Montclair Tubbs or better known as Rallo, is one of the deuteragonists of the animated sitcom The Cleveland Show.
He's the biological son of Donna Tubbs-Brown and her ex-husband, Robert Tubbs. He has one biological sister, Roberta. As a result of his mother marrying Cleveland, Rallo has gained Cleveland Brown Jr. as a step-brother. His best friends are Julius and Walt.
He was voiced by Mike Henry, who also voiced Oliver Wilkerson in the same series, as well Herbert the Pervert in Family Guy.
Biography[]
Despite his age, and the fact his father has been absent for most of his life, Rallo behaves much like Robert, behaving at times like a very articulate thug, and hormonally charged. He seems to get along fairly well with his mother Donna and has a normal love/hate relationship with Roberta, who at times seems to neglect him, yet at other times speaks to him as if an intellectual equal.
With the new arrivals of Cleveland and Cleveland Jr. Rallo has shown some initial reluctance to accept both into his life, actively insulting them and their weight. However, he warms up to Cleveland, who manages to teach him how to handle checking out the girls in his kindergarten class. When Cleveland inadvertently kills the family dog, Rallo is devastated by the loss, but comes to respect Cleveland for all the work he did in trying to 'find him' when Rallo thought the dog was merely missing, as well as the effort Cleveland put into trying to be a good parent to Roberta.
Despite being younger than his new step-brother Cleveland Jr. Rallo seems to take a more aggressive hand in their interaction, openly insulting Jr. However, this seems to just be Rallo's way of addressing people in general, and not done with any deep malice intended. In fact, their relationship is showing promise of being a decently caring one at this point. In "Birth of a Salesman" both Roberta and Rallo are disturbed by how clean and attentive Cleveland Jr. is in regards to Donna's parental requests. Initially annoyed at him making them look bad, they become sympathetic when they realize that he never accepted his parent's divorce, and has been doing all he can to avoid giving into his sorrow. Together Rallo and Roberta do all they can to help Cleveland Jr. let his feelings out and at the same time, they accept him as their brother.
He is very racist towards Jewish people, as discovered in "Ladies' Night", but later becomes racist towards white people after learning of the history of slavery in the United States. Rallo then go on rants to kill and harm white people, but changes his stance once he sees that the Krinklesac family are not racists and are not responsible for owning slaves. His favorite meal consists of fish sticks and tater tots, and, before his step-father moved in, he sat at the head of the dinner table.
Rallo also enjoys taking advantage of Junior's innocence and naivity. In "American Prankster" he goes on a bender pulling pranks on his friends and family and eventually goes too far when his pranks gets Junior expelled from school. Donna and Cleveland demand for him to apologize, but Rallo refuses thinking Junior should just learn to take a joke, which later leads to his commuppance in the third act where Rallo almost gets arrested only for it to be a prank conducted by Cleveland to make him learn a lesson.
Appearance[]
Rallo is a short African-American boy with a big puffy afro that's larger than his own head. He wears a light blue shirt, dark blue shorts, and red and white sneakers.
Personality[]
Rallo is a funny, charismatic, wise-cracking five-year-old Cassanova/prankster, with an unlimited supply of swag. He is the coolest kid in school, being well-adorned by all of his fellow students because of his hilarious pranks and entertaining antics. Rallo is also a real stud, having gotten numerous girlfriends for himself, throughout the series and treating girls in a really suave and chauvinistic manner. Rallo enjoys pulling pranks and annoying people to death as it's one of his favorite past times. Rallo is very in touch with his black culture and does things such as watching black TV shows and movies, play basketball, sing rap songs and idolize random celebrities and public figures for no reason other than them being black.
Very much, if not all of his aforementioned behavior comes from his father, Robert Tubbs, a man who Rallo respects and admires and sees as a hero, despite the fact that he's a sleazy scumbag who left him and his mother, on account of being a selfish, lazy moron.
Rallo usually has little to no respect for authority, with the only adult he truly respects being Robert and to a lesser extent, Donna. Rallo vehemently disrespects Cleveland, as he is not his biological father. Rallo does not respect Cleveland as his father or an authority figure and constantly tries to one-up him in terms of power and although most of the time, he ends up failing and making an ass of himself, he's occasionally managed to succeed and put Cleveland under his thumb, such as in "Fat and Wet", when Rallo realized that Cleveland let him drown and tried to hide it from Donna, so he blackmailed him into doing his bidding all week.
Despite usually being a bad seed, Rallo has proven on numerous occasions that he is capable of feeling guilt for his bad deeds and even honest empathy for people he hurts, such as in "Mr. & Mrs. Brown", when Rallo got Junior blamed for a candy bar he stole and had him grounded for it, only to later feel bad for what he did to Junior and then try to fix things by not only telling the truth to set Junior free but also getting himself into even bigger trouble so that he could suffer worse than Junior did.

