| 10 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AdamWest |
| 11 | |
| 12 | A defense attorney who was hired to defend R. Kelly from charges of sexual contact with a minor (urinating on a teen girl). |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: He looks like and is based on the Jewish lawyer William Kunstler, but is voiced by Adam West who isn’t Jewish. |
| 15 | * AmoralAttorney: Not only is his client very obviously guilty, but he also uses ''ad hominem'' personal attacks against the prosecutor Tom [=DuBois=] as part of his strategy. |
| 16 | * BlatantLies: He denies that Kelly urinated on a teenage girl, despite a [[OrgyOfEvidence videotape clearly showing him committing that act]] (while giving away his face, name, occupation, and even a Social Security number). |
| 17 | * ChewbaccaDefense: He uses irrelevant arguments for his defense strategy; he argues that {{ephebophilia}} isn't wrong, because it was common in America a few centuries ago. He also excuses Kelly by noting that he stuck to his own race, unlike ADA [=DuBois=] who [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt married a white woman]]. |
| 18 | * ColdHam: How he performs the defence. |
| 19 | * InsaneTrollLogic: See ChewbaccaDefense above. |
| 20 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He is a parody of defense attorney [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kunstler William Kunstler]] famous for representing radical activists. |

| 28 | |
| 29 | A prostitute whom Robert dated in "Guess Hoe's Coming To Dinner". She works for A Pimp Named Slickback. |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: When Huey calls her on being a lazy hoe, she agrees with him, also recognizing that Granddad is oblivious to her flaws even though it’s obvious what she’s in it for. |
| 32 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: She has blonde hair and light skin, but speaks with an ebonic accent. Riley calls her a "fake-ass Music/MariahCarey", the latter of whom is mixed. |
| 33 | * BigEater: She packs it away at the Red Lobster restaurant, and then asks for more food when she gets back to the Freeman house. |
| 34 | * GoldDigger: She dates Robert because he's obviously way above her social class. A song called "Gold Digger" even plays in the background at one point. |
| 35 | * HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Maybe. She recognizes her faults, but doesn’t make much of an effort to change her ways because she likes the lifestyle Robert afforded her. She also reverts back to her old ways after claiming she’s going to better herself. |
| 36 | * InsistentTerminology: "Cristal, like the champagne." |
| 37 | * LazyBum: Huey and Riley complain about how she doesn't do any work around the house, instead just leeching off Robert's food and money. |
| 38 | * ManipulativeBitch: She utilizes crocodile tears to garner sympathy from Robert in order to manipulate him into thinking that Riley and Huey are treating her poorly without a reason. |
| 39 | * MsFanservice: Well it's part of her job after all. |
| 40 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Cristal" might not be her real name. Huey notes that girls named after liquor are usually hoes. |
| 41 | * StatusQuoIsGod: [[spoiler:At first it seems that she takes Robert's advice to start a clean and honest life by getting an education and a real job, but instead she just runs back to Slickback, not knowing any different lifestyle.]] |

| 48 | |
| 49 | An imaginary villain who haunts Tom [=DuBois=]' dreams. He's a prison inmate who is constantly trying to rape him. |
| 50 | ---- |
| 51 | * AllJustADream: Fortunately for Tom, the Health Inspector is only a figment of his nightmares. Not that it's any more comforting for him, because of his paranoid phobia of anal prison rape. |
| 52 | * BlackComedyRape: His being a rapist is PlayedForLaughs. |
| 53 | * DepravedHomosexual: He ''really'' wants to make Tom his "bitch". |
| 54 | * GagPenis: His dick is so long that it reaches ''down to the floor''! |
| 55 | * PrisonRape: After Tom drops the soap in a prison shower, the Health Inspector demands that he bend down and pick it up... |

| 63 | A drug dealer who attempted to murder Gangstalicious. After failing the first time, he and two of his goons chase Gangstalicious and Riley across town to finish him off. |
| 64 | ---- |
| 65 | * {{Gayngster}}: It turns out that Lincoln and Gangstalicious used to be secret gay lovers; this whole blood feud between them was actually a breakup gone horribly awry. |
| 66 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: When Lincoln and his men finally get their hands on Gangstalicious, they all fire dozens of bullets at him in point-blank range... and they completely miss! Then they just give up on killing him in the end. |
| 67 | * PsychoExBoyfriend: To Gangstalicious, whom he wants to murder after their falling out. |

| 75 | Huey's teacher at J. Edgar Hoover Elementary, who helps him produce a school Christmas play. |
| 76 | ---- |
| 77 | * HorribleJudgeofCharacter: He wanted Huey to be friends with him because Huey is African American. He wanted Huey to direct a Christmas play in hopes to see an African Amercian prespective of the holiday. He is unaware of much of an apathy Huey is. |
| 78 | * NiceGuy: He's very polite and genuinely interested in helping out Huey with his project. |
| 79 | * PoliticalOvercorrectness: He is "culturally sensitive" and gives a lecture on Kwanzaa to his bored students, much to their apathy. |
| 80 | * StrawCharacter: He's a well-meaning but clueless white liberal. Although, he is willing to sacrifice his job so that Huey's performance can be played as Huey intended, which shows some growth on his part. |

| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * ActualPacifist: Just like he was in real life. However, sticking to his pacifist ideals in the aftermath of 9/11 results in him being branded as a traitor by Fox News. |
| 90 | * AllJustADream: ''The entire episode'' he appears in turns out to have been imagined by Huey. |
| 91 | * AlternateHistory: Within that dream, it speculates what would happen if King wasn't murdered in 1968, instead getting incapacitated for 32 years, and then waking up and reacting to a whole new world... |
| 92 | * BreakTheCutie: He winds up getting his entire world-view and faith in humanity shattered by over the course of his episode, culminating in him having all his hope for a post-racial America shattered and giving up on everything entirely, spending the last years of his life disillusioned and miserable. |
| 93 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: After awakening from his three-decade coma, King has a great deal of difficulty with catching up and adapting to the culture of 21st century America. |
| 94 | * GrumpyOldMan: King becomes increasingly disillusioned, frustrated, and pessimistic over the course of the episode. Read below for more info. |
| 95 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[AlternateHistory Though his real-life death gets subverted for the sake of this episode's story]]. |
| 96 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: While attending a party filled with many annoying black guests, King finally loses his patience and begins a very fiery rant, [[StopBeingStereotypical scathingly criticizing]] [[UncleTomfoolery their behavior]]. |
| 97 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After delivering that rant, King has lost all his hope for a post-racial America, so he spends the last years of his life in Vancouver, Canada. |

| 105 | ---- |
| 106 | * AffablyEvil: He's a very polite, friendly, soft-spoken criminal who goes from being an accomplice to vandalism, [[spoiler:to starting a CarChase with the police, and he even tries shooting at them!]] |
| 107 | * FromCamouflageToCriminal: According to rumor, he's a UsefulNotes/GulfWar veteran who [[ShellShockedVeteran suffered a nervous breakdown]]. [[spoiler:And not to mention that he gets involved in a crazy chase with the police, while firing a gun at them.]] |
| 108 | * HypocriticalHumor: He tells Riley that he doesn't like violence. [[spoiler:But apparently, trying to shoot at the cops doesn't count.]] |
| 109 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's a parody of {{Bob Ross|Rib}} from ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting''. |
| 110 | * NoNameGiven: He is never referred to by any name. |
| 111 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Both 'authority' and 'reasonable' are perhaps in question, but he is one of the only adult characters to not only earn Riley's trust, but also genunely wish well for him. |
| 112 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After he assists Riley with his final graffiti mural, [[spoiler:he attempts to flee the police by car. Whether he managed to escape, or if instead he got arrested or even killed, is unknown.]] |

