The Boondocks/Characters

A character sheet from Aaron McGruder's newspaper comic strip-turned-animated series The Boondocks.

Huey
"I am the stone that the builder refused I am the visual, the inspiration that made Lady Sing the Blues"

"Huey: Most people don't have the time or the energy to follow politics, and the government takes advantage of that. This country needs to keep a closer eye on Washington! We need to start holding our elected officials responsible for this mess! Caesar: Wow... So who is our Congressman, Huey? Huey: Who knows... Some punk..."
 * Afro Asskicker
 * Angry Black Man: Especially in the comic.
 * Aside Glance
 * Badass Bookworm
 * Berserk Button: "I do not like being laughed at."
 * Birds of a Feather: Huey became best friends with Caesar because of their common political views.
 * Well it was more because they were the only black kids in Woodcrest (besides Riley) and could relate. While he often agrees with Huey, Caesar is generally much less interested in politics and occasionally gets annoyed that it's all Huey ever seems to talk about.
 * Black and Nerdy
 * Blue Oni: To Riley's Red.
 * Also to Caesar's Red in the comics.
 * Butt Monkey
 * The Cassandra
 * Cavalier Competitor: Over the kick ball game. At least until Ming makes it personal.
 * The Comically Serious: A ten year old who plans a prison escape, thinks he can bring down the man and brings nunchucks to the cinema. And all with a straight face.
 * Composite Character: Cartoon Huey combines Comic Huey's radical views and cynicism with Caesar's Only Sane Man attitude.
 * Conspiracy Theorist: He thinks that every white man's in on it, and that you can't tame them with cheese. He's at least wrong about the cheese part. Downplayed in the cartoon, where he acknowledges that most white people are just very, very ignorant, or are evil for non-racist reasons.
 * Crazy Prepared: Lets just say when shit goes down, Huey is prepared.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Fascinating Eyebrow
 * Genre Savvy: Listen to the kid. It might just save your life.
 * Hypocritical Humor: In the comic. Caesar is usually responsible for calling him on it.


 * Innocent Prodigy
 * Insufferable Genius: Particularly in the comic.
 * Intelligence Equals Isolation: Huey has no real friends. He scares them all off except for Caesar and Jazmine, especially in the cartoon, due to Caesar's absence.
 * Intergenerational Friendship:
 * With Tom, at least as much as Huey's cynicism will allow.
 * Also develops this with The White Shadow to an extent.
 * Issue Drift: Inverted in the final days of the comic, because Aaron McGruder put all of his good ideas into the cartoon.
 * I Warned You: Writer of "I Told You So: Emegency Household Protocols For Catastophic Scenario"
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although you have to look pretty hard for it. He means well and does well, but is harsh on those he considers ignorant.
 * Katanas Are Just Better: He plays it straight and also subverts it when he gets in a fight with Riley.
 * Kuudere
 * Little Professor Dialog
 * Named After Somebody Famous: Huey P. Newton.
 * Noble Male, Roguish Male: The (relatively) noble one
 * Only Sane Man
 * Perpetual Frowner: Almost always seen with a frown to emphasize his pessimistic and cynical personality. He's only smiled about 5 times in the animated series.
 * Poster Gallery Bedroom: His (half of the) room is neat with a full bookshelf, a computer and posters of Che and Malcolm X.
 * Power Fist: He builds one with instructions from the Internet.
 * Raised by Grandparents
 * Responsible Sibling
 * Retired Badass: Possibly the youngest example ever.
 * Ridiculous Procrastinator: Huey gets an entire arc about how he can't get himself to just mow the grass.
 * The Schizophrenia Conspiracy: In The Real he concludes that the he's either crazy or that the government is trying to make him think he's crazy.
 * Serious Business: The nerd in him will quote Obi-Wan Kenobi and he's repeatedly overreacted when he's given news of bad black movies etc. by Caesar.
 * The Snark Knight: A very accurate example.
 * Soapbox Sadie
 * The Spock
 * The Stoic
 * Straight Man
 * Strawman Political
 * The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: This is an odd one. A few of season 3 episodes rely on the fact that Huey is a domestic terrorist although the extent of how or why he is one is ambiguous at best. The animation has him state that he runs several left wing radical groups. In the comic strip, when a teacher reads his profile, he mentions that Huey has several Socialist groups. Then, you look at his adventures, gear, abilities, and personality, it's kind of hard to pin if it was a literal title or a satirical title. And no, Huey has never engaged in any terrorist activities in either the strip or animation.
 * Took a Level in Badass: In the comics Huey's martial arts skills are an Informed Ability. In the cartoon, not so much.
 * Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour
 * Ubermensch: Deconstructed. Initially, Huey is the picture perfect example or was one in progress. However, as the series progresses, he has his faith challenged that force him to accept that there are forces he can't understand and sometimes he can't make a difference. As the series progresses, Huey starts become more hopeless to eventually giving up on society and accepting that his Blue and Orange Morality is not enough.
 * Unreliable Narrator: In "Attack Of The Killer Kung Fu Wolf Bitch", though he corrects himself.
 * Weekend Inventor
 * Wise Beyond Their Years
 * The Worf Effect: While a skilled martial artist, he is often the one kissing concrete when he gets into fights, though to be fair, a lot of his opponents are adults and elite Badasses. The only fights he has won or at least, had the advantage in, were against either those in his own age group, or just mooks.
 * Sibling Yin

