You're reacting to Hey Arnold? That's one of the best shows of the 90s glad to see you watch it.

Principal tier list would be a good idea

Moral: Don’t get suspended. Just stay in school. This episode does prove that school is not all bad. This was before smart phones, the internet and social media so I’m pretty sure staying at home was boring more back then, at least in this case.

Harold is in the 4th grade, but he's a few years older than the other kids in his class due to being held back, turning 13 in the series. He's kind of a bully, but he's also insecure and can be a huge crybaby at times, often screaming "mommy" and running away when his actions get him in too deep. This isn't the only time he gets into some serious trouble with Principal Wartz. Speaking of Wartz, I only now see re-watching this show as an adult how unprofessional and petty his short temper is. I really would love to see this "school constitution" he keeps citing, because some of the claims that he has made about what it says are suspect, and even ludicrous in some other episodes. At times, I'm convinced he's making this stuff up and hoping the kids don't notice.

The thing about wartz is that he can be really unfair. In fact they delve into that in the principal simmons episode. So you should check that out. Other great hey arnold school episodes- school play,helga on the couch, new teacher, full moon,sid's revenge, curly snaps,false alarm, teachers strike, tutoring turvold, student teacher,hookey,phoebe skips, phoebe cheats, polishing rhonda, back to school, and egg story

Harold having his “flawless” pizza delivery disguise still makes me laugh to this day. I remember even on days when I was sick I’d realize it would get boring because all my friends were at school and I couldn’t hang out with them. So I definitely felt that when Harold realized he couldn’t play with his friends.

Yes do them all thanks I forgot about Full Moon

Fun fact a lot of voices on Hey Arnold you will also hear on Recess. For example Wolfgang The bully shares the same voice as King Bob from recess

I thought it was interesting that Hey Arnold named its bully characters (minus Harold, who became more of a nuisance than a bully) after classical composers. Wolfgang's lackey is named Ludwig.

Hey, arnold is a show that's very unique among its contemporaries because it discusses a multitude of topics that aren't usually explored for a younger audience. Alcoholism is explored through one of the main characters' mom of all people, and world history is shown through a neighbor's past in the vietnam War and a grandpa's in WW2, where he supposedly give Hitler a wedgie. The creator really wanted to show that complex topics should not be off the table for kids as long as they're handled with understanding as well as entertainment.

25:35 Reminds me of the time Ned and Moze were defending Cookie and got detention for it.

I’m surprised that the school hasn’t notified Harold’s parents about him suspended . Although I have a feeling if Wartz tells Harold’s parents that he suspended their son for calling him a “stupid dork.” I have a feeling they would either be pissed or laugh at his face.

Principal Wartz takes his job as school Principal very serious, sometimes over the top too. He would use his authority to make regulations that are way beyond realistic. Some of it makes sense, some of it is just crazy. You will see this and more in episodes like, “Principal Simmons” and “Full Moon”.

Your first published Hey Arnold! episode.

I have been suspended once for a few days in junior high after standing up for myself against a bully. We both were punished but she left me alone afterwards so it was worth it.

Hey Arnold was my childhood! Thank you for reacting to this episode! Looking forward to your reaction to the other episode’s recommended.

The guy with the fire extinguisher is wolfgang a worse bully

Wait till you meet mister Mcvicker from beavis and butthead 😂

Yes I knew you would do it

Another kinda school episode I'd like to see from you is "The Flood". I wanna hear your take on what schools would do for a natural disaster during school hours.

Bro you should watch false alarm, I consider it one of the best hey arnold episodes

Hey Arnold is such a fun show. Can't wait to see more reactions of it. You should definitely do the tier list ranking the schools, teachers, and principles from each show. Would be awesome.

I always wondered why Principal Wartz, Mr. Simmons or the school in general never contacted Harold’s parents regarding his suspension. With all the stunts Harold did as well as his behavior, the school should have contacted because regardless if he is suspended or not, they are still responsible for his safety since he’s a minor and the parents were not present or notified. I know this show was in like the late 90’s and early 2000’s, but there is no way this would exist today since schools would be liable for student’s safety.

