Arthur - Arthur Punches D.W. (High Quality)

Credit goes to Chris B2000 on The Internet Archive for posting the high quality episode (alongside other Arthur episodes in high quality).

The highest quality version of the infamous punching scene in the Arthur episode, Arthur's Big Hit. No watermarks, no VHS deterioration, just the episode in it's original quality.

Arthur belongs to Marc Brown and PBS.

This video is probably going to get blocked in one country.

Don’t worry Arthur. More than 1, 000 people think you are in the right.

Arthur’s only crime was not punching hard enough to cripple DW

[JangoFett]

As the oldest sibling this is the most relatable thing ever

I love how the message of this episode fell COMPLETELY on deaf ears because the victim of the conflict totally deserved it.

Perhaps, if D.W. had apologized immediately after breaking Arthur's plane instead of making excuses, then he wouldn't have hit her. Why only Arthur got grounded and not D.W. is beyond me.

"We'll deal with what she did" she's getting comforted and carried around, and neither if you have acknowledged that she was provoking him

Earlier in the episode Buster said “you know being an only child isn’t so bad” 😂😂😂

the animators had no idea how the little fist shake at 1:23 would become such an iconic moment in history.

A lot of cartoons that we watched as kids take on a new perspective when we grow up. We siding with Tom instead of Jerry or Squidward instead of Spongebob. But Arthur giving DW the hands for being an annoying little brat is an evergreen moment.

[SnappyPlushProd]

I swear the only reason she cried was to get Arthur in trouble because a few seconds after she got punched she had a blank face and then started crying

[wolverinefangowings]

The internet is sharply divided on basically everything.

But we all side with Arthur in this episode.

It's really kind of beautiful.

I know the moral of the story is that you should be the bigger person and not do a wrong to punish a wrong, but honestly some people deserve whats coming to them.

Arthur gets sick and tired of D.W. annoying him. But when D.W. breaks his model airplane, Arthur has finally had enough of D.W. and began strangling and punching her.

*Arthur tosses D.W.'s glass Mary Moo Cow out the window*

D.W.: 😭

Arthur: "What? It's not MY fault you got a cow that can't jump over the moon!"

[superdupercomputer]

Poor Arthur. He got all the blame put on him

[crimsonite]

I’m on Arthur’s side with this one

My parents would have said, Arthur told you NUMEROUS TIMES not to touch it, in a way, you asked for it.

DW apologize to Arthur for breaking his plane
Arthur apologize to DW for hitting her

[baileychasteen]

And that's how the divide between siblings happens.

0:04 Congratulations, Arthur! You built the model plane!

[Stew]

An easy fix for this episode, would have a scene where Ms. Read comes into D.W.'s room and says that she's grounded for a week for breaking Arthur's plane. D.W. says it's not fair, and Ms. Read says that just like Arthur, she needs to learn that there are consequences. There - now both of them get equally punished. As for the ending, have the parents sympathize with Arthur getting hit by Binky, and tie it into Arthur hitting D.W. without the "Well maybe that's how D.W. felt when you hit her". Lastly, have Arthur apologize, but also have D.W. apologize genuinely, maybe even talk about how she will use her allowance money to buy Arthur a new plane. There's so much they could have done to fix this a good episode.