| 118 | |
| 119 | An old friend of Robert, whom he knew from way back when they served in the US Army Air Forces in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Apparently not a good friend, as they split due to Moe's abrasive personality, and eventually a dispute over a woman they both sought after. After Moe's death, Robert (begrudgingly) attends his funeral in Chicago. |
| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Robert looks at all of Moe's photos with prominent African-American historical figures with resentment. He also ended up in a relationship with Maybelline, a woman Robert loved back in the day. |
| 122 | * ArmedFarces: Back when he and Robert served in the Tuskegee Airmen, Moe preferred to just goof off by telling bad jokes, while flying around and shooting wildly. This almost got Robert killed during an engagement against the Lutwaffe. |
| 123 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: Like Robert, Moe has interacted with many Civil Rights leaders and African-American historical figures, with the only difference between them being that these aforementioned figures seem to respect Moe. |
| 124 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: His video will shows that he at least didn't lose his sense of humor in his last days. |
| 125 | * FakeUltimateHero: He tried to take credit for some of Robert's wartime medals and achievements. |
| 126 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: It turns out that everyone who knew Moe had this relationship with him. Everyone is left wondering what they actually liked about him. |
| 127 | * HatedByAll: After Robert loses his cool during the eulogy scene, everyone ends up revealing to hold the same disdain with Moe as the former did, wondering what they ever saw in him. |
| 128 | * TheHyena: You'll lose track of how often he laughs at his own stupid jokes. |
| 129 | * {{Jerkass}}: He was apparently well known for acting like a dick, and bringing out the worst in everyone. |
| 130 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler:In his video will, Moe promised something nice for Robert... which was just a jar of foam peanuts.]] |
| 131 | * PosthumousCharacter: Robert remembers him through flashbacks and a video will. |
| 132 | * ThePrankster: Not even his own impending death would end his capacity for annoying jokes and pranks. |
| 133 | * TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Parts of his video will include begging Robert to go through with his wishes, telling him to sit back down when he happens to get up out of his chair, and a pleading glance made until the exact moment Robert agrees to them.

| 140 | Huey's former (best) friend from Chicago. When the Freemans return to Chicago for Moe's funeral, Huey finds out the hard way that Cairo isn't really interested in a reunion, due to Cairo's lingering resentment against Huey for leaving. Things only get uglier from there on. |
| 141 | ---- |
| 142 | * DisproportionateRetribution: He treats Huey with absolute disdain simply because he moved away to a white-majority suburban town in another state, something that Huey didn't want and had no say in the matter. |
| 143 | * {{Jerkass}}: Cairo insults Huey, calling him a "corny nigga" for moving to "Whitecrest", which provokes Huey into starting a brawl with him. [[spoiler:Also see RejectedApology.]] |
| 144 | * RejectedApology: [[spoiler:When Huey offers a gift basket to apologize for fighting with Cairo, he spitefully responds by headbutting Huey and giving him a bloody nose. What a dick!]] |
| 145 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With his new best friend, Dewey Jenkins. |
| 146 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:Considering the rather rude way he rejected Huey's sincere attempt to mend their broken friendship.]] |
| 147 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Until Huey's family left Chicago for Woodcrest. When Huey returns, he finds that Cairo doesn't really consider him a friend anymore, as he blames Huey for leaving him behind. [[spoiler:Their friendship is definitely broken for good in the ending.]] |

| 153 | |
| 154 | Dewey is Cairo's new best friend after Huey moved to Woodcrest. |
| 155 | ---- |
| 156 | * DirtyCoward: For all of his disrespectful talk towards the Freeman brothers, Dewey is shown to be a coward when confronted by one of them. He is seen running away from Riley while his best friend, Cairo, is fighting Huey at Moe's funeral. |
| 157 | * DreadlockRasta: Wears dreadlocks and fancies himself as a revolutionary. Keyword: [[MalcolmXerox "fancies"]]. |
| 158 | * {{Foil}}: He's this to Huey. While both are/were Cairo's best friends and are self-proclaimed revolutionaries, their similarities stop there. Dewey has a shallow view of what a revolutionary should be (i.e. reading poems and wearing sandals, head wraps, and capris) while Huey is more focused on standing up for human rights and less on attire. Also, Dewey is shown to be more cowardly than Huey. While Huey has no problem punching Cairo when his grandfather is insulted, Dewey runs away when confronted by Riley. His attacks against the Freeman brothers are only verbal, while Huey is more quiet and willing to get physical. |
| 159 | * GiftedlyBad: He thinks he's good at poetry but is actually terrible. His poem about death at Moe's funeral is met with Riley booing him, Huey calling him corny, and the rest of the audience looking unamused. |
| 160 | * {{Jerkass}}: He acts condescending towards the Freeman brothers because of them moving to a predominantly White neighborhood and mockingly calls them "the [[Creator/ParisHilton Hilton]] sisters". He's especially condescending towards Huey for not fitting his own superficial standards of being a revolutionary. |
| 161 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Dewey clearly believes himself to be an expert on African-American culture and styles himself as a revolutionary intellectual, constantly lecturing other people about numerous social issues. It’s pretty clear from the get-go that he only has a superficial knowledge of the topics he discusses and is really just a disingenuous poser. |
| 162 | * MalcolmXerox: Like Huey, Dewey is a self-described revolutionary, except he's more shallow in his approach. He believes being "down wit' the struggle" involves reading poetry, wearing capris, headwraps and sandals, and even goes as far as to become a Muslim — a reference to Black nationalist Muslim groups like the Nation of Islam — and yet he doesn't even know the basic Islamic greeting. [[note]]The greeting is "As-salamu alaykum", which is translates to "Peace be upon you" in Arabic.[[/note]] Even worse, he mispronounces it as "salami, eggs and bacon", two of which are typically pork products, which are strictly prohibited by Islam. |
| 163 | * NoTrueScotsman: Dewey criticizes Huey's status as a revolutionary because he doesn't have any poems and is not wearing sandals, headwraps, and capri pants. |
| 164 | * OverlyLongName: Subverted. He introduces himself as Dewey "Obababa-ooo, [[Music/MichaelJackson Mamma-say, Mamma-sah, Mamma-ma-cu-sah]]" Jenkins, but his name is just Dewey Jenkins. |
| 165 | * ReboundBestFriend: He's this to Cairo after Huey moves to Woodcrest. |

| 173 | ---- |
| 174 | * CosmicPlaything: Due to the misfortune of simply being in the vicinity when it happened, Shabazz gets incarcerated and scheduled to be killed for a crime he didn't even commit. |
| 175 | -->'''Shabazz:''' "Ain't this a bitch." |
| 176 | * DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Thanks to a sudden blackout caused by a lightning bolt, his execution by electric chair is thwarted. The power then returns just in time for the Governor to call in and commute his death sentence to life imprisonment.]] |
| 177 | * MiscarriageOfJustice: A very extreme case of this. Shabazz was {{misblamed}} for shooting Faulkner, even though there was a [[OrgyOfEvidence mountain of evidence]] left behind by the real killer, [[KarmaHoudini Eli Gorbinsky]] (who even publicly confessed while committing the murder in front of many witnesses). |
| 178 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Shabazz K. Milton Berle is an obvious parody of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Both of them are Black Panthers who were controversially convicted and imprisoned for the murders of police officers. Mumia's supporters claim that he's an innocent man who was wrongly incarcerated. According to ''The Boondocks'', Shabazz is a ''very obviously innocent'' man who somehow got thrown into prison anyway. |

