History YMMV / Rugrats

* SacredCow: The show is up there with [=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=] and Avatar: The Last Airbender as one of Nickelodeon's most universally acclaimed shows ever made. The number of people who dislike/hate the show can be counted on one or two hand, and fans can become very defensive if the show is even slightly criticized.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The show is not exactly subtle about it's view on so called child "experts" and parenting advice. Nine times out of ten, whenever the show does an episode about child raising advice, it's usually to show how much of a load of BS it is and to hammer home that all kids are different and blanket advice for how to raise every child just does ''not'' work.

* SacredCow: While the show's following is not as active as other [=NickToons=] fanbases, you'd be hard-pressed finding any person who doesn't like the show.

* FoeYayShipping: Susie and Angelica hate each other, but that doesn't stop them from being a popular ToyShip with a lot of fanfics for them.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Despite being a stereotype, Boris and Minka Kropatkin ended up being relatable to Jewish viewers of the series, especially those of Ashkenazi Jews.

* ParanoiaFuel: This show more than likely left a few parents suspicious of what their infant children were capable of doing the second they turned their backs on them. Especially so since the parents of the show, while comically oblivious, are often conveyed as [[ParentsAsPeople making brief and relatable oversights]] many real adults likely commit without concern of consequences.

** In "Chuckie's Wonderful Life", [[ItsAWonderfulPlot an angel shows a depressed Chuckie what the world would be like if he was never born]]. While horrifying, most of the alternate world has clearly been exaggerated to the extreme, like babies destroying the city and Angelica enslaves Stu and Didi, leaving Tommy to eat garbage. Unfortunately, Chaz's fate is disturbingly and heartbreakingly possible. Basically, without a child of his own (and with, as later episodes reveal, the death of his wife) Chaz became a complete shut-in, complete with mounds of empty pizza boxes littering his house. Worse yet, living alone among the garbage has taken its toll on Chaz's sanity, as he only talks to a sock puppet who is his only [[CompanionCube friend]]. Not only does this stick out in the otherwise over blown dark world, but this much like real life cases of people with crippling depression.

** At the end of "The Case of the Missing Rugrat", the two wealthy old ladies call Tommy "Botswick", which was the name of their father whose painting was shown earlier, and then he makes a posh pose. Is he implying he enjoyed living the high life, or imitating the Botswick painting?
