comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Every once in awhile the Freemans will have a moment that demonstrate that deep down, they care about each other's well being. It's often one-sided and understated, but with the way characters usually act, it still says a lot.

No Celebrities Were Harmed
 The Boondocks / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: A lot of characters are parodies of other people from other media or even real life: Ed Wuncler I and his grandson Ed Wuncler III are parodies of Prescott Bush and his grandson George W. Bush. Ed III's best friend Gin Rummy is a parody of Donald Rumsfeld. Bushido Brown is based on Jim Kelly. Riley's art teacher is based on Bob Ross, the famously laid-back white artist with an afro, who loved to paint landscapes. Thugnificent is obviously based on Ludacris, with elements of Ice-T down to being from Georgia. Rollo Goodlove is a parody of Al Sharpton. BET CEO Deborah Leevil is a parody of the real CEO Debra L. Lee and Dr. Evil. BET President Wedgie Rudlin is an extremely unflattering parody of the real President Reginald Hudlin, who happens to have originally been an executive producer of The Boondocks. Dick O'Rushballs is a parody of Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. Sgt. Gutter is Soulja Boy. George Pistofferson, Rufus Crabmiser, and Esmeralda Gripenasty are based on JJ Evans, Fred Sanford, and Aunt Esther, respectively. Lamilton Taeshawn is based on a then 7-year-old Latarian Milton, who appeared in the news twice for taking a joyride in his grandma's car and beating on her. He's also based on another fictional evil child named Henry Evans. Lamilton's psychiatrist Dr. Doomis is based on Dr. Loomis. Winston Jerome is Tyler Perry with elements of David Koresh and Jim Jones. The Booty Warrior is a carbon copy of Fleece Johnson, a prisoner interviewed on an MSNBC documentary about prison life. Jack Flowers is based on Jack Bauer. Pretty Boy Flizzy is Chris Brown. Kardashia Kardashian.

In "The Fried Chicken Flu", Kernel's Fried Chicken, a KFC parody, does a food promotion to introduce a new fried chicken recipe. However, so many people come to try it, there are numerous long lines, people begin getting pissed about waiting so long, and worse several KFC restaurants run out of chicken. Then, Hilarity Ensues when people start rioting.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 The Boondocks / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Many episodes are this: "A Date with the Health Inspector" is a satirical allegory for the Invasion of Iraq. It even has Gin Rummy, a Donald Rumsfeld parody, restate the infamous "known unknowns" speech. "The Itis" shows the effects junk food, which is also a metaphor for drugs, has in poor neighborhoods. "The Block Is Hot" is about corporations using child labor and when they get caught, they suffer little to no repercussions. Huey is a parody of William Ayers in "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman", as both of them were used by Republicans to try to discredit Barack Obama. The intro to "The Red Ball" satirizes American debt to the Chinese. "The Fundraiser" is actually about drug dealing, although this one is much less subtle than the others, and references Scarface heavily. "Good Times" and "Freedomland" overtly compares the recession to slavery.

Ripped from the Headlines
 The Boondocks / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: The plot of "The S-Word" is based on an actual news piece about a black student and his white teacher exchanging the N-word. The antagonist of "Smokin' with Cigarettes", Lamilton Taeshawn, is a parody of Latarian Milton, a little boy who drove his grandma's car and shortly afterward, attacked her for not buying him chicken wings. The title character from "A Date with the Booty Warrior" is based on Fleece Johnson, a prisoner who also engaged in rape and sodomy.

Your Mom: Among the many insults Stinkmeaner spews during his "exorcism" is, "Y'all ain't shit!! Your MOMMAS ain't shit!" This is how Riley gets under Cindy's skin during their Trash Talk duel in the middle of a basketball game. Sgt. Gutter actually rings Thugnificent's mom live on air so she can tell him off for his bad language during their rap feud.

Ming Long-dou is a preteen example, who is surprisingly deadly with her kickball skills. It should be noted that the kickball game is played out like a brutal brawl with lots of beatings and fighting.

Bilingual Backfire: In "The Red Ball", Ming tells Huey a sob story about how her whole team will be sent to a brutal prison camp if they lose the kickball game. Huey believes her and starts throwing the game until another two players gloat in Mandarin about how the "stupid idiot" believed her, while Ming laughs at him from the sidelines. Huey responds, also in Mandarin, that he does not like being laughed at, giving them a brief moment to realize what's going on before he knocks the both of them out with a kickball to the face.

The Worf Effect
 The Boondocks / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Huey is supposed to be a master of kung fu, but he never won a fight, not counting Martial Arts Kickball. The only people he seems to be able to beat are his younger brother Riley and those few Mook guards in "... Or Die Tryin'". This is justified, as the only people who have beaten him are much older masters of kung fu, who take him seriously. Bushido Brown is killed thanks to this.

Apathetic Citizens: Whenever Ed III and Gin Rummy try holding a place up or just generally wave guns around, most people barely react.

 The Boondocks / int_285060c1
comment
Huey is supposed to be a master of kung fu, but he never won a fight, not counting Martial Arts Kickball. The only people he seems to be able to beat are his younger brother Riley and those few Mook guards in "... Or Die Tryin'". This is justified, as the only people who have beaten him are much older masters of kung fu, who take him seriously.

Riley is more of an exaggeration of himself; he is even more "thug life" than he was in the comic strip, but in addition becomes a Small Name, Big Ego and loses much of his "clever but willfully Book Dumb" traits.

Gratuitous English
 The Boondocks / int_2e6a41e0
comment
Gratuitous English: A necessary instance of this happens in the Japanese dub: Since the use of the Japanese equivalent word for nigger and similar slurs is not allowed in both Japanese media and translations, the translators solves this problem by using the same words untranslated from English and sometimes from other languages like Spanish, like the Señor Piñata insult, who was also untranslated in that dub.note Oddly enough, because Señor Piñata could be translated easily to Japanese without issues, since it's not a slur. This is not exclusive for insults and slurs: Some names and sometimes even honorifics remains untranslated: Both A Pimp Named Slickbacknote ã‚¢ãƒ»ãƒ”ンプ・ãƒ�ームド・スリックãƒ�ック and Uncle Ruckus'snote ã‚¢ãƒ³ã‚¯ãƒ«ãƒ»ãƒ©ãƒƒã‚«ã‚¹ are the same in English in the Japanese version, albeit in his case, Uncle is his name, not a honorific.

Even Evil Has Standards: Riley may have a eye for causing trouble, but even he is disturbed by Lamilton's flat out sociopathy. When taken hostage during a Prison Riot, Uncle Ruckus asks the sexually deprived inmates (who all engage in some occasional Prison Rape) if they're going to rape the children. They respond "Hell no! Do we look like priests?!"note Actually Truthin Television. Most prisoners do not like child molesters/rapists, as they consider that crime to be completely despicable, even more so than theirs. If a known pedophile is sent to jail, there’s a good chance he’ll be dead within the week.

