Well, they did a reverse riff on the chinese olympic age cheating…that was chuckle worthy.
They made kick-ball seem like some extreme shit… do they have Japanese animators working on this? I know I heard that Madhouse worked on the second season…
EDIT: Also anyone interested in watching this, go on this website and simply type Boondocks in the search bar…

I think the animators are Korean iirc.
si senor. lesean comments on them on his facebook
Looked more like something from Shaolin Soccer. The whole game was nothing but a big Shaolin Soccer tribute. Naruto is kind of a long shot…
not really since aaron mcgruder is a bigggg anime fan. but the last shot was clearly at leas to me a dbz nod.
Something that should’ve been[media=youtube]n65ZSSwHWhU"[/media]… the whole thing is a reference to the USA vs. Chinese in the olympics(obviously), and I caught one where Ed slipped on the ball and grandad said “good grief”(Charlie Brown) and that’s about all I caught lol…
i dunno if good grief is a charlie brown reference…grandad says that all the time and so does the guy who voices him.
It sure did seem like it, look at Ed’s part when he slips and bust his ass and at the part take a look at this picture… looks real familiar don’t it?
It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it…
Yeah, the whole arm snapping thing? Straight up DBZ…SS2 Gohan in that bitch.

2:15 kinda reminds me of Huey’s attempt to stop the last kick.
So far all the references I see are Samurai Champloo, Shaolin Soccer, DBZ, Blood Sport, Charlie Brown, and the olympics. Miss any?
How common is the “Meet your opponent in the forest before battle” trope anyway?
not really a reference per say but the asian guy on hueys team was dante basco aka rufio aka zuko.
Aka Fukijama (Entourage), and Jake Long too
Blazing Saddles
“Dock that chink a days pay for napping on the job.”
Line taken right from the movie
it’s reasonably common. in a lot of cliche sports movies before the big game the opponent appears to reinvigorate the protagonist by calling them out…the forest just gives it that hk action/anime feel.
Promo for the next ep, but beware, there’s kind of a spoiler there:
Ruckus and Jimmy Rebel
[details=Spoiler]
Apparently, Ruckus and his “idol” Jimmy Rebel meet up and Rebel somehow gets over Ruckus being black.

That song is controversy in drag. :wasted:
What a controversial episode that one is going to be. The song was offensive and funny at the same time, lol.
