    In what is perhaps the darkest pair of episodes in the show’s canon, we take a step away from wholesome, grounded slice-of-life storytelling in order to take a detour to see just how poisonous Arnold’s closest relationships can be.

    After discussing which characters would bend which elements in the Avatar universe, we look at what is perhaps the strongest holiday-focused episode in the show’s run, particularly due to it’s excellent and well-earned pairing of Arnold and Helga, along with an uncompromising portrayal of the ever-present conflict between expectations and reality surrounding the holidays.

    The show continues its stellar track record of portraying the universality of unrequited childhood crushes as Michael recalls his own trials and tribulations with like-liking girls and them not like-liking him back.

    We strap in for a wild ride through the Jolly Olly Man’s heart of darkness in addition to sharing our theories about how such a disgruntled purveyor of frozen treats came to be.

    Arnold’s kindness gets taken advantage of, while Helga fails to recognize the importance of accepting help. We see how their most defining traits can also be their potential undoing.

    50. COULDA, SHOULDA, WOODSPERSON-DA [S3,E9 - “Aptitude Test”/”Oskar Gets A Job”]

    The potential for gainful employment is in the air this week as we discuss how unrealistic and potentially harmful it is to use standardized testing as a means to tell 9 year-old children what the course of their future will be. Also, Oskar is still a deadbeat slacker. All this and more, including: reminiscing on our own childhood career aspirations, the Universal Studio Tour, the 1990s’ fascination with paperboys, and polka-dotted boxer shorts.
