Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Everybody Hates Chris (2005-2009) is an American sitcom that is loosely based on the life of Chris Rock. Set in the 1980s, it revolves around the home and school life of Chris, featuring his easygoing, although money worrying, father Julius, sassy, if somewhat overreacting, mother Rochelle, younger brother Drew (who gets all the girls Chris can't), and "daddy's girl" sister Tonya. It also features the equally, if not more, hapless Greg, Chris's best friend and confidant from school. The series is also narrated by the humorous Rock looking back at his younger self, typically saying the opposite of what the younger Chris thinks.Chris and his family live in Bedford-Stuyvesant, colloquially known as Bed-Stuy, primarily a black and Puerto Rican residence. It is home to many comedic recurring characters, including the aptly-named black market dealer Risky, Jerome (who always asks "the little dude from across the street" (Chris) to let him "hold a dollar"), "Doc", owner of the local grocery store, and Mr. Omar, a womanizing funeral director and later tenant to Julius and Rochelle.Chris attends Corleone Junior High, and later Tattaglia High School, where he experiences racism from students and staff alike as the only black student in the school. His friend Greg is also a target of bullying, though to a far lesser degree. Joey Caruso is the racist school bully who is, ironically, obese and short like some of his victims. Ms. Morello, his naive teacher who's attracted to black men, unintentionally makes racist remarks to Chris, who forces himself to ignore them or accept them as innocuous, while Rock comments on them. Rock later makes a cameo as Chris's guidance counselor.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Oh yeah and if you haven't guessed, the title is a joke on Everybody Loves Raymond. | |

Accidental Athlete: Chris is recruited by the basketball coach who sees Chris shooting a wad of a paper into a trash can. Alongside the fact that Chris must be able to play basketball, he has Chris join the team. This is subverted when Chris fails horribly at the sport. | |

The Ace: Drew is a very odd example in that he is Chris' younger brother but is still the ace. He's a ladies man, learns martial arts by just watching TV, and otherwise all-around cool guy, something Chris just can't compete with. | |

The '80s: Averts the 1970s even though in real life, Chris Rock turned 13 in 1978; he has said that if he set the show in the '70s, everyone would have to wear afros and disco suits. | |
