She may be a hypocrite but she's right in this case. Muffy is so much of a spoiled brat, Francine usually seems like the voice of reason around her. This is an example. Normally I hate Francine, but when she and Muffy fight, I'm usually on Francine's side.
@@melissacooper8724 yes. Her family is incredibly rich, so they don't bother with anything that inconveniences them or makes them less perfect.

If any of you think that this is a stereotype, I will surprise you, such people exist. When I was in the hospital, there were several girls in the ward with me, and one of them was literally like Muffy. She even said that this was the first time in her life that she had made the bed, before that her parents did it to her, she never went to the dining room with us and said that everything there was crap, and in the middle of the night she made a scene and cried that the toilet was clogged and called her mother to take her away
nah dude. Leaving over a publicly clogged toilet is legit. You tend to only realize after you use it, so it would feel shameful, and, unlike the home, it's not like there is a plunger right there to fix it.
Is it just me or is Mr Frensky possibly the best parent character in the show. While I found this episode boring even as a kid he is genuinely nice and tries to explain things the best he can and try and keep things nice within the episode.
2:00 - As someone who worked for a cable company, I'm not sure how Matt Neff missed this. He says Muffy complains Francine's TV is a piece of junk, but Muffy's line is "You only get three channels." He says then to watch her own TV, but that's not the issue. The video quality is fine, the channel selection is lacking. The only thing that would fix that is a hookup to a giant antenna on the apartment roof, or connect in to a satellite or cable connection. Satellite is unlikely given the apartment, but most apartments would typically have a cable hookup. Unless Muffy wants to pay Francine's Dad to start a cable subscription, practically speaking, she's not getting more than three channels, regardless of the television.
Heck this was the 90's, if you were smart, most apartments back then had ethernet ports, you could connect and leach off your neighboring buildings cable. My mom did this, when they lived in a similar building and got free cable for almost a decade.
Actually at the time, televisions could have a port attached to them to allow a cable connection through a phone line, with the attachment connected to an account wherever you were. Also look up old Pay Per View, that used to act in a similar way.
@@almightyk11 Yeah! I didn't word it right, because it was before my time, but my folks did this. Their apartment floor all got free cable because they realized it thanks to my mom lmao
You'd think Muffy's dad would go out of his way to get a satellite dish installed somewhere on top of the apartment or out the window considering how extra they are.
Francine should've asked her parents first if Muffy can stay with them before asking Muffy. On the bright side, Catherine got the sweet end of the deal because she got to be pampered and not have to deal with Muffy and Francine!
2:27 Oliver Frensky is a union trash collector, he's probably got a great retirement plan and health insurance. Plus, he loves his job, which is more than most people can say.
I love that the Statue is depicting a Human yet Real Life Celebrities are always depicted as Animals too, implying that Humans once existed, but went extinct after Animals took over🙃
nuclear war i'm just gonna say it there was a nuclear war mankind died out and animalkind mutated and evolved into humanoids over thousands of years rebuilding civilization because even though there's still regular normal animals such as pal or nemo that's because not all animals obviously got affected by the radiation it depends on what zones you live in that have the most nuclear fallout in them
The line "money can't buy you happiness" has always been kinda laughable to me, because, yeah, money itself can't buy you happiness, but it sure as heck can buy you thing that *CAN* bring you happiness.
Money can buy you things that bring you temporary happiness. But it can't make you happy forever. Living life like Mr. Frensky does (working a job you love, and spending time with your kids) THAT will bring you happiness.

Muffy is a popular "beautiful girl", & friend of Francine. She is obsessed with wealthy persons/richness, yet goes so far as to suggest that poor peoples should be die. But ironically, her own name, Muffy, sounds like "fluffy/puffy".
Her own house was still making her sneeze. Of course she didn't go back there. Did you forget why she was staying with Francine's family in the first place?
