* HiccupHijinks: To get rid of Tommy's hiccups, Angelica builds a scare machine using various items she finds around the house. However, since she's a three-year-old with no experience building machines, and the scare machine was cobbled together by random debris, as soon as Angelica turns it on, it falls apart on top of her. [[spoiler:Although Tommy was cured of his hiccups, it was because he was scared that Angelica was hurt after the "machine" fell on her.]]



* HiccupHijinks: Tommy gets the hiccups in this episode, and at the end, so does Angelica.

** When Chuckie tells Tommy that giving apple juice to a tree that isn't an apple tree is like giving bird food to a goldfish, Phil and Lil suddenly realize that they weren't supposed to do that, which is how their pet goldfish got sick and eventually flushed down the toilet.

The second episode of the fifth season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''.

'''Hiccups'''

When Tommy gets a bad case of hiccups, the other babies try to scare them out of him.

'''Autumn Leaves'''

The babies think the trees are sick when they shed their leaves, so they try to put the leaves back on the trees.

!! "Hiccups" provides examples of:

* ChekhovsGag: At the beginning of the episode, Angelica finds a spider, which Stu traps under a bowl. Angelica later decides to use it as part of her scare machine.
* HereWeGoAgain: After curing Tommy of the hiccups, Angelica now has them.
* HiccupHijinks: Tommy gets the hiccups in this episode, and at the end, so does Angelica.
* ItKindOfLooksLikeAFace: In an unsuccessful attempt to scare Tommy, Angelica, disguised as the Boogieman, shows them what looks like a severed head. When Phil and Lil open the door, what looks like the severed head is revealed to be a bowl of spaghetti.
* PumpkinPerson: Angelica creates a "scream machine" to scare Tommy's hiccups away. The "machine" has a humanoid shape, and a Jack-O' Lantern decoration forming the head.
* SpidersAreScary: At the beginning of this episode, Angelica is frightened by a spider near a bag of cookies. This causes Stu to spill his popcorn and set this episode's plot in motion.
* SprayingDrinkFromNose: When Tommy tries to drink from his bottle while he has the hiccups, milk squirts out his nose.

!! "Autumn Leaves" provides examples of:

* ClothingDamage: After Stu believes the Leaf-Lifter to be malfunctioning when he sees the yard still filled with leaves (thanks in part to the babies taking the leaves out of the bag), he kicks it in frustration, and it sucks off his jacket and tears up his shirt and tie.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Chuckie becomes too queasy to drink his apple juice, and he spills it on the tree. Just afterwards, the babies notice how the leaves in the tree aren't green anymore, and believe that Chuckie made the tree sick.
* GreenAroundTheGills: Chuckie's face turns green when his friends remind him how sick he was the previous day. Chuckie then suddenly becomes to queasy to even drink his apple juice.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Chuckie feels bad when he believes that he made the tree sick when he spilled his apple juice on it, and feels even worse when he and the other babies' attempts to make the tree better result in the tree losing all of its leaves.
* NoodleIncident:
** Chuckie is said to have had a cold before the events of this episode.
** Lou mentions to Didi that Stu tried to wrap his trees in plastic a year before this episode's events to keep the leaves off his lawn.
** When Chuckie tells Tommy that giving apple juice to a tree that isn't an apple tree is like giving bird food to a goldfish, Phil and Lil suddenly realize that they weren't supposed to do that, which is how their pet goldfish got sick and eventually flushed down the toilet.
* ShaggyDogStory: On their way to the park, the babies find out that Chuckie didn't make the tree sick after all, and that shedding leaves is just something that trees do in autumn, so they didn't have to try to make the tree better after all.
* SickEpisode: A downplayed example; Chuckie is not actually sick, but had a cold before the episode's events, and he also believes the trees, which are changing their leaves, to be sick.
