History Heartwarming / HeyArnold

* In the ThanksgivingEpisode, Helga returns home - expecting her family not to have missed her. Instead, she sees Miriam demanding the police find her missing daughter, Big Bob about to get in his Hummer to patrol the city and Olga having just finished dozens of fliers she intends to hang up. Naturally, they're overjoyed to see her safe and sound.

** What's funny and heartwarming is that they bond by mocking the musical.

* The end of "The Beeper Queen". Miriam's finally taken some initiative and has proven she's more than a "smoothie"-guzzling scatterbrain by taking over for Bob at the beeper emporium, and she ''loves'' it. But once she realizes she's neglected Helga, she gives it all up to come back home, and she and Helga even hug. This being the [[DysfunctionJunction Pataki]] family makes it all that more meaningful.

* The end of "Sally's Comet," when their plan to work get everyone to turn out their lights works so they can see the comet in all it's glory, just like Phil did with ''his'' dad seventy years ago.

* The episode "Hey Herold!", featuring quite possibly one of the most touching and adorable pairings in the history of animation, Harold and Patty.

* There was an episode where the kids try to take the subway but it ends up malfunctioning leaving them along with a hobo, a blind man with his dog, a psychologist and his patient trying to overcome claustrophobia, a retired nurse, and an old man stuck underground. Of course tensions run high but near the end, Arnold notices there's something wrong with the blind man's dog and points it out. The retired joins Arnold while the blind man sits back and worries. Some moments later he asks if his dog is alright, Arnold reassures him and tells him his dog was actually female and then moves out of the way to reveal puppies! The blind man just starts crying tears of happiness and says "I'm going to be a daddy?!" And to make it even better, the subway turns back on and everyone cheers!

* In "Casa Paradiso", where Grandpa tries to sell the boarding house and tries to make Arnold, who refuses to leave, come with him to live in a condo. The heartwarming part comes in as the residents stand by Arnold's protesting of selling their home, and they swear that they'll take care of him.

** And ''how''. It's been four years since this troper last watched that episode and she ''still'' cries happy tears just thinking about it.
** How about Helga sacrificing her own gift (these special boots) in order to make it happen without any recognition and without any sort of notice. And keep in mind that this was from her parents who seem to have a WellDoneSonGuy relationship with her. So for her to sacrifice that rare bit of recognition and love from them in order for Arnold to make Mr. Hyunh's wish come true is just...it's a mix of a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and a TearJerker. [[WhatYouAreInTheDark And no one will ever know]].

* Any episode starring Big Patty, really; how Arnold manages to convince her to fake a beatdown on Helga and they share a bit of heart to heart, how Harold stands up to [[ThoseTwoGuys Stinky and Sid]] when they mock Patty (twice; first time after a dance together, second time after losing an arm-wrestling match to her with pride and dignity) and even ''[[SpoiledSweet Rhonda]]'' who gave another snobby materialistic girl a verbal beatdown before things escalated into a repeat of the reform school they both went to, or worse. By the end of each episode, they all gain a bit of respect towards Patty and find that she isn't so bad as they first thought after all.

* In "Best Man," Coach Wittenburg asks Arnold to be just that at his wedding - saying he's his only true friend.

* In the ThanksgivingEpisode, Helga returns home - expecting her family not to have missed her. Instead, she sees Miriam demanding the police find her missing daughter, Big Bob about to get in his Hummer to patrol the city and Olga having just finished dozens of fliers she intends to hang up.

'''Pookie:''' [[CrazyAwesome Oh, Arnold, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without fireworks.]]

* This troper hasn't seen the episode in years, but one moment rings in memory: Helga's father gets tickets for a function she wanted to go to, thinking it was a musical. In reality, it was a wrestling match. Despite the mixup Helga and her dad enjoy the show together.

* Four words: "You keep the money."

* Arnold [[ShipTease hugging]] Helga at the end of "Arnold Visits Arnie".
