Harold vs. Patty
Harold feels humiliated (mainly because he is humiliated by Sid
and Stinky) after losing to Patty in arm wrestling...twice
Story by Robert Lamoreaux
Written by Michelle Lamoreaux
Storyboard Direction by Tim Parsons
Animation Direction by Christine Kolosov
Storyboard Artists: Kelly James, Diane Kredensor, Caesar
Martinez
Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Harold - Justin Shenkarow
Stinky - Christopher Walberg
Sid - Sam Gifaldi
Patty - Danielle Judovitz (credited as "Danielle Judovits")
Brainy, Abner - Craig Bartlett
Announcer - Jim Ward
- Harold went to a "Sly
Stallion" (not to be confused with Sly (Sylvester) Stallone)
movie, and even drank a glass of raw eggs like Stallone did
in Rocky.
-
There are two Pattys in this story; Patty Smith, and Patty
Potato (who's on one of the signs in the cafeteria - "Toppy
Carrot and Patty Potato Drink Natural Spring Water").
-
Even people with proper
posture would find it very difficult to balance three
books on their heads, as the top book tends to slide off too
easily.
- Why weren't
Wolfgang and Ludwig there? You would think at least
one of them would be stronger than Harold, and they're both
younger than Harold, so there wouldn't be an age limit
problem.
- Why didn't
Harold simply point out to Stinky, "If I'm a girl for losing
to Patty in arm wrestling, what does that make you for
losing to me?" (Or, he could just ask Patty to
challenge Sid and Stinky, and then they could see how it
feels to be on the losing end.)
-
This episode must take place
before "Chocolate Boy", as Chocolate Boy is seen with
chocolate all over his face.

Rich
Guy
When Arnold stops a hockey
puck from hitting a rich man, the man treats Arnold as "the son
he never had", which doesn't do much for the son he does
have

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Grandpa, Robot - Dan Castellaneta
Sammy Redmond - Fred Willard
Alan - Miko Hughes
- The rich guy's name is
Sammy Redmond; Redmond, Washington is the headquarters of
Microsoft, founded by billionaire Bill Gates. (Someone
else thinks that the name is also a variation on Sumner
Redstone, CEO of Viacom (Nickelodeon's parent company.)
-
Arnold's virtual hockey helmet
was football-head shaped - are there a lot of people with
heads shaped like that?
-
At the baseball game, Tish
(Coach Wittenberg's wife) is sitting in the row behind
Arnold, but Coach is nowhere to be seen.
-
The last home run at the
baseball game was hit by "Mickey Kaline Jr.".
-
"What are those two towers
next to the Statue of Liberty in that photo in Alan's room?"
Needless to say, this episode was made before September 11,
2001 (and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody at Nickelodeon
would have had that picture redrawn had they known it was
still there).
