Dr. Batorious (announcing): One's a cute 'Peanuts' character, one's just plain cute. Presenting the awards for "Best Joke/Use Of Humor" are Schroeder and Binky.

::The audience applauds as Gadget leaves and returns with Bink. She guides the toddler squirrel up the podium, then walks off, waving goodbye to everyone::

Schroeder: Okay, 'jokes'. Jokes are like these humorous statements—they're there to keep things from getting oh-so-serious.

::Binky sucks on her pacifier, saying nothing::

Schroeder: Yeah, like you slip on a banana peel, or you say something about chickens crossing the road...

::Binky again sucks on her pacifier, saying nothing::

Schroeder: Ah, I see...a squirrel of few words...y'know, I admire that...

::Schroeder starts to get fidgety::

Binky: Cookie?!

Schroeder: *to audience* Oog...I *gotta* see my agent about this!

::The audience laughs::

Schroeder: And here are the nominees.
