Hey All :) This video has recently been pushed into recommended somehow & jumped to 5k -- Very very cool to see so many new people stop by and share their love for Hey Arnold! All I want to say is that I also have a character breakdown of Harold on my channel as well that isn't being found ^-^ So if you liked this, feel free to check it out too! Thanks guys!
Hey Arnold is my favorite cartoon of all time! Growing up I would always say my favorite was Invader Zim in order to sound cool in front of my friends. But as I got older I realized just how special Hey Arnold really was.
As someone who grew up with Hey Arnold in his teens , I could definitely say it's not Nostalgia that brings you good memories with the show; It's more of, how they handled it with its array of beautiful jazz, fun Hijinx or nice calming relaxing moments that help bring the mood of the show together. Currently I'm 36 years old, and I still watch the show on occasion, whether the box set or its long awaited sequel movie, and it still brings me great joy an appreciation for what they had done in the show.
As a fellow '90s kid, this was one of the most loving tributes to describing our generation's childhood I've ever heard. Wonderfully written and narrated. "Hey Arnold" was an absolutely amazing show. It was a favorite of mine as a kid, but I've come to love and appreciate it even more as an adult. We were truly lucky to get such a show that took its time with story, character development, showing diversity without making it seem like quota-filling or winking to the audience about it, etc. It's a classic.
Not just nostalgic. Musical inspiration from decades prior combined with a unique animation style and the setting in a fictional city. Those qualities detach it from most time periods wich to this day makes it literally timeless.
NOAH I know what you mean man. Even so much as going to dinner and not being stuck on phones the whole time. Times have changed SO much in such a short period of time. I feel like a Boomer lol
@@Nerdybit Indeed. 90s was the best time (though I was born in '97), there's something special about 90s whenever I watch anything (especially shows / movies) related to it. I couldn't watch Hey Arnold much, but I've been loving it nowadays.
I was starting 4th grade when that show debuted. Same age as the characters. I feel I learned so much from that show that I actually put some aspects of Arnold and other characters into practice. Creators of this show pretty much helped raised us.
Nerdybit. Videos yup. I think it teaches ppl, that strange or awful behavior doesn’t come of thin air. There’s a reason to ppl’s action and it’s only fair to try to understand it and maybe help them.
This is SO beautifully written, spoken, edited etc! thank u for such an amazing homage to my FAVORITE cartoon ever. This was soul stirring, heart-warming and mentally captivating. It brought me back to a child in the 90s. Whew.
The quiet melancholy moments of this show that are overlaid by some soft jazz music and no one is talking but rather just dwelling with their thoughts and emotion were pulled off so well in this cartoon. A feat rarely pulled off to such success. Not every episode ends with a happy moment but many many end sadly. This show truly is The Peanuts of the 90s
yesssss! Such a good comparison. I love how they really make you feel like you're thinking along with the characters. very very respectable. Ty spencer!
I love this! My Gen Z relatives don’t understand why I’m such a deep thinker and don’t require loud and boisterous entertainment. Thank you for the explanation of why 90s kids, that loved Hey Arnold, are the way we are.
You dear sir, have a voice that is buttery smooth, like some unintentionally, non-invasive sensual thoughts are being whispered into my ears... and while the thoughts themselves, combined with the years old feeling of "what once was", might be just that - the video as a whole, brings a mountain of questions to light that are extremely relevant today. Touching on things like "empathy", "compassion", "abandonment", and "depression". This, Adam, is a great new path you've chosen :) To interject some "real" into the platform that i think might've been missing. And while these things individually, might already be found here, this is something that i would gleefully watch with a glass of wine, wrapped up in a warm blanket, not disregarding the problems that somewhat plague my current life situation, but instead, embrace the difficulties, and better understand what we, as people, should be focused on, more so now than ever before... "appreciation". Subbed and liked, my good man :) Great work!
I was in 3rd grade when hey Arnold came out and grew up with this. This is one of the great ones and yes! Flag football. Kids in the neighborhood...rollerblades, hopscotch, jump rope Nintendo, and bicycles. And actual real situations. Best kids shows. Also Doug.
Yessss! So real! I love it dude. Another hey Arnold video coming out when i get back from a business trip next week! I highly recommend both the Harold video on my channel, and the goofy movie one too :) thanks for checking out my stuff Karyn!
I am very excited to finally share this video with you! Hey Arnold has a soft spot in my childhood and it was a pleasure to revisit. I couldn't believe how dark and deep it got at some parts, and I'll be breaking down the characaters 1 by 1 after this! ALSO, this was the first video I've EVER done in Adobe After Effects, so it's hilarious to actually see my editing and animating improve throughout this video. I almost wanted to redo the whole first 4 minutes but I liked the result enough. #GoodEnough -- Hope you enjoy! And Let me know what parts of Hey Arnold you still remember!
