History YMMV / HeyArnoldS3E46ArnoldBetraysIggyHelgaAndTheNanny

* TheScrappy: Iggy for mistreating and humiliating Arnold despite the fact that the latter did his best to earn his forgiveness.
Sid and Stinky have become hated after revealing Iggy's secret and not getting any comeuppance whatsoever despite being the cause of Iggy and Arnold's humilations.

* CathartisFactor: After spending the entire episode putting Arnold through the wringer it's so satisfying to see Iggy get his comeuppance via the former rejecting his apology and ending his friendship with him.

* NeverLiveItDown: Iggy forcing Arnold to wear bunny pajamas in public. Even though he realized his mistake after hearing Sid and Stinky admit to pulling the secret out of Arnold's mouth, Arnold never forgave him, nor did the fans. Even Craig Bartlett himself was ashamed of the episode, and Iggy never made another major appearance again. Sid and Stinky can qualify too, since they were the ones who randomly guessed Arnold's secret about Iggy, and also that they broke the promise they made with Arnold not to give away Iggy's secret. Unlike Iggy, this didn't get the two of them removed from the series nor does Arnold renounce them as his friends.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Helga shouldn't have framed Inga for theft, it's hard to feel sorry for Inga after she spent the entire episode forcing Helga into a dress she clearly wasn't happy wearing and otherwise trying to control her life, regardless of how good her intentions were.

* AccidentalAesop: Whenever you're trying to make a promise to someone to keep a secret, ''do '''not''' even give out a slightest hint to someone else about it'', especially when they cannot be trusted, persistent, and/or just simply [[LooseLips won't keep their mouth shut]], like the way Arnold answered to Sid and Stinky why he was giggling, namely ''"It's just something Iggy was wearing. That's all."'', which made Sid and Sticky take wild guesses about it. Even though it's not a bad thing to be generally honest, sometimes it's just better to white lie to others about a private matter (whether it's yours or another person's), otherwise you can and will potentially, though unwittingly, ruin their life.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: As much as disliked "Arnold Betrays Iggy" is, it does show that some people will never forgive you no matter how apologetic you are.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: This episode is considered the worst due to Arnold being treated badly just to be forgiven, Iggy being ungrateful and unforgivable, Stinky and Sid for causing Arnold's misery and not getting punished, and everyone kicking the dog on Arnold. Even Arnold himself can be difficult to be sympathized with, because of his HonorBeforeReason attitude. Rather than coming to terms that Iggy will never forgive him, Arnold suffered through humiliation just to earn Iggy's (undeserved) forgiveness.
