From childhood trauma to poverty to addiction, 'Hey Arnold!' tackled some pretty dark topics.
It has been over two decades since the first episode of Hey Arnold! aired on Nickelodeon, but the beloved 90s cartoon still holds up like it premiered yesterday. Created by Craig Bartlett, Hey Arnold! is one of those rare little shows that is still so good on its own and not just as a pure nostalgia trip. And, like almost all of our favorite shows we watched religiously as kids, Hey Arnold! hits way different as an adult.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "Ms. Perfect" Before Lila Sawyer became Arnold's dream girl, she was a transfer student at P.S. 118. Unfortunately, the P.S.118 girls , make it their mission to humiliate the ever so lovely Lila over their own jealousy and insecurity. After a few failed attempts, they succeed and play a cruel prank on Lila that ends with her covered in a tray of spinach and rotten fish.
"Chocolate Boy" "Chocolate Boy" hits different when you realize the entire episode is a shockingly dark commentary on the perils of addiction. Chocolate Boy is willing to dance like a monkey for a bag of chocolate. He is willing to dig through the dumpster for a chocolate bar. He is willing to humiliate and degrade himself just for one malted milk ball.
"Stoop Kid" Over 20 years later, and "Stoop kid's afraid to leave his stoop!" is still living rent-free in my mind. Along with "Pigeon Man," "Stoop Kid" is a character-driven episode that gives a perfect 11-minute snapshot of what Hey Arnold! does best: Arnold, the most compassionate 9-year-old boy in the whole world, helping someone believe in themselves.
