At the old ball game.

As I watch again Hey Arnold in my early 20s I see that every single episode talks about a serious issue but disguises it as a kids cartoon

Hey! I never realized it before now but, Herbert the Pervert, from Family Guy, looks an awful lot like Arnold’s grandfather... hmmmm EDIT: I just need to add this, what with this video being my ‘formal introduction’ to Hey Arnold... Holy crap! This show was dark, especially for a ‘kid’s show’ on a major children’s television network! That’s not a bad thing. I think it’s great to be fairly open & honest with even young children - to the best of one’s ability & with parental guidance, of course.

i loved that episode the ghost bride

At least Helga told the therapist about her parents and older sister because, a therapist can help with the problem.

Y'all remember that episode where Curly snapped and held Arnold hostage in Principal Wartz's office because he didn't get picked to play Kickball?

Well, there was that episode where Sid thought Stinky was a vampire, and he tried to kill him

Wait, Helga was KIND to Arnold? As I recalled from what little of the show I saw, she was a big bully most of the time.

Ah, Hey Arnold. This and Doug and Denver were the shows that made me change channels instantly. I hated slice of life shows. I wanted toons to be fantastic and weird.

I had assumed helga's mom was high all the time but it makes sense her being drunk or alcoholic as well

I really feel bad for Helga no child should be left in the shadows because of an older sibling like Helga's parents did to her if anything if this was real life Child Protective Services would have taken her away REALLY fast

What about chocolate boy

MonkeyCat MONKEYCAT!!!!

19:05 -hell.....ga

12:29 quite literally

Damn I was like 5 years old when Arnold aired in my country and I still recognise that monkey story to this day...

Besides the original episodes of Spongebob Squarepants Hey Arnold was my favorite cartoon.

hey would've know I be watching it now in 2020 of 26th Oct :)

I agree with all of them. Your list is spot on. I'm not much for cartoons at my age but Hey Arnold was one I truly enjoyed when I could catch it on TV.

One like=one prayer for Steve

Forgot the alien Halloween episode inspired after a real event where a radio station Halloween prank scare about invading aliens legitimately caused people to commit suicide for being so convincing.

With Helga and her therapist the creators were planning to make a spin-off around this dynamic with Helga as the main protagonist. Once the first Hey Arnold Movie went bust (largely because of Nickelodeon's own interference) they cut back support on the franchise to the point where the spin-off didn't happen.

"And that is the last we see of curly in the show, Ever!"

Can you do the Wildthornberrys? They too surprisingly had a lot of paranormal and supernatural episodes that spooked many of us as kids.

Could you please review Invader Zim the series and compare it to the movie they had come out?

Four-eyed Jack doesn't get an honorable mention?? I STILL can't watch the end of that and sleep well that night. The few seconds of him sticks in my brain

Theory for the train. A collection of the most popular theories tied together in one tragic tale. The engineer was suffering financially but was to be laid off. He kept hearing a voice that told him to crash the train. He heard it for days, weeks, maybe months before he knew he was going to be laid off. He knew if he crashed it, then maybe he could sell it for parts since it's not a Great Northern locomotive. But that was a terrible idea. Surely he would get into some kind of trouble and it all sounded too risky. But that voice was so convincing, and drilled it inside his head that it doesn't matter. It's better this way. So, the engineer drove the train off the tracks in a fit of madness. The devil welcomed him home. No one saw curly for the longest time after the bride episode

I love it when people in horror movies or series hear an urban legend involving where a ghost or a monster shows up at a certain time, looking for victims. And everyone's first idea is "Hey let's see if we can see it tonight."

Just in time for Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

WHAT DID I TELL YOU, SHORT MAN?

Stoop Kid was a story where no one won...

😳😐 I had zero idea Helga’s mom was an alcoholic! I don’t even remember the smoothie thing 🥺 toddler helga and Arnold r the cutest things EVER❣️

These were all my favorite episodes of Hey Arnold!. The music, story and characters all add up to be perfect.

