19!!Cleveland Orenthal Brown, Sr.
20->'''Voiced by:''' Mike Henry
21[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_cleveland_show_-_cleveland_brown_5811.png]]
22The title character, characterized by his ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''-brought-famous catchphrases and unique mustache.
23----
24* AccidentalPervert: He never thinks before he says things, causing this to happen a lot.
25* AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices: Good friends with Dr. Fist.
26* {{Acrofatic}}: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. One episode, he'll be unbound by his weight, and in other's his obesity prevents him from doing anything.
27* ActionDad: "Harder, Better, Faster, Browner", proves him to be a skilled basketball player.
28* AdaptationalJerkass: While he hasn't become quite as callous as Seth's [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy other]] [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad father]] protagonists, he is noticeably more abrasive, obnoxiously stupid, and self-serving than he was in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
29* AdaptationPersonalityChange: More like a compete rewrite of the character as Cleveland is considerably far more abrasive, self-centered, irresponsible, and idiotic than when he was on ''Family Guy''. Special notice goes to the episode "Sex and the Biddy" where Cleveland, despite never acting in such a way before; was depicted as being a gluttonous slob who ate chicken bone sandwiches, always drank a milkshake before bed, guzzled entire bowls of condiments, and couldn't walk on a treadmill for more than a minute without passing out. This was mildly lampshaded in the first episode, but since his return to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' he's mostly settled into the same role he had before the spin-off.
30* AffectionateNickname: Though it's actually caused by his [[VerbalTic speech impediment]], he calls Terry "Turry".
31* AfricanTerrorists: Became a Somali pirate in "Das Shrimp Boot".
32* TheAlcoholic: Known for getting wasted at the stool and coming home drunk. Occasionally gets drunk during work hours, too. His drinking problems landed him in some trouble, when he was a Mall Santa, and started cursing at Rallo, telling him the truth about Robert.
33* AmbiguouslyGay: Half of the show's jokes revolve around whether Cleveland is or isn't this.
34* AmusingInjuries: Gets a concussion after getting drunk, and falling off the toilet, whole trying to grab a burrito he dropped on the floor in front of him.
35* AncestralWeapon: In "Of Lice and Men", his father passed down his [[DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff beating belt]] to him. Although he refused to use it, saying [[ValuesDissonance they'd lock him up]].
36* AntagonistInMourning: [[spoiler:Despite clearly hating his ex-wife, Loretta, and feeling glad to be rid of her maritally, he was not happy to be rid of her, completely, as he burst into tears out of nowhere, at her funeral, and spent days, with a broken heart.]]
37* AntiHero: Cleveland often lies to his wife and kids, slacks off at his job, gets drunk, betrays his own friends, bullies younger and smaller people, makes sexist comments, and beats people up if he thinks they're being racist.
38* AntiRoleModel: Does virtually every wrong thing a parent could do. Rallo put it best in "Jesus Walks".
39-->'''Rallo:''' I'd just like to go on record and say, you have made every bad decision imaginable in this situation.
40* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Goes on tangents about unrelated bullcrap in multiple instances. People, usually Donna, snap him out of it, and he acknowledges it with a "Yup." whenever they do.
41* BadLiar: Told Donna the truth about stuff he did in "'Tis the Cleveland to be Sorry" and "Brownsized", but had to "start the scene over" and change what he said, in order to keep himself out of trouble.
42* BattleCouple: The Waderman to Donna's Hot Cocoa Bang Bang.
43* BerserkButton: Saying [[NWordPrivileges the word]] or dressing up in {{blackface}}.
44--> '''Cleveland:''' We may dress as you, but you may not dress as us.
45* BetaCouple: He and Donna, in comparison to Donna and Robert, Maurice, Willy Nilly, Dennis Rodman, and just about any other ex-boyfriend and lover of her's. Cleveland is simply just the beta male.
46* BewareTheSillyOnes: Tends to be the most badass, when fighting ridiculous villains, like the army of old ladies from "Field of Streams" or Jaden Smith's sister from "The Way the Cookie Crumbles".
47* BigEater: Ate a ton of sandwiches in "'Tis the Cleveland to Be Sorry".
48* BigFun: A fat guy, who makes tons of jokes, and leads the guys on various adventures.
49* BlackAndNerdy: He knows a lot about the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' franchise, as seen in "Fist and the Furious".
50* BlackComedyRape: Made a humorous quip about rape in "The Brown Knight", when he dressed up as a defenseless woman with a purse, hoping to lure a robber into trying to steal from him, he could catch him in the act.
51-->'''Cleveland''': I hope this disguise makes me look good enough to rob, but not good enough to rape.
52* BlackVikings: The episode "Wide World of Cleveland Show", featured a parody, where Cleveland Brown played the role of Adolf Hitler.
53* BumblingDad: Cleveland's is portrayed the same way Peter was during the early seasons of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', with well-meaning and good intentions beneath his bumbling exterior. He falls into Jerkass territory in some episodes but generally comes off better than Seth's other father characters.
54* ButtMonkey: Though not much, Cleveland gets beaten up more than the rest of his family. Being subject to getting his house destroyed on a daily basis and cast as R2-D2 don't do him any favors either.
55* CallingTheOldManOut: Done to his father on a few occasions, berating him for his abusive and neglectful parenting. More often than not, this gets through to Freight Train, who usually goes through [[AesopAmnesia aesop amnesia]] and right back to his good ol' self and [[StatusQuoIsGod it's like it never happened]].
56* TheCanKickedHim: An entire episode was dedicated to him being the victim of an amusing toilet related injury.
57* CharacterCatchphrase: He's got a ton of these. Some originating from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and some, specifically from the show.
58** "Party over here!"
59** "Oh, that's nasty."
60** "[[RapidFireNo No no no no NO NO!!!]]"
61** "And, boom goes the dynamite."
62** "Mmm, ... my word."
63** "Be-Cleve in Yourself."
64** "Turrible"
65** "Hooray!"
66** "Rully?"
67** [[SignatureLaugh His laugh from the theme song]]
68** "Fourteen years old!"
69** "No! No ''[x]''!"
70** "Yup!"
71* CharacterDevelopment: Cleveland gets more depth in this series than he ever did on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. On ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', he was just the sane, slow-paced yet boring black best friend of Peter Griffin, who owned a rarely-seen deli and was married to a SassyBlackWoman who cheated on him with Quagmire and left him. He still is this way on the occasions that Peter, Quagmire, and Joe appear on the show, but, outside of that, Cleveland is shown to be like Peter Griffin back in the early days of ''Family Guy'': a drunken jerk, who eventually does right and sees the error of his ways.
72** Over the course of both his time on ''The Cleveland Show'', his first few episodes back on ''Family Guy'' there seems to be a recurring point of Cleveland seeking to overcome a lack of fulfillment, mostly represented by his original life in Quahog. Loretta's breakup and leaving the deli behind seeming to have anchored his shift from slow-paced and boring to more active and goofy, though this isn't completely consistent.
73* CharacterizationMarchesOn: When comparing Cleveland from ''The Cleveland Show'' to Cleveland from ''Family Guy'', it's plain to see they're fairly different people. Before and even somewhat after the spin-off.
74** Cleveland's hyperactive, goofy self in the series, makes it weird to see him get annoyed with Junior's loudness and restlessness in the early seasons of Family Guy.
75* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Has himself a bad case of this.
76-->'''Donna:''' Are you gunna do something about this?
77-->'''Cleveland:''' 'Course I am, it's my damn show.
78* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Cleveland has trailed off in the middle of his sentences to talk about some unimportant nonsense. He's done this a lot, especially in the middle of serious situations.
79-->'''Plunkett:''' Cleveland, you gotta stop that bulldozer!
80-->'''Cleveland:''' [[OverlyLongGag Bulldozer. If you had asked me when I was 5 years old, I'd have told you, I'd be riding a bulldozer every day ... You never see a red bulldozer, ... or a yellow firetruck.]]
81-->'''Plunkett:''' [[InsultedAwake Cleveland!]]
82-->'''Cleveland:''' [[CharacterCatchphrase Yup!]]
83* CrossDresser: Has dressed up like a woman many times on the show. You can find Cleveland, dressed up in drag in the episodes "The Curious Case of Junior Working at the Stool", "The Brown Knight", "Cleveland Live!", "Another Bad Thanksgiving", "Yemen Party", "The Way the Cookie Crumbles", "Who Done Did It?", and "Squirt's Honor". A few episodes, such as "The Hangover Part Tubbs" and "Crazy Train" have lampshaded this.
84-->'''Donna:''' You get yourself roped into [[ZanyScheme ridiculous hi-jinks]] [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall every week]]. You're always opening spur-of-the-moment businesses, buying random animals as pets, putting on girly dresses ...
85-->'''Cleveland:''' Or burkas.
86* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: In "Gone With the Wind", he played the "Fart Card", every time he pissed someone off with his farts.
87* DisproportionateRetribution: When Kenny West didn't credit him for his song "Be-Cleve In Yourself", Cleveland vowed revenge in "Menace to Secret Society", and implied he'd be perfectly okay with killing him.
88-->'''Will.I.am''': We need you to kill Kenny West...
89-->'''Cleveland''': I'll do it!
90-->'''Will.I.am''': ...'s career.
91-->'''Cleveland''': Oh.
92* {{Expy}}: Not an out and out copy, but most of the changes in Cleveland's personality are largely to make him more in line with Seth's other BumblingDad protagonists, particularly Peter Griffin.
93* {{Gasshole}}: Became this in "Gone with the Wind," where Cleveland was forced to go on a strict high fiber diet which caused him to experience severe flatulence.
94* GloryDays: His high school years.
95* GratuitousSpanish: On occasion. It's even a minor catchphrase of his, to shot "No! No, ''[x]''" in a Spanish accent, when in denial. (i.e. if someone laughs at him, he responds "No! No funny!"
96* HappilyMarried: Cleveland loved Donna ever since High School and they do show to be happy for the most part. Out of all Creator/SethMacFarlane's main animated couples, they seem to have the healthiest relationship.
97* HeManWomanHater: Proves ridiculously sexist views on women.
98-->'''Cleveland:''' Donna's a woman. She couldn't have thought up an evil plan as smart as that. Then again, what kind of man would I be if I didn't automatically assume the worst of a woman?
99* HeteronormativeCrusader: At least up until "Terry Unmarried", where [[spoiler:his life-long friend, Terry Kimple turned out to be bisexual and engaged to another man.]] Cleveland may have learned his lesson after, the events of this episode, but a few offensive one-off remarks of his [[AesopAmnesia may prove otherwise]].
100-->'''Cleveland:''' Oh, Junior, you're in love? Who is she? This is a "she" right, cuz if it's a "he", I'm sending you to [[CureYourGays one of those camps]].
101* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood:
102** His father always made him fight for things he wanted to keep. Not to mention the constant beatings he gave Cleveland.
103--->'''Cleveland:''' Dad can I keep this dog?\
104'''Freight Train:''' You know the rules, If you can beat him in a fight.\
105(Cue Cleveland getting a CurbStompBattle from the dog.)
106** He loves Christmas, despite being subjected to an abusive version of Boxing Day, where he had to fight Freight Train for his presents.
107--->'''Cleveland:''' I got one for every round I lasted. [[SuddenlyShouting WHAT A HORRIBLE MEMORY!]] [[LampshadeHanging WHY DO I EVEN CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AT ALL?!]]
108* InnocentBigot: He's made plenty of racist comments about not just whites, but other minorities too, () but he thinks that because he's a minority, then his racism is perfectly justified. Second to white people, Cleveland is mostly racist against Mexicans. As seen in "There Goes El Neighborhood" and pretty much any other episode centered around Choni and/or Cecelia, he holds some pretty stereotypical viewpoints on Mexicans, Latinos, and Hispanics in general.
109-->'''Cleveland:''' Choni, a black man can't be racist. Listen to you, talking nonsense like some oily Polynesian.
110* LaserGuidedKarma: In ''Cleveland Jr. Cherry Bomb'', Cleveland, in a very misogynistic ways that undercuts his wife's authority and Roberta's self-independence, tries to force onto the latter chastity with a church sermon. The result; his ''son'' pledges his virginity to him instead of Roberta, turning him into a laughing stock.
111* ItsAllAboutMe: A lot of family dilemmas are caused by antics or schemes motivated by Cleveland's selfishness, [[LazyBum idle lack of responsibility]] or [[ControlFreak insistence on making the rest of the family following his whims]]. He will often pull through ultimately, though there are cases he is just too self absorbed to understand the Aesop properly.
112* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's pretty much like the early incarnation of Peter Griffin, in terms of doing stupid things, but ultimately seeing the error of his ways and trying to do right by his family.
113* LazyHusband: Does absolutely nothing around the house, but self-deprecates both himself, and the hard-working Donna for being so useless. Waterman Cable falling OutOfFocus made this trope seem a lot worse.
114* ManChild: Whenever he tries sucking up to his abusive father and to anyone who will show him ''any'' paternal love. In "How the Cookie Crumbles", he did a fart-filled Mad Libs when he was 17.
115* MeaningfulName: He is named after a football team, and he's a big fan of football. In "The Essence of Cleveland", he revealed that he was given this name, because was was conceived at a football game, during the 7th inning stretch of the Cleveland Indians.
116* MistakenForPedophile: Cleveland is often mistaken as this because of his close relationship with his son Junior. Not helped that his kid loves to kiss him in public and says suggestive things about him.
117* MistakenForRacist: Choni accuses him of being racist towards Mexicans.
118* PapaWolf: To Cleveland Jr. Early episodes depict his progress into becoming one for his adoptive family as well.
119* PetBabyWildAnimal: In "A Rodent Like This", Cleveland keeps a deranged rat as a pet and names it Rat Lauer.
120* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Inverted in "The Men in Me", where Cleveland is voted the "Whitest Black Man in America".
121* ProtagonistTitle: "The '''Cleveland''' Show".
122* RepressedMemories: Has a lot of these, as seen in "The Men in Me". Cleveland removes his memories and puts them in jars, with labels such as "Junior Yelling at Crossdressing Doll", "Donna Sneezes Naked", "Junior Wrecks His Pants", and "Loretta".
123* SameCharacterButDifferent: It's still Cleveland but his personality is vastly different in this show. In ''Family Guy'', Cleveland was the most grounded member of Peter's friend group. He was down-to-earth and probably one of the nicest guys in that show. In ''this'' show however, he's more along the lines of Seth MacFarlane's other father protagonists....just maybe not quite as bad.
124* SkipToTheEnd: By the time Cleveland and Donna had their third wedding, it pretty much became useless enough, that they needed to do this.
125* StayInTheKitchen: Cleveland is a ''lot'' more chauvinistic in this series. He never quite gets [[BullyingTheDragon Donna will only take it for so long either.]]
126* UglyGuyHotWife: With Donna, though [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111205034813/cleveland/images/9/98/Baredonna.png under all the makeup, stuffed bra, and wig]], [[InvertedTrope she's uglier than him]]
127* UnconfessedUnemployment: A subversion in "Brownsized", where he got a paid month off at work, but told Donna he got fired, otherwise, she'd make him do work around the house.
128* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: At his worst, although he isn't to the extent as [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] and [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Stan Smith]].
129* TheWhitestBlackGuy: The episode "The Men in Me", centered around Cleveland Brown, being publicly labelled as "The Whitest Black Guy in America", after jamming out to Justin Bieber's "Baby". He spent the whole first act, trying to deny this, by becoming more "black", listening to rap music, dressing in "black" clothes, and going on Soul Train. It finally came about that, [[spoiler:the reason he was so "white", was because he was babysat by a white woman a lot as a child.]]
130* WouldntHitAGirl: His dilemma with dealing with [[spoiler:Holt's abusive girlfriend, Jane.]]
131[[/folder]]
132
133[[folder:Donna Tubbs-Brown]]
134!!Donna Lou Retton Tubbs-Brown
135->'''Voiced by:''' Sanaa Lathan
136[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_5406.png]]
137Cleveland's high-school sweetheart and second wife and the secretary of Stoolbend High School. She's the mother of Roberta and Rallo Tubbs.
138----
139* ACupAngst: In case you couldn't tell, she stuffs her bra.
140* AbusiveParent: One-off gags and lines, imply and reveal that she'd hit her children if she needed to. She advocates spanking as well, notably after returning to "Family Guy".
141-->'''Donna:''' ''[to Rallo, acting up in the grocery store]'' Stop that right now! These people don't know me. I'll hit you.
142* ActionMom: Smacks the black off of Holt's abusive girlfriend.
143* AfroAsskicker: As Hot Cocoa Bang Bang.
144* AlcoholicParent: Downs large amounts of red wine, to help get her through the worst moments of parenting.
145* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Invoked as the reason she dated and later married Robert.
146* AmicableExes: Despite her divorce with Robert, she still would like to be asked to have sex with him.
147* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: While she rags on Cleveland as much as everyone else and still has a sexual attraction to Robert (her ex-husband), it's clear that Donna considers Cleveland to be the ''real'' love of her life, even if she's not often willing to openly admit it.
148* BerserkButton: Mentioning her mom or anything about Mother's Day will quickly make her start crying, because she never knew her mom. [[spoiler:This stopped when she finally met her in "Mama Drama".]]
149* BlackBossLady: To the students of Stoolbend High School.
150* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Brunette to Kendra's Blonde and Arianna's Redhead.
151* {{Blaxploitation}}: Her "Hot Cocoa Bang Bang" films.
152* BlaxploitationParody: Again, her "Hot Cocoa Bang Bang" films.
153* CharacterCatchphrase: "Sweet ''[name of food]'' and ''[name of rhyming food]!''" (ex. "Sweet peas and jujubes!", "Sweet ham and braised lamb!")
154* ChildHater: She's over-confident about adults being superior to kids.
155-->'''Donna:''' ''[singing]'' Every boy and girl you know\
156is worthless from their head to toe.\
157It's like a bedbug mated with an invalid.\
158They're frail and weak and short in height.\
159Their hands too small, their brains not right.\
160It's not your fault you suck, you're just a kid.\
161You're as worthless as a recent song by Sting.\
162Yes, Kids Suck at Everything!
163* ClingyJealousGirl: Every time Cleveland makes a female friend, she forbids him from seeing her anymore.
164* ControlFreak: Wants everything around the house to go her way, though she and Cleveland trade this role at times.
165* CorporalPunishment: She spanks Chris for breaking her vase in "He's Bla-ack!" and scathingly suggests to Lois that her kids are out of control because Lois doesn't resort to this.
166* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly towards Cleveland.
167* DisappearedDad: There is no mention of her father at all. In a small throwaway line, even her own mother wonders ''who he was''.
168* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Routinely punches and beats on Cleveland. It's portrayed comically.
169* DreadfulMusician: She plays the recorder, but can only play ''very'' basic tunes, like "Pop Goes the Weasel" and "When the Saints Go Marching In".
170* {{Expy}}: She's often seen as pretty much the black version of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Lois Griffin]] or [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Francine Smith]], save a few nuances such as murderous [[TheSociopath sociopathy]].
171* FlippingTheBird: After Roberta asked her for money, when she was already pinching pennies.
172-->'''Donna:''' Oh, Roberta, honey. Watch these boys and don't let them eat candy?
173-->'''Roberta:''' Got some "watch these boys" money?
174-->'''Donna:''' Sure, thing baby.
175-->''[Donna reaches into her purse and takes her middle-finger-pointing hand out]''
176* FreudianExcuse: Her bad motherhood can come from the fact that she's never known her real mother, during her childhood.
177* FriendlessBackground: Has stated in "[=BFFs=]" she has no friend and is completely at peace with that, believing that as a {{Housewife}}, she just doesn't need or want any. ([[ContinuityDrift Even though she's friends with Arianna, Kendra, and a whole bunch of other lady friends as seen in several other episodes.]])
178-->'''Donna:''' I don't have friends. No housewife does.
179-->'''Cleveland:''' None of them?
180-->'''Donna:''' No way. Name one friend of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Lois Griffin]].
181-->'''Cleveland:''' Can't do it. [[note]]Despite Donna, herself being friends with Lois.[[/note]]
182-->'''Donna:''' Can you think of any friends of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]]?
183-->'''Cleveland:''' Not a-one.
184-->'''Donna:''' What about [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Francine Smith]]?
185-->'''Cleveland:''' [[SelfDeprecating Who?]]
186* GlamorousSingleMother: Played this role in the first episode. Although technically, she wears a wig, tons of make up, and underneath all that, she's a gross looking middle-aged lady, so she's pretty realistic.
187* GreenEyedMonster: She heavily dislikes it whenever an attractive woman shows any kind of interest (even platonic) in Cleveland.
188* HairTriggerTemper: It takes very little to set her off.
189* HappilyMarried: Despite their obvious problems, It is clear Donna considers Cleveland to be the love of her life. Out of all Creator/SethMacFarlane's main animated couples, they seem to have the healthiest relationship.
190* HartmanHips: In typical "cartoon mom" fashion, she has big hips and a big butt.
191* IWasQuiteALooker: ''Was'' being the keyword. She ''has not'' aged well. However, she hides it underneath a lot of beauty enhancements.
192* JerkassHasAPoint: She can get pretty shrill and domineering at times, but it's often in response to the antics of Cleveland and others.
193* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be quite shrill, domineering, and sassy but she appears to be a well-meaning person who is just trying to raise her kids (and her new husband), keep her job together, and be a normal, reasonable person at the same time.
194* KarmaHoudini: She gets away with significantly more things than other characters are. Most notable examples include treating her husband like shit to the point of nearly killing him and not learning a damn thing over it, being angry that he's sad that someone he spent nearly 15 years of his life with died, and going out of her way to emotionally abuse Rallo, complete with song on one occasion.
195* LoonyFan: To Michelle Obama. She admits she's obsessed with her and only dresses as her during Halloween so it's not weird.
196* NoodleIncident: In 'A Vas Deferens Between Men and Women," she casually tells Cleveland (about her fake pregnancy) that she's been pregnant five times... She has 2 children, so...?
197* OldShame: In-universe: ''Hot Cocoa Bang-Bang'', a 1970s blaxploitation film she starred in.
198* SassyBlackWoman: Donna [[JustifiedTrope justifies]] her behavior, explaining that the circumstances of her life made this an inevitability.
199* SexySecretary: She works as a secretary, and many people in-universe comment on how attractive she is, especially in regards to her big ass. Subverted in that she doesn't look nearly as sexy without her makeup and wig.
200* SmallNameBigEgo: She's convinced Cleveland is "lucky" to have her, despite her being a middle-aged divorcee who went prematurely gray and has two kids from a previous marriage.
201* StopBeingStereotypical: In "To Live and Die in VA", Rallo opens a barber shop in their house after Donna banned him from Murray's barber shop and Donna later turns it into a lady's beauty shop. Rallo remarks that Donna ruined his barbershop "just like that "Beauty Shop" movie ruined the "Barbershop" franchise", Donna then tells Rallo that "just because we're black that doesn't mean we have to pretend "Barbershop" was a good movie".
202* TemporarilyAVillain: In "Nightmare on Grace Street" and the sideplot of "Hustle 'N' Bros".
203* UglyAllAlong: Donna initially appears as very attractive woman because she wears a wig and plenty of makeup, and stuffs her bra. In reality, she's a very haggard looking woman.
204* UglyGuyHotWife: With Cleveland. Though [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111205034813/cleveland/images/9/98/Baredonna.png under all the makeup, stuffed bra, and wig]], [[InvertedTrope she's uglier than him]].
205* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Kicked Jane's ass for beating up Cleveland.
206* WomenAreWiser: While not without her own flawed moments, she tends to be much saner than Cleveland for the most part.
207[[/folder]]
208
209[[folder:Cleveland Jr.]]
210!!Cleveland Orenthal Brown, Jr.
211->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson
212[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_cleveland_show_-_junior_8859.png]]
213The obese teenage son of Cleveland Brown. His personality and appearance heavily differ from his early appearances on Family Guy.
214----
215
216* AdaptationalWimp: Was a lot less dorky and more self-confident in ''Family Guy''
217* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's a little complicated. [[spoiler: The fact that he might not be the ''real'' Cleveland, Jr. just raises further questions.]]
218* AmicableExes: More or less with Cecilia. After Junior tries to protect her by running off with her and getting married, Junior moves out of his family's house to live with Cecilia but she realizes he is just a kid and later admits they are both too young to be married. Junior offers to remain married to prevent her deportation and Cecilia continues to work for her aunt while they live apart.
219* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In "Who Done Did It?", Junior had a single taste of a ketchup stain on someone's shoe, and his vast knowledge of food, helped him to calculate exactly what kind of food it was.
220* BewareTheNiceOnes: Very recessive and naive. If you mess with him however, he'll take things up a notch in the most [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment Cool and Unusual]] manner.
221** Case in point: In "Skip Day", he tries to boost Cleveland's self-esteem by giving himself a fake black eye and telling everyone that Cleveland beat him up. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome When Cleveland gets arrested]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone and Junior realizes he might go to prison,]] he steals a cop's gun, breaks Cleveland out of police custody and leads half the force on a wild chase through Stoolbend.
222** Gives an impressive performance in a rap battle against [[Music/KanyeWest Kenny West]], and [[DefeatMeansFriendship earns Kenny's respect in the process.]]
223** He arranges the re-marriage of Cookie and [=LeVar=] in the episode "You're the Best Man, Cleveland Brown!", and at the end...
224--->'''Cookie:''' I don't need this big, fancy wedding. Let's just go down to city hall.\
225'''Cleveland Jr.:''' The hell you will! You are getting married here, today! Now everybody get your ass in the backyard before I turn this into a funeral!\
226''[everyone does so without a word]''
227* BigGuyLittleGuy: The big to Rallo's little.
228* BlackAndNerdy: Junior plays this straight.
229* BreakTheCutie: Goes through this in "Squirt's Honor" after being tricked by Rallo. [[HealTheCutie He gets better, though]].
230* TheBusCameBack: In "Ladies' Night", Junior became student-council president. After this, there was no mention of him being president again, leading one to believe [[StatusQuoIsGod that this was only for this episode]]. However, in "'Til Deaf", Junior ran for re-election as student-council president. This is the first time his status as president was ever mentioned again afterwards, and after ''this'' moment, there was no mention of it, ''again''.
231* CampStraight: Despite his feminine characteristics, it was firmly established in "All You Can Eat", that he was a man who was all about the ladies.
232* CantUseStairs: Nearly passes out, when climbing stairs in general. In "Love Rollercoaster", he had to eat Popeye spinach, just to get to the second floor of his school.
233* CannotTellFictionFromReality: Fails to understand that Larry the Leopard is a stuffed animal. Although some episodes, [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight prove that Larry is actually a sentient being]].
234* CharacterDevelopment: Early episodes depicted him as a sheltered child, a blissful idiot who didn't recognize his own physical and social awkwardness. After [[spoiler:death of his mother]] during the third season, he showcases a more cynical and rational and assertive side, and was a bit less slow.
235* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Even more so than Cleveland. Only the name connects his current counterpart to the pint-sized [[{{Keet}} hyperactive]] MotorMouth of early ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episodes, which spurred a lot of confusion from audience members who remembered him. He became a little more active in later episodes though.
236** It was implied that Cleveland Jr.'s change between what he looked like on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and what he looks like on ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' was from being on medication to calm his hyperactivity, which caused weight gain. This explanation was included in the Pilot script, and references remain, but it's never confirmed outright.
237** Fox heavily promoted an episode where Cleveland Junior [[CallBack picked up golfing again]] as "finally" explaining "what happened" to him since ''Family Guy'', with clips contrasting ''Family Guy'' with ''The Cleveland Show''; it's ultimately a quick gag reprise from his first appearance on ''Family Guy''.
238-->'''Cleveland Jr.:''' I'm Tiger Woods, I'm Tiger Woods! (stops to catch his breath) Looks like I've gained a few pounds since my Quahog days.
239** An episode in the final season jokes on this explaining that Fat Junior is actually a spy who [[KillAndReplace killed the original hyperactive Slim Junior]], as part of a gambit to assassinate Tim, who's the head of a terrorist sleeper-cell. The [[BizarroEpisode truthfulness of this statement is up in the air]], as it's only told to Rallo. The remaining episodes never brought it up again, and Tim was never killed.
240* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Basically developed super strength, when Cleveland trained him in "Skip Day".
241* ChildProdigy: Possibly. He may just as easily be a moron.
242* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Has convinced himself that Larry the Leopard and other imaginary creatures are real.
243* CovertPervert: Knows a lot more than ''his father'' about sex.
244* CrazyJealousGuy: In "There Goes El Neighborhood", Cleveland Jr. helps enroll Cecilia into school. To help her become acclimated, he tries to set her up with a date with Tyler Hudson. But when he sees they become too friendly, he intervenes and threatens Tyler.
245* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: A musical variant. In "Brotherly Love", Junior goes after a beautiful girl named Chanel, but [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Kenny]] [[Music/KanyeWest West]], her jealous, overbearing ex-boyfriend, refuses to let the relationship happen. This culminates at a party where Kenny disses Junior with a freestyle rap, to which Junior responds:
246-->'''Cleveland Jr.:''' ''[meekly picks up microphone and walks to the stage]'' Hello? Can you hear me? ''[looks around nervously before singing to the tune of the alphabet song]'' A, B, C, D, E, F, G...\
247''[Kenny and his friends laugh]''\
248'''Cleveland Jr.:''' ''[same alphabet song tune]'' ... someone should've told you not to [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]]. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis With. Me]].
249* DeathIsNotPermanent: Effortlessly brought himself back to life, after dying of cancer in one episode.
250--> ''[Junior is pronounced dead and Cleveland cries his eyes out at his hospital bed]''\
251'''Cleveland:''' No, Junior! It's too soon! Please, don't go!\
252''[Junior gets up, alive, and in completely good health]''\
253'''Junior:''' Okay.
254* DefeatMeansFriendship: After he stands up to local teen music star [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Kenny]] [[Music/KanyeWest West]] with a rap diss (episode "Brotherly Love"), Junior and Kenny turn their rap battle into a duet rap, and Kenny apologizes for trying to keep Junior and (Kenny's ex-girlfriend) Chanel apart.
255* DidntThinkThisThrough: In "Skip Day," he uses makeup and lies to convince people that Cleveland beat him up in an attempt to help his dad through a depression, which inevitably ends with Cleveland getting arrested for child abuse.
256* DitzyGenius: A RunningGag on the show has people trying to figure out whether he's stupid or smart.
257* {{Expy}}: Of Chris Griffin initially. Later episodes bring back some of his activeness and emphasize his nerdiness more, and focus less on his physical awkwardness.
258* FormerlyFit: Was originally skinny in ''Family Guy''.
259* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: In "Y Tu Junior Tambien", he proved to know a lot of graphic things about sex. More than his own father.
260--> '''Cleveland:''' I need to live more.
261* GenderNormativeParentPlot: Decorated cakes and later pole danced in "Wheel of Family!", Had a Quincenera in "Wide World of Clevland Show", and became a fan of Justin Bieber in "The Men in Me". Cleveland is frequently embarassed by this.
262* HerCodeNameWasMarySue: In Junior's imagination, he's an infinitely awesome, all-powerful, well-beloved spaceman, with unlimited powers and the ability to do whatever he wants.
263* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Ernie, and occasionally Rallo.
264* HollywoodAtheist: Though he doesn't refer to himself as an "atheist", because to him atheism is also a religious belief, and thinks atheists like Brian Griffin give real atheists a bad name. This is forgotten in season three where he explicitly refers to himself as an atheist.
265* {{Hypocrite}}: Does not believe in God, but he's perfectly fine in believing ''[[Franchise/StarWars the force]]'' and ''ComicBook/IronMan'' exist.
266* HypotheticalFightDebate: In "March Dadness", when he heard about basketball teams going against each other, he imagined who would win in a fight between the two mascots, for instance, a Texas Bull and a Clemson Tiger. His predictions of which mascot would win always correlated with the winning team. Crosses right into InsaneTrollLogic at times.
267* IncrediblyLameFun: Has fun doing things that are so childish, even Rallo doesn't care for it. In "Of Lice and Men", Rallo had to put up with Junior for the episode, and naturally, had a hell of a time. [[spoiler:But once Junior taught him about the power of imagination, playing pretend became an all new amazing experience.]]
268* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Does a lot of traditionally girly things for fun, that his dad isn't too happy about.
269** In "Cleveland Junior Cherry Bomb", he pledged his virginity to his father, and joined a bunch of parties with the other virgin girls, and took part in all of their girly activities.
270** In "Our Gang", he baked cookies. Granted, these were cocaine cookies, but he thought it was flour.
271** In "It's the Great Pancake, Junior Brown", he played with an Easy Bake oven.
272** In "A Short Story and a Tall Tale", he had a locket with him and his dad's faces, and said that when it was closed, it would seem like he and his dad were kissing each other on the cheeks.
273** In "The Men in Me", he was a screaming, adoring fanboy of Justin Bieber.
274** In "Dancing With the Stools", he became a dancer, and a seamstress.
275--->'''Donna''': Wow, Junior. You're a good seamster ... Seamster ... Hmm, what's the masculine term for "seamstress"?\
276'''Cleveland''': Homosexual.
277** In "Wide World of Cleveland Show", he wore a dress and celebrated his fifteenth birthday in the form of a Quinceanera.
278** In "Wheel of Family!", he baked cakes at [[IntentionallyAwkwardTitle Cake Cake Cakes]]. Later on, he became a pole dancer.
279* JerkassBall: He's the most pleasant of the Cleveland family, though, like any good Seth [=McFarlane=] character, he shows a nasty or hypocritical side on frequent occasions, presumably intended as RuleOfFunny instances.
280* KiddieKid: Happily prefers the company of stuffed animals and other toys despite being 14. Cleveland constantly has to remind him that he's 14 years old.
281* KindheartedSimpleton: Though he has noticeable bouts of unusual logic and talent, he is probably the most consistently sweet natured of the Brown family, as well as probably the dopiest.
282* LikeFatherLikeSon: Though he and Cleveland are mostly very different, they share some similarities. They're both fat, and they both tell lots of jokes, they both have iconic little chuckles, and they both have the tendency to sing songs. They also can both be somewhat childish or even sheltered.
283* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Feminine Boy to Roberta.
284* MistakenForGay: In one occasion, Junior changes his style and starts going by "C.J." in an attempt to be cooler. He winds up befriending a girl from another school and asking her out to her prom...only for it to come out that she's a lesbian, and thinks he's one too.
285* MoralityPet: To his father Cleveland.
286* NerdGlasses: Is nerdy and wears a pair of glasses.
287* NiceGuy: The only nice person in the family.
288* ObsessedWithPerfectAttendance: He earns a perfect attendance award, much to the chagrin of his father.
289* OddFriendship: Given his unpopularity, he's been gaining friendships with the strangest of people, including Ernie, Raymond, Gus, Murray, Kendra, Mayor Larry Box, Cecelia, Choni, and Larry the Leopard.
290* OnlyFriend: Ernie at the beginning of the series, but has developed a series of [[OddFriendship odd friendships]], as the series went on.
291* PhraseCatcher: Whenever he does something childish, he's told, "Fourteen. You're fourteen years old." He gets this mostly from Cleveland, but Rallo and Donna have said it too at one point.
292* PolkaDork: In one episode, he and a group of other socially unpopular kids formed a polka band.
293* RandomSmokingScene: In "Back to Cool", Robert taught Junior how to light a cigarette with the flames from the stove.
294* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive to Rallo.
295* ShipTease: He and Cecelia are a match made in heaven, and they're married too, but the only reason they married, was so that Cecelia and her family could get a green card. Currently, they exist as a husband and wife who are just friends, though Junior still has some romantic and sexual tension pent up for Cecelia.
296* SimpletonVoice: Kevin Michael Richardson based the voice on a mentally-retarded character he played for an episode on the first season of ''E.R.''
297* SmarterThanYouLook: The smartest family member in the show.
298* StudentCouncilPresident: Junior was elected student council president of Stoolbend High School in the episode "Ladies' Night", and was reelected in "'Til Deaf".
299* TookALevelInCynic: Started off as a delightful, blissful idiot, with the mind of a child. But ever since the [[spoiler:death of his mother, he started to lose his faith in God. In "Hurricane", onwards, he became more nihilistic, faithless, and thought more rationally about the world. In "Squirt's Honor", Rallo completely shattered his soul, and opened his eyes to all the misery and horrors of the universe.]]
300* TheUnfavorite: Despite being his only son by blood, Cleveland doesn't like him much because Jr. is a constant source of embarrassment.
301* UglyGuyHotWife: With Cecilia.
302* ViolationOfCommonSense: He's the only member of an atheist group in school. The weird part is he's somehow its ''vice-president.''
303* WideEyedIdealist: Used to be this in earlier seasons, [[spoiler:but then his mom died, and he lost his faith in God, he became more rational, and would occasionally be quick to negativity]].

