It looks like hiring a private investigator to search for your ginger childhood BFF Chuckie Finster was a poor financial move. It probably doesn't bode well for your emotional health, either.

Our favorite conspiracy theorist and dream crusher, Kyle, is back with a hypothesis about the Rugrats that will blow your mind -- none of it actually happened.

And this web of lies goes all the way to the top. See, according to Kyle's extensive research, Tommy and the gang seem to just be creations of Nickelodeon, except for one character, who is currently living in Florida. Are Kenan and Kel even real? There's no way to know for certain.

The babies who were always there for you in your time of need, and Angelica Pickles, the harsh mentor who whipped you into shape, didn't actually exist, despite how real it all felt. They were just pawns placed in front of your naive eyes to sell Gak.

So it looks like you have a better chance of hanging out with Ed Sheeran than Chuckie.
