  • Did you guys know this show has stereotypical humor?

    To all those who have dissenting opinions about this show:

    This show is stereotypical, and that's what makes it hilarious. Did you want to watch normal black people instead? Or perhaps you wanted them to slip black people into an anime and have them act normal with the only difference being the skin color? Get over yourselves, it's just comedy... If you don't like that kind of humor, don't give other people grief and act like your opinion is THE truth, it's YOUR opinion. I don't have a single friend that acts like any of these characters and thats what makes it hilarious to me. I deal with normal people everyday, I don't wanna go home after a long day of work and watch normal people again!! (that's a Patton Oswalt reference btw) I don't care what ethnicity you are, you should be laughing your asses off, because it's so ridiculously funny. If you thought you'd learn something about blacks watching this show, then that makes you a one dimensional character.moreless

  • Another show where white people have to praise and cheer so it doesn't seem that they are coming off racist.

    Well, I have read many reviews of this show before it came out and saw all those little ads on Cartoon Network. I told myself not to judge it until I saw the entire episode. A lot of times I misjudge some of the new shows on Adult Swim like Stoker & Hoop and The Venture Brothers. Now it is 30 minutes since this show has started. This whole show is just about black people, once again blaming whites for all the problems in the world and how there is a conspiracy against them. We get it. Whites are the Devil! GET OVER IT! Put some jokes in the show. This is Adult Swim on Sunday night. The shows at this time are supposed to be funny. All this show is, is just blacks repeating the same mantra of white people being evil. I'm really disappointed at the people of Cartoon Network. They decided to be socially relevant instead of providing laughs and irreverent comedy to their core and loyal viewers like they have been doing for the past couple years. And the only reason why I even gave this show a 1 is because the person playing the grandpa was the father in the Wayans Brother show. Oh yeah, the person writing this review is not a white person. I'm a slope, no, yellow, no, I mean I'm Asian. Had to be PC.moreless

    Adult Swims current Sunday line-up is in trouble. Not only do we have Squidbillies and 12oz. Mouse, now we have Boondocks, a new show thats whole premise is to be *shock* controversial! Here in lies the problem, while it tries so hard to be controversial, it forgets to be funny. Now I know around 70% reading this out there are saying "OMGWTF, your just not have good sense of humore" or "You just can't handle the edge of it". Well, simply, no. Next time you watch it, actually pay attention to the jokes, and think why is this funny. Don't fall into the crowd that likes it just because it's so "controversial". The animation, while being clean and well done, is strangly reminicent of "Totally Spies". I'm not sure why they went with an anime style and I don't think it works too well for it. Voices are well done and feel natural for the show except the younger boy sounds like a girl to the point of someone I know mistaking him for one. As with most shows, I may give this one another chance at a later time. As for controversy, go with the actual trailblazer South Park or even the new Minoriteam which looks promising.moreless

  • It's about a black family living in a white rich neighborhood, and it's full of great racism against white people

    I don't like this show, it's got some funny parts but it's way too damn racist. this is the kind of crap us whit epoeple try to avoid thinking about what black people think about us. This is family guy i guess gfor black people since family guy does the same nearly for every other race, but i personally don't like it. Hope it doesn't take over the network.
