  6. Oh, my God, THANK YOU so much for adding Bob and Miriam Pataki in this video; that made me SO happy! Hey Arnold! has always been one of my favorite cartoons, partially for its portrayal of realism, and the dysfunction of the Pataki is definitely part of that realism. Big Bob is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, assholes in the history of cartoon parents. It’s not just because he shows nothing but praise and love for Olga while completely ignoring and forgetting about Helga, but he’s just an ass to pretty much everyone else, especially Arnold and his family. He went too far with his competitive nature when he called Arnold an orphan at the tournament, just because he didn’t want to lose to a boy who had his grandparents with him rather than his real parents. How wrong was Bob about Arnold, because now we have The Jungle Movie, and Miles and Stella are alive and well! I would kill to have a sixth season of the show, especially with a new Parents Day episode, because I want to see just how much more of a jackass Bob could be to Arnold, even with the latter’s parents present! There’s no doubt in my mind that Miles and Stella would not get along with Bob, and probably not even with Miriam and Olga, too. But Helga? They would definitely welcome her and treat her like the daughter they never had, and I think Helga would definitely become close with Miles and Stella…especially because she would be dating Arnold. 🙂

  7. I always noticed Helga”s parents were neglectful even as a child and made me appreciate my parents more.

  8. What about Dora’s parents. They allow their kid to go on adventures by herself with a goddamn monkey. she also dosent go to school