I have a really hard time watching Pigeon Man without crying my eyes out and this is coming from someone who has a really hard time actually crying. I get sad a ton, but I dont cry usually. That episode hits way too close to home for me. It's an episode I relate to so much I remember Craig Bartlett mentioned that the melancholic tone of the series was inspired by Peanuts
Loved this - Very well-articulated review of Hey Arnold!. This was also one of my favorites and I grew up with it as well. It was such a brilliant show, I think because of the fact that it didn't sugar-coat life and discussed real issues that people actually deal with. It really made it a point to paint each character as a multi-dimensional and relatable character and I could see a bit of myself in a few characters which made me fall in love with the show. Even now if I watch an episode, I can see the genius behind the writing and the raw humanity it shows. I'm so glad I grew up with this show and hope there are shows that teach kids some of the real-life lessons that I learned from Hey Arnold!
1996. I was 8 years old. I remember watching this series from start to finish over the years. It shaped who I am today to be honest. It taught me so many good life lessons that I still carry with me
hell yea dude :D That's what I like to hear. I'll be doing a lot more 90s stuff here and I'm starting an anime channel tonight! let me know if you're down for any of that lol
@@Nerdybit 100% forsure. Tatsuhiro Satou from Welcome to the NHK would be a great character to break down if you ever wanted. I'm sure you've already got plenty of things in mind.
I got Paramount just because of Hey Arnold 😊 I was 6 when it came out and I’ve now introduced it to my 6 year old son who LOVES it ❤ I’m so blessed to be a 90’s baby for so many reasons but the main reason is to show my kids what real TV shows looked like in the best era known to man! ❤✨❤️✨
Your amount of time you took to make this video really reflects in the quality of it! Can’t wait to see the next video! I miss Hey Arnold! Would love to see a season 6 on Netflix.
Very well done! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and it's made me want to check out the show. I've only seen a few episodes of it. Somehow I missed out on it even though I watched other shows from that time, like Recess. Also, I love your voice. Very calming and peaceful. You should voice an audio book.
I would be HONORED to do an audio book! And YES definitely take a moment to even watch the classics in season 1. Some of them are INCREDIBLE (Like Arnold's Christmas) Thank you Airianna! Hope you're well! :)
Funny you should mention Recess -- a lot of creators from Hey Arnold! worked on that show, and there are definitely some commonalities -- ideas about kids having their own culture and social rules, about adults not always being right (and in fact often being as childish as kids)... Hey Arnold! goes a lot deeper than Recess, though. It has a lot of subtlety -- there are things communicated through expressions, vocal cues, and word choices that are easy to miss. Watching as an adult, I had impressions about characters and relationships, where, I wasn't sure if it was in the writing or just my interpretation. Later, I'd find out that it was in the writing, and I was picking up on stuff emotionally that I wasn't even registering logically. That is so hard to do, and I realy admire works that can pull it off.
Great video, man! I feel a deep personal connection to Hey Arnold!, and... It's complicated. The first time I saw it was when I was seven and saw Harriet the Spy in theaters. It was a rough version of "24 Hours to Live," and my reaction was, "Well, there's something I'll never watch!" The off-beat humor and... unique character designs put me off to it. I ended up watching it when it came out, anyway (I think in part because there was something novel about having been on of the first to see it), and of course, I ended up loving it. I even liked that episode once, because it no longer felt so random and zany once I had a feel for the characters. It was never my very favorite show growing up, but I'd say it was one of them, and I watched it for many years. Helga was my favorite, and... As a kid, I couldn't really see how Arnold would ever come around to her, but yeah, I did ship it, and... It wasn't my OTP or anything, but it was a ship that stuck in the back of my mind for years afterward. I'd occasionally have a dream that The Jungle Movie was finally happening, and they were finally going to get together. This was into adulthood. When I heard the movie actually was being made, I wanted to rewatch the series, but I put it off for a bit. I had other things to watch, and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I had when I was a kid. Haha! What a laugh! I actually got way more into it. And definitely not just because of nostalgia. There was some of that, but more than that, I'm more sophisticated than I was as a kid. I definitely understood the broader points of Hey Arnold! then. But I've gained a lot of experience since then, both with literature [TV included], and with life in general. Some things hit me harder. Like, I wasn't even a year into being an adult orphan when I first rewatched, and... Arnold has his grandparents, but they won't be around forever. My dad was older when I was born, and then my mom died first... Even before my dad died, I'd lived with fears about being left without family for a long time. I also saw a whole new dimension to Arnold and Helga's relationship. I got the impression that he had affectionate feelings toward her from the beginning. As it went on, I felt like he felt connected to her in a way that he didn't with anyone else, because he knew she was lonely in a similar way to him. Like, where he often has to be the adult in the house and hurts for others, Helga has to fend for herself a lot and is afraid of being vulnerable with anyone. Things like that are difficult enough on their own, but they're further isolating because no one around you really understands (I love how this show acknowledges that kids' emotional lives can be just as complex and heavy as adults'). I can put it into words like that, but really, the connection I felt there was just that -- something I felt, like, Oh, they're