[[folder:Arnie's Friends]]
Bizarro-esque replicas of Arnold's classmates.
----
* AgeInappropriateDress: Lulu wears a bare midriff, a short skirt and knee-high boots. She's 9 years old.
* CompositeCharacter: Stumpy is a foil to Stinky, but his short stature and glasses give him a resemblance to Brainy.
* CreepyChild: They resemble kids that Arnold knows, but look and act slightly off. Arnie and Lulu take the cake, with Lulu's flirting bordering on sexual harassment and Arnie giving Arnold a DeathGlare regardless of how openly he resists these advances.
* FilleFatale: Lulu acts incredibly forward for a nine-year-old. She's introduced psoing provocatively while wearing a midriff and short skirt, repeatedly makes excuses to snuggle up to Arnold and pushes him in a lake before jumping in herself before drawing attention to how their clothes are now all damp.
* {{Foil}}: They've all got parallels to Arnold's classmates.
** Lulu is identical to Lila, but while Lila is polite, introverted and only sees Arnold as a friend while openly pining for Arnie, Lulu is brazen and stuck in an unhappy relationship with Arnie that she's hoping Arnold will disrupt.
** Stumpy and Fifi are this to Stinky and Phoebe. While Stinky is a lanky simpleton and Phoebe is a petite brain, Stumpy is a short brain while Fifi is a tall simpleton.
** Gerard and Kid are Gerald and Sid, but while Gerald is calm and Sid is excitable, Gerard and Kid are the inverse.
** Harry and Rhoda to Harold and Rhonda. Harold is a FatIdiot and Rhoda is an AlphaBitch, while Harry is health-conscious and Rhoda is an apathetic slob.
** Hilda is nice to Arnold, but doesn't like him in a romantic sense, making her one to Helga.
* {{Irony}}: "Helga on the Couch" implied that Helga wears her pink bow because back in pre-school Arnold said he liked it. Arnold falls for Hilda as soon as he sees her and she wears a scrunchie.
* NiceGirl: Arnold bumps into Hilda just like he tends to do with Helga, but rather than snapping at him Hilda accepts her share of the blame and forgives Arnold instantly. She's also very tactful when it comes to rejecting him.
* MirrorCharacter: Helga and Lila to Lulu and Hilda.
** Helga and Lulu both have an insatiable and disturbing attraction to Arnold, who is put off by both of them. They also perform a lot of underhanded tactics rather than just being honest.
** Lila and Hilda treat Arnold far more kindly, but don't have any romantic interest in him despite Arnold's attraction to them. They're also completely oblivious to the fact that Arnie prefers their more aggressive lookalikes.

* EveryoneHasStandards: As much as he likes pork-chops, he does not want to eat ones from pigs that he knows personally. He is quite disturbed learning that he was about to eat someone else's pet. Thankfully, he decides to help Arnold save Abner. In addition, though you'd get the impression from the money, he's a firm believer in good sportsmanship and refuses to play dirty. He even congratulates Arnold for beating him.
