This theory comes from The Journal of Cartoon Overanalyzations, which diagnoses Donald with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder because of his often erratic behaviour. Oh, and she died of an overdose when she was 13 at the end of All Grown Up! Sheesh. The theory also includes the spin-off All Grown Up! because it states that Angelica was a bipolar schizophrenic who got addicted to drugs as a teenager, leading to her recreating her childhood in an imaginary world and, because of the time lapse, her creations were older. Oh, and the DeVilles had an abortion, but Angelica didn't know whether it would have been a boy or a girl, so she created the twins Phil and Lil.ĭark, right? It gets worse. The theory that Rugrats was all a result of Angelica's imagination doesn't sound all that dark at first, until you delve into the reasoning behind it and the way the characters believe.Īpparently, Chuckie died with his mother and Tommy was stillborn, which is why Chuckie's father is a nervous wreck and Tommy's father is always making toys for a son that never had a chance to live. Her father is neglectful (he refers to her simply as "the girl"), her mother is an alcoholic and her older sister Olga is adored.Īnd so, maybe the show is all about Helga's obsession with Arnold, and how she manages to get through her horrid life through her love for him, explaining the show's title and the weird amount of screen time for Arnold despite being a secondary character. Helga's life is a pretty depressing one, hence her need to be a bully to the one person she loves the most. Everything that we see is told via her viewpoint. You'd think that a show called Hey Arnold is about, you know, Arnold, but Redditor iSmokeTheXS has pondered whether it's secretly about antagonist Helga G Pataki, the angry bully who always picked on Arnold by calling him "football head" but was also secretly in love with him.īefore you dismiss that as a silly thought, remember that it's actually Helga that shouts "Hey Arnold!" repeatedly in the intro, and she's the only person that has her own monologue in every episode.
