4!!Tropes:
5
6* AnachronicOrder: Despite the following episode, clearly being the first episode of season two, this aired first.
7** Strangely, the Season 2 debut episode makes a [[CallBack callback]] to this one, when a fan of The Cleveland Show wears a shirt, reading "I Be-Cleve".
8* TheCameo: Bruce from ''Family Guy'' makes a cameo.
9-->'''Bruce''': Whoops, wrong show.
10* ContinuityNod: Kenny and Candice West from "Brotherly Love" return.
11** Included on the billboard for Top 100 Cartoon Songs, are previous songs from The Cleveland Show, such as "Balls Deep in Love" from "Love Rollercoaster" and "Straight Outta Stoolbend" from "The Cleveland Junior Cherry Bomb".
12* IJustWantToBeYou: Kenny wanted to be Cleveland.
13* OneHourWorkWeek: Lampshaded. Cleveland consistently says that he "plain ol' forgot to go to work today".
14-->'''Cleveland''': Work! I keep forgetting to go to that!
15* OutOfFocus: Cleveland Junior had no dialogue in this episode.
16* PleaseDontLeaveMe: When Obama flew off in his helicopter, Donna jumped up and grabbed onto it, begging him to take her with him.
17* ReferenceOverdosed: The song billboard for Top 100 Cartoon Songs includes tons of songs from other cartoons, including "Bag of Weed" and "You have AIDS" from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', "The Pecan Sandies Song" from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', "Boozehound", "Do the Bartman", "We Put the Spring in Springfield", "Baby on Board" and "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', "Blame Canada" and "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" from ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'', "Leela: Orphan of the Stars" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', "Lesbian Seagull" from ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica'', "Eep, Opp, Ork, Ah, Ah" from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'', "Happy Anniversary" and "Happy Housewife" from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', "Hello My Baby" from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', "Heffalumps and Woozles" from ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'', the theme song from ''WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey'', "Hakuna Matata" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', "Kiss Dee Girl" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', "Somewhere Out There" from ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'', the theme song from ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', "Feel Good Inc." by the cartoon band Music/{{Gorillaz}} and "Opposites Attract", which is just the mixed media music video of the same name.
18* SelfDeprecation: Kanye West starred as himself, going along with a joke, where Cleveland said "Obama doesn't care about black people." This was of course a reference to Kanyegate; an incident at the 2009 VMA Awards, and his infamous statement, "George Bush doesn't care about black people" that he made during an NBC concert as a tribute to those who were lost when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.
