Author's Note: Well, I can't believe it, but it was twenty years ago today exactly, when we learned the truth behind what happened to Chuckie's mother, on the Mother's Day special of what I call in my opinion, the most beloved show of all-times. And as promised, we have a chapter dedicated to this milestone, just as I did with Chanukah back in December, and I will be doing with Vacation come July 8, 2017. Sadly though, for my Nick Splat viewers, because of how Mother's Day landed on the calendar this year, you'll have to wait another week to watch the original episode, as Mother's Day isn't happening until May 14, 2017, but you'll get the bloopers, outtakes, and deleted scenes a week early, thanks to reaching this milestone, and I'd like to thank Boris Yeltsin for helping me come up with this list. With that said, let's get started!
Chapter 21, Mother's Day Bloopers, Outtakes, and Deleted Scenes
We cut to the beginning of the episode, where Angelica is trying to glue macaroni together to make her statue of herself to give to her mom for Mother's Day. However, while in the episode, she more or less, did this flawlessly, in this take of the scene, she's dropping macaroni all over the floor, as a look of frustration crosses her face.
"Grrr! I'll never get this right!" Angelica screamed at the camera.
"Keep trying, you'll get it." A director says from off stage.
No matter how much she tried though, she kept either dropping macaroni pieces on the floor, or the pieces would slip through her fingers.
"Grrr!" Angelica growled, as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where the babies are curious about Mother's Day, and Angelica explains it to them.
"Mother's Day is the day when everyone gives their mom presents!" Angelica explains.
"Why do we gots to give presents to our moms?" Lil asked.
While in the original episode, Angelica said something kind of snarky, here, she simply smiles over at Lil and says the following.
"Because our mommies are special." Angelica explained.
"Oh that's why." Tommy confirmed, as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Stu is presenting his robot to Didi for Mother's Day.
"Here it is Deed, get ready for the ultimate Mother's Day breakfast in bed." Stu announced.
"Stu, it's practically lunch time." Betty remarks.
Stu simply turns to Betty and rolls his eyes.
"I had a few technical difficulties." Stu mutters.
"That's okay Stu, it's the thought that counts." Didi cheerfully comments, as she climbs into bed and curls up beneath the blankets.
Just then, the robot rolls into the room.
"It's a vacuum cleaner." Betty comments.
"Oh, it's much more than that, watch." Stu says, clapping his hands to get the robots attention.
"Deed, remember that fruity shake you love so much?" Stu asks her, as he continues to give directions to his invention.
However, unlike in the original episode, when it makes a mess, it rolls over to Didi in bed, where a smoothie is presented to her. Didi takes the glass off of the stand on the robot and takes a sip.
"Mmmm! It's lovely!" Didi compliments with a smile, as the screen cuts to black.
Back stage, we see two stage crew members exchange glances.
"You were suppose to provide Stu with the malfunctioning robot, not your finished product." One of the men hissed in the other one's ear.
"Dang it!" The other man hissed back in anger, just as the screen flipped to another scene.
We now cut to the scene where Chas is presenting Didi with the box of Melinda's things.
"Well I was wondering if you could do me a favor and hold on to something for me." Chas asks, showing the box to Didi.
"Well what is it?" Didi asks.
"Well it's a box of things that belonged to Chuckie's mom, I really don't want to define this." Chas mumbles.
"I understand it's been hard for you since Melinda died." Didi comments with sadness in her voice.
"No no, it's Chuckie. He's getting into everything now and I just…" Chas says, before Didi cuts him off, taking the box from him and placing it into the hall closet.
"Oh Charles, I understand. I'll take care of it." Didi says, walking away from the closet door.
"Thank you." Chas says to Didi, before turning back to the closet to take once final glance at the box.
"Well uh, goodbye." Chas says, waving as he closes the closet door, and the screen cuts to black.
"Freeze!" A director calls into a microphone.
"What is it?" Didi asks the director.
"Chas was suppose to cut you off before you finished your line. Saying the word, dead, could get you fired from the show. It's bad enough that Chuckie doesn't have a mom, you want Tommy to be without a mom too?" The director angrily asks.
"Uh, no!" Didi cries in panic.
"Then say your lines correctly. No break for you yet, let's reshoot that scene again." The director says, as everybody gets into place to reshoot the scene again, and the screen cuts to the next bloopered scene.
We now cut to the scene where Phil and Lil have come out of their flashback of the scene showing off the first present they ever gave their mom.
"Our first laugh." Phil comments with a smile, lying in the grass with a smile on his face.
However, while Lil had a line after him, she starts laughing uncontrollably.
"Lil, what's the matter with you? You've gots a line!" Phil shouts impatiently.
Lil however is too busy laughing, not paying attention.
"Stop it Lil." Phil says again, but at that moment, her laughter becomes contagious.
Right then, Phil starts laughing, as does everybody else on stage, and the entire crew back stage. Tommy laughs so hard, that his diapers start leaking.
"Uh, you guys, I think I laughed so hard, I'm gonna need a new diaper." Tommy comments.