Riley
"I'm the spark that makes your idea bright the same spark that lights the dark so that you can know your left from your right"


 * Adaptation Dye Job: Not a dye job but a hairstyle change. Riley's hair was changed from being short to having cornrows.
 * Book Dumb: In the comics, he invokes this intentionally.
 * Bratty Half-Pint
 * Catch Phrase: Nigga, you gay.
 * Pause.
 * Character Exaggeration: Becomes more of a Small Name, Big Ego type in the animated series. Somewhat justified in that Riley is supposed to represent black youth stirred in the wrong direction, imitating rappers. During the time of the strip most rappers were known for how "hard" or "gangster" they were. Currently most rappers are known for how flashy and braggadocios they are.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy: His attempts to look tough are undermined by being "cursed with cuteness".
 * Determinator
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He is thoroughly creeped out by Lamilton.
 * Evil Laugh: His sadistic snicker.
 * Flashback to Catchphrase: In "The Story Of Gangstalicious, Part 2".
 * Foolish Sibling
 * Genius Ditz
 * Genre Savvy: He can predict his Grandad's Catcher Freeman story.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs
 * Guilty Pleasures: He feels great shame when it's revealed he's a Lauryn Hill fan. This isn't because Hill is a regular guilty pleasure, as Huey explains—he doesn't see Hill's positive messages as compatible with his chosen "gangsta" lifestyle. He has an image and mindset to maintain.
 * Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?
 * I Just Want to Be Badass
 * Intergenerational Friendship: With Thugnificient.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Occasionally.
 * Laser-Guided Karma: While Riley never learns any lessons, he doesn't always escape consequences. He usually serves to be his own downfall and often gets beaten by his grandfather if he pisses him off.
 * The McCoy
 * Noble Male, Roguish Male: The roguish one
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: In the comics. Outside of being a talented artist, he is also exceptionally bright when he wants to be. He does poorly in school to protect his "rep". In the cartoon, he really is that stupid.
 * In the first season, Riley was more on the fence when it came to obfuscating stupidity. For all the dumb things he did, the boy was a surprisingly good debater.
 * The third season of the cartoon also brings him closer to this; he is, among other things, a master strategist, but is willingly Genre Blind to an extent that would require him to be secretly Genre Savvy.
 * Raised by Grandparents
 * Red Oni: To Huey's Blue.
 * Schemer
 * Small Name, Big Ego
 * This Loser Is You
 * Trash Talk
 * Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour
 * Ungrateful Bastard
 * Verbal Tic: He seems to have picked up a new one lately whenever he mentions something gay, no homo.
 * Where Da White Women At?: In Roberts Daydream Surprise.
 * Although he's actually pretty asexual in both the comic and show. He sees bitches as more of a status symbol than anything.
 * Wrestler in All of Us
 * Sibling Yang

Robert "Granddad" Freeman
"I am the ballot in your box the bullet in the gun that inner glow that lets you know to call your brother "son""

