Up & Coming? That was awful ~ as if the stuff on adult swim wasn't bad enough already!
I'm so thankful each september ~ I don't let my kids watch cable during the school year ~ as soon as school starts I cut it down to basic channels ~ then turn it back on just for their summer vacation. Each summer I'm more & more repulsed with the garbage on there. Unbelievable.

"because he wasn't speaking in baboon", :rofl

I agree. Most shows in the comedy block are reruns - except for 1k3's preview. Anime block is stale and it's almost a parody of anime lol.
-
This was distastful, ugly, uneducational.
If you find this kind of crap humorous then you really need to find a life.
I'm really tired of the second tier of crap.
It's a unforgiven crime that Imus sez "Knappy Headed" during a Basketball game yet some rejoice in this crap?
Run this by the "Straight Haired, MLK wannabee, Al Sharpton" let him remark on it.
Mac...
BTW Where The F**K is Jesse Jackson or Farrakan anymore? You NEVER hear from their arses anymore.
Just getting tired of the Chit!

I guess I dont have much of a life because I find this show hilarious. However, for those who think this is children's programming you must not understand that adult swim is for...big surprise...adults.
When its a black guy taking potshots at his own race, all bets are off. They go after just about everyone tho... my favorite is the episode where they have the granddad offering cheese to the white neighbors as a way to get in their good graces...cuz you know how all us white folk just dig that cheese :D

Of course nothing on TV is educational at very late nites. No one thinks when watching TV very late at night, especially when you just got out of your job doing overtime. Even the most crude things said on TV can even make people chuckle because their minds are half shut off at this time.
Ok I just remembered something about Dave Chappelle's show back in '04-'05. Just like Chappelle's show, if you are white, black, brown, red, yellow, green, etc over the age 35 or 40: steer clear from this show. Chances are that was Adult Swim's intention with this show. And the hip-hop generation crowd of the '80s and '90s will connect and get the feeling of this show.
Again, Boondocks's very crude, but I gotta give kudos to Studio Madhouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhouse_(company)) for animating this, the same studio that animated Death Note (http://www.salon.com/books/review/2007/07/26/death_note/) (see my sig), a precious gem I found with a main plot that will make you think about morality and what IS justice:t
For those who want something inteligent, click my linked sig:t

Like all really funny humor, there are parallels between that clip and real life, whether you want to admit it or not.
I am sure Mr. Sensitive has never peeped a hint of indignation when a black comic made fun of white people, but let anyone, even a black make fun of black people and he is all about the moral high ground.
-
It is pretty stupid and I hate anime but...
If you can't make fun of race or the things races do... you will never see an end to racism.
ridicule is a great weapon.... ridicule can stop some "black culture" that is harming them.

Nobody has misunderstood who the adult swim programming is for ~ they just have enough maturity to see what a bunch of crap it is.

teasmom.. I think that it is simply more pandering to the terminaly hip but...
any making fun of racial characteristics and phony racial culture is a good thing in my opinion.

Im with her on this one. I think thats a vile, disgusting, pointless show, and not the tiniest bit an expression of... anger and revenge if you catch my drift. Its crap. I wont watch it, and I find I dont get along with those who do... I wonder why...

We got a few haters out here, but I'm not surprised. I still love grandpa complaining about why he should be the one putting butter on his popcorn:rofl
-
And 1k3, I got curious about your sig and I watched death note. This is very good for a cartoon, but much better if it was live action:aok The music intro is TERRIBLE. The plot seems juvenile and it's bound to get complicated for the for the guy who received the death note. I think I'll continue watching this to see what happens to "Light" Yagami. My only issue is that it gets very tiring when reading the subtitles 20 mins straight, lol.

Actually, no. Its just the personalities that find this form of humor attractive tend to clash with my own personality. Ill give you this, that show DOES have some classic lines, but it manages to ruin itself immidiately afterwords.

The Boondocks is not one of my [AS] favorites, but it is greatness. They pull no punches. Remember, this is comedy for adults not kids.
I'm anxiously awaiting the new seasons of The Venture Brothers and Squidbillies. In the meantime, I'll have to settle for Moral Orel and Robot Chicken.
-
It was not funny in the trailers.. I am not watching it until at least a dozen "representitives" of the black culture condemn it.

Much better cartoon.. even though it's waaay old now.
-
I don't object to others watching it if they're up for it. The beauty of TV is that if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. If enough people watch it, the advertisers during that time make money... which keeps it rolling. If enough people don't watch it, the advertisers pull out & the shows drop. Let em have at it if they think they'll get an audience.
-
I've never missed a Boondocks episode. Won't this season either. Funny, funny show.