| 200 | ---- |
| 201 | * DeadpanSnarker: Ghostface makes some rather sharp remarks. For example he has this to say to Huey, who can't believe his own prophetic vision that Stinkmeaner's soul has escaped from Hell for revenge: |
| 202 | -->'''Ghostface Killah:''' "What you gonna tell me? Ghosts don't exist? What the fuck do I look like to you?" |
| 203 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Like the White Shadow, Ghostface Killah only appears to Huey, so he might just be a figment of his mind. This gets lampshaded. |
| 204 | -->'''Stinkmeaner:''' "Look at that little nigga over there! He talkin' to himself! Haha! You got an ImaginaryFriend?" |
| 205 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: Ghostface Killah appears as, well, a [[{{Pun}} ghost]]. This is immediately lampshaded. |
| 206 | -->'''Huey:''' "Ghostface Killah isn't even dead!" |

| 214 | |
| 215 | Luna is the antagonist of "Attack of the Killer Kung-Fu Wolf Bitch". She was briefly Robert's girlfriend, but turned out to be a deadly martial artist who was emotionally unstable. She doesn't take his rejection well... |
| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * AdviceBackfire: Constantly given by her female friend, Nicole. Later in the episode, it becomes so outrageous that it seems Nicole is ''intentionally'' giving her bad advice to push her into homicidal rages, either out of loneliness that Luna manages to get dates or simple sadism. |
| 218 | * AffablyEvil: Luna is friendly at first and she just wants to date Robert, until he dumps her due to his fear of her abilities. And then she has a VillainousBreakdown. |
| 219 | * AndShowItToYou: She ripped out somebody's heart back in the [[Film/{{Bloodsport}} Kumite]] ([-[[RunningGag WA-CHA!]]-]), all completed with this line: |
| 220 | -->[[Franchise/MortalKombat '''FINISH HIM!''']] |
| 221 | * AttemptedRape: After kidnapping Robert, she locks Huey and Riley inside their room, and threatens to sodomize Robert with a broomstick if either of them made a sound. Robert immediately tells them to quiet down after this. |
| 222 | * AxCrazy: ''Oh yes''. Especially when she kidnapped and tortured Robert. |
| 223 | * BerserkButton: Any time she thinks that a man has wronged her somehow, whether it's physical or emotional abuse, or just being lied to. |
| 224 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She's beautiful and charming on the surface, but is actually dogshit insane and violent. |
| 225 | * BloodKnight: She proudly recalls the time that she fought in the Kumite ([-[[RunningGag WHA-CHA!]]-]) contest and killed a man with her bare hands, which disturbs the Freemans. |
| 226 | * BrokenBird: Her past relationships has reduced her to this. Her friend Nichole does nothing to help. |
| 227 | * CrazyCatLady: Luna owns a pack of three dogs and ''fifteen wolves'', and claims to have them all under her control. Hence Granddad's nickname for her, the "[[TitleDrop Killer Kung-Fu Wolf Bitch]]". |
| 228 | * CuteAndPsycho: Despite her sexy appearance and overall nice demeanor, she's pretty unstable. |
| 229 | * CuteBruiser: Definitely. She once ripped a man's heart out with her bare hands. |
| 230 | * DarkActionGirl: As a master of White Lotus Kung Fu, she once overpowered and killed a man much bigger than her. And she later beats the utter shit out of [[KungFuKid Huey]] and Robert. |
| 231 | ** She mentions becoming a White Lotus master was real hard with a PsychoticSmirk, to which Huey remarks, "They're all dead." His comment insinuated he didn't believe her having learned the style, but the CurbStompBattle quickly proves she was entirely truthful. This leaves the implication that she was the one who killed the masters at some point during or after her training. |
| 232 | * DarkAndTroubledPast / FreudianExcuse: Luna was born into a broken household, with an AbusiveDad who [[DomesticAbuse beat up her mom]] over [[DisproportionateRetribution petty reasons like cooking the chicken too cold]]. She later ran way and dated a series of boyfriends, all of whom were also physically and/or emotionally abusive to her (including a [[TriadsAndTongs Chinese gangster]] who ironically enough, also hit her over [[GenerationXerox cooking the chicken too cold]]). |
| 233 | -->'''[[AbusiveParents Luna's father]] / [[TriadsAndTongs Kenny Wu]]:''' BITCH, THIS CHICKEN IS COLD! ''(slap)'' |
| 234 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Luna is easily convinced by Nicole to outright ''kill'' Granddad just for cutting their weekend short. |
| 235 | --> '''Nicole:''' Now remember, this is not your fault. This man took your weekend from you. Two days you'll never get back! You gotta kill him. |
| 236 | * DrivenToSuicide: Her friend Nicole inadvertently causes her kill herself. |
| 237 | * FatalFlaw: Luna has almost zero agency. Because she's been on the receiving end of so much abuse her whole life, her self-esteem is lower than dinosaur bones. So she unconsciously seeks out more dominant personalities (like her abusive exes or bad friends like Nicole) and revictimizes herself. All she wants is for someone to love her, but she's trapped in a toxic mindset that ultimately leads to her suicide all because she misinterpreted her friend's advice. |
| 238 | * FemmeFatale: Not by choice though. |
| 239 | * InterruptedSuicide: Only most likely because Granddad and Tom [[spoiler:were in the same room and tied up when Luna contemplated whether she should blow herself up with a grenade]]. |
| 240 | * LargeHam: "If I could just find a man to love me-he-he-he-he *gasp* eh-he-he-he-he *gasp* eh-he- *beat* [[OverlyLongGag -eee]]." |
| 241 | * MeaningfulName: Luna is a lunatic. It also invokes the Moon, which in some cultures is associated with causing madness, and her love of wolves. |
| 242 | * MediumAware: When she arrives at the Freeman's home, her [=MySpace=] photo appears beside her and she looks over at it. |
| 243 | * NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Though this was more because of how Luna uses her fighting skills for wicked purposes. That is what prompts Robert to cancel his date with her, [[FromBadToWorse a rejection that Luna doesn't take very well]]... |
| 244 | * ObliviouslyEvil: At least at first. She seems genuinely uncomprehending of how repelling her murderous candor is to regular people, so assumes everything must be wrong with ''them'' when they react badly. |
| 245 | * PsychoExGirlfriend: She very quickly becomes one to Robert, when his attempt at dumping her after their first date goes horribly wrong. |
| 246 | * PsychopathicWomanchild: Despite being a very skilled and deadly kung-fu warrior, she's very emotionally unstable due to [[FreudianExcuse suffering a lot of unresolved daddy issues[=/=]boyfriend problems]]. After all these years, she's still a sad and insecure little girl on the inside. |
| 247 | * SheFu: She beats the living shit out of Huey, chokes out Granddad, and tosses Tom across the room by the neck with her legs. |
| 248 | * SkilledButNaive: A literal example; she's practically a trained killer, but easily fell for Granddad's UsefulNotes/FidelCastro lie. |
| 249 | * StepfordSmiler: First she's a pretty bombshell, then a dangerous psycho, until finally she's just a sad girl. |
| 250 | * StrawFeminist: Her best friend Nicole is convinced that there are no good (black) men. Her beliefs have also rubbed off on Luna. |
| 251 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: Luna hangs onto Nicole's every word, even if she tells her to kill Granddad, [[spoiler:or herself]]. |
| 252 | * TragicVillain: Her past relationships ''sucked''. |
| 253 | * UnusualEuphemism: Her "friendly sparring match" with Huey [[CurbStompBattle wasn't so friendly...]][[spoiler: for Huey, that is]]. |
| 254 | * VillainousBreakdown: Triggered by Robert [[BerserkButton lying to her]], she becomes [[AxCrazy violently angry]], but eventually just [[DespairEventHorizon breaks down into tears]]. |
| 255 | * WaifFu: Luna is also much stronger than she looks, as she is seen beating the crap out of a guy three times her size in the Kumite ([-[[RunningGag HIYAA!]]-]) flashback, and ''rips his heart right out of his chest''. She also laments wiping the floor with Huey by ''punching a hole in the wall''. |
| 256 | * WhamLine: "I thought you were going to say that I was crazy and you didn't want to see me again ''like the others''." |
| 257 | * WomanScorned: She rose hell when she found out Granddad lied to her about attending UsefulNotes/FidelCastro's birthday party. |
| 258 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She might be an undeniably incredibly dangerous woman, but given that her entire life was one traumatic event right after the other and that she's been mistreated by everyone in her life without her being able to even find help or any kind of positive influence, it's hard not to feel bad for her. |
| 259 | * WorldsBestWarrior: She's a White Lotus master and has Huey's ''number'' in combat. She goes in depth about participating in the Kumite ([-[[RunningGag WATAAA!]]-]), a martial arts tournament made up of the best fighters around and admits that it's a death match. So considering she survived it means she probably won. |

