History Awesome / Rugrats

* In "Ice Cream Mountain", Stu and Drew go to a miniature golf course, with the promise of a free game for getting a hole-in-one on Ice Cream Mountain. What they don't know is that Ice Cream Mountain is actually rigged so that [[UnwinnableByDesign nobody can actually get a hole-in-one on it]]. The babies go into the Ice Cream Mountain strucuture believing there's actual ice cream in it, and they end up uncovering the exit of the structure that allows balls to get holes-in-one (while also plugging up the holes that lead to losing the hole) under the mistaken belief that the ice cream might be behind the opening. They don't find their ice cream...but they ''do'' end up [[SpannerInTheWorks causing Stu, Drew, and many other customers to get holes-in-one and thus free games]], [[BreakTheHaughty reducing the greedy owner of the course to tears]]. Almost as if it's a KarmicJackpot for exposing the scam (though more because Angelica was bored to tears and really wanted ice cream for waiting so long), the babies are treated to actual mountains of ice cream afterwards.

** Angelica spent the majority of "Word of the Day" being blamed for something that wasn't her fault. She is able to unknowingly stage a PublicEngineeredConfession to reveal Miss Carol is in fact the one who taught her the curse word she had been saying all episode.

* Normally when Tommy gets mad at Angelica he is firm in tone but quick to back down. Not so in "Family Tree". Thinking Chuckie climbed a tall tree so Tommy can have Chuckie's family all to himself (thanks to a standard baby misunderstanding and Angelica's lies) Tommy demands Angelica help. When she laughs and dismisses this Tommy first the first time in the series becomes ENRAGED at her, marching at her and growling at her that she WILL do it because this is her fault. Angelica actually leans back in FEAR and Phil and Lil can only stare in shock at how angry Tommy is.

---> '''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!

---> "They may be a bunch of dumb babies, but they're ''[[MamaBear my]]'' dumb babies!"

* "Ten Pin King" has Lou go head to head with an old rival in a bowling match. The babies end up unwittingly sabotaging the guy's attempts to cheat. Lou, not be the least bit surprised that his opponent was playing dirty, delivers a TranquilFury dressing down, and vows to finish the game anyway on fair terms. Despite the large handicap from so many sabotages beforehand, one scene cut later, Lou has won.

* In "Hello Dilly", Dil turns Angelica's preschool into a war zone as payback for Angelica stealing him from his home. He even gives a SlasherSmile when he poops in his diaper. The combined sight and smell causes Angelica's teacher and her classmates to flee. To top it off, Dil falls asleep when it's just him and Angelica in the calssroom.

** Drew does this in "Angelica Runs Away" by sending Angelica to her room after he catches her making a huge mess in his home office.

** In "Chuckie's Wonderful Life", Drew displays TranquilFury after he discovers that Angelica stole Chas's CD. He forces her to apologize to Chas and denies her desserts for a week.

* Drew punishing Angelica in "Angelica Runs Away."
** Similarly the usually distracted Charlotte disciplining Angelica in "Mommy's Little Assets". Her potential clients are so impressed by this they give her a contract.

** Not to mention [[spoiler: ''saying his first word.'' A BigNo, specifically, and a pretty good one at that]].

* At the end of "The Santa Experience," Angelica [[spoiler: reverses her twisted GiftOfTheMagiPlot trick she played on Phil and Lil.]] Extra points because she tried so hard to make things right before Christmas.
** An extra point to Santa, [[spoiler:as in the ''real'' one]], 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. [[spoiler: [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Though given the lump of coal he leaves in her gift,]] [[LaserGuidedKarma it also shows she wasn't entirely off the hook for her actions.]]]]

** Coaching Chuckie through his fear of the slide in the eponymous episode, including giving him his SurvivalMantra of "I'm a big brave dog." Extra points when she [[spoiler: wins the bet that Chuckie will conquer his fear, and thus gets ''two'' pudding pops off Angelica.]]
** In "And the Winner Is...", 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.]]

** Similarly the usually distracted Charlotte disciplining Angelica in "Mommy's Little Assets". Her potential clients are so impressed by this they give her a contract.
