In a segment in the special, all of the children go trick-or-treating (except for Linus van Pelt and Sally Brown who sit in a pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin). At each house they call at, most of the children receive large amounts of candy or other treats and excitedly tell their friends about it afterwards. However, every time Charlie Brown says "I got a rock", with increasing disappointment. The line has been used in many TV shows in reference to Charlie Brown, including Family Guy, Robot Chicken and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
