Go To

Freight Train and Cookie get remarried, but Cleveland's own father doesn't allow him to be the best man.


Tropes:

  • Back for the Finale: Several one-time characters, throughout all of season one, appear in the audience at the wedding, including Chanel, Jane, Fabriza, Slim Biggins, Dan Rather, Tila Tequila, The Crazy Eights, etc.
  • Bowdlerise: The producer's commentaryfor this episode explain that the scene where Tim consoles Cleveland was originally planned to be shot at a wider angle, with his erect penis visible. The network naturally didn't allow this, leading to the change below.
  • The Bus Came Back: Robert returns, after being gone for pretty much the whole season, Freight Train and Cookie appear again, after they made one appearance prior, and the story of Loretta's death is continued, when the reading of her will comes into play.
  • The Cameo: Herbert the Pervert appears at the beginning of the episode, and Peter and Quagmire appear at the end.
    Quagmire: Well, they made through the whole season. Now can I have my own show, Peter?
    Peter: Quagmire, you're a rapist.
  • Continuity Nod: Cleveland reminds his dad that he had sex with a transvestite in "A Brown Thanksgiving".
  • Continuity Porn: Several one-time characters from previous season 1 episodes show up in the audience at the wedding.
  • Dance Party Ending: That's how everybody celebrates the wedding in the end.
  • A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: The Brown-Tubbs Familty, (sans Cleveland) inherent tons of money from Loretta's will, and they blow it all on worthless crap in a matter of days.
  • Informed Flaw: Junior has "brainstorms", that he needs to take medication for. His eyes flicker and he thinks he's a falcon for a second. This is a gag that is never brought up again.
  • Orbital Kiss: Freight Train and Cookie share one.
  • Season Finale: And this one goes out with a bang.
  • Shoulders-Up Nudity: Waist-up in this case, the normally bottomless Tim previously mentions how strip clubs aren't a good place for people like him who don't wear pants. This gag is then invoked when he consoles Cleveland and is shown only from the waist up to hide his erect penis.
  • Wedding Episode: This episode is about the wedding of Freight Train and Cookie Brown.
