History Funny / ACharlieBrownChristmas

-->'''Charlie:''' ''[reading flyer]'' "Find the true meaning of Christmas? Win money, money, money? Spectacular, super-colossal neighborhood Christmas lights and display contest?" [[BreakingTheFourthWall Lights and display contest?! Oh, no!]] My own dog, gone commercial.

"You know, maybe Lucy's right: Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest."

-->'''Lucy:''' And get rid of that stupid blanket! What's a shepherd going to look like holding a stupid blanket like that?\\

** "I only want what's coming to me. (splice) All I want is my fair share".

** Actually, this scene counts as both this and a TearJerker.

* Schroeder trying to play ''Jingle Bells'' to Lucy's satisfaction.
** Not to mention him playing an extremely simple version with a glare on his face, then having Lucy scream "THAT'S IT!!!", sending him flying.
** His first attempt has his piano sounding like a regular grand piano, his second attempt has it sounding like an ''organ'', and his exasperated attempt actually sounds like a toy piano.

** '''Lucy''': "Yes, he's even a good [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin]]."

"You know, maybe Lucy's right -- of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest."

'''Lucy:''' I'll give you ''FIVE'' good reasons!" *''holds up five fingers and makes, finger by finger, into a fist''* "One! Two! Three! Four! ''FIVE!!''\\

-->'''Charlie:''' ''[reading flyer]'' "Find the true meaning of Christmas? Win money, money, money? Spectacular, super-colossal neighborhood Christmas lights and display contest?" Lights and display contest?! Oh, no! My own dog, gone commercial.

* Snoopy mocking Lucy's directing demands and gestures, then ducking her fist and [[TakeThatKiss licking her]] in retaliation.

-->'''Linus:''' ''Those are good reasons!'' Christmas is not only getting too commercial, it's getting ''too dangerous!''

* '''Charlie Brown''': "I've killed it..."

-->'''LINUS:''' Give me one good reason why I should memorize this.
-->'''LUCY:''' I'll give you ''FIVE'' good reasons!" *''holds up five fingers and makes, finger by finger, into a fist''* "One! Two! Three! Four! ''FIVE!!''
-->'''LINUS:''' ''Those are good reasons!'' Christmas is not only getting too commercial, it's getting ''too dangerous!''

-->'''Shermy:''' Every Christmas is the same. I always end up playing a shepherd.

** "I only want what's coming to me. (splice) All I want is my fair share".

** The original Finnish dub misses the joke completely: Sally says that she wants ''[[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels reality]]'' for Christmas.

* In a Meta example, during the 1966 Emmy Awards, when the special won the award for Outstanding Children's Program, it was mispronounced as "A Charlie ''Bound'' Christmas''. Yup, even in real life, something winds up going wrong for Charlie Brown!

** Frieda's line is even funnier if you actually HAVE naturally curly hair, and know that this is just nonsense.

** "AUGH! I've been kissed by a dog! I have dog germs! Get hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some iodine!"

** Ruined in the Polish translation, which translated this line simply as [[BlindIdiotTranslation "Something valuable!"]].

* The kids dancing, particularly Shermy doing the zombie walk and 5 doing...whatever he's doing.

* Lucy & Linus arguing over Linus having to memorize a script:

* The way Frieda says her line when she complains about having to work with Pig Pen:

** Freida's line is even funnier if you actually HAVE naturally curly hair, and know that this is just nonsense.

-->'''Frieda:''' We can't go on -- there's too much dust. It's taking the curl out of my ''naturally curly HAIR!''

** Better yet, Snoopy does an imitation of all the animals Lucy wants him to do and after she says the above-mentioned line, he jumps onto her head, imitating a vulture.

* This Exchange:
-->''(Lucy & Linus are arguing over Linus having to memorize a script)''
-->'''LINUS:''' "Just give me one good reason why I should go through such agony!"
-->'''LUCY:''' "I'll give you ''FIVE'' good reasons!" *''holds up five fingers and makes, finger by finger, into a fist''* "One! Two! Three! Four! ''FIVE!!'' "
-->'''LINUS:''' "''Those are good reasons!'' Christmas is not only getting too commercial, it's getting ''too dangerous!''"

** The original Finnish dub misses the joke completely: Sally says that she wants ''reality'' for Christmas.

** The original Finnish dub misses the joke completely: Lucy says that she wants ''reality'' for Christmas.

** Better yet, Snoopy does an imitation of all the animals Lucy wants him to do and after she says the above-mentioned line, he jumps onto her head, imitating a vulture. To this day, whenever my family and I see an animal or someone doing the vulture imitation, we immediately say, "Vulture eyes."
