1 Arnold's last name was hinted at throughout the series, but never revealed until "The Jungle Movie." So what is his surname?
Answer: Shortman.

This is shown when Arnold signs his passport for the class trip. In many episodes, Grandpa calls Arnold "short man." The wrong answer "Bartlett" refers to Craig Bartlett, the show's creator, who said in a 2016 interview that the boy's full name is Arnold Phillip Shortman, and confirmed that the last name would be revealed in "The Jungle Movie." The fact that Grandpa calls Arnold "short man" is a pun on his name, and a reference to the fact that Arnold is shorter than the other kids, while "Football Head" is Helga's nickname for Arnold.
