Now that I'm 31 I feel like Angelica is jealous of tommy due to all the attention he gets from his parents, because her parents are always working and sort of ignore her

[@tawnie9204]

Yes I feel the same way

[@the-nina-beans88]

That most likely the reason. Possible that Didi and Stu looked after her as a baby and when Tommy ( If we go by the premature time line) was born all that extra attention was focused on him which had Angelica feel neglected. And thus takes it out on the babies

[@Lildeadthing420]

That would make sense BUT drew gives her plenty of attention so it seems like it's more about how she's coddled and spoiled

[@the-nina-beans88]

@ if you wanna call bribe Angelica with new toys as attention. They do spoil her

[@JuniperMoonshine]

@@Lildeadthing420 Yes, but he does it through materialism due to his guilt. She still doesn’t get his FULL attention.

[@ChaserNeos]

Angelica is a case of what happens when you spoil your child and not set boundaries. Not helped by a go-getter mother who is often busy and a spinless father.

I Angelica might also have been born a sociopath.

Absolutely the most funniest meme out there 🤣🤣🤣

[@PhoenixBorealis]

That's some adult humor that you don't catch as a child.

[@schlamuffenimperator9460]

"Is she going to jail?" "No! Not the Chair! Not the Chair!" Just when I grew older I noticed how dark this joke was.

[@ADTribalChild]

@@schlamuffenimperator9460 Thankfully, I was very desensitized about dark undertones as a kid, so I got it immediately back then. And trust me, you don't want to know what shows or movies my parents let me back watch back in the 90s. Sorry, Mom and Dad.

[@strawberryskygirl44]

even as a little kid, Angelica TERRIFIED me because of how mean she was

[@oooh19]

I thought she was awful but she definitely made the cartoon interesting but you wouldn’t want to be around her as a child

What do you mean even as a child? As in you’re still afraid?

[@AricaPrater]

If I knew chuckie who is a scardy cat a lot. Angelica is a total nightmare due to a lack of sel and character education she had as a baby and her parents are never home very often due to work. Believe me i know this.

[@skepticcritic4995]

Hmm, badgering her witnesses and using manipulative tactics to cover her own crimes.. Wow Angelica is over qualified for the American legal system Great review as always Shawn! BTW, like the use of Donkey Kong Country 2 in the background

I could see her succeeding surprisingly well in politics

[@silversugar2140]

Ohmygod that "Not The Chair" joke absolutely went over my head as a kid. Brilliant haha.

[@natedeanmaan2]

As I got older, I wished it was the ACTUAL chair

[@countryboy9377]

Forget the chair, my belt is what she'd have to be worried about is she was my kid

[@Savagewolver]

Maybe it’s because I watched The Goofy Movie prior to watching this episode, the principal warning Goofy of Max one day ending up in the electric chair always stuck with me for some bizarre reason, but that was one of the few adult jokes from the show I got at the time.

[@tierefuerimmer9635]

​@Savagewolver I never understood that as a kid and as an adult I was like " Jesus! Max is a teenager not frigging Ted Bundy! How is that principle not fired

[@kidprime6863]

Fun Fact: Originally, they wanted to make Angelica a permanent Karma Houdini. But the others decided against it, so this episode is the first time Angelica gets punished in the series.

[@0b13F4st3]

Glad they didn't go through with making her a full-on "Karma Houdini". Because I always find it very satisfying whenever Angelica gets in trouble at the end of certain "Rugrats" episodes.

[@akganimationstudioproducti3779]

I hate karma Houdinis

[@MrEmpoleon2010]

If they did that, Angelica would’ve got more hate than Caillou.

[@Black_Revue]

Glad they didn't, Angelica doesn't work if she can't be defeated

[@e-122psi3]

This isn't the first time Angelica gets punished, but it is one of the earliest most glorious cases of her getting her comeuppance. I feel like the show generally got the good balance with her, USUALLY giving her what she deserved to keep the show from getting too mean spirited, but having odd times she didn't to show karma won't always hit. Most of the cases she got away were also kinda funny too, see Pickles vs Pickles. You wanna see Nick fully realising the Karma Houdini setup for Angelica, watch Megan in Drake and Josh.

