* Angelica saving the babies from Josh, also doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. "They may be just a buncha dumb babies, but they're '''my''' DUMB BABIES!"
** Hell, Angelica protecting the babies generally; if you fuck with the babies without her permission it will not end well.

* From the ''All Growed Up'' TV special, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdtzIJ_CKwY Emika's Song]]. The titular pop star invites Tommy and Angelica to sing with her, and the lyrics perfectly describe the cousins' rocky, yet undividable bond.

added some more context


* The song sung between Tommy and Angelica during the ''All Growed Up'' TV special, as it shows clips of all the adventures they had as infants. Considering this was going to be the grande finale of the series, it was pretty poignant.
** What really sells it is that the montage shows Kira bonding with Chuckie after a clip of Tommy promising Chuckie to get him a new mother and some clips of Dil after the clip of Didi announcing her pregnancy at the end of "The Family Tree".

poignant, and a perfect way to celebrate a decade of one of Nickelodeon's finest.

No meta moment.


* Meta example: After Chuckie's first voice actress Christine Cavanaugh died in 2014, [[Creator/NickRewind The '90s Are All That]] aired a marathon of episodes that centered on Chuckie in her memory.
** After news first broke of Christine Cavanaugh's passing, Creator/EGDaily (voice of Tommy) made a brief tribute post to her official Twitter account by simply saying "So long old friend."
** Creator/TaraStrong also made a similar twitter post by sharing of screenshot of Chuckie and Dil Pickles from ''The Rugrats Movie''.

* Tommy deciding not to abandon Dil with the monkeys in the movie. While on paper that doesn't seem like much, since abandoning your brother with the monkeys is obviously wrong, the way it's played out makes it genuinely heartwarming. He's been finding Dil annoying due to his crying and inability to do much, so he covers him with bananas and decides to abandon him with the monkeys... but then, he decides that he doesn't have the heart to because they're brothers.
-->"My Tommy"

* A comic strip (Whether or not it's canon to the show is debatable) showed Chuckie standing on a crack in the sidewalk. Angelica asks him what he's doing, and Chuckie says "Step on a crack, bring your mother back". Angelica is about to call him a fool because it's ''break'' your mother's back, before she realizes [[WhamLine what he said]], and then stands next to Chuckie looking up at the sky saying, "See anything yet?"

** The episode in general counts, because Tommy wanted Dil to play with them and their walking "Follow Me Reptar". But he was also protective of Dil; while the babies were coming up with ways to motivate him (a cookie, arguing, fear of clowns) and the adults were excited of the prospect, Tommy wanted his brother to learn at his own pace. In a GenerationXerox moment, Dil sees Tommy walking by like as mentioned in Tommy's flashback, and tried climbing up to walk and play with him. [[SubvertedTrope He fails]][[note]]Though it isn't just a StatusQuoIsGodMoment-- babies can't learn to walk at three months[[/note]], but Tommy, knowing this, assures him again he doesn't have to walk and that he'll be close-by whenever he does want to play. True brotherly love.
