Headscratchers / Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown

Go To

  • Did Charlie Brown ever think about his actions? He’s probably wanted now by the police for mass murder and whatnot. He really could’ve just left town to get away from his friends.
    • Considering everyone was actively attempting to kill him, it's a clear-cut case of self-defense.
  • Did everyone’s parents or even the police know about all this?
    • Lucy is allowed to torment Charlie Brown and sell questionable advice without ever having a parent ground her or make her give the money back. Even if they did know, what would they even say? "Wah, wah-wah-wah, wah-wah-waaaaaahhh, wah-waaaaaahh"?
  • Why did The Great Pumpkin even put a bounty on his head? What did he ever do to him? Considering the fact that he never actually existed, to begin with.
    • Take the advice of Joel Hodgeson, Crow, and Tom Servo; "It's only just a show, I should really just relax..."
  • More specifically, why is even his own dog trying to kill him?
    • Rabies.
  • How did Charlie Brown grow a Mohawk and even have access to guns in such a short amount of time? Was he wearing a wig? And don’t even get me started on the fact that he ages in less than a couple of seconds.
    • Puberty kicked in, as did his NRA membership. This is also a good ten years before Columbine and gun laws were incredibly lax.
  • Why did he say "Happiness is a warm uzi" if he never used one?
    • How is he able to hit every target easily despite the fact we've never seen ol' CB hold so much as a water pistol?
  • How was Hitler there? This clearly is set in the 60s.
  • While the gunfight is happening, what was that montage toward the end supposed to mean?
    • It means the same thing as the Mind Screw montage at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey; absolutely nothing.
  • Of course, Charlie Brown survives being blown up, getting shot in the shoulder, being crushed by a piano, his arm being violently bitten off, and getting strangled by Linus. Something tells me this is a superhuman Charlie Brown.
    • You must not be a fun person to watch Wile E. Coyote cartoons with.
  • Why was Pigpen vomiting in Violet’s face?
    • He was auditioning for The Exorcist III.
