Charlie Brown

**Charles "Charlie" Brown** (called **Chuck** by Peppermint Patty and sometimes referred to as his full name by Marcie) is a major character in the *Peanuts* comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. He has been hailed as one of the best cartoon characters of all time, and he has become one of the great American archetypes.

In terms of personality, he is gentle, insecure, and lovable. Charlie Brown possesses significant determination and hope but frequently fails because of his insecurities, outside interference, or plain bad luck. While he can be smart, he over-thinks things and this often gives him a tendency to procrastinate, as well as give him his "wishy-washyness".

While all of the permanent characters (and a few minor characters) are his friends, he is often ostracized by them, and three of his friends even bully him, particularly Lucy van Pelt. Many of them (including the bullies), however, follow him as the manager of a baseball team, and that is where Charlie Brown's greatest skill, good leadership, is displayed. He leads the baseball team and keeps hoping for a victory despite their numerous failures and painful letdowns, yelling words of admirable encouragement to his players, leading them to the next game. Charlie Brown has many more traits, and his character is very deep.

Charlie Brown inherited a massive number of traits from Schulz, right down to his first name. His nickname "Charlie" and his last name "Brown" were given for Charlie Brown, one of Schulz's co-workers at the Art Instruction Inc.
Nancy Green

**Nancy Green** is a main character of Big City Greens. She is the daughter of Nick, Cricket and Tilly Green's mother and the ex-wife of Bill Green who got out of jail.

Nancy's regular attire consists of a purple tank top, blue jeans, along with a brown belt, and brown cowboy boots. Nancy is a rebellious mother figure for the Green family. She seems to show no care for authority, which is why her son Cricket seems to look up to her. Like Cricket, she has a dislike for responsibilities. However, she will show parenting like any other mom when it comes to disciplining her kids, though most of the time, she'll let them roam free in the Big City.

## Plot

After being recruited by the New York Mets to be their head scout, George is told that they can only hire him if he gets fired from the New York Yankees. However, his increasingly dramatic attempts to get fired only end up making him look better. He wears Babe Ruth's uniform and deliberately gets food stains all over it, but Mr. Steinbrenner praises him, thinking it supports an "out with the old, in with the new" mentality. George then appears to streak through Yankee Stadium during a game, but he is actually wearing a flesh-colored body suit that makes him popular with the fans. Finally, he tries to destroy a World Series Trophy by hitching it to his Buick Regal and driving through the parking lot while screaming insults to the ball club with a megaphone. This finally brings the ire of Steinbrenner, before Mr. Wilhelm appears, takes credit for telling George what to do, gets fired, and then takes the job with the Mets.

Elaine tries to run an ethnic-themed clothing store called Putumayo out of business after receiving bad customer service. First, she tries shopping at a competing store, Cinco de Mayo, but discovers that the same woman from Putumayo owns both stores. Later, she tries to get Kramer, under an alter ego named H. E. Pennypacker, to change the price tags on the labels, but he accidentally destroys the pricing gun before he can finish. Instead, he tries to take the desiccant packs from the clothing as Plan B, so he only manages to ruin the clothes in about five years, making Elaine more distressed and presumably gives up. Kramer then eats some free chips the store gives out to its customers and unknowingly drops one of the desiccant packs in the salsa dip.

Meanwhile, Jerry gets caught in a war over speed dial rankings between his girlfriend, Valerie (Lauren Graham), and her stepmother. Eventually, the stepmother hides Jerry's number in one of her emergency speed dials. Later, she is poisoned by eating desiccant from Putumayo's clothing that Kramer spilled into a bowl of salsa at the store. When Valerie tries calling poison control she ends up calling him instead, to which Jerry replies, "Wow! Poison control? That's even higher than number one!" Valerie is disgusted at this and hangs up on Jerry, thereby ending their relationship.

Finally, Kramer and Newman learn that they are each planning rival millennium parties, both on December 31, 1999 (Newman's party is called the "Newmannium"). Eventually, they agree to combine them into one party on the insistence of Newman that they not invite Jerry. However, Newman allows Jerry to come in exchange for Elaine's presence, after she had committed to Kramer's party. In the end, Jerry tells Newman that he made his reservation one year late, as he booked it for "the Millennium new year", 2001, since there was no year 0. Newman squawks with frustration and leaves.

Goofy

**Goofy** is an animated character that first appeared in 1932's Mickey's Revue. He is a tall, anthropomorphic dog who is best friends with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Along with not being extremely intelligent, Goofy's main flaw is predictably his clumsiness and incompetence, hence his name.

Originally dubbed **Dippy Dawg**, Goofy was initially conceived as a one-shot gag. However, the character was so popular amongst audiences and Walt Disney's staff (in no small part due to his signature guffaw, courtesy of Pinto Colvig) that he quickly became a recurring character in Disney shorts, eventually receiving his own series starting with Goofy and Wilbur in 1939.

