* The 1992 episode "The Big House" is about Tommy being put into a daycare similar to a prison and he then attempts to break the rest of the babies out. One of the babies is voiced by Pamela Segal, and the episode was written by Paul Germain. Flash forward to 1997, where the plot of the episode becomes almost the basis for [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} Paul Germain and fellow writer Joe Ansolabehere's new Disney series, where Pamela Segal is one of the major characters]].
* In one episode, Chuckie comments that he was afraid of eating green Jell-O because it could've been alive. A couple of years later, Jell-O's slogan was actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68U58GrGt20 "It's alive!"]]
* In the episode "Garage Sale", Didi gets mortified when the kids stumble upon her and Stu's old disco memorabilia, and when Angelica asks her what "disco" is, she tells her that "It's something that happened a long time ago, and it's never, never coming back!" (which is currently the page quote for DiscoSucks). Years later, the pilot for ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' would revolve around Stu and Didi competing in a disco dance competition.
* In "He Saw, She Saw", Chuckie was hanging out with a girl who had an overprotective brother who, initially, refused to let Chuckie hang out with her. Chuckie later takes on this behavior with Kimi in ''All Grown Up'', freaking out with she starts hanging out with a bad boy and being upset over his best friend (possibly) crushing on his little sister.
* In "Unfair Pair", Angelica mentions how Phil and Lil are the only ones among the main characters who have siblings. Later on in the series, Tommy and Chuckie get a brother and a sister respectively, leaving Angelica the only one without any siblings. Additionally the episode "Angelica's Worst Nightmare" has her worrying about the news that she could possibly get a sibling, which is hilarious with the episode where she demands Drew get her a brother or sister.
* One later episode has Tommy and Chuckie meet [[Series/ICarly a tough girl named Samantha and a meek boy named Freddie]] respectively.
* In "Graham Canyon," Stu and Didi get on route to the Grand Canyon, but, after a wrong turn and a troubling time with the mechanics, they decide to go to the Clam Canyon (a waterpark and seafood restaurant), instead. In the ''All Grown Up!'' episode "RV Having Fun Yet?", the Pickles family finally go to the Grand Canyon proper.
* The scene where Stu orders 144 eggs, far more than needed for the cake he and Drew were making, becomes this when during the 2018 Olympics, due to a translation error, the chefs for Norway's team acccidentally ordered 15,000 eggs when they only needed 1,500.

* The episode "Sour Pickles" aired in 1993, and in it, Stu and Drew watch a show called "[[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Blocky]] ''[[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle and Oxwinkle]]''". [[WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland 17 years later...]]
* "Acorn Nuts and Diapey Butts" has Grandpa Lou say that he doesn't want to turn into a hippie. And a hippie is exactly what he becomes in [[WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021 the revival series]].
** Similarly in "Angelica's Birthday", he makes a comment about how the best year of his life was being at Woodstock, but then complains about how all those kids made a racket.
* A RunningGag was, whenever the babies' scheme or game or whatnot required coffee, they would just use mud ("This coffee tastes like mud![=/=]It IS mud!"). In 2018, Shane Heath released a drink made of powdered mushrooms and herbs marketed specifically as a coffee alternative. Its name? [[https://mudwtr.com/ Mud Water.]]

* Chuckie's ending narration says that things didn't go back to the way they were before because "thanks to baby Dil, they was even better!" The following seasons with Dil in the main cast were seen by many to be the start of the show's SeasonalRot (though the larger consensus is that it didn't completely jump in quality until after the EvenBetterSequel.)
* Angelica is watching a kid's show called 'Shirley Lock Holmes', apparently with a little girl version of Literature/SherlockHolmes. Come TheNewTens, [[{{Series/Elementary}} a female Sherlock is canon]].
* This wouldn't be the last movie scored by Music/MarkMothersbaugh to [[Film/{{ThorRagnarok}} have a climax where one of the main characters fights a wolf on a bridge while protecting some people on the said bridge]].
!!!''WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis''
* In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, the phone call Kira (voiced by Tânia Gaidarji) has with the groggy Stu (voiced by Élcio Sodré) can now come across as quite amusing, as years later, Gaidarji was cast as ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'''s Gemini Paradox, who notoriously had unreciprocated romantic feelings for Dragon Shiryu, also voiced by Sodré.
* Stu's remark about online dating websites being "the future of dating" appears to have aged better than expected, as seen with the rise of dating apps like Tinder.
* The film was released in the year 2000, and considering its many {{Take That}}s towards the Disney corporation, it's interesting that it didn't premiere in February against Disney's own ''WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie''. While the two play out in vastly different ways (for one thing, [[spoiler:Chuckie actually gets the new mother he was looking for, whereas Tigger's story concludes on a more status-quo-compliant ItWasWithYouAllAlong note]]), they're both CharacterFocus stories where [[ADayInTheLimelight a character who usually is in a supporting role takes the lead]] and goes on a pursuit for family.
* [=EuroReptarland=] was a bit of a TakeThat to what was then known as the Euro Disney Resort (a foreign theme park based on popular children's characters that was out of touch with Parisian culture). Compare that with the turnaround that the real [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland Paris]] has experienced since the film came out, which has become one of the most popular destinations in Paris due to bringing more Parisian culture into the park.
