"WHAT'S MY NAME NYKUGH!" Boondocks Season 4 thread

Best to worst IMO:

Freedomland - Essentially the only episode that felt like classic Boondocks, and Huey’s only dominated one. The Cleveland diss, every character, including Tom and Eddie, being relevant, the fight scene+track, some of the underlying truths played out on why Ruckus used that “Job Application” diss in Stinkmeaner II …just … GLORY.

I too wished Huey whupped Ruckus’ ass before delivering his “Freedom” line not just because he deserved it, and it would mirror Stephen’s downfall in Django, but also… we all wanted a full rematch from “…Or Die Trying”

Stinkmeaner: Begun The Clone Wars Has - IMO, this didn’t completely fail to disappoint. It’s a tall order to be better than the first three, but even at “worst place” was funnier with a neat climax to boot. This episode also had one of the most hilariously hyped intros when Stinkmeaner was talking to the scientist, background ambience and all, that I seriously stopped watching the torrent after Stink smiled: I had to switch to surround sound mode and start over to finish the episode lol. Shin Sagat Grandad was OP, but bored the crowd. Subtle jab at certain FGC players/characters? That’s how I took that, even if it was indirect.

Freedom Ride or Die - TBH I wasn’t looking forward to this episode knowing how far Stinkmeaner IV was going to be and understanding the point with current Grandad being poor and such. But after hearing Rob Paulsen flip my childhood with racial epitaphs I couldn’t look away rofl. A “simple” time deserved a simple pace, and it worked as we get introduced to Diane and Sturdy Harris, genuiously voiced by TRIPLE P Dennis Haysbert. Someone mentioned how Young Grandad resembled another type of black man, one who cares about curing the plights of the black community but much rather not help directly, or with others,
…or at all, unless it directly impedes them. Light skinned niggas right? :coffee: Must give props to the unique fighting scene, the animation - with the exception of Flizzy for a long stretch - has been the lone guarantee of greatness in a season of skepticism, even in a black and white lol. Only thing I didn’t like was Ruckus’ Speed trap, which didn’t amount to anything at all, but everything else he said cancelled that out. Still can’t get this version of “Ain’t Gotta Let Nobody Turn Me Around” out my head, with myself to blame, making an mp3 and YouTube clip immediately afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDXXee_wpkY&app=desktop

Early Bird Special - Wary of an escort service working without A Pimp Named Slickback, the strengths here relied on dissing some black women’s self-esteem to dangerous truths. Because of that, this was another episode that felt like classic BD, with the background musical choices used and the final ingredient, Loyal White Woman®, sprinkled on top like evidence crack. Vanessa was like an A- version of Ebony Brown, and Geraldine/Wilona were legit final bosses to Grandad. I’m beginning to think those two were a continuation of the Breaking Bad parody, and IIRC Wilona was voiced again by the same woman who did Boss Wilona. Such lazy. Anyway, I’ll never forget TSA Robert. That moment was just brilliant animation and voice acting. :lol:

Breaking Grandad - Breaking Bad pilot episode parody. Ruckus on firetruck. Bootyhole bomb. Unknown track during inventory shipments. Managed to address why black women put lethal interjections

in their hair anyway. Pretty much it. My BB bias puts it here.

I Dream Of Siri - I don’t care I liked this one. From the moment Grandad got agitated at the lack of common sense for Apple’s implementation of features on one device, and the fact he’s old, made this an easy episode to write. How often do old people care about features that are worthless to the tech-literate? OVER 99%. I did think a stronger reasoning of spooking Robert’s financial advisor and the cops should’ve got addressed, and the George Lucas bit was forgettable, but an OK episode. To me. :mad:

The New Black - I saw this three times now… Without spoiling much actually decent. What hurts is the climax (which almost symbolically summarizes the overall writing this season) and the second act virtually repeating itself in an alternate scenario. And is it me, or is it always funnier when Grandad insults/mocks Riley compared to Huey? It practically writes itself. It you haven’t seen it yet, which is obviously leaked, two caricatures from the past return, one physical, the other, audibly :lol: I enjoyed that one. The animation was godlike here too.

Flizzy, Good Times and Kardashian banished to Never Watch Again Land. Even these are arranged from Terrible to E.T. Landfill

Did Stinkmeaner just pull an Urkel and became a reoccurring character due to popularity?

I have yet to see episode 10 but from what they’ve shown: Freedom land, Stinkmeaner IV, and Breaking Grandad are the top episodes of this season.

