Latest revision as of 11:55, October 21, 2024


Peanuts is a multimedia entertainment franchise created by Charles M. Schulz. It began with the Peanuts comic strip, whose original print run was from 1950 to 2000 and has since been published in reruns. Peanuts become a multimedia franchise in 1965 with the airing of the first animated television special, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

The franchise has produced many other animated television specials, four feature-length films, an animated television program, video games and a stage musical. In addition, numerous books exist, both compilations from the comic strip and original works based on the strip.

Peanuts and its characters have been referred to numerous times on The Simpsons: in television episodes, comic stories and other media.

References to Peanuts in The Simpsons[edit]

Episodes[edit]

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
Miracles Always Happen.png 1 1 "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" Bart says, "If TV has taught me anything, it's that miracles always happen to poor kids at Christmas" and cites Charlie Brown as an example, referring to the TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Treehouse of Horror II Trick-or-Treaters.png 3 42 "Treehouse of Horror II" During the opening sequence, the group of trick-or-treaters walking by the Simpson home are wearing the same costumes as the Peanuts gang are in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
THOH IV Peanuts parody.png 5 86 "Treehouse of Horror IV" In the segment "Bart Simpson's Dracula", the Simpsons are all transformed into vampires and are about to attack Lisa. At the last second, they all stop, look into the camera and say "Happy Halloween!" Then, in a parody of the end of A Charlie Brown Christmas, they sing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" while Milhouse plays the piano (à la Schroeder) and Santa's Little Helper dances (a. la. Snoopy).
Bart Newspaper Diversion.png 101 "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" Freddy Quimby is on trial for beating up a waiter and Bart knows he's innocent (having witnessed what actually happened) but doesn't want to come forward because he saw the incident while ditching school. When a newspaper story about the trial becomes the topic of conversation at breakfast, Bart tries to change the subject: He quickly grabs the paper, turns to the funnies, and says, "Oh, look. Charlie Brown said 'Good grief'. Hah. I didn't see that coming."
Juvenile Hall Christmas Tree.png 7 139 "Marge Be Not Proud" When Bart imagines what Christmas would be like in Juvenile Hall, the Christmas tree seen under the row of stockings with inmate numbers looks just like Charlie Brown's tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Snoopy Puzzle - Burns, Baby Burns.png 8 157 "Burns, Baby Burns" At the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer wakes up from a nap and finds that Larry Burns is his new officemate. When he learns that Larry is Mr. Burns's son, Homer panics and brushes a nearly-completed jigsaw puzzle of Snoopy off of his workstation.
Mrs Krabappel Chili Hallucination.png 162 "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer" During Homer's chili hallucination, he hears Mrs. Krabappel speaking with a muted trombone "wa wa wa" sound, similar to how adults' voices are rendered in the TV specials.
Gradeschoolconfidential7.png 172 "Grade School Confidential" A half-melted Charlie Brown candle can be seen on Edna's kitchen table.
Retirement Castle Residents Dancing.png 9 188 "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace" When the Simpson family visit Springfield Retirement Castle, they are surprised to find the residents dancing animatedly around the dayroom. (Grampa explains that "The pharmaceutical man come by and he shot us full of Christmas cheer.") The residents' dance moves are based on those of the kids during the play rehearsal scene of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Snake's Hair - Security Blanket.png 10 207 "Treehouse of Horror IX" At the end of the "Hell Toupée" segment, after the Springfield Police shoot Snake's disembodied hair to death, Maggie adopts it as a security blanket and holds it in a pose like Linus with his security blanket.
Dolly - Snoopy head.png 215 "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday" When Dolly Parton leaves for the half-time show at the Super Bowl after helping Homer, Wally Kogen and the others out of the stadium jail, she turns down Krusty the Clown's request to go out with him and leaves donning a rocket pack and a dog mask resembling Snoopy with white ears.
Dancing Sloth.png 218 "Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"" A tranquilizer dart intended for a charging rhinoceros instead hits a three-toed sloth in the butt. After being hit by the dart, the sloth briefly dances a jig like Snoopy before it falls asleep and collapses.
CouchGagS12E06.png 12 254 "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes" During the couch gag, when the family enter the living room they find Santa's Little Helper dancing in front of the couch like Snoopy, while "Linus and Lucy" (the up-tempo piano jazz tune which has become the de facto theme song of Peanuts) plays in the background.
Homer Animotion Suit - HOMЯ.png 257 "HOMЯ" Animotion's dog character, whom Homer portrays via a motion-capture suit, resembles Snoopy.
Homer on doghouse.png 263 "Hungry, Hungry Homer" Bart finds Homer sleeping on a doghouse in the backyard (similar to Snoopy) and utters Charlie Brown's "Good grief!" catchphrase.
Burns Dancing.png 13 273 "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love" When Mr. Burns is dancing with Gloria at Stu's Disco, his dance moves are just like those of "5" (the spiky-haired boy wearing an orange shirt) during the play rehearsal scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Chalkboard274.png 274 "The Blunder Years" In the chalkboard gag, Bart writes, "I am not Charlie Brown on acid".
Bart-Lisa-Costumes1.png
Bart-Lisa-Costumes2.png 		15 314 "Treehouse of Horror XIV" During the opening sequence, Bart and Lisa return home from trick-or-treating, costumed as Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt. Bart complains about getting circus peanuts, raisins and nicotine gum in his treats, a reference to Charlie Brown getting rocks at every house while trick-or-treating in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

