Redheaded people get a bit of a raw deal in life when it comes to people making jokes at their expense. It's been the case for centuries, and we doubt it's going to change any time soon. Music star Ed Sheeran is well aware that people mock him for being a 'ginger,' but he's happy to laugh it off. He even cast 'Harry Potter' star Rupert Grint in one of his videos once, because so many people get the two Brits mixed up. Perhaps next time he could use an old 'Rugrats' character instead?
'Rugrats' was a show that played a big part in the childhood of many people who'll be reading this - and some of us probably watched it long after we should really have grown out of it! Chucky Finster may not have been the main character, but the show wouldn't have been the same without him. We don't know what happened to Finster after he grew up. Perhaps he learned to play guitar, and started writing catchy but slightly sappy ballads?
