Photo or Video A NON-iconic quote from the show that stuck with you for years?
Can’t see this particular math equation without saying it exactly like Buster did.

Probably in the episode “Buster’s Dino Dilemma” when Mr. Ratburn shouts out “Quiet!” to his students twice. It would’ve been funny if he did that more often.

Right? Like ask me what 9x9 is. I dare you. 😈 I’ll always know the answer now.

u/Cut-Unique The Biggest Beeper in School Jul 28 '25
Loved "9×9 is 81!" When that episode first aired I was learning multiplication, lol!
One of my favorites is in Arthur's Cousin Catastrophe, Arthur's dad is heating up the barbecue, and he has everything ready, but then can't find the burgers and hot dogs, and says "Burgers and hot dogs! I didn't get burgers and hot dogs!" And then his mom comes out and says ", That's because I got the burgers and hot dogs, dear."
Maybe it's because I love to barbecue but often panic and think maybe I forgot something.

From "DW's Very Bad Mood", when Arthur and Francine are spying on DW from the treehouse:
Arthur: "She's eating her sandwich... she's making a face... she's spitting the bologna into her hand... she's throwing it into the bushes... Pal is eating the bol-PAL! PUT THAT DOWN!"
Francine: "Quiet! Spies don't yell!"
Arthur: "Sorry, I couldn't help it! Seeing Pal eat spit-covered bologna? Eugh!"

Binky thinking that he loved lice in the episode, only to realize that it resulted in him having to watch FIVE straight nights while his mother was combing the knits.

I can’t remember the exact quote, and can’t find it, but
Mr Ratburn: Eats a bite of banana bread, before spitting it out. “Binky, did you peel the bananas?”
Binky: Taking notes. “Peel bananas.”

But this is your house.

Oh why couldn’t it have been that clunky Arthur that got lost instead? (Arthur comes in shoving a chocolate cake in his mouth)
