Cleveland Strip Clubs: Sundays With Seth: Christmas and the Rapture
Maybe because I’m used to how much can get packed into an episode of Family Guy or American Dad, but “A Cleveland Brown Christmas” felt a little light to me. Or maybe it’s just because I wanted to see some of those traditional holiday moments, like the family sitting around the dinner table for a Christmas meal. At least we got a dejected Rallo opening the slinky he wanted before Cleveland-Santa crushed his spirits.
In true Cleveland fashion, this episode was framed a lot like those classic family sitcoms of yesteryear, but with much more crass and disturbing undertones. Cleveland’s flashback to his Christmas at Herbert’s house (from Family Guy) was pretty high on the creepy scale, but so was his bizarre rubbing of Cleveland, Jr.’s face. Not to mention the trip to the strip club.
But that was nothing compared to the trip to the strip club that led to Mr. Pewterschmidt’s heart attack. Talk about graphic animation!