You're in the Matrix, Charlie Brown.png 327 "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner" The movie You're in the Matrix, Charlie Brown (a parody of the film The Matrix and the television special You're in Love, Charlie Brown) was shown at Springfield Googolplex Theatres.
Happiness Is a Warm Poppy.png 16 336 "Treehouse of Horror XV" In the second act, "Four Beheadings and a Funeral", the sign on the front door of the opium den reads "Happiness is a warm poppy", a pun on the Peanuts book Happiness Is a Warm Puppy (and a reference to opium being produced from the poppy plant).

Later, "Snoopy" forces them at gunpoint to withdraw cash from an ATM and give it to him.
The Monkey Suit Peanut.png 377 "The Monkey Suit" After Marge read The Origin of Species‎, she said that Charles Darwin gave a very persuasive argument, and that his ship was called the Beagle, which reminded her of Snoopy, her favorite Peanut. She then looked at a photo of herself posing with someone wearing a Snoopy costume.
More Hardships.png 378 "Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play" When Marge questions whether she and Homer should be giving marriage advice, Homer replies, "We've been through more hardships than the Jews and Charlie Brown put together."
Good Grief, More Peanuts.png 18 381 "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em" When Marge learns that someone at Springfield Elementary School has a life-threatening peanut allergy and peanut products are no longer allowed on school property, she immediately removes all the peanut products from Bart's lunchbox—including a copy of Good Grief, More Peanuts.

It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse.png 20 424 "Treehouse of Horror XIX" The segment "It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse" is a parody of the TV special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and of the Peanuts franchise and characters in general.

TYBoC Charlie Brown.png 552 "The Yellow Badge of Cowardge" On the Fourth of July, an unnamed kid dresses up as a ghost, but with too many eyeholes (like Charlie Brown's Halloween costume in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown) and Nelson tells him "Wrong holiday, Charlie Brown!"
You're a Good Witch, Broom Hilda.png 27 592 "How Lisa Got Her Marge Back" One of the plays being advertised in Capital City is You're a Good Witch, Broom Hilda, a parody of the Peanuts stage musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

(At the last second, Homer decides to hit Gil.)
This Isn't You're a Good Man Charlie Brown.png 29 620 "Springfield Splendor" Theatrical director Guthrie Frenel produces a stage musical adaption of the Sad Girl comic, which was based on Lisa's life.

Comics[edit]

Picture Comic issue Story name Reference
Benjamin Franklin Vs Kite-Eating Tree.jpg Simpsons Comics #39 Sense and Censorability Bart gives a report on Benjamin Franklin. In his version of Franklin's kite experiment, Franklin deliberately gets the kite with the key stuck in a tree (which he calls "my archenemy") hoping that the key will attract lightning which will strike the tree. When his plan succeeds and the tree is struck by lightning, Franklin triumphantly cries, "Kite-eating tree, I'll see you in hell!!!", referencing Charlie Brown's recurring battles with the kite-eating tree in Peanuts.
Bart and Kite-Eating Tree.jpg Simpsons Comics #61 The Paper Chase Bart's kite is caught and eaten by a kite-eating tree, which prompts him to exclaim "Good grief!", and Sherri and Terri call him a blockhead:

As Homer smashes through a pile of money, he says, "This mansion is bigger than the inside of Snoopy's doghouse." Homer's observation is a reference to a longtime running gag in Peanuts about Snoopy's doghouse being much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Books[edit]

Picture Book Reference
The Bart Book In Bart's "Stuff to Do" list, item #30 is "Get little red-haired girl to notice me." He then corrects himself: "No wait, that's on Charlie Brown's To-Do List."
Junior Camper Badge-Fussbudgeting.png Flanders' Book of Faith "Fussbudgeting" is one of the many Junior Camper merit badges that Ned Flanders has earned. The badge is an obvious reference to Peanuts, as it shows Lucy van Pelt with an outraged expression on her face. Also, in the early years of the comic strip, Lucy was often called a "fussbudget" by the other characters.
