Rugrats (Western Animation) - TV Tropes. Early Installment Weirdness: The . The first season on the other hand is a way starker show about a largely- silent Tommy (and occasionally some of the other kids) being brought to some new building (the hospital, the post office, a child psychologist, a baseball game, the movies, etc), wandering off from his parents and accidentally getting into all sorts of trouble without them noticing, only to return to them unharmed at the end of each episode and leaving the building with them as it descends into chaos.
To go along with this, a couple classic episodes explicitly mention Chuckie's mother, making it unclear whether she and Chaz are divorced, she's deceased, or what. In a few of the earliest episodes, Angelica can be seen wearing a diaper under her dress. In earlier seasons, the authors were more likely to throw in random bits of weirdness, such as the toy time machine that actually traveled through time, or the Mister Edknock- off who could actually talk. Neither of those things had anything to do with the episodes they appeared in.
Eat the Camera: Several episodes end with such a shot. It's usually often done with Angelica and Chuckie.
Sometimes it may happen at another point in the episode (usually when a character is screaming or crying.) However, . An unusual one occurs earlier in . Stu pranks Drew in response, leading to this exchange: Drew: Stu, I couldn't get to work this morning because someone had my car towed! Stu: Oh, and I suppose I wore my disco suit to work today just for kicks, huh?! Drew: I don't know what you're talking about. But I think you do know something about the fifty pizzas I got the other day!
Even Evil Has Standards: Angelica in . She then tells him to finish it off by throwing Didi's favorite necklace in the garbage. He refuses (with some coercing from Chuckie). Evil Is Petty: Angelica can sometimes fall into this. Like when she convinced Tommy, Phil and Lil that Chuckie was an alien just so she could have the playhouse to herself. She also learned that Susie thought she was going to have to move, and the babies were doing their best to keep it from happening.

When Susie gave Angelica her Malibu Cynthia beach house toy as a sort of parting gift, Angelica attempted to keep the babies from helping her stay.. This convinced Angelica to help keep Susie from moving (although she was upset when Susie took back the Malibu Cynthia beach house because of it). Evil Laugh: Angelica's is particularly obnoxious and cruel.
Explain, Explain.. Oh, Crap!: From ? Drew: Yeah, they sure did. Some people just..
Where are the kids? A delayed- reaction example takes place in . It takes place during an Imagine Spot where the babies are all characters from the famous Moses and the Ten Plagues story. Angelica plays the hard- hearted Pharaoh in this retelling, and interestingly she's still her child self, rather than an adult. Of course she refuses to let Moses' people go even after most of the plagues, so eventually God gets to the last one, killing off the . Angelica laughs it off at first.. Her father explains that since Angelica is an only child, the firstborn would be her!
Her father doesn't know about the coming plague, but the implications certainly sink in for Angelica, whose reaction is this trope. Expressive Mask / Latex Perfection: The ultra- realistic Reptar suit in . The costume mentioned above had a zipper in the front that disappeared once it was fully zipped, and Reptar's mouth actually moved perfectly with the man in the costume's voice. In the Season 1 episode .
Tommy is a charismatic leader who goes on strange adventures with the help of his trusty screwdriver. Sounds familiar? A few daleks have even shown up in the background. Watch The Bad Seed, then watch any scene with Angelica and deny the similarities between her and Rhoda. Family Theme Naming: Brothers Stu and Drew are the sons of Lou. Phil and Lil De Ville, who also have a teddy bear they've named . From the perspective of the babies, not so much using their imagination, but trying to comprehend the big grown- up world, the ordinary, boring and mundane.. Chuckie ends his friendship with Tommy after a disastrous adventure and subsequent nightmare.
He quickly changes his mind soon after. I never saw that movie.
Howard: I don't really like musicals. Stu: IT ISN'T A MUSICAL, YOU IMBECILE!!
