@@PellimoriEUGH! I cannot watch that episode, it’s so nasty. Probably the most disgusting Arthur has ever been. And I’m not normally afraid of blood or gore.
so many shows won't even show parent's faces, but this show juggled portraying nine 3rd graders and 5 kindergartners and their families. I'm quite in impressed with the character lineup of this show.
I had a friend who’s dad was a “garbage man” His job earned them enough money to afford having three kids, have his wife be a SAHM, live in a nice house (which they ungraded to later on to a bigger house) and afford his wife and their daughters to go on frequent shopping trips (and we’re talking high street stores here) and get beauty treatments practically every fortnight. I didn’t put two and two together at the time, but damn he had a good wage!
@mattneff I remember in Matilda, the dad said he didn't even go to college. When I was younger, it seemed weird that they had put college down. But, now it's like, why do they push college on us? I struggled so much in high school that it was frustrating that there were never any options for kids not going to college. They don't even have any job internships. Even if you can graduate, it's difficult to even get a job in general, not to mention even with your degree, not to mention pay-off student loans. I've even applied to multiple jobs in the last five years and still haven't gotten anywhere. And they're minimum wage jobs, too.
@@deadcalzone It doesn’t come from nowhere though, unlike DW. My theory is that if Francine isn’t the “poor kid” at her school, she’s the closest the main cast ever got to one. Beyond one or two plot relevant examples in other families, hers is the only family who consistently has issues affording things. Like a bike in this episode. I get the feeling that Francine is just putting up a front, basically punching down first so everyone else can’t punch down on her.
Fu Catherine for convincing her little sister to disrespect their dad's job. Catherine is probably the reason Francine sides with dw sometimes in conflicts involving Arthur since she knows what it's like to have a bullying older sibling.
To Francine's credit, SHE'S not the the one who is embarrassed by her dad's job. Katherine is the one who is embarrassed, and plants the seed in Francine's head. Earlier in the episode, Francine seemed genuinely supportive of her dad.
@@mattneffwell, in the episode, “prunella gets it twice”. Francine gives her a Polly locket doll. But as it turns out that she already has the same doll and Francine was upset because of that. And she gets a visit from the ghost of birthday presents to show her that Francine worked really hard to get prunella a Polly locket doll. Realizing her friend work really hard on giving her gift. Prunella learns her lesson on giving Francine the Polly locket doll that she give her and now the two of them are even.
Also, in “Arthur & the Real Mr. Ratburn,” she scared her friends into believing that Mr. Ratburn is a nail-eating vampire with hypnotic powers for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!
Or how she went overboard to try and have a sleepover with her friend Marina, who is blind. She constantly felt the need to worry about her instead of respecting Marina’s capabilities.
Well, to give credit where it's due, there's one episode where Francine was alright. "Prunella Gets it Twice." What that poor girl went through to get Prunella's ungrateful ass that Polly Locket doll... up to and including cleaning out the back of her father's garbage truck. I mean, can you imagine the kinds of things that are dumped in the back of a garbage truck? Rotting food, used tampons, loaded diapers, soiled rags, used tissues, it's disgusting. She deserves a medal for that. Maybe Matt can do a special F.U. Prunella video and spotlight that episode.
Francine, my first real bike was a beat up old mountain bike my dad found on the side of the road when I was two years old and you know what?? That damn piece of junk has gotten me through ALL the adolescent bike shit, from the chain coming loose crossing the Narrows Bridge to crashing into a fence when the brakes cut out. I still have that thing. ❤
Listen your channel is hilarious!!! You should definitely cover the episode where Muffy reads a magazine and decides she's an adult now and hangs out with Catherine and her friends
Is it me, or is Binky actually the most likeable "bully" character on the show? Also, do an episode on "MacFrensky," the one where Francine frames the Brain for stealing Buster's alien robot toy just so she can win a dumb Student of the Month award.
Tbf this time it was her older sister creating the situation this time. Also yeah, these kids should've had some kind of protection while they were there
@@mattneff Don't be so quick to judge! I read that a couple opened an Ice Cream store & bought the same type of machine MCD uses, then they set up camera's to watch the guy do his job of fixing it so they could do it themselves & make mods so it would Never Break again.