Why isn’t the Venus De Milo an animal or drawn in similar style to the rest of the show? Are Aphrodite and the rest of the Greek Pantheon humans while everyone else are animals? Was Alexandros of Antioch a madman that depicted the gods as strange monstrosities never before seen by animal-kind? Most importantly: How does Muffy have the Venus De Milo, at least a stone replica judging by how much effort it takes to move it, when her dad sells cars? Is Crosswire Motors a front for the Elwood City mafia? Are Mr. and Mrs. Crosswire actually notorious art thieves?
I think everyone in Arthur should been humans since they don't have tails. Also strange that Arthur glasses just placed normally but his ears are on top of his head.
But she was 100% right in this case. Besides, she's not as bad as Muffy. She frequently is the voice of reason whenever she argues with Muffy, and this is an example.
Francine may be hypocritical but she is 100% right in this case. She was the voice of reason in this episode. And she frequently is the voice of reason whenever it's her vs. Muffy because Muffy is even worse.
Even though this wasn't a favorite episode of the show's earlier seasons, I could never stop laughing at Bailey's commentary at 2:58, or the scene at 3:12 where the music is so loud that it almost causes some falling plates. In addition, I'd almost forgot about the episode "Arthur and the True Francine" (Season 1 Episode 14B) for next time.
Um ACTUALLY, Muffy was allergic to her carpet and that’s why she had to move out of her room. Can’t believe the lack of care taken to Arthur’s precious continuity. (lol don’t know why my brain remembers these things)
The thing is Muffy isn't rich. Her mother said they were plain folks when Muffy asked about their family's history. Edward Crosswire became all the more lucrative as a car salesman, so his money is relatively new.
This is one episode that begs the question of why the heck does Francine keep hanging out with Muffy and what the heck does she even see in her when she makes Veruca Salt look like an angel?
this was the first Arthur Episode that didn't appear but only in the Beginning Intro while he try his best to clean his room! (the episode is reminds us of the Odd Couple!)
i know people think Francine and Muffy are hypocrites when they call out on others for being mean yet they come off as mean themselves, but from my perspective they do have a sense of right and wrong as they will call out on others for being mean. I know it can be a little thick after some of the things they've said in the past, but i think when they see someone acting worse then them it makes them realize how they've been acting. Muffy might not always be the most compassionate friend, but that's just because being rich she's used to others solving the problems for her. Once she starts to understand the seriousness of the situation, she will make up for her behavior such as sponsoring or strategizing skills to build up business. And she always does appreciate her friends and family's kindness (even if she does take it for granted sometimes.) Besides i would rather put up with her antics then Chloe from miraculous ladybug. Muffy might be tempted to hang out with Chloe at first, but i think she'd turn her down in the end deciding she'd rather be with her real friends than a brat like her. I for one would love to see Chloe's reaction if she found out her best friend's dad works in a dump.
Now we need an FU Mr Crosswire for spoiling his daughter with money he made selling shitty used cars. There are clues throughout the series that he is every bit as crooked as the dad in Matilda. Not to mention the times he asked Jane Read to help him commit tax fraud.
I have a theory that Jane is getting ready to, either, set him up with the, IRS, or, if he truly steps out of line, "accidentally," lose a large quantity of dirty money, and, make a deal for, immunity, and, witness protection, for her whole family, minus, D.W., who gets left holding the bag with the Crosswires, simple as that.
😂😂❤❤ my favorite part of the whole series is when you said move your own damn TV , hell you brought two of them ! I never heard someone said that in my life. 😁😊😇🥰😎✌️
I got a really good Fu Muffy episode, Is the episode where it's picture day And muffy forces francine to look perfect in francine doesn't want to act perfect
It's basically the identical principle as staying in a totally loveless marriage because the other partner is truly rich, and, the prenup will leave you with next to nothing, of course, there are times when the real tears fall during the reading of the will, and, the other partner discovers far too late that the entirety of their estate is, either, going to, charity, and/or, specifically, earmarked for children, who, very, likely, will keep all of the money for themselves, (or, so, I've heard).
1:14 And the Venus de Milo is depicted as a human. In a world full of anthro animals... and regular animal. I personally think it's the best to think that much about it.

Most importantly: How does Muffy have the Venus De Milo, at least a stone replica judging by how much effort it takes to move it, when her dad sells cars? Is Crosswire Motors a front for the Elwood City mafia? Are Mr. and Mrs. Crosswire actually notorious art thieves?