Didi: Stu! Don't yell, it's just a game! Stu: Then why do I always get teamed up with Howard? Howard: Just a minute.. And it only took you fifteen seconds. Howard: That's it! I don't need to take this! I'm gonna go home and, and..
I've had enough of this stupid game anyway! She succeeds when a young doctor gets . She ended up calling Cogs Unlimited, and after some persuasion, the employee told her she was on the bad list. Five- Man Band: Portrayed in the original commercials; the twins aren't mentioned but presumably count as one entity since they are, after all, twins. Flanderization: Not the characters themselves(this is a long runner that cleverly avoided this trope for the most part), but the baby talk. In the seasons after the movie, the baby talk is amped up to 1. Chuckie's character as the baby that's afraid of everything is actually a case of this.
In the first few seasons, he's merely the Only Sane Man - who would typically say . He then later merely became afraid of clowns before that morphed into him being afraid of everything. Flash Forward: The episode that inspired All Grown Up! Fluffy the Terrible: Angelica's Right- Hand Cat. For Inconvenience, Press . Lipschitz hotline for advice on how to deal with said phase. A recorded message from Dr.
Lipschitz picks up her call, giving her instructions to wait to press the right button. When she reaches . Another episode has Stu visit a pet shop to get Tommy a new pet after Spike gets lost. There are several animals stuffed into the cages, including an elephant, a full sized shark, a cat sized slug, and a praying mantis the size of Angelica. What kind of pet shop is this?! Anywhere there could be, there are- the supermarket, the movies, the doctor's office, etc.
Look what comes out of Howard's drawer. Drew in particular is attempting to become business partners with Paul, and when he introduces Angelica.. Drew: Angelica, say hi to Uncle Paul. Angelica: My daddy says your show is the biggest gravy train in town! Paul: I beg your pardon?
Bonus points that Paul Gatsby is a character of the show's co- creator Paul Germain. Fun with Flushing: The pilot episode had Tommy inspecting the toilet to find out what it does. He accidentally ends up flushing some toilet paper and making a mess in the bathroom, causing the toilet to overflow.
He also flushes jewels down a toilet while he was kidnapped by robbers. Another episode had Angelica scaring Tommy and Chuckie by saying they'll get sucked down the drain (After an incident where Tommy accidentally loses one of his toys this way) whenever they take a bath, and throughout the episode they try to find ways to get out of it, which includes flushing anything bath time related down the toilet. Ironically, she accidentally flushes her own doll, Cynthia, down the toilet. The plumber recovers it, but the doll is ruined. In yet another, the parents take the kids to the pool, which they assume is a gigantic potty. The whole episode revolved around them trying to find the flusher, and trying things such as the high dive and the sauna thermostat (when they do the latter, they accidentally lock the moms inside). As an added bonus, we get to see him go through the pipes, screaming the entire time.
Generation Xerox: In . Drew as a toddler is essentially a male version of Angelica, with some of Chuckie's characteristics (though he doesn't sound like Chuckie very much.)George Jetson Job Security: In the episode . Jonathan, Charlotte's assistant, neglects to keep an eye on the kids (which all the adults do at least once an episode), and Tommy and Angelica get away and roam the building. Charlotte immediately fires him after she finds the children, even going as far as to tell Jonathan to call security on himself.
He's re- hired at the end of the episode, with a promotion. To Jonathan's dismay, it's not a Vice President position— it's supervisor of Merge Corps' daycare center, starting with watching Angelica.
Angelica. A recurring example: All of the parents, especially Didi and Chaz, rely on the help of a renowned child psychologist. There was an entire episode dedicated to showing that he had absolutely no clue how to actually handle the presence of a human infant, meaning every bit of advice in all his books is a load of crap. The psychologist's name? Lipschitz.. Think about it..
The Ghost: Jonathan, Charlotte's assistant, whom we only ever heard about when she was talking to him on her cell phone. He was finally revealed in an episode where Charlotte had to take Angelica & Tommy to work. Charlotte herself was a ghost for much of the early run of the show. She was mentioned in passing, but appeared onscreen for the first time in .
