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.
@@mrsshayful Hmm... I'm curious if that is because he just can't say "No" to Angelica or because he's afraid of disappointing/upsetting his older bro. Drew bullied him kinda hard when they were kids after all
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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
THIS Is Karma CURSING Angelica With ETERNAL BAD LUCK Though out The ENTIRE Series as an Act of REVENGE For her CRIMES In The “The Barbecue Story” Episode!”
I could never feel bad for Angelica I hated her as a kid She's legit the worst character in the whole show Nothing "good" she does erases her trash behavior Literally a menace
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.
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.
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.😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
[Offscreen Screaming from the Kitchen]: “NOO!!! NOT The Chair!! NOT THE CHAIR!!” - Angelica THIS Is Karma CURSING Angelica With ETERNAL BAD LUCK Though out The ENTIRE Series as an Act of REVENGE For her CRIMES In The “The Barbecue Story” Episode!”
The remade the last bit of "The Trial" episode in a short for the 2021 reboot. The short is titled: "The Lamp." More specifically, the bit that was used was when Angelica admitted to breaking the lamp and was punished after Didi and Betty heard her confess.
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.
I remember having this episode on vhs (orange tape) and always watching this episode on repeat lol I think liked it so much because Angelica rightfully got caught
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 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 them 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.
Strong Arming Witnesses bad testimony, false confession, the prosecutor being guilty the entire time, Guilty party breaking down and confessing. Another episode that wouldn't be out of place in Ace Attorney. Rugrats Attorney Turnabout Fluffles.
Finallyyyyyy, someone understands Kafkaesque and even used it correctly. 🎉 Kafka has fantastic literature. You should check out, “A Hunger Artist.” It’s creepy and it goes in depth about the “people pleasing” extremes we can so easily find ourselves within.
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
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.
@@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.
Monokuma: Now then, I've prepared a *very special* punishment for the Ultimate Brat, Angelica Pickles! Let's give it everything we've got! It's... *PUNISHMENT TIME!*
Dude your voice is so relaxing I like drawing while having your video in the background with candles on my days off Anyways as a kid Angelica always rubbed me the I grew to like her as an adult tho shes a very interesting antagonist lol
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
This is a weird and true phenomenon. When I was 6 and some family was 3, I could understand them clearly, while the adults couldn’t. Now that I am older, sometimes I have to ask older children what the toddlers or babies are saying. 😂
Back in elementary school, I had a gal that terrified me and caused me to have to be pulled because she wouldn't stop hittin me. She looked like Angelica, but without the pigtails too it was rather horrifying for someone like me (who didn't understand what I did wrong, but exist and keep to herself.)
I don't usually comment on your videos, but your channel has been a source of comfort for me. I've had an extremely rough year and my days are always a little better when I see you've uploaded. Thank you for your content and I hope you're doing well.
I'm currently 37 years old & never liked Angelica when I was growing up.😂 Every now & then, I call one of the females at my job, Angelica. It's funny how she responds when I say it.🤣🤣
Well drew did punish her in it's a wonderful chuckle, no dessert for a week is by far the worst punishment for chocolate lovers. As for angelica saying correcting phil and lill on the level terms on of my teachers played this same episode of rugrats and pointed it out.
Oh I loved this episode. Angelica was such a little brat in the early seasons. Thankfully they lightened her up but this was one of her WORST moments. They almost had creative issues because of how wicked she was!
@@byronrush9802 Hahaha! I used to wonder if they were having an affair! I mean she's ALWAYS on the phone with him! In the 3rd movie she almost jumped off the boat during a Tsuami and yelled "Jonathan!!!" when her phone went overboard! he needs to do a thoery about this, there's so much evidence of this!
You figure the babies would remember NOT to listen to her later on in the series, but they still believe her lies anyway >.< Drew maybe a spineless father, but at least he's not like Helga's dad that vile negligent monster who dares to call himself a man and a father >.
This just shows that the parents need to be in the same room with the kids. Not off drinking coffee in the other room. The lamp could have done more damage if it wasn’t for it being a cartoon.
Oh, those innocent days when I thought Angelica was just fiction and people like her don't exist in real life, how could anyone be that twisted. Then I grew up and met some narcassistic people in real life. Rugrats warned us 😂😮😂
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.
@@youtubeuniversity3638 not quite as not only has she mellowed by then but there’s also Savanna who is arguably just as conniving as Angelica can be at her worse but has _none_ of Angelica’s virtues, straight up setting a party of her own on Angelica’s birthday just to fuck Angelica over
@@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.
@@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
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.
A literal kangaroo court episode for kids! Also, if you're planning to (or haven't done it already) to get moving on that terrible Nicktoon Dads vid, I suggest you start with Big Bob Pataki.
Amazing video. Any plans on making a video on Angelica's Best moment? I can think of the moment when a she fought a bully at the playground to help the babies.
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.
@@stevensuarez4843 Eeh...Kinda the same. I get why people hate on Caillou and D.W. but at the same time, I feel like there are worse out there. Even worse than Little Brown Bear.
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.
It hit me near the end how silly it is that Shawn has beef with a 3 year old, cartoon character. I couldn’t stop giggling from the disappointment father voice at the end.
Worth noting that Angelica wanted to frame Chuckie before she even saw the lamp. It's just that the crime changed from vandalism to murder (granted, the victim was an inanimate object).
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.
it always kinda bothered me that Didi and Betty didnt question as to why Angelica was loudly bragging to the rest of the babies who, to them, seemingly cant talk or understand.
@@matveyxivan7159yeah I think we've all done that sometimes you talk to babies and they can kind of understand from your inflection if they don't quite understand the words
Yes. In the early seasons I can see why some fans of this show see her a brat. However, I would say that anywhere after season three those traits were toned down and that Angelica did evolve more as a character.
13:32 hey wait a minute: how does tommy have his judge robe... towel on but then immediately when the kids group hug the robe is gone, off his person and never to be seen again for the rest of the episode Edit: oh yeah and the "jerky" is still assembled too lol
As a adult Angelica is a clear example of a neglected child because all the adults in her life don’t give her the attention she needs and when children like her don’t get that attention they lash out and do bad things to get attention. Yes Angelica is spoiled and gets whatever she wants from her parents but when it comes to have quality time she is basically sidelined when it comes Tommy and the rest of the babies.
This is one of the few episodes of Rugrats I remember watching (I began imitating Angelica and it was VERBOTEN ever afterward, LOL) and it would actually haunt me a little. Just how mean and cruel Angelica was.
Drew DEFINITELY needs a video! He is the worst dad in Rugrats. Why aren't Angelica's parents strict? Why don't they lay down the law on Angelica for her naughty behavior?!
Knowing Angelica, I’ll never forget her first antagonist role when I first saw this episode. Other than that, it’s also one of the top 10 worst things Angelica Pickles has ever done.
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.)
Yeah, I never trusted her since the first episode, and how she could do such act ON HER OWN FAMILY MEMBER is completely cold hearted, like Gordon Ramsay once said, "You've just confirmed in my mind that you're not trustworthy, so f*ck you!!!!"
I still think that nearly destroying a grown mans life indirectly leading to a god damn robot kaiju fight in Paris that could have killed tons of people is worse 😂😂😂😂
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.
Stu has more of a spine than Drew. And he's the younger brother.
@@caffinejedi sociopaths are made not born, psychopaths are born
@@DianneRoberts722that is a bold statement bc Angelica had him cooking pudding at 4am 😅
@@mrsshayful Hmm... I'm curious if that is because he just can't say "No" to Angelica or because he's afraid of disappointing/upsetting his older bro. Drew bullied him kinda hard when they were kids after all
I find it funny that Angelica's punishment is portrayed as her getting the electric chair to go along with the court theme.
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
Yes I feel the same way
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
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
@ if you wanna call bribe Angelica with new toys as attention.
They do spoil her
@@Lildeadthing420 Yes, but he does it through materialism due to his guilt. She still doesn’t get his FULL attention.
even as a little kid, Angelica TERRIFIED me because of how mean she was
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?
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
Ohmygod that "Not The Chair" joke absolutely went over my head as a kid. Brilliant haha.
As I got older, I wished it was the ACTUAL chair
Forget the chair, my belt is what she'd have to be worried about is she was my kid
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.
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.
Judge Tommy is the goat, fair & unswayed by manipulation
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.

