Title: Angelica from Rugrats & Wurster Malapropisms
Post by: Terry From Cleveland on February 22, 2011, 08:57:56 AM

My girlfriend turned on Nickelodeon for some reason this morning and Rugrats was on. I instantly appreciated Angelica's character more than I ever had because she reminded me of Wurster's characters flubbing simple phrases. In the few minutes this was on in the background I heard:

"somewhere in the Specific Ocean", "I am but a humble serpent", and "I must be some kinda psycho [psychic]".

Don't know if it's been brought up on the board before, but The Best Show has made me enjoy Rugrats.

That show's humor was completely based around malapropisms. There literally wasn't anything else to it.

Does The Best Show also make you appreciate The Family Circus?
