Lol there is such rampant hypocrisy among the christian community. They value the constitution but can’t respect the right of Aaron McGruder to make the show.
There are people that are saying “Well you wouldn’t do this with the Muslims”. So you niggas want to be in the company of countries like Saudi Arabia and the same middle Eastern countries who would censor this type of stuff or send death threats to the creators.
Ok, sure. You can’t cherry-pick issues where it’s fine to censor things and say “We aren’t like that other religion”. Smh
I’m down. It has Corey Holcomb in it and that man is hilarious. It’s got a solid cast too. My whole thing is if they let anything Tim and Eric related stay on Adult Swim for seasons then anything else is fair game. Anything Tim and Eric made was garbage. Plus, I have been looking for a decent Adult Swim show to watch since they have been off and on with Aqua Teen.
I have mixed feelings about this show succeeding or not.
a part of me wants it to succeed, while the other half of doesn’t cuz I had a similar idea to his show back in 1997.
I wanted to make a movie involving a Jesus that spoke in modern day urban vernacular. He didn’t necessarily needed to be black or in “da hood.” but he needed to just talk with cussing and spouting urbanized modern American English.
something relatable to our generation.
People were mostly shocked and appalled, and thought I was joking when I would mention this “urban cussing jiving jesus flick” I wanted to make.
I didn’t find my idea to be a bad thing, but knew of course how controversial it would be if I did miraculously manage to make it.
so I’m sorta jealous that Aaron got to make my idea come to life while I didnt.
Didn’t see it, don’t know if I’ll ever get around to it. I just want to say that the best thing about this show is the outcry of butthurt from black Christians. It’s like food for my soul.
Definitely a good start. They have a chance to do something epic with this show if they can keep up the low-key positive messages and level of quality.
The intro with Witherspoon, Murphy’s Vic, and the robbery killed me. The latter was vintage (McGruder) Boondocks with random shit spoken when a lot are people talking at once, cleverly in this case with only one person dubbing Afroman style
“YOU TOO, YOU SPRING BREAK BITCH!!”
“AY EUGENE … go git yo colon checked PEEMP!”
“Ironically, I didn’t slap the shit outta you soon as I got down here”