After the End: "The Fried Chicken Flu". It appears that most of the world is dead, society is breaking down, and the Freeman house may be the last safe place, all thanks to a mysterious virus caused by fried chicken. It turns out that the media blew things out of proportion. No one's actually dead and the "flu" is just salmonella. It's also shown that Ruckus and his group are the only ones dressed in that Mad Max gear, which Thugnificent points out.

Cluster F-Bomb: The whole series is a giant Cluster N-Bomb. According to this video, there are approximately (give or take) 1,298 uses of "nigga", "nigger", etc. There's lots of other profanity in this show, such as "fuck" and "shit", which are usually bleeped out on TV (but uncensored on DVD). Tom says "shit" repeatedly after his basketball team loses at the end of "Ballin'". Riley has a rather impressive Cluster F-Bomb to the British chocolate importer in "The Fundraiser".

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 The Boondocks / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Like the comic strip, this series is very much on the cynical side of the scale, perhaps even more so. Occasionally, it has an optimistic undertone (i.e., things are bad, but they can get better). "Return of the King" is an illustration of this, where Martin Luther King Jr.'s peaceful protesting, which proved to be hugely effective in the 1960s, is seen as weak-willed and un-American in the 21st century post-9/11.

Prodigal Family: In "The Color Ruckus", Uncle's nasty grandmother Nelly comes to Woodcrest to spend her final moments. She's followed by Uncle's abusive father Mister and his white supremacist mother Bunny. The only one Uncle tolerates is his mother —even though she filled his mind with lies about being a white man with a skin disease— and younger brothers. Nelly keeps berating her son Mister and, to a lesser extent, Uncle too. Mister keeps demeaning his son and occupying his shack even though he kicked Uncle out of the house for no reason when he was a kid. Finally, during Nelly's funeral, Mister tries to resume his favorite activity: hitting his son.

Actor Allusion
 The Boondocks / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: There are many references to John Witherspoon and Regina King's roles in Friday here and there. Heck, at on point, Granddad even references the climax of the film where Craig fought Deebo, only with him in Craig's role. Riley quickly calls him out on it that he just got it from the film. In "Smokin' with Cigarettes", Tom Kane voices a Dr. Loomis Expy. In Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, Kane filled in for Donald Pleasance during Dr. Loomis's monologue about Michael during the opening scene. Sarah's real voice actress, Jill Talley is married to a man named Tom in real life. Gin Rummy's appearances typically contain homages to Pulp Fiction, one of his actor Samuel L. Jackson's most famous films. These include quoting the "English, motherfucker, do you speak it?" speech in "A Date With The Health Inspector" and eating burgers while driving and having a Seinfeldian Conversation with Ed III at the beginning of "Let's Nab Oprah".

Character Development
 The Boondocks / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Tom. He starts out as a hypocrite and, for lack of a more poignant term, a pussy. His main fear was being anally raped in prison, and yet, as a prosecutor, he sent many young men to that same fate. He realizes his hypocrisy, and decides to become a defense attorney, and goes to therapy to get over his phobia. He does well, and decides to test himself by chaperoning a "scared stiff" program, where boys are shown around a prison to scare them straight. He freaks out and leaves them at the mercy of the rioting prisoners, then realizes what a horrible thing he did. While on the rescue mission, he is confronted by a naked prisoner in the shower, who attempts to rape him. Tom actually stands and fights against him, and comes out victorious. Uncle Ruckus. He starts as just a self-hating, bitter, black man who works 47 jobs and claims to have "re-vitiligo," a made up disease that makes him black. It is revealed in the episode "The Color Ruckus" that he hates black people because he was actually brought up in a black family in which his father and grandmother were terrible to him, and his mother, who was very nice to him, would teach him all about how great she thought white people were. He probably was not adopted and does not have re-vitiligo, even if he still thinks so. At the end of the episode, he decides that he shouldn't hate black people, but rather, feel sorry for them. This isn't much of an improvement, but it's probably better than hating them. However, this character development is thrown out the window by Season 4, as Ruckus is just as hateful as before. Riley. Even being a established main character, Season 1 only has three episodes focused on him. And only "Rilery Wuz Here" has a real conflict and development. Season 2, on the other hand, has half of the first ten episodes about him and his development as a person.

Conflict Ball: The "Nigga Moment" is essentially this In-Universe. It describes a moment when ignorance overwhelms the mind of an otherwise logical black man, causing him to act in an illogical, self-destructive manner, such as getting into a shootout over a guy brushing against their shoulder on the street. Its inverse is "Nigga Synthesis"; when willfully ignorant black men join together and bond over something trivial and/or stupid. The two are not mutually exclusive, as Applied Mathematics teaches us that a "Nigga Moment" + "Nigga Synthesis" = "Complete &$%^ing Disaster". The whole thing is an increasingly transparent allegory for gang behavior.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 The Boondocks / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Huey is established in the series as being well-trained in martial arts. However, the fact remains that he's still a 10-year-old boy, and he usually ends up losing to opponents that have more experience and training than him or in the case of Stinkmeaner, supernatural abilities. In "The Garden Party", while the Freemans attend a party full of rich white people, Huey attempts to tell "the truth" (Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11). However, no one believes him because he's just a kid, he has no solid evidence, and everything he says is just his own opinions; also, Huey and Robert believe that if he told people the "the truth", chaos would ensue among white people. That doesn't happen either; just because one person says something, especially when it's a conspiracy theorist's opinion, it doesn't mean that everyone is going to instantly believe said person. In "Ballin'", it not only references but also deconstructs the whole concept of The Mighty Ducks. What happens when you have a team that has little to no athletic talent? They ended up losing every game they've played in an embarrassing yet hilarious fashion, and the "miracle moment" is given to a team that is more polished athletically. Played straight in "Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy". The titular group fought and killed Bushido Brown, an already established badass, and after a failed attempt to make peace with them, the Freemans are about to be killed. How are these monsters stopped? The police are called, and the Hateocracy surrender without a fight. In "The Fried Chicken Flu", Kernel's Fried Chicken, a KFC parody, does a food promotion to introduce a new fried chicken recipe. However, so many people come to try it, there are numerous long lines, people begin getting pissed about waiting so long, and worse several KFC restaurants run out of chicken. Then, Hilarity Ensues when people start rioting. In "Early Bird Special", Granddad is initially optimistic about the idea of being a male escort, assuming he'll be up to his neck in horny ladies. However, he quickly discovers that his clients are primarily lonely middle aged women, looking for companionship rather than sex. As his "employers" point out, woman have no trouble finding men willing to sleep with them and wouldn't need to pay someone to do it.

