    another funny show on adult swim. hide show

    Riley's a stone cold badass from hell.he's like the bart simpson from the hood.i just cant belivee that this show was even on with that much of the use of the language even for Adult swim. either way its funny.the grandpa is played by John witherspoon from the Friday movies and he is just hilarious when he talks.this is what TV was made for for cartoons like these see disney channel dosn't even have a late night block for the older people.this show had a lot more funny adult humor from riley and he's only 12 years old.this is another good show that should of got more attention.

    A hilarious show that starizes African-American Culture. hide show

    Though the show is not as good as the comics, It is still racial, politically, and socially inovative. Do not be put of by its use of corse and foul languge; and its regualar use of the "N" word. The show is very funny and It will make you think about the world around you. Most characters are exagrerrated sterotypes, Ed Wuncler, Big Business. Ed Wuncler III-A white person imersed in African-American Culture Riley- Young black youth who is swayed by Hip-Hop and Uncle Ruckus-Self Hating Black man. Though the show may seem crude, lude, and outlandish, look deeper, and you will find a hidden meaning. Watch the episode "Date with the Health Inspector" which staires the Iraq War. I can not wait for season 3 coming in March 2010.

    HAVE YOU LAUGHING ALL THE WAY. hide show

    Santa was getting mauled and nobody had his back....aint this a b*tch. This show is epic. I remember every line on this show. And I don't know why it's status says Ended. Aaron Mcgruder announced a 3rd season coming this november. And for those people saying this is racist, its not. I'm black, I like to watch this with all my white freinds we all laugh..its situational irony really. I really love this show. Okay, so the show is about 8-year old Riley and I think 10-year old Huey who after their parents die move with the gandfather in a huge house in a suburban area called Woodcrest around the Chicago area. And they have all kinds of adventures..oh and they use the word N*gga excessively

    Finally! An Afican American Anime! hide show

    I hope Riley and Huey don't find out that this is my 2nd review! I love this series! This series was based off a comic strip that I used to read a while back. It centers around a grandfather and his two grandsons (Riley and Huey) that live in a city focused on streotypes. You have no idea where there mother is, there father, even there grandmother, which is kinda werid. This is no "bubble gum and candy" city they live in. NO! There is graffity on the walls, there are curses in almost every sentence, and that's what makes this series fell so real! So in conculsion, I love this series and I would recomend it to anyone! Gansta Job, Aaron!

    Another show that says bad words a lot. hide show

    I like Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force and they are on Adult Swim,including this one.The Boondocks is a funny show.Of course,whoever made this show,he maybe did it too well on the bad word thing.This is something that is cussing a lot.But I love this show and it's plot of the episodes.The characters are funny and Reily is the funniest character ever of all time.Not so terrible is what I score this show of.Or Die Tryin was the funniest episode I've seen.Now,I believe that this episode should have new episodes again.I love this show and I give it a A.
