The Class went a trip to The Chocolate Factory and they went back to school early thanks to Chocolate Boy. Meanwhile Harold And Helga have to find they're way back to school. Also they stole a bike from the clowns. But Harold know where they were. Harold takes Helga and they went to "WRESTLE MANIA!". Mr. Simmons talks to Miriam about her daughter but the phone rings and she answered it. And tells Helga to have a great time. And Mr. Simmons faints. Helga apologizes Harold and Harold forgives her. And they both enjoyed Wrestle Mania. I give this episode 10 Perfect!!!

  • Excellent episode.

    9.6
    This episode was a good one because Arnold meets the Monkeyman in which was a good experience that he meet him because he told him many things and I liked when Arnold waits for him in the pier until he yelled and his yell makes me laugh every time I watch the episode and the way he dressed up formally he look sorta like Willy Wonka in which was the funniest part of the episode but I didn't liked when those guys beated up Sid and Monkeyman didn't rescue him but I liked when Monkeyman apologized and gave him his boots because it was a good part in the episode and when he went for dinner to Arnold's house it looked good because he meet people in which is a good thing in my opinion. The other episode I also enjoyed it watching it, specially the part when Chocolate Boy gets in the jar of chocolate in the factory looked funny and the way Harold stole a clown bicycle was funny also but they managed to return and see a wrestling show in which I liked that part because it was good and the characters enjoyed watching it in which I also like seeing the characters that way. In conclusion for being such a great episode I give it a 9.6 superb rating for my review.moreless

    • (after she discover a pay phone was near Helga and Harold)
      Helga: (to Harold) So how much money do you got?
      (Harold shows Helga two quarters in his hand) Enough for one call each. Hello, Mom! It's me, Helga! I'm stuck at the chocolate factory with a moron. The school bus left us here and we don't have any way to get back. Oh, please pick up, Miriam.
      (Helga hangs up the phone)
      Harold: (dials the pay phone) Hello? Mommy, it's me, Harold.
      Worker at Restaurant: I never heard of you! Don't call me again!
      Harold: (hangs up phone) Dialed the wrong number.
      Helga: Just brilliant. You don't even know you're own phone number.

    • Helga: Everything that happened today was your fault. You can't do anything right! Take the bus for example. Why do you think we missed it, Harold? Oh, let's see, hmm... maybe was it be because you were too busy eating twice your bodyweight in chocolate, num-nums! Oh, how about this one? Let's take the subway, I think it goes to Lincoln. Oh wait, no it doesn't, it goes straight to the bowels of the underworld!! Population homicidal, toothless, midget clowns!! I know, let's steal their bike, they won't mind. Now, you'd think that would be enough to fill any moron's day, but you're not just any moron, are you, Harold? You're the king!! Your day's just getting started. So, because of your amazing curiosity about the world around us, you pulled the plug out of the bottom of our getaway boat!!! You idiot.

    • Helga: (to Sheena's Uncle Earl) Hey Mister, wake up!
      Sheena's Uncle Earl: What? Who goes there?
      Helga: Can you give us a ride into town?
      Harold: There some crazy midget clowns that want to kill us!
      Sheena's Uncle Earl: Midget clowns eh? Arr!

    • Harold: Hey, look. The subway. We're saved!
      Helga: Yeah, great idea, genius. Only one little problem -- it costs money to take the subway, and we don't have any.
      Harold: Then we'll just jump the gate. No one ever gets caught. Come on! (gets stuck on the turn-style entrance)
      Cop: Hey! You two kids! Come back here!
      (Helga pushes Harold through, while they both run into the moving subway, eluding the cop)
      Harold: (relieved) Oh! (sighs) That was close. Oh, I think I'm going to be sick!
      Helga: "No one ever gets caught."

    • Monkeyman: MONKEYMAAAAN!

    • Harold: We're all alone! We'll starve to death!
      Helga: Get real, porky! You just ate half your weight in chocolate.

  • NOTES (4)

  • ALLUSIONS (3)

    • The title of this episode, "Buses, Bikes and Subways" is a parody of the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

    • Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
      The scene which shows Chocolate Boy swimming in a vat of chocolate is similar to Augustus Gloop swimming in a chocolate river from the 1971 movie, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

    • Monkeyman: Clothes
      After Monkeyman changes his clothes and washes his hair. His purple suit and cane, is reminiscent of Gene Wilder, the actor who portrayed Willy Wonka in the original 1971 film.