[@tipjrjr326]

Judge Tommy is the goat, fair & unswayed by manipulation

[@e-122psi3]

Yeah, it felt like the whole setup counted on Tommy being too blinded by heartbreak and vengence that he'd buy into Angelica's cover up, but he was a surprisingly competent judge who analysed everyone's alibi's and circumstances fairly.

[@Chimeragui]

@@e-122psi3 I get the feeling that this episode is responsible for Tommy being more levelheaded in subsequent episodes, particularly the tricycle episode given that he learned firsthand that not every accusation has pure intentions behind it and that the desire to enact justice hampers the critical thinking needed to prevent an innocent person from being potentially harmed Now obviously Susie doesn’t have a history of lying & was the victim herself and it was Angelica who was being wrongly accused rather than his best friend but Susie placed herself as Angelica’s judge, jury and executioner just as Angelica had done towards the twins and later Chuckie Like even in Susie’s position as the victim, Tommy has enough restraint and self awareness to recognize Angelica was being too aggressive in her accusations and intervene whereas Susie was in full eye-for-an-eye hanging judge mode

[@e-122psi3]

@@Chimeragui What gets me in BOTH episodes is that when Tommy seems to have finally seen undeniable proof Angelica was guilty, he only sounds sad and disappointed, like he thought there were lines even SHE didn't cross. It feels like in both cases, he didn't want to imagine ANY of his friends or even Angelica were guilty, so wanted to analyse the whole scene and see if there were at least some outside forces responsible. Even Chuckie himself was VERY unwilling to play executioner in Tricyle Thief, even trying to bring the balloon back down after the guilty verdict. Impressive on him given Angelica framed him up in this episode (even once again turning down Phil and Lil as patsies because Chuckie is her favourite punching bag).

[@akganimationstudioproducti3779]

You gotta give Chuckie credit Even if he did want to break the lamp out of fear, he couldn’t because he knew how much it meant to his best friend

[@grimphantom99insaneenderma85]

[@Zacman1123]

Funny how Angelica mellows out when she gets older.

[@DamonAkuma92]

Isn't that normal?

[@pastpatour]

It would be very hard for us to buy teen Angelica being as mean as she is as a little kid without any consequences. Terrorizing babies when you're like, 4 or 5 is a thing, but doing that to your peers in middle school would get you in serious trouble.

[@Savagewolver]

Maturity is a thing. Just because her parents let her get away with stuff didn’t mean the world at large was going to. Plus, I’d like to think having Susie as her foil mellowed her a bit as their friendship grew.

[@rebel365ful]

Yeah and them Hands. You can't pick on someone who knows how to fight later on in their life.​@@pastpatour

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Simply because she isn't physically imposing and most people would physically brutalize her if she tried to pull that shit with them

[@ADTribalChild]

One of the handful of episodes where Angelica gets her comeuppance that leaves a big smile to my face. Still, looking back at Phil screaming "no" and Chuckie crying this episode hurts more than I remembered. To say this is the worst thing Angelica has ever would be an injustice, but blaming and badgering the babies... [sighs] I'm gonna chill. Great recap and breakdown!

@@ADTribalChild and the very first episode where she actually gets in trouble for her heinous actions, of course. After her behavior in the Barbecue Story, the episodes that followed during the first season where she does heinous, yet receives comeuppance in some form were pretty mild to some degree, but here, she receives karma BIG TIME, and for the first time on the show, too.

[@gamerdude612]

Which is why it was easy for Susie to believe Angelica could have stolen her bike this normally her deal so mean and evil to the babies.

[@supersonicmario56]

And in spite of how everyone knows how much of a liar Angelica is, it's SUSIE that gets a bad rap in that ep. despite being completely justified in doing what she did. Even near the end Angelica reconfirms this when she says how she's not a tricycle thief, even if she's mean and a bully. As if having standards justifies being a jerk. A bully/jerk with standards is still a bully/jerk. You shouldn't be a bully or jerk at all.

[@Chernobog2]

​@@supersonicmario56Susie was justified in initially suspecting Angelica, but she wasn't justified in taking it upon herself to punish her. At the end of the day, Angelica didn't steal the tricycle, and she shouldn't be punished for a crime that she not only didn't do but didn't happen in the first place since the tricycle was never stolen, only moved without Susie's knowledge.