Goofy would be further developed and refined by animator Art Babbit, who imbued Goofy with a good-natured, sloppy, and laid-back mien. Goofy was reinvented as an Everyman father in the 1950s—in a series of shorts that would inspire the 1992 animated series Goof Troop, in which Goofy served as the suburban single parent of his energetic son, Max Goof. Goofy would also become the first of Disney's classic characters to star in his own feature-length film, being 1995's A Goofy Movie.

Earlier in the series, he used the catch phrase "Whose leg do have to hump to get a dry martini around here?". He also has a particularly sharp wit. Peter is his best friend, despite Brian's vastly superior intelligence - on several occasions, Brian has had to explain Peter's inability to do various things, such as haggling over prices. In "Brian Goes Back to College", it is revealed that Brian went to Brown University in Rhode Island, but did not graduate. He is voiced by Seth MacFarlane.
Robin

**Richard "Dick" Grayson**, most commonly known as **Robin**, is the former protégé of Batman, as well as the leader of the Teen Titans, and one of the five main protagonists of Teen Titans Go!.

Minnie Mouse

**Minnie Mouse** is an animated anthropomorphic mouse character created by Walt Disney. She is the longtime girlfriend of Mickey Mouse, known for her sweet disposition, large head bows, and polka-dotted dresses. She is also identified by her signature catchphrase, “Yoo-hoo!”, which she affectionately calls out as a greeting. Inspired by flapper girls of the 1920s, Minnie first appeared in the short *Steamboat Willie*, released on November 18, 1928.

Minnie is traditionally depicted as a starving musician, singer, and songwriter. Her classy, yet no-nonsense demeanor serves as a foil to the troublemaking Mickey. Throughout the 1930s, Minnie was a frequent participant in Mickey’s adventures, often serving as a damsel-in-distress whom finds herself kidnapped by Peg-Leg Pete. In the 1940s, Minnie was relegated to bit parts in cartoons starring her kitten, Figaro, and Mickey's dog, Pluto. By the 1950s, she faded into obscurity altogether, and remained dormant for three decades.

Minnie was revitalized with the premiere of the 1988 television special *Totally Minnie*, her first starring role. Since then, she has endured as one of The Walt Disney Company’s most popular and significant characters. Typically partnered with Minnie's best friend, Daisy Duck, she has headlined her own cartoons, such as in *Mickey Mouse Works*, *Minnie's Bow-Toons*, and *Electric Holiday*. Paul Rudish's series of shorts sought to develop Minnie's comedy by highlighting her impulsivity and spunk while maintaining her endearing demeanor.

Traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Years' Eve. By extension, it is also often heard at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions; for instance, many branches of the Scouting movement use it to close jamborees and other functions.

## Lyrics

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and auld lang syne?

***Chorus***

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely you'll buy your pint cup!

and surely I'll buy mine!

And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

***Chorus***

We two have run about the hills,

and picked the daisies fine;

But we've wandered many a weary foot,

since auld lang syne.

***Chorus***

We two have paddled in the stream,

from morning sun till dine;

But seas between us broad have roared

since auld lang syne.

***Chorus***

And there's a hand my trusty friend!

And give me a hand o' thine!

And we'll take a right good-will draught,

for auld lang syne.
Donald Duck

**Donald Duck** (or simply referred to as “**The Duck**”[14]) is an animated character created by Walt Disney as a foil to Mickey Mouse.[15] Making his screen debut in *The Wise Little Hen* on June 9, 1934, Donald is characterized as a pompous, showboating duck wearing a sailor suit, cap and a bow tie. Along with his semi-unintelligible voice (as famously created by his original voice actor, Clarence "Ducky" Nash), Donald’s most dominant trait is his fiery temper, which is predominantly expressed through explosive tantrums and fits of quacking and squawking. Much of Donald’s anger stems from his exceptionally bad luck, though his misfortunes are often the karmic result of his own arrogance and greed.

Donald garnered acclaim as early as his second appearance, *Orphan's Benefit*, and quickly became a mainstay in Disney’s short films thereafter. His foibles endeared him to audiences, who found the duck's attitude and struggles to be both relatable and entertaining.[16] Animators and artists were also fond of Donald Duck's stories, as the character was allowed to exhibit more negative traits that could not be bestowed upon Mickey or the happy-go-lucky Goofy.[17] Beginning with 1937’s *Don Donald*, Donald earned his own series of cartoons, which would introduce such recurring characters as his girlfriend Daisy Duck, and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

With a "no rain or sleet" attitude and a "kick-your-ass" grace, this delivery captain is a refreshing source of professionalism to counterpoint the rest of the crew. For better or worse, the ship runs on her high octane passions, be it because of her longing for family, her love of violence, her commitment to a job well done, or her affection for animals. She has been known to scrap the missions on a whim on the promise of learning more of her past, jeopardize the crew's lives to spite Zapp Brannigan, and save Nibbler. Leela was the first female Blernsball player and the worst player ever because of her poor depth perception (this is due to the fact that she has one eye). However, in space, depth perception is less useful because things are further away and so Leela is the captain of the Planet Express ship. Later on, she finally met her long lost parents, who turned out to be sewer mutants.