""You ever try beatin' his ass?""
 * Ace Pilot: He received a medal and flew a "top secret mission to Germany to save the whole world".
 * Actor Allusion: Pops, is that you?
 * Angry Black Man: 'Cause he's a Grumpy Old Man.
 * Awesome McCoolname: Robert "Bitches" Freeman.
 * Berserk Button: Asking him to butter his own popcorn.
 * Blatant Lies: "I'm gonna go find myself a white man and lie to 'im right now."
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Dirty Old Man: Pretty much the point of his character in the cartoon.
 * Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off
 * The Gump
 * Although how much of it is true is uncertain to say the least. He definitely was a Tuskeegee Airman and present (albeit deeply unpopular) at Rosa Parks' bus protest and the Birmingham marches, definitely wasn't the UFC light-middleweight champion or a member of G-Unit, and may or may not have gotten into a knife fight with Jesse Jackson.
 * Hypocritical Humor: A true master.
 * Hypocrisy Nod: Especially in the comics - a common gag is for Huey to point out how he's acting foolish or hypocritical, only for Granddad to agree, but reply that since he's in his golden years he doesn't care.
 * I Just Want to Be Special
 * Intergenerational Friendship: With Tom.
 * I Resemble That Remark
 * It's All About Me
 * I Was Quite a Looker: Here.
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sometimes. He does love his grandsons, no matter how much of a pain in the ass they are.
 * Kavorka Man
 * The Kirk
 * Meaningful Name: Which Ed Wuncler hangs a lantern on.
 * Mentor: Of a sort to Huey in the comics, where his characterization is that he is Older and Wiser, but because he's retired he really doesn't want to have to care. Huey occasionally comes to him for deep conversation, though it's never guaranteed that Granddad will want to get into the situation.
 * Naked People Are Funny: at least when they're censored.
 * Parent-Fu
 * Self-Serving Memory
 * Shipper on Deck: Granddad seems to ship the boys with Cindy and Jazmine intentionally (Trying to get Riley to show interest in girls) or sub-consciously (Calling Jazmine Huey's "little friend" and dreaming of Jazmine instinctively hugging Huey when attacked by the .)
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: In the animated series.
 * Ungrateful Bastard
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer: With regard to parenting.

 * Lazy Bum
 * The Load
 * Lower Class Lout
 * Ragin Cajun
 * Schemer
 * The Tramp
 * Ungrateful Bastard
 * Working Class People Are Morons

Other Characters

 * Boomerang Bigot
 * Bring My Brown Pants: In "The Story Of Gangstalicious", while at gunpoint.

"Uncle Ruckus: I am Reverend Father Uncle Ruckus. No relation."
 * Canon Immigrant: He was originally created for the show, but McGruder added him to the comic in the brief period between the show starting and the comic ending.
 * Characterization Marches On: Season 1 actually has moments where he seems completely aware that he's black. Refering to whites as "they" and blacks as "we" is a subtle example.
 * Other lines include "I was happy at the back of the buss" and "I would have shoot you myself but I realised the white man got better aim." Not to mention the episode "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus".
 * Continuity Nod: He's a reverend again in "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back".


 * Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas
 * Fluffy Cloud Heaven: In the Cold Open of "The Passion Of Reverend Ruckus".
 * Freudian Excuse: Was raised by an extremely abusive dad who always proclaimed his hatred of white people as well as a loving mom who idolized Caucasians. This helped warp Ruckus's mind into the self-hating oaf we know and love.
 * Glass Eye
 * Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Played for laughs and drama.
 * I Know Karate: "You think you're the only one to master the ancient & deadly art of the Nunchaku?"
 * Jerkass: Most of the time.

 * Ronald Reagan: He worships him to the same extent that Huey hates him.

 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Robert. Despite his racist views and the verbal abuse they keep slinging at each other because of it, the two sure seem to hang out a lot.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Subverted. He's holding down 47 jobs at once.

Michael Caesar

 * Celeb Crush: Claimed Jennifer Lopez was the female ideal of unobtainable beauty and then dumped her off the list because of the movie Enough.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Foil: Was introduced as a character with Huey's views and wisdom who was much more laid back about it. This quickly put him into the Only Sane Man slot.

 * Last-Name Basis

 * Obligatory Joke: Often, much to Huey's annoyance.