At that moment, the screen cuts to black, as a stage manager comes into view with baby wipes, powder, and fresh diapers.
We now cut to the scene where Spike is being Chuckie's mom.
"Come on, kiss him Spike, go on boy." Tommy encourages, as they're standing in the kitchen.
Spike runs over to Chuckie, where he does kiss him on the mouth. Tommy, Phil and Lil all observe this, giving dirty looks at Spike.
"Gross!" All of the babies exclaim in unison, including Chuckie, just as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Lil is being Chuckie's mom.
"Drink your baba baby Chuckie. I licked all the ants off." Lil said, sticking the bottle of milk into Chuckie's mouth.
However, rather than spitting it out like he does in the original episode, he finishes the contents of the bottle, yawns, and falls asleep. Lil takes the now empty bottle away from sleeping Chuckie.
"Aw, he's so cute." Lil quietly whispers, as she quietly walks away, turning back to glance one more time at the sleeping redhead.
"Sleep tight little baby Chuckie." Lil quietly says, blowing him a kiss, before disappearing into the kitchen, and the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Lil's struggling to keep Chuckie, who's slightly bigger than her, on her shoulder to burp him.
"Come on Chuckie, time to burp the naughty baby." Lil says in a baby voice.
Just then, Chuckie let's out a big one.
"That's my boy!" Lil excitedly cries, giving Chuckie a hug, as the screen cuts to the next scene.
We now cut to a deleted scene, where Chuckie is lying on the living room floor, and Lil has proceeded to take off Chuckie's green shorts and blue underpants under neath, attempting to put a diaper on to him.
"Now hold still baby Chuckie." Lil says, struggling to put the diaper on to his bottom correctly.
However, Chuckie is not going to have any of this, as he stands up, knocking the diaper to the floor.
"Stop it Lil, you know I'm potty trained." Chuckie snaps, just as he pees all over the carpet.
Realizing what happened, he looks down to see the wet spot he's made on the living room carpet, his cheeks blushing red with embarrassment.
"Oops." Chuckie mutters to himself.
"Now now baby Chuckie, if you had let me put the diaper on you, this wouldn't have happened." Lil scolds.
"Just, stop it!" Chuckie screams, running off towards the bathroom with nothing but his shirt, socks and shoes on his feet, showing off his naked bottom to the world, as the screen cuts to black, ending the deleted scene.
We now cut to the scene where Lil is attempting to put Chuckie down for a nap.
"I think he's cranky cuz he needs a nap." Lil comments, dragging Chuckie up the stairs to Tommy's room, where she proceeds to put Chuckie down in his crib.
Chuckie moans in defeat, as he lies in the crib, closing his eyes, pretending to take a nap, not being tired for real.
"Have a nice nap baby Chuckie." Lil whispers, leaving the room.
No sooner has she left the room, when Chuckie opens his eyes and peers towards the open door into the hallway.
"Glad that's over." Chuckie mutters to himself, as he sits up in the crib and stretches, just as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Angelica is Chuckie's mom. We specifically cut to right after Tommy asks Chuckie if he can come help them look for presents and Angelica catches them talking.
"And just what do you think you're doing?" Angelica asks.
"We're just talking." Tommy replies.
"Well in case you didn't notice, Chuckie is busy right now." Angelica remarks.
"Oh." Tommy says disappointingly, as he walks off and the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Chuckie is trying on different hats on the macaroni statue. First, he puts a red baseball cap on the statue.
"Ooh red! I like that." Angelica comments.
Then, he puts on the blue hat.
"Blue looks nice too!" Angelica comments excitedly.
"How about this one?" Chuckie asks, putting on a hat that's a bunch of different colors.
While originally, Angelica thought it was too yucky, in the blooper…
"Love the colors!" Angelica compliments.
He then puts on a green striped hat making the statue look like an elf.
"Hmmm, I look cute as an elf." Angelica comments.
However, Chuckie is confused.
"Okay Angelica mom, which hat do you like the bestest then?" Chuckie asks.
"I can't decide." Angelica replies, just as a director cuts her off.
"Cut cut cut." The director from off stage says.
"What is it now?" Angelica asks impatiently.
"You, personally, may like all of the hats that Chuckie picked out for your statue, but in the script, you're suppose to hate them." The director says, correcting her.
Angelica sighs dejectedly.
"Oh all right fine, we'll reshoot the scene again." Angelica grumbles irritably, as the screen cuts to black, and everybody gets into position to reshoot that scene again, in hopes that Angelica gets her lines correct this time.
We now cut to the scene where Chuckie is picking a flower for Angelica's statue.
"I want that one." Angelica states, pointing to the dandelion she wants in the grass.
"Okay." Chuckie says, walking up to the flower where a bumble bee has landed on it.
Not noticing the bee, Chuckie reaches out with no hesitation and picks the flower.
"Cut! Let's try that again." A director calls from off stage, just as the screen cuts to black.
The scene is reshot, at the point where Chuckie goes to grab the flower, and grabs it successfully, because the bumble bee doesn't appear.
