Lester Krinklesac made his first appearance in the pilot episode of The Cleveland Show, where he fired a warning shot at Cleveland and Junior, after seeing them go into Donna's house. In shock, Cleveland and Junior turned to see Lester standing there, in his redneck front yard, holding a rifle in his hands, warning Donna that a couple of "blackfellas" were following her home, before remembering the fact that she too was also black. This rather unorthodox encounter turned into Lester's greeting with Cleveland. Lester introduced himself to Cleveland as the neighbor who lives across the street from Donna and Cleveland took the exhibition of his blatant racism as a sign that he's back in the South again.
Personality & Crimes[]
Lester is a repulsive, poorly groomed, redneck hillbilly. He has long, dark blond shoulder-length hair, and a big mustache. He has missing teeth and a large, protruding beer belly. He wears a dirty white wifebeater as an undershirt, under a torn-up cowboy jean jacket. Just above his wifebeater collar are a trio of unkempt and unshaven chest hairs. He wears ragged blue jeans, held up with a brown belt, and also has black shoes with gray outsoles. Lester is basically the embodiment of the epitome of racism & xenophobia. Despite one of his friends being black, Cleveland Brown, Lester still makes openly offensive and rather vituperative remarks about him on occasion. He has also been known to mistreat and victimize other black people as well as people of other races. He is even hinted to be a member of the KKK. Outside of villainy, Lester is a stupid, brainless unemployed, and an illiterate person without a job or scholarly education. He is unqualified for getting a real job, so he lives in a crappy, run-down house, with no electricity or running water. He hunts animals for food and lives among a bunch of rats and filthy rodents, with his fat wife and inbred son.
Trivia[]