This is one of those worst things Francine Ever Done. That is pretty messed up. Francine is a total a hole. Especially another character who is a total menance to society, Edward from Camp Lazlo. He is so rude and malicious to an innocent character Lazlo. Especially in episodes The List, Hello Dolly, Move Night, Burpless Bean and The Book of Slinkman (which had some funny Edward moments) For those who don't know. He is a Platypus kid that sound like Plankton.
Why didn't Mr. Frensky think to suggest fixing up his old bike? Yes, a brand new bike is expensive, but cleaning, putting on a fresh new coat of paint, and parts for a bike aren't expensive. Plus, given his line of work, he probably has some sort of mechanical skills and also some skills with a toolbox to fix it up before giving it to Francine in the first place. So I think Mr. Frensky needs at least A SMALL PERCENTAGE of the F.U. in that episode.
@@mattneff not anymore, ever since draw I grown to hate her last, and was because she reminded me of the way how the other kids in my school use to treated me.
I wonder if “Arthur’s Snow Biz” is an FU Buster, as well. Buster practically acts like a self righteous prick when trying to compete against Arthur for shoveling snowy driveways.
Yet he apparently knew to remove the bananas from their skins in _How the Cookie Crumbles._ Also, I'm sure Freud would have had a field day with Binky's banana obsession.
My request is for you to make a Phineas and Ferb video about Candence, the episodes at her worst are, Phineas and Ferb gets busted, Last Day of Summer, and Phineas and Ferb Quantum Boogaloo.
Hey Matt, you could've gone with "Francine is Trash" instead of FU Francine in that episode. Just like that Zack Morris clip that you put on the end of that one FU DW episode before. Also at 0:50, at least Mr. Crosswire isn't a toxic and shitty father like Matilda's father Harry Wormwood (Danny DeVito), and even not corrupt as him.
saw this episode when I was little, and while I got the lesson of being grateful for your hand-me-downs, I also learned an even more important lesson: the garbage truck is going to steal and eat your bike. I was four. 😂
Y'know, this really should be an FU Catherine episode... because Francine didn't care that her dad was a garbage man until Catherine said something about it.
Your last FU Francine showed why Mr. Frensky is one of the best adults in the show. And hey, garbage collection is a job that has to be done. It pays well, too.
To be fair, she was influenced by her sister’s thoughts. As someone with an older sister, you’re gonna be influenced a lot. 😅 Especially if your sister is considered the “cool teenager” even among your friends 😂
Fun fact!! My first bike was cobbled together from the dump! I grew up kind of poor, we weren't destitute or anything, but the phrase "we can't afford that right now" was common. So, I don't know why... But my dad frequented the dump, and brought back some pretty interesting stuff for my brother and I. This included my brother's first bike, my first bike, a cylinder "aquarium" lamp (you filled it with water, and there were these plastic fish that bobbed around in the bubbles while the light cycled through red blue and green, it was neat) and once my dad brought home a store display Nintendo Virtual Boy (and it freaking WORKED) What did my dad do for a job? He worked for a state institution working on/maintaining HVAC systems. So what he was doing at the dump so often is beyond me, but I thought it was normal as a child. I'm not complaining, not by a long shot. I never complained that my dad got me a bike from the dump (he fixed it up and everything) I was just happy to have a bike! Unlike Francine
My dad used to be an industrial butcher.. I asked him how he could handle the smell of the kill floor. he said simply "Son, that's money you're smelling. Money."
The Francine Bike episode was me simultaneously hating and somehow relating to Francine at the same time, as my family never had that much money either, I just find it weird that Mr Frensky makes less than a regular garbage collector, I heard they make around the same amount as plumbers. And why shouldn’t they?
