Muffy Crosswire



Muffy Crosswire is an anthropomorphic monkey and a female secondary character from the American-Canadian children's animated television series, mh:besttvshows:Arthur. She is often considered one of the worst characters from the show along with D.W., the Tibble Twins and sometimes Francine.

Vomitrocious Qualities

 * 1) Her character is nothing more than just a stereotype of spoiled rich kids and the typical mean popular girl trope, she just cares about money and fashion and less about her friends and family.
 * 2) She is a huge jerk to her friends, especially Francine, as she treated her like a worthless creature that doesn't deserve any respect whatsoever in tons of episodes.
 * 3) * She even betrayed Francine's religion (Judaism) in "Arthur's Perfect Christmas" by saying that Hanukkah isn't as important as Christmas.  She does apologize later on, but that doesn't help the fact that she literally discriminated her friend based on her religion.
 * 4) * In the episode where she and Francine first met, she framed Francine for cheating on a test and got her in trouble. While she does later confess that she was the one who cheated, it still shows how much of a fair-weather friend and how shallow Muffy is.
 * 5) Unlike many other characters in Arthur, she received little-to-no character development in the series. Depending on your view, she was either at her worst in the earlier seasons, in the middle seasons, or the most recent seasons, or just stayed the same the entire series.
 * 6) Depending on your view, her voice can be somewhat annoying at times.
 * 7) Hypocrisy: She accuses other characters of being "rude", even though she's rude herself. For example, in "Water and the Brain", she says she can't stand snobby people, but then proceeds to make fun of Arthur's bathing suit by calling it "tacky." Then in "The Law of the Jungle Gym", she calls out the Tough Customers for being rude, even though she can be just as rude as they are.
 * 8) She bullied, harassed, and demonized Arthur on the internet in "A is for Angry" with false information, which is defamation and considered an actual felony. This means if she did this as an adult, she could likely end up in jail or pay a huge fine. Speaking of that episode, she doesn't even apologize to Arthur!
 * 9) She rarely receives any comeuppance for her behavior, and even when she does receive it, she hardly learns from it as she continues her rude behavior in later episodes.
 * 10) She made fun of Fred Rogers in the episode he guest stars in, saying his show is for "babies." She doesn't realize Mr. Rogers was one of the nicest guys ever.
 * 11) In the middle seasons of the show, she often speaks about celebrities and worships them, such as Nick Carter, Matt Damon, Michelle Kwan, Ming Tsai, and fictional celebrities like Derek Montaigne and Thunder MacDuff. While this can be a thing in real life, the way Muffy rambles on about them is really annoying.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Deep down, she does care about others and is sometimes shown to be nice to her friends. Unfortunately, her rudeness tends to be more prominent.
 * 2) Her design is pretty good and kind of cute to look at.
 * 3) She can actually be a little humorous at times.
 * 4) She does feel remorse at times.
 * 5) * She accidentally got a cherry tree cut down in her back yard, so she briefly became an environmentalist.
 * 6) * She used her money to buy Sue Ellen a journal in April 9th.
