The 27th Peanuts TV Special, It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown originally aired on CBS on April 16, 1984.This special was designed to be a love letter to the post-disco craze of The '80s, taking much inspiration from the likes of MTV and Flashdance. The story is set up in musical vignette format, jumping from one plot thread to the next in a very short timespan, allowing for each segment to have their own dedicated song numbers. Snoopy gets major focus in a majority of the segments, culminating in him donning his now-(in)famous "Flashbeagle" alter-ego.

That Reminds Me of a Song: While "Flashbeagle" and "Pig-Pen Hoedown" are directly incorporated into the story, this ends up being the case with "Peppermint Patty's P.E. Program (I'm in Shape!)" and "Lucy Says".

Improvised Clothes: Snoopy's Flashbeagle attire is made of one single sweater made into a t-shirt, with the top hole cut off to form the headband, while the sleeves are cut off to form the leg-warmers.

Passionate Sports Girl: Explored in "Peppermint Patty's P.E. Program (I'm in Shape!)". Peppermint Patty laments that she's not nearly as cute as the Little Red-Haired Girl, doesn't have Frieda's naturally curly hair, or has Lucy's intelligence, but she takes great pride in her athletic prowess, which impresses even her dad.

Self-Serving Memory: Sally reminisces on her experiences with Linus at parties, whether being asked out by him or being invited to dance with him. Charlie Brown and even Linus himself point out that such instances never happened, to which Sally replies, "Well, it/you should have!"

There Are No Adults: Surprisingly averted. At first, the special starts off this way, but once Snoopy and Franklin arrive to the discothèque, there are adults physically shown dancing in pairs to the music.

I Drank WHAT?!: Charlie Brown is initially flattered by Snoopy's offer of a cup of punch, but ends up gagging himself once he realizes that not only has Snoopy sipped the straws of every cup of punch, but Woodstock was outright swimming in the punch bowl.

Shout-Out
 It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Snoopy's attire, the visual style of the special, and the genre of music are all meant to be homages to Flashdance. The way that Peppermint Patty says, "Hey, Linus," in "Peppermint Patty's P.E. Program (I'm in Shape!)" is a reference to Toni Basil's "Mickey".

Training from Hell: Peppermint Patty's extreme P.E. program is shown to be agonizing to all of the students she's training, but in particular, Charlie Brown can't keep up, and is shown to be physically exhausted by the end when nobody else is.
