Mugged

Arnold has his bus pass taken from him by a mugger, so Grandma trains him in the martial arts, but "black belt Arnold" forgets the first rule of self-defense: you learn it so you don't have to use it Written by Craig Bartlett Storyboard Direction by Tuck Tucker Animation Direction by Jamie Mitchell Storyboard Artist: Derek Drymon Cast: Arnold - Toran Caudell Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Brainy - Craig Bartlett Eugene - Christopher J. Castile Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta Grandma - Tress MacNeille Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman Thug, one of the teenagers - Frank Martorana Two of the teenagers - Danny Strong Uncredited: Billy, man scared off by Arnold, Caesar (bald man who yells at Arnold after he scares the other man off)     * Arnold's bus pass says "NAME: ARNOLD", "BORN: YES" (Helga might say that "this proves that Arnold was born and not made")     * Arnold's mugger has yellow eyes     * For that matter, "black belt" Arnold never wears shoes (well, he wears sandals in that "you talkin' to me?" scene), but Arnold manages to walk the streets quite well without them     * Arnold's legs are too short for him to kick a can off of Harold's head while keeping one foot on the ground     * The bus stops in front of the boarding house, but there's no bus stop there     * Somebody Call The Animators: at the end of the first training scene (when Arnold first tries to catch the fly), one of Arnold's feet has no toes; also, just before Arnold falls down the chimney, he has three arms     * The "Caesar" character looks different from his other appearances; his one eyebrow is missing     * Hatless Alert: Once Arnold finishes his training, he doesn't wear his hat at all

Roughin' it

Grandpa takes Arnold and Gerald camping, and the survival skills he teaches the kids gets put to the test when Helga's father takes Arnold, Gerald, Phoebe, and Helga hiking (egged on by Helga, who wants to get Arnold alone so she can confess her love for him), only to get them lost when his electronic hiking equipment goes haywire Written by Jonathan Greenberg Storyboard Direction by Sherm Cohen Animation Direction by Alan Smart Storyboard Artist: Frank Nissen Cast: Arnold - Toran Caudell Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Helga - Francesca Marie Smith Phoebe - Anndi L. McAfee Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta Big Bob Pataki - Maurice LaMarche     * Helga was alone with Arnold at the end of "Arnold's Hat", yet she wasn't about to tell him how she felt about him then (not to mention the end of "Magic Show", when she was ready to but just couldn't do it); why should now be any different, especially since she wasn't about to get back to camp without being with Phoebe and Gerald     * Grandpa's car's license plate is "HEAP", but in "The Vacant Lot", it's "RETIRED"     * Big Bob isn't the first father to call one of his children (Helga) by another's name (Helga's older sister Olga)     * Arnold eats his breakfast with forks in both hands     * Since when does "Big Bob the Beeper King" sell electronic camping equipment?     * Oops: the Animation Director credit for this story says "Cool Jerk - Alan Smart"; the strange thing is, in "Cool Jerk", Larry Leichliter is listed as the Animation Director