306[[folder:Roberta Tubbs]]
307!!Roberta Coretta Tubbs
308->'''Voiced by:''' Nia Long (before the episode "Love Rollercoaster"); Creator/ReaganGomezPreston (from "Love Rollercoaster" to the series finale, "Wheel! Of! Family!")
309[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_cleveland_show_-_roberta_2983.png]]
310First born child of Robert and Donna. Now, the bratty teenage step-daughter of Cleveland, who messes around with her boyfriend and gets into trouble.
311----
312* ActionGirl: Pretty much singlehandedly takes on a group of drunken guys in B.M.O.C.
313* AdvertisedExtra: She's billed as a main character, yet her screentime is much smaller than the rest of her family from early on. While her counterparts from the sister shows [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Meg]] and [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Hayley]] were used less often over time, at least they were prominent characters on their respective shows' first few seasons. Roberta was ''never'' prominent to begin with.
314* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Like the rest of the family when transitioning into ''Family Guy''. Now that Cleveland’s show is canned and the writers aren’t handling the cast anymore, ''Family Guy'' is free to retool them however they wish, regardless if if it’s vastly different to how they were portrayed previously. In Roberta’s case, her troublemaking tendencies have devolved into a full-on whore, implied to have let Quagmire have filthy sex with her, and also mentioned to have an addiction towards analgesics.
315* AffectionateNickname: Her boyfriend calls her "Ro", and she calls her "Federline", when his real name is "Gabriel".
316* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Roberta became a bad boy loving girl in "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Roberta?" and so she [[spoiler:dumped her pansy of a boyfriend, Federline, to find someone new. She started dating a bad boy by the name of "Diego", but his lifestyle was way too extreme for her, and she [[AnAesop learned that bad boys are ... well bad.]]]]
317* AxCrazy: Roberta will occasionally go completely insane, mainly when her parents piss her off. She does things like cussing at her parents, throwing furniture, and even running away from home. Episodes such as "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Roberta?", "B.M.O.C.", and "The Brown Knight", are centered around her doing this.
318* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Sports a green bandeau top and jeans combo.
319* BigSisterBully: Not often, but she can be this to Junior, at times.
320* BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama: She's dating Federline and her parents are not happy about it.
321* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Roberta is a loud, disrespectful, selfish, greedy, teenage girl, but not without her good moments.
322* BrilliantButLazy: She's actually a mildly sharp cookie, but willingly acts like a vapid teenage cliche because she believes she's going to be a star one day, although the exact scale varies based on what RuleOfFunny calls for.
323-->'''Roberta''': Rihanna didn't go to college, Kim Kardashian didn't go to college, "Hide Your Kids Hide Your Wife" didn't go to college. Why do I have to go to college?
324* BuxomBeautyStandard: The only reason guys are into her. Hilariously, she doesn't notice this.
325* ContinuityDrift: Roberta's middle name was revealed to be "'''Coretta'''" in "Da Doggone Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance", but in "Your Show of Shows", her middle name was given as "'''Benigni'''".
326* CoolBigSis: She once dressed down Rallo for the way he tore apart Jr.'s faith in the world in ''Squirt's Honor'' and some episodes do focus on her supporting Junior or Rallo.
327* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Cleveland hates Federline.
328--> '''Cleveland:''' The kid's a moron.
329* DemotedToExtra: Even worse than [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Hayley]], Roberta was demoted to this, halfway through the first season, having very little screen time and minimal dialogue, with a focus episode here and there.
330** Even worse, since her family moved back to Quahog, she is currently the only family member that hasn't interacted with the Griffins, and hasn't had a single line of dialogue on [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Family Guy]].
331* DumbassHasAPoint: In "Squirt's Honor", Roberta gave Rallo a ReasonYouSuckSpeech about why he shouldn't have destroyed Junior's sense of childhood wonder.
332* FemaleMisogynist: Expressed some rather sexist views toward women in "'Til Deaf", though in other episodes she is depicted as vaguely feminist, such as "Tis the Cleveland to be Sorry".
333* {{Foil}}: She's pretty much the exact opposite of [[ButtMonkey Meg]] in terms of looks and popularity.
334* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She and Rallo play the foolish sibling to Junior's responsible sibling. This was accentuated best in "Birth of a Salesman".
335* FreudianExcuse: Her hatred for Cleveland and lack of respect for the rules is mostly fueled by how much she misses her real father, Robert. Same thing can be said about Rallo.
336* {{Gaydar}}: Her's must be broken, because she didn't see how Twilight parody characters, Edwin and Caleb were clearly gay and in love with each other.
337* TheHedonist: Her philosophy in life is about indulging in happiness.
338* HeadTurningBeauty: When she sprouted a pair of breasts, [[BuxomBeautyStandard she got the undivided attention of every guy in Stoolbend High]]. However, she thinks it was because of her stylin' hat at the time.
339* HiddenHeartOfGold: She only acts like a bitch to everyone to maintain her popularity, but we see that she does have a kind heart. She just hides it ''really well''. The people she treats with the most kindness are her step-brother, Junior, and her boyfriend.
340* InSeriesNickname: Federline always calls her "Ro".
341* {{Joshikousei}}: In "Wide World of Cleveland Show", it was revealed that she is this archetype in the Japanese version of The Cleveland Show, complete with a [[SailorFuku sailor fuku outfit]] and [[RoseHairedSweetie vibrant pink]] [[AnimeHair anime hair]].
342* KarmaHoudini: Rarely gets into meaningful trouble for what she does.
343* MeaningfulName: Her name is basically the feminine version of her biological father's.
344* MinorMajorCharacter: The least focused on member of the family. She rarely has any talking lines in most episodes, and episodes focusing on her are far and in between. This was lampshaded in "Ain't Nothin' But Mutton Bustin'", when she only appeared at the tail end, having needed a ride home after being forgotten at school:
345--> ''[Roberta enters]''\
346'''Roberta''': I'm home. Anyone have $50 to pay Mrs. Lowenstein?\
347'''Cleveland''': Oh, yeah, three. We have three children.
348* MsFanservice: Portrayed as a sexy teenager, she often wears skimpy clothes. Two good examples are the episodes "Fat And Wet" & "To Live And Die In VA" which have Roberta in a bikini in the former and dressed as Slave Leia in the latter. One of her teachers even flirts with her in early episodes.
349* NoPeriodsPeriod: In "The Brown Knight", Roberta had her period. This is the only time in the series this ever happened, despite the entirety of the series taking place over the course of four years.
350* OffscreenBreakup: It's unknown if there was a breakup between her and Federline, as in the final episode, she was dating Walt, one of Rallo's friends.
351* OlderThanTheyLook: Although Roberta's given age is 15, the fourth-wall breaking episode, "Cleveland Live!", reveals that [[DawsonCasting the actress that plays her is at least 21]].
352* OutOfFocus: Gets the least amount of episodes focusing on her. Consistently left without dialogue and didn't even appear in the episodes "Field of Dreams", and "Our Gang".
353* PrettyFreeloaders: In "Love Rollercoaster", she uses her looks to get by in school.
354* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Roberta gave one of these to Rallo in "Squirt's Honor", after Rallo so rudely [[BreakTheCutie destroyed Junior's idyllic world view]], by scamming him, and exposing him to a harsh reality.
355-->'''Roberta''': At least he's not the chump he used to be. Oh, yeah, he was a chump because while you were being too cool for life, he actually tried to see the best in people and he was happy and he walked through the world carrying the tiny candle of hope, shielding it against the bitter winds of negativity. He kept it alive for so long, through his parents' divorce, and his mom's death and, even his 200-pound weight gain, always with a sweet smile and that little candle of hope, and then you come along, Rallo, and what do you do?
356-->''[Roberta takes out a dandelion and blows the seeds into Rallo's face]''
357* SassyBlackWoman: To a lesser extent than her mom.
358* SchoolIsForLosers: Constantly skips school, to go hang out with Federline.
359* SheCleansUpNicely: She explained this to Junior in "All You Can Eat". Back when she was in 6th grade, she was an average, unpopular girl, with no friends and no romantic life. However, when 7th grade came around, she developed into a taller, prettier, fuller breasted, hottie who got the attention of all the guys and quickly rose to the popularity she had today. Roberta knew she made the right choice, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint buying that]] stylin' new hat.
360* SmallNameBigEgo: She's convinced she's a future star just waiting to be discovered, despite lacking any real talent.
361* SmarterThanYouLook: Scored in the 98th percentile on her PSAT; she just doesn't like making a big deal out of her smarts.
362* SmittenTeenageGirl: She's shown to be madly in love with Federline, and constantly spends time with him.
363* SnarkBall: Roberta is rude to her parents.
364* TornadoMove: In "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Roberta?", she broke out of her bedroom, spinning around in a tornado cloud like the Tasmanian Devil.
365* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Did somebody say ''pancakes?''
366* TheUnfavorite: it's heavily implied that out of all their children Donna likes her least, while with Cleveland it's been outright stated.
367* UsedToBeASweetKid: According to Donna, she used to be a nice little girl back when she lived with Robert. However, on top of her ever-changing teenage hormones, her mom divorced her dad, and remarried a fat, stupid fuck off, turning her into a bit of a bitch.
368* TheVoiceless: Became this after the Browns moved to Quahog following the show's cancellation as she's the only one who hasn't had a speaking part on ''Family Guy'' at all so far.