I always found it weird that they wore surgical clothes for making ice cream. Still that was a great episode for showing that there are no 'bad jobs' and that all work is an honest way to make a living
@@mattneff yeah but they had full on scrubs and masks. I never seen that in the making of ice cream (pre covid). plus they even acted as if it was operation and instruments were passed. or it might've been meant to be give mad science lab vibes
I now find it interesting how Mr. Frensky is supposed to be paid a wage higher than a lot of white collar workers but somehow the show didn't portray that. I wonder if PBS is just ignorant of how much waste management/sanitation workers get paid (the most likely explanation). Another explanation is that they simply are extremely frugal (which can partly explain the "we don't have the money right now") or they simply have commitments we don't know about (definitely not paying medical bills but I can accept if they are paying off debt or saving money, or both). It can't be that because rent is expensive since Elwood City is not like New York, even if the apartment is spacious. It could be a personal choice for them to stay in that apartment because, if the pay argument stands, Mr. Frensky can afford for his family to move to a house, at least not now. They could be using the money to go to the girls' college funds and their retirement funds, and they aim to live rent free. Still, I think PBS just wanted to show a blue collar family and were likely to be ignorant of the true pay rates of sanitation engineers/waste management workers. Or they did know how much Mr. Frensky is paid which is why Francine is always well provided for and she only really complained about having to room in with Katherine (if one of the kids were a boy instead, then they would have moved from that apartment).
What about the episode video where she swap out her family gathering and a bowling hangout with her friends at the same time I think it was the season 7 episode called "Francine's Split Decision"
Good episode Matt. These two episodes were honestly two of my favorites as a kid, even though Francine was absolutely rotten in both of them to fear for the first one though Katherine had a lot of influence on her and the first one.
To be fair, Katherine was filling her head with all this secondhand embarrassment for her father's job. Francine didn't care until Katherine started going off in her ear.
So Brain's parents prepare & cook pizza...just to use it for an ice cream ingredient. Instead of, I don't know...serving pizza and ice cream? How often does anyone(besides Buster) even order pizza flavored ice cream? I somehow never questioned this as a kid and assumed they're an ice cream parlor that has literally whatever you want as a topping
Growing up, and still my dad is a janitor. I'm proud because they're not appreciated as they should be by the teachers and make more than a teacher can and good healthcare. I've gone to how many of the schools he's worked at when i was little when he'd show me his job and what he does. He used to be embarrassed when i was little because he also worked at the elementary school i went to the same year i was still at that school. He was embarrassed because he didn't want other kids to make fun of me for having a janitor for a father. I'm still proud of my dad because he works hard. So i never felt ashamed but didn't tell people because my dad was ashamed
What would you do if Francine was your daughter? 😅
Disown her
I’d take her to an Eagles game.
take her to the orfange
Honestly, I would try to sit her down and make her understand that she has it really good in the world, and to stop being a spoiled brat
I would have her be disciplined by Supernanny
Francine should have tried to cancel the trip, but not because her dads job is embarrassing, but because it's unsanitary.
lol yeah, it definitely felt like a massive safety hazard
@@mattneffto be fair it is just monkey business
Your mom is unsanitary
This is where the episode "Arthur's Knee" comes in @@mattneff
@@PellimoriEUGH! I cannot watch that episode, it’s so nasty. Probably the most disgusting Arthur has ever been. And I’m not normally afraid of blood or gore.

The show definitely has a well-rounded cast of characters
And gave them all different religions and ethnicities.
“Is he really with a real FBI?”
Damn buster don’t know how to chill
🤣
And that. Is why buster is the best one out em all.
Speaking of the FBI, Francine’s lucky her dad isn’t in Waste Management. Now that’s a risky business.
Wait why? That's where my dad was.
@@Jaiden_Anime_Shuns Sopranos reference
What's Waste Management?
@@comadoof184 The process of collecting, treating, recycling and disposing different waste materials
“I'm in the waste management business. Everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up. It's a stereotype. And it's offensive.”
You should cover Citizen Frensky one day, that episode covers Francine humiliating her friends, her sister, and Ratburn on the newspaper.
lol I remember that episode!
I like that episode, Francine was wrong, but I didn't hate her in the episode.
That episode had that bit where she took of picture of Mr. Ratburn's ass
Very weird
I don’t think she was too bad in the episode, mainly because she got karma by Catherine.
@@BlackOrderAlchemist I guess we can assume Mr. Read was a fan. (Though Francine missed the real scoop of Mr. Ratburn's secret affair with Mr. Read.)
Francine is the kid that jumps the curb during a driving test and blames the city for a curb being there.
She would ram into a car at a stop sign or red light and say they should of kept moving.
