Recap / The Cleveland Show S 1 E 5 Cleveland Jrs Cherry Bomb

Go To

Donna worries for Roberta's temple of chastity, when she keeps fooling around with Federline. Cleveland's many failed attempts at scaring her straight, end up making Junior pledge his virginity to Cleveland.


Tropes:

  • Caught on the Jumbotron: Roberta and Federline get this, while making out.
  • Cringe Comedy: It probably goes without saying that Jr. pledging his virginity to his Dad is embarrassing as it is funny.
  • Double Standard: Cleveland is disgusted, and opposed to the idea of a teenage girl being sexually active. However, he is appalled by the idea of his teenage son of roughly the same age, being a virgin. To him, a sexually active teenage girl is a slut, and a sexually active teenage boy is cool.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Cleveland tries to use church to scare Roberta into pledging her virginity to him. Instead, Cleveland Jr does, leading to humiliation and the reveal of his hypocrisy.
  • Nature Abhors a Virgin: Junior is shamed by his father, for being a virgin.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Junior pledges his virginity to his dad, and goes to a purity ball with a bunch of girls.
  • Visual Innuendo: At the purity ball, the balloon decorations resemble the shape of a big, pink penis. At the end of that, is a cluster of red cherry shaped balloons.