Thelma. In all three versions of the Catcher Freeman story, she participated in a deadly slave revolt against Colonel Lynchwater; although in Robert and Ruckus' versions of the story, she was mostly a Damsel in Distress and a Femme Fatale, respectively. In the true and final version of the story, she was the rebelling slaves' leader, who actually fought a sword duel with Lynchwater.

Story Arc: A couple of subtle ones: One revolving around Granddad and Stinkmeaner. Another revolving around Riley and Gangstalicious. The most overt one is Huey becoming increasingly disillusioned that he can make a difference. By the end of Season 3, he seems to have given up hope on changing anything.

White Gangbangers
 The Boondocks / int_42b99897
comment
White Gangbangers: Ed III and Rummy, despite being affluent white men, think that they're black street gangsters. They commit petty crimes despite already having plenty of money. The antagonists of "The Fundraiser" are English (and later Italian-American) mobsters who want to control the chocolate industry (a not-so-subtle allegory for the illegal drug trade). Ed II combines the business tactics of his father Ed I with a penchant for street crimes like his son Ed III. He acts more like a mafioso than a wigger, though.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Huey, Riley, and Robert. Their family relationship is dysfunctional, but they do care about each other deep down. Uncle Ruckus is this occasionally, such as in "A Huey Freeman Christmas" and "The Color Ruckus". Pretty Boy Flizzy, although he hides it for his image.

Characterization Marches On
 The Boondocks / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: It happens in general in the series compared to the comic strip. The series is more social commentary than political, and thus focuses on the ways people can be ignorant. As a result, the characters are changed to reflect this: Granddad, who is in the comic strip a wise but weary man who just wants to enjoy his golden years, becomes self-centered, greedy, and obsessed with appearances. Riley is more of an exaggeration of himself; he is even more "thug life" than he was in the comic strip, but in addition becomes a Small Name, Big Ego and loses much of his "clever but willfully Book Dumb" traits. Huey becomes less extreme, less aggressively opinionated and becomes wiser; basically, his Jerk with a Heart of Gold activist traits are traded for amplifying his Only Sane Man traits. This, in turn, leads him to not quite need a foil to mellow him out and point out when he's being hypocritical, which resulted in Michael Caesar not needing to make an appearance. Nearly every character from the comic strip gets some kind of alteration: Tom's foppish traits become the entire basis for his character, as well as his marriage problems. Jazmine's problems with racial identity are downplayed in favor of her extreme naivete. But nobody gets this greater than Cindy McPhearson, who is a completely different character: she goes from being a racially ignorant ditz in the comic strip to being an even crazier version of Riley in the series.

The comic strip, and the TV series to a lesser extent, frequently took the opportunity to ruthlessly mock the Republican Party, and right-wingers in general. The characters representing them in-universe, such as the bigoted (and hypocritical) Uncle Ruckus, the paranoid gun nut Betty von Heusen, bigoted loser Dan Stucky, and the ruthless fat-cat capitalist Ed Wuncler I, are all consistently depicted as being unpleasant people. Not to mention, that the comic strip became notorious for its continuous bashing of President George W. Bush's foreign policies. The new comics released in 2019 used Ruckus as a tool for mocking Donald Trump.

Stop Being Stereotypical
 The Boondocks / int_4dc88e20
comment
Stop Being Stereotypical: Both this series and the comic strip make regular use of this. A regular moral and Central Theme of The Boondocks is how African-Americans are unjustly oppressed, right to be angry at systemic racism, and need to bring attention to such things as much as possible. At the same time, the comic and the show both criticize African-Americans who play into stereotypes, saying that they're only making things harder for everybody. The latter criticism is best seen in "The Return of the King" where Martin Luther King Jr. goes on a rant decrying the fact that the freedoms he fought so hard for are being taken for granted, even wasted, by the people on whose behalf he fought.

Downer Ending: "...Or Die Trying": The trod-upon movie theater employee Huey had talked into unionizing got the whole place shut down by the management and lost their jobs. "Attack of the Killer Kung-Fu Wolf Bitch": Poor Luna got a new lease on life after a tension-filled standoff with the Freemans, only to kill herself just a few minutes later after being egged on by her friend, who ironically is heard saying words of encouragement afterwards. "It's Goin' Down": Wuncler turns his usual Karma Houdini routine up to eleven and Huey, when encouraged by Agent Flowers that "They don't win until you give up", walks off as disillusioned as ever, echoing The White Shadow's line "You can't fight the future. Don't waste your life trying." "Good Times": Granddad's excessive debt forces him to sell the family to what is essentially slavery to Ed Wuncler II and Uncle Ruckus. Though, whether this sticks or not is debatable.

Jericho Freeman and his large family, who fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, decide to stay at Robert's house. However, they quickly take advantage of his hospitality by eating all the food, creating a huge mess in the house, refusing to work, and waiting on a welfare check to solve all of their problems. Jericho even lies about not receiving the check, and returns to New Orleans without repaying the debt.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The first season is noted to be much different that all that follow, especially in it's tone; the show is much more of a dramedy rather than an overall comedy with the occasional dramatic beat. Other things to note are Huey and Riley's voices being higher pitched (especially the latter's), and the musical score not carrying over; notice how Ruckus's Leitmotif doesn't play at all.

Serious Business: In "The Red Ball", Ed Wuncler I and a Chinese businessman bet the entire town over a game of kickball. Wuncler hires Blackwater mercenaries and Dominican children for his team, only for the former to bail out and the latter to be deported. The Chinese team includes a prodigy who was trained since birth just to play kickball. The school chocolate fundraisers. When Riley tries to sell chocolate bars for his own profit, he draws the attention of real gangsters who treat chocolate fundraising like drug trafficking. Up to and including using intimidation and violence against their competitors. Fried chicken. In Woodcrest and many other American cities, countless people wait through long lines and heavy traffic just to try out some new KFC. When the restaurants have shortages of chicken, people go nuts and start riots. And even after a mysterious food-borne disease causes millions to become ill, a lot of people still want to eat the fried chicken.

Meaningful Name: The Wunclers. As in, the Once-ler, the expansionist bigwig antagonist of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax. Uncle Ruckus. A reference to Uncle Tom, Amos Rucker, a slave who purportedly wanted to stay a slave after the Civil War, and Uncle Remus. Tom DuBois. Uncle Tom (again) and W.E.B. DuBois, founder of NAACP. Luna is quite lunatic. It also invokes the moon, and her fondness of wolves.

Gangbangers: Huey first illustrates the "Nigga Moment" by showing two gangsters shooting at each other, over the two bumping into each other in the street. In "The Story of Gangstalicious", Gangstalicious is being chased by a few gangsters who want him dead. The reason for their vendetta? Their leader was Gangstalicious' ex-boyfriend. Stinkmeaner illustrates "Nigga Moment + Nigga Synthesis = Complete Disaster" by showing the bloody aftermath of gang violence between Bloods and Crips.

