History WesternAnimation / JorelsBrother

* ContinuityCreep: Season 3 onwards has a heavy continuity. At first, the series was mostly episodic, and one could watch them in any given order. Nowadays, miss one episode, and you'll be asking [[spoiler:where is Lara]], why is an elderly clown in the classroom, or why is there a flat-screen TV in the house now.

* ArtEvolution: In the second season, most characters got smoother lines, and the backgrounds changed from a simple, cartoonish style to a more realistic, well-made style, with much more saturated colors as well instead of the dull colors seen in the first season.

* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: Jorginho permanently wears proeminent braces, which he claims to love but tried to take off twice. Jorel's brother is also forced to wear these temporarily, making it [[TheUnintelligible literally impossible to understand anything he's saying]].

* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In the original theme song, the only characters who appear physically are the entire main family, Lara and Ana Catarina, with several supporting characters being portrayed as doodles. The second version, on the other hand, features almost every relevant character in the series, though oddly, Ana Catarina [[InvertedTrope is absent from it]] despite still being one of the most proeminent characters [[note]]An animatic for the new opening shows that Ana Catarina was originally supposed to appear in it, but was removed from the final version for unknown reasons, while many irrelevant characters do appear in it[[/note]].

* AmbiguousDisorder: Granny Juju. She isn't very bright most of the time and has a short attention span. Due to EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, "Jornal do Quintal" amplified this even more, with her not being even able to speak actual sentences.

* TeensAreShort: Inverted in Season 1, where preteens such as Jorel were as tall as the adults or Nico, who's 17.

* FriendlessBackground: While every other member of the family has a group of friends[[note]]Interestingly, Granny
Gigi and Danuza appear to share many of the same friends[[/note]], Granny Juju's only real friends who appear are her garden's vegetables and fruits (which were implied to be only imaginary friends in their first appearance). She used to date Clown Venceslau, but neither of them remember each other anymore.

* MsFanservice: Lara's adult form, having large hips, thick thighs, and an [[BareYourMidriff exposed midriff]], as well as her underwear appearing for a split second in some parts. Mrs. Danuza could qualify for this as well, as she has the two first traits.

* BareYourMidriff: In "Aterrorizante Vida Adulta", Jorel's brother, Lara and Marcinho become adults, but their clothes stay the same size which results in showing off their midriffs. Subverted by Marcinho, as he gets new clothes afterwards (which, after he becomes a kid again, ''do'' decrease in size to fit him).

''Jorel's Brother'' (''Irmão do Jorel'' in the original Portuguese) is a Brazilian animated series. Created by Juliano Enrico and produced by Copa Studio, it premiered on [[Creator/CartoonNetwork Cartoon Network Brazil]] in 2014, with a second season premiering in 2016, a third season premiering in 2018, and a fourth season premiering in 2021.

* FluffyTheTerrible: Literally. There's Fluffy, the Murderer Dolphin... [[spoiler: Who turns out to be a pony in disguise]].

She used to date Clown Venceslau, but neither of them remember each other anymore.

* TakeThat: Shostners&Shostners is a satire of polluting and greedy monopolies, owning almost everything on the show and having practices such as deforesting thousands of hectares under the pretense of building soccer camps to "motivate costumers into practicing exercises" and building cellphones that break on their own so people "won't have to break them by themselves". The company is also composed almost entirely of identical burocrats who rarely have a creative idea and only make reunions and have dinners all day.

* AcmeProducts: Shostners & Shostners seems to own almost every product in the show.

* SpoiledBrat: William Shostners, owner of Shostners & Shostners and classmate of Jorel's Brother. He's spoiled rotten due to having everything and owning a powerful company.

** Mr. Edson's backstory involves him fighting against the clowns' dictatorship in TheSixties, since it's an allegory for the UsefulNotes/BrazilianMilitaryRegime Brazilian Military Dictatorship]] which started in the same decade and ended in the early 80's, which supposedly should be when the series happens.

* BlindingBangs: Nico has long hair that's permanently covering up his eyes. They only are fully uncovered in the first episode, which reveals his eyes are actually beautiful.