Each of these episodes brings back the memory of the good boondocks and not the shallow shell of a show it has become. From character interaction, music, animation, and funny lines.

Unless Cedric Yarbrough can own that character, he won’t be recurring no mo’.

Forgot the “Complete Series” will be released on Tuesday as well…

Zeus just killing me

Watched Stinkmeanor IV. The environment I was in might have diminished me from enjoying it to the fullest, but I thought it was just an ok episode. The quality jumps around quite a bit this time and damn this season’s about to end already?

Adult Swim’s Facebook states tonight is the SEASON finale, but Complete Series DVD still out tomorrow rofl

I liked this episode.

Was that black dude was supposed to be Deebo from Friday? Made it funnier thinking that

wow season finale tho. You guys notice there was no ed and rummy. There wasn’t any guest voices

Yep he actually voiced him too lol

The dark knight told his future. That’s why he was on that boat lol

He should have known better. He know black people can’t get away with that shit like white people. Also, that was the SEASON finale and not the SERIES finale last night?

He’s been playing convicts since Matlock, he has a long acting “rap sheet”. I’m sure he’ll do fine in prison considering his years and years of practice.

This episode really surprised me. Even though it wasn’t the most polished, I laughed out loud more times than all the other ones, even Stinkmeaner. I think what I loved the most is how it hit on my favorite thing, the uber-political correctness of society and how many “rights” groups get off waiting to be offended than actually looking for justice or fair treatment. If you force a racist or bigot to make a public apology you’re not fixing the issue only placating your ego. It’s not about equality but feeling like you did something, which is just a delusion in the end.

Deebo being the enforcer of the “Special Movement” was a nice touch, as well as Riley’s consistent and on point defiance to everything reasonable. What made me laugh about Riley’s consistent and unnecessary fight against authority, was how they depicted him analyzing the situation in the first person, clearly showing that he’s quite intelligent and knows the smartest move… but then just goes- “Nah, fuck it… My President is black and my lambo is blue nigga!”

Plus, we got a deeper insight on how Uncle Ruckus didn’t just ubiquitously love white people, but white conservatism. I mean the Ronald Reagan in White Heaven bit hinted at it, but his stance on gay people solidified it.

Also “Sweetlove” lmao. That name made laugh the moment it was uttered.

R.I.P. “Nigga You Gay!”

November 6th 2005 - June 23rd 2014

You will be surely missed…

Completely agreed. While not the best overall episode, this one felt more “Boondocks” than the others due to the social awareness and a message that didn’t beat you over the head like the other messages this season.

I love it when “social justice warriors” get called out on their BS, and this episode did it very well. The whole bit with “nigga” vs. gay epithet that has been censored everywhere, including here should have been especially eye-opening to those who were otherwise unaware… It is telling that even on SRK, you can say NIGGA till the cows come home(Lord knows I toss N-bombs with precision), but even attempting to use the word FAGGOT gets you censor-flagged and warned/possibly banned.

***^SEE?


A nice episode, all in all… Deebo was just priceless.

“Y’all ain’t never got any STURAWBURRY MILK!

They didn’t bleep that shit on the torrent release of this ep…how do people get uncensored eps when the tv release is censored? And did anyone catch this?

GOODlove: Black dude
SWEETlove: Gay dude
SLOWlove: retarded dude.

Every time a name was revealed I chuckled, but died when I heard Slowlove, cuz I kinda had a feeling what they were doing when the gay dude was “Sweet”. And every time I hear Slowlove rant “You ain’t s’posed ta SAY dat wurd! Das a BAD wurd!” I just start snickering like Muttley, I can’t help it.

This season got hella leaked uncensored/subtitled lol. Usually happens when DVD drops day after it ends

Yes this episode was the Boondocks I know and love. The strawberry milk part killed me

This episode was great.Aside from the points everyone made, it really showed the flaw in everyone to have the biggest hardship/privilege. It basically shitted on tumblr.

Did Adult Swim show anything special before/after the airing like they did with Season 3’s finale (the tease of S4)? At least a goodbye?

this episode was offensive to everybody but white people :tdown: but well, Ruckus saves the day once again lol. Love how it comes up on TV ‘community leader’ when hes getting interviewed or some shit

Another decent episode. I am disappointed that this was the last episode of the season. It felt shorter than the others and the quality was jumping places at first. It’s been a good one.