| 276 | * TheLoad |

| 286 | |
| 287 | A hapless teacher at Huey's and Riley's school, who is woefully unequipped to interact with his new rush of black students. He is Huey's and Jazmine's teacher in the comics, but Riley's teacher (for one episode) in the show; in both cases, he blunders through dealing with his students in ways that increasingly annoy them. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * ApatheticTeacher: Huey perceives him that way, thinking of him as a product of a school system that seeks to ostracize their non-white students. While he's not entirely wrong, it's only because he has absolutely no idea what he's doing, and he's at least less blatantly prejudiced than their principal. |
| 290 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: When the focus in the series shifted away from the inner city kids living in an environment that didn't understand them and more onto the kids themselves, Petto completely disappeared from the strip. |
| 291 | * DemotedToExtra: While not a major character by any means in the comic, he had a decent presence in its early years. Unlike Cindy, he was unable to turn that into more than a single appearance on the show. |
| 292 | * DumbassHasAPoint: He genuinely doesn’t understand why usage of the word "nigga" would create tensions (and thus why nobody should say it), but he isn't wrong that people like Riley uses the word ''all the time'' since the word is nowadays used far more often as just another slang for "friend" or "homie" (which Mr. Petto meant when he said it) than in actual hatefilled context. |
| 293 | * InnocentBigot: He's far less racist than he is simply an idiot. His only experience with black people is through watching {{Blaxploitation}} movies (though he at least seems aware that this is probably not a good idea), and his every attempt to connect with his black students comes off as [[https://hueyfreemanonlyspeaksthetruth.tumblr.com/post/138518075522/ignorant-white-teachers-be-like-1st-panel-mr patronizing at best, ridiculous and insensitive at worst]]. Taken to the extreme in the show, where he throws Riley's flippant use of "nigga" back in his face and seems to have absolutely no idea why it would be a problem. |
| 294 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Often, though best shown when he meets Jazmine and spends the entire strip struggling to ask whether or not she's black. |

| 306 | * FriendlyEnemy: She's this to Rollo. Justified since both of them aren't actually passionate about their supposed causes: they both play games for money. |
| 307 | * JerkassFacade: Outwardly, she's a nasty bigot. In private, she's a pretty chill, albeit shit-talking woman. |

| 322 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Donald Faison |
| 323 | |
| 324 | Catcher Freeman is the protagonist of "The Story of Catcher Freeman". [[ShroudedInMyth According to folklore]], Catcher was a freed slave who lived in the 1860s; [[RashomonStyle but the exact details of his story are disputed by Robert, Ruckus, and Huey]]. |
| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * ActionHero / OneManArmy: According to Robert, Catcher was a militant who actively fought for slave liberation by killing countless slavers with guns, swords, and his bare hands. He also forms a slave militia to attack the Lynchwater plantation. |
| 327 | * BeastMan / NatureHero: Ruckus described Catcha as behaving like a wild animal, and used the natural environment to his advantage when tracking down runaway slaves; such as smelling their scents like a dog, ambushing them from the water like a shark, and jumping across trees like a monkey. |
| 328 | * BoomerangBigot / HappinessInSlavery: According to Ruckus, Catcha was a good slave like Tobias, both of them loyal to Massa Colonel. In fact, Catcha was so loyal that he recaptured fugitive slaves and returned them to their owners. |
| 329 | * CompositeCharacter: |
| 330 | ** Robert compares Catcher Freeman to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Turner Nat Turner]], UsefulNotes/MalcolmX, UsefulNotes/BarackObama, and {{Franchise/Batman}}. |
| 331 | ** Ruckus depicts Catcha Freeman as essentially a black {{Literature/Tarzan}}-like figure. |
| 332 | ** [[spoiler:Huey reveals that the so-called "Catcher Freeman" is actually a partially fictitious character based on Tobias ([[FakeUltimateHero who took credit for winning the slave revolt]], which was mostly the work of the real hero Thelma).]] |
| 333 | * DumbMuscle / ManChild: Ruckus claims that Catcha was a simple-minded brute who [[HulkSpeak spoke]] [[ThirdPersonPerson in the third-person]], and was a virgin until he met Thelma. |
| 334 | * InsistentTerminology / MeaningfulName: Ruckus claims that Catcher Freeman's name was actually Catch''a'' Freeman (as in "catch a free man"), because he didn't free slaves, instead he recaptured runaways. |
| 335 | * MemeticBadass: In-universe, Robert and Ruckus both claimed that Catcher was an awesome hero, though for different reasons. [[spoiler:Subverted when Huey reveals that Catcher was actually based on [[DirtyCoward Tobias Lynchwater]] [[FakeUltimateHero of all people]].]] |
| 336 | * MessianicArchetype: Robert described him as being a charismatic leader who was a hero to all black slaves (except [[BoomerangBigot Tobias]]). |
| 337 | * PosthumousCharacter: As he died sometime in the 19th century, presumably of old age. |
| 338 | * ScaryBlackMan: Robert and Ruckus both believed that he was a tall, muscular, and intimidating negro who could kick your ass. |

| 346 | Thelma is Catcher's {{love|Interest}}r and later wife. She was a field slave who worked for Massa Colonel, but she eventually assisted in a slave revolt against him. |
| 347 | ---- |
| 348 | * ActionHeroine: In all versions of the story she plays some role in the slave rebellion, though downplayed with Robert's and Ruckus' tales. |
| 349 | ** According to Robert, at the last minute she [[TookALevelInBadass shoots Tobias with a pistol to save Catcher]]. |
| 350 | ** According to Ruckus, [[DarkActionGirl she]] commanded the other slaves to savagely finish off Massa and his men when they were about to surrender. |
| 351 | ** [[spoiler:Huey reveals that Thelma personally led the other slaves to battle, and even fought in a sword duel against the Colonel himself.]] |
| 352 | * AttemptedRape: According to Robert, Thelma was about to be raped by a slave catcher until Catcher stabbed him and saved her. [[spoiler:Or according to Huey, [[DamselOutOfDistress Thelma saved herself]] by grabbing the slave catcher's gun and shooting him before he could rape her.]] |
| 353 | * ChekhovsGun: A rather literal example. In Robert's tale, Catcher gives Thelma a revolver to defend herself with, which is later discovered by Massa Colonel. In the climax, she uses the gun to kill Tobias before he could shoot Catcher. |
| 354 | * DamselInDistress: According to Robert, she had to be rescued by Catcher at least twice, first from some slave catchers, and later from Massa Colonel's forces. |
| 355 | * FemmeFatale / TheVamp: According to Ruckus, she was an evil seductress who tricked Catcha by having sex with him in a barn, and then chained him down so that he couldn't stop the slave revolt. |
| 356 | * GenerationXerox: [[spoiler: Huey seems to inherit Thelma's eyes, revolutionary spirit, and swordsmanship.]] |
| 357 | * HappilyEverAfter [[spoiler:Huey ultimately reveals that Thelma married Tobias of all people, and that relatively speaking they lived happily ever after.]] |
| 358 | * TheIngenue: Robert stated that she was a pure and saintly woman, unlike the wicked and slutty jezebel that Ruckus claimed she was. |
| 359 | * LoveInterest: She serves as the girlfriend (and later the wife) of Catcher. [[spoiler:But Huey reveals that she actually married Tobias.]] |
| 360 | * MadonnaWhoreComplex: Oddly enough, she's depicted both ways; a Madonna to Robert, and a Whore to Ruckus. |

