Transcript:

Schroeder sits at the piano playing.

He jumps as Charlie Brown approaches him and yells, “AH, HA!”

He walks off embarrassed as Charlie Brown laughs.

Charlie Brown walks up Patty and points to his right. He says, “I just caught a confirmed Beethoven man playing and enjoying Tschaikowsky!”

    Could someone explain the humor?

    Isn’t this like someone seeing a friend eating lobster and being like, oh I thought you liked wagyu beef?

    Or is this the origin of the shitty smug meme?

      It’s more that Schroeder has frequently made a thing of his passion for Beethoven and disparagement of anything romantic or sweet, while Tchaikovsky’s considered treacly because of the Nutcracker Suite.

        Thanks! But that’s rich coming from a guy with a passion for kicking footballs and we see how well that goes.
