History BaseBreakingCharacter / Clarence

* Joshua: While he has more fans than haters, his fans cannot find any reason to hate him as a consequence of his status as the show’s ultimate ButtMonkey — even Belson never suffered as much as he did! In fact, while his earlier punishments were minor LaserGuidedKarma, he was increasingly degraded into a CosmicPlaything and further into KafkaKomedy territory as the show went on, with nearly every entity the series has to offer (special mention towards Clarence and Sumo) seemingly out to harm him in numerous ways. Other fans of the show, however, seem to find no problem with his abysmal treatment and find it [[TheChewToy rather amusing as the show intended]].

* Clarence: Fans either think that he's an [[UglyCute adorable]] and funny {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, or find his actions not funny at all. In fact, many grew tired of his over-exaggerated KarmaHoudini status considering whenever he caused or gotten involved into trouble, he'll more often than not get away scot-free without facing any real consequences or sort of punishment, regardless if he is or isn’t aware of his surroundings. For some detractors it’s to the point where they wished that something particularly detrimental happened to Clarence — [[TakeThatScrappy even to the point of suffering]] — just so that he gets even with his more worse actions. Others just wished that he wasn't mandatorily crammed in every episode, [[ADayInTheLimelight especially within episodes focusing on other characters.]] However, it must be pointed out that he often got flak from other characters in the show for his more annoying actions even if he wasn’t necessarily punished for them. Even then, though, this wasn’t enough to offset is increasingly {{flanderiz|ation}}ed characterization [[TookALevelInDumbass as a mindless troublemaker who too often puts others in harm's way.]] The episode "Dare Day" is a noteworthy example of this, where he and Sumo almost killed each other over a bunch of dares.
* Jeff: Fans love him for being an adorkable character with common sense and humor to boot. Others hate him due to his [[DramaQueen (often over dramatic and frankly uncalled for) freak-outs]], his creepy opinions of girls, his ItsAllAboutMe behavior, and his obsessive self-view on social ranking. He is especially irksome when he becomes hyper-competent in trying to be better than others, particularly towards his two friends, in terms of intelligence and social standing.

* Belson: His fans find him funny for being the ComicallySerious, and believe him to be a harmless JerkassWoobie and ButtMonkey; his detractors hate him for being a rich, SpoiledBrat with borderline FauxAffablyEvil elements who deserves his ButtMonkey status; and those who sum him up as the ''Clarence'' version of [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Eric Cartman]], but without Cartman’s charisma and darkly humorous personality.

* Sumo: His fans consider him as the OnlySaneMan who is at least more favorable than his two friends (arguing that Clarence becomes excessively stupid over on, and Jeff is no more than a self-centered, egotistic asshole). They further insist that his more negative behavior is comparatively more understandable than, say, Jeff’s, as a result of his poverty-level living standards and overcrowded family unit. The show makes it clear that his parents are overwhelmed with their own jobs and many children, so Sumo [[ParentalNeglect hardly gets shared moments with them]] despite them doing their best for their kids. Also, before making up in “Stump Brothers”, Sumo’s eldest brother seemingly acted like an unsympathetic BigBrotherBully throughout Sumo’s life. However, with all that said, Sumo’s detractors find him just unappealing entirely, others are simply turned off by his rather raspy voice, or they mainly dislike his general mischievous behavior, particularly when adhering to Clarence’s own chaotic shenanigans.

* Belson: in both sides; fans that find him funny for being the ComicallySerious and believe that he is a harmless JerkassWoobie and ButtMonkey, while his detractors hate him for being an rich SpoiledBrat asshole and added with borderline FauxAffablyEvil, who deserves his ButtMonkey status and those who see him as the ''Clarence'' version of [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Eric Cartman]], but not funny or favorable at all.
