History Characters / TheClevelandShow

The characters for ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow''.

* HappilyMarried: Cleveland loved Donna ever since High School and they do show to be happy for the most part. Out of all of Seth MacFarlane's animated main couples, they seem to have the healthiest relationship.

* HappilyMarried: Despite their obvious problems, It is clear Donna considers Cleveland to be the love of her life. Out of all of Seth MacFarlane's animated main couples, they seem to have the healthiest relationship.

* HeadTurningBeauty: When she [[BuxomIsBetter sprouted a pair of breasts]], she got the undivided attention of every guy in Stoolbend High. However, she thinks it was because of her [[NiceHat stylin' hat]] at the time.

* SheCleansUpNicely: She explained this to Junior in "All You Can Eat". Back when she was in 6th grade, she was an average, unpopular girl, with no friends and no romantic life. However, when 7th grade came around, she developed into a taller, prettier, fuller breasted, hottie who got the attention of all the guys and quickly rose to the popularity she had today. Roberta knew she made the right choice, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint buying that]] [[NiceHat stylin' new hat]].

* NiceHat: Wears a black guy fedora.

* NiceHat: Thedore wears a backways blue cap.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Like the rest of the family when transitioning into ''Family Guy''. Now that Cleveland’s show is canned and the writers aren’t handling the cast anymore, ''Family Guy'' is free to retool them however they wish, regardless if if it’s vastly different to how they were portrayed previously. In Roberta’s case, her troublemaking tendencies have devolved into a [[UpToEleven full-on whore,]] implied to have let Quagmire have filthy sex with her, and also mentioned to have an addiction towards analgesics.

* AngryBlackMan: Subverted, and referenced to twice in the first episode.
-->'''Tim''': Wow, I've never seen a black guy cry before.
-->'''Lester''': I always thought they just got more pissed off.

* [[spoiler: NiceGuy]]: Auntie Momma turns out to actually be [[spoiler: Donna's Uncle Kevin in disguise. He does this to give young Donna a strong female role model as a kid.]] This proves that Auntie Momma is extremely loving and likable who will do anything necessary for her and her family. [[spoiler:though it's heavily implied he chooses to dress like a woman because he likes it very much and being a mother figure for Donna comes second.]]

* [[SheCleansUpNicely Cleans up Nicely]]: As shown in ''Once Upon a Tyne in New York''; give him a bath, a haircut, and a clean suit and he could almost be considered ruggedly handsome, provided one overlooks the gaping hole in his face.

* AbsenteeActor: Purposely went absent in the episode "Grave Danger", for a [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall joke]].
-->'''Cleveland:''' Hey, Junior. Haven't seen you much, this episode.
-->'''Junior:''' Yeah, I got a bye week.

* AbsenteeActor: In the episodes "Field of Streams" and "Our Gang".

* SkunkStripe: She has a platinum blonde streak in her otherwise black hair, more than likely a weave or a bleach job.

* ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: She is a chubby wife, married to the skinny Lester.

* FatSlob: She is absolutely disgusting.

* MissingMom: She is never shown on screen, and is mentioned in seldom, and heard even less, despite the fact that she lives in Cleveland's neighborhood, in the same house as Holt.

* FreudianExcuse: The reason why he verbally abuses Cleveland and is distant from him is because Cleveland screwed up in a stunt show when he was a kid, costing him and his family a trip to Orlando and ruining his father's life with bad luck.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]: In "Who Done Did It?", [[spoiler:her character was officially killed off the show, by her husband, Lloyd, who poisoned her soup.

'''Freight Train:''' You know the rules, If you can beat him a fight.\\

--->'''Cleveland:''' I got one for every round I lasted. [[SuddenlyShouting WHAT A HORRIBLE MEMORY?!]] [[LampshadeHanging WHY DO I EVEN CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AT ALL?!]]

* GlamorousSingleMother: Played this role in the first episode. [[spoiler:Although technically, she wears a wig, tons of make up, and underneath all that, she's a gross looking middle-aged lady, so she's pretty realistic.]]

* BrilliantButLazy: She's actually a mildly sharp cookie, but willingly acts like a vapid teenage cliche, although the exact scale varies based on what RuleOfFunny calls for.

** An episode in the final season jokes on this explaining that Fat Junior is actually a spy who [[KillAndReplace killed the original hyperactive Slim Junior]], as part of a gambit to assassinate Tim, who's the head of a terrorist sleeper-cell. It's [[BizarroEpisode doubtful this is canon]], as it's only told to Rallo. The remaining episodes never brought it up again, and Tim was never killed.

* BeautyMark: Above the lip.

* BeautyMark: [[MyEyesAreUpHere It's hard to notice]], but she has a cute little beauty mark on her face.

* BeautyMark: She has one on her cheek.

* PrinceOfPranksters: To the point Cleveland tries pulling a ScareEmStraight in the episode "American Prankster".

* ItIsPronouncedTropay: Famous for replacing the "air" sound in any of his words, with "ur", most notable is the word "turrible", which has undergone a bit of [[MemeticMutation memetic mutation]]. Whenever it comes up, he also pronounces "anus" as "annus."

* InformedDeformity: In "Fat and Wet", she said her nippled had grown so big, they had fused together, resembling the Master Card logo. We never actually see this, thank God, because the censors would never allow it.
* FunWithAcronyms: With the full name, Kendra Krystal Krinklesac, her initials are "KKK".
* HiddenDepths: Had a vivid backstory, which she was going elaborate on in "Cleveland's Angels", but Cleveland didn't have time for that.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Cleveland Jr and Rallo in different episodes.

* StrawmanCharacter: [[spoiler:When Donny turned out to be an evil, detestable character, they decided to cram in some racism into his character, just before his death, as his final words were "I HATE BLACK PEOPLEEEEEE!"]]

* StrawmanPolitical: [[spoiler:When Donny turned out to be an evil, detestable character, they decided to cram in some racism into his character, just before his death, as his final words were "I HATE BLACK PEOPLEEEEEE!"]]

* StrawmanPolitical: A stupid, bigoted, redneck, who identifies as a far-right Republican.

* BandGeek: He plays the tuba.

* {{Transgender}}: Or at least a WholesomeCrossdresser.

* {{Transgender}}: Pre-op.

* UnfortunateNames: Now that she's married Junior, she underwent the "Brown" family name. Very demeaning for a Mexican.

* UnfortunateNames: Originally his name was "Quang Quang", but when he was adopted, he was christened with the new name, "WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey".

The nerdy principal of Stoolbend High School, and leader of the school's math club, and capella group [[UnfortunateName The Fluffers]].

* UnfortunateNames: "Fluffers" are people who work behind the scenes of pornographic movies, helping the male actor's penis get erect or "fluffed", before the show.

** Case in point: In "Skip Day", he tries to boost Cleveland's self-esteem by giving himself a fake black eye and telling everyone that Cleveland beat him up. [[RealityEnsues When Cleveland gets arrested]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone and Junior realizes he might go to prison,]] he steals a cop's gun, breaks Cleveland out of police custody and leads half the force on a wild chase through Stoolbend.

* RealityEnsues: He's mostly trying to front, like he's a mature, adult-like kid, but in "Beer Walk!", he kept getting scared by Rallo, jumping out of corners, dressed like chucky, causing him to cry and piss his pants, like a normal five year old.

* NotSoDifferent: For all his snark, he can relate to both Cleveland and Holt due to knowing what it's like to suffer ParentalNeglect from a questionable father.

* NotSoDifferent: With Rallo.

* PolkaDork: In one episode, he and a group of other BandGeeks formed a polka band.
