She is the best character in the 90's of Nickelodeon, she is do funny and awesome, she can beat up any boy in the neighborhood, she is tough and strong, hilarious and the prettiest girl in the show, and plus she's even better than Arnold. - rockrockmountain

She may be the popular character of the series, she does have a dark past of how is it like being neglected by a family in a favour of an older sibling. Also she probably wants to beat the shins of other people excluding Arnold is the reason why she kept her obsession secret.

Helga is a great character, despite her "angry" exterior. If you've watched the show, you realize why she is so mean. Also, she likes Arnold because he was one of the few people who noticed her.

She has been child abused.
She struggles to say to Arnold that she actually likes him, so instead she is rude to him. From the intro to the episodes.

2 Arnold

Arnold is so optimistic, despite his parents being gone. You know he's one of the best characters in this show.

Very nice kid. He gives good advice to people he likes and dislikes. Helga is also a good character

I love Arnold! His sweetness and care for people is what I love the most about him! I want a friend just like him!

One word I could say about Arnold is...He is a SWEETHEART! 😂

3 Gerald Johanssen

This guy is hilarious, it is also the black series, all copied her hairstyle is very Marge Simpson

He is the coolest guy on the series! I would love to have a friend like Gerald! He’s helpful, dependable, cool, and really nice!

4 Grandpa "Steely" Phil

"I've got duct tape and I'm not afraid to use it! "

Funniest character on this show, period. Arnold always goes to him for advice. Sometimes, it's good, but most of the time it's just not the kind of advice he was looking for; still makes for a good laugh though, and a lot of times, Arnold's able to make something out of it.

Phil is the man! - Yorkshire2001

5 Phoebe Heyerdah

I just Love Phoebe. She is just so awesome and the Episodes where Phoebe is a major Character are the best.

I don't know why but I always loved Phoebe growing up. She was just the cutest thing ever.

Phoebe is way better than most of the characters in the show and a far better character than Helga

I <3 her

8 Harold Berman Harold Berman

This kid is hilarious. I was gonna vote Arnold, but since this is kinda low, I gave this character some support.

I like Harold cause he has abig heart he's not really a bully(sometimes) he's just a big teddy bear

9 Stinky Peterson

"Aw gee! You mean I ain't in the top ten but that Oscar feller is? That really bites! "

Stinky is just the funniest character, he is amazing.

Stinky can be a bit rude at times, but he's still a nice guy so I think he's my favourite.

He looks exactly like me except he has a large nose.

10 Rhonda

Love rhonda, she's beautiful. Like her hair

Honestly, she just slays at life.

She's unlikable all because of the writers of Hey Arnold episodes so they just had to portray her as a snobbish jerk.

Rhonda is a stuck up brat - Yorkshire2001

The Contenders

11 Brainy

Loved the gag where Helga would punch him after he'd snuck up behind her.

The Derpy Hooves of 90s cartoons.

12 Oskar Kokoshka

Quote from "Weird Cousin": But he's an idiot! Oskar's one of my favorite characters and has the best laugh! Ehehehehe!

13 Eugene

I love Eugene. He's one of my favorite characters!

I always felt bad for him. - PeeledBanana

He's unlucky and gets hurt in every episode he's hilaripus

14 Mr. Hyunh

Best tenant of the boarding house. This guy was hilarious and had a lot of depth.

15 Lila Sawyer Lila Sawyer Lila Sawyer is a fictional character from the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon Hey Arnold created by Craig Bartlett. She's generally known for being nice and kind to her classmates which disgusts Helga Pataki. She also has a crush on Arnold's cousin Arnie. In the series she's revealed to be poor next to being ...read more.

I hate her. She's so darn annoying. Although I do feel a little bad for her, she's very poor.

16 Patricia "Big Patty" Smith
17 Thaddeus "Curly" Gammelthorpe

How come Curly's only here? He deserves to be WAY higher. He's hilarious to watch, completely insane, and just because he does the worst things, he's redeemed himself before. I especially like when he dumped Rhonda at the end of "Curly's Girl" because he realized what he was putting her through.

18 Ruth P. McDougal
19 Sheena

She’s the tallest girl and student in her class but despite not ever having an episode involving her she’s an extremely gentle, sensitive and caring girl.
