I love your guy’s reaction to my favorite show on t.v… It used to cheer me up when I was in prison. Me and Celly love uncle ruckus juss cuz he’s hella funny 🤣
The Boondocks started off as a comic strip in the newspaper. The "Man you come straight out of a comic strip" was a line from Enter The Dragon by Jim Kelly but he says comic book
This was my fav show growing up I love to see other cultures embrace black culture and I genuinely mean this. I often hate the shows that dont use any of our slang or colloquialism that shows us depicted in a way thats only "acceptable" and often falsely portrayed. So thank you for watching
Huey and Riley are voiced by the same person. Actress Regina king. I'm sorry if you already know this and I'm just regurgitating. I love this show and love watching you guys react to it. Especially the n word parts lol.
Haha, no worries. Yeah that was like one of the first things we've learned about the show, along with a TON of easter eggs and whatnot that everyone was kind enough to share with us. Thanks for kicking it with us and enjoying some laughs (even at us! 😂) Much appreciated 🫶 Stay Silly! Lol 😆-M@
I was a fan of the Comic Strip long before the show ever came on. The Boondocks is one of the greatest pieces of media ever created. As someone from the area near "Woodcrest" so much of the show and comic hit home for me.
Here's a culture references & trivia of The Boondocks episode "Let's Nab Oprah: Cultural references: Gin Rummy's dialogue about "N**** Technology" before the bank robbery is inspired by the conversation between Vincent (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) before they kill Brett in Pulp Fiction. Rummy himself is also voiced by Jackson. The "what" conversation between Riley and Gin Rummy in the car is also inspired by Pulp Fiction, as the conversation is repeated almost verbatim. The title-cards that introduce Riley, Ed, and Gin Rummy at the beginning of the episode mimic the technique used by director Guy Ritchie in his 2000 film Snatch. Gin Rummy says to Riley "It's not wise to upset a Wuncler" after both Ed III and Riley are arguing over the former's loss in the video game. This is a reference to the line: "It's not wise to upset a Wookiee" from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope quoted by Han Solo after R2-D2 defeats Chewbacca in a match of chess. This episode features the songs "Raid," "ALL CAPS" and "Strange Ways" by Madvillain which heavily samples progressive rock band Gentle Giant's song "Funny Ways." A character that resembles Dante, the main villain from the first Fullmetal Alchemist series, appears when Ed and Gin Rummy try to kidnap Oprah at the bookstore. "You come straight out of a comic strip," is a reference to the late Jim Kelly's line from Bruce Lee's 1973 kung fu movie Enter the Dragon and The Boondocks (comic strip) itself. Trivia: In the scene where Huey fights against Riley, Huey can be seen slightly smirking when pressing the blade of his katana against Riley's cheek. This is the first time in the series he has been seen doing this as Huey hardly ever smiles. This marks the first appearance of Bushido Brown.
Ed and Remy are plays on George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Ed has the big W medallion. His grandfather said in the first episode that boy is going to be President. Rummy is Rumsfeld.
Same words when he said from the Bruce Lee movie but instead of comic book he said "Comic Strip" where the Boondocks originated from the newspaper comics

Man… Boondocks has always had some of the cleanest fight scenes. Tbh it’s probably what I remember most about show
R.I.P MF DOOM. If you know you know.
Was just thinking this throughout the entire episode - so many great tracks, including All Caps during Huey's fight with Bushido Brown
A lyrical genius.

The Bank robbery bumping some MF DOOM with Sam Jackson voicing the main robber….. CLASSIC

Ed and Rumley are based on George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld
Jim Rumi might be a bad planner, but a wise man
Gin rummy * 😂

This episode was a commentary on the pass rich kids get
FYI if you've ever watched Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon", the Black Martial artist (Jim Kelly) is who they based Bushido Brown off of.

Thanks again for the info! 💓-Ash
@@WellHelloSilly no probs, buddy. 🤗🫂😊
That's Charlie Murphy and Samuel L Jackson
Instead of catching Oprah, they caught "COL" BIllsby and that fish was one not holding on to.
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To The Boondocks,It Really Makes My Day, Seeing You Guy's React To This Great Cartoon
Ed and Remy are plays on George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Ed has the big W medallion. His grandfather said in the first episode that boy is going to be President. Rummy is Rumsfeld.
Bushido Brown = Jim Kelly
Same words when he said from the Bruce Lee movie but instead of comic book he said "Comic Strip" where the Boondocks originated from the newspaper comics
One of my favorites
👍👍😁-M@

Y'all must've watched these out of order to think as Mr Samuel L Jackson as a guest star at this point in the season.
He was still always billed as a "guest star"
& Charlie Murphy RIP 👑
George W. Bush and Rumsfeld
🎵“My strangest ways”, RIP DOOM
Maya "AND I RISE" Angelou???