| 369 | A house slave who served as Massa Colonel's right-hand man. He has a one-sided crush on Thelma, but tries to warn the Colonel about the slave rebellion. |
| 370 | ---- |
| 371 | * AnachronismStew: Allegedly, Tobias wrote the first script for a motion picture, a few decades before they were even invented. |
| 372 | * BoomerangBigot / HappinessInSlavery: He's an "Uncle Tom" house slave who is loyal to his white master. It's no wonder why Ruckus would sympathize with him. |
| 373 | * ButtMonkey: He gets no respect from the other slaves (and according to Robert, not even from his own master). [[spoiler:However, he somehow gets a happy ending in the true version recounted by Huey.]] |
| 374 | * DirtyCoward: He's cowardly and somewhat of an opportunist. [[spoiler:Also see FakeUltimateHero.]] |
| 375 | * TheDragon: To Massa Colonel. |
| 376 | * FakeUltimateHero: [[spoiler:At the end of Huey's story, Tobias grabbed a rifle and tried to shoot Thelma, but accidentally killed Massa Colonel instead. Deciding to exploit the slaves' victory, he lied that he killed Massa on purpose, in order to win Thelma's love and the other slaves' admiration.]] |
| 377 | * GenerationXerox: [[spoiler: Robert seems to have inherited his cowardly, opportunistic, and sellout tendencies from Tobias.]] |
| 378 | * HatedByAll: Robert’s interpretation of him is this, where he’s not only hated by the other slaves for his loyalty to Massa Colonel, but also by Massa Colonel himself. |
| 379 | * HumiliationConga: Robert's interpretation of him goes through this throughout his story. First, he's whipped several times by Massa Colonel, his idea to buy his way to freedom gets shat upon by the other slaves, gets rejected by Thelma, then slapped around by the other slaves when he tries to talk them out of the revolt, [[GreenEyedMonster enviously]] witnesses Thelma and Catcher kiss, [[SpitefulSpit gets spit on]] by Thelma, watches Massa Colonel [[OffWithHisHead get beheaded]], before finally being shot by the woman he tried to court. |
| 380 | * OnlySaneMan: Ruckus claimed that he served this role among the other slaves, trying futilely to prevent their evil plot against Massa Colonel. |
| 381 | * PosthumousCharacter: According to Robert and Ruckus, he was killed during the rebellion. [[spoiler:According to Huey, he survived long enough to live as a free man.]] |
| 382 | * VillainousCrush: He has unrequited feelings for Thelma, who dislikes him for being an Uncle Tom. [[spoiler:In Huey's story, he managed to win over Thelma through a little deceit.]] |

| 390 | |
| 391 | A Confederate Army officer and plantation owner who was killed during a slave insurrection. |
| 392 | ---- |
| 393 | * AffablyEvil: In the version told by Huey, Lynchwater seemed like a somewhat okay and amiable fellow, despite being a slave owner. He even enjoyed Tobias's screenplay, regardless that he should technically have the slave hanged for being able to read and write. |
| 394 | * BadBoss: Well he was a slave owner after all. Especially according to Robert, as he had no problem with whipping his own loyal slave Tobias due to a misunderstanding. |
| 395 | * BenevolentBoss: According to Ruckus, Lynchwater provided his slaves with good housing, great food, high living standards; and he didn't even force them do any work, instead he allowed them to goof off and have fun. But the moment he tries to politely request that they do some work, [[UngratefulBastard they decide to murder him]]. |
| 396 | * BigBad: Massa Colonel is the main villain and antagonist to Catcher Freeman in Robert's story. |
| 397 | * BigGood: But Ruckus flips the above trope on its head, making the protagonist Catcha an ally and servant of the Colonel. |
| 398 | * ColonelBadass: He holds this rank in the Confederate Army, and he seems to be no slouch at combat. [[spoiler:In the true story, he gets in a sword fight with Thelma and tries to disarm her.]] |
| 399 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:It's implied, and later confirmed, that Tobias is the illegitimate son of Mr. Lynchwater and a female slave.]] |
| 400 | * OffWithHisHead: In Robert's tale, he gets beheaded with a sword by Catcher. |
| 401 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Well, he was a slave-owning planter in the DeepSouth after all. In Robert's version of the story, he wrongly flogs Tobias for something that wasn't his fault, and forces him to do hard labor with the "field niggers". |
| 402 | * PosthumousCharacter: One detail that stayed (mostly) consistent through all three stories was that the Colonel was killed in action during the rebellion. |
| 403 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In Ruckus's story he tells Tobias: "you've always been like a son to me, except I would never ever lay with your black jungle bunny momma." [[spoiler: So of course in Huey's story he's actually Tobias' father.]] |

| 421 | * HateSink: Weirdly inverted: she is nothing but vile, but still very amusing. |
| 422 | * InsistentTerminology: She claims that BET doesn't stand for Black Entertainment Television, but Black ''Evil'' Television. Not knowing this cost one of her show producers their life. |
| 423 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's a greedy, bigoted, homicidal maniac who kills over the slightest provocation. |

| 442 | * BystanderSyndrome: When Deborah has one of her employees executed, Wedgie seems [[EvenEvilHasStandards horrified]], but he doesn't intervene out of [[DirtyCoward fear for his own life]]. |
| 443 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Not only is his boss one of these, but he kidnaps a geneticist and (tries to) torture him into "correcting" a DNA test, in order to trick Ruckus into thinking he's white again (Ruckus [[InterruptedSuicide almost killed himself]] over his black heritage, which would've ended the show prematurely). |
| 444 | * TheDragon: To Deborah Leevil. Though it seems that he continues working for [[BadBoss her]] under fear for his own life. |
| 445 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Zigzagged. It doesn't stop him from doing his job of making BET's shows insulting towards their target audience, but he is still clearly afraid of Deborah's murderous behavior, and despite being a BoomerangBigot, his "good taste" has him make exceptions for people like Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis.

| 467 | * HypeBacklash: In-universe example: liberal Democrats are enthusiastic about the first African-American President, while conservative Republicans such as Ruckus are unhappy about him, and Huey is totally apathetic about the whole election. |
| 468 | ** Among the people shown supporting Obama (Robert, Riley, Tom, Sarah, Thugnificent, etc.), they all seem disappointed for various reasons (except for Sarah, who is pleased by Obama's charm alone). |
| 469 | * ObstructiveBureaucrat: [[spoiler:He calls Jack Flowers to tell him that he can't arrest Ed Wuncler I.]] |
| 470 | * SleazyPolitician: He isn't completely amoral, but he still engages in some pretty shady behavior: |
| 471 | ** In "The Fried Chicken Flu", he is quite happy to live in a comfy bunker during a national emergency, while only offering the American people cheap platitudes. |
| 472 | ** [[spoiler: He gave the horribly amoral businessman Ed Wuncler a pardon. Implying that Obama is in the pocket of, or least kowtows to, powerful interests]]. |
| 473 | * TakeThat: The show has a decidedly negative view of Barack Obama, depicting his campaign as being nothing more than one big hype machine full of shallow promises. |
| 474 | ** And by extension, the Democratic voters (both black and white) who voted for Obama mostly because of his race and those aforementioned shallow promises. |
| 475 | ** But the show also mocked Republican voters who were convinced that Obama was a "Socialist Muslim {{Antichrist}}" who would bring about America's downfall. |

