I know I am NOT the only 18 year old that still watches Cartoon Network and enjoys the shows. For whom ever has never seen this character before this is Jeff from Clarence a cartoon show on Cartoon Network. The show is about this boy named Clarence and all of his adventures he has with his two best friends Sumo and Jeff and the rest of the neighborhood. I have no idea how old they are, all I know is that they all go to elementary school.
Jeff is one of those kids that THINKS that he is all grown up and that he is better than everybody or at least better than Clarence and Sumo. He likes to have things his own way and he is at the top of his class. No denying that this kid is smart and he likes to keep everything neat and clean but, his actions and words make him come across as a jerk!
When I first saw the preview there was a clip where Clarence put his hand on Jeff's shoulder and then Jeff said, "Touching!" well he almost screamed it out. I laughed because I thought it was funny. Then I actually started watching the show.
My first hint that he is an jerk was in an (I don't remember the episode name or any of them) episode where Clarence made his own currency because the "Buddy Star System" in his class wasn't really pleasing to everyone because they felt that it was really difficult to earn at least one buddy star. Of course Jeff has the most buddy stars in the entire class. In one scene Jeff, Sumo and Clarence were walking down the hallway and everyone in the hallway was talking about how they could never get a buddy star and how it made them feel bad and one girl was asking her friend if she thinks that she has enough buddy stars to get into a good college (Wow! This opened my eyes on how the school system "rewards" kids and how it affects students but, that's another post for later). While all of this is going on Jeff is bragging about how many buddy stars he has. I was like um, ok, wtf but, whatever.
The biggest hint that I saw was an episode where all the student took a test to see what class they were going to be put in, an advance class or an not so advance class. Jeff being Jeff was sure that he was going to be put in the advance class but, when he got his test back it said that he wasn't placed in the advanced class (Shit I was shocked!). He asked the teacher if they could talk outside of the room and then he accused the teacher in the nicest way possible that she made a mistake. She of course said no because the test was graded by a machine or something then she asked him, "I thought you wanted to be with your friends?" Sumo and Clarence didn't make it to the advanced class. Jeff then shouted, "No! I don't want to be with them! I want my life to be better than their's!" I was so mad when he said that! How could you say something like that to people that call you their best friend?!?
Ever since then I've been seeing more acts like this from Jeff. I know you're probably thinking, "It's just a show. Why are you getting so worked up about it?" To me it shows how anyone can be a jerk no matter how young or old you are and there are some people in the world that will still love you.
All in all, I still really like this show because it's funny, light and Clarence is kind of stupid but it's all good lol!
I hope you enjoyed this post even though it wasn't what you were excepting at all. Also, I have a video out on my beauty channel and it's about hair care and something that i'm going through about it.