She's the kind of person who would gripe about speed bumps in a residential neighborhood after running over a couple of kids.
You can tell this is the 90s because Francine's parents are "poor" and their apartment is bigger than my house.
I miss the 1990s!
The Simpsons were also "poor" and could afford a four bedroom house with a living room and a family room in the suburbs on one income.
I had a friend who’s dad was a “garbage man”
His job earned them enough money to afford having three kids, have his wife be a SAHM, live in a nice house (which they ungraded to later on to a bigger house) and afford his wife and their daughters to go on frequent shopping trips (and we’re talking high street stores here) and get beauty treatments practically every fortnight.
I didn’t put two and two together at the time, but damn he had a good wage!
OR was selling drugs 🎉
@@silverlot5674That's gotta be where Mr. Frensky's money is going. How else would his family be struggling on a garbage collector's salary?
@@AtheistPirate or he's trying hair treatment drugs.

Nope. He's Matilda's dad reincarnated.

He'd still sell Muffy's dad a crappy car though.
@@whatsanenigma Then Mr. Crosswire would re-sell it to some other sucker at a nice profit.
Honestly, it should be Francine’s dad that should be ashamed of her. He managed to produce DW’s sidekick.

Idk why being a garbageman is looked down upon. It pays a good wage for not a lot of effort for work. Now if they'd keep my trashcan upright...
I always found it weird that they wore surgical clothes for making ice cream. Still that was a great episode for showing that there are no 'bad jobs' and that all work is an honest way to make a living

The Franklin Expedition was at the NORTH Pole. You're thinking of Robert Falcon Scott.
Francine and Arthur should just switch sisters honestly. I'm pretty sure they'd all be happier this way.
YES!!!
There's a storm expected to become a hurricane headed to Louisiana and expected to get worse in the Gulf of Mexico. The name? Tropical Storm Francine.
7:32
Except she becomes a CEO for a brand of sneakers… does that count as blue collar or just upscale
What about the episode video where she swap out her family gathering and a bowling hangout with her friends at the same time I think it was the season 7 episode called "Francine's Split Decision"
I don't think I've seen that episode. That sounds insane!
@@mattneff yikes um..sorry I didn't know my apologies for spoilers but I'm sure it will make a intresting video idea
@@mattneff You should watch it.
It was a bar mitzvah she ditched.
Good episode Matt. These two episodes were honestly two of my favorites as a kid, even though Francine was absolutely rotten in both of them to fear for the first one though Katherine had a lot of influence on her and the first one.
To be fair, Katherine was filling her head with all this secondhand embarrassment for her father's job. Francine didn't care until Katherine started going off in her ear.
0:21-0:24. There goes the beer out my nose lol oh man freaking hilarious
You should do some Binky episodes next. Like…..BINKY VS BINKY, from the earlier seasons!
So Brain's parents prepare & cook pizza...just to use it for an ice cream ingredient. Instead of, I don't know...serving pizza and ice cream?
How often does anyone(besides Buster) even order pizza flavored ice cream?
I somehow never questioned this as a kid and assumed they're an ice cream parlor that has literally whatever you want as a topping
Mr. Ratburn glazing Mr. Read's cake privately gag will never not be funny 😂😂😂😂
Sanitary workers are majorly important
Omg mr. Crosswire being matilda's dad 💯💯
I work in the fast food industry so that pays for my food. Most importantly, my coffee because coffee is more important than food lol
Growing up, and still my dad is a janitor. I'm proud because they're not appreciated as they should be by the teachers and make more than a teacher can and good healthcare. I've gone to how many of the schools he's worked at when i was little when he'd show me his job and what he does. He used to be embarrassed when i was little because he also worked at the elementary school i went to the same year i was still at that school. He was embarrassed because he didn't want other kids to make fun of me for having a janitor for a father. I'm still proud of my dad because he works hard. So i never felt ashamed but didn't tell people because my dad was ashamed
Francine's dad deserves more respect 😓😓😓
Garbage man is also a union job with union benefits
I know a character worse than DW: Perfect Peter. You should do an FU Perfect Peter video
You know honestly dad job episode should be called FU Catherine
This episode stuck with me from childhood!
1:25 UNPEELED bananas, to be exact. 🤢
