no no no, Obama said: “Basically, fuck him”.
No shit. My ex white girlfriend threw a goddamn hissy fit when I viewed Obama as a politician and actually questioned how he was going to pull off his ‘promises’ instead of blindly following him like a damn sheep.
Huey’s situation hit home with me because I got very similar reactions from people with my indifferent attitude towards the Obama craze and most of them said: “Did you vote for Mccain???!!”
Anyway, “professional buffoon” had me rolling.
Grandad’s photo with MLK and Malcolm X was hilarious
Ruckus was in rare form as always
Riley represented a lot of black people’s attitude at the time waaay too accurately.
I know the three branches of government (cookie for me!).
Just saw the DMX interview. I thought it was hilarious that he was accusing Bush of barely being able to speak when I could barely understand the broken jibberish coming out of his mouth.
The Obama voice actor is amazing.
is the obama voice the guy from youtube who made the obama rap?
I had to watch this epiosde again. lol @ Ruckus saying Michelle Obama should be in the WNBA shooting foul shots. That’s fucked up!
Edit:
God damn who the fuck is that random white guy in that video!? lmao
Must watch episode tonight on AS. The absence of cable is going to kill me for this season. Haven’t had it in 6 months, and for the first time, I am upset cause I couldn’t watch it the night of.
OTA FTL!!!
Someone fill me in on the DMX joke. I didn’t noticed it when I was watching.
right here:
dmx didnt know about obama during the election. he lost his shit when he found out he was black and his name…its like dmx was on another island. thugnificant was dmx in the early part of the episode.
Thugnificent’s rant about how he had no idea who Obama was and how it was a terrible name for a president was lifted straight from an interview with DMX, word for word.
Awhile back XXL interviewed DMX about the anniversary of one of his albums and the conversation shifted to Obama being elected. Here’s a snippet:
Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.
You?re not? You know there?s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there?s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!
Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!
Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?
Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?
Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain?t no fuckin? name, yo. That ain?t that nigga?s name. You can?t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.
You?re telling me you haven?t heard about him before.
I ain?t really paying much attention.
I mean, it?s pretty big if a Black?
Wow, Barack! The nigga?s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain?t his fuckin? name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, ?Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit? [laughs] ?That ain?t your fuckin? name.? Your momma ain?t name you no damn Barack.
AHhhh okay.
Damn I thought they just threw that shit in there to be funny. I didn’t know that was actually base off DMX dumb ass. :shake:
That scene just went from being funny to being sad. :shake:
Fuck that. That scene is still funny. Hell back when DMX did that interview, i was dying laughing cause i never thought people were that stupid but damn did he prove me wrong.
Luckily, I avoided criticism for my Obama neutrality by living in Southwest FL, works every time!:tup:
“i’m voting for obama cuz hes black” - riley freeman keeps it real.
I’m sure DMX knew who he was but he just knew him by barry soetoro.
Now you quotin Tubesteak :lol:
So, not to be “that n*gga” or anything, but last night’s episode wasn’t funny at all. Not only was it objectively not funny, it’s probably the least funny episode of the entire series. Although that’s probably not all McGruder’s fault.
It wasn’t funny because it’s 2010, not 2008. Maybe if this episode had been released around the time of the election, or the inaguration, then it would have been way funnier; instead, it came off as a rehash of all the jokes/themes we (black folks and people in general) have been making for the last two years. See:
“Black people think they’re gonna come up because the president is black.” - Kat Williams’ last comedy special; any post election column by Roland Martin
"Jeremiah Wright jokes" - Mike Epps last comedy special (Under Rated)
“White people, people generally thinking shit’s gonna change because Obama got elected and being dissapointed when it doesn’t.” - South Park Episode, "About Last Night"
Or anything Charles Barkley had to say during the election.
“Black politicians only voting for him because he’s black.” - Colin Powell
It’s all been done already and trying to do it two years later just didn’t work IMO.
And before you say, “Oh, you just didn’t get it.” Yes, I did. The point he was trying to make with Huey, i.e. Obama’s election is the death knell for black-issue oriented black leaders that fit the Black Panther/Malcolm X/MLK type mold, I got it. It was done poorly.
The Dick Riding Obama song would have been funnier if we hadn’t already seen it.
The DMX reference would have been funny, but it happened so long ago and DMX is so barely relevant now - (and that hurts, cause that’s my dog) - I’d venture that a lot of people didn’t get it the first time around.
That entire episode came off as a parody of an episode of the Boondocks. Like someone else said, “Hmmm, if MacGruder was going to make an episode about the election, what would he say?” and went out and tried to make an episode.
Again, not all of this is his fault, the episode might have come off better when it was more culturally relevant; but last night was a failure. I thought South Park handled the topic much better/funnier. Since I’ve been lurking for a while, and there were some posts on here that indicate that the reason for the delay was a contractual impasse between CN and MacGruder; or that he was pissed because CN pulled the BET episode-I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and keep watching, but that was wack.
** Now, the irony of this is that people are going to respond to this post like people responded to Huey when he said he was “eh” on Obama. Oh well.**
lol yeah that shit had me dying as well.
i didn’t really have a problem with the lateness of it. they did it in a documentary style and they couldn’t have done the 2 years later part if the episode didn’t come out now.
Dick Riding Obama song fucking killed me.