The Weinerville New Year's Special: Lost in the Big Apple

***The Weinerville New Year's Special: Lost in the Big Apple*** is a New Year's Eve-themed television special spun off from Nickelodeon's comedy show *Weinerville*. It was originally broadcast on December 31, 1994, as a lead-in to Nick's New Year's Eve '95 marathon, in which Marc Weiner, Boney, Dottie and Zip served as the hosts.

## Synopsis

Marc, Boney, Captain Bob, Socko, Pops, and Louie are all preparing to go spend New Year's Eve in New York City. But over in Weinerville City Hall, Dottie receives a call from Cocktail Frank, saying that all the bands who were supposed to perform at his New Year's Eve party at Nickelodeon's penthouse are all unable to come. Dottie sends Zip to go tell Marc and the others that they'll need to be at Frank's party, but he is unable to stop the group's van from leaving.

After arriving in New York City, the Weinerville gang all split up and have their own adventures in the city:

* Boney loses his wallet on the streets and tries to get some money by getting a job as a charity worker. However, his co-worker tells him that the money is meant to go to less fortunate people.
* Socko helps a girl named Jenny win a hockey game against some bullies. Later, he and Marc goof around in the toy department at FAO Schwarz.
* Captain Bob gives a performance at Pier 17.
* Pops and Louie argue over where to park the van.

Meanwhile, Zip uses the A.R.M.S. 6000 to help Dottie transmit a live broadcast on a selected television set so she can try to contact Marc and the gang. After their first attempt results in Dottie appearing on a television set in a store display window, they then transmit Dottie onto a television set in a furniture piece being stolen by two burglars. Dottie says she'll have the burglars arrested if they do not help her find Marc and the others, so they reluctantly agree to help. Eventually, the burglars get so tired of assisting Dottie that they eventually just bring the TV back to the apartment they stole it from.

That evening, Zip and Dottie make one more try, this time getting Dottie to appear on the Jumbotron in Times Square. She calls out to Marc, Boney, and the others, who fortunately hear her, and tells them they have to get to Frank's party at the penthouse. Afterward, Zip informs Dottie that they have to get to the party too, and he uses the A.R.M.S. 6000 to transport them there… resulting in them landing in the buffet. Frank introduces his band's special guest member for the festivities - Paul Shaffer from The Late Show. Marc and the rest of the gang then arrive and lead Frank and his band in the special's closing number. During the party, a policeman returns Boney's missing wallet to him, and Boney takes the snack table and brings it to the charity worker from earlier, saying it's for the less fortunate people that she mentioned.

Santa Claus

**Santa Claus** is a traditional, secular figure of Christmas good cheer who is the best known (at least in modern times) mascot of Christmas, developed in the United States as an amalgam of the story of St. Nicholas and various other seasonal folk heroes, with many aspects provided by the classic poem *A Visit From St. Nicholas*. The Santa Claus myth is based largely on the Dutch holiday of "Sinterklaas" (a hastily pronounced "St. Nicholas", who comes down the chimney on the 5th/6th of December) and the imagery of the Saint in question carried over to his North Pole incarnation. (Note that in several countries in Europe, Sinterklaas and Santa Claus are considered two entirely different characters, each with their own elaborate holiday.)

The modern figure of Santa Claus who we know is a fat bellied happy old man having a long white beard who wears a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots and carries a bag full of gifts for children.

He lives at the North Pole in a large workshop staffed by elves which produces toys year round, and every Christmas Eve he sets out in a flying sleigh pulled by nine reindeer and delivers toys and other gifts to the children and children-at-heart of the world out of the improbably large sack he carries with him, entering their houses by the chimney, filling their stockings, putting larger gifts under the tree, partaking of whatever food and drink the family left out for him (traditionally cookies and milk), then leaving how he came in.

Santa Claus appears in many Christmas specials and movies. His portrayal in them varies in many ways

I'll make your dreams all come true

Have a little faith in me,

and as they say:

"Faith can move mountains for you"

I'll lend a helping hand

when things go wrong,

and by your side I'll stand

as I help along

Have a little faith in me

That's all I ask:

"I'll keep the faith, faithfully"
