* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Both Tommy and Dil apparently wear these. While taking part in a circus act in "Oh Brother, Who Art Thou?, Tommy "accidentally" gets pantsed by a clown as part of the act exposing his chess knight boxers in front of the audience. In "Golden Boy" in his obsession to one up Tommy, Dil decides to trek a hiking trail in his polka dot boxers.

* KarmaHoudini: In "Susie Sings the Blues", she pays $1000 to a record dealer to make her a singing sensation. Turns out she was just conned and left out in the middle of the slums. The "producer" disappears from the plot just before the reveal, and recieves absolutely no comeuppance for her actions. She does, however, get an implied comeuppance in the game "All Grown Up!: Express Yourself," when Angelica follows her and calls the police on her, implying that she's been arrested for her actions.

** During the first season, the coloring and backgrounds were flat like in Rugrats. But starting with "Interview With a Campfire", the characters were given shading and the backgrounds are more realistic.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: In "Oh Bro, Where Art Thou?", we're introduced to a family of French-Canadian contortionists. The children Jean and Pilar, always go barefoot even when they are not performing and are in their regular clothes. Sometimes they even eat and pick stuff up with their feet, even setting the table for supper! This latter trait is used to further emphasize that they are even bigger [[CloudCuckooLander CloudCuckooLanders]] than Dil is (to the point that ''Dil himself'' became annoyed with them). In contrast their parents, Luca and Joe, wear shoes when not performing.

* OverprotectiveDad: Chas regarding Kimi in “Bad Kimi.”

* ArtEvolution: The animation and coloring changes between seasons 1 and 2. Many of the characters were re-designed as a result.

* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Dil, who is described as "Not the brightest candle on the menorah", with Phil and Lil mentioning they feel responsible for his mental condition because they dropped him on his head.
** In the same episode Didi states that she thinks it's genetic. "... from Stu's side of the family of course."

* CulturalPersonalityMakeover: Kimmie despite knowing she was Japanese her entire life, really only has it click for her while working on a family tree. She begins to wear kimonos and decorates her bedroom with Japanese furniture and decorations. She changes her mind after seeing her stepbrother Chuckie is upset by her excluding him from her background.

* OutOfFocus: While never really the main focus of ''Rugrats'' the adults appear far less often in this show and are rarely relevant to the plot when they do. Chaz and Betty are the only adults who appear fairly regularly and that's only because they run the Java Lava, which is the 'Rats' hangout.

* AsianAirhead: Savannah is the Type A, an Asian Alpha Bitch. Not necessarily ditzy, but rather easily falls for Tommy's plan to sabotage her party and {{Squee}}s over a 'Senor Jumping Bean' character.

** Angelica is trying to suck up to a LovableAlphaBitch called Samantha (a white girl), who reveals her HiddenDepths and is teased as a possible love interest for Chuckie. In the main series, Angelica is instead sucking up to an AsianAirhead called Savannah (who's completely unsympathetic) and Chuckie's more popular love interest is a Latina girl called Nicole.
