Y'know what the interesting part is? ....If you really think about how Helga sees Arnold, where she hates him when he's around, but is secretly in love with him from afar. That makes her one of the earliest examples of a Tsundere.
No, it is so well known of a fact (that it's even a bit in Lucky Star and Ganshiken), that tsun tsun + dere dere refers to transformation arc from uppity to down for it. Helga doesn't have that arc. You're basically saying that Godzilla was one of the earliest examples of Frankensteins. Taking the modern mistake of MISUSE of the word itself, and even in the confines of that mistake not getting it quite right. Because Frankenstein doesn't MEAN a monster, even if you mistake the Frankenstain's Monster as "Frankenstein".
@@sboinkthelegday3892Lucky Star came out a whole eleven years after Hey Arnold. Not that the prior comment made much sense either but yours was practically just as nonsensical. For instance, Evangelion, a show which boasts possibly the most recognizable tsundere in pop culture came out in 1995. Asuka Langley is without a doubt the character that popularized the trope.
Arnold's chill, somewhat melancholy vibes felt so unique for a kid's show. its hard for me to think of another show I watched growing up that felt the way it did.
I remember when the series left on a cliffhanger and how disappointed I was that we never got to see him reunite with his parents. Then Nickelodeon actually let the creator return and make a movie that gave it the ending I always wanted. I legit shed a tear because a part of my childhood got closure.
The best moments of the show: Helga on the Couch, the Christmas episode, Arnold's parents backstory episode, and the parrot episode (you'll know why when you get to it). Hey Arnold was great because it was a simple show of kids just being kids. The stakes weren't that high, yet the show had heart and emotion. You felt like these kids were the kind you wanted to hang out with back in the day.
I know, especially when Arnold had 5 voice actors throughout the series. I do like the first 2 voices for Arnold because they both sound soothing and chill. I do have to get used to the 3rd VA for Arnold in the later seasons because he does sound deep spoken and hard to hear but eventually I will get there.
I think the Jimmy Neutron series was directly influenced by Hey Arnold for its dynamic between Jimmy & Cindy: *1)* Aggressive, often temperamental blonde hides her secret crush on the protagonist behind a facade of animosity. *2)* Protagonist has a distinct, oddly shaped head. *3)* Protagonist lives in a neighborhood full of colorful, often eccentric characters. *4)* Protagonist is uncommonly smart & mature for his age, but still a kid who makes mistakes and learns morals. *5)* The blonde's secret crush is almost discovered several times before she finally admits it face-to-face. Yes, I'm well aware that most-all of those tropes were probably done before Hey Arnold, but it is an interesting coincidence if The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius' creators weren't at least a little inspired by Arnold and Helga.
God, I love this show. I feel indebted to my mother for recommending me this masterpiece. Helga’s crush on Arnold still makes me laugh because of how over the top it was. 😂
A weird thing about that canceled series is how it was going to be about Helga as a high schooler and she got exactly what she’s been asking for from Hey Arnold, her parent’s attention. What’s even sadder is that her older sister Olga went from the perfect A+ school girl with limitless opportunities to a ruined and home dependent adult who can’t find work, she literally became her mother without the alcoholism.
This show was and still is amazing. The songs, the stories, the fact that they have several dangerous characters (stalkers in Helga and Brainy as well someone in need of therapy in both Mr. Jolly Olly Man and Curly). Just fun all around
A lot of people love comparing Arnold with SpongeBob (alongside Phineas and Molly McGee, for more modern examples) in the sense that they are incredibly kind-hearted beings, so you know you’ve f*cked up if you piss them off. I see Arnold as one of the earliest examples of an animated character who tries so damn hard to keep composure and tries so hard to not go over the edge.
0:47 as a kid I always thought Hey Arnold took place in 'New York' but apparently the city is more based off of cities in Washington? There were other places that influenced 'Hillwood' but I can not remember them.
Darn they cut the best part of the Stoop Kid episode here. Hey Arnold is a good show. Art style changes aside and replacement kid actors, this show really defined the 90s for me.
I’m pretty sure they watched more episodes because I saw a clip on twitch of them reacting to a wild scene from the show and it wasn’t in the first video.
16:34 plot Twist... Stoop kid is the little brother of a drug dealer and isn't allowed to leave his post keeping an eye out. Moments after Stoop kid chased herald... a rival gang showed up and without Stoop kid to warn them... his brother and everyone else died in a drive by
its super weird watch hey arnold in english. In the latin dub Helga has something i would describe as the most deep and unique voice for a girly-girl character in any cartoon, i have her lines burned right in my brains but in the original she's just generic child voice #4 and its really strange for me xd arnold has a deep voice in latino as well , but sound more like a normal teenager, so its not so weird like helga's case
I wouldn’t really call Helga a girly girl character and in English her voice comes in her own a bit later in the series. Also most of the kids in Hey Arnold are supposed to be like 9-10 years old not teenagers.
I'm gonna add context to this, one of the creators of Phineas and Ferb, Dan Povenmire, worked on this series, which might've give him the inspiration from the characters designs from the show to create his own (like Isabella for example)
🤓Actually... it is supposed to be the Seattle area, it isn't New York City. Which is weird because the zoos and aquarium are really top tier rated animals sanctuaries.
Say what you will about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, but just rewatching these episodes makes me realize that they did a bit of a disservice to Helga’s power. She’s mid to bottom tier in almost every tier list I’ve seen 😂
Y'know what the interesting part is? ....If you really think about how Helga sees Arnold, where she hates him when he's around, but is secretly in love with him from afar. That makes her one of the earliest examples of a Tsundere.
Tsundere on the outside, yandere on the inside

