Talk:Silent Angelica/@comment-25906608-20180503193254

Sheesh! I can find something to love about almost any Rugrats episode, but this episode comes off as a total misfire. It just feels too mean-spirited for a show like this one.

Basically, to get new toys, Angelica tries to behave herself by staying quiet until her mom's done with a business call and her dad's done watching a badminton game, but the babies keep being loud. Somehow, Angelica never gets the idea to whisper to them and explain what's going on, and so they think something's wrong with her (like maybe she's sad or sick). At the end, when the babies are bothering her and being loud, she finally snaps and yells that there's nothing wrong with her and she's just trying to get some toys. Unfortunately, Drew and Charlotte heard this, and because of her yelling and the mess in the room, decide that Angelica shouldn't get any toys (to add insult to injury, this was just a few seconds before the time where Angelica could stop being quiet).

Usually, when Angelica gets punished, it's because she did something to deserve it. Here, she was genuinely trying to behave, and yet she got punished anyway. That's just infuriating!

This episode's definitely one of the weaker episodes of this show and one of the very few episodes I completely hate! Anybody agree with me?
