Recap / Family Guy S 21 E 5 Unzipped Code

Go To

After losing his job as a mailman, Cleveland gets a new job at the brewery and quickly becomes more successful than Peter.


Tropes:

  • Feathered Fiend: Cleveland's last attempt to improve his internet connection (by taking his laptop to the roof of his house) failed because a bird swooped in, grabbed his laptop and flew off.
    Cleveland: Bird! Bird! Bird stole my laptop!
  • Running Gag: Peter keeps making racially insensitive jokes offscreen and has to take pictures with Cleveland, and later Mort Goldman, in order to prove that he isn't racist.
  • Status Quo Is God: Cleveland gets his job back by the end of the episode, though we at least see him actually do so instead of it just being undone.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Meg's only real scene in the episode sees her having a good laugh about the calendar and getting complimented by Peter for her joke.
  • Video Call Fail: During a Zoom meeting with the guys, Cleveland's internet connection is so bad that he keeps freezing every couple of seconds. He goes into the living room for a better connection and asks Donna to unplug everything to make the connection stronger, but she unplugs the wrong thing and Cleveland's screen goes black. Then Cleveland climbs onto the roof of his house to re-establish the connection, only for a bird to steal his laptop.
  • Wardrobe Malfunction: What gets Cleveland fired as a mailman; during the sexy calendar shoot, one of Cleveland's testicles was exposed, while he was wearing the company uniform, no less.