Similarly to Jonathan, Charlotte is heard talking to a Mr. Yamaguchi in a handful of episodes including . Grandpa Lou's brother Sparky. Eventually, in the middle of the night.. Angelica: Uncle Stu, I want some chocolate pudding.
Stu: It's three o'clock in the morning, I'm tired, and we don't have any chocolate pudding. Angelica: (attempting to guilt- trip Stu) Oh! OH, the pain! In the episode .

Barefoot Cartoon Animal - TV Tropes. For the record, the dragon doesn't wear shoes either. Funny Animals have differing levels of clothing, sometimes even between different characters in the same work.
You've got your Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animals, who are basically naked except for one or two token items. There are also Half Dressed Cartoon Animals, who wear a shirt or pants, but not both. There are even Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals who have complete outfits. And then there's the subject of this article—cartoon animals who are almost fully clothed by human standards, but who, for whatever reason, go barefoot (or bare- pawed, if you want to get technical). Here are some possible reasons. The trope may be Justified by the characters having hooves, large claws, or oddly- shaped hind paws which it would be difficult for shoes to accommodate.
Tolkien's hobbits, or are from a civilization that Does Not Like Shoes. These may also indicate that the funny animal who wears them is particularly wealthy. His wardrobe includes a hat, vest, and jeans, but no shoes (or shirt). He holds his jeans up and tips his hat while saying . Although Scratch, the Danimals XL wildcat was the one who wore shoes, at least one commercial featured him barefoot in board shorts. Bongo the monkey would later alternate between this and fully clothed in his solo appearances.
Turkey, from the self- titled line of turkey products, was known for being . Max has made appearances on the Miko Motta Max brand ice cream in France as well as the Streets Paddle Pop brand in Australia and New Zealand. He wore typical '9. Teddy has for his new outfit a blue and white striped T- shirt with blue jeans. He was known only as The Buzzard.
Fox featured a whole town of anthropomorphic foxes (and one cat) that were fully clothed, except for a lack of shoes. Majority of the supporting animal characters added wardrobe as well, with Crong the dinosaur being The One Who Wears Shoes. The titular character from Destroyer Duck. Even when the heroes are wearing their uniforms, in later designs their toes are uncovered.
Fritz himself is a Half- Dressed Cartoon Animal. More recent incarnations of the character have appeared fully clothed with shoes. Tawny wears a green checkered jacket, necktie and dark slacks.
Later incarnations includes a pair of shoes as well. There, several characters go barefoot, including a fair portion of the main cast (Rotor, Bunnie pre- and- post- roboticization, Dulcy, Nicole when in furry form, even Tails when he was very little) and a great deal of minor and background characters (Rosemary Prower, the alien Ceneca- 9. Sonic the Comic had a few instances, as well. Official, straight- from- the- game characters generally end up as the ones who wear shoes in all cases, albeit not the only ones.
However, another barefooter, a Fish Person named Coral the Betta, was introduced later on, in issue #2. Sonic Unleashed adaptation. The Lizard's usual outfit consists of a tattered lab coat, a black shirt and purple pants. Fox, with the exceptions of Kris, Coach Skip and the Beaver's unnamed son. The panda villagers in Kung Fu Panda 3 are particularly notable, as they make the main character Po just about the only panda who does wear shoes. Jumba Jookiba, the Grand Councilwoman, and Gantu.
He wears a dark vest, gloves and oversized shades. Alternated between this and wearing boots. Peabody & Sherman, Mr. Peabody is usually an Accessory- Wearing Cartoon Animal, but his period costumes when he's Time Traveling fall into either this category or Half- Dressed Cartoon Animal. The only time he's shown with footwear is when he goes ice skating with Sherman in the memories montage. Worthington Foulfellow and Gideon from Pinocchio. Band of Misfits, is an intelligent chimp who dresses in a suit with spats over his hind paws.
