This episode begins with Arthur and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] are watching a commercial for a new toy called a Woogle. Arthur thinks this toy is dumb, but looks surprised when he sees that Buster already bought one.
This episode begins with Arthur and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] are watching a commercial for a new toy called a Woogle. While Arthur thinks this toy is dumb, but Buster already bought one.


Shocked that Buster actually bought one, he tried to make Buster think one of those things are dumb and useless. Buster is aware of this, but still thinks they are cute. Then [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] runs in and says that Buster's Woogle is the only one she didn't get.

Arthur thinks this whole thing is a joke, saying that none of those things are cool; Muffy says that Arthur just doesn't get it and walks with Buster. They begin talking about their Woogles, and leaving Arthur out.

The next day at school, Arthur was just about to tell [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] about the stupid Woogles when he sits on one of Francine's red Woogle and doesn't believe that Francine bought one too, she replies with why not, they are adorable!

Francine then tells Arthur he looks Woogleless and offers him one, but Arthur refuses to take it and says he does not need one of those stupid things.

When he is talking to [[Alan Powers|Brain]], thinking he doesn't have one until Brain shows him the Albert Einstein Woogle, he bought, Arthur gets annoyed. Later on, he goes to an unknown store and goes to buy a Woogle, but everywhere he goes, they're all sold out. Eventually he finds what he thinks is one, except it's actually called a Poogle.

Later on, he goes to an unknown store and goes to buy a Woogle, but everywhere he goes they're all sold out until eventually finding something called a Poogle.


He buys it immediately and shows his friends. When his friends say that the Poogle is a rip-off and not an actual Woogle, he gets sad. After that, Arthur is desperate to have a Woogle, so he tries to trick Buster into throwing his out so he can take it, but it fails.

Then when Arthur is alone sitting on the bench, Francine comes and tells him he can have one of hers and tells him to play with them, but first he has to say he actually really wanted them. However, he refuses to say that and says that a juice cap is a lot more fun than a Woogle. He then starts [[Bottlecap Clicking|playing with it]], and Francine says “Oh, yeah — like that old cap is more fun than a lovable Woogle.”

However, everyone else doesn't agree with her, as they're shown dropping their Woogles and going over to Arthur.
Concluding this episode, Grandma Thora gives him an orange Woogle for doing so well on his report card, but he says that juice caps are a lot more cool now and that lots of people have them.

Line 81: Line 63:
*Maria had a yellow [[Woogles|Woogle]]. Alex and Fern are seen stretching a yellow one on the playground, despite their Woogles being lime-green and purple, respectively. This could mean that Maria lent hers to them.

*This is the only episode when Robert Shedlowich is a storyboard artist.

*On current PBS airings, a small part of the signal bar for the [[ActiMates]] toys is still visible on the left side of the screen for approximately the first 90 seconds of the episode (until Muffy's line, "You got Bilbo?")
*At the end of the 2000 rerun intro on PBS Kids before this episode, Arthur’s crashing sound changes to pots and pans.
*After this episode, the Woogles continue to appear in other episodes. It’s possible that the students kept their Woogles but didn’t play with them anymore.
*'''Karma:''' Arthur didn't like Woogles, so he was the only one without it.
*'''Moral:''' Fads are temporary.
**Since Arthur learned fads don't last long, his cap fad won't last long either.
