Cleveland Brown (Family Guy; The Cleveland Show, seasons 2-4)

Cleveland Orenthal Brown Sr. is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy, and its spin-off series, The Cleveland Show.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He’s a very caring father to Rallo, Cleveland Jr. and well-meaning husband to Donna as it truly seems that Cleveland is in a relationship he can handle, unlike Lorretta and Cleveland is always going to acknowledge whenever he is in the wrong for his actions.
 * 2) Speaking of Donna, both she and Cleveland have a wonderful relationship as unlike Peter and Lois or Stan and Francine's relationship, despite having a few hiccups, Cleveland and Donna truly love each other at the end of the day.
 * 3) He has shown to be great friends towards Peter, Quagmire, Joe, Lester, Tim, Terry and Holt.
 * 4) He has many, MANY funny moments such as his iconic running gag of his house being destroyed with Peter's shenanigans and causing his iconic internet memes. Not only that but he has spawned many hilarious memes, a good example is the “Oh That's Nasty" and No No Noooo....” meme.
 * 5) His slow talking attitude can be really hilarious and is very iconic, sadly, this was the case in Seasons 1-7 as since his spin-off series, he longer has that.
 * 6) He also has shown to be smart and reasonable out of the 4 characters in the bar as he is seen questioning the other's decisions.
 * 7) He is amazingly, memorably, brilliantly, and hilariously voiced by Mike Henry in a slow yet iconic voice and his iconic laugh that Henry provides is nothing short of amazing. Even his his upcoming new voice actor, Arif Zahir, should do great job voicing him.
 * 8) He became decent in Seasons 2-4 of his spin-off and then fully redeemed himself when he returned to Family Guy and earned his original personality back, unlike other characters in Modern Family Guy.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He became badly flanderized in his own Spin-off during the first season as he acted more like Peter Griffin. Thankfully, as mentioned above, he did improve in Seasons 2-4, and he redeems himself when he returned to Family Guy.
 * 2) In June 2020, the protests of George Floyd pressured Mike Henry to step down from voicing Cleveland (Fortunately, his new voice actor Arif Zahir does a great job at voicing him as mentioned above).
 * 3) Even before his spin-off, he has his share of unlikable moments such as the time he nearly tried to kill Quagmire, and when he stole Brian Griffin's girlfriend away from him.
