Go To

Cleveland Junior gets a job, working at The Broken Stool. Meanwhile, Roberta gets bullied by school alpha bitch, Lacey Stapleton.


Tropes:

  • Alpha Bitch: Lacey Stapleton to Roberta, and Fern Stapleton to Donna.
  • Always Someone Better: Donna tells Roberta, that the way to deal with bitches like Lacey, is to one-up them at everything.
  • Comes Great Responsibility: Cleveland thinks that if Junior gets a job, it will teach him a little something about responsibility.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Cleveland gets Junior fired from The Broken Stool by threatening to turn Gus in to the authorities for letting a 14-year-old work in a bar. Junior retaliates by humiliating Cleveland through changing the sizes of his shirts to make him think he's gotten fatter, cut the soles of his shoes to make him off-balance, trimming his mustache before cutting it off, get Dr. Fist to go along with diagnosing him a fake mustache disease, and replacing their secret stash of beer with the non-alcoholic kind which leads to them unable to tolerate each other while being sober and eventually beat the hell out of each other to the point Tom starts biting Lester. Jr. reveals the scheme to Cleveland and his father was impressed by how much he did to get back at them.
  • Fun with Acronyms: Fern's charity donation is called "Caucasian Heroes Offering Dollars Everywhere".
  • New Job Episode: Junior gets a new job, working at The Broken Stool.
  • Overly Long Gag: Cleveland calling Len Stein, to ask him several questions about Popsicle stick models of the Eiffel tower.