[@aidanhever3369]

As the old saying goes, "The parents are to blame." Drew is a spineless dork and Charlotte is a negligent snob. Which is why Angelica is such a rotten person.

[@InvaderWeezle]

I think a lot about how Betty and Didi apparently heard Angelica talking to the babies. It raises a lot of questions as to how Angelica talking to them works

[@Skitskl33]

I guess the assumption is that 3 year olds are a transitional age from babies to child or something, which makes them magically bilingual with baby talk and normal English. Would have been a big help to the adults if they knew 3 year olds could actually communicate with babies, but a running gag in the show is how obtuse the adults are.

[@MadroxMonoxide777]

[@balanc-joy9187]

I love that Angelica getting found out, and her punishment for what she did in this episode, is almost entirely self-inflicted. If she hadn't insisted on a trial, the babies would've stayed confused and either wouldn't have found out in time before her Dad picked her up that day, or at least it would've taken longer and Angelica might not have started gloating and given herself away.

[@waters228_91]

One thing's for sure, Stu was a better father to his child than Drew ever was to his.

[@marcustrice3246]

Ya damn right! Even Stu didn't have a steady job and was childish at times he was a better father to Tommy and Dil and even spent time with them. Drew on the other hand was a workaholic and spoiled his daughter to make up for not bonding with her.

@@marcustrice3246I agree

[@hilarywitt]

I love watching this when we’re older and realize when Didi puts Angelica in the high chair and she’s screaming about not the chair is a reflection to the electric chair.😂

[@DSdemon767]

Tommy was mad and demanded to know who broke the lamp but he was level headed enough to listen to everyone’s story. He even defended chuckie from angelica’s pressuring. Tommy still has moments of anger but it rarely gets in the way of his good nature. And those moments never last. There was an episode where angelica pushed tommy too far and he made an anger fueled wish. When they thought angelica turned into a statue (Drew had it made as a gift to Charlotte) he was immediately on his knees in regret

[@byronrush9802]

Oh yeah the statue episode that was pretty good

[@balanc-joy9187]

Another time she pushed Tommy too far was in the _Family Tree_ episode when she basically manipulated Chuckie into causing trouble that was blamed on Tommy, all for a petty reason, and Tommy outright YELLED at Angelica about how this was all her fault and SHE would be the one to fix what she did.

[@DSdemon767]

@@balanc-joy9187 oh yeah. Tommy yelled for Angelica to climb a tree to get Chuckie down (he was in the bushes). She started this because Tommy and Chuckie started calling each other brothers and Angelica got jealous. Tommy yelled at Angelica that it impressed Phil.

[@e-122psi3]

Also the episode where Angelica manages to influence Tommy to be a bad kid like her when he believes Didi took away his plush lion. It works for a while but when Angelica tries to pressure him into taking the final step and destroying something precious to her, he can't do it, it's crossing the line for him. Helped by Chuckie playing 'good angel' there.

[@Jessie670]

This episode is a prime example of Angelica being a spoiled, rotten and uncaring brat. What did Charlotte and Drew expect, when they allowed their daughter to walk all over them? You made a fantastic point about Drew being a spineless, pathetic loser who never gives limits to Angelica. How he doesn't see her bullying her one year old cousin and his friends, I don't even know. Say what you want about Stu and Didi, but at least they have taught Tommy good morals and actions. Even when I was a child, watching this show on the orange VHS tapes I owned, I dreaded it, whenever Angelica came on screen.

[@Hanako-Kun-t9b]

Okay but for real Angelica would make a good lawyer.

[@the1magageneral323]

Angelica should have been punished more. Still this episode shows who can hear her and who can't.

[@Ozzygirl17]

First, credit to Cheryl Chase (voice of Angelica) for her performance. Second, I find it funny Phil and Lil got a word in context correctly. Third, episodes like this really influence Chuckie’s character, and it makes me want to hug Chuckie; poor kid already has enough problems without Angelica being mixed in. Fourth, Charlotte’s the most to blame for Angelica’s behavior. There’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment in “Rugrats in Paris” where Drew questions Charlotte about Angelica basically watching “The Godfather”. If you think about it, Charlotte may have allowed her to watch court room shows/movies. I’m not a parent, but even I’m thinking “Who lets their 3 year old watch stuff like that?” Drew is passive yes, but Charlotte is plain negligent.

