The Boondocks: Difference between revisions

** [[Ann Coulter]] is portrayed as being [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|quite nice off camera.]]

* [[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. {{spoiler|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}}.

* [[All Just a Dream]]:

** "Return of the King." The episode is a "what if?" in which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, but instead of dying, he fell into a coma and woke up decades later in 2000.

* [[Brick Joke]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|"Remember this equation. You'll need it later, nigga!"]]

** ''Pause'' had a scene where Riley explains to Granddad about saying "No homo" after saying something that could be taken into gay subtext. Cut to a few episodes later with ''A date with The Booty Warrior.''

'''Sarah:''' [[That Came Out Wrong|Pause.]] }}

* [[Broke Episode]]: "Bitches to Rags." A rare permanent example for poor <s>Thugnificent</s> Otis Jenkins.

** In "Shinin'", Thugnificent makes it clear that if this rap thing doesn't work out, 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.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]

'''Granddad''': Huey, grab the wooden stake. And my holy water! }}

* [[Creepy Child]]: Lamilton

** Completely intentional in the case of the brothers, and often played for laughs in the comics. There is a whole Sunday strip where Riley practices intimidating "thug shot" expressions, but fails because he is adorable.

** And ''way'' earlier, was a strip where Huey is declaring dramatically from a hill to his new neighborhood things like, "My knowledge of self shines boldly in the face of the beast!" A little old lady interrupts, calling him [http://www.gocomics.com/boondocks/1999/04/24/ "just a big ole cutie pie."]

'''Huey:''' Oh, ''never mind''... }}

** In the episode "The Lovely Ebony Brown", one of Grandad's past girlfriends tried to kidnap Riley because she thought he was adorable.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: A prime example is when Huey knows how Riley's fundraiser scheme will end. Riley has an idea, but tells Huey not to tell him, believing that not knowing will allow him to defy fate. Riley even accuses Huey of spoiling.

* [[Girl Scouts Are Evil]]: When you have Cindy McPhearson working for them, it's no surprise they defend their territory like drug runners.

* [[Gold Digger]]: Cristal ([[Insistent Terminology|like the champagne]]), who briefly dates Robert in the episode "Guess Ho's Coming To Dinner." To drive the point home, the start of the second half of the episode had [[Kanye West]]'s "Gold Digger" playing during a [[Shopping Montage]] of Robert buying Cristal a lot of expensive gifts.

* [[Gonk]]: Uncle Ruckus. Especially in the comic.

{{quote|'''Granddad:''' Y'all need to start appreciating your granddaddy. I went and spent your inheritance on this beautiful house in this neighborhood and all I ask you to do is act like you got some class!

'''Riley:''' (to Huey) Hey... what's "class?"

'''Granddad:''' Nigga, hush! }}

** And this:

'''Huey:''' Yeah...

{{[[[Beat Panel]] Beat}}]

'''Huey:''' Stop that. }}

* [[N-Word Privileges]]: And uses them liberally, Nigga!

** LA-MIL-TON! TAE-SHAWWWWWWN!!

* [[Once Killed a Man with A Noodle Implement]]: The episode "Granddad's Fight":

* [[One of Us]]: Aaron McGruder is a self-proclaimed "nerd" whose interests include ''[[Star Wars]]'', [[Anime]], video games, and [[Monty Python]].

* [[Only Sane Man]]:

** During season one, every one of Huey's schemes would have gone perfectly if he only had a ride. Though this joke stopped in the rest of the series when Huey stopped being the one going on zany schemes.

* [[Rogue Agent]]: Agent Flowers

'''Jack:''' [[Rogue Agent|I'm going rogue.]] }}

* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: In "The Color Ruckus" Riley cries after hearing Uncle Ruckus's story. He claimed that he had allergies.

** Xzibit and [[Pimp My Ride]] in season 2

** To ''[[Friday (film)|Friday]]'' in season 1:

'''Riley:''' [[Curse Cut Short|Nevermind.]] }}

** The episode "Shinin'" contains references to, of all things, ''[[Monty Python's Life of Brian]]''.

* [[Title Drop]]: Caesar on [http://www.gocomics.com/boondocks/2001/12/11/ December 11, 2001.] In a Christmas Carol, to boot.

* [[Tonight Someone Dies]]: What '''COMPLETE DISASTER''' seems to imply.

* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour]]: Lamilton Taeshawn is a eight year old sociopath who wants nothing more then to really hurt somebody.

* [[Truth in Television]]:
