History Awesome / RugRats

* Reptar destroying Viacom's headquarters. [[NotMakingItUpDisclaimer No, seriously]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqpVOsurEIs that actually happened]].

* Um, hello? How about Reptar destroying Viacom's headquarters. No, seriously, that actually happened.

* When Didi once had to take Tommy with her to the high school where she teaches, a chain of events led to Tommy instigating a food fight by accident. Amid the chaos, a JerkWithAHeartOfGold tough guy gets everyone to stop fighting momentarily so he can get Tommy out of the crossfire. When he safely has Tommy out of the cafeteria? "Continue."

* An earlier awesome moment from the same episode (titled "Little Dude.") The whole reason Tommy was at Didi's school was so she could teach her home ec students to diaper babies. Yet none of her students want to try. Rocko, the said JerkWithAHeartOfGold, walks in late and changes the diaper without flinching (note Tommy was carrying a full load). When Didi thanks Rocko, he casually explains he's used to this kind of thing because his little brother is Tommy's age. [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]] indeed.

--> '''Chaz''': (absolutely furious) LOOK AT YOU! DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! While you were insulting each other and bringing up every petty difference from your past, you've forgotten about your children, the most important thing in your insignificant lives! You ought to be ashamed!
--> '''Howard''': Charles is right. Our behavior's been absolutely disgusting. I'm a failure and I've let everybody down while I should be--
--> '''Betty''': Yeah, yeah. Whine later, ya' little man. We gotta find the kids!

** Another Angelica moment occurs in "New Kid in Town." When Angelica realizes another, bigger kid is bullying the babies, she goes after him with a homemade [[BuffySpeak "caterpult,"]], a wagon and water balloon launcher. Her CrowningMomentOfAwesome comes with the line, "They may be a bunch of dumb babies, but they're ''my'' dumb babies!"

*** An extra point to Santa, for telling Angelica that ''trying'' to be good is as important as ''being'' good. It's probably one of the only times she's ever heard that message.
*** Said Santa also managed to be somehow aware of Chuckie's arc, and gently hands him his present to help him get over his phobia of him.
-->'''Santa:''' Merry Christmas, Chuckie. Still think I'm scary.
-->''*Chuckie smiles*''

** In one episode, Angelica tries to sabotage Susie's talent show act by hiding her tap shoes. Susie expertly turns the routine into a comedy show, sliding around the stage in sock feet and being laughably clumsy. [[spoiler: She also wins the talent show.]]

** And later when he tries to get in her face she shoves him down causing him to scrape his elbow. She yells at him not to mess with the babies again as he runs off crying.

* The scene in "Ghost Story" where the babies in Angelica's ghost story encounter Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina in ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters''.

* Chickie working up the courage to go down ''The Slide'' in the eponymous episode, thanks to Susie.

* In "Rebel Without a Bear", Tommy gets upset when Didi takes away a soiled stuffed lion, so he gets led by Angelica to become a BrattyHalfPint like herself, under the guise that he'd get the lion back. Throughout the episode, Tommy trashes the Pickles home, with Chuckie trying to stop Tommy, only to be shut up by Angelica. Until towards the end, when she tries to make Tommy throw one of Didi's necklaces away, when Chuck finally stands up for himself and Tommy, telling Angelica to back off.

* Rugrats being the first cartoon to ever do a Passover special.

* The scene in "Ghost Story" where the babies in Angelica's ghost story encounter Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina in ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters''. Well this troper thought it was awesome that crossover happened!

* One Toystore episode, openly admits at the end that they have an actual working time machine for sale. (Demonstrated as a large robotic gorilla ends up in Colonial Times) HOW COOL IS THAT!?

** Chazz Finster, of all people, gets one in the same episode, 'Family Feud'. The Pickles and the [=DeVilles=] spend the entire episode hating and insulting each other with poor Chazz stuck in the middle and unable to make them calm down and reconcile. Near the end, the babies wander off (as usual) and when the families do nothing about it but start fighting more, Chazz finally snaps and [[WhatTheHellHero calls them on their childish behavior]], bringing them all to shame and ending the feud.
--> '''Chaz''': (absolutely furious) Look at you! Don't you see what you've done?! While you were insulting each other and bringing up every petty difference from your past, you've forgotten about your children, the most important thing in your insignificant lives! You ought to be ashamed!