I think everyone in Arthur should been humans since they don't have tails.
Also strange that Arthur glasses just placed normally but his ears are on top of his head.
0:04 Glass house, Francine. Glass house.
Lol very true 😂
But she was 100% right in this case. Besides, she's not as bad as Muffy. She frequently is the voice of reason whenever she argues with Muffy, and this is an example.
Francine: your selfish and mean?
Takes one to know one.
Francine may be hypocritical but she is 100% right in this case. She was the voice of reason in this episode. And she frequently is the voice of reason whenever it's her vs. Muffy because Muffy is even worse.
Matt: two minutes in and we’re all ready at the best part of the episode
Casually zooms in on Dow’s foot
Even though this wasn't a favorite episode of the show's earlier seasons, I could never stop laughing at Bailey's commentary at 2:58, or the scene at 3:12 where the music is so loud that it almost causes some falling plates. In addition, I'd almost forgot about the episode "Arthur and the True Francine" (Season 1 Episode 14B) for next time.
Bailey is one of my favorite characters. He does his job amazingly well, and no matter how many reasons he has to complain, he never does.
@mattneff good review, but you forgot one thing: And for barging into Arthur's room and making a mess after he cleaned up, F you, Dora Winifred Read!
D.W. gets an FU even in episode where she appears for only 10 seconds
Um ACTUALLY, Muffy was allergic to her carpet and that’s why she had to move out of her room. Can’t believe the lack of care taken to Arthur’s precious continuity.
(lol don’t know why my brain remembers these things)
The thing is Muffy isn't rich. Her mother said they were plain folks when Muffy asked about their family's history. Edward Crosswire became all the more lucrative as a car salesman, so his money is relatively new.
Are you saying you can't be rich just because you're new money? They have servants, for heavens sake!
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 What I'm trying to say is they weren't always rich. The Crosswires are newly rich is what I mean.
@@99thJediWarrior And it shows in quite a few episodes where Ed even tells Muffy to be careful of spending and appreciate what she has.
I think it's safe to say a Pup Named Daphne is a better rich girl then Muffy
Oh definitely! Do you think I should cover that show?
@@mattneff Yes do the one where Fred can't accuse Red of a crime
Like I posted before.
Muffy: Oh come on, poor people don't exist.
(Later that day)
Muffy: Oh God, they do exist.
Me: B***h.😠
D.W. getting Crushed To ‘Death’ by Arthur’s Mountain of Toys Serves as KARMA for Her Torturing her BROTHER! 😅😂
Amen
Great job as always Matt I love your Fu videos.
Cath livin' the *HIGH LIFE*
Yeah I'm glad Catherine got a W in this episode
Remember that episode where Muffy was following Catherine around trying to act like a teenager? Do that one next.
“If I die sneezing I hope you’re happy”
“I know I’ll be happy”
LOL!
She makes Veruca salt look charitable
At least, her father later got what he always truly wanted, she went first.
In the 2005 movie, Veruca's father decides to stop spoiling her in the end. So at least he learns his lesson, unlike Mr. Crosswire
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xlAttitudes greatly improved, luckily.
Speaking of Veruca Salt, her actress actually stole some props from the set.
@@Iamhungey I didn't know that
This is one episode that begs the question of why the heck does Francine keep hanging out with Muffy and what the heck does she even see in her when she makes Veruca Salt look like an angel?
The Binky, the Binky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.
London Tipton was more grateful than Muffy
I love the FU Muffy episodes! Please make more whenever you can!
Which episode should I cover next?
@@mattneff How the Cookie Crumbles
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl Ooh! Yes!!!
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl And the follow up episode with the kinetic art.
@@mondenkindqueen Oh yeah, where Bailey designed all these sculptures but Muffy took the credit.
this was the first Arthur Episode that didn't appear but only in the Beginning Intro while he try his best to clean his room! (the episode is reminds us of the Odd Couple!)
Like I said this show’s writing team has a twisted sense of morality
Unfortunately, it's, nonexistent, unquestionably.
