According to the YouTube poster, this Peanuts-themed ad aired only once, in 1988, during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

I presume that during the football game that followed dinner at Linus’s house, Lucy pulled the football away from Charlie Brown, causing him to hilariously yet bittersweetly take an enormous flop on his back.

share and enjoy
