''Thugaboo'', also known as ''The Boo Crew'', was a duology of animated specials created by Creator/TheWayansFamily.

These specials center on a group of neighborhood kids known as The Boo Crew, and the wacky situations they get into, as well as the lessons they learn. Think of it as having the animation style of ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'', with the life lessons of ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids'' and the child-like snarkiness of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''. The Boo Crew consists of:
* '''D-Roc''', the leader, an aspiring rapper, and get-rich-quick schemer extraordinaire.
* '''Dee-Dee''', D-Roc's loud-mouthed sister.
* '''DJ''', a white guy who thinks he's black.
* '''Lissette''', a girl who wants to be a singer.
* '''Slim''', a BigEater.
* '''Dirty''', a filthy boy who speaks in gibberish.
* '''Money''', D-Roc's talking dog.
* '''Gwenny''', an "eco-friendly" valley girl.
* '''Chad''', Gwenny's brother who's always being injured.
* '''Soo Young''', a girl whose father has many jobs.
* '''Baby Luiz''', Lissette's baby brother who can talk.

The two specials consist of ''Sneaker Madness'' and ''A Miracle on D-Roc Street''. They aired on Creator/{{Nicktoons}} in 2006, and are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzkaVeR9GpE&t=316s officially]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQtFHPpdWrc available]] on [=YouTube=].