@@matthewdaley746 they just make muffy and dw win while Arthur is just the butt of jokes
@@cinnamonmantrainsareawesom7224Fairly, depressingly, accurate, unquestionably.
One awful character deserves the other.
Agreed!
Muffy and Francine are the same species
i know people think Francine and Muffy are hypocrites when they call out on others for being mean yet they come off as mean themselves, but from my perspective they do have a sense of right and wrong as they will call out on others for being mean. I know it can be a little thick after some of the things they've said in the past, but i think when they see someone acting worse then them it makes them realize how they've been acting. Muffy might not always be the most compassionate friend, but that's just because being rich she's used to others solving the problems for her. Once she starts to understand the seriousness of the situation, she will make up for her behavior such as sponsoring or strategizing skills to build up business. And she always does appreciate her friends and family's kindness (even if she does take it for granted sometimes.) Besides i would rather put up with her antics then Chloe from miraculous ladybug. Muffy might be tempted to hang out with Chloe at first, but i think she'd turn her down in the end deciding she'd rather be with her real friends than a brat like her. I for one would love to see Chloe's reaction if she found out her best friend's dad works in a dump.
Imagine if Miffy had to live with Kenny
Kid Danger: *wearing his mighty pup movie outfit* FU Buster! "Through the looking glasses"
Muffy: "I'm getting tired of being poor anyway"
Me: Girl, I don't even have enough money to buy my Barbies their own dream house.
Suggestion for another FU Muffy: Muffy Goes Metropolis
You should do "Spoiled Rotten!" as a future FU Muffy episode! And "The Best of the Nest" as an FU Francine AND Muffy episode!
Now we need an FU Mr Crosswire for spoiling his daughter with money he made selling shitty used cars. There are clues throughout the series that he is every bit as crooked as the dad in Matilda. Not to mention the times he asked Jane Read to help him commit tax fraud.
I have a theory that Jane is getting ready to, either, set him up with the, IRS, or, if he truly steps out of line, "accidentally," lose a large quantity of dirty money, and, make a deal for, immunity, and, witness protection, for her whole family, minus, D.W., who gets left holding the bag with the Crosswires, simple as that.
This a great spin off fu muffy.
😂😂❤❤ my favorite part of the whole series is when you said move your own damn TV , hell you brought two of them ! I never heard someone said that in my life. 😁😊😇🥰😎✌️
One of the best episodes for people who hate dw and muffy
Vomitocious got it!!! 😂😂😂
Muffy would be the final girl in every horror movie, with a disastrous outcome 🧟

I got a really good Fu Muffy episode, Is the episode where it's picture day And muffy forces francine to look perfect in francine doesn't want to act perfect
I’m getting tired of being poor too.
Same
Thanks for this FU Muffy episode. I’m glad I finally got to see one.
More to come! Which episode should I cover next?
@@mattneff How the Cookie Crumbles
How about “Francine’s Bad Hair Day”?
I'm truly surprised Muffy and Francine are still friends after all that. She's lucky she had a place to stay at all.
It's basically the identical principle as staying in a totally loveless marriage because the other partner is truly rich, and, the prenup will leave you with next to nothing, of course, there are times when the real tears fall during the reading of the will, and, the other partner discovers far too late that the entirety of their estate is, either, going to, charity, and/or, specifically, earmarked for children, who, very, likely, will keep all of the money for themselves, (or, so, I've heard).
Muffy should be called muffy the poor people hater 🤣
1:14 And the Venus de Milo is depicted as a human. In a world full of anthro animals... and regular animal. I personally think it's the best to think that much about it.
0:29 Ding Dong the Witch is dead!
Good For Catherine 😄👍
In retrospect, Arthur to kids was The Simpsons for adults; cartoony and outlandish while trying to be relatable
"he imagines what it's like to live with Binky or The Brain"
dun, dun, dun, dun
dun, dun, dun, dun
Binky and The Brain.. Binky and The Brain..
one is a genius.. the other's ins-
"that wasn't very nice Luke" (if you know, you know)
Francine having a Tea Party!? Her of all people?!
