The World Record

Summary
Arthur and his friends attempt to break a world record by making the world's largest pizza.

Plot
Arthur is explaining what his own book of world records would be like. Francine is in it for playing the drums the loudest. Buster is in the book for telling the most jokes.

The Brain has his spot in the book for saying the most inunderstandable things to Arthur. D.W. is even in the book for watching the most re-runs of Mary Moo Cow.

At the Treehouse, Arthur presents a World Record Book to his friends. He thinks that together they could break a record.

Arthur reads aloud some of the records, and his friends picture themselves breaking the records. They all set off and try to break a record of their own. Brain tries to make the most inventions, Muffy attempts refrain from speaking the longest, Francine tries to kick a soccer ball non-stop, and Buster decides to walk backwards the longest.

At Arthur's house, Arthur is making a House of Cards. He imagines himself in fame for building the largest structure of playing cards. He prevents D.W. from entering the room. D.W. slams her bedroom door and Arthur's card house falls.

Meanwhile, Muffy and Francine have both kept their records for 2 hours. Buster runs into Francine, making her lose the ball. Muffy also speaks to Buster. Buster walks backwards to Binky's house, where he is making the largest Popsicle stick bridge. He is sick from eating the popsicles.

At Arthur's House, Arthur is preparing to break a Bug Eating record. Francine and Muffy arrive and request a new record to be broken. Arthur suggests they make the World's Largest Pizza, and Muffy and Francine agree.

Brain has made a Flying Lawn Sprinkler. Unfortunately, the plane the hose is attached to accidentally flies over everyone getting them wet. The plane crashes. They all organize the cooking of the World's Largest Pizza, and soon everything is planned.

Everything has been readied, and the cooking will take place the following day. At dinner, Arthur is worried something will go wrong.

The following day, things are not going as planned while baking the pizza. Muffy, Francine, and Binky leave for a break. Arthur is beginning to think his idea will be in the record books for "the biggest flop in history." Francine, Muffy, and Buster have arrived, and with them they have brought many volunteers. Together they finish the pizza, and start eating it.
