Been watching it again and it's just the chillest show ever.
The jazz track is obviously a big part of it, but the writing is what makes it shine. Hits you in the feels.
In one episode Arnold goes on a field trip to the zoo to see some supposed big bad turtle that the other kids in his class say can kill a squid. They get there and see the turtle, which is actually just some sad old thing. It has graffiti on it's shell, and all of Arnold's classmates start making fun of it and laughing at it. One of them throws a slushie on his shell, and the turtle just retreats into the water.
Arnold goes down to the tank part to see the turtle and says "Hey man" and touches it's flipper through the glass. Nothing else is said.
Arnold goes home, unable to stop thinking about this turtle. He tells his grandma about it and she decides to go rescue the turtle, but she's obviously fucking insane. "Grandma do you have a driver's license?" *cackles*
They break into the zoo at night to rescue the turtle. The night watch is feeding cookies to a penguin who is throwing up cookies and making jokes about it tossing its cookies.
When they go to release the turtle, they throw it off the dock to the ocean. The area around the dock is shallow and full of garbage. For a minute the turtle just sits there in the filth, looking sad. They give it motivation and it swims off, but not before looking back at it's one and only friend in the world, Arnold.
Before the credits roll, Arnold's grandma says she's in the mood for turtle soup, and Arnold returns to his depressed face. Literally nobody else around him gives an actual fuck about this turtle. His grandma was manic and only wanted to save the turtle once Arnold said it was old, because obviously she's old. That's the only part she seemed to sympathize with.
I mean damn it's got so much more feels than the wacky wild style shows have now. Arnold was such a chill dude. Just look at how they were able to cover topics like war:

He was a rapey beef head who sexually harassed women and got turned down on a regular basis. Almost nobody liked him except for his mom and that little neighbor girl.
Arnold on the other hand is a cool ass chill kid who everyone loves. He is an empathetic and caring little dude in a city that doesn't give a fuck. In the stoop kid episode he reached out to a neighborhood bully who everyone was afraid of, and helped him overcome his fear of leaving the stoop.

Watching Hey Arnold and working out is better than drinking whiskey all day. It's also genuinely funny. I can't watch some other stuff I used to watch, like Dragonball Z for instance. But Hey Arnold is great.

Actually guy in real lyfe that was like johnny bravo would probably get laid a lot, because sure he's dumb but he's funny/cute/charming. And he's not rapey at all. he just thinks he's mister cool.

No he's not lol. Gym rat who uses pickup lines that start with "hey pretty mama"? LOL.
Meanwhile Arnold grew up to be a loving, caring, and devoted boyfriend. He gets laid twice daily just being a cool dude. Women line up to fuck him, but he turns them all down with grace and thankfulness. Every woman who comes on to him leaves emotionally satisfied.

Back in the days when I was a kid and watched the episode whereas "Torvald" is sent on a cruise for obese degenerates. Asked my mom if I too was a fat piece of shit. She said yes. Feelsbadman.jpg.
Thats how I became a human-fuck-toilet and ended up on this site, filled with homos and sand-niggers. Thanks for the trigger warning, asshole. Chairs!
