Rugrats/Awesome

• "Looks like I'm going to Chicago! Have fun at the reunion!" Grandpa Lou manages to dodge a family reunion he didn't want to attend by accidentally-on-purpose wasting time getting off the train.
  • Made even better when the other adults realize he had that planned the whole time.
  • This moment. Also a moment of funny.

Howard: Betty a thief?! That's an absurd proposition! Stu: YOU'RE AN ABSURD PROPOSITION!

• The time the kids fight back against the army of Mr. Fiends: Lil doing Doll-Fu, Chuckie's triumphant pose, and Phil doing doll bowling.
• Angelica saving the babies from the abusive Josh. "No one messes with my dumb babies except me!" Then she shoves him and he runs away crying for his mommy.
• Spike has many crowning moments under his collar. Busting Angelica when she uses the babies to steal the cookies, scaring off a very scary bulldog, but THE Moment of Awesome has to be when he takes on the giant wolf at the end of the first movie.
  • And he survives, even though he fell through the bridge and into the water!
• Chuckie summoning the courage to stop the wedding in the second movie. And he successfully (if a bit haphazardly) pilots Robo-Reptar with the help of the other babies. What follows is a great and crazy climax which culminates in his final fight with Jean-Claude (who is piloting Robo-Snail), and he beats him. Meek little Chuckie, who was still suffering from his mother's death, beats a fully grown man in a giant robotic snail, and makes it in time to halt the wedding. I don't care what anyone says, that is pretty awesome.
• In "Weaning Tommy," Stu and Didi make a serious attempt to get Tommy to drink out of a cup instead of his bottle. He resists completely and becomes increasingly miserable. One night, the incredibly guilty Stu, Didi and Lou each intend to give him a bottle of milk - only to run into each other. They decide to give Tommy his bottle back in the morning, but as they leave his room, Lou notices the bottle he brought is suddenly missing. He shrugs it off before closing the door - leading to the reveal that Tommy was awake the whole time and slyly stole the bottle away from him.
• Chaz Finster, of all people, gets one in the episode 'Family Feud.' The Pickles and the DeVilles spend the enitre episode hating and insulting each other with poor Chaz stuck in the middle and unable to make them calm down and reconcile. Near the end, the babies wander off (as usual) and when the families do nothing about it but start fighting more, Chaz finally snaps and calls them on their childish behavior, bringing them all to shame and ending the feud.
• Tommy, Phil, and Lil busting Angelica's Right Hand Cat Fluffy for causing the trouble Spike got blamed and punished for. They trick Fluffy into chasing a ball all over the room, knocking things over and making a huge mess. When Angelica tries to blame Spike, Didi points out that he couldn't have done it because he was still in the garage where she put him.
• Angelica gloating about how she's totally going to pull a Karma Houdini for breaking Tommy's favorite lamp, and there's nothing the babies can do about it because they can't talk. However, she's talking quite loudly, and Didi and Betty hear everything from the kitchen. They bust her immediately, take her into the kitchen, and stick her in a high chair.
• Drew actually punishing Angelica in "Chuckie's Wonderful Life." Up until this point the most he's done is gently scold her, and when he did punish her he'd end up taking it back after she whined and cried enough. This time? He shows up at the Finster house with her and the CD she stole and was throwing around her room. Stern face, holding Angelica tightly by the hand, commanding her to apologize to Chaz, and telling her she's not getting any dessert for a week! It's quite satisfying to not only see Drew finally show some stones when it comes to his kid's rotten behavior, but to see Angelica get her comeuppance after seeing her indulge in some major puppy-kicking at the beginning of the episode.
• In the second movie, Angelica utterly humiliating the child-hating Coco LaBouche at her wedding to Chaz. First she reveals Coco's entire scheme, causing her to be fired from her job. Then, when Coco knocks over the four babies for standing on her dress, Angelica shouts that no one's allowed to pick on the babies except her before stomping on Coco's dress, causing it to rip and expose her Goofy Print Underwear, which in turn causes Coco to run crying out of the church and be mobbed by people with cameras.
• Stu overcoming his crippling fear of the high dive to rescue Tommy when he almost falls in the pool. The whole episode, he'd been trying to prove he wasn't the same Stu who panicked on the high board in college, only to freeze again when he found himself up there. At the same time, the babies mistook the pool for a giant toilet and tried to flush it by jumping on the low board. The moment someone pointed out the babies, Stu's paternal instincts kicked in and he jumped without a second thought just as Tommy fell off the board, and caught him before he hit the water.
