Stoop Kid is an episode in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.

SummaryEdit

Gerald tells the legend of Stoop Kid, a kid who lives on his stoop and harasses the passers-by without ever leaving. When Arnold proves Stoop Kid's afraid to leave his stoop, he feels sorry for him and helps him to overcome his fears. In the end, Stoop Kid leaves his stoop but continues to stay there and harass people on (and off) his stoop.

TriviaEdit

Stoop Kid is voiced by Danny Cooksey. He was the star of Nickelodeon's Salute Your Shorts and had a brief appearance in the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
Stoop Kid reads the book The Little Engine that Could which is a moralistic children's story. The book is used to teach children the value of optimism and hard work. However, some critics would contend that the book is a metaphor for the American Dream.
Stoop Kid also appears in the episode "Cool Party".
This episode spawned the Internet meme "Stoop Kid's Afraid To Leave His Stoop!"
Helga is absent for the first time in the series.