374[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_cleveland_show_-_rallo_26.png]]
375The crude, prank-pulling son of Robert and Donna. As Cleveland's step son, he's disobedient, liking his real dad better.
376----
377* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Roberta.
378* AntiHero: Good at heart, but mostly disrespectful, obnoxious, bratty, selfish, racist, sexist, disobedient, rude to his dad, etc.
379* AstralProjection: "[[DeathIsNotPermanent Died]]" at the end of their third Halloween special and his astral projection showed him as a [[FogFeet fog footed ghost]].
380* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Like the rest of the family when they moved to ''Family Guy''. Thanks to his show being cancelled and the writers not handling him anymore, ''Family Guy'' strips Rallo of his character in order to make him a more demeaning black stereotype and ButtMonkey. Case in point, how does he react when Stewie insults him? He does absolutely nothing, and walks away defeated.
381** To make matters worse, when ''Family Guy'' did a cross over with the Brown-Tubbs residence in “The Splendid Source”, the writers actually did bother to keep his rambunctious and snarky behavior, when he’s rude to Peter because he’s fat.
382* BarbieDollAnatomy: Revealed when he spent the majority of "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Roberta?", running around naked.
383* BigGuyLittleGuy: The little to Junior's big.
384* BrattyHalfPint: Can be a real dick to his parents and teachers sometimes.
385* CainAndAbel: The Cain to both his siblings.
386* ChildProdigy: Only as of street smarts, but he sure knows his way around the block.
387* TheChessmaster: Has total control over all of his classmates.
388* CreepyChild: Sometimes.
389* DeadpanSnarker: Has a few witty one-liners, regarding either Cleveland, Junior, or Roberta's stupidity.
390* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Uses his cuteness to get on the good sides of people who don't know him.
391* DirtyKid: He has a thing for the ladies and with Cleveland's help in the "Pilot", has discovered a less obvious way to check out the girls in his kindergarten class at Harper Elementary School.
392* EasyEvangelism: Mentioned having converted all his friends at school to Christianity. However, he still has trouble, trying to crack his Jewish teacher, Mrs. Lowenstein.
393* EmbarrassingFirstName: His first name is mentioned several times to be Montclair. Hence he goes by his middle name instead.
394* {{Expy}}: This kid is the black version of Stewie (moreso early seasons Stewie), lampshaded by Le Var. However, this can be an over-exaggeration in appearance at best. Rallo behaves nothing like Stewie.
395** This fact doesn't please Stewie one bit when they finally meet in ''"He's Bla-ack!"'' over on Family Guy.
396* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Cares greatly for Donna, mostly because she's the parent he stayed with after the divorce.
397* EvenEvilHasStandards: He'll only act like a selfish prick if it means pulling off a hilarious prank. Doesn't have the heart to bully someone if he's not gonna have fun doing it.
398%%* FantasticRacism
399* FunnyAfro: His gigantic fro is often mocked for being on someone so small. As Kenny West puts it, he looks like "A ?uestlove bobblehead".
400* HeelFaceTurn: Although he's still wild, he's not as cruel as he was earlier in the series.
401* {{Hypocrite}}: In the episode he learns about slavery, he becomes vocal against interracial relationships but tells Cleveland to ask Lester's thoughts on the singer Seal's relationship as a chance for Cleveland to confront his racism.
402* IgnoredAesop: Episodes like "American Prankster" involve him learning nothing and [[KarmaHoudini going unpunished for his wrongdoings]].
403* {{Jerkass}}: With the new arrivals of Cleveland and Cleveland Jr. Rallo has shown some initial reluctance to accept both into his life, actively insulting them, and insulting their weight.
404* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has his moments of this.
405* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He does get away with a lot of things that he really should be punished for, but there are times where he gets punished (or some kind of karmic retribution happens).
406* KidAnova: More so in the first season than the later years, but it's still there.
407* KnightTemplar: Thinks of himself as a nice, well-behaved little boy.
408* LackOfEmpathy: Sometimes.
409* LittleMissConArtist: Used his cuteness to scam people out of their money in "Squirt's Honor".
410* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''Squirt's Honor'' when Roberta made him realize the way he destroyed Jr.'s optimism was a terrible thing and that he needed to make it right. He even admitted he's a bad person and was scared if he didn't fix what happened, he'd be going to Hell.
411* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after Rollo Lawson of ''Series/SanfordAndSon''.
412* NeverLearnedToRead: As a five year old, Rallo does not know how to read.
413* ObnoxiousInLaws: Rallo originally strongly disliked his new father. However, he warms up to Cleveland, who manages to teach him how to handle checking out the girls in his kindergarten class in the "Pilot".
414* PetTheDog: Occasionally does this on his good days.
415* PingPongNaivete: Has knowledge of stuff well beyond a five year old's knowledge. But also routinely fuddled by typical kid stuff like Santa.
416%%* ThePrankster: To the point Cleveland tries pulling a ScareEmStraight in the episode "American Prankster".
417* {{Sadist}}: That's the reason, why he loves playing pranks so much. He just loves watching people react to the terrible things he does.
418* PuppyDogEyes: Used these to manipulate people into buying candy bars from him in "Squirt's Honor".
419* RandomSmokingScene: Huffed computer duster in "When a Freight Train Loves His Cookie".
420** Also hinted at drinking beer on occasion in "Brownsized".
421* SecretSecretKeeper: He was the first one in the family to know the truth about Auntie Momma. As he says, he's a kid who often sits in family members' laps, and he knows what's supposed to be "down there."
422* StopBeingStereotypical: In "To Live and Die in VA", Rallo opens a barber shop in their house after Donna banned him from Murray's barber shop and Donna later turns it into a lady's beauty shop. Rallo remarks that Donna ruined his barbershop "just like that "Beauty Shop" movie ruined the "Barbershop" franchise", Donna then tells Rallo that "just because we're black that doesn't mean we have to pretend "Barbershop" was a good movie".
423* SweetTooth: Was really obsessed with Halloween candy in "It's the Great Pancake, Junior Brown."
424* TokenEvilTeammate: The Bart Simpson of the Brown-Tubbs family.
425* TookALevelInKindness: Mellowed out a bit more in later seasons.
426* TraumaticHaircut: Suffered a shaved head in "Of Lice and Men", revealing his peanut-shaped cranium.
427* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He and his circle of friends generally act like people in their twenties.

