Happy New Year Charlie Brown Part 2 of 2

[nellie2581]

Charlie is really in love with Heather, the red-haired girl

[Violet2279]

@Akron162 What is canon?

[Violet2279]

WHY ARE THEY DRINKING ROOT BEER?!?!?!?! They're to young!!!! I wish I looked like Heather, someone who is pretty!!!

[nellie2581]

@Violet2279 Root beer is just soda, there's no alcohol

[jdbrad07]

I would've fucked Linus up Lmao what a bitch

[Ragnarokr]

War and peace, crime and punishment... do even cartoons these days even have such rich literature and cultural references or something even close?

[Akron162]

If i was charlie brown: YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD TO ME, LINUS!!! YOU HEAR? YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD!!!

[magumagujelly]

SO THE LITTLE RED HAIRED GIRLS NAME IS HEATHER

[blackandblue812]

I love the red headed girl... -3

[seemadan]

What kind of teacher gives these children books that would be given as in college or high school, what are they insane?

[TimothyMably]

"This year, I'm only going to dread one day at a time."

[frogger72192]

8:56 pretend the nostrils are eyes lmfao

[aliu1995]

@Nova7400 It's a tv show. Calm down.

[kirazinn]

Funny! I love watching this cartoon on new years eve.

[supersexyghotmew95]

What little Sally's thinking " lady's and gentlemen may I present linus van pelt or as I like to call him MINI CHARLIE DUH WINNING SHEEN"

[Nova7400]

Why are they not wearing coats if it's cold enough for there to be snow on the ground--are they trying to catch the flu? And what's with leaving the door open? I guess power heat wasn't so expensive back then, huh?

[KappaMummy]

Marcie > Heather

[sweatersnug]

omg is the little red haired girl's name HEather???

[Akron162]

@sweatersnug only in the cartoons, charles schulz insisted in that nothing that happened in the cartoons is canon.

[mytimton]

Nowadays if you do what Linus did, you risk being shot lol

[LoganTasker101]

6:18 dont let theants get in the shitter

[LoganTasker101]

@LoganTasker101 6:16

[TheJonMastu1011]

I'm surprised their teacher's not fired for giving them difficult assignments.

[MrPman851]

@TheJonMastu1011, no wonder the school system in America's screwed up and other countries are beating us in education rankings.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@TheJonMastu1011 We all know how smart Linus is and how advanced his knowledge of things is for his age, and he doesn't seem to be the smartest kid in the whole school either.

[piscesbaby101]

Linus always gets the girls. Poor Charlie

[spoonisfeifei]

why is he reading the book backwards?

[themultiman1000]

@spoonisfeifei Cartoon gags are so abundant u wouldn't believe it! #notimplyingsarcasm

[dod127]

Why was CB the only one that had to read it?

[alexser614]

So if I put an "All Rights Reserved" banner over any video, I can upload it on youtube...?

[Shotgunryugan]

Just looking at the book bores me,poor Charlie :(

thanks 4 the upload.

[hbnful]

en español porfa

[isre100]

I just LOVE woodstock! :3

[kd4adv]

The voices are not the originals. This is why I don't watch anymore.

[TheGreatlytouched]

lmao @ their faces while singing @ 8:58

[TheGreatlytouched]

lmao @ charlie browns musical chairs dance

[princesssuperblue]

I now hate linus

[Jam24511]

2 people got told on by Patty and Sally :(

[AnukTheMaster1000]

I found 4:52! :D

[MichaelSar12IsBack]

The part where Charlie Brown misses the new year coming really burns my blood (and I'd STOP being friends with Linus after this).

[Hotiechic101]

marcie is always there to save the day

[galenator123]

7:28 did any one notice chuck is reading the book backwards?

[cutiesinger100]

i watch charlie brown every night does anyone know any other charlie brown shows

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Yes, in that order. Another musical, you might wonder? What can I say? If that's the only way ta get them to grow, so be it. Admittedly, I don't know how ta treat those other songs, but I digress.

And, I'm off.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

The songs also indicate that the producers still had a bit more of promotional tidbits to include in the cartoon like Flashbeagle before it. So was this supposed to be a sequel? If so, why not toss in some more developmental moments while yer at it (musical or otherwise)? Maybe give that horrible MV fer Don't Give Up, CB the proper ending it deserves. You could go like this:

Let's Have A Party; Some Day, CB; Foxtrot; Don't Give Up, CB...