definitely soul mates. Total OTP! I got impressions from both characters and relationships in this show that I thought might've just been me, but then I'd hear later that yeah, that was totally the intention. Some cues were just so subtle, communiated through expression or vocal cue, that they only registered subconsciously. And it turns out I have a complicated relationship with Helga's character. Her more embarrassing moments had made me uncomfortable since I was a kid, but I'm not sure I understood exactly why. I've been obsessive about shipping since I was really little, so I knew I related to her romantic side, but... At that time, I didn't have access to fan communities on the internet. I knew it was weird to get so emotionally involved with fiction, and I didn't think anyone around me would understand. To me it was a core part of my identity, so I couldn't stand to be laughed at for it. It felt beautiful and meaningful, but at the same time, awkward and embarrassing. So I had this huge part of myself that no one knew. Oh, yeah, and having ships not work out, later, getting down about characters not being, technically, real, and then actual unrequited love... I know what it's like to have that kind of love/hate relationship with your own emotions. And also to feel dramatic and vindictive... And just generally her strong sense of self and willfulness and reliance on an inner reality to get through. Though I don't have those aggressive tendencies, Helga feels to me like who I feel myself to be in my heart. Rewatching Hey Arnold!, I experienced a kind of nostalgia that was new to me. I had been through a lot at that point, and I'd been feeling gray and directionless. But I got emotional about this show in a way I hadn't for a long time. Instead of making me want to go back to my childhood, it reminded me that I'm the same person I was back then. I've grown, I know a lot more, my opinions have changed. But on a core emotional level, I'm still the same person who gets stupidly emotional about fictional characters. It took me back to that place inside myself I thought had faded away. So... Hey Arnold! is a wonderful show all around, but that personal connection is why it's my favorite of all time. But you know, I think it's the kind of show that facilitates that kind of thing.
Because Phil and Pookie have gone through the horror of losing their son and most likely thinking that he caught the sleeping sickness and died, they could very well be considered the strongest couple in the show.
I hypothesis that nostalgia is the light in the darkness when were lost. If you feel good but still feel nastalgic, its still a good thing because its the light shining from your heart revealing where you really want to be.
Saki that's awesome to hear, thank you very much :) I don't have a podcast but I stream on Twitch weeknights if you're ever bored! Would love to have ya stop by Twitch / Theadamhawk
Hey arnold is one of my all time favorites i think it addresses issues we all dealt with as children and in such a meaningful way, i can still remember episodes almost 20 years since seeing them.... incredible
@@Nerdybit its not actually pigeon man tho that one does stand out to me because in many ways i relate to pigeon man, for a long time and often even now i feel distant from my fellow ape, like i just dont understand how or why the general pop thinks the way they do, the first episode that comes to mind for me is the Christmas episode were helga sacrifices her Christmas to make sure others got thiers, a truly humble and good message
@@jeffhough7460 oh dude the christmas episode is the BEST. One of the greatest cartoon episodes EVER. Let alone christmas specials. If you like stuff like this man, I do ask you to please also check out the goofy movie essay I just uploaded a few hours ago :) I think it's my best work. And you seem to like the same stuff as I do :P
Only accidentally found this cause I was searching for Pokemon type effectiveness videos, but man I'm glad! I didn't get to watch a lot of Hey Arnold as a kid, but it was still interesting and the points you are making well, make sense. This video was great. You got a new subscriber and maybe a few more after I show this to my friends :) Keep it up!
Great video bud, i felt really chill watching this. Also i wonder how I would feel going back and watching Hey Arnold now, because I haven't seen it in years! You also flashed Recess on screen, i watched that alot too. Your voice is so calming and relaxing. So glad i had a hot chocolate while watching this. Great stuff and I definately want to see the future Hey Arnold ones ;)
Aw! Hahaha thank you so much Kylie!! I actually hiiiighly recommend revisiting it as an adult. ALSO! THERES A MOVIE That came out just a few years ago. They didn't market enough for it. It's really good :)
Thank you so much! I have some really big plans :D Hey Arnold, Land Before Time, etc... much more to come (I just need to stop playing video games and start editing lol)
There are quite a few of these Hey Arnold video essays on UA-cam. This show had a bigger impact of people of my generation than I ever knew. Been rewatching it (I’m 30 now) and I’m loving the show even as an adult. And realized that I actually took quite a few life lessons from this show
Hey, found you on Twitch, thought your voice was cute so I came here. Bahahaha. In all honesty though.. this hit home for me. We've had our ups and downs and this shit really made me smile. I'm very proud to call you a good friend of mine. Well freakin' done Hawks.
I feel whenever I watched this show, it was a fuel of a lot of nostalgia, maybe even more than that. This show represented life in which no other show had done before or done since. It perfectly presented life pre 9/11 and it’s interesting that the show ceased production in 2001. I find it sad how nick handled the show and airing the last couple of episodes
Man it really does hold up! Even all the way back to season 1, that's when they did the Mr Hyunhs daughter episode and stuff. Way to start off with some bangers
I wonder what was it about the 90's that lend itself to the environment that allowed these shows to be put on air. I don't know to many new cartoons, but I feel like kids show now lack that same quality of many 90's cartoons.