432[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvtropes_rock_hudson.png]]
433Rallo's pet dog, and formerly despite pet dog of Lloyd and Lydia Waterman. [[SixthRanger Joined the main family]] in "Hustle 'N' Bros".
434----
435* AdoptTheDog: The story of his debut episode.
436* ConvenientReplacementCharacter: To Meadowlark Lemon.
437* CousinOliver: Dropped into the main cast, halfway through season four. Served no purpose in the show, aside from looking cute.
438* DogStereotype: He appears to be a stereotypical rich, French poodle, and he served this role too, when he was still the pet dog of the Waterman family. However, he broke free from this stereotype, when he started hanging out with Rallo in a more middle-class environment, and became more of a man's best friend.
439* DyingToBeReplaced: Could have been Rallo's long-awaited replacement dog, after Meadowlark Lemon died in the Season One episode, "Da Doggone Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance".
440* FunnyAfro: His afro makes up 80% of his entire head.
441* HeadPet: One of the first things Rock Hudson does after Rallo finds him is sit on Rallo's head.
442* MeaningfulName: Given his previous owner was senior homosexual, Lloyd Waterman, it makes sense he was named after a gay actor from the 1950's. It's unknown why [[AmbiguouslyGay Rallo didn't rename him to something of his liking]]. Maybe because "Rock Hudson" sounded 'black' enough, that he'd be fine with keeping it how it was.
443* MrMuffykins: His basic archetype.
444* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after the movie actor.
445* SixthRanger: To the family, as of his addition in "Hustle N Bros".
446* TeamPet: To the team that is The Brown-Tubbs Family.
447* UncattyResemblance: Or in this case, "Uncanine Resemblance". He shares Rallo's [[FunnyAfro funny fro]].
448* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When The Brown-Tubbs Family moved back to Quahog, Rock Hudson was nowhere to be found.
449** In fact, in the episode, where they return. Cleveland implied he didn't have a pet, meaning that Rock Hudson has basically been forgotten about, completely.