[@Mechaghostman2]

I think the moment she was about to drown all the babies in the pirate episode is probably more evil.

[@Knightfall-Batman]

You made some very good points in this video; however, personally, I think the worst thing she’s ever done is tell Chucky that everyone will be a lot better off without him in that episode where she steals his dad’s CD, and Chuckie runs away, only be stopped by his guardian angel, to see what the world would be like without him

[@wolfgang1097]

At least at the end of that episode, Angelica definitely got in trouble with her father, at least. You know, that part when Drew brings her over to the Finster's house to make her apologize to Chuckie's father, Chaz, for stealing his (Chaz's) CD, and then forbids her to have any dessert for a whole week, much to her chagrin.

[@Rikrobat]

Angelica was always a frustration for me growing up with this cartoon. She was always so cruel, which stood out more because the other babies were kinder. But mostly, I disliked her parents more. Absentee, workaholic mother and an overly doting and pretentious father who acts like he’s better than everyone else (which his daughter definitely picks up). This episode certainly emphasized how mean-spirited and manipulative Angelica is.

[@DianneRoberts722]

No one likes Angelica. However Helga is a fan favorite in the Hey Arnold fandom.

[@pastpatour]

Helga is a bully with a lot going on her life. Angelica is just a monster with no remorse and no shame.

[@lahlybird895]

I always thought he'll go with creepy af

[@lahlybird895]

​@@pastpatourshe's also 3 years old

[@AshChiCupcak]

​@@pastpatourI feel like Helga also had more depth as a character. You get to really see her home life, how her mom is always drunk and how her parents idolize her older sister, and how that reflects on her as a person. Even with bullying, she still has redeemable qualities and does actual nice things for others on occasion and feels regret when she's gone too far. Angelica just feels cold cuz she's never sorry. Tbf, children don't develop empathy until around 5-7 years old so she may genuinely not feel bad because she can't understand what it feels like to others when she does what she does. And not having the same love and attention the other kids may have had left her mentally underdeveloped in her way act around and treat others. Or I could be over thinking a childrens cartoon but isn't that what we're here for lol.

[@byronrush9802]

​@@AshChiCupcakyou're not wrong considering Drew was competing with his wife and always failing, and they were always pawning Angelica off on his younger brother and his wife, so when she got to see a loving family she relished it she was finally getting the attention she needed then Tommy was born, most of her mean streak comes from a lack of attention and lashing out because of jealousy over the relationship the babies have with their parents that she doesn't have with hers, all her parents really think about is buying her toys that's the way they show love and affection, a good example is the favorite child episode

[@PixiePrincess501]

Looking back after watching through the years, Angelica has actually gone through some (albeit minor) character development. Her worst episodes were all mostly from the early seasons. (Plus, she usually didn't get off scot free, about 99% of the time she had a good case of "Hoist by their own petard", which gave a sense of justice after whatever she did in those episodes.) Also, if going by the fact that she was punished with no dessert for a week after stealing Chaz's CD, she probably didn't really get ice cream when Drew came home. Also, after betraying Chuckie in the Paris movie, she did realize her actions were going to result in Chuckie with Coco as a very abusive mom, so she not only helped get to the wedding before the "I do", she also let Coco's boss know EVERYTHING that Coco was plotting. She was a frustrating antagonist from the start, but as I said, she mellows out a bit as she gets older, and even her parents start to realize she's become problematic and actually try to give her better attention and discipline in the later seasons.

You should do the All Grown Up episode where Suzie is scammed by a "talent agent." That episode stuck with me since we learned about those kinds of scams in Girl Scouts, yet it wasn't till adulthood I realized how lucky Suzie got.

[@tawnie9204]

Oh she gets worse. Keep going with this.

[@MTTT19]

One Rugrats episode I always found fascinating is “Farewell, My Friend” While it is a good lesson on friends learning how to agree to disagree and how hard some friendships can be, especially when two people can be polar opposites. It also highlights how Tommy is sometimes a bad friend to Chuckie by being somewhat manipulative himself by making him do things that he’s uncomfortable with or that are down right dangerous.

