The twenty-fifth episode of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''.

* AnAesop: Too many sweets are not good for you.

* FiveStagesOfGrief: Chuckie is shown going through the Five Stages of Grief (a.k.a. the Kübler-Ross model) when Melville dies. This includes '''denial''' (Chuckie first keeps denying Melville is dead and vainly tries to awaken him), '''anger''' (Chuckie is angered when the others try to tell him Melville is dead, and that the "replacement bug" is really a snail), '''bargaining''' (Chuckie attempts to show that Melville is fine by having him perform in a "circus"), '''depression''' (Chuckie finally realizes Melville is truly dead and cries over it), and finally '''acceptance''' (Chuckie starts laughing at Melville's funeral, remembering all the good times he had with Melville, showing he has now accepted his pet bug's death).

* BalloonBelly: Angelica's stomach swells up due to her eating too many cookies. She appears to measure about 7.5 inches from her back to her stomach before she eats them, and 10 inches afterwards (the episode ''Reptar's Revenge'' reveals that she's about 3 feet tall).

* IAmNotWeasel: Melville is a pill millipede, and millipedes are actually myriapods (like centipedes) rather than insects. When Melville dies, his two pairs of legs per body segment are clearly visible (he has eight body segments besides his head, which means that he has 32 legs altogether; insects have only three body segments, and their three pairs of legs emanate from their middle segment, the thorax). Also, not all insects are true "bugs" (for instance, aphids, treehoppers, cicadas, and giant water bugs are true bugs; butterflies, grasshoppers, beetles, and cockroaches are not). However, myriapods and insects belong to the phylum Arthropoda; earthworms belong to the Annelida and snails belong to the Molluska.

In the episode ''The Alien'', when she and the babies are doing a series of tests to find out if Chuckie is an alien, she suggests that they do the "belly button test"; when she lifts up her dress for this, she appears to be almost the latter size (about 32 inches around her waist).

* LooseLips: Chuckie can't keep his big mouth shut when he unwittingly mentions to Tommy that he shouldn't tell Angelica that the cookies were underneath Grandpa Lou's bed. This what prompts Angelica to start running to the exact location where the cookie jar is.
