History Recap / TheClevelandShowS3E2TheHurricane

-->'''Junior''': No, I'm not. Atheism is a religion too, and those people are the worst. You remember Brian Griffin back in Quahog?\\
'''Cleveland''': ''[disdan]'' The dog?\\
'''Junior''': Yeah. Remember what an insufferable d-bag he was about it?

* AgentScully: Cleveland believes Hurricane Flozelle is just a lie the news is using to scare people but he's very soon proven wrong.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Junior shatters Rallo's world when he tells him about God.
-->'''Rallo''': I believe that the man who created the entire universe knows my name and cares what happens to me. Do you know what that is?
-->'''Junior''': Nacissism?

-->'''Donna''': I know it might not make sense but that's what faith is. Standing in the face of adversity and believing everything's gunna be okay.
-->'''Junior''': Well, excuse me for not believing in things you can't touch, see, or measure.
-->'''Donna''': Junior, [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo didn't believe in the force]] [[HollywoodAtheist but he didn't think Luke Skywalker was in idiot for believing in it.]]
-->'''Junior''': But the force-
-->'''Donna''': Is what? [[FauxSymbolism An unseen presence from which one draws strength and inspiration]]? How is that any different from what I'm talking about?
-->''[beat]''
-->'''Junior''': ... You just blew my mind, Miss Donna.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: To help kick off the [[CrossThrough cross through]], a few inter-series fourth wall jokes are made to get everyone into the mood.
-->'''Larvel''': So, this is ''wild'', man. What I heard was due to global warming, the storm's gunna be here for a while, then in Quahog about, in like, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall a half-hour]]. Then supposedly after that, it'll go to [[BuffySpeak American Dad town]].

-->'''Rallo''': And I'm coming pretty close to cracking Mrs. Lowenstein. Man, can you imagine if I turned a Jew?

-->'''Cleveland''': Christianity makes sense. [[MysticalPregnancy A virgin had God's baby]], who then grew up to be a magical sorcerer, who could [[WalkOnWater walk on water]], turn that water into wine, and then walk on the wine until one day, the ... ''[ahem]'' ''[uses finger quotes]'' "[[PoliticallyCorrectHistory Romans]]", crucified him but he allowed it so you and I could be forgiven for Eve eating that apple she got from the talking snake. Three days later, Jesus [[BackFromTheDead rose from the dead]] to tell everyone he was coming back someday to fight The Devil. Then he flew up to his mansion in Heaven, where [[HeteronormativeCrusader he sits in judgment of the gays]]. How can you not believe that!?
* MisplacedRetribution: Cleveland orders God to bring his wrath upon Junior. A bolt of lightning strikes down a tree, which crushes ... Cleveland.

-->'''Donna''': God answered our prayers and got Cleveland out from under the tree!
-->'''Junior''': But-
-->'''Cleveland''': Don't you see son? God does exist. He was here tonight in this room! You just witnessed a miracle!
-->'''Junior''': Well, not really. It was science. Basic engineering. I did it.
-->'''Cleveland''': But God showed you how to build that contraption.
-->'''Junior''': No, I learned that in school.
-->'''Cleveland''': God built the school.
-->'''Junior''': Immigrants built the school.
-->'''Cleveland''': Christian immigrants.
-->'''Junior''': ''[claps hands]'' I'm out.

-->'''Junior''': No, I'm not. Atheism is a religion too, and those people are the worst. You Remember Brian Griffin back in Quahog?
-->'''Cleveland''': ''[disdan]'' The dog?
-->'''Junior''': Yeah. Remember what an insufferable d-bag he was about it?

* CutawayGag: A cutaway gag features an anthropomorphic carton of orange juice [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone holding a gun and breaking down, crying at the corpse]] [[StealthPun of a carton of milk]] he just murdered with a gun and then killing himself.

Cleveland, refusing to let the hurricane ruin their vacation, decides to have the cruise right there at home instead of evacuating the neighborhood like the mayor encouraged people to.

-->'''Junior''': I am not an Atheist. Remember Brian Griffin back in Quahog?

-->'''Junior''': Yeah. He was an Atheist and remember what an insufferable d-bag he was about it? I don't wanna associate with that. [[InsistentTerminology I'm just someone who doesn't believe in God]].

-->'''Cleveland''': Christianity makes sense. [[MysticalPregnancy A virgin had God's baby]], who then grew up to be a magical sorcerer, who could [[WalkOnWater walk on water]], turn that water into wine, and then walk on the wine until one day, the ...
