Ойын-сауық

In the last episode of The Dark Side of Hey Arnold, we did a deep dive in the mind and psyche of Harold Berman. Before that was Helga Pitaki. Today, we cover Eugene Horowitz. If you missed any of the past videos in this series, here's a playlist with all episodes:

    Sid and Stinky, especially Sid, are one of the slickest antagonists in the series. They always find a way to mess things up, antagonize someone, or just conspire to bring someone or something down. Unlike Helga or Harold, who are openly aggressive and clear of their motives, those two tend to prefer flying under the radar as friends or helpers while doing their thing, lolz.

    When it comes to Sid and stinky, they literally are the definition of jinx right there. I mean in all the episodes I’ve watched. Hey Arnold, these guys are the most judgmental ignorant selfish blindsided characters I’ve ever seen. The reason I say blind is because in all the times, Eugene has issues is due to the fact that these two literally are the cause of why Eugene gets hurt. Without even realizing it in most episodes like the other classmates who don’t realize their own mistakes. These two never pay attention to what the hell has happened. They just Judge and don’t even realize they are the cause to why he has a problem like the rest of their classmates. The only one that acknowledges being at fault is Arnold which is understandable, considering there have been times Eugene had been mostly in trouble due to Arnold. Back when I was a teenager and now currently as an adult I look at these characters like you two are the most ignorant can’t seem to realize you’re responsible for Eugene’s problems, acknowledge wake up

    That episode really bugs me, as much as many other episodes in the last season when they started to run out of ideas. First of all, the entire episode is basically a copy of that episode where Arnold and Eugene get stuck on a roller coaster. There were several rehash episodes that season. 2nd, the characters always do something stupid just to keep the plot going. Like, why would Arnold need to climb the tree to let Eugene off it? He brought the ladder right, what else is there to it? Same thing with Harold when he shows up. Just put the ladder against the tree, and stay at the bottom holding the ladder while the other guy gets down. You don't need a PhD to do that.

    Curly is really just a hyper kid. They're smart af, they overthink things to a fault, they're willing to help other people- but they expect people to repay them for the kindness, and life doesn't ever really go that way; so naturally they can dive off the deep end real quick. But with a little therapy and some years just living on the outside, they mellow out. As a kid everything's life or death, and you're just stuck with people you don't like, or in environments that you can't really grow, but as an adult you really just get fed up with caring about it all, and then you can go places to grow. Curly is the extreme case, of course, but he's just an actual hyperactive kid, in a show where pretty much all his classmates are saints and have redeeming qualities that are on full display daily.

    I think that the problems you had with "False Alarm" comes from the fact that it's a parody of a movie. The movie, "12 Angry Men," is about a jury deliberation in a murder case. Only one of the twelve jurors thinks he's innocent and the movie follows his attempts to convince the other jurors that there's reasonable doubt. So the whole trial aspect and the fact that only Arnold believed Eugene was innocent was probably just the writers following the beats of the movie they were parodying.

    Here are a few things I picked up on that weren't mentioned in this video: 1.) How miserable Eugene's mother looked in the background of Eugene's Birthday party. I think this might have something to do with the highly expensive medical bills she always has to deal with with a son like Eugene. 2.) Arnold seemed to be more interested in helping Eugene for his OWN benefit instead of Eugenes'. After every "failed birthday" Eugene was genuinely happy with the outcome but Arnold had to keep pushing for that "perfect" birthday. It obviously wasn't for Eugene, Arnold selfishly wanted to prove to himself that he could break Eugene's spell and throw the perfect bday party without mistakes. 3.) That CREEPY theater play director that only seemed to choose Lila for the part of Betty because she resembled his past love interest..that rubbed me the wrong way. Also the fact that his love interest magically showed up at the end wanting to be with him after so many years. I get it's supposed to be wholesome but this is an instance in where I feel the guy didn't deserve to "get the girl" in the end. After the break-up he became a massive a-hole and even called her a bunch of nasty names while staring at her picture. That ending (for him) was undeserving in my opinion. Also....Curly gives me the heebie-jeebies 😂😂😂 I can't wait for an episode on him...he has serious issues. Also, I think Eugene's curse is totally shared with Arnold.

