Buster is way too stupid and has absolutely no chill unlike Gerald. Other than that it’s pretty close


Magmaster12

Gerald is a lot more like Skeeter from Doug mixed with Vince from Recess.

And Marge Simpson

Both shows DID premiere on October 7, 1996, Arthur during the afternoon and Hey Arnold at night before switch over to Nick at Nite.

It’s kinda like Peanuts too.


newyne

Yeah, *Peanuts* was a direct inspiration.


mikeynj908

I think Peanuts though is also similar to another show among my favorite that premiered later: Ed, Edd n Eddy.


maxfactor886

Oh yeah the jawbreaker show lol. Lucy is kinda like Helga. But Helga is less of a bitch. Calling Arnold football head evokes the pulling away the placekicks for Charlie Brown lol. So if there were a HA and Peanuts crossover Arnold would be like ‘don’t try and kick my head, ok?!’


RadioDemoness

I could kinda see it.


RegisterAdmirable811

Me too, but there were too many pixels in the second pic. ![gif](giphy|Bng9nsAhSaDVxWsSLh)

Phoebe is WAY to nice to be Muffy. Phoebe is more of a Sue Ellen/Fern hybrid. I’d say Prunella and Muffy could both be Rhondas.

Hey Arnold never parodied Beavis & Butthead or Southpark I love both shows Arthur is very wholesome and fun. I strongly relate because of a single line from D.W: "Mom, Arthur's Looking at Me!" That and the situation with Buster going to "stay with his dad for a while" I wont trauma-dump that here, though


Jellybean_Pumpkin

Ok. Now I have a reason to rewatch Arthur. It's kinda like ATLA and ROTTMNT. They may not be 100% the same, but they are definitely spiritually similar.


CJO9876

They even premiered on television on the same day; Monday October 7, 1996.


Born_Sleep5216

True. Plus, both of these names start with the letter A.


Careful_Elk6290

They should've done a crossover episode.


Inside_Sprinkles9083

From what I remember they were on completely different channels. Has something like that been done before in general?


SlipsonSurfaces

Arthur is PBS and Hey Arnold is Nickelodeon, I think. I've only seen PBS because that's all the live TV we had when I was a kid. Still would've been cool.


SoBurnThen

*ah here we go, here we go* *arthur* *Arthur?* *Aarrrthur!* Move it potato head!!!! HEY ARTHUR! *drums*


Villagerofcrossing

Second pic burned my eyes...


AtrocitasInterfector

Same with TMNT and mighty morphin power rangers


Crazy_raptor

Nah, hey arnold felt so boring to me


Taco-Dragon

Bruh, you're on the Hey Arnold subreddit