[SyntaxMagenta]

@U1986NuclearGrounds And yet even more reasons to why Don't Give Up CB was much better on the Flashbeagle album than on the show the MV was on. I portrayed the music video for the special completely different, since I heard the Flashbeagle version of the song first.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Ugh, that music video. I had my own redux of said vid posted but gave it to doctorkazoo, who hasn't yet reposted it.

Did you have YOURS taken off due to some "technicality", or what?

[SyntaxMagenta]

@U1986NuclearGrounds I don't know. I can't even find it for some reason.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Wait, I remember a slide show where a blond girl (whom I assume to be Sally, but bears more semblance to Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls) got to sing some of Linus' lines early on?

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Then the producers got to do just that. With its cancellation, I think this special came about because someone really enjoyed working on the show and was mad that this arc never made it in. Flashbeagle may not have been very structurally written, but I found it to be more of a New Year's special than what we got here.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

"To the loving memory of Bernie Gruver." Some dedication. That poor man and his loved ones.

As we'll see much later, the story arc itself seems more fitting as an ep of The CB And Snoopy Show, rather than its own half-hour special. Too bad low ratings killed the show the year prior. Before the show, the specials were getting more implausible and rushed, hinting a desire to make a running TV series.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

And Linus...ooooh. "They wrote this book using minimal resources. You should show appreciation by reading it." The little sleaze bucket emotionally manipulates his friend, enforces him selectively, and steals his girl AGAIN. Why, I bet when Charlie got his hand caught in that mail slot, Linus just left 'im there ta suffer. Linus, you DESERVE ta have Lucy beat you up and ruin yer horrible blanket after this.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Every time I see that gag, I can't help mentally screaming fer the unwilling bowling pins to just step outta the way; jump over it; or kick it back. It's the late 1980s, darn it! And they're not infants!

I see the LRHG's back to her Lila phase. Guess the producers must've thought Lila was prettier than Mary Jo. But if I had my picks this time as to who I hated most, they'd hafta be PP and Linus. Same as the third and fourth movies, PP's just too pushy and dumb, and I can't tolerate it.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

(B) This cartoon premiered - on New Year's Day, no less - in 1986. My birth year. I mean, yes, there were the Challenger and Chernobyl, but...didn't they think ANY good would come out of 1986? Does this one now come off as some omen of all the things wrong with that year?

How fitting that that snowball gag, which I hate even more than the one where a baseball knocks off most of Charlie's clothes, oughta complete the opening.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

You and Sally just leave him alone! (calms down) Okay. Okay. I'm cool now. Pardon the tantrum. Does it sound like I've snapped? If so, you'd be correct. And here's why:

(A) Not only is the plot cruel and unusual, but this was my first Peanuts cartoon ever. Seriously. All the better-written ones that already existed, and THIS train wreck found its way ta me first. It doesn't help that it's nestled between the two Broadway specials, both being worth far more time and effort.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Stupid jerks! I asked you before, I'm asking again: Why can't you see you're hurting him?! Why?! WHY?! And what's this junk about Linus not enjoying himself with Sally, or Schroeder to Lucy? Or about Schroeder not dancing, or Charlie not knowing how ta dance? What about Flashbeagle? What about You're A Good Man, CB, which only aired two months prior?! And PP, if yer looking fer Charlie, why don't you check the bench where you last left 'im?!

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Okay, jerks! What'd you do to Gulliver's Travels?! Yes, I read the corresponding story arc of the comics. Charlie (and fer that matter, THE WHOLE CLASS) had to do book reports on Gulliver's Travels, and he got a bad grade due to his own procrastination. But here? He has to do one of the harshest books possible fer someone his age; everybody keeps holding him back and won't let 'im explain; and the teacher...don't get me started.

[SnowbirdFlock]

@U1986NuclearGrounds I have that Gulliver's Travels comic in "You're not for Real, Snoopy". Maybe you have the same book? I like that how he thought he could read a 254-page book in the afternoon & write a report on it that evening. This was clearly a spin-off from the GT comic

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

A really BAD spinoff. I used gocomics.com.

