History Fridge / Rugrats

** Also, during that same episode, Susie tries to console Chuckie by saying "Angelica let go of the balloon" (which was tied to Cynthia's leg, as Susie's way of punishing Angelica for stealing her tricycle). She says "Angelica let go of the balloon the minute she opened my daddy's shed and stole my trike." As she says this, she gestures to the shed, and then to "her" tricycle (the one Angelica claimed was her own). [[spoiler: The camera pans from the shed to Angelica's tricycle, and between the two, you can actually see that Susie's tricycle is underneath her porch.]]

* In one episode, Chaz mentions that there was a lot of screaming when Chuckie was a (younger) baby. However, he doesnt mention from who, meaning the screams could've been from his dying wife suffering through whatever disease killed her.

* In the episode "Toy Palace" there is a real, working time machine, set up as a ChekovsGun for the episode. In the Rugrats universe, not only is time travel possible, it's meant as a toy for children.

* Angelica's parents spoil her and while Drew has a backbone at times, he still gives in. He finally punishes her in "Angelica Runs Away" and Angelica is seen being punished more often after this. It serves as a CrowningMomentofAwesome and CharacterDevelopment for Drew.

**** There is a [[MySuperSweetSixteen whole show]] that basically captures it.

** Actually, Dil can talk, just not much. Remember, in the movie he says "mine" while fighting with Tommy, says "my Tommy" at one point, and then once randomly says "pooping" while, well, you know...

*** He wasn't kidnapped on purpose. He crawled into their grocery bag. Also, they were crazy old biddies. They did decide to keep him though so they're not completely blameless.

* The episode "Chuckie's Wonderful Life" shows that without Chuckie, Chas is a mess, living alone in his house surrounded by empty pizza boxes and talking to a sock puppet. It gets even worse when you realize that he had to live through watching his wife contract some form of terminal illness and die from it without Chuckie there to focus on. And since he didn't have a kid, he wouldn't be close to the other parents and therefore would have no friends to help him through his wife's illness and subsequent death.
** This troper remebers Angelica has a MAJOR obsession with cookies and has always wondered, what if Angelica continued her cookie habit? This would make Angelica the poster child for childhood obesity (as seen in "Chuckie's Wonderful Life") and Childhood diabetes. However by the time ''AllGrownUp'' occurred Angelica didn't seem to gain any weight, meaning she must've somehow kicked the cookie habit.

* If the NostalgiaFilter hasn't fully fogged up your vision of past cable cartoons, try watching ''{{Rugrats}}'' now in a world where everyone is much more careful when it comes to the safety of children. [[SocialServicesDoesNotExist Shudder at the many instances of neglect. Gasp at the fact that the only thing saving the babies from being crushed, burned, exposed to the elements, abducted, starved or permanently traumatized was dumb luck or their dim-bulb parents eventually realizing they were missing.]] It's like the Nickelodeon execs said, "You know, ''RenAndStimpy'' was too gross and bizarre and ''{{Doug}}'''s too boring. [[HumansAreBastards Maybe kids will get a kick out of child neglect and psychological trauma, but we'll hide it under a veneer of adventure and comedy so the]] MoralGuardians [[HumansAreBastards won't get on our asses about it. Then, we'll run it into the ground for ten years and make]] [[AllGrownUp a spin-off]]!" I mean, what would've happened if the parents were too late in realizing where the babies were whenever they went off somewhere? One must also consider the many instances in which Angelica plays on the babies' naiveté and paranoia in order to torment/scare them, for fun or for profit. And considering this happened to them while they're still quite young, what negative effects could this have possibly had on their mental health?