"I got it, I got it, I got it!" Chuckie cries excitedly, holding the flower up high in the air.
"Cut!" The director calls from off stage, as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Chuckie has come inside, after Stu's robot invention has messed it up. Only this time, Chuckie has a perfectly good flower, that's not ruined.
"Uh, Angelica mom, I got you your flower." Chuckie says, handing the unruined flower to Angelica.
"Oh blane it's beautiful! You're the bestest little boy a mommy could ask for. You're gonna make peoples at Heartford very proud one day." Angelica says, giving Chuckie kisses and mimicking her own mother at that moment.
The stage crew back stage simply laughs, as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Chuckie knocks over Angelica's macaroni head.
"But Angelica mom…" Chuckie starts to say as the head falls over.
However, rather than yelling at Chuckie like she does in the original episode, Angelica simply looks at the mess on the floor and bursts into tears.
"I'm sorry Angelica." Chuckie says apologetically, running up to give the crying Angelica a hug.
Tommy, Phil and Lil come up and give her a hug to comfort her as well, just as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Angelica is putting the babies into time out.
"If you think grandpa's old, wait and see how old you are when your time out's over. And as for you Chuckie, you can forget about having a mom, ever!" Angelica screams, as she leads the babies into the playpen and closes the gate of the fence behind her upon leaving.
Before she can get across the room to pick up her ruined macaroni head off of the floor, the unpleasant director's voice at this point, cuts in once again.
"Cut!" The director's voice booms from off stage.
"What now?" Angelica asks impatiently.
"You were suppose to time the babies out in the closet, not the playpen." The director replies.
Angelica growls and stomps over to the playpen to let the babies out.
"What's wrong Angelica?" Lil asks.
"We gotta do the scene over again. Apparently, babies aren't spose to be able to play while in time out." Angelica replied in a nasty tone of voice, as she opens the playpen and lets the babies out, and the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where the babies have found the box in the closet, and they're looking through it.
"I don't know but I sure could eat a lot of dirt with this thing." Phil comments, holding up the trowel.
"Where did you find that?" Tommy asks.
"From this box." Lil replies.
Curious, Chuckie takes the trowel from Phil's hand and feels it.
"What else is in there?" Chuckie asks.
Tommy pulls out a book.
"There's a book." Tommy comments, holding up the book.
Chuckie reaches his hands out to touch it.
"Neat! Does it gots pictures?" Lil asks.
Tommy opens up the book where there's a flower pressed to one of the pages and it falls out on to the floor.
"Just pictures of flowers, but they sure didn't bloom in very good." Tommy comments.
Chuckie then takes out the last item in the box, a photograph of a lady.
"Look you guys, it's the lady I told you about, from my dream!" Chuckie states, showing everybody the picture.
Back stage, the directors are jotting down notes on a clipboard. One of them looks up at the rest of the crew.
"In the original scene, Chuckie doesn't touch each item in the box, but how he touched each item just now was adorable!" The director commented.
The rest of the stage crew nodded their heads in agreement, as the screen cuts to black.
We now cut to the scene where Didi and Minca are returning from the mud bath spa.
"A bath alone I like, a bath with strangers? Not so much." Minca comments.
"Oh mom…" Didi starts to say, before her mother cuts her off.
"I'm just saying, fifty dollars for water and dirt!" Minca adds, just as Didi opens the front door.
"Cut!" A director calls from off stage.
"What is it?" Didi asks.
"Minca, the line's eighty dollars, not fifty dollars." The director corrects her through a bullhorn.
"Shows what you know mister director, it should be fifty dollars for what you get at that place." Minca argues.
"Please! Say your lines as written!" The director impatiently says off stage.
"Fine mister director, have it your way." Minca angrily snaps at him, pointing a finger in his direction, as the screen cuts to black.
And this, ends chapter 21, and our tribute to the twentieth anniversary of the world premier, of the Rugrats Mother's Day special.
Author's Note: Well, there you have it. I hope this chapter turned out okay, despite the fact that I didn't rewatch this episode before putting out the chapter, or at any point in time while Boris Yeltsin and I were brainstorming blooper ideas for this chapter, and, on the day I'm releasing this chapter, I haven't exactly been on the best of terms with my own family, and while I recently apologized to my mother and brother via text messages for our argument and everything I did to make them so God damn fuckin' angry in the first place, my mom still refuses to talk to me on the phone, giving me the silent treatment. If my own mother hates the fuckin' fact that I'm such a God damn bloody blabbermouth, then fine! See if I ever speak to you again, or even celebrate Mother's Day with you next weekend for that matter. Just, fuck my shitty family, fuck them all! Anyway, thanks for reading, and, don't know when I'll be back with more new material or updates to ongoing material, but I hope it's sometime very soon, and that I'm in a much better mood the next time I come out here to post something. And oh yeah, to everybody who's family loves them the way they are and could care less if they're blabbermouths or not, I hope all of you out there, manage to have a Happy Mother's Day.