Jazmine Dubois

 * Accidental Pervert: Poor Jazmine. Her first penis display belonged to an 80+ year old man.
 * Break the Cutie: A major reason Huey has for talking to her in the comics, though he doesn't exactly mean to be malicious - he truly thinks she would be better off if she were a cynic like him, so he makes it his mission to tear down her childlike beliefs.
 * Butt Monkey: In the comic, though she only tends to be treated badly by Huey and occasionally Riley. It seems like in general the world enjoys messing with her naivete.
 * Cheerful Child
 * Fan Girl: Of Usher.
 * Funny Afro: Makes her insecure. Played for laughs, naturally.
 * Green Eyes
 * Hikikomori: Once she returns in the comic book her two year long Chuck Cunningham Syndrome is explained as her locking herself in her room ever since 9/11 our of fear of terrorists.
 * I Am Not Pretty
 * Luminescent Blush: At the end of "Wingmen".
 * Vocal Evolution: Justified since her voice actor was a little girl when the series began.
 * Wide-Eyed Idealist

Cindy McPhearson

 * Character Exaggeration: In the original comic, she was simply a white student obsessed with black culture and oblivious to Huey's blatant dislike of her. In the show, she's an over-exaggerated wigger.
 * Cheerful Child: The comic version is arguably even more cheerful than Jazmine since she doesn't have Jazmine's insecurities or Huey to depress her.
 * Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Cindy only appeared in the comic strip for the first 2 years during the comic's lifespan. The other four years? She dropped off the face of the Earth. She made her first appearance in 7 years on the show and has been shown to be becoming an Ensemble Darkhorse.

 * Satellite Character: She's Tom's wife, Jazmine's mother, the Freeman's neighbor and every episode she's featured in deals with one of those facts.
 * Token White
 * Where Da Black Men At: In the comics, she only dated black men, eventually marrying Tom. She's still openly attracted to black men, notably Usher and President Obama in the show, much to Tom's dismay.

Ed Wuncler, Sr.

 * Corrupt Corporate Executive
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Even He thinks Ed III is a fuckup.
 * Evil Plan: Hatches a few, usually involving money.
 * Friendly Enemy: He's well aware that Huey is Wise Beyond His Years, and seems to genuinely like Granddad. Huey mentions that he doesn't think he's racist, just a greedy old man.
 * Ink Suit Actor: Imagine Ed Asner still channeling Lou Grant, and you wouldn't be too far off.
 * Jerkass: Wuncler has done multiple acts of pure malice throughout the series and he is proud of them.
 * Karma Houdini: You know you're one when even the president personally phones the agent holding you at gunpoint to tell him to stand down.

 * Money, Dear Boy: "Don't you have enough money?" "No."
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: If Ed the Third is George W. Bush, this would naturally make Ed Senior his grandfather, Prescott Bush. Though, his grandfather was Prescott Rothchild Wuncler.
 * Strawman Political: Some of his rhetoric seems to be conservative/libertarian based. Since he is a satiric characterization of Prescott Bush, it is kind of expected.
 * Screw the Rules, I Have Money
 * The Chessmaster

Ed Wuncler III

 * Ax Crazy: Mostly in terms of how he thinks outright sociopathic behavior is all in good fun.
 * Bring My Brown Pants: His time in Iraq... good god.
 * To be precise, he soiled himself at least a dozen times, the other members of his unit called him "Stinkbomb", and he was eventually kept from joining on patrols because the enemy could smell him coming.
 * Catch Phrase: (What the) Fuck y'all lookin' at?
 * Comedic Sociopathy
 * Fearless Fool: He invites Riley to test his ballistic vest with live ammo while he's wearing it, wanders in full view through raging gunfights firing wildly at nothing, and seems to forget that taking both hands off the steering wheel to shoot out of a moving car is a bad idea, among other things. He's really, really lucky to be alive at this point.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Charlie Murphy, is that you?
 * Jerkass: Hoo boy.
 * Motor Mouth: Nobody does rambling anecdotes quite like Charlie Murphy.
 * Name's the Same
 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: Meant as a parody of George W. Bush, being destined for greatness simply because his family is rich.

 * Sophisticated As Hell
 * Trigger Happy
 * Upper Class Twit

 * Badass and Jerkass Crew: Stinkmeaner in his slightly younger days belonged to the Hateocracy, a group of senior citizens who hated everything and were all jerkasses. Stinkmeaner
 * Blind Black Guy
 * Boomerang Bigot: While he hates everyone, he hates black people slightly more than everyone else.
 * Came Back Strong: Initially just a hateful old man who managed to get lucky in a single fight. When he comes back from Hell, though...
 * Disability Superpower: Averted, as for once the generally Genre Savvy Huey was Wrong Genre Savvy, and Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting didn't apply.
 * Drives Like Crazy: In his defense, have you tried driving while blind?
 * Fate Worse Than Death: He may be in Hell, but it's better than being in jail.
 * For the Evulz: The motivation behind his very breathing.