| 497 | * BilingualBackfire: While her teammates mocked Huey for believing in her fake sob-story, Ming laughs at him. This proved to be her downfall as Huey, who speaks Mandarin, understood what they said and went all-out on them, single-handedly eliminating most of them, Ming included. |
| 498 | * LittleMissBadass: Ming has been painstakingly trained to do one thing: win at kickball. |

| 510 | ---- |
| 511 | * AesopAmnesia: In the end, Jimmy states that he's not as racist as he used to be, and wants to sing about other subjects besides hating black people. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint But then Jimmy and Ruckus team up to write an anti-Mexican song]]. |
| 512 | * AffablyEvil: He may be extremely racist, although he has an otherwise genial personality. |
| 513 | * BigotryException: He makes an exception to his hatred of black people for his kindred-spirited friend, Uncle Ruckus. This puts Jimmy at odds with his own audience though. At the end of the episode, Jimmy admits that he doesn't really hate black people that much anymore. But he still hates Hispanic people though. |
| 514 | * CreatorBacklash: InUniverse, he becomes disillusioned with his fanbase by the end, when he realizes that even though he only hates black people because of their attitudes, most of his fans really do just hate them because they're black. |
| 515 | * DeepSouth: Hails from a city there called Spokenhoke, which he calls "the Jewel of the South". It's also the location of the headquarters of his record company, Racist Records. |
| 516 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While he's an unapologetic racist, at least he's ''sincere'' in his hatred for black people because of their "attitudes". When his new black friend Ruckus cops racist abuse despite being, well, [[BoomerangBigot like he is]], he's upset to realise that other racists hate blacks ''solely'' because of their skin colour. |

| 525 | ---- |
| 526 | * AvengingTheVillain: Subverted, they weren't really moved by Stinkmeaner's death. The thin veneer of "revenge" was just an excuse to attack the Freemans [[ForTheEvulz for the fun of it]]. |
| 527 | * AxCrazy: They want to murder an old man and his two little boys for the thrill of it. |
| 528 | * BadassCrew: The three old codgers whoop heaps of ass and [[spoiler:kill Bushido Brown]]. The only thing that can defeat them? [[spoiler:Jail.]] |

| 533 | * EvilOldFolks: A whole trio of them! |
| 534 | * {{Exp|y}}ies: Each of them are based on characters from classic {{black sitcom}}s. |
| 535 | * ForTheEvulz: As they explain, they weren't looking to avenge Stinkmeaner, they just wanted to fuck with any unfortunate victim. |
| 536 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:They kill Bushido Brown whom the Freemans hired to protect them from the Hateocracy.]] |
| 537 | * {{Jerkass}}es: What do you expect when these three assholes are the closest thing that ''Stinkmeaner'' has ever had to being a circle of friends? Even then they admit that they don't actually like each other, due to their ambivalence towards Stinkmeaner's death; they just hate everyone and everything else even more. |
| 538 | * KnightOfCerebus: Though not without moments of comedy, The Hateocracy are depicted a little less humorously than Stinkmeaner (Rufus especially), and they all prove to be among the most dangerous enemies of the Freeman family. Just look at the sheer malice on their faces when they [[WouldHurtAChild beat two little boys to a pulp]]. |
| 539 | * MundaneSolution: They may be formidable fighters. But even they aren't outside the law and someone in the neighborhood had enough common sense to call the police who instantly come and arrest them. |
| 540 | * {{Psychopathic Manchild}}ren: Together with Stinkmeaner, these old geezers are really just overgrown {{delinquent}}s who delight in causing trouble and harassing other people just for fun. |
| 541 | * {{Sadist}}s: Like Stinkmeaner, they're delighted by the suffering of other people. |
| 542 | * {{Sociopath}}s: And of course, they're utterly devoid of love for anyone, not even for each other. |
| 543 | -->'''Gripenasty:''' Just 'cause Stinkmeaner was our nigga, don't mean we gave a shit about his ass! |
| 544 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite being really old, they seem to be far stronger and more agile than most people much younger than them. |
| 545 | * TerribleTrio: Though they were originally a Terrible Quartet, when Stinkmeaner was still alive and part of the original gang. |
| 546 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Riley is skeptically amused by the idea that a gang of old people could be so deadly, until he gets his ass kicked by Gripenasty. |
| 547 | * WalkingTheEarth: After their dickish behavior got them kicked out of the nursing home they met in, they wandered the world for ten years together before splitting up and eventually reuniting. |
| 548 | * WouldHurtAChild: They have no qualms about trying to kill children. George and Esmeralda even attacked Huey and Riley at their school, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown savagely beating both of them within inches of their lives]]. |
| 549 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Though in a twisted way that only psychopaths such as themselves could understand. All four of them were misanthropes who hated everyone in the world, but hated each other slightly less, so they bonded by bullying other people. The surviving three weren't actually interested in avenging their fallen acquaintance Stinkmeaner, they just needed an excuse to harass the Freemans. |

| 559 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He is the most well-spoken of the group, and is shown to be capable of polite conversation. He even shows his respect to [[WorthyOpponent Bushido Brown]] before their fight. However, it is very clear that he, like his comrades, is a cruel and hateful person. |
| 560 | * ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: He wields a lobster cage with retractable blades on a string that he swings around like a flying guillotine. It's sharp and strong enough to decapitate a log and people as well. [[spoiler:He manages to kill Bushido Brown with it.]] |
| 561 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Crabmiser uses a weaponized lobster cage with razor-sharp blades, which he swings and throws around like a flail. [[spoiler:He uses it to [[OffWithHisHead behead Bushido Brown]].]] |
| 562 | * ShownTheirWork: His use of crabs as a metaphor for people holding each other back is based on a real phenomenon where crabs will stop each other from escaping a bucket and a theory that is named after it: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality Crab Mentality]]. |
| 563 | * StrawNihilist: Rufus Crabmiser gives a speech to Granddad to this effect, [[TallPoppySyndrome using crab fishing as a metaphor]]. |
| 564 | -->'''Crabmiser:''' "Fascinating creature, the crab. Got that hard exterior, but he ain't really dangerous, except to another crab. Dumb as all hell, can't even walk straight.

