He's Bla-ack! is the sixteenth episode of the eleventh season of Family Guy. It's the two hundred and sixty-second episode overall.

Synopsis[]

Cleveland and his family return to Quahog. Now, Cleveland has to find a new job, Donna has to fix up the house, Junior has to adjust to being bullied at James Woods High, Roberta has to become popular and stay that way, and Rallo has to adjust to Stewie being cooler than him.

Plot[]

Cleveland comes back to Quahog and his bar buddies are rather indifferent to his return. They all shun him for how bad his show was.

Now that Cleveland's back, he has to find a new job, but that's not easy for a black man. To be honest, he doesn't even have the motivation, because he misses Stoolbend so much. The bar buddies make him feel more at home by dressing crap up like Stoolbend and being annoying. This makes Cleveland realize how ridiculous his wishes are. Eventually, he gets a job at a post office.

Junior's new school is James Woods High, but the kids there are super mean. They bully him and make fun of his weight. Roberta on the other hand, becomes instantly popular, fitting in with Connie's popular clique. They spend their time getting into trouble and bullying Meg. She was making good friends with them, but when it was shown that they started making fun of Cleveland Jr., she stopped being friends with them and joined Meg's group of ugly girls and underwent bullying, herself. Later, Connie apologized for how she acted and claimed that none of the members of their friend circle have siblings, so they haven't thought up or established the unspoken "sibling rule" that popular cults at school have. She then joined their group of friends again and went back to being a bully to everyone, except Junior.

Rallo is so used to being large and in charge, but at his new school, Stewie has that title.

At the end of the episode, Cleveland trash talks Family Guy, and to be honest, he's right.

