It's the Great Pancake, Cleveland Brown

[1] The episode was written by Aseem Batra and directed by series regular Ron Rubio before the conclusion of the second production season.

He puts on his pancake costume and goes out, only for a gang of popular bullies from his school led by football team captain, Oliver Wilkerson, to egg him and vandalize the outside of the Browns' house and Halloween decorations.

When Roberta announces she is attending Oliver Wilkerson's party, Junior goes, too in an effort to launch his new personality as a cool kid.

Despite being up against 60 Minutes and the opening kickoff of Sunday Night Football, the episode received a season's high mark of 3.1 rating in the 18–49 demographic,[2] placing it 3rd in its time slot and 3rd in the FOX animation sequence with slightly higher viewership than the American Dad!

[2] [4] TV Squad's Jason Hughs imagined young Seth McFarland "...wanting to dress up for Halloween but being told by his parents that he's too old and he'll get made fun of" and "...getting bullied by the bigger kids and being robbed of his candy."

so the episode has Cleveland Jr. getting picked on for being "...too young and too old for trick-or-treating" while later joining his father and cohorts in bullying smaller kids and throwing eggs at Oliver.

Jason Hughes loved the punchline to the egg throwing when Cleveland tells Jr that "...he was on his own for the repercussions of their actions.".

Club liked how consistent Cleveland Jr. is during the life of the series but gave the episode a 'C', saying: "...focusing the show's Halloween episode on the idea that Cleveland, Jr., was at that awkward age between being young enough to go trick or treating and old enough to dress up for Halloween parties was a good choice.

[...] the rest of the episode was [...] a King of the Hill-esque story about how Cleveland doesn't really understand his son."