| 595 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Bobb'e J. Thompson |
| 596 | |
| 597 | A preteen psychopath, whom Riley makes the mistake of hanging out with. |
| 598 | ---- |
| 599 | * AbusiveParents: Apparently he was horribly abused by his mom and dad. Inverted with his grandma, who is [[ElderAbuse horribly abused]] by ''Lamilton'' himself! |
| 600 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: The main difference between him and Riley. Riley is a bumbling buffoon who goes around doing things that are both incredibly dangerous to both others around him and himself while he's convinced that he'll somehow avoid the consequences of his actions due to the delusion he has that he's a badass gangster whose competent enough to escape to safety or fight anyone off instead of the reckless moron and clumsy weakling everyone around him knows him as. Lamilton, however, is completely aware of the recklessness of his actions and how immoral and abhorrent he is as a person, but half-heartedly justifies himself by outright admitting he's a bad person who enjoys doing bad things, and doesn't even care about anything or anyone, not even himself, which is why he's willing to endanger himself. |
| 601 | * AxCrazy: He's prone to outbursts of violent rage, and his psychiatrist predicts that he will murder somebody unless he's imprisoned or killed first. |
| 602 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He fatally shoots Betty von Heusen's guard dog, claiming he was acting in "self-defense", even though the dog was still chained when he tried trespassing into von Heusen's yard. |
| 603 | * TheBully: Even worse than Butch Magnus. Butch would pummel and humiliate his victims. Lamilton would likely straight-up kill them. Even his own grandmother isn't safe. |
| 604 | * CardCarryingVillain: He proudly says that he's a bad kid who likes to bad things. |
| 605 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "[[CardCarryingVillain I'm a bad kid]]. [[ForTheEvulz I like to do bad things]]." |
| 606 | * CombatPragmatist: He fights in an incredibly ruthless way against Riley and is clearly intending to kill him as fast as possible, as he doesn't hesitate in doing boring, yet dirty tricks, such as grabbing onto Riley's hair, and trying to choke him out as he's got him pinned down, taking full advantage of the weight difference between the two. |
| 607 | * CreepyChild: His former school counselor actually suggested that he's TheAntiChrist. |
| 608 | * {{Delinquent}}: His idea of having a fun time is to commit all kinds of petty crimes, from dropping objects on passing cars, to shooting a chained dog. |
| 609 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Lamilton falls off from the roof of the J. Edgar Hoover Elementary School building, but this is '''subverted''' when [[{{Kevlard}} his body fat]] [[MadeOfIron protects him]], allowing him to survive with only broken bones and a limping walk.]] |
| 610 | * DisproportionateRetribution: He beat up his own grandma because she didn't get him fried chicken. |
| 611 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Well, what do you expect? He's only eight. |
| 612 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 613 | ** A direct parody of a real life boy named Latarian Milton, who was famous on the news back in 2008 for assaulting his grandmother for fried chicken and stealing her truck to go on a joyride, both of which Lamilton did in the episode. |
| 614 | ** Of [[Film/TheGoodSon Henry Evans]]. Both are {{false friend}}s of the protagonist, both are {{sadist}}s who do evil things for fun, and both kill dogs. [[spoiler:Also, both end up falling from a high place (a school building for Lamilton, a cliff for Henry), though Lamilton survived due to his fat protecting him from the fall, while Henry is confirmed to be dead.]] |
| 615 | ** He's also a parody of [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] due to being labelled by others as pure evil, his lack of empathy and emotion, and having a psychologist obsessed with stopping him. |
| 616 | ** He is also a parody of Tupac Shakur’s character Bishop from [[Film/{{Juice}} Juice]]. He begins as a friend of the protagonist but drives them away with his increasingly violent behavior. Some of Lamilton’s scenes are direct homages to the film, such as confronting Riley in the school hallways, shooting a defenseless victim [[spoiler: (in this case a dog, in Bishop’s case a store clerk)]], and even having a final fight with the protagonist on a tall building [[spoiler: wherein he falls to his “death”]] after Riley tries to hold onto him. The final words of this episode spoken to Riley, “Hey you got a cigarette?” even mirror the final words of the film, spoken to protagonist Q: “Yo, you got the juice now.” |
| 617 | * FalseFriend: Lamilton acquaints himself with Riley. Eventually, though Riley, a boy who is very often a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter when it comes to befriending people, realizes that there's something very wrong with his "friend", and tries to leave when Lamilton goes too far. |
| 618 | * FatBastard: Robert even calls him a "fat fucker". Not to mention the violent tantrum he threw over [[SeriousBusiness not getting fried chicken]]. |
| 619 | * FreudianExcuse: His grandmother states that he came from a very {{abusive|Parents}} and DysfunctionalFamily. Despite this, Lamilton himself never brings up the subject. |
| 620 | * InsistentTerminology: Lamilton doesn't like to smoke, he likes to "smoke with cigarettes." |
| 621 | * {{Jerkass}}: Oh yes, and he can barely hide it. His facade of friendship with Riley is quite shallow. |
| 622 | * KnightOfCerebus: Some of his scenes were among the rare moments not PlayedForLaughs. His threatening behavior towards Riley was NightmareFuel played very straight. |
| 623 | * LackOfEmpathy: He makes it clear that he doesn't care about other people. |
| 624 | * MirrorCharacter: Imagine Riley with no morals or restraint, and that is what Lamilton is. Lamilton is also free of any delusion that he's some sort of badass gangster and justifies himself by admitting that he's an awful person who likes doing awful things to other people. |
| 625 | * NightmareFetishist: Lamilton enjoys watching ultra-violent horror movies a little too much. |
| 626 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A ''very'' transparent parody of Latarian Milton, a 7-year-old kid who also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcqOgnQyXp4 took his grandmother's SUV for a joyride]], and had also later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN5EJDa8DPw beaten up his grandmother for refusing to buy him fried chicken]]. Many of Lamilton's actions and mannerisms were directly copied from Latarian. |
| 627 | * ObviouslyEvil: This boy is creepy as all hell; he has a dull and lifeless face, constantly talks about how much he [[ForTheEvulz likes doing bad things]], and is unable to hide his malevolent nature. [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter His grandmother]] always thinks that he's just misunderstood, and it took Riley too long to figure out why he shouldn't socialize with him. |
| 628 | * OminousLatinChanting: "LAM-IL-TON! TAE-SHAWN!" |
| 629 | * OrderedApology: On his grandma's orders, he gives a [[BlatantLies very insincere apology]] for letting Riley ride with him in his car. |
| 630 | * RedIsViolent: He wears a red shirt, and is a nihilistic sociopath who doesn't care about the value of life, his included, and does terrible things because, by his own words, is a [[ForTheEvulz "bad kid, who likes to do bad things."]] |
| 631 | * {{Sadist}}: While he doesn't even smile about it, one can tell that he enjoys inflicting torment. |
| 632 | * SmokingIsCool: He certainly thinks so. |
| 633 | * TheSociopath: He's an ''extreme'' low-functioning example: not just with his propensity toward violence, but his complete lack of self-preservation instincts. His therapist outright considers him to be ''pure evil''. And this assessment is hardly an exaggeration. |
| 634 | * TheStoic: Done to very creepy effect, with Lamilton barely making any facial expressions, or speaking differently from his [[CreepyMonotone constant monotone]]. It seems he only knows a few emotions: sadistic joy, violent anger, and fear [[spoiler:([[NotSoStoic you too would scream if you fell from a building and got injured]])]]. |
| 635 | * StoutStrength: At least enough to deliver an intense beating to his grandmother. Though he's not as strong as Butch Magnus, as Riley could hold his own against Lamilton. |
| 636 | * StrawNihilist: He makes it clear he doesn’t care about anything or anyone, not even himself. |
| 637 | * StupidEvil: Lamilton even claims to not care much about himself. His reckless crimes threaten not only other people but himself as well; he smokes even though it poisons his lungs, almost got himself killed when trying to joyride in his grandma's car, and he even wanted to burglarize the home of a heavily armed old woman. |
| 638 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: The most stand-out example of the series so far. |
| 639 | * VillainousGlutton: He beats his grandma for not getting him fried chicken. |

| 648 | ---- |
| 649 | * CriticalPsychoanalysisFailure: Lamilton's sociopathy and utter lack of humanity drove Doomis to madness. |
| 650 | * {{Deconstruction}}: While the character he's based on has been given a rough treatment in both the mainline ''{{Franchise/Halloween}}'' movies and [[Film/Halloween2007 Rob Zombie's take on the character]], Doomis displays how such mania directed towards a child could have a restraining order put on him, and how even a boy as purportedly sociopathic as Michale Myers (read: Lamilton) would still be terrified of a grown man harassing and threatening to kill him. |
| 651 | * {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Loomis from ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}''. |
| 652 | * KillHimAlready: His preferred solution for dealing with Lamilton, if he cannot be imprisoned or institutionalized. |

