It… *really* isn't… O_o

I don't know how or why, but I managed to see "Bon Voyage" as a kid more times than "Great Pumpkin" and "Merry Christmas" combined. I might have to do my own Memory Wipe of it…

I've only been able to find this little clip of "Girl in the Red Truck", but it honestly looks like the most deeply upsetting Peanuts special ever made, and I am not forgetting the one where they visit Normandy beach or the one where Linus' friend undergoes chemotherapy.

I'll go to bat for "Flashbeagle". Yeah, that title is ghastly, but the title song is dope and some of the other songs like "Lucy Says" and "Pig Pen Hoedown" are every bit as good as the songs in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown".

The first one is genuinely good. Then they lost me about halfway through the second one.

"Slumber Party" is indeed the second half of the fourth episode ever. Yikes.

Oh man, "Peace on Earth" is something else. It starts with cute little animals singing Christmas carols, then one little squirrel innocently asks, "Granpa, what's a human?" and it takes a hard right turn into apocalyptic horror.

I started with Bulbasaur. Her gym scared me on a whole other level.

That scene's just weird-creepy. How about the waking nightmare that is the cliffhanger ending of part one? I don't care that the monster literally looks like hot garbage, the whole scene really is right out of a childhood nightmare.

Toilet? I don't think that was "Pee-Wee's Playhouse", dude…

It's by Chuck Jones and, after a seemingly endless slow start, it's very nice.

That's the thing that kills me the most. If they'd just dressed in the same clothes as the characters and furry suits for Snoopy and Woodstock, it'd be cute. Cheap and low-effort but cute.

"We Have Such Sights to Show You, Charlie Brown"
"Pain Has a Face, Allow Me To Show It To You, Charlie Brown"
"We Came Back Wrong, Charlie Brown"

Holy shit, this. The movie's so pat and boring up until this point and this fucking scene appears right after a dorky song about how sharing is good and another song that's a lousy take on "Somewhere Out There". Then *bam*, Wayne Barlowe fever dream nightmare Hell. And since Charlie's afterlife options in this film

What's up, fellow "Parents Let You Watch 'Poltergeist' As a Little Kid Cause it's PG, Has Kids in it, and is by That Nice 'ET' Director Guy" peeps?

(Watches clip thinking, "How scary could an episode of 'Salute Your Shorts' be?"

Speaking of "Sesame Street" and barbers, something about this sketch (the weirdly melancholy song? The gross giant pile of hair with the chorus trapped underneath?) scared the crap out of me as a child: https://youtu.be/gbAcoIscd7U

And the fact that the hero of the story barely makes it through! What hope is there for the rest of us?
