# Stu Making Chocolate Pudding At 4 AM Stu Making Chocolate Pudding At 4 AM is a YouTube Poop remix series built on a scene from the 1993 Rugrats episode "Angelica Breaks a Leg," where tired dad Stu Pickles confesses he is awake before dawn making pudding "because I've lost control of my life." YouTuber Lustikk re-uploaded the clean clip in May 2010, and within weeks 4chan's /v/ board turned Stu's defeated line into a template for over one hundred YouTube Poop remixes. ## Origin The clip comes from the Rugrats season 3 episode "Angelica Breaks a Leg," which first aired on Nickelodeon on November 7, 1993, and shows DiDi catching Stu in the kitchen before dawn making chocolate pudding for his demanding niece[3]. YouTuber Lustikk re-uploaded the isolated scene to YouTube on May 11, 2010, giving remixers a clean, standalone source file to work with[1]. Five days later, on May 16, 2010, the earliest archived 4chan thread treating the clip as an exploitable appeared on the /v/ board, with posters trading edits of Stu's dialogue and face[3]. Nickelodeon and the Klasky Csupo studio produced the original cartoon; the fan editors who turned the scene into a meme format on 4chan and YouTube are not individually credited. - **Platform:** YouTube (source upload) / 4chan /v/ (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2010 ## Overview Editors treat the 30-second Rugrats clip as raw YouTube Poop material, chopping Stu's lines into stutter loops, pitching his voice down to a defeated groan, and splicing his face into unrelated cartoons so the "lost control of my life" admission lands against surreal visuals[1]. A typical Stu edit layers the pudding scene with sentence-mixing, abrupt earrape stingers, and a final jab from niece Angelica declaring she is no longer hungry, which lets the remixer frame Stu's suffering as the real punchline[2]. On 4chan's /v/ board, the same scene produced a parallel image-macro habit where posters swap Stu's dialogue with their own confessions of personal defeat about videogames, exams, or sleep deprivation[3]. The exploitable survived past its initial 2010 run as foundational YouTube Poop source footage, with new remixes still appearing on YouTube years later[4]. ## How to Use Common Stu edits isolate the "because I've lost control of my life" line and loop it against footage of the editor's own frustration, often a videogame failure or a different cartoon meltdown. Image-macro versions typically keep Stu's deadpan expression and swap his caption with a first-person confession about sleep, deadlines, or hunger, matching the original's exhausted deadpan[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Stu Making Chocolate Pudding At 4 AM?