Very curious, right? Here's a crazy theory -- The late 80's - early 90's were some of the most peaceful post-war times in recent US history. I think the whole country was rather laid-back and shows from the 90s reflect that attitude. Special times for animation and story telling for sure. No political undertones, no cultural divide... just living life.
I reminisce a fair bit about some old TV shows, but Hey Arnold holds a special place in my heart. I've always been a rather melancholy person, even in childhood, and Hey Arnold was the only work of fiction I encountered as a child that helped me get in touch with that part of myself. I recently re-watched a few episodes on a whim, and was really glad that I could still feel that same sense of poignancy even after all these years. Thank you for sharing this video essay! Cheers! P.S. Would you mind if I ask what song you used at around 1:10? It sounds really familliar, but I don't remember that from the Hey Arnold soundtrack
hey buddy! tysm for the comment. I actually dont remember the title of that song but if I find it I"ll come back to you -- and you're right! it's not from Hey Arnold, it was actually from a royalty free lofi playlist I combed through :D
@@Nerdybit essence. So many shows have sadness, happiness, laughter, violence, love etc…why does hey Arnold have such a lasting impressions? There’s an underlying essence that makes it so rich and deep. Umami
I am just here thinking about the impact of nick news and how it inspired me to do nothing but dive deeper into a topic, ask the w's, be objective. Damn the 90s was just strictly a better world.
Hey! You know, with all of this quarantine stuff going down I've thought about doing it soon :) so stay tuned. Itll most likely be a harold related video
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
For you. Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.

We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.

He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us.

Hey Arnold is my favorite cartoon of all time! Growing up I would always say my favorite was Invader Zim in order to sound cool in front of my friends. But as I got older I realized just how special Hey Arnold really was.
Dude I should go back and watch invader zim sometime, I missed out!
I’m with you, agree wholeheartedly
90s kid, I’m proud to have been one. Best times
AGREED. I think everybody says that about their generation? but lets be honest, we ruled. Now it's just iphones and narcissism
"I was free"
90's mood bro.
Right? 90's mood and pre-adult responsibilities at least hahaha
As someone who grew up with Hey Arnold in his teens , I could definitely say it's not Nostalgia that brings you good memories with the show; It's more of, how they handled it with its array of beautiful jazz, fun Hijinx or nice calming relaxing moments that help bring the mood of the show together. Currently I'm 36 years old, and I still watch the show on occasion, whether the box set or its long awaited sequel movie, and it still brings me great joy an appreciation for what they had done in the show.
As a fellow '90s kid, this was one of the most loving tributes to describing our generation's childhood I've ever heard. Wonderfully written and narrated.
"Hey Arnold" was an absolutely amazing show. It was a favorite of mine as a kid, but I've come to love and appreciate it even more as an adult. We were truly lucky to get such a show that took its time with story, character development, showing diversity without making it seem like quota-filling or winking to the audience about it, etc. It's a classic.
omg i'm flattered. What a sweet comment on such a hidden video! Thank you alicia. very very nice to read over here at 5am hahaha. I appreciate you.
also if you like this style of cozy videos, I HIGHLY recommend my video on A Goofy Movie as well :)
Not just nostalgic. Musical inspiration from decades prior combined with a unique animation style and the setting in a fictional city. Those qualities detach it from most time periods wich to this day makes it literally timeless.
Well said hugh man!
I don't think I ever deeply thought about nostalgia until this as this has given me a deeper perception of the concept. Thanks so much for this dude.
So excited to see you and everybody this week man! Thanks again for all of the kind words! I think nostalgia is a good thing :)
Man I miss growing up in the time where you couldn’t be on the phone and internet at the same time
NOAH I know what you mean man. Even so much as going to dinner and not being stuck on phones the whole time. Times have changed SO much in such a short period of time. I feel like a Boomer lol
@@Nerdybit Indeed. 90s was the best time (though I was born in '97), there's something special about 90s whenever I watch anything (especially shows / movies) related to it.
I couldn't watch Hey Arnold much, but I've been loving it nowadays.
@@prize5ighter That's really cool dude! Yeah even 97 is TECHNICALLY a 90s kid :P I'm sure you've still seen it around in your childhood. Very cool.
I was starting 4th grade when that show debuted. Same age as the characters. I feel I learned so much from that show that I actually put some aspects of Arnold and other characters into practice.
Creators of this show pretty much helped raised us.
100%! I think we need more hey arnold raised kids nowadays 😂😂
Nerdybit. Videos
yup. I think it teaches ppl, that strange or awful behavior doesn’t come of thin air. There’s a reason to ppl’s action and it’s only fair to try to understand it and maybe help them.
I definitely noticed your adobe skills improving throughout the video. Very well done!