Straw Character
 The Boondocks / int_722171e7
comment
Straw Character: The series is loaded with these on both sides of the aisle: invoked Huey is used to represent far-left radicals; he's been described variously as a socialist or black nationalist. Though it varies whether he's a strawman, or is actually making a good point. Tom and Sarah, though portrayed as decent people, are milquetoast establishment Strawman Democrats. Tom once tried to kidnap Ralph Nader for taking votes away from Al Gore, thus earning the title of "the first moderate liberal extremist". Uncle Ruckus is used to parody white nationalists, despite being black, and Tea Party Republicans. "Wingmen" featured Dewey Jenkins, a fake Muslim who writes bad poetry because he's "down with the struggle". Huey, an actual leftist radical, finds him disgraceful. Betty von Heusen is portrayed as an obsessed gun nut. Rollo Goodlove, an Expy of Al Sharpton, is a self-serving black liberal hypocrite who intentionally attaches himself to bogus "struggles" for publicity. Ann Coulter appears on TV as a massively hateful ranter, but it's just an act for publicity. She's not even a real conservative.

When taken hostage during a Prison Riot, Uncle Ruckus asks the sexually deprived inmates (who all engage in some occasional Prison Rape) if they're going to rape the children. They respond "Hell no! Do we look like priests?!"note Actually Truthin Television. Most prisoners do not like child molesters/rapists, as they consider that crime to be completely despicable, even more so than theirs. If a known pedophile is sent to jail, there’s a good chance he’ll be dead within the week.

Remember the New Guy?: Rollo Goodlove is an interesting example of this due to the episodes airing out of order. He first shows up in "The S-Word" where he's treated as an established character the Freemans have already met, while his actual debut was in the banned episode "The Hunger Strike". As such, American audiences never got a proper introduction to the character.

N-Word Privileges: Lampshaded, parodied and deconstructed in "The S-Word", when teacher Joe Petto refers to Riley as "nigga" in a ill-advised attempt to be friendly and this instead gets him into massive trouble, with Robert and Riley scheming to use this to sue the school. In one scene, Huey points out that his grandfather and brother's plan is hypocritical since they both use the word casually and constantly. In another, a shaken Mr. Petto complains to the principal that he only used the word because Riley constantly and casually uses it to refer to everyone around and even himself, culminating in a complaint that he never used the word before Riley showed up.

Laughably Evil: As this is a Black Comedy series, there's more than a fair share of funny villains here: Uncle Ruckus is a hardcore white supremacist who happens to be black. He usually appears Once an Episode to make outrageous comments. Colonel H. Stinkmeaner, an evil old man who likes to mess with other people for his own amusement. His personality and actions are so over-the-top that it's hard not to laugh along with him. Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy are a duo of Stupid Crooks who go around town robbing people, but most of the time they're too dim-witted to succeed with any of their crimes. Deborah Leevil is a hammy and card carrying supervillainess who who wants to destroy black people through the mind-rotting power of a certain TV channel.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Ruckus loves directing these to black people. In "The Trial of R. Kelly", Huey gives a scathing speech to the jury who acquitted R. Kelly. In "Return of the King", Martin Luther King Jr. gives an epic one to the African Americans who have embraced BET and nigga culture. In "The Color Ruckus", Ruckus' dad gives a scathing one to him. But Ruckus returns the favor later in the episode:

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When Uncle Ruckus came to the Freeman household to exorcise Tom, who is possessed by the spirit of Stinkmeaner, he used the following tools: a whip, a noose, a night stick, a branding iron and a job application. According to the self-hating Ruckus, these are the things that the black man fears the most. "She called me obsessed... disturbed... icky." Said by the obsessed counselor in "Smokin' with Cigarettes" A visual example in "The Color Ruckus", when Uncle Ruckus is telling the story of his childhood. When his father is throwing him out of the house: he steps on a rake, which hits him in the face and gives him his trademark bulging eye and broken teeth; he steps in a bear trap, giving him a limp; and he gets wet paint from the fence on his shirt. His mother cries it'll need a presoak to get out.

The Whitest Black Guy: Tom "acts" very "white" for a black man; he is an upper-middle-class suburbanite, and thus he doesn't speak with a ghetto accent. And of course, he's married to a white woman. Tom's daughter Jazmine is biracial with a mostly white appearance. As she's also part of the same "white" culture as Tom, she's confused by Huey's insistence that she's black. Like other BET executives, Wedgie Rudlin feels a lot of contempt for other black people. He also boasts about having a business degree from the WASP Harvard University, instead of "one of those historically black colleges". Uncle Ruckus, despite fitting into quite a lot of black stereotypes himself, also has some stereotypical redneck-like traits, from being a white supremacist, to being a big fan of country music.

Tall Poppy Syndrome: In "The Trial of R. Kelly", when a female R. Kelly supporter derided the anti-Kelly protesters, who were prominent black intellectuals, as "uppity niggas" for having the temerity for not supporting a singer accused of urinating on 14-year-old girl, and stressing the importance of reading. Huey got this from his old friends when traveling back to Chicago to attend a funeral, with Dewey mocking him for not being "down with the struggle" and moving to "Whitecrest". His other friend Cairo further insults him and Granddad, causing him to fight back. Played with when Rufus Crabmiser is monologuing to Granddad at the fishing post. Rufus has a bucket of crabs and points out that they will pull back any crab trying to get out of the bucket, because "a crab don't wanna see another crab make it... crab is like 'If I'm gonna die, we all gonna die'". "Crabs in a bucket" is another name for Tall Poppy Syndrome.

In "The Garden Party", while the Freemans attend a party full of rich white people, Huey attempts to tell "the truth" (Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11). However, no one believes him because he's just a kid, he has no solid evidence, and everything he says is just his own opinions; also, Huey and Robert believe that if he told people the "the truth", chaos would ensue among white people. That doesn't happen either; just because one person says something, especially when it's a conspiracy theorist's opinion, it doesn't mean that everyone is going to instantly believe said person.

comment
Denser and Wackier: The tone of the comic strip was overall mundane and down-to-earth, mostly focused on everyday life and social commentary. The TV series is far more outlandish and over-the-top, with crazier situations and the addition of action scenes. And somehow, it keeps getting weirder with every season.

 The Boondocks / int_8ace85ef
comment
Audience Surrogate: Ebony Brown, who deconstructs Uncle Ruckus' appeal, leans on the fourth wall, and expresses a desire to be a part of the main characters' wacky adventures. The fact that she's mind-bogglingly attractive and practically a saint suggests that McGruder is either playing around by making an in-universe Mary Sue fanfic in his own series, or he really, really appreciates his audience. She also might be McGruder's reply to black feminists who criticized him for not having a black woman as a regular on the series. He's basically saying this is the only character black women would be happy with, but there's no way she's going to be in the cast.

