4077-4078. Clevemire





Clevemire is the result of a mutation after the events of Y2K in "Da Boom" that joins Glenn Quagmire's upper body to Cleveland Brown's hips. They both argue about their name after Peter Griffin says hello to them as Clevemire. Quagmire however, thinks they should be called Quagland. They fight and eventually Lois stops them. Unfortunately Cleveland doesn't feel like making love to Loretta because of this.

Cleveland Brown is a character from the animated television series Family Guy, and its spin-off series The Cleveland Show. He is voiced by Mike Henry. In the first seven seasons of Family Guy, Brown is a frequently recurring character. As one of Peter Griffin's neighbors and friends, Cleveland is also one of the few recurring African American characters on the show. He was conceived during the seventh-inning stretch of a Cleveland Indians game. His established profession was that of a deli owner. In the earliest seasons of Family Guy, Cleveland frequently appeared alongside his wife Loretta Brown (voiced by Alex Borstein), until their divorce was portrayed in the Family Guy season 4 episode "The Cleveland–Loretta Quagmire". The pilot episode of The Cleveland Show depicts Cleveland's farewell to the familiar characters and settings of Family Guy. The Cleveland Show establishes its setting of Stoolbend, Virginia as Cleveland's childhood home town, and introduces a new family and set of characters supporting Cleveland as lead. Cleveland is usually depicted as exceedingly gentle, patient, and sweet, and only on rare occasions he has been known to lose his temper and resort to violence. However, Cleveland gets visibly annoyed with racist behavior. He often acts as the voice of caution when other characters hatch harebrained schemes. Cleveland's speech is slow, almost elongated. Various flashbacks give conflicting histories of his speech patterns. In the episode "Death Lives" Peter Griffin met Cleveland in the 1970s and he (Cleveland) was skinnier (and obviously younger), sporting an Afro, but still spoke in the slow manner that he is known for. Likewise, in the premiere of his spin-off, it is revealed that Cleveland talked in a slow manner when he was in high school. In the fourth season episode "Blind Ambition", an out-of-continuity flashback depicts Cleveland as a fast-talking auctioneer when a totem pole falls over onto Cleveland's head, resulting in a slower state of speech. One of the running gags throughout the series is that Peter's shenanigans frequently destroy the front wall of Cleveland's house, revealing him in the bathtub. He then exclaims: "What the hell?! No, no, no, no, no, NO!" as the upstairs floor tilts and the tub crashes to the ground. In the pilot of his spin-off, this gag was the last straw that convinced Cleveland to leave Quahog. However, even several states away, the Griffins' antics are still seen to cause this event, such as when debris from the missile that Brian, Stewie, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase destroy happens to fall right on Cleveland's new house in the episode "Spies Reminiscent of Us" (Due to the unfamiliarity of the joke to the characters of The Cleveland Show, Cleveland's neighbor Tim the Bear appeared and said "I don't get it"). In "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag", Cleveland's old, and now unoccupied house is destroyed when Peter watches the movie Road House and beats up Brian, which results in a car crashing into the house, and the empty bathtub crashes to the ground. Afterward, Peter says "Oh, that's right. Cleveland moved." In the Cleveland Show episode "Gone With the Wind", the same running gag affects his former wife Loretta Brown, and she winds up dead after breaking her neck on the ground. In Something, Something, Dark Side, this gag is parodied when R2-D2 (played by Cleveland) slips off Luke's (Chris Griffin) X-Wing ship and falls into the swamp after they crash land on Dagobah. Cleveland's bathtub accidents have been caused by Peter's giraffe stumbling backwards into his house, the flying missile as stated above, Peter and Lois trying to move their mentally retarded horse by driving into it, missing, and driving into his house, and other accidents. Cleveland sometimes will show some sexual deviance or arousal towards attractive women. This is shown in the episode Petarded, when Peter brings 7 prostitutes into his house to get back custody of his kids and prove to child services that Cleveland is an unfit father. Cleveland responds, "Peter! You and 5 of those prostitutes get out!". In the Family Guy episode Love Blactually, it is suggested that he may have contracted genital warts, by having sex with a woman that Brian was previously involved with. He also claims to find power sexy and says that if he could date any woman other than his wife, it would be Margaret Thatcher. In an episode of The Cleveland Show he claims to have slept with six women.

Glenn Quagmire, often referred to as just Quagmire, is a character from the animated television series Family Guy. Quagmire is a neighbor and friend of the Griffin family and is best known for his hypersexuality.Creator and voice actor Seth MacFarlane describes Quagmire as "an appalling human being who is still caught in the rat-pack era" based on anachronistic 1950s party-animal clichés. His neighbor and friend Peter Griffin describes him as a "heartless sex hound" and refers to him as "a rapist" in The Cleveland Show. Quagmire is a commercial airline pilot. The name Quagmire was chosen by a college acquaintance of MacFarlane's; the word quagmire refers to both a soft soil that yields easily (such as quicksand), and a situation that is difficult to get out of. The title of the infidelity-themed episode "The Cleveland–Loretta Quagmire" plays on the second meaning. MacFarlane came up with Quagmire's voice after listening to fast-talking radio jockeys from the 1950s era, describing the character as a "50s radio guy on coke." The "giggity" phrase was inspired by Steve Marmel's Jerry Lewis impression. Quagmire's home follows the same retro theme, decked out in a style reminiscent of the swinging party set of the 1950s and '60s; nearly every part of the house has a discreetly hidden bed. It has been revealed in some episodes that Quagmire has a foot fetish. Quagmire drives a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, which Peter Griffin later destroys in "Airport '07" after he accidentally reverses his pickup truck into it. In a DVD bonus feature, MacFarlane singled out a line in "Love Thy Trophy", in which Quagmire answers a one-night stand's question about his job with the words, "I have a question for you, too. Why are you still here?" as the moment where the character's over-sexed personality was crystallized. In "The Cleveland–Loretta Quagmire", Quagmire has sex with Cleveland Brown's wife, Loretta, which ends their marriage; and in "Jerome Is the New Black", he says he despises the Griffin family dog, Brian, igniting a mutual animosity. In "Jerome Is the New Black" and "Tiegs for Two", it is revealed that the reason for Quagmire's sex addiction towards women is due to a certain mishap of a relationship with actress Cheryl Tiegs during the 1980s, and that he has been taking it out on other women to 'fill in the hole' which Tiegs has left for him, considering the fact that Tiegs was one of the few women that Quagmire genuinely cared for besides his sister Brenda. Brian would later date Tiegs to spite Quagmire after his antics caused one of Brian's new girlfriends to leave him, prompting Quagmire to date Brian's former girlfriend Jillian Russell, which then leads to a fight between both characters and causing both Tiegs and Jillian to dump them in anger, much to both Brian and Quagmire's discontent.