Yes!! Thanks man! I wanted to go back and fix it but it's okay to showcase progression
This is SO beautifully written, spoken, edited etc! thank u for such an amazing homage to my FAVORITE cartoon ever. This was soul stirring, heart-warming and mentally captivating. It brought me back to a child in the 90s. Whew.
ahhh thanks so much man!~ It's rare that people feel the same way about my content as I do making it... I'm glad this hit the spot :D
Jim Lang’s gorgeous nostalgic music elevates an already beautiful cartoon to another level of beauty.
The quiet melancholy moments of this show that are overlaid by some soft jazz music and no one is talking but rather just dwelling with their thoughts and emotion were pulled off so well in this cartoon. A feat rarely pulled off to such success. Not every episode ends with a happy moment but many many end sadly. This show truly is The Peanuts of the 90s
yesssss! Such a good comparison. I love how they really make you feel like you're thinking along with the characters. very very respectable. Ty spencer!
It's the relaxing feeling it use to give you and the artwork of the city was just perfect
and your name makes me want some scotch :D
I love this! My Gen Z relatives don’t understand why I’m such a deep thinker and don’t require loud and boisterous entertainment. Thank you for the explanation of why 90s kids, that loved Hey Arnold, are the way we are.
Thank you so much :) i like the way you explained that. Very relatable
You dear sir, have a voice that is buttery smooth, like some unintentionally, non-invasive sensual thoughts are being whispered into my ears... and while the thoughts themselves, combined with the years old feeling of "what once was", might be just that - the video as a whole, brings a mountain of questions to light that are extremely relevant today.

This, Adam, is a great new path you've chosen :) To interject some "real" into the platform that i think might've been missing. And while these things individually, might already be found here, this is something that i would gleefully watch with a glass of wine, wrapped up in a warm blanket, not disregarding the problems that somewhat plague my current life situation, but instead, embrace the difficulties, and better understand what we, as people, should be focused on, more so now than ever before... "appreciation".
Subbed and liked, my good man :) Great work!
That's extremely flattering man and LOL I can't get over your description. I had to read that so slowly just to soak it all in lmaoooo. Thanks buddy!!
I was in 3rd grade when hey Arnold came out and grew up with this.
This is one of the great ones and yes! Flag football. Kids in the neighborhood...rollerblades, hopscotch, jump rope
Nintendo, and bicycles. And actual real situations. Best kids shows.
Also Doug.
Yessss! So real! I love it dude. Another hey Arnold video coming out when i get back from a business trip next week! I highly recommend both the Harold video on my channel, and the goofy movie one too :) thanks for checking out my stuff Karyn!
I am very excited to finally share this video with you! Hey Arnold has a soft spot in my childhood and it was a pleasure to revisit. I couldn't believe how dark and deep it got at some parts, and I'll be breaking down the characaters 1 by 1 after this! ALSO, this was the first video I've EVER done in Adobe After Effects, so it's hilarious to actually see my editing and animating improve throughout this video. I almost wanted to redo the whole first 4 minutes but I liked the result enough. #GoodEnough -- Hope you enjoy! And Let me know what parts of Hey Arnold you still remember!
How deep really is, but you don’t realize that when you’re a kid for obvious reasons, you realize once you’ve been through it all.
makes is super precious to look back on, doesn't it?!@@slystone4892
@@Nerdybit yes indeed, nostalgia hits hard.
I have a really hard time watching Pigeon Man without crying my eyes out and this is coming from someone who has a really hard time actually crying. I get sad a ton, but I dont cry usually. That episode hits way too close to home for me. It's an episode I relate to so much
I remember Craig Bartlett mentioned that the melancholic tone of the series was inspired by Peanuts
Pigeon Man is a legend! I wish they gave Craig more room to work with
Loved this - Very well-articulated review of Hey Arnold!. This was also one of my favorites and I grew up with it as well. It was such a brilliant show, I think because of the fact that it didn't sugar-coat life and discussed real issues that people actually deal with. It really made it a point to paint each character as a multi-dimensional and relatable character and I could see a bit of myself in a few characters which made me fall in love with the show. Even now if I watch an episode, I can see the genius behind the writing and the raw humanity it shows. I'm so glad I grew up with this show and hope there are shows that teach kids some of the real-life lessons that I learned from Hey Arnold!
You are 100% RIGHT about "raw humanity' !!!! There are a few shows that emulate it but not many at the moment.
1996. I was 8 years old. I remember watching this series from start to finish over the years. It shaped who I am today to be honest. It taught me so many good life lessons that I still carry with me
i was 9 years old, remember everything perfectly. Great video!
This is exactly what I've been looking for and needed. Some good chill nostalgic 90s talk. Thanks man, great vid.
hell yea dude :D That's what I like to hear. I'll be doing a lot more 90s stuff here and I'm starting an anime channel tonight! let me know if you're down for any of that lol
@@Nerdybit 100% forsure. Tatsuhiro Satou from Welcome to the NHK would be a great character to break down if you ever wanted. I'm sure you've already got plenty of things in mind.