Wartz has a bit of a mix of jerky and humanizing moments through the course of the show

For a principal tier I would love to see Mr. Bone from Doug! Another good Hey Arnold episode is Helga on the Couch. A student has to see a psychiatrist for behavioral improvement.

"Hey Arnold" is one of my top 8 favorite Nick shows of all time! The show explains about Arnold (the main character of the show) who does all he can to help solve everyone's problems on a daily basis. In my eyes, he is the most reasonable character in Nickelodeon history. Speaking of suspension ... I've never had out of school suspension before. But I did serve IN SCHOOL suspension, all day long, when I was a freshman in high school! Couldn't go to class, or go to lunch. Nothing like that. Had to stay in there due to an altercation I had with another classmate who was nothing but a bully. Reason I got it was because I picked up the table that he was sitting on and he fell. And I wound up getting it. I only did it to stand my ground to him because of the way he treated me. After the entire day of ISS, I came home with a pounding headache, couldn't do anything but lay in bed. It was horrifying. Now if you're going to think about doing more "Hey Arnold" episodes, I would recommend reacting to "Teachers Strike" (season 2, episode 18b).

Back in the 90's when I was in elementary school, I got depended for a couple of days, but I went to school anyway and not got caught. My parents never found out. It was awesome.

In my school people did get suspended for different reasons. There was also a thing called isolation where you are still in school but just not in any classes for the day. Just working elsewhere. And that can happen for different reasons. I remember a girl that once got taken out of class because she came into school with a pink streak in her hair. Also, the teachers were able to call for a senior member of staff at any time if they felt they needed to and have the student go with them and be dealt with by them.

I’d definitely be open to seeing a principals tier list. Skinner, Krupp, Franklin, Warts, and even the principal from Baldi’s Basics all deserve a mention.

This man legit pulled a Miles Edgeworth in this episode. I wonder what you would think of Mr. Goose?

4:45 As a kid, I'd say, "thanks for the 1 week extra school holiday".

Oh yeah!! Finally its Here!!🎉 The Intro already kicks so hard 😍 I love this series so much because I watched it so many times when I was a child. I still watch it regularly once a year ^^ Nowadays as an adult you realize that many episodes have an important moral at the end. 4:20 Yes, its a good idea! In general, there are a lot of episodes that are suitable for the channel and that you can react to, like Arnold the Tutor, Hall Monitor, Teachers Strike, Hookey, The New Teacher, The Aptitude Test, Curly Snaps, Full Moon or Sids Revenge as an example.

12:09 those talk shows with people throwing chairs at each other. I wonder if that’s supposed to be a reference to Jerry Springer?

There's an episode that centers around Eugene being framed for pulling the fire alarm and was tried by his peers, it's called False Alarm.

The episodes False Alarm, Flood, and New Teacher are some of my favorite school-themed episodes from Hey Arnold.

Thank you I love hey Arnold good show to react for our favorite KZfaq principal!

In my school district, if you were suspended your parents had to personally pick you up from school that day, and then they had to personally return you to the front office the first day after the suspension was up, and in both cases there would be a meeting between the parents and the principal or vice principal. After my best friend got suspended for 3 days, I quickly learned that I'd rather be in school.

You should have started with the teachers strike episode since you are the principal we need your thoughts on if you ever handled a teacher strike and what would you do

Also False Alarm I would love for you to do that one

I haven’t heard of the specific radius thing, either. What I’m used to is that a student who is suspended or expelled is not allowed to set foot *on the property line*, lest consequences ensue.

Hey, British teacher here. Enjoy your content and yes, definitely should do a Principal tier list (or Headteacher/Headermaster/Headmistress as we say in the UK) That would be fun.

Im so glad your reacting to Hey Arnold not only are there many episodes you can react to but because of how relatable these characters are, it's something you dont see in many cartoons today.