Great stuff. For the folks who didn't read the wiki, here's the basic setup of the show:
The grandfather was a quasi-activist in the 60s, made his money, and retired to a wealthy, predominantly white neighborhood. He's conservative, thinks the modern 'black culture' is idiotic, and just wants a peaceful retirement. His grandsons are sent to live with him because they're in a bad neighborhood. The one with the big hair considers himself the reincarnation of Huey Long, and is a politically active Malcolm X type kid. The other one embraces the "thug life", but ineffectually, because he's just a kid.
The grotesque looking guy with the bulging eye has bought into the "inferiority of blacks" hook line and sinker, and considers himself the lowest of the low and is a big proponent of white superiority, to comical effect.
The trailer shows a rapper moving into the neighborhood and makes fun of the "Cribz" style excesses, which the grandfather has no patience for.
He's the best character, you might recognize his voice from the movie Friday, he was the dad. My favorite line is where he's talking to the movie concessionaire about being forced to put his own butter on the popcorn and saying "If I order a whopper with cheese and Burger King, do they make me put on my own damned cheese?!"
-
If that is the best line in the thing then I can relax and not feel guilty about not watching a cartoon.

C'mon Lazs. We know you have the Season 1 DVD of Squidbillies.

Does this count? :)
The Boondocks series has attracted a great deal of controversy for its routine use of the word "n i g g a". Aaron McGruder defended the usage of the word, stating that its use made the show feel "more sincere", since the word is commonly used in the everyday conversations of some African Americans.
In 2006, Reverend Al Sharpton protested Martin Luther King's use of the word in the episode "Return of the King". Sharpton felt it defaced the name of Martin Luther King, and sought an apology from the series producers. The controversy was later referenced in the cartoon strip five times and in TV episode "The Block is Hot" in the form of a morning radio announcement.
From my experience, it's more intelligent and not as shallow as Dave Chappelle's show. Not a bad series for just 15 episodes.
-
Does this count?
It's people like this that allows crap like that to freely flow.
YET yer frikken soo called MLK wannabee Reverends *cough Al Sharpton cough... wait it was Frikken Plural... Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakan* Where are they ? Where's Jesse and Louis? You don't have a frikken idea....I know where Martin is... I know what he said. I know where his heart was and it wasn't with Jesse, Al or Louis. Prove me wrong.
You ignorant Bastages, have you not grown up since the dam '60's. Wait, you find that if the World sez a dammm thing wrong then you have the right to press a law suit?
Ohhh wait, I pissed someone off. Guess what? I Don't frikken care.
IMUS in the Morning? I'm in yer ANUS in the morning... Frikken sue me!!!
Don't get me started with Geraldo Rivera or the other left wing homo Alan Colmbs..
Clue to you frikken Liberals... if you don't like what someone says... IGNORE IT!!! Holy Crap a Revelation!!! Dammm.
With Love,

Here is Bolo bout to make himself popular on the boards again.
Here is a fact. If you are white you will probably not get this show. It was not written for you. The situations in it are not familiar to most white people in America. They are pretty familiar to alot of black folks though,and I don't know of any personally who dislike the show or think it is offensive or demeaning to our race. To me offensive and demeaning: the Flavor of Love, Nick Cannons Wild n Out, and BET. This show points out what is wrong with our way of thinking in a comical way, in the same way Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle make us laugh.
Speaking of Dave Chappelle, can anyone argue that the black white supremicist skit wasn't the funniest thing to come on TV in a long long time?
AWMac is really to angry to make any sense at all, I actually feel sorry for him. What happened to make him so pissed off? Do this for me AWMac, simple kidergarten question. Which terms go together: liberal, conservative, censorship, freedom of speech?
When I say white people don't get it, I mean that if you haven't experienced certain things, the jokes may not go over as well. That certain thing is being black in America, especially a black man. if you have never had someone clutch their purse tighter upon seeing you enter an elevator, you won't get it. If you have never been pulled over for being in the wrong neighborhood, you won't get it. If you have never been the only black person in a school, or in a room, you won't get it. The shows points out a fact that not many americans will readily admit to. Racism is as alive and well today as it was in the 1960's, just more politically correct.
I am sure this will endear me to the AH community as much as my other thread on religion but so be it. :aok
PS
For any of you that need a 'yassah boss' there it is. LOL

bolo... I actually agree with you and am glad that I don't get it. To get it would mean that I actually gave a crap about a culture that is worthless and destructive. One that I do my best to avoid.
I don't watch black movies and I don't listen to black music and I don't try to understand their language nor do I care what they think.
These types of things are of interest to only liberal wussies and wiggers. Bleeding hearts and those who are too stupid to have a life or an opinion not spoon fed them by a myriad of media sources..
It is almost painful to watch pasty white geeks pretending solidarity with black pretend thugs. their ultimate humiliation is deserved tho.

That won't happen anytime soon...the "representatives"(quotes are very appropriate) are too busy banning words and running irrelevant marches.