@@ianhelgerson6146 I definitely do :D Like the old hanna barbera Godzilla cartoon, Tremors, Zuko... all kinds of things. What is NHK?
I got Paramount just because of Hey Arnold 😊 I was 6 when it came out and I’ve now introduced it to my 6 year old son who LOVES it ❤ I’m so blessed to be a 90’s baby for so many reasons but the main reason is to show my kids what real TV shows looked like in the best era known to man! ❤✨❤️✨
you're raising a 90s baby! Lets goooo hahahah. congrats to you and your fam :) Now get him a pair of converse
@@Nerdybit 😂😂😂 Thank you!
ahahaha anytime! Check out the video I did on Curly or Harold if you get bored later. some more good ones@@yaayaadavis
Your amount of time you took to make this video really reflects in the quality of it! Can’t wait to see the next video! I miss Hey Arnold! Would love to see a season 6 on Netflix.
Very well done! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and it's made me want to check out the show. I've only seen a few episodes of it. Somehow I missed out on it even though I watched other shows from that time, like Recess.
Also, I love your voice. Very calming and peaceful. You should voice an audio book.
I would be HONORED to do an audio book! And YES definitely take a moment to even watch the classics in season 1. Some of them are INCREDIBLE (Like Arnold's Christmas) Thank you Airianna! Hope you're well! :)
Funny you should mention Recess -- a lot of creators from Hey Arnold! worked on that show, and there are definitely some commonalities -- ideas about kids having their own culture and social rules, about adults not always being right (and in fact often being as childish as kids)... Hey Arnold! goes a lot deeper than Recess, though. It has a lot of subtlety -- there are things communicated through expressions, vocal cues, and word choices that are easy to miss. Watching as an adult, I had impressions about characters and relationships, where, I wasn't sure if it was in the writing or just my interpretation. Later, I'd find out that it was in the writing, and I was picking up on stuff emotionally that I wasn't even registering logically. That is so hard to do, and I realy admire works that can pull it off.
I didn’t expect this to make me cry :’)
ahahaha aw *hands plate of cookies*
Great video, man! I feel a deep personal connection to Hey Arnold!, and... It's complicated. The first time I saw it was when I was seven and saw Harriet the Spy in theaters. It was a rough version of "24 Hours to Live," and my reaction was, "Well, there's something I'll never watch!" The off-beat humor and... unique character designs put me off to it. I ended up watching it when it came out, anyway (I think in part because there was something novel about having been on of the first to see it), and of course, I ended up loving it. I even liked that episode once, because it no longer felt so random and zany once I had a feel for the characters. It was never my very favorite show growing up, but I'd say it was one of them, and I watched it for many years. Helga was my favorite, and... As a kid, I couldn't really see how Arnold would ever come around to her, but yeah, I did ship it, and... It wasn't my OTP or anything, but it was a ship that stuck in the back of my mind for years afterward. I'd occasionally have a dream that The Jungle Movie was finally happening, and they were finally going to get together. This was into adulthood.
When I heard the movie actually was being made, I wanted to rewatch the series, but I put it off for a bit. I had other things to watch, and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much as I had when I was a kid. Haha! What a laugh! I actually got way more into it. And definitely not just because of nostalgia. There was some of that, but more than that, I'm more sophisticated than I was as a kid. I definitely understood the broader points of Hey Arnold! then. But I've gained a lot of experience since then, both with literature [TV included], and with life in general. Some things hit me harder. Like, I wasn't even a year into being an adult orphan when I first rewatched, and... Arnold has his grandparents, but they won't be around forever. My dad was older when I was born, and then my mom died first... Even before my dad died, I'd lived with fears about being left without family for a long time. I also saw a whole new dimension to Arnold and Helga's relationship. I got the impression that he had affectionate feelings toward her from the beginning. As it went on, I felt like he felt connected to her in a way that he didn't with anyone else, because he knew she was lonely in a similar way to him. Like, where he often has to be the adult in the house and hurts for others, Helga has to fend for herself a lot and is afraid of being vulnerable with anyone. Things like that are difficult enough on their own, but they're further isolating because no one around you really understands (I love how this show acknowledges that kids' emotional lives can be just as complex and heavy as adults'). I can put it into words like that, but really, the connection I felt there was just that -- something I felt, like, Oh, they're definitely soul mates. Total OTP! I got impressions from both characters and relationships in this show that I thought might've just been me, but then I'd hear later that yeah, that was totally the intention. Some cues were just so subtle, communiated through expression or vocal cue, that they only registered subconsciously.