Hey Arnold and Recess are the only cartoons that truly captured that 90s elementary school experience
All hail King Bob and Ashley A and Ashley S are the best Ashleys.
The best moments of the show: Helga on the Couch, the Christmas episode, Arnold's parents backstory episode, and the parrot episode (you'll know why when you get to it). Hey Arnold was great because it was a simple show of kids just being kids. The stakes weren't that high, yet the show had heart and emotion. You felt like these kids were the kind you wanted to hang out with back in the day.
The phrase "You make my girlhood tremble" still makes me chuckle years later.
There are two episodes about Arnold's folks back story. The parents day episode and the Journal episode.
I love the voice acting in this show. It's very comfortable
I know, especially when Arnold had 5 voice actors throughout the series. I do like the first 2 voices for Arnold because they both sound soothing and chill.

Apparently Eugene’s birthday is Friday the 13th the guy is literally born to be unlucky.

Hey Arnold was my fav show growing up. Thanks spilling the milk!
Same
This show was educational, just watch Helga's backstory and family interactions... and learn the meaning of pain.
I love this channel so much. You guys make me laugh all the time
Thanks for enjoying
@@SpillingTheMilkI also do but I'm a minor
@@SpillingTheMilk Thanks for the reply 💜
I'm so happy you guys check up this show... I haven't seen it as a child but much later. Is wild how good it is for and from the late 90s
I love Hey Arnold! and I'm really happy that you guys reacted to it. You should definitely watch more!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work Spilling the Milk puts inside us?
Ayo
Don't you mean how much milk they put inside us?
what
uhh, rephrase your sentence what?
aight
I love Helga. Shes a psycho but shes so entertaining 😭
Arnold would’ve definitely filed a restraining order against Helga if he ever found out the stalker s*it she did.
Ad he should🤣This shouldn't be allowed
God, I love this show. I feel indebted to my mother for recommending me this masterpiece. Helga’s crush on Arnold still makes me laugh because of how over the top it was. 😂
She was obsessed with him 😂
obsessed seems too tame 😂😭
I think yandere might be the right word.
$10 says Hinata does the same thing.
I gotta know
Did she like turn it on for you when you were young, or like literally recommend it when you got older
I still can't believe Nick made The Jungle Movie 15 years after the show ended. It was such a good way to finally end the show on a high note.
A weird thing about that canceled series is how it was going to be about Helga as a high schooler and she got exactly what she’s been asking for from Hey Arnold, her parent’s attention. What’s even sadder is that her older sister Olga went from the perfect A+ school girl with limitless opportunities to a ruined and home dependent adult who can’t find work, she literally became her mother without the alcoholism.
Please watch more of this show!! Loving it so much! Hey Arnold! Is a hidden gem from Nick that more people should know about today.
Hey Arnold actually takes place in a fictional city in Washington State, not New York State. It's technically a Mandela Effect.
> this is revealed implicetly in episode 54b, after 3 seasons of being implicetly implied
This show was and still is amazing. The songs, the stories, the fact that they have several dangerous characters (stalkers in Helga and Brainy as well someone in need of therapy in both Mr. Jolly Olly Man and Curly). Just fun all around

