He did this *from inventing toys in his basement*. Stu Pickles is a legend.

The problem is we are brainwashed literally since birth and are sold lies that we need to be someone “special” and that seeking pleasure is the ultimate virtue, but that’s not how life really works. So of course most people lose it when they make this discovery the hard way and it’s tough to let go of the infantilization of modern society promoted by the elites. Almost every aspect of modern society is designed to dumb you down like a child. There is nothing greater a man can do than raise a family and provide for them working an honorable profession, most grown men nowadays are mentally stuck at 15 and women are even worse. And I’m not even trying to act like I’m better than this, I deal with this stuff as well like I said everyone in the west is raised in this joke of a society and it’s hard to not be an eternal child.
@@JA-jx1hk And what's more, I think the juvenile narrative that we should "follow our dreams" instead of pursuing stability is one of the most insidious lies our society has ever created.

He's totally a free thinker, trying to break the cogs in the machine. His brother is coorporate, but practical. Will never understand true freedom. Dil, when older, becomes a left-handed inventor, too. God speed
Oh christ, I would have had to have made an elaborate positive description of the corporate life for that retort to have worked. Jumped the gun there tiger . Better luck next time.
@@razorburn645 are you really that annoyed at a cartoon character. If so I can only conclude it's because you know there's people who do fuck all but get on in life anyways whereas you pressumably work hard and are underpaid, correct?
Stu is 35 and he and his family are all living in his dad’s house while he follows his passions and relies on his wife’s income as a teacher and father’s support to keep them all afloat until he gets his “big break”. Fortunately that happens for them but looking back now.... that’s bleak
I always thought the grandfather was living with him, not the other way around. There’s even an episode where they try to put him in an old folks home.
@@matthew8153 I always thought the grandad lived with them too but I watched the movie and he said that Stu and Drew were arguing in HIS basement and I was like 🤯, and this was when Dil was on the way . I forgot all about that episode! Just makes things worse.
Didi really did love Stu. He was always failing with his inventions and had no income to support their two infants be she still stuck with him and believed in him. That's true love right there.
Me watching Rugrats as a kid: “haha I don’t really understand what Stu is going through, let’s get back to the babies” Me watching this now: “I’m 35, have I, myself, really lived? Have I focused too much on money and not on myself? I understand you Stu”
There is a pattern in these classic cartoons that I've noticed. They always featured some type of characters that we wouldn't relate to much as kids but could someday. Rugrats is perfect for this. As a kid, I liked the antics of the kids (still do, to be honest). As an adult, I understand Stu's desire to just want to be a good dad and do something I love for a living, realizing reality also hits harder. Just look at Mirrorland from the perspective of the kids. "GRANDPA'S HEAD IS ON FIRE!" Hilarious. Stu's? His kids are hallucinating and trying to open up his chest by twisting his "chest plates". Dark humor.) Spongebob famously does this with characters like Mr. Krabs and getting old, and Squidward, who feels like his life was a let down, not achieving his dreams, stuck at a dead wage job to some corporate penny pincher. Kids next door is interesting because it made you feel great to be a kid, but as an adult, it made me not want to just waste my life around like some of the adults in that show either.
I think the creators of these older cartoons acknowledged that parents are also frequent viewers of these shows, so they added humor and characters to make it entertaining to them as well.
@@hankhill8739 Agreed. Back then, we didn't have multiple smart devices and computers to just watch whatever we wanted. Most people only had one TV, and whatever was on had to make sure the writing was smarter to engage adults and kids better. I feel having stuff like Netflix and CZcams kids allows for a lot more lazy writing as it just has to entertain kids in front of a tablet most of the time.

@@matguimond92 I grew up watching this and I turn 20 in December 😭 my siblings were born in the 90’s and my mom was young so most of the shows and movies I grew up with in the 00’s was from the 70’s-00’s I still favor most movies and shows made before 2015. Quality tv and movies plummeted from that point on.
You know what gives me comfort? My pistol, and the knowledge that when I've sunken to the lowest low, a single bullet can end all my troubles instantly.... Honk.
Never expected the word wageslave to come from this show. Funny how we paid attention to the baby's shenanigans when we were younger but began to relate to the parents once we got older. Stu is such a mood.
The new Rugrats on Paramount Plus should've been about a new generation of babies while Tommy Pickles is a 31 year old loser like his dad, still stuck being a Reptar weeb while his cousin Angelica feels the crushing weight of office work misconduct and the inevitability of being an older woman.
Welcome to the World of wage slaves, Broken dreams... and living in an apartment with a job: that doesn't make you *at least* 4-5 figures a month.... LOOOOOLLLLLL.....!!!!!!! 😂😂😂 😂😂😂
I still think it's "Cartoon Logic" that Stu. A broke and unsuccsesful toy inventor can afford a pretty nice house in a good neighbourhood and still support two kids.
nah blud, this hit me on a whole different level. We’re all Stu. And if you’re rich, it’s not the money that’s a problem.. but rather the constant worry of getting sued for what you’ve built. This life, I tell you.
Interestingly enough his children grew up to admire their father and became inventors and tinkerer's themselves. In the end he got a legacy that loved and respected him.
Grandpa, it might be scary if your 35 years old and suddenly realize that you never actually lived Stu just walks away. Talk about a big ouch for Stu. I liked Grandpa he was funny always throwing remarks. Boy do I miss being a 90's kid.
Well, I’m an official wage of slave Dee. Stu that’s great you hear that Tommy your father got a job. I’m so proud of you. Sad reality of what people are proud of versus starting a business
When you're a kid, you think you're Tommy. When you grow up, you realize you're Stu.
so true
Agreed when Stu got a job he didn't like I was like that is me right now.
True
Very true
Wow guess Tommy sure will grow up as his father. I can see how Rugrats does in fact shows you on what being an Adult can be since their's many episodes that determines this fact.
Stu is broke af but he can afford a two story house and has kids.
If I were to get a job, that did be another story!
I though the house was grandfather's and Stu lived there with his family
@@Dehn396 I figured Didi was the breadmaker because she's a teacher at a high school, I think. Stu was an inventor so perhaps, some of his inventions actually sold.
She is. I think there litterally multiple episodes where we see her work.

He could apply for unemployment.
The scariest thing is knowing that I'm now only 6 years younger than Stu, and that someday soon I'll be 35 years old and making chocolate pudding at 4AM in the morning
I always thought Stu was in his late 30s at the youngest, but here I am just three years from being his age and it's horrifying.
Sounds delicious.
I'm only 2 years younger than Stu Pickles. The realization is quite sobering.
Holy fuck, I'm in the same boat. Jesus, that thought gives me existential dread.
Shit, I am 34 and my kids are teenagers. I do what the fuck I want at 4 am lol
I don't remember rugrats being this _real_
Maybe I was just too young back then
This show really hits different as an adult. That's some good writing!

Nope. They all live in his dad’s house. He doesn’t have a job that’s why he’s hoping one of his inventions sells well

We can all relate to Stu now