[@jenneacubero1036]

To be fair to Drew, he did punish Angelica in the "Meaningful Life" episode with her not getting dessert for a week. Then again, I starting to wonder if that punishment stook.

[@Knightfall-Batman]

Why would you be even getting dessert every day in a whole week? That just another one of the many things that shows how spoiled she really is.

I think there are two details that I noticed that wasn’t mentioned. First is at 2:35 of the video. When Angelica entered the room the face of the broken clown lamp had what looked like a frown and eyes looked like it was looking at her in almost a worried expression which gave a clue that she was the culprit. As for the chucky crying at the beginning, along with him being sympathetic while giving a slight red herring that he could have done it, but I think the crying also is guilt because he’s holding back the fact that he wanted to do it but feels bad that he felt somewhat responsible for wanting it to happen and shortly afterwards the lamp did in fact break

[@KatelynJewel]

I still think telling Chuckie the world would be better without him in "Chuckie's Wonderful Life" is still the most evil thing Angelica ever did, but this is definitely a runner up.

Angelica being able to understand and communicate with both the babies and the adults made her quite the antagonist of Rugrats, taking advantage of the fact that the two are oblivious or ignorant to the other's intentions and often warps the reality of the situation. Quite the crafty one, but to take advantage of your own cousin is what makes her truly nasty.

[@mylamename14]

Angelica reminds me so much of a childhood friend I had during the early years of the show. She was a menace & always bullied me, something I didn’t recognize until I grew up & cut her off by the time we hit middle school. It’s almost eerie how perfectly Angelica displays the same bratty, mean, entitled, diabolical behavior that [redacted] did. No wonder I loved the show so much! I identified with the babies on a level I couldn’t even conceptualize yet.

Children don’t need lots of sugar anyways. Don’t enable obesity! My parents loved giving me sugar as a child lest it be considered neglect and now I’m getting up every day hoping I’m making choices that will give me better health. Set your children up to have good health at a young age. No junk food!

Instead they get beheaded. No really, a woman in China was beheaded because she held someone’s suitcase. The suitcase had drugs in it and she didn’t even know.

[@ceilingfen9878]

Kids can inherit things from other people down the line, she could have just inherited different traits from different family members (or ancestors down the line). That or Charlotte takes advantage of Drew's spinelessness and makes up a shitty excuse not to punish Angelica. One of the two.

Back in the day, I knew kids whose parents wouldn’t even let them watch the show because of how evil she was. I thought that was pretty stupid, because it’s not like the show portrays her behavior as something to be emulated, but in retrospect… yeah, she’s pretty friggin’ evil. There’s even a scene in the broken leg episode where she’s laughing at someone getting shot on TV. 🤣 I still don’t think I’d worry about my kids imitating her, but I might be screening episodes before letting them watch (at least in the early seasons, when she was at her worst) to make sure there was nothing too scary in them.

[@BroDogg07]

Apparently a majority of the people here believe that Angelica never redeemed herself. But I disagree, she’s just a little kid and her parents are probably a part of making her this way. Disrespectful and rude. And she deserves a second chance. (Even if she’s a psychopath.)

[@Delbel_Giggles91]

Agreed. And I say this as a parent. Kids can be asshole.

[@matveyxivan7159]

oh for sure, that's why in all grown up she has an entire episode humbling her, she will probably be a much better adult then she was as a 3 year old

[@TheShredtube]

The worst part is: the kids get smart enough to not do it around the parents, so they seldom pick up on hints. That's why I loved when Charlotte went in on her after stealing the cake with Dil in Partners in Crime

I love the Halloween/ Michael Myers homage when she put on the bunny mask. It really underscores her psychopathic tendencies. I watched an interview with the voice actor of Angelica and she actually revealed that theres a stark contrast between season 1-2 Angelica and later iterations. Apparently there were concerns from executives that they made her character tooooo mean and that it could have an adverse impact on impressionable audiences.

3:06 Ok… so Did Stu learn glass crafting to make a lamp… Or Did he buy one at the shop and claim he made it for Tommy. It’s kinda an odd line for Didi to claim Stu made the lamp but Betty says there’s one just like it at the store.

[@the-nina-beans88]

12:18 I think the worse damage a lamp could get by hitting carpet could be a crack.. but that depends on how soft the carpet is.
