The latest Oney Plays episode, Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland, is an unexpected triumph. Despite being a Corey Lyle episode, it manages to avoid the usual pitfalls of awkward humor—even when presented with the perfect opportunity to make a cheap joke about Corey being the “fat autistic viewer’ libido.” The restraint shown here elevates the humor, proving that the team can deliver comedy without leaning on tired or uncomfortable tropes.
The episode also delights with classic Oney Plays moments, including their trademark riffs on brown bricks and a particularly dark but hilarious discussion about babies’ soft spots. These callbacks, combined with the chaotic energy the show is known for, make the episode a nostalgic yet fresh experience for longtime fans.
However, a glaring issue mars the episode. Fifteen minutes in, they unapologetically use a duplication glitch—a clear act of cheating. This decision undercuts the integrity of their playthrough and is a disservice to their audience. Cheating, especially in a game that thrives on its nostalgic charm and inherent challenge, is inexcusable. It’s a misstep that cannot be overlooked.
Finally, please, I am begging—please—can someone please, please post the big baby in 8-bit graphics? Please, I need this. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s haunting me. The big baby in 8-bit graphics—it’s all I have left. Please, you don’t understand. The world is falling apart, and I’m sitting here, clinging to the hope that someone, anyone, will post the big baby in 8-bit graphics. Please, I’m not asking for much. Just the big baby. In 8-bit. Please. Please, I need it. I need it more than air, more than water, more than anything. The big baby in 8-bit graphics is my last hope. Please, if you have any shred of decency, just post the big baby in 8-bit graphics. Please. I’m begging. Please..
