The eighth Peanuts TV Special, You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown originally aired on CBS October 29, 1972, nine days before that year's United States presidential election between Senator George McGovern (D) and President Richard Nixon (R). In this Election Day Episode, an election for Student Council President is announced and Linus van Pelt enters, with his campaign backed by Charlie Brown and Linus' elder sister, Lucy.Paired (in edited form) on ABC from 2006-19 (and often on DVD in full) with It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, due to Halloween's proximity to the American fall election season and Linus bringing up the Great Pumpkin during his final debate. Followed by There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown in 1973. | |

Instantly Proven Wrong | |
| You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown / int_14180452 | comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: Linus claims in his first campaign speech that his first order of action will be to meet with the school board, but Lucy then whispers into his ear, forcing him to retract his statement. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Linus opting to preach about the Great Pumpkin during his final campaign speech is analogous to a politician deciding to incorporate religion into their speeches. More often than not, it backfires. | |

Graceful Loser: Russell spends the entire special being a passive competitor and never antagonizing Linus, and once the tiebreaker vote comes down to him, he believes that Linus would ultimately be a better president and votes for him. | |

As the Good Book Says... | |
| You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: Given that this is the same guy who most famously quoted the Scripture on stage, of course he'll incorporate some biblical allusions into his campaign, such as how his administration would release us from our spiritual Babylon and bring down the false idols in high places. | |

Student Council President | |
| You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown / int_2f6a98f5 | comment |
Student Council President: What the election is set to determine. The way that Linus describes his administration makes it sound like the school runs an Absurdly Powerful Student Council, but as logic would dictate, this turns out to not be the case. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While Linus wins the election, he's quickly taken aback by the realization that he's still strictly subordinate to the faculty and in fact, like most student government positions, has no real power. He is also seen sheepishly exiting and apologizing to the principal, probably because the latter wasn't thrilled by Linus' "bringing down the false idols" comment. While Linus did lose some support over bringing up the Great Pumpkin in his last speech, at least he fared better than in the original comic strip storyline, as apparently no one wanted to elect someone who believes in such childish and ridiculous things as the Great Pumpkin, let alone as school president. | |

Animal Goes to School: Snoopy infiltrates the Peanuts Gang's school under his "Joe Cool" persona but isn't found out until he tries to answer a math problem by stating his paw, afterwards he is booted off the premises. Becomes a Brick Joke later on as Linus says during his campaign speech that any dog who wander onto school premises will be welcomed with open arms, which cuts to the beagle applauding him, as he somehow snuck into the school auditorium. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Linus is an avid believer of the Great Pumpkin, sure, but deciding to incorporate it into his final electoral speech was an incredibly stupid move, dropping his approval rating from 98% to 50%; not helped by his claim of, "It is depressing to think that there are students who don't believe in the Great Pumpkin." In fact, what was that thing he said back in It's the Great Pumpkin that he didn't follow up on here? "There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin." | |