The males wear nothing below the waist. Merrimack (a squirrel) and Buford the barkeep (a toad). Bernard first appears as one, wearing a red sweater, a red cap, and blue overalls rather like Mario. When Zeke's son Li'l Bad Wolf is introduced in the comics and other spin- offs, he usually falls under this category as well. The title character (a cat) switches between barefoot and wearing shoes in several scenes.
A few supporting characters who are barefoot throughout include Huckleberry Finn, Amy Lawrence, Judge Thatcher and Injurin' Joe. Even characters who have some form of footwear (such as Judy Hopps, who has foot coverings on her police uniform, and Mr. Big, who wears spats) have their toes uncovered. The only exception is Gazelle, who is The One Who Wears Shoes. Subverted in the books starring the Thea Sisters; they and their supporting cast start out barefoot like everyone else, but come to be portrayed as Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals later in the series. Tod, the dapper fox from the classic Peter Rabbit book series. Richfield (the triceratops) from Dinosaurs.
Though not always shown from the waist down, he does wear suspenders most of the time. Fran Sinclair also qualifies (except for the rare occasions when she wears fuzzy slippers). Animal sports a red and yellow shirt, tattered pants and iron collar. Beau, who wears a white cap, gray trousers and a plaid shirt, is fully- dressed with the absence of shoes, as shown in The Great Muppet Caper. Uncle Deadly wears a dark Victorian suit with spats. Justified since they're only ever seen in pajamas. Muffy Mouse explains that she and other mice go barefoot because .
In the climactic song when the other characters sing about their shoes, her line is: . Snorkel's identically dressed pet dog Otto from Beetle Bailey.

This was a problem when he worked as a stunt double for other cartoon dogs like Marmaduke or Scooby- Doo where he would wear a furry dog suit because he refused to do .

He still wore his spats barefoot in the comics and other published works. Also applicable to this trope are feline hillbillies Wiley Catt and Simple J.
Barnstable Bear (who usually just wears pants and a checkered cap) had a few seasonal outfits that fit this trope as well. A few other characters such as Sabre (a timber wolf) and Blaizer (a salamander) wear open- toed boots.
One wonders how Kicks the Skunk (an NPC who sells shoes) makes a living when his only potential customers are the players. This is both because the Guardian's (species of which Garr is a member) anatomy includes massive feet and because they wanted to show off said anatomy. Crystal- encased feet are almost shoes, but that's just natural Kitera anatomy.
The rest tend to be fully clothed or naked. Dust himself has boots, while Fidget, leaning more toward Funny Animal in a world of Petting Zoo People, doesn't really wear clothes to begin with. This also extends to helmets; they can't wear anything that covers their whole face. It then got subverted in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where they are able to do just that.

Alphys, Toriel's husband King Asgore, Asriel, many of the minor monsters, and some minibosses. Lampshaded with Toriel where you can go into her bedroom and discover a sock drawer, despite the fact that she never wears them. Presumably personal preference, since both Oblivion and Skyrim Khajiit are perfectly capable of wearing shoes (as opposed to, say, those in Morrowind).
Their feet tend to be drawn in much greater detail than most examples of this trope. Word of God is that he Does Not Like Shoes in the same way that a human might. Of the three birds whose feet have been in frame, only one was wearing sandals. After it, the characters tend to be either fully dressed or mostly naked, with some exceptions like Grootly and Zenith.
The cast of Forest Hill. The series is rather inconsistent on whether or not shoes are the norm.

Ash generally only wears bandages on her Handy Feet, although she upgrades to toe- socks for an Xmas arc when gifted them.
Stella doesn't bother with even that much, but doesn't appear even slightly bothered that she's going barefoot through snow - presumably because she is (or at least claims to be) a demigod. Lampshaded in this strip. Ozy, Avery, and Ms. Sorkowitz are Half Dressed Cartoon Animals. Meanwhile, Isolde is both a Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal and The One Who Wears Shoes, as was Ms. Mudd in some early strips.