Beat the Curse Out of Him
 The Boondocks / int_8f6a683
comment
Beat the Curse Out of Him: During the "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back" episode, Uncle Ruckus' attempt to exorcise Colonel Stinkmeaner from Tom's body was to strap him to a bed and beat him while repeating the phrase "Nigga, get your black ass outta here!" The actual solution was the exact opposite (get Stinkmeaner to agree with someone, in this case Ruckus).

Middle Eastern Terrorists
 The Boondocks / int_95b7e807
comment
Middle Eastern Terrorists: The in-universe Soul Plane 2 movie of focus in "...Or Die Trying" features such as the antagonists. In "A Date with the Health Inspector", Ed III and Rummy rob a mini-mart owned by an Arab man, claiming that he's a terrorist as an excuse. The owner denies being a terrorist, but soon he and two fellow clerks retaliate by shooting assault rifles at Ed and Rummy. It's not exactly clear if they really were terrorists after all. "It's Goin' Down" begins with Jack Flowers torturing a captured jihadist fighter named Omar Muhammad inside a US military base. Jack kicks Omar's testicles repeatedly, which somehow made him reveal that there was going to be a bombing attack in Woodcrest, though it had nothing to do with Islamic extremism.

The Ed Wuncler family line (I, II, & III) and their friend Gin Rummy. Despite all of their blatantly criminal activity, they have enough money and connections to be ignored by the authorities, from the local police to the federal government. However, it might possibly be subverted with Ed III and Rummy, as they are both detained by a rogue federal agent for an indefinite time. But definitely still played straight with Ed I and Ed II.

You Are Grounded!: In "Home Alone", Huey punishes Riley by grounding him and forbidding him from leaving the house. Huey enforces this first with kicks to the face, then eventually by restraining Riley's wrists and holding him at gunpoint, then locking him in a closet when Riley breaks free from the duct tape holding his wrists together and makes a break for it.

Continuity Nod: It's safe to say that the series is rife with these. Including several episodes that were (very loosely) adapted from the comic strip: The Season 1 opening prominently features a profile of Huey seen from the side, reminiscent of how he appears in the comic strip. In a few episodes, Huey can be seen near a tree on a hill, an iconic stock setting from the comic strip. "Granddad's Fight" gets three sequel episodes, forming a tetralogy (one episode per season), all of them about Robert's Nigga Moment with Stinkmeaner, and how it keeps coming back to haunt him. "A Huey Freeman Christmas" features Riley having a vendetta against Santa Claus, and assaulting two Mall Santas (one of whom is Uncle Ruckus), which was originally in the comic strip. In "Let's Nab Oprah", Huey emphasizes his reasons against Riley hanging out with Ed and Rummy to Granddad, by reminding him of the mini-mart robbery from "A Date with the Health Inspector". "Riley Wuz Here" combines two plots that were originally from the comic strip; the main plot is about Riley committing a graffiti spree throughout the neighborhood (though his modus operandi is different), while the side plot is about Huey experimenting with only watching TV shows about black people for two weeks straight. "The Block Is Hot" adapts and expands one comic strip about Jazmine running a lemonade stand, complete with a scene where Riley and Robert ask her stupid questions about the lemonade. "Tom, Sarah and Usher" alludes to a story arc from the comic strip about Tom staying with the Freemans after Sarah kicks him out, although the reasons for their split are completely different. "Pretty Boy Flizzy" shows Sarah kicking out Tom yet again, but an annoyed Robert decides to keep Tom out of the Freeman house this time. In "Shinin'", Thugnificent makes it clear that if his rap career fails, he and the rest of the Lethal Interjection Crew will turn to crime - with Flonominal specifically mentioning crack dealing. The exception is Leonard, who thinks he'd be fine working at Wendy's. In "Bitches to Rags", the jig is up, and Thugnificent is being supported by Leonard, who really did get a job at Wendy's, until Thugnificent decides to just sell crack. "Invasion of the Katrinians" also adapts a comic arc about Robert's relatives from New Orleans seeking refuge at his house after Hurricane Katrina, although it plays out very differently. "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman" contains the very first line Huey said in the intro for "The Garden Party", and later his plan is foiled because he can't get a ride (which is what happened before in "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus"). "The Story of Lando Freeman" starts and ends with the lawn needing to be mowed, with a mention that whenever Ruckus doesn't do the lawn, it's always Huey who has to do it. A running gag from the comic strip involved Granddad forcing Huey to mow the lawn. In "The Lovely Ebony Brown", when Huey and Riley hear that Granddad has a new date, the boys remember Granddad's past dating experiences and they freak out. Oddly in "Breaking Granddad", there's a passing joke about Jazmine's insecurity with her curly afro hair, which was a running gag in the comic strip but had no prior presence in the show.

Leitmotif: Very common in this series: You'll hear a very ugly tuba, Jabba the Hutt's theme from Star Wars, play every time Uncle Ruckus makes an appearance in an episode. The "Terrible Terre Belle" track from Thugnificent's "Mo Bitches, Mo Problems" CD becomes his leitmotif from Season 3 onward. The appearance of Ed "Eddie Jr." Wuncler II often is accompanied by sleazy lounge music. The Jericho family has a jazzy rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In."

Rap Is Crap: Zig-zagged.

Dream Intro: Several episodes begin with a dream sequence: In "The Garden Party", Huey dreams that he gives a provocative speech to a crowd of rich white people at a garden party. In "A Date with the Health Inspector", Tom has a nightmare about getting anally raped by a Scary Black Man in prison. In "A Huey Freeman Christmas", Jazmine has a dream about giving a sermon at a church, telling worshipers to praise Santa Claus, whom she confuses for Jesus. In "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus", Ruckus has a dream in which he visits "White Heaven" and meets his hero Ronald Reagan. In "Ballin'", Riley dreams that he's a super-talented NBA basketball star, but somehow Granddad manages to ruin it for him. In "Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy", Robert has a nightmare in which an army of Stinkmeaner clones attack his house, and they chase him across town.

Recycled Premise: Season 4 rehashed some plots: "Pretty Boy Flizzy" copies "Tom, Sarah and Usher", as Tom is trying to keep another R&B singer away from his wife's attention. "Stinkmeaner: Begun the Clone War Has" is yet another Stinkmeaner episode, which involves a sort of rematch of the first fight from "Granddad's Fight": "The New Black" is awfully similar to "The S-Word", as Riley and Rollo Goodlove get involved in yet another controversy about political correctness.

