[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is explaining what his own book of world records would be like. [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] is in it for playing the drums the loudest. [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] is in it for telling the most jokes. [[Alan Powers|The Brain]] is in it for saying the most things that Arthur doesn't understand. [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] is even in it for watching the most reruns of ''[[Mary Moo Cow]]''. Because Arthur blocks the screen while D.W. is watching, she calls [[Jane Read|Mom]] who tells him to come here, After that, she explains she holds a world record for getting Arthur in trouble for the most times.

[[File:504-1.png|thumb|right|The Book of Incredible and Amazing World Records]]At the treehouse, Arthur presents a world record book to his friends. He thinks that together they could break a record. He reads some of the records, and his friends picture themselves breaking them. They all set off and try to break one of their own. The Brain tries to make the most inventions, [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] attempts refrain from speaking the longest, Francine tries to kick a soccer ball non-stop, and Buster plans to walk backwards the longest.

At [[Reads' House|Arthur's house]], he is making a house of cards. He imagines himself in fame for building the largest one. He prevents D.W. from entering his room. She slams her bedroom door and Arthur's card house falls.

[[File:The-world-record.png|thumb|right|The Worlds Biggest Pizza]]
 
The following day, things are not going as planned while making 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 they have brought many volunteers with them. Together they finish the pizza, and start eating it.

==Trivia==

*This is the first episode to use the Big Bird Foot title card.
*Technically, there is no world record for the longest time not talking because mute people go their whole lives without talking.
*Technically, there is no world record for the longest time not talking because mute people go their whole lives without talking.
*The pizzeria featured in the And Now a Word from Us Kids segment following this episode is Kosta's Pizza & Seafood, located in Needham, Massachusetts. It is still in business today, and still looks largely the same as it did on ''Arthur''.
*The [[And Now a Word From Us Kids]] segment from this episode was reused on some reruns of "[[Sleep No More]]" because both episodes involve pizza.
*'''4th wall break:''' In Arthur's imagination, there is a building with the [[AKOM]] logo on it (AKOM is the South Korean animation studio that provided the overseas animation for the first eleven seasons of ''Arthur'').
 
*'''Running Gag:''' D.W. tattletaleing on Arthur.
*'''Moral:''' Not every record can be broken. At best, attempting them (whether met with success or failure) should be done for fun.
===Production notes===
*When the hose sprays sauce on the pizza, [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] is heard saying "woah." This line is delivered by her voice actor from Seasons 1-3, [[Michael Caloz]], instead of [[Oliver Grainger]].
===Errors===
*The lines on the bottom of [[Arthur Read|Arthur]]'s shirt move in one scene when they begin to work on the pizza.
===Episode Connections===
* [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] actually imagines making the world's biggest pepperoni and cheese pizza in [[Arthur vs. the Piano]].
* [[Nadine Flumberghast|Nadine]] has the hiccups in this episode, similar to [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] having the hiccups in [[Arthur vs. the Piano]], and [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] having the hiccups in [[Hic or Treat]].

*This is the first episode referencing the man [[wikipedia:Charles Osborne (hiccups)|Charles Osborne]], the world record holder of having the longest period of hiccups. He hiccupped for 68 years. The second episode that references him is Season 11's "[[Hic or Treat]]."

*The record of the man who walked around the world backwards that Buster attempts to break was true. [[wikipedia:Plennie L. Wingo|Plennie L. Wingo]] walked all the way from Santa Monica to Istanbul, Turkey from 1931-1932, although not entirely around the world.

*This episode has almost the same plot as the ''Hey Arnold!'' episode "World Records" (made three years earlier). In both episodes, the main characters try to break a world record until they settle down on making the world's largest pizza-related dish, with the only difference being that Arthur's attempt at a giant regular pizza is successful while Arnold's pizza puff fails. Both episodes also have a character unsuccessfully trying to break the record for walking backwards. (in said episode, Buster)