[Cleveland enters]
Cleveland: Wassup fellas?! ["The Cleveland Show" theme music plays as Cleveland strikes a pose. There is an unsatisfying pause of silence from the guys]
Peter: ... Oh hey, Cleveland.
Joe: Yeah hey, Cleveland.
Quagmire: Hey, don't you have a show that you-Ohohoho that's right.
Cleveland: Yep, in case you haven't heard. I've been cancelled.
Peter: Ohoho! Yes it was, Cleveland! And now it's time to roast your ass! [calling out to the offscreen] Jerome!
[Cut to Jerome]
Jerome: I gotchya.
[Jerome dims the lights and some spotlight shine on the bar buddies, and a giant sign that says "Roast of The Cleveland Show" appears above them. Music plays, and the guys rip their clothes off, revealing fancy suits and ties underneath.]
Peter: Welcome all to the roast of The Cleveland Show. And our guest of honor is none other than, Cleveland Brown himself.
[Jerome picks up Cleveland and throws him into an armchair, preparing him for the roast]
Cleveland: Alright, alright, I knew this was comin', everybody gimme your best shot.
Peter: Alright, who's up first?
Quagmire: [to Peter] I'll go.
Peter: [offscreen] Alright.
Quagmire: [to Cleveland] [clears throat] Okay, um ... wow, are you serious? Where do I even begin? Y'know, it's not a good sign that this is the first time a lot of people are realizing you had a show!
Peter: Your show was basically a waste bin for jokes and storylines that were either too unfunny or too stupid for us. Too unfunny and stupid for Family Guy!
Joe: Your logo was stupid. It looked like a big purple penis and your ratings blew.
Cleveland: We did about the same as Bob's Burgers.
Quagmire: That's your bar?!
Joe: Oh my God!
Peter: Which, by the way, is doing better than you.
Cleveland: Ugh, okay. This is good. This is constructive criticism.
Peter: Oh, Waaaaay to late for constructive criticism, my friend.
Vinny: I oughtta tell everyone I never even knew your show and had nothing to do with it, because like that other dog, it is dead.
[The guys laugh]
Peter: Ho ho! Nice one Vinny!
Quagmire: Very good analogy.
Joe: Classic V-dog.
Cleveland: Alright, I'm sorry, hold on, who the hell is this guy? I don't remember him.
Peter: This, Cleveland, is Vinny Santiago Fillipeli. A.K.A., a likable character.
Cleveland: MAH SHOW HAD LIKABLE CHURRICTERS TOO!
Vinny: Oh, yeah, a hillbilly, a gynecologist, a gross midget dude, and a giant bear. Yeah, I can kinda see myself in a few of them.
Quagmire: And you know, the talking bear was so bad, Seth MacFarlane quit voicing him after Season 2.
Cleveland: It's hard to make a talkin' bear funny.
Quagmire: [laughs] It worked out okay in movie form.
Joe: What was supposed to be the show's audience anyway? Who did you make it for? Like, some black guy who's never met another black guy?
Vinny: You being the first black lead in adult animation is an insult to the African-American community. This coming from a racist.
Cleveland: [Sigh] ... You're right. You're all right. OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!! MY SHOW'S BEEN CANCELLED!!! AHOO HOO HOO! OOOOOH, IT HURTS SO BAAAAAAD!
Peter: Calm down, Cleveland. We've still got some more insults.
Cleveland: OH, MY! PLEASE MAKE 'EM STOP!
Joe: Alright, I think we should give this guy a break.
Vinny: Ol' puss has had enough.
Peter: Alright, Cleveland. You see how bad your show is, now?
Cleveland: Yeah. [sniff] I do.
Peter: Good, cuz you're not going anywhere now. From now on, you're back here with us.
Cleveland: Okay. So, now that I'm back, what are we gunna do?
Peter: Yeah, here's four seasons worth of DVDs of what we've been up to. Y'know, just so you're back up to speed. And I'll warn ya ahead of time, these have jokes in 'em.
Cleveland: I ... [Cleveland sniffs and his lips start to quiver] [about to cry] I don't have a DVD player. [bursting into tears, crying]
[Rallo meets Stewie]
Rallo: What's up, man?
Stewie: Yeah, yeah, 'sup. Keep walking ya Boondocks ripoff.
Lois: [outside the bathroom] Peter, what are you doing in there?
Peter: [as "Slow Ride" by Foghat begins playing] Nothing. [repeatedly flushes the toilet as the song plays]
Lois: Peter, you're wasting tons of water!
Peter: It's not a waste, and we need a faster toilet!
Chris: So, you're saying that Goofy and Pluto are both dogs of the same species?
Junior: Well, what I'm saying is, Goofy is a dog that can walk and talk like a human, right?
Chris: Yeah?
Junior: But then Pluto is also a dog, but he can't walk and talk. He just acts like a regular dog.
Chris: Oh, yeah.
Junior: Now what is up with that?
Chris: Eh, you know. Lazy writers, leaving inconsistencies in their show.
[Vinny and Rock Hudson are shown]
Vinny: Ay, nice to meet'chya. The name's Vinny. Who're you?
Rock Hudson: [bark] [bark]!
Vinny: Uh, 'scuse me?
Rock Hudson: [ruff]!
Vinny: I uh, ... I don't catch your drift.
Rock Hudson: [bark] [bark] [bark]!
Vinny: Riiiight ... Well, I gotta skedaddle. Catch ya later, ... inarticulate person.
Rock Hudson: [ruff] [ruff] [ruff]!
Quagmire: He don't have the guts to say anything back.
Cleveland: [angry] Actually, you know what? Yes I do! Boy I'm glad to be back in good ol' cracker-ass Quahog! You know, my show might not have been the best thing since sliced bread, but it actually tried to be something of itself. It offered a joke every now and then, not some shock value jokes, or some unnecessary cutaway gags or some fuckin' two minute long extended gag that didn't need to be that long. You may not have been enticed with the show, because it didn't include any of that. Sorry, we didn't have time, because of the damn plot! Something you guys completely forgot about. Oh, and we also used a certain element, not sure if you know, called continuity. It kept the show fresh, without us needing to make everyone into an unlikeable cruel asshole or kill off a main character, that by the way up to that point you've spent five to ten years portraying as a pretentious, whiny depressive douchbag, in some forced display of sadness and introduce a Taco Bell-lookin' dumbass to the home for the mere want of getting buzz. Also, did you know character development is supposed to make people better? Not more misogynistic, or hateful or more prone to rape? The only reason people prefer you over me is because you've been on longer. You have history. You're marketable. If you guys were cancelled like after your first or second run years ago, like you should have been with the current state of the show, we wouldn't have been overshadowed by you and we'd probably make a full series. But who gives a damn about us? Let's watch Peter Griffin, who's now a complete monstrous shadow of his former self, abuse his family for no reason other than "the funnies". Let's watch him shin his knee and make annoying noises for the five thousandth damn time! Let's watch him make five hundred rape jokes about random celebrities, to distract people from the show's complete lack of substance nowadays. Hooray! My God, you were doing so well before I left. Interesting. It's like the creativity of Family Guy left and went over to my show. Well maybe, just maybe, me and a few of my writers can pump even if it's just the tiniest bit of that original spark back into this show that's been lost for years, now that I've returned. So, yeah. I guess I'm doing you guys a favor. Great to be back, you fucking dickheads.
[Cleveland leaves and there's a long pause]
Quagmire: See, if I had the spin-off-
Peter: Shut up, Quagmire.