455->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SethMacFarlane, and Creator/JessHarnell near the show's end
456[[quoteright:323:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_cleveland_show_-_tim_the_bear_4200.png]]
457
458A deeply religious anthropomorphic bear, he works alongside Cleveland at Waterman Cable.
459----
460* AbhorrentAdmirer: He really loves Donna and laments how he never made a move on her when she was single. He's still fantasizing about her.
461* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Sort of brown, but appears to be a shade of orange.
462* AnimalFacialHair: Shown with a [[PermaStubble perma stubble]] [[BeardOfSorrow beard of sorrow]], when he's in states of depression.
463* AnimalReligion: Though he obeys most of the bible, by the book, he denies the part, where it says that animals don't have souls.
464* AnimalJingoism: Literally goes wild, when angered, and if provoked, attacks like a real bear.
465* BearyFriendly: A talking bear who's probably the nicest and most affable of the Guys.
466* BearyFunny: He's an unrealistically humanlike talking bear in an otherwise realistic DomCom. Of course, part of the joke is the fact that no one seems to notice that he and his family are bears.
467* BewareTheNiceOnes: Genial, dull, religious, but still a full grown bear. Something he's aware of ([[ForgotAboutHisPowers although he does sometimes forget]]), and not afraid to use.
468* TheCameo: Tim made a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "Spies Reminiscent of Us", witnessing Cleveland's bathtub gag all the way over in Stoolbend.
469-->'''Tim:''' I-I don't-I don't get it.
470** Tim also makes an appearance in "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with tons of other character from his show.
471* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In "Beer Walk!", [[spoiler:Donna fakes two broken legs so that Cleveland will stop being lazy and do the household chores she normally does]]. At first, when Cleveland's friends find out, Donna tells them off (and throws Holt down a flight of stairs for good measure) and they accept it. Then, the next day:
472-->'''Donna:''' Tim, I thought I told you and your buddies to stay the hell away from my house!\
473'''Tim:''' Yeah, yeah, you did, you did. And then this morning, I remembered something... I'm a ''bear''. I can kill you, maul you, rip your face off, and eat you, and I won't even go to jail, you know, because... uh, because I'm a bear. [[LampshadeHanging I think, you know, in the heat of the moment, I kind of forgot that]]. But, uh, yeah, I'm a bear. I can kill you. So, uh, [[spoiler:tell Cleveland the truth]], because if you don't... ''[roars savagely, then laughs]'' Okay, byesies.
474* TheFundamentalist: Enforces his Christian beliefs onto his friends, or just forces them to do something, with the intent of pleasing Jesus Christ.
475* FunnyAnimal: Like ''Family Guy'' has Brian, and ''American Dad!'' has Klaus, ''The Cleveland Show'' has Tim. Lampshaded in his debut:
476-->'''Cleveland:''' Agh, a bear!
477-->'''Tim:''' Ah, a black man! See, not so funny when it's you, is it?
478* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Only wears a shirt and tie.
479* HopelessSuitor: Tim has shown an attraction to Donna multiple times.
480* {{Hypocrite}}: Tim shuns Lester for his racism, despite his deep-rooted forms of discrimination, [[NobleBigot born of his adherence to his religion]]. He also berates Cleveland if he ever lies to his wife, despite the fact that he hides from his own wife that he smokes cigarettes.
481* ImAHumanitarian: He'd gladly eat his human friends, as long as they're already dead.
482* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He is truly a holy Christian.
483* InnocentBigot: Has made a few iffy comments about black people, but nothing as racist as say, Lester. Most of these comments are really just born of his lack of introspection.
484* JesusTaboo: Gets a lot of eye rolls and groans, for bringing up Jesus all the time.
485* {{Malaproper}}: Tends to butcher common idioms/sayings during casual conversation. He once commented that he wants Lester and Cleveland to "kiss and make out" (kiss and make up) when the two were in the midst of a feud, and another time asked Cleveland if he wanted "some cheese with that complaining" (some cheese with that w[h]ine). It's never made clear whether or not this is because he's a bear, or some other reason.
486* MistakenForGay: Since he doesn't wear pants and he's a [[IncrediblyLamePun Bear]]. He found out that a "Bear" bar is a "[[TheBear Bear]]" bar.
487* NiceGuy: Probably the nicest member of The Guys.
488* OnlyOneName: The closest thing we get to a last name for Tim (as well as his wife and son) is "The Bear."
489* RussianBear: Has a heavy Russian accent.
490* TheStoolPigeon: In "Little Man on Campus", he would've had no problem with turning on his own friends, and losing them their baseball game, just to snitch on Holt for pretending to be a kid.
491* TalkingAnimal: He is a talking bear.
492* TokenReligiousTeammate: Although all the guys believe in the Christian God [[note]]Albeit the unconfirmed, Dr. Fist[[/note]], Tim is the only one who's hell-bent on going to heaven.
493* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: According to Creator/SethMacFarlane, the voice he uses for Tim is a botched impression of the Fenstruck brothers from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', though if you're a 1970s ''SNL'' fan with good ears, the voice Seth uses for Tim sounds more like a botched take on Don Novello's Father Guido Sarducci character.
494* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's 4. However, as he's a bear, it can be assumed that he is older in his years.

506* BigEater: In "Da Doggone Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance", he ate Rallo's roadkilled dog.
507-->'''Lester''': Good news, Kendra. We're having Chinese tonight.
508* BlackComedyRape: Lester is friends with a bunch of hillbilly rapists.
509* BrilliantButLazy: He is often either chronically unemployed or working various minor jobs (and halfheartedly at that). "To Live and Die in VA" shows he can actually be a hard worker and make something for himself if properly motivated.
510* TheCameo: Lester makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
511* ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: He is a skinny man married to the chubby Kendra.
512* DeepSouth: The mullet would be your first clue.
513* DisneyDeath: Faked his own suicide in "To Live and Die in VA".
514* DumbBlonde: Lester is pretty stupid.
515* TheFundamentalist: Probably part of a racist organization.
516* HalfWittedHillbilly: He's a redneck, and he's not very intelligent.
517* HiddenDepths: "To Live and Die in VA" highlights how he actually feels very unfulfilled in life and wants to do better. [[StatusQuoIsGod It doesn't last.]]
518* HillbillyHorrors: Deeply involved with hillbilly rape, eating live animals, inbreeding, murder, white supremacy, child abuse, etc.
519* InnocentBigot: A lot of his apparent racism comes from simple ignorance, as opposed to hate: he thinks that "KKK" stands for "Kendra Krystal Krinklesac" (his wife's name), that the Confederate flag is actually just ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' flag, and that the N-word is a general form of address for black people because he has heard Cleveland frequently use it when talking to Rallo.
520* {{Irony}}: A mild racist who doesn't like black people, voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson (a black man).
521* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: One of the most passive racists you can find. He also cares for his family deep down.
522* KissingCousins: His wife, Kendra, is also his cousin.
523* LikesOlderWomen: Kendra [[OlderThanTheyLook doesn't look it]], but she was an adult in 1962. [[VagueAge Whatever Lester's age may be]], he appears to be the younger partner.
524* NWordPrivileges: Nearly got himself publicly hanged for dropping the "N" bomb, to a bunch of African-American cruisers in New York city. Was saved by Cleveland, who brought forth the addendum to the rule, "If he has one black friend, he gets one free pass."
525** When he did, a message showed up on screen, saying "Results may vary."
526* NobleBigot: His racism doesn't stop him from being friends with Cleveland.
527* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The blue to Kendra's pink.
528* RealMenWearPink: Revealed in "Of Lice and Men", he used to want to be a ballerina as a little boy.
529* RecklessGunUsage: Does not use his guns responsibly.
530* RoadkillForDinner: Lester has been known to bring roadkill home for dinner. Case in point, in the second episode after Cleveland accidentally runs over his stepson's dog he asks Lester to get rid of the body, which he does by eating it, much to Cleveland's disgust.
531* StrawCharacter: A stupid, bigoted, redneck, who identifies as a far-right Republican.
532* TokenEvilTeammate: A racist, bigoted, confederate supremacist, who's part of the group.
533* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Lester claims to be self employed, but it's not clear what he works for. Every time his job is revealed, it's only for that one episode, and in another episode, [[WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs it's different]].
534* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: In "A Cleveland Brown Christmas", Lester worked at a Christmas tree patch. In "Once Upon a Tyne in New York", he worked as a limo driver, and later an animal carcass clean up guy. In "A Short Story and a Tall Tale", he was a bus driver. In "Turkey Pot Die", he owned a turkey hunting gallery, and later a pumpkin patch.

541
542A short hipster who lives with his mother.
543----
544* AbusiveParents: His father is a jerk, his mom is worse than that, and Holt once mentioned his mother used to put him in the dryer.
545* BigFun: Subverted, he's the little fun.
546* ButtMonkey: Is repeatedly mocked for his height and low social sex life.
547* TheCameo: Holt makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
548* CartwrightCurse: Every time he gets even a slightly hot girlfriend, something goes horribly wrong, and their relationship ends, leaving behind nothing, but bad memories.
549* CasanovaWannabe: His sex life isn't as huge as he says it is.
550* ChivalrousPervert: He's always thinking about sex, but he's a nice guy.
551* CompanionCube: His sex doll, Kimi, who is frequently referenced.
552* CompensatingForSomething: So very often. His car actually becomes a ChekhovsGun at one point as a result.
553* FreudianExcuse: His AbusiveParents explain his need to prove himself.
554* GenkiGirl: Gender-flipped, obviously. He loves to have fun, acts hyper, and is always the optimist.
555* HenpeckedHusband: In the episode "Buried Pleasures". Holt starts a relationship with one of Cleveland's co-workers, and she quickly turns physically abusive, for absurd reasons such as if Holt doesn't return her texts immediately.
556-->'''Holt:''' Jane's texting me. I got 30 seconds to call her back or else I get hit... with evening rates.
557* IJustWantToBeBadass: Tried to join the army, but couldn't because of his short stature. Ever since then, he's been trying to act superior to everyone.
558* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Always needs to make himself look cool in front of others, sadly, he never does.
559* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jerkiness aside, Holt is still a rather friendly guy.
560* {{Manchild}}: Still lives with his mama.
561* MistakenForMurderer: In "Buried Pleasure", Cleveland and Donna thought he killed his mother. Spoiler alert: He didn't, but this plot is so well-known, you'd know that even if it wasn't "spoiled" for you.
562* TheNapoleon: A short little midget guy. Although he's more extroverted and (occasionally) impulsive than hot-headed.
563* OlderThanTheyLook: Due to his smaller stature, he is mistaken for being younger than he is. Cleveland hoped to exploit this in "Little Man on Campus" by having Holt pretend to be a high school baseball player in order to get the team a championship win.
564* SmallNameBigEgo: Constantly brags about himself.
565* SpeaksInShoutouts: Quotes movies and lyrics from songs, and says the name of the work, he's referencing to.
566* StepfordSmiler: Acts as the BigFun with his friends despite having a troubled life.
567* TerseTalker: Talks in short bursts. A lot. Like this. It's his thing.

575Stoolbend's main physician and [[SixthRanger fifth member]] of the guys as of "The Fist and The Furious".
576----
577* AscendedExtra: Originally a minor recurring character whenever a doctor was necessary, who didn't even have a consistent voice. He joined Cleveland's entourage in "Fist and the Furious", and received a permanent voice from Bryan Cranston.
578* CharacterDevelopment: He was developed more as a person, when he was added to The Guys.
579* CombatMedic: [[spoiler:Being a former gang member]], it's no surprise that he can kick ass.
580* DarkAndTroubledPast: Dr. Fist is now in the Witness Protection Program, [[spoiler:to protect himself from the New York Mafia]].
581* DrFeelgood: Often makes his patient's problems worse.
582* DrJerk: Mocks his patients all the time.
583* DressedToHeal: Sure is.
584* FlatCharacter: He doesn't receive a lot of a character development throughout the series, and unfortunately he became an AscendedExtra and joined Cleveland's group of friends right around the show's cancellation.
585* HospitalHottie: He is kind of a handsome man, with a chiseled build for a face. Not to mention, when Bryan Cranston took over, he gave him that soothing, orgasmic voice.
586* IKnowYourTrueName: Green-Jarvis Ben-Ellis.
587* KidnappedDoctor: [[spoiler:He used to be this, to The New York Mafia.]]
588* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Part of his work attire.

590* TheMedic: When used as a plot device.
591* OrderliesAreCreeps: Gave Donna a breast exam, and stared at her boobs.
592--> '''Dr. Fist:''' Nice ones.\
593'''Cleveland:''' I know.
594* PlugNPlayFriends: In "Grave Danger", the very next episode after "Fist and The Furious", where he joined The Guys, he is instantly recognized as a regular character and there's never any mention of how new he is.
595* ShotToTheHeart: Got this in "Fist and the Furious".
596--> '''Cleveland:''' Dr. Fist told me that to keep him alive, I needed to shoot him in an area, that was ''very close'' to his heart. It was either two inches to the left of the heart, or two inches to the right. Couldn't remember, so I split the difference.
597* SixthRanger: Fifth in his case, when he was added to the guys group in "The Fist and The Furious".
598* UnclePennybags: Being a doctor, he must make quite the salary. So, his house is huge. He has an indoor pool, a wall-sized TV, and appropriately enough, a life-sized operation game.

608Tim the Bear's snobby wife.
609----
610* AlphaBitch: At least, in the neighborhood. As for all of Stoolbend, Fern really one-ups her.
611* AnimalReligion: Like her husband, she is a strong believer of Christianity.
612* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts as a devout Christian with her wholesome family, but read the other tropes to see how well she really is.
613* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Redhead to Kendra's Blonde and Donna's Brunette.
614* TheCameo: Arianna makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
615* DrugsAreBad: A firm believer in this. She does not allow her son or husband to smoke. [[StrictParentsMakeSneakyKids Yet they do, anyway]].
616* FlatCharacter: Has nothing important to her characters except being a {{Jerkass}} towards everyone.
617* FriendlyEnemy: As much as she and Donna hate each other, they don't have many other options for friends around the neighborhood, so they tend to get along quite well every now and then.
618* GoodCopBadCop: The bad cop to Tim's good cop.
619* HateSink: Her entire character.
620* HolierThanThou: She may be Christian but it doesn't stop her from being a stuck up bitch.

622** [[AtLeastIAdmitIt Admits to being one]] when Donna calls her out on her affair with Robert.
623--> '''Arianna''': A self-righteous Christian is actually a hypocrite? [[SarcasmMode I'll alert the media.]]
624** Not to mention, in this same episode, she [[SmokingHotSex smoked a cigarette, after having sex with Robert]], just like she always tells her husband and son not to do.
625* {{Jerkass}}: Her defining characteristic.
626* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite not having much character outside of being a JerkAss, it is proven in the first season Thanksgiving episode that she actually likes helping people at the homeless shelter.
627* MamaBear: Literally.
628* PassingJudgment: Does this to Donna all the time, criticizing everything about how she runs her life. In "Ladies' Night", it was mentioned that before marrying Cleveland, she didn't even allow Donna into her house, because she didn't like single mothers.
629* ReligiousBruiser: Believes in The Bible, but will still claw Donna's face off in a fight.
630* SitcomArchNemesis: To Donna in several episodes.
631* StrictParentsMakeSneakyKids: Her strict "No Smoking" policy, has turned Raymond into a complete pothead. It has also led to her husband, sneaking a few cigarettes on occasion.

633* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The same talking bear species as her husband, only she has eyelashes, hair, and a dress.

648* FlatCharacter: Technically his entire existence is to appear stoned and provide no development whatsoever.
649* FunnyAnimal: He's funny cuz he's a stupid bear, who smokes weed and makes various non sequiturs in conversations.
650* GeniusDitz: Despite being a stoner, he does know about American political scandals that happened in hotels (like Watergate, Marion Barry smoking crack, Ronald Reagan's assassination attempt, and Eliot Spitzer and his call girls) and once helped his parents out at a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving.
651* TheHyena: Being high, makes him think everything is funny.
652* LikeFatherLikeSon: Tim is addicted to cigarettes, and Raymond smokes weed.

657-->'''Raymond''': I know where everybody is.
658-->'''Cleveland''': Where is she?
659-->'''Raymond''': Because.

661* TheStoner: He's so stoned, he can give a baseball a contact high and can't feel any pain from getting hit by a car.
662* StrictParentsMakeSneakyKids: Raymond probably wouldn't be so much of a pothead, if it wasn't for his mom's strict ban on smoking.

681* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Bodypresses Holt's abusive girlfriend for beating up Cleveland, Lester, and Tim.

698* InformedDeformity: In "Fat and Wet", she said her nipples had grown so big, they had fused together, resembling the Master Card logo. The audience is mercifully spared of any visual confirmation, as the censors would never allow it.
699* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Cleveland Jr and Rallo in different episodes.
700* IWasQuiteALooker: Was once a very slim, very beautiful woman back in the [[TheSixties 1960s]].
701* KissingCousins: Her husband, Lester, is actually her cousin.
702* MultipleChoicePast: A few episodes featured different backgrounds for her that don't all fit together. in "Cleveland's Angel", she is depicted as a thin and attractive woman in the early sixties, while in another episode, she was Lester's guidance counselor when he was in school. Similarly, one episode suggested she and Lester were cousins, and in another half-siblings.
703* NeverLearnedToRead: Doesn't know how to read, as seen in "'Tis the Cleveland to be Sorry".
704* OlderThanSheLooks: She was already an adult back in 1962. She is an old woman, looking much younger than her actual age. In her words "Fat don't crack".
705* PhotographicMemory: In "Tis' the Cleveland to be Sorry", Kendra remembered what Roberta wanted for Christmas, back when she was five years old, much to her surprise, as even ''she'' didn't remember her own wish.
706-->'''Kendra''': An elephant never forgets.
707* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The pink to Lester's blue.
708* TeacherStudentRomance: She was Lester's school guidance counselor, who convinced him to quit high school and marry her (even though one episode revealed that she and Lester are actually half-brother and half-sister, since Lester's dad cheated on his wife with another woman).
709--> '''Lester''': In hindsight, she was a ''terrible'' guidance counselor!
710* VocalDissonance: A gargantuan woman, with a helium high voice. Originally, Aseem Batra wanted to do a gravelly, husky, threatening voice for Kendra, but decided that the helium high voice would be funnier and easier on her vocal cords.