Helga monki

The legend has been passed down from kid generation to kid generation and Gerald is the keeper of the tale

Me and my best friend did a 3 AM challenge thing when you lay down and then a person will touch your head or whatever, and then tell a story about a mean cat, and when the person sits up, they will have long scratches across their back. The thing is, is that it has to be a long and scary story made up from the top of your head. So I did it. *ANYWAY* , turns out I have some mad amazing story telling skills (that I will animate this Halloween as a practice for animation, flipnotes, or just story telling). In my story, the cat was on its last life bc in his other past lives, he would become mutated and twisted at night, murdering his owners before being killed mysteriously shortly afterwards. Because of his first owner using him as a Satanic sacrifice to put a curse on his ex wife on the night of the full moon (the full moon is VERY important in rituals, spells, or curses). The sacrifice backfired (just like all death or cursed spells or rituals) as the cat came back from the dead and murdered the owner. The cat then mysteriously died just as the curse would always work, and then risen up from his "deathbed" every month. In the morning, he looked like just a typical yet adorable and loving black cat. And obviously, a person, family, or couple would take him in. But when the full moon comes just like every month, that very night, the cat will brutally kill the owner(s) and then died again shortly afterwards once again. But in the story, the cat was on his last life, so he looked like a deceased corpse, wandering around the dark allies of the city. In this cat's final moments, he got a chance to kill 9 people in their apartments by the ally he was hiding in. After killing the nine people on the night of the full moon, a lot citizens saw the cat crawl down the wall of the apartments, looking at everyone with glowing red eyes with no pupil, cocking his head side to side as the cat crawled down into the darkness with twisting and turning movements unlike anything to ever live on Earth. As it disappeared, it was never spotted again. So now, every full moon, the raspy, zombie-like yowl of the cat can be heard in the blackness off the alley, for everyone he killed, he stole enough souls to have make his official demon spirit lurk in the alley, as well as tormenting the apartment rooms owners with his horrid howls. The story I told was MUCH, MUCH longer than that. I just had to type in as much as I can so u guys can get the "picture". I am really looking forward into telling y'all the full story lol

M O N K E C Ä T

Since I'm Polish, whenever I hear something about a Train, I'm ready to unsling my Karabinek wz.29.

13:40 *CLICK*

Ms paint

regarding 19:05, if you look closely, when you look at the bottom of the gravestone you can see a capital H and E while the rest is hidden by the grass. the word was "hell". a lot of people are saying it wasn't, but it had to be since "hell" rhymes with snell anyway. not super important, just thought i'd point it out.

I've been binge watching Hey Arnold lol

i was never able to watch the headless cabbie when i was a little kid

the first one and last one both was a darkest Episode of Hey Arnold ever it is so creepy and scary and darkest ever

Monkey-cat! The most terrifying of them all!

When you grow up with something like Hey Arnold, it's pretty hard to think of it as dark. The show was more exciting, and funny! There may have been some hints of Miriam being an alcoholic, but being young I thought of her as more of the dunce. Or someone who is really tired. Yes I was a sheltered kid, but seeing it like this was a lot more fun and funny. 😁

I agree with Ghost Bride getting number 1, definitely scariest and darkest!

I really liked the episode where Arnold’s friend becomes a germaphobe, living his life in fear of germs.

I have always been really anti social and when i was 13 it was normal to be stolen away by cartoons but hey Arnold caught my eye the most and it actually encouraged me to become an artist. I used to draw fanart, all the way up to the hey Arnold jungle movie and being apart of the fan page. So basically was a magafan for about 7 years. The characters are so down to earth and Helga has always been my favorite and most relatable character, especially her family dynamic. I love this show so muxh it hurts. Im not as obsessed anymore but it's jidt6so nostalgic

My favorite footballhead is stewie from family guy

The urban legend/supernatural episodes were always my favorites and definitely scared the crap out of me as a kid. Was super disappointed with their Halloween episode because it wasn’t scary at all. I get that they were going for an Orson Wells “War of the Worlds” twist, but as a kid, I would’ve never gotten that the reference.

Corona 1 year ago?? ;-;

Pidgeonman is Nicholas Cage I swear lol.

i miss having friends.

So glad Haunted Train is on here. The ending still creeps the shit out of me.

The Pigeon Man actually almost got much darker, as apparently the original ending planned for the episode was to have the Pigeon Man commit suicide by jumping off the roof of the building, right in front of Arnold.

All aboard the ghost train now leaving platform to your grave HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The episode "ghost bride" will forever haunt me. Along with courage the cowardly dog king ramses

The one that always freaked me out was "Wheezin Ed" from season 1

Tbh, I remember really relating to Helga in that scene where she walks to preschool as a child. I was about her age in the clip when I first saw that episode.