- In "Birth of a Salesman", Rallo and Roberta were mad at Junior for doing his chores, while they refused, as this made them look bad by comparison. The two planned on beating him up with baseball bats but when he revealed to secretly be emotionally distraught by the divorce of his parents, they backed down.

Rallo was about to trick the family into smelling his squirting flower when Donna stopped him by punishing him. Rallo rebelled against this by proceeding to pull an even worse prank. Rallo flushed the toilet, while Junior was showering, making the water get so hot that Junior had to jump out of the shower.

Junior tries to resist by buying his own snacks but finds the trip is more difficult that he imagined. Junior gives in and soon finds he owes over $1300. Rallo suggests he quit eating but the food seems to find Junior no matter what, much to Rallo's sadistic amusement.

- In "Pins, Spins and Fins!", when Donna takes Rallo bowling and puts up rails to keep him from getting gutter balls, he lets his success go to his head as proven when he insults Donna and brags nonstop.
- In "A Rodent Like This", Rallo tortures Larry the Leopard with a whip and a bottomless chair after watching one too many James Bond movies.

Despite Choni clearly being in the wrong here, Junior threatened Rallo to undo what he did because Choni was connected to his girlfriend, Cecilia and he worried about her getting indirectly hurt, through her aunt's business going down under. Rallo was forced to call up the health department and trick them into thinking cockroaches were presentable food by cryogenically freezing one and eating it, claiming that this was one of the food truck's many unique menu options.
- In "Squirt's Honor", Rallo insults Stoolbend's Boy Scouts, the Freedom Squirts. After Donna forces Rallo to sign up to be a scout, Rallo uses his scout uniform and cuteness to peddle the candy for his own cash. When Junior sees what he has done, he assumes the cash is for the scouts while Rallo cackles from knowing better. Junior surprises Rallo by taking him to the charity concert that was promised for buying the candy while Rallo knows better and Junior soon finds out the truth. Junior surprisingly accepts the scam to Rallo's surprise to the point of quitting being a scout at the scout initiation and being a downer to everyone else. It isn't until Roberta calls him out on what he did that Rallo realizes that what he did was horrible.
- In "Grave Danger", Rallo pushed a kid over and took his basketball and also stole an iPhone from a store. However, this was all because his new gangster friends, Tyler, Randy, and Snoot were forcing him to, making Rallo an unwilling villain by proxy.
- In "Of Lice and Men", Rallo would bully kids at his school by giving them all nicknames. Some of the nicknames visibly offended the students such as naming an Asian kid "Rice Pee Pee" and more notably, naming Dudley "Boog-kkake". He would later get his comeuppance when his head would get shaved for a lice infection and he would have to go to school, showing off his peanut-shaped head, earning him the nickname "Mr. Peanut". Rallo would eventually learn his lesson and start referring to his former victim, turn oppressor, turn friend as "Dudley" again.
- In "Mr. & Mrs. Brown", Rallo stole a candy bar from a street vendor. When the candy bar fell out of his pocket Donna spotted it on the ground but didn't know whether it was him or Junior, who stole it. Donna grounded both of them until one of them fessed up, which meant that Junior had to be grounded for a long time for something Rallo did. Rallo refused to admit to what he did and even convinced Roberta into letting him free, meaning that Junior did more time than he did for a crime he didn't commit. Later, Rallo started to feel guilty about what he did to Junior so in order to clear his name, he told Donna the truth, on top of that, he got himself into even more trouble than before, just to make things even, by casually reciting to Donna a list of off-color terms for a woman's private areas.
- In the Family Guy episode, "Chris Has Got a Date, Date, Date, Date, Date", Cleveland disguised Rallo as a squirrel and instructed him to go into Lois' garden and steal her tomatoes so that he could get free ingredients to make into a bruschetta. Lois was still unaware of the fact that this was actually Rallo, as she vowed to kill the squirrel who's been eating her tomatoes. This also implies that Rallo's garden-robbing has been somewhat of a tradition, that's been going on for a while.
