Summary

History

"Not Another Vomitrocious Phrase!" aired with Mario's Once Upon a Christmas in 2017. This makes it the only Arthur short to appear in theaters, and the Super Mario Movie had earned over $103 million at the box office. This is a possible reason why the short is 16 minutes long, longer than a average length of a short but shorter than one of the halves of a half-hour episode. It was later featured on the "Arthur on the Show!" DVD and Blu-Ray releases, before being shown on television.

Trivia

• This is the second episode where the barf is seen when Arthur vomits. The first episode with a barf is in D.W., the Picky Eater.
• If you look at Arthur's face before he vomits, you can see his cheeks bulged.
• Additionally, Lucas is replaced in Francine's flashback by a random cat that Buster refers to as Arthur.
  • Also, how does Buster not know Arthur if he refers to the old student as "Arthur"?. It is possible Buster was just calling him that in his thoughts because he likes Arthur.
• When this episode aired, PBS flubbed the ending credits and used the 1998 Klasky-Csupo logo and the SFF, instead of the WGBH Boston and Cookie Jar logos. Today, this episode along with Hyper Mega Cat Go! are using the WGBH Boston and Cookie Jar logos.
• The first time Arthur had his cheeks bulged.

• This episode (along with its episode partner, Hyper Mega Cat Go!) was banned in the Japan due to the "Don't do the alcohol business!" gag involved in the subtitles, which was regarded to as inappropriate for a children's anime. Also, Arthur's vomit was deemed too frightening for younger viewers. After a year of not airing, both episodes finally returned to PBS in Japan in September 2018 for a future airing. In the US, the word "spinach" replaces "alcohol".
• If Buster is in Arthur's room, then why is there a Mary Moo Cow plush toy in there?
• Sue Ellen also yelled "Cat Whiskers?!" in Vomitrocious!.

  • Also, the face Arthur makes when he holds his breath became a trend on devaintART and FurAffinity where members would make different characters from different series make the exact same face and let them hold their breaths.