2:43 Look at that guy’s nose. 😂

I know you are familiar with a lot of SpongeBob these particular schemes that Harold is doing connects so much to the episode of SpongeBob Best Frenemies a lot of those came to play in that episode also there is a CatDog episode All You Can Eat which goes into it

I am definitely a fan of Hey Arnold and would love to see more. Some recommended school related episodes are: New Teacher Curly Snaps Back to School Helga on the Couch On the Lam Sid's Revenge Tutoring Torvald Ms. Perfect The Big Scoop Day in the Life of a Classroom Phoebe Skips False Alarm Teacher's Strike Egg Story Longest Monday Oskar Can't Read? There are a lot of school related episodes but these seem more fitting, the last one isn't school related but still seems appropriate.

Hey Arnold is awesome! The guy who worked on it is the main person who did Disneys recess! A lot of the voice cast are cast in recess too

This show is a vibe, like the youngsters say. Great reaction and very informative as always 👌

Harold is basically a human version of Binky from Arthur.

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Hey Arnold!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Harold: “Desperation Shot!” (basketball bounces off pole and goes into traffic, causing a car crash)

Sweet! I loved watching Hey Arnold!

Do jimmy neutron

🤩👍🏾good morning, and thank you!!!🙌🏾💯

Alright some hey arnold my nephew loves how wacky this episode is. One of the first he saw. Love this series😊

When I was in elementary school (over 20 years ago), I had both in-school and out-of-school suspensions. In-school, I basically sat in a book room by myself all day. Out-of-school, my dad would be there mad at me while he worked from home. No contest, I'd prefer in-school suspensions, but I don't know enough about child discipline to know which one is better for development, because I certainly didn't feel punished getting a day to myself to read whatever book I wanted. 😭

Hey Arnold is my all time favorites

Glad your reviewing this series.

I remember when i was suspended and i wasnt even told..didint go over well when my principle went a little nuts when he saw me. In fact every year id get suspiciously suspended without explanation..i found out later that it was only durring standardized test periods. Cause of poor academics of some kids he dididnt want them to make him look bad so hed just boot them out so they wouldnt be there to take them.

The fact that Ds don’t exist anymore is shocking to me. I graduated high school in 2009 so this is news to me. Also I have to say as someone who has been suspended (I hit another boy in class btw, I was that combative in class cause of bullying) I agree with you that the fact the school NEVER called the parents that he’s suspended was the most unrealistic part of the episode. My parents took away the TV, video games, and computer (Internet was around then) when I was suspended. So that’s another unrealistic part.

5:37 I remember one of my co workers had an accident with the fire extinguisher that hurt him really bad. So yea fire extinguishers are a serious matter

Also one fun fact about Hey Arnold was how Nickelodeon would point out the odd head shapes of each kid

Have you watched the episode that is the equivalent of a SS where Curly steals all the gym balls and locks himself in the principal's office?

The original Rugrats episode little dude

9:51 I remember Captain Underpants poking fun at this. If you watch the ninth episode of the series (the one with the Smelly Socktopus), you’ll know what I’m talking about because the plot is centered around George and Harold trying to get suspended after being misled into thinking it’s a good thing.

Tier list sounds fun

I’m not surprised Harold’s pizza delivery man disguise didn’t work. I’m used to seeing schools halt unauthorized food transport (in fact, it’s a strict policy that went into full effect at my old high school a long time ago), but instead of sending the delivery driver back to where they came from, the staff members at the front office will take the food and discard it immediately. They’ll only accept food transport commissioned specifically by the administration team or by the coaches.

Harold is mostly a bully he's actually a teenager and got left several times and is in the 4th grade when there's no episode focusing on him he's just a background character unless there's a scene with him.

For a little bit of context, this show came out in 1996.

When I was in school, a student could only be suspended up to a week. A suspension of a week could be appealed to the city Board of Education. If the Board heard the appeal during the week, and ruled in favor of the student, then the suspension would be overturned and any days already missed would be counted as excused absences. If the Board heard the appeal after the suspension was over, and ruled in favor of the student, then the week the student was gone would be counted as a week of excused absences. 9.9 times out of 10, the Board would rule in favor of the Principal though.

