Does anybody know why the adults on Charlie Brown don't use words but the kids understand them? Are the writers just lazy or what? There just like "mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa"! I mean it's funny but whats the purpose behind it??

Because to most children, that is was parents sound like.
personally, I thought it was brilliant. You know a parent is talking, but it doesn;t matter what theya re really saying; you'll ignore it anyway

It shows that Adults assume that kids understand what they are saying when in all actuality they do not. It is a reverse of the fact that when kids talk adults really do not understand what the kids are saying. e.g. Pebbles and Bam Bam on the Flintstones spoke baby talk "Ga GA goo goo" and Fred and Wilma never knew what they were saying but the kids knew. It is a subtle irony and gives more depth to the cartoon.

It's supposed to imitate how kids don't really listen and say,"Yes ma'am." or "No, sir." or "Yes, I'm sorry, I understand now." in response to the blah blah blah, mwa mwa mwa.

From my perspective, I believe the writers were trying to keep the focus on the kids, and not get derailed with adult input.

I saw a show last year that said that charles schultz wrote the christmas special in one night. he was crunched for time. I think that it was quicker AND made sense because kids don't always listen to what their parents are saying.

There are no adults pictured in the cartoon, so they don't have intelligible voices. It is all about the kids.

I think they do that just becuase it's not relavant what the adults are saying.
