You're In Love, Charlie Brown

Episode Summary

A boy likes a girl and wants to talk to her before the school year finishes. He doesn't. Also, a dog makes his own breakfast.

Episode Notes

We review 1967's You're In Love, Charlie Brown, in which Charlie Brown repeatedly divests himself of all responsibility for his foolish, self-defeating choices. This largely embarrassing specimen of a Charlie Brown special is redeemed by the introduction of Grown-Up Trombone Voice, the Little Red Haired Girl, & Peppermint Patty!

Topics of discussion include:

• peanut butter sandwiches;
• garbage playground taunt songs;
• putting hair poofs & breasts on cartoon birds;
• a delicate whisper of leafblower noise in the background of this sound mix;
• the coining of the superlative "trilbiest";
• chaos muppets;
• Charlie Brown as assassin;
• Aunt Miriam, Marian Call's grizzled in-universe counterpart;
• several exemplars of terrible behavior
