False Alarm
Somebody pulled the fire alarm, and all of the evidence points to Eugene, but Arnold is the sole person on a "kid
jury" that thinks there's another explanation

Storyboard Artist: Chris Robertson
Cast:
Arnold - Toran Caudell
Gerald - Jamil W. Smith
Helga - Francesca Marie Smith
Phoebe - Anndi L. McAfee
Curly - Adam Wylie
Eugene - Jarrett Lennon (credited as "Jarret")
Harold - Justin Shenkarow
Sid - Sam Gifaldi
Stinky - Christopher P. Walberg
Principal Wartz - David Wohl
- Eugene's last name (Horowitz) is mentioned; also, the credits indicate that the
"judge" is Principal Wartz (who becomes a frequent character in future episodes)
- There's a Yahoo Cola machine in the cafeteria, which is not to be confused with
the chocolate drink "Yoo-Hoo"; The Angry Beavers have a Yahoo clock in their home
- If Helga has tickets to see Haystack Calhoun wrestle, they must be old; wrestler
"Haystack" (also known as "Haystacks") Calhoun died in 1989
- More evidence in Eugene's favor: if he wasn't wearing his glasses, how did he
see where the broom closet was?
- In Gerald's version of the story, Eugene isn't wearing socks; in Phoebe's, one
of his sandals is still in the hallway - but in reality, Eugene is wearing socks and has both of his sandals
in the closet
- When Helga pulls Harold's vote out of the hat, there are four slips remaining
in the hat, but only Arnold's vote is remaining
- Bad Hair Day: Nadine's hair is brown throughout this episode (or at least it
looks brown; during the trial, she's sitting in a shadow, but it's also darker than usual when she runs out of
the school during the "fire")
- When Ruth is first shown (when the trial begins), she's wearing a red top and
a blue skirt, but suddenly she's wearing her usual clothes again

World Records
The kids will try anything - anything -
to get into the book of world records

Storyboard Direction by Kelly James
Animation Direction by George S. Chialtas
Storyboard Artist: Stark Howell
Cast:
Arnold - Toran Caudell
Gerald - Jamil W. Smith
Helga - Francesca Marie Smith

Brainy - Craig Bartlett
Eugene - Jarrett Lennon (credited as "Jarret")
Harold - Justin Shenkarow
Sid - Sam Gifaldi
Stinky - Christopher P. Walberg
Oskar - Steven Viksten
- The 1997 Guinness Book of Records (which is what the USA paperback edition of the Guinness
Book of World Records is called, probably because it contains quite a
few "American" records as well, although the 1998 version has "World" back in the title; note
the book in the story is called just "Book of World Records") lists the following records:
- Bubble gum blowing - 23 inches (in California, not Saskatchewan)
- Pogo stick jumping - 177,737 times
- Bouncing a ball on the head - 7 hours 17 minutes 5 seconds
- And somebody really did walk backwards from Santa Monica, California, to Istanbul,
Turkey - but how did she cross the ocean?
- According to Arnold's book, "Frannie Caudell" set the backward walking
record - you know, if "Frannie" (Francesca Marie) Smith (the voice of Helga) were to marry Toran
Caudell (the voice of Arnold) and take his last name...now, now,
that's how rumors get started
- Arnold says that setting a world record puts you in the book "forever";
tell that to the person whose record was just broken!
- Don't try the "most kids on one bike" thing (it's not only unsafe,
but it's illegal to have even two people on a "single-seat" bike)
- Whose bright idea was it to try to build a human pyramid and not put the heaviest
people at the bottom?
- Let's hope Joey, Mrs. Vitello, and Rhonda remembered to wash their feet before
stomping the tomatoes
- When Sid and Iggy are pulling the dough, they're not wearing their pants, presumably
so they don't get any dirt on the dough; however, Sheena is still wearing hers
- If Phoebe's an expert at Italian sauces, the least she could do is to call the
"pizza puff" a "calzone"
