It's really great, just the sheer irony of the 2 characters that Nile Boogie mentioned makes it worth and award.
Post by: Requiem on May 07, 2006, 08:24:23 PM
That's my favorite aspect of the show. The irony. The irony between Huey and Riley. The irony between Unlce Ruckus and GrandDad.
In the end, it always cracks me up.

great show.
oh and samuel l jackson playing a white guy is classic, charlie murphy even better because he has such a strong voice. its the equivelent of james earl jones playing vader (when you finally get to see him without the mask/helmet)!!

You can't watch part of an episode. To enjoy it, you must watch the entire thing.
It's just like a comic strip, you must read the whole thing to enjoy it.

You really shouldn't use either of those words in the forums, as they have a tendency to get you banned. Not to mention swearing in your sig.

I never read the comic strip regularly (because I've never read the newspaper regularly), so I can't really compare the show to the strip...though I'll agree the show is somewhat hit-or-miss. There tends to be at least one great joke in every episode, though, which makes up for it.

About my previous persona's comment: that was just a quote from Riley, who is a main character of the show. He's says that all the time, and if you had watched the show you would have realized that. No need to throw a hissy-fit.
Anyway to the real post:
BOONDOCKS SEASON 2 PREMIERES OCT. 8
You can watch an explicit trailer here.

My main issue is that the characters are so dysfunctional that its hard to like them and Boondocks being a character heavy show it makes it less fun. I know that the point of the show is to make political commentary on society but it doesn't mean that ALL characters must be that way.
The stories themselves are quite frustrating and hard to enjoy sometimes.
So I won't be looking forward to the second season. If its your thing go ahead.

I laugh at all of Uncle Ruckus's racist comments ("Don't trust them new niggas over there; spreading their nigga essence in the air). I laugh at Riley when he acts gansta (I was like "blick-caaow! blick-caaow!" I was SOOOO gansta!). I laugh at Grand-dad when he draws his belt. I rarely laugh at Huey, but he is suppose to be the really smart one. He's also suppose to be the really radical one, with his crazy ass conspiracy theories (and that's when I usually laugh). I do remember one funny episode where Huey records himself watching nothing but black television, and by the end of it he's a dumbass.

I agree, and South Park has the same problems. Its so bad sometimes that it led me to believe something; fictional characters should stay fictional, as in they shouldn't be a vessel for the creator's ego.
At times, it felt like Matt Stone and Trey Parker were the ones speaking, not Stan, Cartman or Kyle. I know that writers love to put themselves inside of one of their creators, but come on! It sometimes looks like a cheap way to stroke your ego and say that its vital for the story.
This happened a lot in the Boondocks and thus why I stopped watching all together.

The cartoon wars episodes were pretty preachy, and you can just tell that was Matt and Tre getting it off their chest that they despise family guy, but then they acknowledge the fact that they get "preachy and up its own as$ with messages" so i thought it balanced those episodes out fairly well. Then theres episodes like "Stupid Spoiled Whore" where they just have to take 5 minutes out of the episode just to give a morale lecture at the end when they could of just been making more jokes and hinting at the morale lectures.
Then there are times when Matt and Tre speak thru their characters in a positive way, mainly the episode when they kill off Chef. The scene where the town is mourning Chef and Kyle makes his speech is pretty touching. The message there was for all the fans that felt betrayed at Isaac Hayes leaving the show, telling them not to blame him for leaving and just remember the good things he brought to the show. I'm sure many die hard south park fans were mad at that bit of news but Matt and Tre made their voices heard, thru Kyle, that they loved Isaac and respected his decision for leaving the show, even if they thought personally that it was for the wrong reason. Most importantly they wanted the fans to know, and respect, that too.

It's not like the show is nothing but rants about views they disagree with (and by the way, im not saying thats what you think), its still funny and most of the time its done in a way to disguise the preachiness. Most of the time.

Yeah, I forgot that sometimes they are being honest and fair to other views. And I agree that the Chef speech was a touching and emotional one.
At the very least, the characters are well aware of what they are preaching and learn something. The Boondocks just preaches and preaches and the characters don't either become better persons or learn anything.

1. i havent watched the show enough
2. i wouldnt care if it as long as it was entertaining.
last episode i saw was when the younger brother, i get their names mixed up, is put in art classes by a bob ross look-alike and ends up graffiti-tagging houses as his form of expression (with the help of the art instructor). Some viewed it as vandilism while others saw the art in it. His grandad was one of the poeple that didnt see the art in it, so to reach out to him he (the younger brother) spray painted a portrait of his grandad an his wife (on their wedding day i think) on their own house, never taking credit for it. Needless to say his grandad was touched and finally saw it as art and not vandalism.
that was a good episode.
Post by: Stogi on September 30, 2007, 06:08:01 PM
That episode is one of my favorites.

Thats why I love South Park. I find it funny and I enjoy what they say at the ends of the episodes. Must be cause I agree with them... It's my favorite cartoon on tv followed by Futurama and Family Guy.
The only time I watched the Boondocks was a preview, I never watched it after that. haha
Post by: nickmitch on October 07, 2007, 04:51:40 PM
Also, South Park's end of episode "You know, I learned something today"s were better. But the show describes itself best when it says "up it's own ass with morals." It's still funny, and this season is shaping up to be another good one.

when they call Paris Hilton a stupid spoiled whore, its not marked behind symbolism and metaphors, they just come out and say “paris is a stupid spoiled whore (that coughs up jizz)”

Thats cool, it's just a differences of tastes.
I watched the season premiere of this show, not bad. Some funny parts, and I enjoy the character Huey.

That episode was great! I saw it the first time and I thought it was simply "OK." But after watching it again, that episode is classic Boondocks
!The same thing could be said about the two new South Park episodes.
Post by: EasyCure on October 12, 2007, 02:59:48 PM
"HELLOOO HELLOOOOO. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!"
i hope this isnt the last time they show someone giving someone "biddy" either, that was too funny.
Post by: Stogi on October 14, 2007, 06:39:35 PM
Everybody hates Usher, so it was great to see him get bitched slapped! Also, the return of "A Pimp Named Slick-Back" was f*cking priceless. I loved the way he reasoned with Tom.
My only complaint might be that the song parody was a bit too long.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 14, 2007, 06:58:55 PM
edit nvrmnd found it
Tom, Sarah & Usher
Some choice quotes from the Episode:
During the Music video scene: "Caaar!!!!"
------------
A Pimp Named Slickback: "You are suffering from Chronic Bitch Dependancy"
"I know know where all my bitches are at, thank you very much"
*calls a number on his phone*(Bitch 242)
"Bitch where you at?"
Bitch 242: " I'm out here getting your money"
"Thats what the hell I thought, thank you Grandma"
p.s. if the video at the link above is loading slow, just move your mouse around and it will start to load really fast.

Point n' case: Attack of the Killer Kung fu Wolf Bitch
If you don't laugh at this episode, then boondocks isn't for you.
Also, if you go to adult swim right now and check the video section, you can watch the newest episode "Ballin'". That episode is hilarious as well, I had to watch it again within the same day because it was so damn funny.

Line 1: "First of all, if a woman is over 35 years old and she ain't married, she must be nuttier than squirrel sh!t."
Line 2: "She couldn't look that good; she was black. But I guess if you put lipstick and a wig on a monkey, it could look good too. heh heh...heh heh, a monkey with lipstick and a wig."
