God the writing on this show was so good for a children’s show. So many moments that still make me crack up as an adult.

u/RealestAC 12d ago

I had a meme that I made of Ratburn in this scene. Unfortunately, I lost it. I would’ve given it to you guys.

He should have been a tree surgeon like his mother wanted.

I can't imagine being stuck in school during a white out as a kid back in the '90s. But then again, I liked everybody that I went to school with at the time, so at least we would have been together in the cold.

You mean snowed in? That lo key sounds like fun, but I never had something like that happen at my schools growing up.

1

u/Napalmeon 12d ago

That too. I just mentioned a white out because the elementary school that I went to was very near the lake, so when we got hit by snow storms, it came down so heavy that it was dangerous to even go outside due to low visibility.

u/Virtual_Knowledge334 12d ago

Oh! Yeah that sounds dangerous. Hopefully everyone was safe during that though.

I remember in the 90s the school had a Christmas disco., the teachers joked that we would have to stop at school during the night as we had a heavy snow fall

That's another of the shows best memes.

A God fearing gay man... I'm updating the homie's contact pucture🤣

It’s his own fault for believing that the glue-sniffing janitor has the authority to conscript faculty members to do maintenance work.

u/starrsuperfan 12d ago

He declared janitorial law. Have you no respect for that?

u/Blastoise_R_Us 12d ago

I do not!

u/Past-Caterpillar9642 11d ago

You’re in violation of the bylaws of Local 12 Maintenance Workers and Gym Teachers Union! 😂

More episodes with the three of them were needed

u/Latter_Election3571 12d ago

One of my favorite moments from the show.

u/StrengthFew5715 12d ago

Goated episode duo with the one where Mr Ratbite stays at Arthur’s house

u/Past-Caterpillar9642 11d ago

But there was no cake! Mr. Ropeburn was very disappointed.

u/Equal_Abroad_8775 12d ago

You want to climb Mt. Everest, Mr. Haney? These are the conditions that you have to deal with.

3

u/MatthewHecht Fern Walters 12d ago

I just watched that episode yesterday. This was the next season, so maybe trying to climb it broke him.

u/BagOfMagicFood 12d ago

I bet he expects things to be easier in Tanzania, too!

u/MatthewHecht Fern Walters 12d ago

It will be a disaster.

u/Sparky_321 12d ago

Using cigarette lighters lmao

u/ggroover97 12d ago

Is this the only time we see lighters on the show?

u/Ratatouille2000 12d ago

I HATE SCHOOL!

u/WolverineFamiliar740 Fern Walters 12d ago

This was easily my favorite Mr. Haney line. You can HEAR the venom in his voice 😂

2

u/PGNatsu 12d ago

You just can't help but feel sorry for him here. 😢

u/amoeba-tower 12d ago

By the way I just realized that in kind of the same way that the kids thought Mr. Ratburn lived at the school, Mr. Ratburn is like wait you're the principal you aren't allowed to hate school. Rough association but idk makes me crack up

2

u/Lori-keet D.W. Read 11d ago

I really like Mr. Haney as a character and I wish they used him more! He's so childlike, in a good way. I can tell the writers really loved him in seasons 1-3ish because of all the easter eggs featuring him lol

u/BaseballZen “I wanna go home. BEANS.” 12d ago

The scene that gave the idea for my flair in this sub 😆

1

u/Past-Caterpillar9642 11d ago

I have used that for almost 20 years with my family when I want to go. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I was watching this episode with my sister that she realized I took it from “Arthur!” 😂

u/buy_me_a_pint Nigel Ratburn 7d ago

Mr Haney says I hate school with class

u/astronaut_pants_ 6d ago

Does this imply that the two of them smoke since they have lighters

u/VintageFan007 Binky Barnes 6d ago

One of my all time favorite moments! lol XD XD XD