I could never feel bad for Angelica
I hated her as a kid
She's legit the worst character in the whole show
Nothing "good" she does erases her trash behavior
Literally a menace
Whenever I was told what evil looked like, I always saw Angelica as that. She was the devil to me as a kid, and I LOATHED her very existence.
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.
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.
I hate karma Houdinis
If they did that, Angelica would’ve got more hate than Caillou.
Glad they didn't, Angelica doesn't work if she can't be defeated
Angelica is so....EVIL when she was younger.
she had the potential to become some real villain time lol.
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.😂
Funny how Angelica mellows out when she gets older.
Isn't that normal?
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.

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.
I remember this episode and it was really upsetting. The way she treated the babies so badly and only cares about herself
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
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.

Age. She closer to them so she can understand them. Cartoon logic think like a kid
it's possible she can still babble- she's only like 3 or 4 in the series

Honestly one thing I think could be a good character study since I saw you did a few Fosters episodes:

This very episode is burned into my brain and i don't know why I don't think they aired it that often.
No one likes Angelica. However Helga is a fan favorite in the Hey Arnold fandom.
Helga is a bully with a lot going on her life. Angelica is just a monster with no remorse and no shame.
I always thought he'll go with creepy af
@@pastpatourshe's also 3 years old
@@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.
@@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
Angelica and sussie were the only characters that could talk to the babies and the grown ups like a bridge.
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.
8:24-8:44 Objection your honor. She's badgering the witness .
Two words:Kangoroo Court! lol
A literal kangaroo court episode for kids! Also, if you're planning to (or haven't done it already) to get moving on that terrible Nicktoon Dads vid, I suggest you start with Big Bob Pataki.
Amazing video. Any plans on making a video on Angelica's Best moment? I can think of the moment when a she fought a bully at the playground to help the babies.
Drew sure ain't Angelica's real father
Then who is?
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.
@@DianneRoberts722Jonathan Charlotte's assistant
@@byronrush9802 someone needs to do a theory video about this, i mean Charlotte is obsessed with him!
This episode is a timeless classic I loved it but gee Angelica was nasty and evil here
A lot of good points regarding her in the early seasons, especially this ep.
The episode where she stole Chuckie’s glasses is a classic! Very memorable!
I love that one
Alright, made it ! WHOO-HOO !
Angelica was the reason I never hated on Caillou and D.W. as a kid.
@@jenneacubero1036 how bout now?
@@stevensuarez4843 Eeh...Kinda the same. I get why people hate on Caillou and D.W. but at the same time, I feel like there are worse out there. Even worse than Little Brown Bear.
@jenneacubero1036 little brown bear? Never heard of him. I mean he can't be that bad as these characters.
Wow. Angelica's a jerk.
My Childhood.
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.
It hit me near the end how silly it is that Shawn has beef with a 3 year old, cartoon character. I couldn’t stop giggling from the disappointment father voice at the end.
Worth noting that Angelica wanted to frame Chuckie before she even saw the lamp. It's just that the crime changed from vandalism to murder (granted, the victim was an inanimate object).
grown up angelica probably becomes a killer nurse. like, what a fucking terror. the writers did such a good job making her a memorable villain.
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.
Chuckie thought Angelica was a pre-ONE PIECE Lapin?
it always kinda bothered me that Didi and Betty didnt question as to why Angelica was loudly bragging to the rest of the babies who, to them, seemingly cant talk or understand.
tbh ive seen kids in the real world do similar things to younger siblings who seemingly cant understand- kids are weird XD
@@matveyxivan7159yeah I think we've all done that sometimes you talk to babies and they can kind of understand from your inflection if they don't quite understand the words
Yes. In the early seasons I can see why some fans of this show see her a brat. However, I would say that anywhere after season three those traits were toned down and that Angelica did evolve more as a character.
I had to make sure I made time to sit and watch this one , love all your videos ❤
Aw, thank you so much friend! I appreciate that a ton :D
Spoiled and severely neglected emotionally. She emotionally eats cookies and abusee others to get the validation her parents denied her
She's not as bad as DW. But thats not a high bar
13:32 hey wait a minute: how does tommy have his judge robe... towel on but then immediately when the kids group hug the robe is gone, off his person and never to be seen again for the rest of the episode
Edit: oh yeah and the "jerky" is still assembled too lol
As a adult Angelica is a clear example of a neglected child because all the adults in her life don’t give her the attention she needs and when children like her don’t get that attention they lash out and do bad things to get attention. Yes Angelica is spoiled and gets whatever she wants from her parents but when it comes to have quality time she is basically sidelined when it comes Tommy and the rest of the babies.
This is one of the few episodes of Rugrats I remember watching (I began imitating Angelica and it was VERBOTEN ever afterward, LOL) and it would actually haunt me a little. Just how mean and cruel Angelica was.
Okay but for real Angelica would make a good lawyer.
The movies turned 26 & 24 years old, and Angelica really was being as mentally abusive as ever.
I am so proud for Cheryl Chase's great delivery.
Angelica pulled some Danganropa levels of manipulation in this episode
Drew DEFINITELY needs a video! He is the worst dad in Rugrats. Why aren't Angelica's parents strict? Why don't they lay down the law on Angelica for her naughty behavior?!
Don't forget to like this video... I mean. If you like the video.
Knowing Angelica, I’ll never forget her first antagonist role when I first saw this episode. Other than that, it’s also one of the top 10 worst things Angelica Pickles has ever done.
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.)
Agreed. And I say this as a parent. Kids can be asshole.
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
Yeah, I never trusted her since the first episode, and how she could do such act ON HER OWN FAMILY MEMBER is completely cold hearted, like Gordon Ramsay once said, "You've just confirmed in my mind that you're not trustworthy, so f*ck you!!!!"
Also the classic irony angelica accidentally says persecutor instead of prosecutor but the former is probably more accurate 😂
I can't say what Angelica is, but it rhymes with something you do on fourth down.
I thought you were going to say that it rhymes with a character from a beloved children's movie who's prequel is coming out this month.
I actually love him trashing Drew for something we don’t even see happen
This episode unsettled the shit out of me as a kid. It was so different and dark.
I still think that nearly destroying a grown mans life indirectly leading to a god damn robot kaiju fight in Paris that could have killed tons of people is worse 😂😂😂😂