Karma Houdini: invoked There's several outrageous examples: R. Kelly gets away with urinating on an underage girl, despite overwhelming evidence in the form of a self-incriminating video, because he was acquitted by a jury of his absurdly loyal fans. The Ed Wuncler family line (I, II, & III) and their friend Gin Rummy. Despite all of their blatantly criminal activity, they have enough money and connections to be ignored by the authorities, from the local police to the federal government. However, it might possibly be subverted with Ed III and Rummy, as they are both detained by a rogue federal agent for an indefinite time. But definitely still played straight with Ed I and Ed II. Eli Gorbinsky, the man who shot a cop named Gary Faulkner, manages to get away scot-free from the crime, because another guy named Shabazz K. Milton-Berle was wrongly convicted of the murder instead. Jericho Freeman and his large family, who fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, decide to stay at Robert's house. However, they quickly take advantage of his hospitality by eating all the food, creating a huge mess in the house, refusing to work, and waiting on a welfare check to solve all of their problems. Jericho even lies about not receiving the check, and returns to New Orleans without repaying the debt. BET CEO Deborah Leevil is able to get away with murdering two of her own employees; and along with the BET President Wedgie Rudlin, they continue to corrupt their African American audience.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: It seems that most people are very bad at shooting even at close range, and almost no one gets harmed. There's quite a few examples from Season 1 alone: "Granddad's Fight": Two gangsters are standing two feet away from each other, each shooting an entire clip at each other from point blank range, and neither one gets wounded until the cops show up and waste them both with single shots. "A Date with the Health Inspector": Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy shoot exactly one guy during the shootout at the convenience store, a bystander cop, who somehow lives. "The Story of Gangstalicious": Three gangsters, one of whom had two guns, run out of bullets without hitting one naked, blindfolded, and slowly-walking man. "The Block Is Hot": The police attempt to shoot Uncle Ruckus with over a hundred bullets without success, and in the end resort to beating him with nightsticks.

Oh, Crap!: One scene in "The Red Ball" features a team of Chinese kickballers insulting Huey, only for him to reply in Chinese, "I don't like being laughed at." One of the players can barely get out, "Did... he just..." before he's knocked out cold by Huey's pitch. The collective reaction when Busido Brown gets his head sliced off.

Selective Obliviousness: "The Trial of R. Kelly". Thanks to R. Kelly's popularity and his lawyer's manipulations, many people in the court dismiss Tom's concerns about R. Kelly being a pedophile despite the overwhelming evidence. "The Story of Gangstalicious 2" has Riley going through all manner of mental hoops to dismiss the evidence of Gangstalicious's homosexuality. Gangstalicious's orientation in general is subject to this as there are several clues to it that his fans ignore since rap culture isn't very tolerant of homosexuality. One of his songs even contains the lyrics, "Homies over hoes, do the homie" and features homoerotic imagery in the music video.

Abusive Parents
 The Boondocks / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Robert uses his belt rather liberally to discipline his grandsons, especially Riley. Granted, Riley is very poorly behaved most of the time, but you can't help but think that his Granddad still overdoes it. Luna grew up with an abusive father. This would later be mirrored by Luna's relationships with abusive boyfriends. This all explains why she's so crazy and distrustful of men. This is the reason Lamilton Taeshawn's grandmother gives for her grandson's sociopathic behavior, saying that he comes from a family where everyone is an alcoholic and abuse each other. Unlike Uncle Ruckus' situation, this all bores Huey and Granddad. Uncle Ruckus' father and paternal grandmother, who were grade-A assholes who took out life's frustrations on their own children. Uncle was savagely abused by his father Mister, who in turn had learned it from his own mother Nelly. Uncle Ruckus was so emotionally scarred that combined with copying his mother's extreme love of white people, he learned to hate most black people.

So What Do We Do Now?: Huey's reaction to Obama's election in "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman" has shades of this. It's unclear if he's just ambivalent about Obama or if he simply feels useless now. His juxtaposition with Uncle Ruckus suggests it's the latter.

 The Boondocks / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Many shots will be fired, including at: The comic strip, and the TV series to a lesser extent, frequently took the opportunity to ruthlessly mock the Republican Party, and right-wingers in general. The characters representing them in-universe, such as the bigoted (and hypocritical) Uncle Ruckus, the paranoid gun nut Betty von Heusen, bigoted loser Dan Stucky, and the ruthless fat-cat capitalist Ed Wuncler I, are all consistently depicted as being unpleasant people. Not to mention, that the comic strip became notorious for its continuous bashing of President George W. Bush's foreign policies. The new comics released in 2019 used Ruckus as a tool for mocking Donald Trump. Democrats and left-wingers are satirized at times as well. They're often depicted as either being well-meaning yet ineffectual at best (like Tom), or self-serving opportunists who hide behind the cover of social justice activism at worst (like Rollo Goodlove). Additionally, President Barack Obama, a man who's highly revered by most (black) liberals, is dismissed as being just another heavily overrated, stereotypical politician who is similar to the men who came before him. While anti-black racists are a frequent target of criticism and mockery, they're closely followed by black people who conform to every single negative stereotype in the book. The series really dislikes certain elements of African American pop culture and the black celebrities involved in them. This includes BET, Tyler Perry, and Soul Plane. "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman" was this towards the "Obama Hype Machine" going into the election, especially at will.i.am.

Hypocritical Humor: Uncle Ruckus is the main source of this because of his self-racism. In "The Garden Party", Robert tells Huey and Riley that they shouldn't use the N word, even though Huey points out that Robert says it all the time. This moment from "Tom, Sarah and Usher": In "The Color Ruckus", Riley admits that Uncle Ruckus' story was sad, but said that he was not going to cry because that would be "gay". Later in the episode, after Ruckus continues to tell the story, Riley is seen sobbing like a baby.

Lost in Translation
 The Boondocks / int_b7920c43
comment
Lost in Translation: Due to the idiomatic nature of both this show and American English, some of the humor is practically difficult to translate to other languages, especially when it comes to ethnic slurs: The Japanese dub of the episode "The S-Word" suffers on this, since due to restrictions on using the Japanese equivalent of "nigger" forced the translators to keep the English slurs untranslated. The problem is, at least in this episode, the dub voice actor voicing Mr. Petto struggled on pronouncing both "nigger" and "niggah", since in Japanese, both words are pronounced the same, in this case as the latter word. In the Japanese dub, however, Mr. Petto pronounced "nigger" as "niggu-ah" in order to keep the nuance of the word compared with "niggah". To make the things even more complicated, and adding another layer of unintended hilarity, when Mr. Petto explains to the school authorities what had he heard from his black students, it's more than obvious the Japanese translators simply gave up on trying to adapt the dialog to something the Japanese audience can understand in context and they either simply translated the words literally or keep some words, like "bitch niggah" untranslated from English, and just bleeping one part when Mr. Petto says "bullshittin'", since it was translated to its Japanese equivalent instead. This trope is better illustrated in this video regarding how foreign dubs handled the episode "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back". To resume this, all the mentions of "nigger/niggah" are either left in English (the aforementioned Japanese dub, plus Hungarian, Russian, Polish and German ones) or translated awkwardly due to either language limitations or censorship (Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Italian dubs).

