Rugrat's Episode: The Trial, what irony.

Imagine having a special toy that you love, and then all of a sudden.....CRASH!!! It falls on the ground and breaks. Imagine not knowing who did it.

That basically sums up the episode "The Trial". Tommy's favorite lamp, Mr. Fluffles breaks, basically breaking his heart. Tommy is determined to find out who did it, so guess who comes in.....Angelica Pickles. She would take on the role of the questioning lawyer, dubbing herself the "persecutor". Tommy would be the judge, and some stuffed animals would be the jury.

It would later be found that Angelica broke the lamp, angering Aunt Didi and Betty. Either way, alot of ironies in this. Angelica is the one doing the questioning, and she broke the lamp.  It shouldn't be too much of an irony considering this is Angelica, the bully of this show. I guess the title "persecutor" has a fitting ring to it. Also in this episode, you can find alot of malapropisms. However, the irony is that you find them more with Angelica than anyone else. One of them was "persecutor", which was suppose to be prosecutor. Another one was "jerky".  This was suppose to be jury. An even bigger irony is that the "babies", Phil and Lil, said it right, the jury, not the "jerky". Next, when I watched the episode, I heard the word "gravel", which probably meant "gavel". And the the oath. It is suppose to be "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God"? Angelica said "Do you swear to tell Ruth, all Ruth, and nothing but Ruth so help you Bob"? There were more malapropisms from Angelica than anyone else.

Another irony, Angelica used a word that fit her perfectly, "the persecutor". She persecuted the babies alot.
