| fullname = Cleveland Orenthal Brown, Jr. | nickname = Junior | spouse = Cecilia | family = }} Cleveland Orenthal Brown, Jr. is a character in the animated television series ''Family Guy'', and its spin-off series ''The Cleveland Show''.〔''Family Guy'' episode "Love Thy Trophy," written by Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, directed by Jack Dyer. Aired March 14, 2000.〕 He is the son of Cleveland Brown and his late ex-wife Loretta. On ''Family Guy'', he was depicted as slim and hyperactive; however, on ''The Cleveland Show'' he is shown to have undergone a marked transformation, both in terms of a significant increase in weight and a newly subdued personality. He was voiced by Mike Henry in ''Family Guy'' and by Kevin Michael Richardson in ''The Cleveland Show''. At fourteen years old, Junior is the only child of Cleveland and Loretta Brown, stepson of Donna Tubbs, and the stepbrother of Roberta and Rallo Tubbs. Junior's most prominent character traits are his laziness, obesity, and low social intelligence (although there are occasional references to him being academically bright). Since his parents' divorce, Loretta gave custody of Cleveland, Jr. back to Cleveland and forced him to move. Thus, the pair left for California. However, en route, they decided to live in Stoolbend, Virginia instead, where Cleveland married Donna Tubbs, and Rallo and Roberta became his step-siblings. ==Role in ''The Cleveland Show''== Cleveland Jr. is a frequent target of weight related jokes from a variety of characters in the series, in particular Rallo, his step-brother. When Rallo met Cleveland, Jr. and his father he would often call them "fat". In the second episode, Cleveland, Jr. served as a door in the bathroom so that he could earn his classmates' respect, which angered Cleveland. He also exudes a nervous and overly sensitive nature, and seems to have a fear of toasters as the toaster in his house scares and taunts him (akin to Chris and the monkey in his closet). It is revealed in "Birth of a Salesman" that Cleveland, Jr. has repressed emotions from the divorce of his parents and has in fact never cried before. He has also revealed resentment towards his own mother, Loretta, for cheating on his father with Quagmire back in "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire". Feeling bad for the way they treated him, Roberta and Rallo help Cleveland, Jr. to express his sadness and at the same time the three of them accepted one another as family. In "The Hurricane!", Junior reveals that he had lost faith in God after learning from Loretta that he forgave for her adultery with Quagmire that lead to her divorcing Cleveland. He also states that he does not believe in God, although he claims he is not an atheist either, which he calls "another religion". However, in later episodes he explicitly identifies as an atheist without any such qualification. Yet in "Mr. & Mrs. Brown", he tells Rallo that he is reading ''Blubber'' by Judy Blume because they don't have the Quran, implying that he may be a Muslim. Junior's obesity and low self-esteem makes it difficult for him to find friends. In "Da Doggone Daddy-Daughter Dinner Dance", he seems to become friends with Derek, Laine, Reggie and Kyle, although this is solely due to his agreeing to act as a replacement bathroom door as, in later episodes, Derek, Laine and Reggie continue to bully Junior, often under the lead of Oliver Wilkerson. In "The One About Friends", Cleveland, Jr. creates an actual friendship with Lester Krinklesac's son, Ernie. He shared a kiss with Laura Davis at the Stoolbend Community Church's chastity ball. While Junior is not very active as he was in ''Family Guy'', he has other hobbies; he enjoys doing chores and playing the tuba. Derek nominated him for student-council president as a joke, but, after saving Oliver Wilkerson's life, he won. Additionally, while he may not know much when it comes to social situations, he is quite academically intelligent. A scene in a "A Rodent Like This" suggests that ''The Cleveland Show''s Junior has a dark double life. He reveals to Rallo that he is a secret agent who killed the original Cleveland, Jr. (as drawn in ''Family Guy'') in order to be placed in the Brown family. This gag is not followed up in later episodes, suggesting that it was either real or an elaborate prank on Rallo out of annoyance the latter was determined to find out what was in Jr.'s suitcase earlier in the episode that led to the top-secret organization. Cleveland Brown Jr. is married to Cecilia, as shown in "Y Tu Junior También", to prevent her deportation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cleveland Brown, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