And it turns out I have a complicated relationship with Helga's character. Her more embarrassing moments had made me uncomfortable since I was a kid, but I'm not sure I understood exactly why. I've been obsessive about shipping since I was really little, so I knew I related to her romantic side, but... At that time, I didn't have access to fan communities on the internet. I knew it was weird to get so emotionally involved with fiction, and I didn't think anyone around me would understand. To me it was a core part of my identity, so I couldn't stand to be laughed at for it. It felt beautiful and meaningful, but at the same time, awkward and embarrassing. So I had this huge part of myself that no one knew. Oh, yeah, and having ships not work out, later, getting down about characters not being, technically, real, and then actual unrequited love... I know what it's like to have that kind of love/hate relationship with your own emotions. And also to feel dramatic and vindictive... And just generally her strong sense of self and willfulness and reliance on an inner reality to get through. Though I don't have those aggressive tendencies, Helga feels to me like who I feel myself to be in my heart.
Rewatching Hey Arnold!, I experienced a kind of nostalgia that was new to me. I had been through a lot at that point, and I'd been feeling gray and directionless. But I got emotional about this show in a way I hadn't for a long time. Instead of making me want to go back to my childhood, it reminded me that I'm the same person I was back then. I've grown, I know a lot more, my opinions have changed. But on a core emotional level, I'm still the same person who gets stupidly emotional about fictional characters. It took me back to that place inside myself I thought had faded away. So...
Hey Arnold! is a wonderful show all around, but that personal connection is why it's my favorite of all time. But you know, I think it's the kind of show that facilitates that kind of thing.
That personal connection is SO powerful! You're 100% right
Hey! I found you on Twitch. Great job with the video friend.
Daaaaaayum I see what you did there. Thanks man!! I like your username Kappa
Beautiful video essay which I watched today again. Thank you.
of course! :D
I didn’t know I needed this video. Thank you
I love hearing that man! Thank you!
Because Phil and Pookie have gone through the horror of losing their son and most likely thinking that he caught the sleeping sickness and died, they could very well be considered the strongest couple in the show.
Can't believe I missed this, so good!
Dude I’m so glad it’s done!! Such a good video and made me reflect on my own childhood. LOVE IT (also so glad you get the bubblegum shrine part in XD)
Oh heck yes I needed that outro. Was definitely going for a #filmtheory vibe there hahahaha
I hypothesis that nostalgia is the light in the darkness when were lost. If you feel good but still feel nastalgic, its still a good thing because its the light shining from your heart revealing where you really want to be.
I mean you should make a podcast and I’d listen to it everyday. You spoke to my soul, man
Saki that's awesome to hear, thank you very much :) I don't have a podcast but I stream on Twitch weeknights if you're ever bored! Would love to have ya stop by Twitch / Theadamhawk
@@Nerdybit I've never used twitch but I can totally look into it!
@@Saki35721 oh dang! all good :D Maybe I'll just start some more youtube channels then LOL
Don't gotta do that xD I'll just figure out twitch!
@@Saki35721 hahaha! we'll see :P
Hey arnold is one of my all time favorites i think it addresses issues we all dealt with as children and in such a meaningful way, i can still remember episodes almost 20 years since seeing them.... incredible
what's the first episode that comes to mind when you think of Hey Arnold and why is it Pigeon Man?
@@Nerdybit its not actually pigeon man tho that one does stand out to me because in many ways i relate to pigeon man, for a long time and often even now i feel distant from my fellow ape, like i just dont understand how or why the general pop thinks the way they do, the first episode that comes to mind for me is the Christmas episode were helga sacrifices her Christmas to make sure others got thiers, a truly humble and good message
@@jeffhough7460 oh dude the christmas episode is the BEST. One of the greatest cartoon episodes EVER. Let alone christmas specials. If you like stuff like this man, I do ask you to please also check out the goofy movie essay I just uploaded a few hours ago :) I think it's my best work. And you seem to like the same stuff as I do :P
Only accidentally found this cause I was searching for Pokemon type effectiveness videos, but man I'm glad! I didn't get to watch a lot of Hey Arnold as a kid, but it was still interesting and the points you are making well, make sense. This video was great. You got a new subscriber and maybe a few more after I show this to my friends :) Keep it up!
Ahhh kchan that's so cool, ty!
Great video bud, i felt really chill watching this. Also i wonder how I would feel going back and watching Hey Arnold now, because I haven't seen it in years! You also flashed Recess on screen, i watched that alot too. Your voice is so calming and relaxing. So glad i had a hot chocolate while watching this. Great stuff and I definately want to see the future Hey Arnold ones ;)
Aw! Hahaha thank you so much Kylie!! I actually hiiiighly recommend revisiting it as an adult. ALSO! THERES A MOVIE That came out just a few years ago. They didn't market enough for it. It's really good :)
This was a work of art. Loved it.
Thank you so much Lazy!!
It’s just a beautiful insightful cartoon full of heart and soul.
Gonna watch some Hey Arnold. Tonight 😊
niiiice hahaha what episodes?
Fave moment: any quiet moment to reflect a scene with its beautiful jazz music.
Right? man. we need more jazz!
This is beautiful! Keep making videos!!
Thank you so much! I have some really big plans :D Hey Arnold, Land Before Time, etc... much more to come (I just need to stop playing video games and start editing lol)
There are quite a few of these Hey Arnold video essays on UA-cam. This show had a bigger impact of people of my generation than I ever knew. Been rewatching it (I’m 30 now) and I’m loving the show even as an adult. And realized that I actually took quite a few life lessons from this show
Hey man, I'm liking your style. Sort of- noir. Looking forward to more.
