"I'm glad I'm the favorite!"
―Jose Gonzales

Jose Gonzales Jr. appears as a main recurring character in Sibling Rivalries.

He is the younger brother of main antagonist Joel Gonzales. In his first appearance, Jose claims that he is the "favorite" between their parents, with Joel's bitterness being a possible reason as to why he became an antagonist. Joel and Jose are frequently depicted with a frenemy-like relationship.

Description[]

In 2011, Joel was the backup wide reciever for the Vancouver Vultures, but never needed to play due to the main WR Jason Parker being so successful. However, when Jason is injured, Jose takes his place but apparently stinks.

Although Joel betrayed the McReary family in the main series, Jose does not approve of any of his evilness, and tells him from time to time that he should actually respect them. Despite Joel's hatred toward them, Jose remains friends with them, and he still hangs out with them, as he attends their New Years party, and many more. Jose even votes for Packie as school president of Wisconsin Elementary School in Patrick McReary: School President, much to Joel's annoyance, since Jose was supposed to vote for him instead. 

Despite their ups and downs, Joel says he still loves Jose with all of his heart, and will protect him no matter what, even though Jose constantly annoys him, and refuses to help Joel with his evil schemes against the McReary siblings.

Trivia[]

  • Jose was created to resemble Dimitri Rascalov.
  • Jose Gonzales is one of the author's favorite non-McReary/Wilson character of the series, alongside Joel, Jason Parker, and Steve Madison.
  • Jose's nickname was supposed to be "Little Jose", but it had only been used once in the series, by Joel in his debut appearance.
  • In his first appearance, Jose had a small villain role, but in his appearances after, his character was changed from an antagonist to a good character. Jose shows distaste for evil, and sides with the McReary siblings whenever Joel attempts a scheme. Although Jose and Packie always bust Joel, Jose still shows love to his big brother, and hopes that Joel loves him too. This is shown more in the comics from mid-Season 4.
  • The only comics that Jose appears without his brother are "The McRearys' Halloween Special!" (although it was only a Halloween decoration and wasn't actually him), "Happy New Year!", "Field Trip Gone Wrong!", "House Party", "Wouldn't It Be Nice?", "Straight Outta Green Bay", "Uncle Cameron Moves In", "The Adventures of Brees Fan and Kin Packie", "Living La Vida Familia", "Bury the Hatchet", and "Talk of the Town".
  • Jose is a Junior (he was named after his father), which is an odd but not impossible case where a child that wasn't the firstborn takes the name of their father.
  • Jose and Steve Madison are the only non main cast members to appear in every comic of a season, with Jose appearing in all Season 5 and 9 comics, and Steve appearing in all comics of a season since Season 7.
  • Revealed in "Opposite Day", Jose had a Rubix cube he named "Blocky" from back in 2011, which he thought he left at Jason Parker's house but Joel actually had it the entire time. Jose is so attached to the Rubix cube that it takes his mind off of everything else, and in the comic he completely ignored Joel's plan to enslave the McRearys and friends.
  • Jose was depicted to have a crush on Kate in very early comics, but this has long since been a discontinued running gag.
    • In his debut appearance, he told Kate he would free her from being captured by Joel if she gave him a kiss, resulting in her kicking him multiple times
    • In "The Curse of the Milderbeast", Kate was left alone in the wilderness and said "at least Jose Gonzales isn't here", when he suddenly appears out of nowhere saying "looking for me, sweetie! I sprayed on some of my brother's cologne just to impress you!", resulting in Kate knocking him out
    • In "The McRearys' Halloween Special!", Kate was not scared by Salvador Rosales' haunted house by any means, until she screamed at a life-sized statue of Jose, who she knew loved him in a creepy way
    • In "Happy New Year!", when Gerry says he considers Jose a family, Jose fainted at the idea of being in the same family as Kate (last comic to show him having a crush on Kate)
  • As mentioned in "Maureen Be Not Proud", Jose takes a culinary class at school. When the siblings' grandfather passed away in the comic, Jose gives Gerry a cupcake he made in class to cheer him up.
  • As confirmed in "The 100th Comic Spectacular!", Jose isn't actually wearing a tuxedo in any of his appearances, but rather a long-sleeve polo shirt with a design resembling a suit. In the original versions of some prequels, it would instead be a black polo shirt.
