User blog:BrainyxBat/Why Chuckie is the greatest Rugrats/All Grown Up character in my eyes

Status: In progress

Chuckie Finster. Remember him? Red hair, purple glasses, buck teeth, freckles? Well in my eyes, he is the greatest character in both shows. Not to mention the cutest Why? I have my reasons.

This blog post may contain spoilers for those who haven't seen certain Rugrats/AGU episodes, just an FYI!

Rugrats
Even at two years old, Chuckie is the smartest out of all the babies to me. Because he knows his limits, and hates getting in trouble. But at the same time, he's very loyal to his friends, and would risk anything for them. That, in my eyes, is a great friend.

I won't be able to list his redeeming qualities in all of the Rugrats episodes, because there's too many of them, and I haven't even seen them all.

His relationship with his family is very sweet too. In Be My Valentine, Chuckie wanted to make a valentine for his daddy, since he had no one else for that, and practically plowed through the dancing parents, so that he could give it to him before the holiday was over.

Chuckie is also a great big brother too. In Big Brother Chuckie, he sacrifices his cowardliness to protect Kimi from the big boy that was picking on her.

I can name a few more, but there's too many to list as of now.

All Grown/ed Up
At the pre-teen stage, Chuckie is still as cute as ever. And now he has braces on his buck teeth, giving him more of that "geek" look, although he openly despises them. As you would expect, Chuckie has a bit of the "smart one of the group" stereotype, but don't be fooled; He still has his own personality.

In Susie Sings the Blues, Chuckie is tired of being afraid, so he starts making mischief in the school; He and along a reluctant Tommy glue the basketball shoes to the boys' bathroom ceiling, and tinker with the soda and ice cream dispensers, making them spray everywhere for starters. Chuckie then plans on replacing Vice Principal Pangborn's diploma with a copied photo of his backside, but they're busted before he could do so. While in the office, Chuckie urges Pangborn to give them a harsh punishment, while Tommy thinks otherwise. Chuckie is disappointed when he and Tommy learn that Pangborn is a closeted poet, and he only tells the boys to clean their messes.

Overall, I think Chuckie was hilarious, adorable, and relatable in that episode. I know how it feels to want to stop being afraid of whatever. I think he should've given himself a "bad boy" look, but that's just me. How adorable would he look in a big leather jacket? X3

In Coup DeVille, he goes to great lengthes to make the fitness test optional instead of mandatory; And not just for him, but other not-so-strong kids too. Or in his words: "Coordinatedly-challenged kids everywhere!" During the test, he hides in the boys' bathroom, but accidentally causes a flood when a pipe collapses from him hanging onto it. He holds them together for over an hour, before Pangborn, who is the gym coach as well as the vice principal, finds him and helps him down. While Chuckie's arms stay up against his will from the accident, he hopes that his plan worked, but Pangborn has him take the test tomorrow! As you would expect, Chuckie is disappointed at this.

Overall, I just love him in that one. I can relate to him about being weak, but I thought he was adorable on the rope climb. When he said "I hope it's one from before I got my braces!" while in the flooding bathroom, I felt bad for him. I felt that way throughout the whole thing. He was very funny when saying "Tommy, don't ruin my moment." *giggle* Classic Chuck.

In Chuckie's in Love, I felt bad for him, because Nicole didn't notice him. She even mistook the chair he was in for being vacant! It was funny when she dragged it away with him in it, but I still felt bad for him. To make Nicole notice him, he recreates himself with help from Kimi and Lil. And although pretending to not know Tommy and Phil isn't exactly great, it wasn't anything personal against them.

In River Rats, Chuckie makes Tommy feel better about his aquaphobia, when he feels uneasy about it.

In Memoirs of a Finster, Chuckie goes to great lengths to make Kimi happy, what with participating in the Kabuki dance (not to mention putting bird poop on his face), yet briefly isn't included in her family tree, because he isn't a blood relative.

In Trading Places, I think it's when Chuckie is at his sweetest, along with Memoirs of a Finster. When Kimi's upset, he tries his very best to make her happy again, but his and his friends' efforts aren't exactly appreciated, because by honest mistake, they tackle the wrong problem. Chuckie is awesome for not getting angry with her for anything; He's the best.
