In the first Halloween special of The Cleveland Show, Cleveland Junior is shamed into believing he's too old for trick-or-treating.
Tropes:
- An Aesop: Rallo learns that he shouldn't eat too much candy.
- Cleveland learns he should just let Cleveland Junior be himself.
- Balloon Belly: Rallo gets fat from eating too much candy.
- Butt-Monkey: Cleveland Junior was shamed into not trick or treating, forbidden from eating any candy, egged by Oliver and the other bullies, and he didn't even get any retribution at the end of the episode.
- Call-Back: Cleveland reads Mustache Aficionado, the same magazine he previously read in the Family Guy episode, "McStroke".
- The Cameo: Junior has a cutaway to Halloween back in Quahog, where he went to the home of Herbert the Pervert from Family Guy, and Herbert tricked him into jacking him off.
- Exact Words: Donna orders Rallo to eat one piece of candy per night. But Rallo muses that she didn’t say how big a piece of candy he’s to be given. End result, a giant ball of candy mushed together and Rallo diving right in.
- Halloween Episode: The first of the series.
- Hypocrite: Donna tells Rallo not to eat too much candy because it's bad for his teeth. Meanwhile, she drinks tons of wine, leaving stains on her own teeth.
- Cleveland believe his son was too old for trick or treating but he went out himself to trick or treat.
- Ms. Fanservice: Roberta, in her "ghost" costume.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Cleveland had this when Donna made him realize that changing Junior just made him miserable and still getting picked on by bullies.
- Too Old to Trick-or-Treat: Cleveland tells Junior that he's too old to go trick-or-treating and makes him pass out candy. He ends up going anyway, but he's ambushed by bullies who then vandalize the house. Cleveland tries to improve Junior's image to make him seem cooler, but Donna makes him realize that he should let him be himself, so he allows his son to keep trick-or-treating.