 * Awesome McCoolname
 * Expy: Of 1970s Martial Arts film star Jim Kelly
 * Insistent Terminology: Grandmaster Bushido Brown.

 * Memetic Badass: In-universe his reputation is greatly exaggerated. He's still quite possibly the best fighter on the show.
 * Occidental Otaku: Aside from the obvious, his demands in return for helping the Freemans in Season 3 include large amounts of sushi and one of those "Japanese butt-cleaning toilets".

Luna
"FINISH HIM!"
 * Abusive Parents: Her father would constantly beat her mother right in front of her, even over a piece of chicken. Unfortunately, Luna suffered the same type of abuse in her previous relationships.
 * Action Girl
 * ...And Show It to You: Did this to a guy back in the Kumite ( WA-TA! ), all completed with this line:

"Nicole: Now remember, this is not your fault. This man took your weekend from you. Two days you'll never get back! You gotta kill him."
 * Badass
 * Cute and Psycho
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Troubled would be an understatement for this girl: beside from being Raised by Wolves, Luna has suffered every type of abuse in every relationship she's been in. It doesn't help that she grew up in a broken home with an abusive father.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Like her mother, Luna was severely abused over the slightest things, whether the cooking was cold and the laundry was done wrong.
 * Her friend Nicole doesn't help either; she suggested that Luna should just outright kill Granddad just for cutting their weekend short.

"BITCH, THIS CHICKEN IS COLD!"
 * Domestic Abuse:

"Luna: I will rape your grandfather with this broomstick!"
 * Only most likely because Granddad and Tom
 * Thanks a lot, Nicole.
 * Large Ham: "If I could just find a man to love me-he-he-he-he *gasp* eh-he-he-he-he *gasp* eh-he- *beat* -eee."
 * Raised by Wolves: She also owns fifteen of them.
 * Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:

"Luna: I thought you were going to say that I was crazy and you didn't want to see me again like the others."
 * It's also implied
 * She Fu: She beats the living shit out of Huey, chokes out Granddad, and tosses Tom across the room by the neck with her legs, ** Waif Fu: Luna is also much stronger than she looks, as she is seen a flashback beating the crap of a guy three times her size in the Kumite ( HIYAA! ) flashback and rips his heart right out of his chest. She also laments wiping the floor with Huey by punching a hole in the wall.
 * Skilled but Naive: A literal example; she's practically a trained killer, but easily fell for Granddad's Fidel Castro lie.
 * Stepford Smiler: Type C.
 * Toxic Friend Influence: Her friend Nicole is the epitome of this trope.
 * Unusual Euphemism: Her "friendly sparring match" with Huey wasn't so friendly...
 * Wham! Line:


 * Woman Scorned: She rose hell when she found out Granddad lied to her about attending Fidel Castro's birthday party.
 * Yandere: And how.

Otis "Thugnificent" Jenkins
"Thugnificent: Old man, I know I told you to go eat dicks in the past, but you alright with me."
 * A Bro To His Men
 * Ascended Extra: Albeit slightly - having only appeared in 3 episodes in Season 2, he appeared in 5 episodes for Season 3.
 * Auto-Tune: Uses it in his album "Mo' Bitches, Mo' Problems". Which fails spectacularly since he uses it in all his songs.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Even after getting kicked out of Granddad's house, he still managed to come to the rescue in "Fried Chicken Flu".
 * A Day in the Limelight: "Bitches to Rags".
 * Drives Like Crazy
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Kind of. That song "Booty Butt Cheeks" you hear throughout Season 1? He made that.

 * Incoming Ham: The Running Gag of his arrival being heralded by a glass-shatteringly loud rendition of one of his own songs.

 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's an irresponsible idiot, but he's probably one of the nicest characters in the series.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Gets his buddy fired from his job, due to No Such Thing as HR.
 * And again when he visit a Asian friend for help for his failing career and instantly got it just from simply asking. The thing though he brought Ed Wuncler III with him since he thought it was a drug deal. When Ed realized he wasn't getting any money out of it...yeah.
 * Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense: A good showman but due to trying to preserve his image, not the smartest when it comes to money.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Gets off to a rocky start with Granddad, but eventually they put aside their differences. This is especially apparent after.