[SnowbirdFlock]

@U1986NuclearGrounds I can't say I like it much either. Yeah, Linus is supposedly CB's best friend. This isn't the only time I've seen him do this to CB.... So, gocomics.com is where you saw all the CB comics? Very good to know, I'll have to check that out

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

You should see them in Someday You'll Find Her, CB.

[SnowbirdFlock]

@U1986NuclearGrounds I've been looking for that here on YT, but there's not much to be found. Oh well

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

Unbelievable. You'd think the people giving us this junk would actually watch it themselves before releasing it. Maybe then they'd realize the damage they're causing us! Ah, but I wouldn't count on it.

War And Peace? Yer joking, right? A book that long and hard to read fer young kids (generally speaking; no offense), full of illegitimacy, seduction, attempted suicide, and all that junk...assigned to an elementary schooler? And then Crime And Punishment, which is similar in nature?

[icecream09871234]

Poor Charlie Brown..........

[eddiemurphyfan100]

i would've kicked Linus's ass if he did that to me

[sweatersnug]

@eddiemurphyfan100 lol same here :D

[supersexyghotmew95]

@twilightangelofdeath you should read the 50s comic strip he was like the dude version of lucy :)

[author1251]

I like the number they did for musical chairs.

[paulborri]

I wonder what grade did Linus get on his war and peace assignment and how did he get it done already?

[strudel89]

Im so glad charles had a bad new year,he was so annoying in the 50s strips,this was changed in the 60s but believe it,he was like a male version of lucy

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

I don't care. Disproportionate retribution is too much.

[twilightangelofdeath]

OMG! I hate how everyone is so cruel to Charlie Brown.... I can't understand how everyone can be so mean to him....

[AquaMarcella]

Good Grief Peppermint Patty! can't you rezpect the fact Charlie Brown doesn't fancy you?

[laurenhooba]

how cute, snoopy and woodstock dressed in a top hat and tails.

[mely5800]

if i wer charlie id jst get the spark notes!!

[KateNotKaty]

Mimi, Heather, Janice, Sally.... LINUS IS SUCH A PLAYER!!!

[clairemarksnoopy]

why does CB read war and peace backwards?

[TTBurger88]

i actually think linus and heather make a good couple

[megashilba]

@TTBurger88 funny enough, i recently found out that sparky almost ended peanuts in the 70s. If that had happened, Linus and Heather would have been a couple and Charlie Brown would have ended up with Marcie

[VanillaNEKO69]

3:28 why is marcie just randomly holding schroeder's hand O.O (and lucy's not mad)

[sunnygurl09]

That is too funny that Peppermint Patty is jealous that Charlie Brown likes the little red haired girl and not her! I cracked up everytime CB mentioned the little red haired girl's name around PP and she just exploded! LOL XD

[Multiemotional25]

Peppermint Patty and Sally sure got a lot of nerve blaming Charlie Brown for things that happened at the party that were not his fault.

[SilverRanger92]

I would bloody kill Linus for dancing with the little red haired girl

[Multiemotional25]

@SilverRanger92 Peppermint Patty and Sally sure got a lot of nerve blaming Charlie Brown for things that happened at the party that were not his fault. I think you should do the same thing to them too.

[AlextheGreat011]

Snoop the dog rules!!!!

[Devosworld1]

Little did they know, Charlie Brown was suffering from severe depression and is in need of help.

[TheGreshProject]

I wached this 30 mins before the new year thank you for uploading

[Devosworld1]

Did anyone notice that Charlie brown says "Keep the ants out of the shitter" at 6:18 ?

[HappyHolidays1000]

@Devosworld1 um, he is saying SUGAR

[Devosworld1]

@HappyHolidays1000 Oooohhhhhhh. XD LOL. Me and my family were watching this and we were all like "Did he just say 'keep the ants out of the shitter'?"

[HappyHolidays1000]

@Devosworld1 lol yeah. it does kind of sound like that :P

[bestgame24]

@Devosworld1 keep the ants out of the SUGAR

[PestramiShowALT]

0:12 Yup, he worries stuff and they come true.... Tsk Tsk poor Charlie Brown.

[MISCrazyaboutvideos]

LOLing at Snoopy sniffing Lucy's root beer.

[ThoGunArm]

Remember, no one wants to be Charlie Brown, BECAUSE IT SUCKS TO BE HIM!!!!!!!!!