Demoted to Extra: Huey, so that we can get more of Granddad's wacky adventures in dating and Riley's thuggery! because Huey was basically the tool McGruder used to comment on current events. Current events are much more suited to daily strips because they're daily. If he tried to use current events in an episode that takes months to make, it wouldn't be current anymore. Neither Jazmine nor Gin Rummy had any lines for the first half of Season 3. In Season 4 Jazmine barely has any lines nor plot involvement at all and Gin Rummy is completely absent (along with Ed III).

Hard Truth Aesop
 The Boondocks / int_bbc77bb5
comment
Hard Truth Aesop: The entire series exists largely to drop the anvil on the black community: Society is structured to disadvantage members of certain groups, usually focusing on the black community, but occasionally others. Huey calling out the Common Nonsense Jury in "The Trial of R. Kelly". Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech in "Return of the King", decrying the fact that the freedoms he fought so hard for are being taken for granted, even wasted, by the people on whose behalf he fought. Cartoon Network released an official statement in defense of it, in fact: "The Itis", regarding the importance of healthy eating. The episode also points out that the only reason soul food became part of African American culture in the first place was because it was the only food accessible to plantation slaves and there was no healthier alternatives: The "Nigga Moment" story arc with Colonel Stinkmeaner, that consisted of one episode per each season ("Granddad's Fight", "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back", "Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy", and "Stinkmeaner: Begun the Clone War Has"). The overall message is "don't fight with other people over stupid and/or trivial matters", and it's better to just make peace with your enemies and let go of past conflicts. But "The Hateocracy" reveals that sometimes you just can't do that. Even if you want to, the other person can be so consumed and warped, if not just plain awful. It does have the equal aesop of "There's no shame in having the police involved in your affairs if your life is in jeopardy." "Freedomland" is rather poignant about its message concerning how the modern-day middle class is kept down by those above them on the socioeconomic ladder.

Berserk Button: Huey does not like being laughed at. You can't have Tom's wife or his booty. Try not to throw any chairs when a large amount of black people are present. The "Nigga Moment" as a whole occurs when two or more black people get into an altercation because one party regards a petty slight as this. The two individuals involved don't even need to be actual niggasnote Defined by Huey as black people who behave in a manner that reinforces negative stereotypes. If Riley thinks it's cool, it's probably nigga behavior. for a Nigga Moment to occur; two otherwise intelligent black people can start a Nigga Moment simply because one of them won't let the issue go. Don't try to shorten A Pimp Named Slickback's name when you address him:

Uncle Ruckus. He starts as just a self-hating, bitter, black man who works 47 jobs and claims to have "re-vitiligo," a made up disease that makes him black. It is revealed in the episode "The Color Ruckus" that he hates black people because he was actually brought up in a black family in which his father and grandmother were terrible to him, and his mother, who was very nice to him, would teach him all about how great she thought white people were. He probably was not adopted and does not have re-vitiligo, even if he still thinks so. At the end of the episode, he decides that he shouldn't hate black people, but rather, feel sorry for them. This isn't much of an improvement, but it's probably better than hating them. However, this character development is thrown out the window by Season 4, as Ruckus is just as hateful as before.

Uncle Ruckus' father and paternal grandmother, who were grade-A assholes who took out life's frustrations on their own children. Uncle was savagely abused by his father Mister, who in turn had learned it from his own mother Nelly. Uncle Ruckus was so emotionally scarred that combined with copying his mother's extreme love of white people, he learned to hate most black people.

Lighter and Softer: The animated series reduces much of the provocative political commentary of the original comic strip, and it functions more like a sitcom comparable to The Simpsons or South Park. Subsequent seasons are even more quirky and humorous than the first one.

comment
Cassandra Truth: Played depressingly straight with Huey as far as everyone hitting him, cursing him out, or fiendishly mocking him whenever he speaks the truth about the world around him: In the "The Fundraiser", Riley actually recognizes that everything Huey says comes true. However, he just decides not to listen, because he doesn't like spoilers thinks things go wrong because Huey talks about them. However, Riley makes an exception when Huey gives him a bulletproof vest, and makes the smart move of constantly wearing it. It ends up saving his life. In "The Fried Chicken Flu", this becomes a major plot point, since Huey has been preparing for the end. Hell, his survival plan is even titled, "I Told You So." They have enough food, supplies, and backup power for four people. Unfortunately, no one but Jazmine read Huey's plan, and because Riley and Granddad refused to listen to him for their own selfish ends, nine people occupy the house, the power goes out, and food becomes scarce. It all goes to waste, however; everyone in Woodcrest mistakenly thought the world was ending, when in fact the "killer fried chicken flu" was just an outbreak of salmonella. In the Season 3 finale, Granddad lampshades this at the very end:

Character Catchphrase
 The Boondocks / int_d308cbb0
comment
Character Catchphrase: Several characters have at least one. Also most black characters say "nigga" to the point of it being a Verbal Tic: Riley: "Nigga, you gay!" "Pause." Robert: "Boy, where's my belt?!" Not really a phrase, but Granddad has that little tune he sings constantly with the words being just about anything on his mind at the time. "Wait, what was the question?", whenever he goes on a rant about something, usually completely unrelated, to someone who asked for advice (or not, as in "Wingmen" when he told Huey and Riley the story of him and Moe against their wills). Uncle Ruckus: "Uncle Ruckus, no relation." "I've got re-vitiligo (it's the opposite of what Michael Jackson's got)." Colonel H. Stinkmeaner: "BITCH-ASS NYUKKA!" Ed Wuncler III: "(What the) fuck y'all looking at?" A Pimp Named Slickback: "I'm A Pimp Named Slickback." Thugnificent: "No homo."

Democrats and left-wingers are satirized at times as well. They're often depicted as either being well-meaning yet ineffectual at best (like Tom), or self-serving opportunists who hide behind the cover of social justice activism at worst (like Rollo Goodlove). Additionally, President Barack Obama, a man who's highly revered by most (black) liberals, is dismissed as being just another heavily overrated, stereotypical politician who is similar to the men who came before him.

Action Girl: Luna, a champion martial artist who once ripped out a man's heart during a fighting tournament. When Robert becomes too scared to continue dating her, she has a mental breakdown and proves him right. Thelma. In all three versions of the Catcher Freeman story, she participated in a deadly slave revolt against Colonel Lynchwater; although in Robert and Ruckus' versions of the story, she was mostly a Damsel in Distress and a Femme Fatale, respectively. In the true and final version of the story, she was the rebelling slaves' leader, who actually fought a sword duel with Lynchwater. Ming Long-dou is a preteen example, who is surprisingly deadly with her kickball skills. It should be noted that the kickball game is played out like a brutal brawl with lots of beatings and fighting. Esmeralda Gripenasty is an elderly example; along with her equally old male accomplices, they are surprisingly fast and strong, and cause a lot of trouble for our protagonists.

