Line 216:
* [[Four-Girl Ensemble]]: While the four main female characters aren't really that much of an ensemble, they still fit this trope with Sally (the sweet, naive one), Peppermint Patty (the mannish one), Marcie (the smart one) and Lucy (the glamorous, bossy one... kind of).
** They weren't an ensemble in the strip itself, but merchandising sometimes paints them as such, probably due to this trope.
* [[Free Prize At the Bottom]]: One [[Story Arc]] concerned getting one free marble in a box of Snicker-Snacks cereal. In [https://web.archive.org/web/20111209081600/http://www.comicscommunity.com/boards/tony/?frames=n;read=227734&expand=1 one strip] Charlie Brown found that the packing center made an error - there were 400 marbles and one Snicker-Snack.
* [[Free-Range Children]]
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Lucy's mistreatment of Charlie Brown suddenly makes a lot more sense when you look at the [http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1952/10/30/ early strips.]
Line 358:
* [[Precocious Crush]]: Linus had one on his teacher, Miss Othmar.
* [[Prehensile Hair|Prehensile Blanket]]: Linus, of course, as required by either the [[Rule of Cool]] or the [[Rule of Funny]].
* [[Product Placement]]: Reversed - the characters appeared in Ford Falcon ads and showroom brochures from [http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=43051 1961]{{Dead link}} through [http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=43548 1965]{{Dead link}}.
** The first couple animated specials had product placement for Coca-Cola, forcing certain scenes to be excised after the initial network airings.
** Snoopy also seems to be a mascot for MetLife insurance, to the point of being in their commercials and much of their merchandise.
Line 465:
* [[Surprise Jump]]: Charlie Brown and Sally are walking to school. While waiting for the bus, Charlie Brown tells Lucy that Sally is so scared about her first day of kindergarten that if someone even mentions kindergarten while she's around, she'd jump 30 feet in the air. Putting this theory to the test, Lucy says "Kindergarten" to Sally, who then promptly jumps up into the air in fear. Lucy then muses, "Only 10 feet. I knew you were exaggerating."
* [["Take That!" Kiss]]: Snoopy uses this fairly frequently.
* [[Thanksgiving Episode|Thanksgiving Balloon]]: Snoopy most likely holds the record for number of individual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloons—from [http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2008/11/26/gal_balloon_1979_snoopy.jpg his original balloon in his aviators garb], to him [http://www.worldofstock.com/slides/PCT12351.jpg going ice skating with friend Woodstock]{{Dead link}} to him [http://www.caribill.com/files/Pb230252.jpg First ringing in the new millenium] and the next year being [http://blog.rounds.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/2000snoopy.jpg repurposed into celebrating the parade's 75th year in 2000], and finally coming full circle [http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2375/2055373971_68c3b9f50d.jpg in an updated version of the aviator balloon] this time complete with 3-D goggles and field glasses.

** In the movie ''[[Tower Heist]]'' (which took place on Thanksgiving Day), the characters rode on a large Snoopy balloon to reach the top of a building.