Hurray! I'm so glad you're doing Hey Arnold! There are a lot of school related episodes to be watched in this series. I look very very much forward to seeing you react to more of Hey Arnold! Here is a list of episodes for you to consider: Tutoring Torvald (S1 E7a) Spelling Bee (S1 E14a) False Alarm (S1 E19a) New Teacher (S2 E1b) The Big Scoop (S2 E3a) Ms. Perfect (S2 E6b) Hookey (S2 E7b) Best Friends (S2 E10b) Crush on Teacher (S2 E14b) Hall Monitor (S2 E15a) Teacher's Strike (S2 E18b) Curly Snaps (S3 E6a) Sid's Revenge (S3 E8a) The Aptitude Test (S3 E9a) The Flood (S3 E15b) School Dance (S3 E19b) School Play (S3 E20 (full length episode)) Full Moon (S4 E1a) Student Teacher (S4 E1b) Oskar Can't Read (S4 E4b) Note: this isn't a school specific episode BUT it does feature Arnold teaching a man in the boarding house he lives in how to read. Phoebe Skips (S4 E5b) Back to School (S4 E8a) Egg Story (S4 E8b) Helga on the Couch (S4 E16 (full length episode)) Note: also not school specific but does include scenes from school and one of the lead characters attending therapy after a sit in councilor comes in to observe the class Principal Simmons (S5 E2b) Eugene, Eugene (S5 E19b) A Day in the Life of a Classroom (S5 E21a) I just kind of skimmed over an episode list to get these, I may have missed a couple. In addition, there are many more episodes than these that feature scenes happening at school, but aren't necessarily school centric or related to school itself. This is a really fun show and I can't wait for more! I'm almost even tempted just to suggest you watch the whole thing, as then you REALLY get to know these very interesting and unique characters and what makes them tick, and not just the school characters, but all of the others outside of school as well. This is just an all around amazing show, it really is! Anyway, thanks for the reaction and as usual it was great to hear your commentary for it! Until next time, cheers!

Man, I'm old enough to remember getting E's, and I'm only 29.

Yeah Principal Wartz was always kind of ridiculous in the way he handled a lot of situations. But then later on you kind of get to realize that it's a very hard job and it just kind of got to him.

There is an interesting episode called "Curly snaps" which is about one of the main side characters Curly and it is one of the more remembered episodes of the show. I would love to see your take on the episode.

Minora visible at 12:01 and 13:05.

Family guy episode where peter become prisipal

The problem was that Harold didn't prepare for his vacation.

I missed this show

I can see why getting a D in school was different than from getting ABC in an F. I could definitely see why that it was different back then but the point you made was pretty awesome. I’ve gotten amazing and I was in school most of the time, but you know I wasn’t really that smart lol but the point you made was pretty cool. 👍

This show that Mr. Wartz is a strict principal

Oh if you're doing a principal tier list, you have to include Takanaka from Yu Yu Hakusho

If you did a principal tier list, would it be its own video or a Short for each new principal?

Would have been more realistic if all that was on TV were old reruns or daytime talk shows that wouldn’t hold a kids attention. Kids would be at school, it’s after school hours when new episodes for kid’s entertainment get released. But it’s certainly more entertaining. Keep it up. I like your insights.

Definitely do Back To School that’s a good one

Kind of eerie how you sound like Principal Wartz.