717
718Lester and Kendra's odd, but friendly son.
719----
720* AmbiguouslyGay: In "All You Can Eat", Junior had him dressed as a woman, and when he was told that he could get out of his costume, Ernie pretended that he was being told he had to keep it on.
721* TheCameo: Ernie makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
722* CloudCuckooLander: Makes nonsensical, out of nowhere comments.
723* DumbBlonde: He's got blonde hair and acts like your typical, dumbass, redneck hillbilly.
724* DumbassHasAPoint: His whole character revolves around this trope.
725* HalfWittedHillbilly: He's a redneck like his parents, and as a result, he's pretty stupid.
726* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Had this problem in his debut episode, before meeting Junior.
727* OddFriendship: With Junior.
728* OlderThanTheyLook: Ernie is 17 (according to "The Hangover Part Tubbs" (4x14)) but looks about eight or nine. Justified, as Lester and Kendra nursed Ernie on root beer and it stunted his growth (as mentioned on "Field of Streams").
729** It’s also possible that while he’s thin he has his mothers lack of aging genes.
730* OnlyFriend: Junior.
731* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: When he and Junior first become friends, he spends an increasing amount of time at the house. Attempting to get him to go back to his own house leads to [[ItMakesSenseInContext Lester temporarily disowning him and the government taking him away]].
732* TrespassingToTalk: Kept breaking into The Brown-Tubbs House, in "The One About Friends".

739The unnamed mother of Holt, who's often yelling at him from offscreen.
740----
741* AbusiveParents: In "Pins, Spins, and Fins", Holt mentioned that when he was little, his mom always put him in the laundry machine.
742* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: Holt's mom is always babying him in public.
743* {{Expy}}: [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Where else has there been a nagging mother, who's never shown onscreen and drives the son that still lives with her batshit crazy?]]
744* HiddenDepths: Although she still didn't appear, we learned a lot more about her character, especially with the introduction of her ex-husband, General Richter, explaining their family relationship with Holt, and his reasons for splitting up with her.
745* InvisibleParents: She is never shown on screen, and is mentioned in seldom, and heard even less, despite the fact that she lives in Cleveland's neighborhood, in the same house as Holt.
746* StrongFamilyResemblance: Holt inherited her short stature, according to General Richter.
747* TheVoice: She's always calling him either from offscreen or inside of a [[SceneryCensor conveniently placed domicile]].

752->'''Voiced by:''' Elia Saldana
753[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cecelia_moreno_tvtropes.png]]
754
755A hot girl that falls in love with Cleveland Jr. She is the niece of Choni and works at Choni's Cantina Mexican restaurant.
756----
757* AmicableExes: After Junior tries to protect Cecilia by running off with her and getting married, Junior moves out of his family's house to live with Cecilia but she realizes he is just a kid and later admits they are both too young to be married. Junior offers to remain married to prevent her deportation and Cecilia continues to work for her aunt while they live apart.
758* AscendedExtra: She and her family move into Cleveland's neighborhood in "There Goes El Neighborhood".
759* DaddysGirl: She has shown to be very close to her father. Its implied that she fell in love with Junior because [[LikeParentLikeSpouse he reminds her so much of her dad]].
760* DamselInDistress: When her family was about to be deported, Junior rescued her, by marrying her.
761** She also needed Junior to pair her up with a guy, so she'd have a date for the Valentine's Day dance.
762* DisappearedDad: The only time we see her father, is in his picture on a shrine, implying he's dead.
763* FriendsWithBenefits: Though not in a sexual manner, she and Junior are husband and wife, despite only being friends.
764* HistoryWithCelebrity: One of her distant cousins is Sofia Vergara.
765* LikeParentLikeSpouse: The only reason [[UglyGuyHotWife a girl like her would go out with a guy like Junior]] is because he reminds her of her dead father, who was also fat and unattractive.
766* MassiveNumberedSiblings: As a Mexican, she comes from an extremely large family. Her siblings include Flora, Marco, and Lupo, just to name a few.
767* MsFanservice: While she doesn't show off that much, she is a very attractive young woman. The only time she looks all fanservice-y is in one scene where she wears an alluring nightie and is flirty with her husband.
768* NiceGirl: Unlike most girls in her archetype, Cecelia doesn't act snobbish or condescending toward nerdy boys or anything. In fact, she is a very likable character. Cecilia is very polite to the Browns and proves to be kind-hearted, incredibly sweet, friendly, understanding, and loving towards her husband, Junior.
769* UglyGuyHotWife: With Cleveland Jr.
770* WalkingSpoiler: In her debut episode, Cleveland set Junior up with a fat, homely, Mexican girl named Flora. The next scene showed Junior happily saying he's a relationship, describing a girl, who adequately matches Flora's description. It's not until the second act, we find out Junior was really referring to the beautiful goddess, Cecelia Moreno. So, watching any future episode with her, before "Y Tu Junior Tambien", is kind of spoilery.
771* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Cleveland doesn't understand how Junior can get a hot girl like Cecilia as his girlfriend. Many characters call him out on it, especially Cecilia's aunt, and pointed out Donna is married to ''him''.
772** Though after Cleveland seeing Cecilia's big fat father, this seemed to explain a lot.

779
780Choni is the aunt of Cecilia, the mother of Marco, the possible mother of Flora and owner of Choni's Cantina Mexican restaurant.
781----
782* AscendedExtra: She and her family move into Cleveland's neighborhood; though she is initially focused on as Cecelia's aunt, in later episodes Choni is more in focus than Cecelia.
783* BorrowedCatchphrase: Used Donna's (Sweet "X" and "Rhyming Y") catchphrase in "Y Tu Junior Tambien", but Donna actually appreciated someone else using it.
784-->'''Choni''': Sweet burritos and skeptical papacitos!
785-->'''Donna''': Ooh, I like her.
786* TheCameo: Choni makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
787* FunnyForeigner: A funny Mexican lady.
788* GratuitousSpanish: Occasionally throws in a few Spanish words, every now and then.
789* HartmanHips: Has some ''wide'' hips.
790* {{Hypocrite}}: Choni turns out to have much in common with the stereotypes Cleveland believed her to have and Choni turns out to also have many of her own stereotypes about blacks.
791* IrrationalHatred: Choni blames Cleveland for nearly getting her niece deported (the culprit was Lester) and accuses him of being racist towards Mexicans. She's likely still bitter towards him because it bugged him that her attractive niece has feelings for his overweight son.
792* SpicyLatina: She is also played by RealLife SpicyLatina, Rosie Perez.
793* VerbalTic: Used the "Rolling R" every time, she made the "R" sound, for a gag in "Y Tu Junior Tambien".
794-->'''Cleveland''': How do you do that? Bl-l-l-l-l-l-l. I can't do it.

802
803Cleveland's gruff, abusive father.
804----
805* AbusiveParents: He used Boxing Day as an excuse to beat his son up on Christmas and verbally crushes his self-esteem. Oddly, he has an okay relationship with his grandsons.
806-->'''Cleveland Jr.:''' [[LampshadeHanging I have very mixed feelings about your visits.]]
807** The reason why he verbally abuses Cleveland and is distant from him is because Cleveland screwed up in a stunt show when he was a kid, costing him and his family a trip to Orlando and ruining his father's life with bad luck.
808* BaldOfEvil: Though it's more like "Bald of Jerkass".
809* TheCameo: Freight Train makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
810* CharacterDevelopment: Though not fully consistent, early episodes often focus on his abusive nature towards Cleveland, his desire for him to be more of a man, and him neglecting his wife to sleep with other women. Though he has AesopAmnesia in some instances, in the final season he mostly moves on in "When a Man (or a Freight Train) Loves His Cookie" and has a noticeably better relationship with his wife, son and grandchildren in the last few episodes.
811* HiddenDepths: Although he is fairly sexist in some instances, it is later revealed he is an accomplished mystery writer (enough even to make him a competent sleuth in real life).
812* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has odd moments of (reluctant) compassion for his wife and son. He also cares for his grandson and step-grandson.
813* LaserGuidedKarma: Spends the entirety of his first appearance verbally abusing Cleveland and neglecting his wife while shamelessly flirting and sleeping with Donna's Auntie Momma. But then Cleveland reveals that Auntie Momma was actually a transvestite much to his embarrassment and disgust.
814* MoralityPet: Junior.
815* PetTheDog: Helped his son out a few times. There's also his closeness with Junior and Rallo.
816* ReallyGetsAround: Which is a constant source of friction between him and Cookie. A segment is dedicated in making over dozens of Cleveland-look alikes reacting in shock after he gets told, "Cleveland is your only son." He seems to have mostly gotten over this as of the last season.
817* RealMenWearPink: Writes mystery novels for women under an assumed name (and even dresses like a woman) as seen in "Who Done Did It?", though keeps the secret in line with his sexism.
818* TookALevelInKindness: Not towards Cleveland, but he respects the family he's made. He also goes from a neglectful, cheating spouse to a loving husband.

828----
829* TheCameo: Cookie makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
830* IWasQuiteALooker: Quite quite svelte in her younger days.
831* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She acts rather obnoxious and disrespectful to Donna but she clearly loves her son Cleveland and grandson Junior deeply.
832* KilledOffForReal: One ''Family Guy'' episode reveals she died under unknown circumstances after the show ended.
833* OlderThanTheyLook: She's easily confused to being Cleveland's wife in one episode.
834* ObnoxiousInLaws: In a constant snark war with Donna. Implied to resent her for initially rejecting Cleveland for Robert.
835* ParentalNeglect: Zig-Zagged. She openly coddles her adult son, but she also had no idea about Freight Train subjecting Cleveland to Boxing Day despite a picture of the three of them at the time showing young Cleveland with a black eye.
836* ReallyGetsAround: Although nowhere near as prominent as Freight Train, she slept with Barbara, Cleveland's white childhood nanny, and leaves Freight Train to spend time with George Clinton in "When a Man (or a Freight Train) Loves His Cookie", spurring Freight Train's development.
837* StrongFamilyResemblance: Give her a mustache and she'd be a dead ringer for her son.

845Cleveland's brother, who works as a Naval soldier.
846----
847* AlliterativeName: '''B'''roderick '''B'''rown.
848* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Broderick was introduced in the episode "Our Gang" and given his closeness with Cleveland, it was implied he was going to be a major or at least recurring character. However, since then on, there's been no mention of him. In fact, the writers clearly forgot his existence as soon as the season one finale, "You're the Best Man, Cleveland Brown", when Evelyn said that Cleveland was [=LeVar's=] only son.
849* ContinuityNod: The fact that he even appeared in this show at all is a nod to a rather forgettable one-off gag from the super early Season 2 ''Family Guy'' episode, "He's Too Sexy For His Fat".
850* DeusExMachina: At the end of "Our Gang", Broderick, who had not many any appearances in that episode, prior, randomly walked in with a bunch of drugs to trade with The Stoolbloods to save Cleveland and Junior. It is unknown how he got his hands on those drugs or even how he knew where Cleveland was or what kind of trouble he was in but ... there he was.
851* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: In ''Family Guy'', Broderick worked as a plastic surgeon at the Quahog Hospital. However, in ''The Cleveland Show'', he now works as a naval soldier.
852* VerbalTic: Like his brother, Broderick pronounces the "Air" sound as "Urr".

864* TheCameo: Loretta has only made these kinds of appearances in the show. The only episode, where she arguably served a major role was "Gone with the Wind", [[spoiler:where the episode centered around her death and how her family reacted to her loss]], but even then, she only had one line.
865-->'''Loretta''': [[BorrowedCatchphrase No, no, no, no, no, NO!!!]]
866* TheGhost: Despite being a key component of the show's main premise, Loretta never really made full appearances at any time in the series, aside from being mentioned and making non-speaking cameos every now and then.
867* GivenNameReveal: At her funeral, Reverend Jenkins revealed her full name as "Loretta Maria Callender Brown".

