9 Reason Why Hey Arnold Was The Darkest Kids Show On Television

Absent parents to blatant alcoholism, Hey Arnold has it all.

1. Arnold’s an orphan due to the most bizarre circumstances.

Do people still get lost on random mission trips to the rain forest to cure indigenous people of unknown diseases? Yea, feel ashamed. Bastards.

2. Grandma has dementia and everyone seems to be okay with that.

Crazy Cat Lady costume for no apparent reason? Why that's just a Tuesday.What's even more disturbing about this is the fact that she makes dinner every night.

BUT she is ride or die. Especially when it comes to stealing turtles. Seriously though, should she be driving?

me too Arnold. me too.

3. Its pretty obvious Helga’s mother is a sever alcoholic but she’s still good for laughs.

Take it to the head Miriam!

A completion of Miriam's finest moments. You're welcome.

4. Basically Oskar was the first Stevie J.

He may not have saved Susie from Magic City but whatever it is Oskar’s broke, mooching, deadbeat ass knows how to keep a woman. Seriously he played Susie like a grand piano. C’mon Susie you don’t want no scrub!

This is just hilarious.

5. The lack of parental supervision is astounding.

6. Mr. Hyunh's depressing life story.

Let’s not forget that wonderful Christmas special where we find out Mr. Hyunh is a war refugee who gave his daughter to American soldiers to have a better life knowing he probably wouldn't see her again. Abandonment and War all rolled into a afternoon. Merry Christmas kiddies!

7. Curly obviously needs to be tested for schizophrenia. Really.

He's a 10 yr old boy freeing animals from the zoo just for shits and giggles

Doesn't get his way? Holds the principal's office hostage. Dog Day Afternoon style.

But not afraid to ask the serious questions.

And not afraid to take what he wants. Wait..I think he's actually just a bad ass.

8. You learned from a young age what its like to be friend zoned. Thanks Lila.

9. We also learned that stalking, harassing, and creating shrines to the object of your affection doesn’t warrant a restraining order but just shows how much you really LIKE LIKE them