Since you’re doing Hey Arnold episodes here’s some episode suggestions if you’re interested. "Hookey": Arnold and Gerald skip school, but their day is ruined by their fear of being found out. "Phoebe Cheats": In this variation of "The Tell-Tale Heart", Phoebe plagiarizes from a poetry book and uses one of the poems as her entry in a poetry contest. She wins, with her prize being a trophy resembling poet Emily Dickinson. Then, the trophy haunts Phoebe into confessing. "Crush on Teacher": Arnold becomes infatuated with Miss Felter, a substitute teacher, thinking she returns the feelings and that they are having dinner at her house. He later realizes that the one she invited was her fiancé, whose name is also Arnold. "Hall Monitor": Phoebe becomes hall monitor and asks Helga for tips. She becomes overwhelmed by the "power" and soon everyone wants the old Phoebe back - even Helga, once she realizes Phoebe's also giving her detentions. "Harold the Butcher": As punishment for shoplifting a ham, Harold is forced to work for Mr. Green at his butcher shop for a week. At first all he does is mess up and annoy Green. Later, after his work shift to pay for it is over, he soon learns that he actually likes his new after-school job and does not want to stop working there, much to the dismay of Mr. Green (at least at first). It is not until Mr. Green's annual big sale that the butcher realizes Harold's help is needed and appreciated. "The Aptitude Test": Helga thinks she's dim because she failed an aptitude test at school, only to discover she received Harold's test score, and vice versa. "Career Day": Arnold gets paired with the grouchy Jolly Olly Man as part of Career Day, while Helga gets paired with a police officer, Gerald with a fire-fighter and Phoebe with Ernie at the demolition site. The other kids think it is the best job, as he gets to be around ice cream all day. Arnold helps the Jolly Olly man be nicer to his customers and please his boss, who happens to be his dad- whose just as grumpy. "Student Teacher": Helga's sister Olga comes home for spring break and becomes a classroom aide in Helga's class, much to Helga's dismay. "Phoebe Skips": Phoebe is promoted to the sixth grade, but ignores Helga when she tells Phoebe that her new so-called "friends" are just using her to do their homework. She learns the hard way when a younger girl is also moved up to 6th grade, and her "friends" ditch Phoebe for the new girl. Phoebe runs crying to Helga, who welcomes Phoebe back and plots to get back at the older girls. "Back to School": After Grandpa tells Arnold that he never got his grade school diploma, Arnold convinces him to come to go back to school at P.S. 118. "Egg Story": Arnold and Helga must care for an egg for a school project about parenting. Meanwhile, Rhonda and Harold are project partners and must also take care of an egg

You should also review the episode Principal Simmons. It was a good one.

I never got suspended in school. However I found that often times the punishments were a bit harsh. I always though a week for swearing seemed very excessive. As someone who swears a lot (even when I was in school) I just learned to be careful not to do it around staff (and of course never in a way that could be considered bullying) Also 5 weeks suspension? That’s basically impossible to catch up on

Weren't Harold's parents supposed to be notified about his suspension?

Please do The Amazing World of Gumball! It is absolutely brilliant. Also a great one to watch for the public school perspective.

Why dont D's exist in schools anymore?

Yo, Wartz! What's with the 100 yards thing? Harold is suspended, but he doesn't have a restraining order (although maybe Wolfgang should have one). By the way, do you always carry the school constitution inside your jacket? Did you anticipate a conversation with the students where that would come in handy?

I would be hate to be suspended. As much I might have complained about going to school suspension would be horrible. I was not the best student Academically but I didn’t cause trouble usually so I had good relationship with most teachers and faculty regardless of what grade it had with them. If I got suspended that would definitely hurt those relationships, I would be more behind on school work than ever before and my parents would be upset with me for doing something I got suspended for

Please do a review of the hey Arnold episodes “Full moon” and “Student Teacher”, the Good luck Charlie episode “Teddy’s bear”, the Drake & Josh episode “Mean Teacher” and the Family Ties episode “Read it and weep” parts 1 & 2. The requested Hey Arnold episodes and Family Ties episode center around the compelling topics.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Wolfgang spraying Warts outside the school at the end with the fire extinguisher qualify as assault at that point?

If you need more episodes to react to, may I please suggest? The Simpsons - Separate Vocations Bluey - Army Isadora Moon - Sponge and Sprinkles Bea’s Block - the Teacher’s Appreciation Day episode Tiny Toon Adventures - the self control episode Family Guy - Prick Up Your Ears The Loud House - Stage Plight Leo (Netflix movie) Thank you

Do a principal tier list

You should do the principal from as told by Ginger

The Next episode you should react to is Teacher's Strike.

Where I live I’ve actually heard of very lengthy, suspensions although I don’t think it’s practical considering with some of the length of time I’ve heard you’re better off being expelled OK not really, but you get the point

Another okay episode of hey Arnold is false alarm