I like we all think it’s supposed to be New York but according to the creator it’s supposed to be Seattle!
Eugene is the most tragic fictional character out there.
@@WSendam yes
This is legitimately one of the greatest cartoons ever made in America.
Damn, theyre getting into my childhood shows now
Arnold and Gerald are the best kid show friendship
Sometimes these episodes can be so potent that it lasts us for a minute and we don't need it pumped in every day. Great content, great channel!
Reacting to Hey Arnold in 2023 is the equivalent of reacting to George Washington's war journal
Curly is crazy hilarious.Such a feel good show. Love and cheese,Helga on the couch and Baby Oskar were my fav episodes growing up. ☺👌🐖
Curly is crazy and hilarious 🤣I genuinely think he'll grow up and kill at least several people
The Arnold’s Christmas and Helga on the couch episodes live rent free in my head
Darn they cut the best part of the Stoop Kid episode here. Hey Arnold is a good show. Art style changes aside and replacement kid actors, this show really defined the 90s for me.
I hope you guys still plan on watching more Hey Arnold! It’s fun revisiting this classic ❤
The pigeon man ep hit close to home can't wait they reach this part
You know it's a boring day when some kid stepping outside becomes headline news 😂
Nicktoons was the pinnacle of “ahead of its time”.
What's time gotta do with the fact that 99% of networks publish trash that wouldn't fly even in the 1970's?
So happy to see someone reacting to this!
Helga is a yandere but with less murder.
That’s a Tsundere.
@@sebastiantrias1529 Really? Did you see the makeshift Arnold thing she had in her closet? But hey she could be a mix of both tsundere and yandere.
Gahhhh Stoop Kid is the best. He was the only one who put the fear into the gang's local bull harold. How he tricked him was soooo good.
I know this video didn’t get to 8000 likes but please keep reacting to Hey Arnold! This show is fantastic and you guys seem to really like it
Anybody else refusing to breathe until they watch Spectacular Spider-Man again?
please don't do that
I’m pretty sure they watched more episodes because I saw a clip on twitch of them reacting to a wild scene from the show and it wasn’t in the first video.
16:34 plot Twist... Stoop kid is the little brother of a drug dealer and isn't allowed to leave his post keeping an eye out.

I'm so sure Hey Arnold influenced me to be a Social Worker hahaha
I LOVE Hey Arnold! Super excited to see you all watch it

Eugene is the original Bad Luck Brian
the new editor is so good thank you guys
12:08 If was confirmed by the creator that his father made him that clock before his parents disappeared.
“Everybody had a helga in their school!!”
I was her.
😂😂😂😂
The turtle episode hit my little Ferngully loving heart so hard when I was a kid.
This show is based on the creators childhood and he said the city is a mostly Seattle where he grew up
The Stoop Kid episode is a fucking classic.
The city is actually set in the Seattle area since there is a later episode where they reenact the Pig War that happened there.
Funfact : Isabella from "Phineas & Ferb" wears the EXACT same dress as Helga...
Holy shit! I did not know that
Close but not exactly
I'm gonna add context to this, one of the creators of Phineas and Ferb, Dan Povenmire, worked on this series, which might've give him the inspiration from the characters designs from the show to create his own (like Isabella for example)
Now I want to see them to react to the two Hey Arnold Movies
Oh yes, especially the first movie with the weak animation style.
I forgot about how amazing this soundtrack is, thanks guys!
I really hope they continue to watch the show.
Helga should have said, "Kobe." as she pushed Stinky into the trash can.
I hope so bad that y'all continue this show is so good
You’ve convinced me to watch hey ARNOLD
This show was iconic
That was a cool, interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to see what you post next. See you next time.
This and rocket power was my two favorite 90s shows, Doug third, weekenders next, pepperann and recess are good to, and sevral other good ones
Now I'm an adult, looking back, Helga was 100% Tsundere towards Arnold.
More please it’s a great show!
Please continue this series
Nah this is my childhood right here
it's crazy because this show doesn't even take place in new york. it takes place in washington state.
Fictional characters most likely to become school shooters:
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Charlie Brown
Eugene
One the best 90s shows and probly my favorite
Please continue watching these😂
This was unexpected
the hey arnold movie is a masterpiece
Lol, Arnold the Repo man
YOOOOO I LOVE HEY ARNOLD AND THE THEME SONG GOES SO HARD glad you guys are watching it ‼️
spilling the milk is becoming my favourite channel very quickly
Somehow every time I watched this show it was immediately wiped from my memory
Hey Arnold is a hood classic also kinda messed up if you think about it
I hope they react to the Curly episodes
Hey Arnold and Spilling the Milk?
Sign me up!!!!
This is one of the funniest episodes ever
Nobody gonna note on how they left arnolds hair shorter on in side after helga cut it
Dude you guys need to watch more hey Arnold 😂
🤓Actually... it is supposed to be the Seattle area, it isn't New York City. Which is weird because the zoos and aquarium are really top tier rated animals sanctuaries.
I totally I think Hey Arnold! is hillarious sometimes lol.
Eugene is the Butters of this show
hey arnold has so many peak episodes
You guys need to watch the episode where Arnold's grandpa punches Hitler
GIVE US THE RACOON WITHOUT THE RA
Hilarious stuff my milk brothers 😂😂😂
@SpillingTheMilk you should see the 2016 and 2017 Bluey pilot
You gotta watch cat dog now, especially since you were vibing with the theme song, catdog had the best theme out of the cartoons of it's time
More Hey Arnold, pls.
Say what you will about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, but just rewatching these episodes makes me realize that they did a bit of a disservice to Helga’s power. She’s mid to bottom tier in almost every tier list I’ve seen 😂
Holy shit Kor is from Baltimore? Dude that's so cool. And honestly yeah the buses are just like that.
4:47 100% agreed
Helga is my favorite character.. i love it!
what kor said about Baltimore is so facts bro😭😭
i would love to see a reaction to the first Hey Arnold Movie down the line
Bro same
