"I'm gonna kill you Junior."
  • Holt's girlfriend. The beatings that she gives are just plain brutal.
  • The episode "A Rodent Like This" has Cleveland's pet rodent "Rat Lauer" getting rabies and becoming hellbent on attacking Cleveland and Donna, who hide in their car in fear of when he'll attack next.
    Cleveland: He's crawling up the exhaust pipe... HE'S IN THE CAR!!!
    • Donna's rabies symptoms presenting at the end is pretty disturbing too, even it didn't really happen.
    • In the same episode, it is shown that Junior is a member of a secret force made up of ex-CIA agents considered to extreme for the force. This scene provides some "explanation" regarding the disappearance of the hyperactive Junior from Family Guy.
  • Tim the Bear occasionally. Even when played for laughs. He's generally mild mannered, anthropomorphic, sapient, and to mentioned also a devout Christian. May make you forget that he's, well, a bear:
    • One episode has him apparently mauling and killing a bunch of people on bus in spite of Cleveland's instruction to only scare.
    • "Cleveland's Angels" has him eating at an "all you can eat" buffet only for him to roar menacingly from a dissatisfied appetite. You clearly see the surrounding staff and other customers cowering for their safety.
    • "Beer Walk!" Has Tim actively threaten to MURDER Donna after she threatened him and Cleveland's friends after she keeps faking broken legs to get out of doing any work. He makes it VERY CLEAR that he can do as he pleases to Donna; and because Tim's a bear? He won't get arrested for any of it. He can get away with anything. Tim actually ROARS at Donna in a very realistic manner to PROVE he isn't joking…
  • In "Squirts Honor", after Rallo scams Junior in the scout invitation, Junior starts to be a downer to everyone else, and rips his own stuffed animal Larry the Leopard. Then, at the end of the episode, Larry's headless body becomes alive and starts to move and puts his head back and twists it in a 360 degree angle. Then, his eyes turn red and he threatens to kill Junior.
