Thaddeus Gammelthorpe – also known as Curly, “a real bon vivant” – finally gets his turn as ball monitor on the playground at PS 118… but is unjustly denied his rightful title the day of his coronation! In retaliation, Curly stages a grand brouhaha in Principal Wartz’s office in “Curly Snaps,” occupying it with a horde of dodgeballs until Mr. Simmons gives in to Curly’s demands. It’s a really fun, referential episode that also inspired Harry’s choice of Twitter avatar! Phoebe is a big fan of Ronnie Matthews, so naturally, she’s heartbroken to find out he doesn’t write, sing, or play his own songs in “Pre-Teen Scream”. Although it echoes a few other ‘meeting your heroes’ episodes of Hey Arnold! – like Mickey Kaline in “The Baseball” or The Abdicator in “Eugene Goes Bad” – but instead of focusing on exposing a phony, it focuses on what our interests, and who we choose to share them with, say about us.