Orgy of Evidence
 The Boondocks / int_dc3d9a68
comment
Orgy of Evidence: In "The Trial of R. Kelly", there's mountains of evidence that points to R. Kelly urinating on a 14-year-old girl. He gets away with it, mainly because his lawyer uses some outrageous defense strategy, and the jury is incredibly stupid. A strange case in "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus". A black man, Shabazz K Milton Berle, who was interning for the Black Panthers, was arrested for the murder of a cop, which occurred just outside. Ridiculous amounts of the evidence, including a court stenographer present at the scene taking down the murderer's explicit confession and identification of himself (which he signed and dated) points to Shabazz not being guilty, but he's arrested anyway and sentenced to death after a few minutes of deliberation by the jury.

Drugs Are Bad: Entirely Played for Laughs. Robert develops an interest for marijuana and starts a protest when his supplier gets shut down, only to get arrested, twice. When strapped for cash, Thugnificent resorts to making his own drugs to sell on the streets which ended up being the equivalent of burnt coal and people recognized him in his disguise anyway. And when he tries to make a deal with a gangster, the result ended in a comical shootout.

A visual example in "The Color Ruckus", when Uncle Ruckus is telling the story of his childhood. When his father is throwing him out of the house: he steps on a rake, which hits him in the face and gives him his trademark bulging eye and broken teeth; he steps in a bear trap, giving him a limp; and he gets wet paint from the fence on his shirt. His mother cries it'll need a presoak to get out.

Flanderization: While not fully given that much characterization when introduced, when Tom makes his debut in "The Trial of R.

He finally got some of his dignity back in "A Date with the Booty Warrior".

Groin Attack: Seems to be a sort of Running Gag: The recurring Thugnificent song "Stomp 'Em in the Nuts" sometimes plays in the background. "Attack of the Killer Kung-Fu Wolf Bitch": While Lionel Richie was sleeping with a mistress, his angry wife punishes him by stomping him in the nuts. "Ballin'": The fat white kid on the basketball team accidentally gets hit with one. "Home Alone": While Uncle Ruckus babysits Huey and Riley, they shoot him in the groin with airsoft pellets. "The Fundraiser": Cindy knees a chocolate industry goon in his nuts. "A Date with the Booty Warrior": Tom hits the Booty Warrior in the groin, while the former almost gets raped by the latter. "It's Goin' Down": Jack Flowers' preferred method of "enhanced interrogation" on captured terrorists is to kick them in the testicles. Uncle Ruckus stomps Dan the security guard in the nuts, while "Stomp 'Em in the Nuts" plays in the background. "The New Black": Riley gets stomped in the nuts by a mob of angry retarded children, while the same song plays.

Ed III and Rummy, despite being affluent white men, think that they're black street gangsters. They commit petty crimes despite already having plenty of money.

Jerkass: Uncle Ruckus definitely counts here. Most of the time, he's cruel and antipathetic to other black people, and it's sometimes implied that his hatred can get violent. Colonel H. Stinkmeaner could be considered a personification for hatred. He proudly despises everyone, and enjoys annoying the hell out of everyone. Ed Wuncler I is the embodiment of the Corrupt Corporate Executive. He sees nothing wrong with doing downright illegal things in pursuit of the almighty dollar. Moe Jackson is this in spades. Even from beyond the grave, he wants to have a laugh at the expense of Robert. This guy was a cruel practical joker of the worst kind.

Evil Old Folks
 The Boondocks / int_eb9afb9d
comment
Evil Old Folks: Ed Wuncler I, as the oldest patriarch of the Wuncler family. Uncle Ruckus, who is old enough to proudly remember racial segregation. Ruckus' father and grandmother are even older and worse than him. Colonel H. Stinkmeaner is an unrepentant bully who owed his long life to his "love of hatred". Stinkmeaner's associates, the Hateocracy. They terrorized a retirement home before getting kicked out, so they traveled around the world in search of more mayhem. While Betty von Heusen isn't exactly evil, she's always depicted as a nasty jerkass.

Mistaken for Terrorist: In "I Dream of Siri", during the wedding, Siri reveals she tricked the federal government into believing that Robert is a dangerous Al-Qaeda terrorist, which results in an Attack Drone being summoned to fire a missile at the Freemans' house, as Siri thinks this means that she and Robert can spend an eternity together in the afterlife.

Murder Is the Best Solution
 The Boondocks / int_f6b30338
comment
Murder Is the Best Solution: Robert in regards to the Hateocracy: While Robert asks Rummy what to do about Lando, Rummy keeps suggesting to kill him, claiming that some problems can only be solved with murder. In Season 4, Ed Wuncler II convinced Robert to sign himself into slavery in exchange for canceling the mortgage. Huey's solution? Kill Ed II with a homemade bomb. The plan never gets off the ground though, as Robert decides to sell the explosive chemicals that Huey made for the job as hair tonic.

True Art Is Angsty: invoked Lampshaded in-universe in "The Color Ruckus". While Ruckus recalls his horrible childhood to the Freemans, at one point, Huey remarks that Ruckus' life story is so heart-wrenchingly tragic, that it's reached "Academy Award winning" levels of sadness.

Running Gag
 The Boondocks / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Whitney Houston in court with her husband... Again. References to the film Friday. Doubles as an Actor Allusion for John Witherspoon. Robert's orange juice. A few of Huey's schemes would have gone perfectly if he only had a ride. Though this joke stopped happening when Huey stopped being the one going on zany schemes. Gin Rummy hates meaningless gadgets, while Ed Wuncler III loves flashy things, and both are very vocal about it even if they're supposed to be focusing on other things. Nearly every episode where they appear has them having a conversation about whatever new phone, app or pager that Ed has bought this time. The various stereotypical hip-hop songs, particularly "Booty Butt Cheeks," which consists of nothing but the title phrase being repeated over and over. But special mentions goes to "Stomp 'Em In The Nuts", which consistently starts playing in the background when someone...you can probably guess. Stinkmeaner's frequent run-ins with Robert get worse each time. Pretty amazing considering the first conflict ended in Stinkmeaner's death. Even death and damnation can't end a Nigga Moment, it seems.

Comically Missing the Point: Ruckus has a seething hatred of black people and everything about them despite not only being black, but being one of the darkest skinned characters in the series. He insists he has "that thing Michael Jackson had, but in reverse."

Department of Redundancy Department: "They call me the fundraiser 'cuz that's what I do: I raise funds." Riley once said to Gin Rummy "It's a bad plan! You plan things badly!" To be fair, you can understand his frustration. Werner Herzog asks Huey how he, as a "black African-American negro" feels about Obama's election.

invoked Huey is used to represent far-left radicals; he's been described variously as a socialist or black nationalist. Though it varies whether he's a strawman, or is actually making a good point.