The dog is Checkers Nixon’s dog

for other dark episodes -Sid and germs: its mainly lighthearted, but sid's nightmare always freaked me out as a kid -Sid the Vampire Slayer: another one where the movie they watch in class and Sid's nightmare are pretty freaky (also its hinted at the end Stinky is indeed a vampire)

Steve: the cab driver Me: his name is ERNIE!

What I found creepy and disturbing about the Arnie Episode was how Lulu was being flirtatious with Arnold.

Maankey caht

I have a emotionless face while watching “SCARY THINGS” the only times you can see any type of reaction from watching a “SCARY THINGS” from me is when there is a jump scare and the only reaction that you get from me is me rapidly flinching and straight after find out that I am wearing if you hurt me you are legally not allowed to live shirt so I can reassure myself that I won’t die

This was my favourite show next to spongebob!

For me there’s that one episode where Arnold and Gerald are chased by that crazy guy in the sewers.

Hey Steve I know you are not gonna read this because this video is like 1 year ago 😂 But I'm hoping you can discuss about the misadventure of flapjack cartoon series, I reeally love it when I was a child and I know the theme trough out the series is quite dark, but I still can handle to watch it as a child (most episodes) although there are a couple episodes that I find quite disturbing and scary, maybe you can give this series a chance for this topic? And I also find it quite odd that my friends didn't remember watching this as a kid (tho growing up I don't have many friends to begin with) :( maybe there is something wrong with it? Idk

Ghost Bride was always my favorite

When he said he had the flu, my heart dropped. Then i realized this was a year ago and i sighed in relief

As a teenager I used to go to a place where there were train rails on a lower level from the ground we could step on. Nowadays those rails are being used on a daily basis because the whole area is being reformed, but back then it was abandoned, and some of those rails led to nowhere. I will never forget the day we heard a distant train whistle in that place.

Alot of the episodes are basically the same

👎🏼👎🏼😠👎🏿👎🏻👎👎😠😠👎🏿👎👎🏾😡😡👎🏾👎🏾👎👎👎🏻👎🏿👎🏿👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏻👎👎🏾😡😡😡👎🏾

Didn't think this was meant to be an asmr video. It's a bit off putting.

Easy squeezey lemon peezey

THE ENGINE 25 STORY HAUNTED ME WHEN I WAS A KID COZ DUDE THAT ENDING DAMN

wait Football ball is round

The thumbnail looks like a video that I would find 6 years ago

this is why young people are so sensitive these days, all the cartoons they grew up on were actually designed for children.

I never appreciated how deep and complex this show was as a kid. I'm glad I rediscovered it as an adult.

The sick him looked high

Man no cap if fuck the shit out helga

While there may not be a complete lack of shows with the ability to touch on deep and mature themes these days, it's a shame that so few modern cartoons really try to be deep, either laying the themes on a bit too thick, or being a bit too narrow in scope to reach a wide enough audience. It was pretty cool how a show like Hey Arnold had a somewhat timeless feel to it with the way it captured the world of being a young kid in a suburban setting, even being able to be relatable to kids who might have grown up in more isolated areas.

In many ways, I feel that the section regarding Helga is something that I can relate to. And I would like to say that you did a excellent job discussing it, Steve. Bravo.

Hey he smile at the end

The jaw dropping scene was way more terrifing than the actual episodes....

What most of these horror episodes have in common: 1:character tells a scary story. 2:for some reason they decide to visit the scary destination mentioned in said strory. 3:surprise surprise,characters happen to be at said place during the mentioned date it happened. 4:they find no evidence of the story being real and decide to leave 5:scary story actually ends up happening after their gone.

I remeber when i was young like 5 years old my grandad told me the story of sweenytod and i didnt belive him till i found out it was true but when i was 5 i belived in it and i was scared of the barbers

This show has some seriously good horror movie concepts. Like, they sound straight out of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Holga on the couch is more deep than dark

Hey Arnold entering 25 trainers actually in SCP I forgot the name on what it is but it the same thing

OMG

I hope you get better soon.

What about the episode where they explain what happened to Arnold's parents? I remember they were traveling doctors who never returned from an emergency mission.

Actually I loved the Arnold movie more than the actual TV show cuz it was so sad for me I really cried when I watched the episode Helga on the couch... It's just sad...

One time I thought I had a crush on Arnold 😐

How did the ghost bride backstory make it on TV?! Just imagine this were a live-action show. That would be horrifying!
