In the "Hiccups" episode of Rugrats season 2, the babies are introduced to the concept of hiccups. Chuckie hiccups after drinking too much water, prompting the other babies to try to help him get rid of them. They try various methods, such as scaring him and tickling him, but ultimately it's Grandpa Lou's suggestion of holding his breath that does the trick.
Tommy then gets the hiccups, leading to a competition between him and Phil and Lil as to who can hold their breath the longest. Meanwhile, Angelica is being taught "good manners" by her Aunt Miriam, but she's not exactly thrilled about it. She tries to teach the other babies her "sneaky" manners, causing chaos and hilarity.
The babies also learn about "olden times" through Grandpa Lou's stories, which he tells to them to help them fall asleep. While they're initially bored by the stories, they soon become fascinated and ask for more. The episode ends with the babies all asleep, dreaming of their own adventures.
Overall, "Hiccups" is a fun and educational episode of Rugrats, with the usual blend of comedy and heart that makes the show so beloved. It's a great example of the show's ability to appeal to both kids and adults, with jokes and themes that everyone can enjoy.
