Weird Cousin
Arnold's cousin Arnie comes to visit, and everybody thinks he's strange - except Lila, who falls in love with him

Written by Michelle Lamoreaux and Steve Viksten
Storyboard Direction by Chris Robertson
Animation Direction by Christine Kolosov
Storyboard Artists: Aldin Baroza, Miyuki Hoshikawa

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Helga - Francesca Smith
Lila - Ashley Buccille

Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta
Oskar - Stephen Viksten
Suzie - Mary Scheer
Ernie - Dom Irrera
Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman

  • They never do say just how Arnold and Arnie are related (although since Grandpa has a sister, they could be second cousins)
  • Arnie says his hobby is counting things, yet he is never seen counting anything
  • When Helga is looking at her pendant, one of the clouds in the background looks suspiciously football-head-shaped
  • The Sunset Arms house rules: no children; no smoking; no long showers; no loud noises after 9 PM
  • Is Arnie that much weirder than, say, Sheena or Brainy?
  • Rhonda's shoes switch from "high-tops" to "low-tops"
  • At Evil Twin II, the Jolly Olly Ice Cream Man is sitting next to Mrs. Vitello - and who's that sitting next to Sheena?

Baby Oskar
Suzie's cousin leaves her baby with her and Oskar, who doesn't like being second in Suzie's life
Written by Steve Viksten
Storyboard Direction by Chris Headrick and Tuck Tucker
Animation Direction by Frank Weiss
Storyboard Artist: Ted Seko

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Oskar, Caesar (cab driver) (uncredited) - Stephen Viksten
Suzie - Mary Scheer
Nancy, baby Oskar, woman waiting for taxi - Kath Soucie
Vic and Morrie - John Mariano
Doctor - John Rubano
Oskar, Caesar (cab driver) (uncredited) - Stephen Viksten

That is not a mistake (on my part, anyway) - Stephen Viksten was credited twice as Oskar

  • Doesn't Oskar still have his paper delivery job?  ("Yeah, just like Rhonda still has her glasses...")
  • What, was Grandma too busy to take care of the baby while Suzie was gone?
  • Oskar's reading is improving; he read the hospital sign just fine, and the Racing Form didn't seem to give him any problems
  • The horses in the fifth race were Phar Lapper, Alpha Chow, Little Sloth, Wholy Cow, Diaper Dude, and Fast T(something), but Oskar said "Cat Chow" twice (by the way, Phar Lapper is named after Phar Lap, probably Australia's greatest race horse)
