Rugrats/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* The Mother's Day episode, which explains what happens to Chuckie's biological mom: {{spoiler|She died of an [[Soap Opera Disease|unexplained but terminal illness.]] It culminates with [[Dead Man Writing|a letter the dying woman wrote to her son for him to read when he was older.]]}}

** It's natural to feel bad for Chuckie, but don't forget Chaz. He keeps her belongings stored away and doesn't talk about her much. It's clear that up to that point in the series he wasn't yet able to get over what happened to her. The scene where Chaz finds that Chuckie has gotten a hold of some of her stuff is downright heartbreaking.

* The crowner of all of them, though, has to be the "All Growed Up" special, where it shows them as preteens. The whole special has a certain air of maturity and the pressures of growing up and experiencing new things. It then culminates at the concert scene, where Tommy and Angelica duet with some big popstar over a ballad that then flashes back to the series as a whole, showing scenes from multiple episodes. The creators did, indeed, write the special as an emotional look at the series...and this troper was definitely shedding some [[Manly Tears]].

* Acorn Nuts and Diapey Butts, the scene at the cemetery.