Ah thanks so much! I may have gotten sucked into twitch a bit the last few months. But new video soon :)
Nostalgia is still about returning home. But not just to a place but to a time
LOVE that!
He’s back and better than ever! Woot!
FINALLY someone doesn't tell me fetus me was my prime :P Thanks bro!
Hey, found you on Twitch, thought your voice was cute so I came here. Bahahaha.
In all honesty though.. this hit home for me. We've had our ups and downs and this shit really made me smile. I'm very proud to call you a good friend of mine. Well freakin' done Hawks.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh my GOD.
What a shame Hey Arnold’s beautiful music isn’t available on Spotify.
That's actually crazy that it isnt?! Should contact him to upload. What a bummer
@@Nerdybit please do if you can and ask him cause it’s just beautiful music specially that Ing of the Valentine’s Day, for me the best episode.
Really this video should get more views
Thank you Zonk! I think once I start rolling out more content and people see the rest of my ideas it'll go well. Cheers :D
I feel whenever I watched this show, it was a fuel of a lot of nostalgia, maybe even more than that. This show represented life in which no other show had done before or done since. It perfectly presented life pre 9/11 and it’s interesting that the show ceased production in 2001. I find it sad how nick handled the show and airing the last couple of episodes
Leah sent me here. Super great video, I loved the sound design very much. How good is Hey Arnold too right? It really holds up.
Man it really does hold up! Even all the way back to season 1, that's when they did the Mr Hyunhs daughter episode and stuff. Way to start off with some bangers
I wonder what was it about the 90's that lend itself to the environment that allowed these shows to be put on air. I don't know to many new cartoons, but I feel like kids show now lack that same quality of many 90's cartoons.
Very curious, right? Here's a crazy theory -- The late 80's - early 90's were some of the most peaceful post-war times in recent US history. I think the whole country was rather laid-back and shows from the 90s reflect that attitude. Special times for animation and story telling for sure. No political undertones, no cultural divide... just living life.
I reminisce a fair bit about some old TV shows, but Hey Arnold holds a special place in my heart.
I've always been a rather melancholy person, even in childhood, and Hey Arnold was the only work of fiction I encountered as a child that helped me get in touch with that part of myself. I recently re-watched a few episodes on a whim, and was really glad that I could still feel that same sense of poignancy even after all these years.
Thank you for sharing this video essay! Cheers!
P.S. Would you mind if I ask what song you used at around 1:10? It sounds really familliar, but I don't remember that from the Hey Arnold soundtrack
hey buddy! tysm for the comment. I actually dont remember the title of that song but if I find it I"ll come back to you -- and you're right! it's not from Hey Arnold, it was actually from a royalty free lofi playlist I combed through :D
Hey Arnold has Umami…that’s why it stands the test of time
umami, how so?
@@Nerdybit essence. So many shows have sadness, happiness, laughter, violence, love etc…why does hey Arnold have such a lasting impressions? There’s an underlying essence that makes it so rich and deep. Umami
@@Artfulscience1 ahh. i like thinking of it that way. Hey arnold, the parmesan cheese of 90s cartoonism. hahaha
Bro this is sick
I'm glad you like it dude!
@@Nerdybit Hell ya man - got to watch more. You've got a happy, new subscriber!
amazing video man can not wait for next video
Ahhhh thank you!!
Atta boy!
I can only assume this is Adam's Bedroom Voice.
You're a few minutes of crying away from accuracy!
Absolute 🔥
I really miss old Nickelodeon. So much classics
amazing editing, i can also hear that shure sm7b Kreygasm, oh wait this isnt twitch i shouldnt use twitch talk here....Pepega Kappa
I am just here thinking about the impact of nick news and how it inspired me to do nothing but dive deeper into a topic, ask the w's, be objective. Damn the 90s was just strictly a better world.
WOAH. I forgot about Nick News entirely... I wonder if would have aged well looking back.
I was born in 95, so I’m not sure if I count as a 90s kid.
heckyea you count! you'd still be in my gym class in highschool :P I'd just be a few years older.
What? A season 6?????!!!!!!
Yeah! It's been in talks forEVER! Nothing set in stone. But I know he wants to do it.
Well that was uh, not bad
As in pretty good, I liked it
hahaha thanks. I think.
your voice is 👌🏼
Jennaaaa! Thank you dude!
wheres the next one?
Hey! You know, with all of this quarantine stuff going down I've thought about doing it soon :) so stay tuned. Itll most likely be a harold related video
Update :D The Harold Guide was posted!
hi theadamhawk from twitch
HAHAHAHA hi demon
I think your voice is cute 😁
Hahahaha thank you! Go back to work! :B
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is
murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
- (AMPLIFIED version)
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.

Not from any good, works that you or I could do.
