Arguably the most famous dog ever drawn, Snoopy has conquered everything from cartoons to toys to insurance. The yin to a certain cranky cartoon cat’s yang, this peculiar pup has brought laughs, whether fighting the Red Baron or dancing the night away as Flash Beagle, since the 1950s.

Flash Beagle
It’s Flash Beagle, Charlie Brown was a fun parody of the breakdancing scene of the early 1980s while also weirdly being a certified banger of a song that sounds like an intro theme to a disco Batman cartoon.
Scoffing at Obedience Training
The funniest joke that Snoopy can laugh at is the idea of a book teaching him how to obey like a good dog. It’s so funny to him that he has to Xerox chapters to keep for himself when he needs a good chuckle.
Fighting the Red Baron
An ongoing gag for Snoopy is pretending to be a World War I fighter pilot on the top of his dog house, trying to shoot down the Red Baron. In this case, blanket-loving Linus is being a real wet blanket to Snoopy’s current mission.

‘You’re Overly Civilized!’
Charlie Brown has the weirdest complaint about a dog who can cook and eat five pizzas within less than two minutes.
No Dogs Allowed!
On the flip side, during Snoopy Come Home, Snoopy kept getting kicked out of places due to the mere crime of being a dog. Life’s not fair, which, in fairness, is the main melancholic point of Peanuts in the first place. But at least it works out for him in the end.