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who immediately got creepy vibes from the theater director... I see what you're saying about Arnold going out of his way to do things for Eugene more for his own benefit. And it certainly does seem that way sometimes. But then again, seeing unfortunate things happen really seems to trouble Arnold, and probably has him thinking "these accidents are ruining everything" and perhaps he truly feels like he's not a good friend to Eugene, and that the only way to fix it is to try something better and of higher quality. I don't know if anyone has done a deep dive into Arnold's character yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if Arnold suffered from severe anxiety.

    I would reject the premise Arnold is doing it out of pride, because if he was, he would get _ANGRY_ not sad each time. Being sad would be because of _Eugene_ not himself, as pride leads to denial, not sadness. He got angry only when Eugene made it out that HE was the jinx, and even then, he apologized to Eugene, so it was more of a mixed bag.

    Eugene has a trait that not many have. Some may call it toxic positivity but for him it's actually genuine. Not many have it so that's why others get annoyed when he's like "it'll be okay" or doesn't take things to seriously. My theory is that he is a jinx and he's been one since he's been born so nothing phases him. Any dangerous situation he's been in multiple times already so he can remain calm. He's not someone you can trust to accomplish things that require attention to detain (like a doctor) since he is very clumsy and unwillingly messes things up. But in whatever situation he's perfect to work under pressure because he feels no pressure, anything that can happen to him, has happened to him.

As someone who had a severe panic disorder when I was in elementary school...I didnt understand what was happening to me and I wondered why I was the only kid who couldn't get through a school day without having a panic attack. It was really scary. So I feel shows such as hey Arnold can help kids identify difficult issues they may go through and help them learn that they arnt alone.

    The Pigeon Man episode literally gave me chills as a kid. There are so many deep and dark episodes in Hey Arnold. I'm glad it's finally getting the recognition it deserves years later.

    Eugene is THE perfect example of how people need to look at life. Most people get angry, upset, bitter or annoyed at the whole day just from one little misfortune happening. I always liked eugenes character just because he always finds some way to make the best of THE WORSE DAY and always tries to look at the upside even when there doesnt seem to be any ✨👏✨

    Really gross how a grown adult is putting his own feelings onto a bunch of children, having a creepy obsession on his ex (I get why she left him), ruining a well-known play, insulting a child, being a spiteful cynical jerk, and putting his own obsession onto a child (like when Lila was auditioning) and hurting a child (Eugene looked like he was really hurt when he got hit). The director shouldn’t have gotten a happy ending

    Well...I mean his constant bad luck regardless if he has a hand in it or not means he's definitely a jinx. That's the definition. But his resilience is kind of the only option he has given his bad luck. Kids are resilient, and I think he's a reminder of how we can try to find the best in bad situations. A good lesson for all of us.

    Eugene was always one of my favorite characters growing up because of his positive outlook on life in spite of the universe seeming to have it out for him (deliberately or not). That positive attitude has stuck with me even to this day, especially given how the world feels these days. It also took me until watching this video to realize that the episode False Alarm is big homage to the court play/movie Twelve Angry Men.

    This is a good episode and I'm excited for more, for sure! Eugene is definitely a mood for me somedays; sometimes you just have to stay positive when bad things happen. Bad luck is fleeting, thankfully. I know you have Geral planned, but I also hope you have Sid in mind for an episode! There were a few good ones with him (I always will remember his attempts to woo Lorenzo by using Arnold's room for their school project) I noticed from a lot of these episodes that traffic in the city they live in seems to be pretty light. Makes me think Arnold lives in an older part of town, judging by the building designs.

    I would actually counter that first episode where you gave his jinx a little credit by saying you couldn't explain the bike coming to hit him while he was walking down the road. If you actually pay attention, he's not walking on the sidewalk, he's literally walking right down the middle of the road in a cast and a crutch. That one's totally excusable because he was pretty much asking for trouble anyways.
