Frankie after leaving Arnold stuck in the window

Frankie G. is a fictional character in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.

Appearance[]

He's a Fonzie-inspired cool guy who rides a motorcycle with flames painted all over it. He wears a black leather jacket, a pair of jeans with a hole on them, a white t-shirt under his jacket and a pair of black boots. His hair is styled in a pompadour.

Biography[]

In the episode "Cool Jerk", he is seen talking to Arnold after he saves him from getting beaten up by Harold, who is intent on maintaining a calm, detached manner when speaking to him. Considered cool by people of all kinds to the point of reverence, he takes a liking to Arnold, taking him for rides on his bike, giving him things and generally showering him with attention, which Arnold happily accepts despite Gerald's warnings. Frankie occasionally remarked on how cool the shape of Arnold's head was. However, Frankie turns out to be a more unsavory character when he takes Arnold out one night for a new kind of activity. He shows Arnold a shop window in the back of a store called Gene's Hi-Fi, which he wants him to get into. He reveals to Arnold that needs a new tweeter for his entertainment center (he possibly also intended to steal other stuff from the store like money), and that his keen interest in Arnold and his football-shaped head was merely business, as he'd been aptly identified by Frankie as the one person capable of fitting through the window of the place he and his cronies were attempting to rob. His plan is foiled when Gerald, using a hand crank siren, scares them away and gets Arnold out of the window he'd been forcibly stuffed in.

Trivia[]

  • Frankie G. is inspired by Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli from the hit show Happy Days.
  • Considering Frankie is mostly out riding his bike during school hours and has his own apartment, it can be implied that he’s a drop-out. It's also likely that he's past high school age, possibly in his early 20s.
  • Much like Arnold, he’s a casual listener to jazz.