876Donna's thuggish ex-husband, and the father of Roberta and Rallo.
877----
878* TheCameo: Robert makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
879* ConsummateLiar: In "A Cleveland Brown Christmas", after he left his family, he told Rallo that he was an FBI agent so he wouldn't be upset. When Rallo found out the truth, Robert claimed that he was actually Santa Claus.
880* TheDrifter: Robert is inconsistently, in and out of his kid's lives. He mostly just drops by to pick up his alimony.
881* FunnyAfro: Clearly, this was passed down to Rallo.
882* HandsOffParenting: He's a gigantic imbecile when it comes to raising his kids. Roberta has no emotional attachment to him, and Rallo has been led to believe (initially) that he was a man fighting crime even after the divorce and respected him a lot over Cleveland. Later seasons, Rallo can only angrily snark how his dad is real bad at being a father to any of his children. In his own debut episode, he can't even remember Rallo's or Roberta's names, calling them with different names.
883** {{Irony}}: Though he is a great parent to Cleveland Jr., despite not being his blood son. His excuse to a jealous Rallo is that Cleveland Jr. needs all the help he can get to be more courageous with his decisons regarding his love life (whether these stuck or not is up in the air, though).
884* HappilyMarried: With Deedee.
885* HappyEndingOverride: In the last episode, he gets together with Dee Dee and adopts a child. Though this new family is harder than he thought it'd be, he's committed to making it work. Then ''Family Guy'' revealed [[spoiler:Dee Dee committed suicide]].
886* {{Jerkass}}: Spent most of his time with Donna and the family ignoring them and getting drunk.
887* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Only when he's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech reminded how much of an ass he's been]], he does genuinely care for Rallo and Roberta. He even seems to care for Cleveland Junior, his second wife and his new adopted son.
888* LazyBum: Does absolutely nothing for the good of humanity. He spends his days, living in a crappy old apartment, watching TV, going to strip clubs, smoking weed, drinking alcohol, occasionally visiting his children, and supporting his own life, with nothing more than his ex-wife's alimony.
889* OnlyOneName: His last name is never revealed.
890* ParentalNeglect: He is ''not'' a diligent father.
891* PetTheDog: Took Junior under his wing in order to help him with his social life.
892* SixthRanger: The unofficial sixth member of The Brown-Tubbs Family.

905* TheCameo: Auntie Momma makes a cameo in the ''Family Guy'' episode, "No Giggity, No Doubt", along with a ton of other characters from the ensemble cast of ''The Cleveland Show''.
906* CharacterCatchphrase: "I'm outrageous!" Said usually after lifting her leg and letting out a huge fart.
907* {{Expy}}: Some of her character, especially her physical appearance, might call to mind of [[Creator/TylerPerry Madea]].
908* {{Gasshole}}: She does this all the time. In fact, farting is even part of her catchphrase.
909* {{Fartillery}}: She was able to propel her on roller skates through the streets with just and her flatulence.
910* NiceGirl: Auntie Momma turns out to actually be [[spoiler: Donna's Uncle Kevin in disguise. He does this to give young Donna a strong female role model as a kid.]] This proves that Auntie Momma is extremely loving and likable who will do anything necessary for her and her family. [[spoiler:though it's heavily implied he chooses to dress like a woman because he likes it very much and being a mother figure for Donna comes second.]]

924-->'''Donna''': Who's my dad?
925-->'''Dee Dee''': Who ''was'' you father?
926* TheDiva: Dee Dee used to be a famous singer, but when she [[spoiler:got pregnant with Donna, she had to give her to her brother, Kevin, to take care of her, so she could still appear as young and appealing, to the public.]] Nowadays, she's very rich and she lives in a fancy mansion. Despite being a grandmother, she still acts like she's as young as she was, when she was a singer.
927* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: InUniverse: Her band, The Towlettes, were hot stuff in Germany.
928* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:With Robert in the series finale. Much to the disgust of the rest of the family since she's marrying the father of her daughter's children and ex-son in law.]]
929* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:When Cleveland called her and Robert out for being unbearably selfish as parents their entire lives, even getting them to admit they only got together because they were selfish and horny, their first act to prove otherwise was to adopt a Chinese baby to care after instead of becoming better parents to their own children.]]

931* MissingMom: For most of Donna's life.

961* BadBoss: Downplayed. He is competent at his job, but is implied to be racist to Cleveland, has sexually harassed Terry (who doesn't seem to notice or care) as seen on "Birth of a Salesman," "Your Show of Shows" and "Field of Streams," and offered a six-month severance package in exchange for cutting off everyone else's health insurance ("Brown-Sized").
962* DepravedHomosexual: At best, he sexually harasses Terry at work. At worst, he arranged the death of his wife so he can be with his lover (the town coroner), as seen on "Who Done Did It?"
963* DirtyOldMan: A rare occurrence of one who hits on young men namely Terry Kimple, but has branched out to other young men ever since Terry married Paul. He also has a lover in the town coroner. Not even teenage boys are safe from him.
964** In "Brown-Sized," it's implied that Mr. Waterman preys on 19-year-old Cuban boys who sell cologne at the mall, and, in "Little Man on Campus," he paid a visit to the high school baseball team as they were showering.

"Little Man on Campus"), was concerned for Terry's health when Cleveland crashed the cable truck in "Birth of a Salesman," was the only one who stayed behind to mourn Tom's death (while everyone else broke into his office to loot it) in "Like a Boss," and, in "Das Shrimp Boot," he kicked Cleveland out of his office after Cleveland told him that he needed time off work to mourn the loss of his quintuplets whom he drowned because God said so (Cleveland lied, of course, but Waterman actually took that seriously).
967* FreudianExcuse: His racism against black people stems from his mother underestimating (and having sex with) minorities.
968* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Terry.
969* TransparentCloset: Despite being married, it's pretty much public knowledge that he's not straight. Even his wife knows that she's only married to him as a cheap ploy to make people think he's a heterosexual (as implied in "A Cleveland Brown Christmas").

980* TheBeard: In the first episode where she appeared, Mr. Waterman is putting together a Santa costume and calls for his beard, at which point [[VisualPun Lydia appears...holding his Santa beard.]] Her being this trope is why [[spoiler: Lloyd kills her because he wanted to be with male lover, the Coroner]]

982* KilledOffForReal: In "Who Done Did It?", [[spoiler:her character was officially killed off the show, by her husband, Lloyd, who poisoned her soup. At first, Cleveland thought that he was the murderer, because he threw a hard boiled egg at her, [[ContrivedCoincidence right when she died]].]]

1074----
1075* {{Archenemy}}: To Cleveland.
1076* BlatantLies: The opening song has Cleveland describe him as an old friend, but Cleveland can't tolerate him, and the only known interaction they had in the past started with Wally threatening to tattle on a teenaged Cleveland for drinking beer at school and ended with Cleveland scaring him so badly he pissed himself.
1077* BringMyBrownPants: In "Field of Streams", he famously soiled his thighs and pocket contents.

1080* ControlFreak: He tries to keep the children of the school under control, with unnaturally strict rules, but he does so in a such an "uncool" manner, that nobody can take him seriously.
1081-->'''Principal Farquhare''': Watch the height of that five! All high fives must be at least shoulder height or lower.
1082* DependingOnTheWriter: Although he's usually a powerless dork, who can't control his students, if the plot needs to raise the stakes, he'll suddenly become more competent, and be able to dish out some real punishment, on whoever the hero of the story is.
1083* DrugsAreBad: Hated drugs as both a kid and an adult, and tries everything, with no success, to keep them off his school property.
1084* ExtremeDoormat: Even though he's a full grown adult and the principal of the goddamned school, he still gets no respect and nothing ever goes his way.
1085** Cleveland and his family are his worst enemies, yet every day of his job, he's forced to work with Donna as his secretary, Cleveland as the school's baseball coach, and with Junior and Roberta as students. It doesn't help that Junior is the class president.

1095* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The last name, "Farquhare" could not be a trickier, more un-phonetic name to spell.
1096* TheStoolPigeon: When he was a student, he threatened to tell the principal that Cleveland and his buddies were smoking on campus.
1097* TragicVillain: The reason he has it out for The Brown-Tubbs Family so bad is because, Cleveland bullied him back in high school. His most memorable moment of this, was when he was so frightened by Cleveland and his friends, that he peed in his pants. [[spoiler:When he tried to get revenge on him, he failed miserably, and the same thing happened again.]]
1098* VillainBall: In "Field of Streams", Principal Farquhar first rose to villainhood, by getting Junior to steal Cleveland's prized baseball jersey and incinerate it.

1132* RaceFetish: Black women, yo.
1133* SatelliteCharacter: Only serves a purpose, when Roberta is involved.

1149-->'''Miss Gargalo''': Awful! Awful! That was the worst singing, I've ever heard!
1150-->'''Oliver''': Did I get the part?
1151-->'''Miss Gargalo''': ''[unenthusiastic]'' Yes.
1152* HeelFaceTurn: At the end of "Ladies' Night", he was competing against Junior, for school president, and originally planned on humiliating him, by beating him, but when Junior saved his life, he dropped out of the race, saying that Junior had proven to be a much better and far more qualified school president than he is.

1154* JerkJock: His basic archetype.

1178-->'''Reggie:''' Say, blood. I heard that girl beat you up, the other today.
1179-->'''Junior:''' ''[sadly]'' Yeah.

1264* CloudCuckooLander: Her teachings to the kids are certainly not kid-friendly. She regularly has them look after turtles to teach them that they're too young to have kids and would suck looking after one...while being kids themselves. Her class's age average is ''5''.

1349* FlatCharacter: All he is, is the same one-dimensional gay stereotype, we've seen before, with the only difference being, he's a little kid. He only makes short appearances in episodes, with no central plot focus, so we don't know much about him.

1442* BattleRapping: Did this with Junior in "Brotherly Love". [[spoiler:Lost epicly.]]

1447* InformedDeformity: Had a lazy eye in "Brotherly Love", that was never seen, because it was always being covered by his [[CoolShades cool shades]]. However, it was clearly just meant to be a gag, as he was seen without glasses in future episodes, and his eyes were normal.
1448* ItsAllAboutMe: Anytime his celebrity status is in jeopardy, Cleveland always wishes to help or get involved in it, resulting in success. However, by the next time Kenny shows up, he fervently tries to forget Cleveland ever did anything for him and goes back to being a jerk to him.

1467** Worst of all, he was caught peeping on a bunch of college girls in one episode.
1468* EverybodysDeadDave: As a man Murray's age, it's no surprise that all his companions keep dying. Murray lives in a retirement home, where it's a [[RunningGag running gag]] for the "Now Serving" sign to drop in numbers, during every establishing shot. He was seen visiting a dead friend in "Grave Danger", and everybody else in his entire rest home died in a fire in "Pins, Spins, & Fins".
1469* GrumpyOldMan: Murray acts very cold and closed off, during the Christmas season. This is because he is sickened by the lack of Hanukkah representation in media, as it leaves him with no way of getting into the holiday spirit.

1471* JewishComplaining: Although most of his complaints are fairly justified, he tends to moan and complain a lot.
1472* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: In his first appearance, he wants to escape his retirement home--saying "that farshtinkener place" is killing him, despite the treatment he receives there.
1473-->'''Murray:''' Look, kid, you're too young to understand this, but living isn't just about life; it's ''quality'' of life.
1474* NeverMyFault: With the exception of admitting to how he misunderstood Rallo and his holiday in "Murray Christmas", Murray often fails to admit, to his wrongdoings, even when he knows he fucked up.
1475* NotSoDifferentRemark: With Rallo.
1476-->'''Rallo''': Come on, Murray. Let's go sit on a public park bench together, and watch people try to figure us out.
1477* PlotImmunity: [[spoiler:In "Pins, Spins, & Fins", Stoolbend Rest Home burns down, and 88 of the seniors died. All except for Murray, who was miraculously the only survivor. Can't kill off a recurring character, can we?]]

1493* {{Hypocrite}}: When Rallo called him, on his radio show, Dwayne repeatedly told him to turn his radio off when he called, even after he got the point and despite Rallo not even turning on his radio to begin with.

1494* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Generally does this when describing action packed incidents.

1513* TheFriendNobodyLikes: If you can even call him a friend.
1514* IJustWantToHaveFriends: His primary struggle in the series. He mainly pesters Cleveland for bro time, since he made the mistake of sitting at his table, after getting kicked out of The Guys group in "How Cleveland Got His Groove Back".
1515* LamePunReaction: Almost always gets this reaction to all his jokes.
1516* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Since nobody else will.

1520* RunningGag: In two of the parody episodes, the alternate version of Donny was shot dead, for making a stupid joke.