| 681 | * AllGaysLoveTheater: And that's just one item of his checklist of gay stereotypes. |
| 682 | * ArmoredClosetGay: Winston keeps insisting that he's a heterosexual Christian man, until the end when he admits that he really is just trying to find men to sleep with. |
| 683 | * CampGay: No man can be more effeminate than him. |
| 684 | * CelebrityParadox: He's an expy of Tyler Perry, with Ma Dukes an expy of Madea...but "Or Die Trying" and "The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show" established that Madea movies do exist in this universe, and presumably Perry as well. |
| 685 | * CreepyCrossdresser: He's known for playing a Madea-like character. He claims that God and Jesus told him to make plays and movies while dressed like a woman. |
| 686 | * {{Expy}}: Of Tyler Perry and his Madea character. |
| 687 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A spoof of Creator/TylerPerry. |
| 688 | * QueerPeopleAreFunny: Pretty much the basis of most of the jokes about him, even more so than Gangstalicious. |
| 689 | * SinisterMinister: His theater troupe is like a quasi-Christian cult, which requires its members to live in a compound, and sever any ties to their old lives. |
| 690 | * UncleTomfoolery: His plays and movies make use of a lot of black stereotype humor. |

| 694 | !!"The Booty Warrior" |
| 695 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/booty_warrior_7.jpg]] |
| 696 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Carl Jones |
| 697 | |
| 698 | When Tom and Ruckus take Huey, Riley, Butch, and four other boys on a visit to jail to scare them straight, they meet an inmate who is obsessed with anal rape. In other words, the personification of Tom's worst nightmares! |
| 699 | ---- |
| 700 | * AbledInTheAdaptation: He doesn't need glasses like the real-life Fleece Johnson. |
| 701 | * AffectionateNickname: Played for BlackComedy. The one he has for Chris Hansen is "Chris Handsome." |
| 702 | * BlackComedyRape: Like the Health Inspector, his entire character revolves around this concept. His raping Chris Hansen and desire to rape Tom are both PlayedForLaughs. |
| 703 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "[[StalkerWithACrush I like ya, and I want'cha]]. [[TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay Now we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way]], [[MortonsFork the choice is yours]]." |
| 704 | * CreepyHighPitchedVoice: He has an unsettingly bizarre, high-pitched voice, and is of course, obsessed with anally raping men, particularly ones that fit Tom's description in that he prefers tall, well-dressed and distinguished men, spelling big trouble for our friend Tom. |
| 705 | * [[DeathByIrony Defeat by Irony]]: He winds up getting beaten by Tom when the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything latter takes advantage of him in the showers due to the warrior accidentally leaving himself vulnerable]] to Tom when the Warrior slips on a bar of soap and finds himself defensless on the ground, enabling Tom to bash him in the face with a bar of soap. |
| 706 | * DepravedHomosexual: Was sent to prison specifically because he anally raped Chris Hansen in the middle of shooting ''[[Series/{{Dateline}} To Catch a Predator]]''. |
| 707 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: The Booty Warrior [[WouldntHurtAChild doesn't rape children]], it was just a ruse to get Chris Hansen. His fellow inmates also wouldn't rape kids. |
| 708 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Speaks in a calm, almost jovial tone while guards are about, but he can turn murderously cruel and aggressive if his victims don't give their booties willingly. |
| 709 | * {{Gayngster}}: He's a perpetually lustful criminal who associates with a prison gang that sodomizes other inmates for fun. |
| 710 | * GoneHorriblyRight: While he seemed to have started the PrisonRiot on purpose, as it turns out, he simply wanted to anally rape Tom. |
| 711 | * HasAType: Both the men he was shown targeting were tall, handsome men in suits. In prison, he's less picky. |
| 712 | * LaughablyEvil: He's a terrifying rapist, but his dialogue along with his overexaggerated high-pitched voice make him one of the funniest villains in the show. |
| 713 | * MistakenForPedophile: Chris Hansen assumes the Booty Warrior wants to have sex with an underaged boy only for the Warrior to reveal that ''Hansen'' is his real target. Unlike most examples of this trope, the Booty Warrior is still a sexual predator, it's just that his victims are adults instead of teens or preteens. |
| 714 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: He's wearing nothing but his hat when chasing Tom through the shower room. |
| 715 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's based on real life inmate Fleece Johnson, right down to his signature catchphrase. |
| 716 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Though he's essentially a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed parodic version]] of the real-life rapist Fleece Johnson in all but name. |
| 717 | * PrisonRape: Unsurprisingly, anal rape is his only hobby in jail. It's also implied that he's both a perpetrator ''and'' victim of this crime. He has zero interest in anything else. |
| 718 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He and some fellow prisoners ironically warn the boys about risking a lifetime of getting raped behind bars. |
| 719 | * ScaryBlackMan: He's not as huge as the "Health Inspector" of Tom's nightmares, but still just as scary. Arguably more so since he isn't a figment of Tom's imagination and is based on a real life person. |
| 720 | * SerialRapist: His only goal in life is to force as many men as possible into receiving anal sex from him. |
| 721 | * SkewedPriorities: He describes "booty" as the most important thing in prison life, more than food or water. When his fellow inmates ask him if he had an escape plan, he states that all he wanted was to get to rape Tom. |
| 722 | * StalkerWithACrush: He pursues specific men in mind before he tries to rape them. He appeared on ''To Catch a Predator'' just so he could get to Chris Hansen (whom he calls "Chris Handsome"), despite knowing that TV cameramen and police officers are waiting for him. And he later starts a PrisonRiot, just so he could chase down Tom through the halls of the jail. |
| 723 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: He's of average size and build, but is capable of physically overwhelming men as if he were much larger and stronger than they are. |
| 724 | * StupidEvil: Downplayed, he's aware that he's raping Chris Hansen on live television, it's just [[WorthIt that he doesn't care about getting arrested for it]]. |
| 725 | * UnusualEyebrows: He's recognizable for his vaguely [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Batarang]]-shaped eyebrows. |

| 730 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Gerald Johnson |
| 731 | |
| 732 | A gardener and landscaper who claims to be the illegitimate son of Robert Freeman and one of his ex-girlfriends (Marietta). Lando and Robert set out to find the truth (and bond together if necessary). |
| 733 | ---- |
| 734 | * ButtMonkey: Not surprisingly, he gets into quite a bit of mishaps when he moves in with the Freemans. |
| 735 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Creator/BillyDeeWilliams (the actor who played Lando Calrissian) reveals himself to actually be Lando's father.]] |
| 736 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: He claims to be the bastard son of Robert and Marietta, born circa 1980. [[spoiler:According to a DNA test however, Lando is in fact NOT the son of Robert Freeman.]] |
| 737 | * MeaningfulName: Lando sharing a name with ''Franchise/StarWars'' character Lando Calrissian is noted, while Lando mentions that around the time he was conceived, his mother and father watched ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. [[spoiler:In fact, the actor who played Lando Calrissian is his real father.]] |
| 738 | * NiceGuy: Overall, he's a very friendly guy. However, during his journey to discover his father, he's brought into conflict with some other people (especially Uncle Ruckus and TV host [[Series/TheSteveWilkosShow Steve Wilkos]]). |

| 741 | [[folder:Ebony Brown]] |
| 742 | !!Ebony Brown |
| 743 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GinaTorres |
| 744 | |
| 745 | Robert's GirlOfTheWeek in "The Lovely Ebony Brown". Unlike Robert's previous girlfriends, Ebony is a very pleasant woman and not bat-shit crazy at all. In the end though, Robert's paranoid insecurities lead them to splitting up anyways. |
| 746 | ---- |
| 747 | * TheAce: Bordering on ParodySue. Ebony Brown is athletic, beautiful, kind, smart, and successful. Essentially, a perfect woman. |
| 748 | * LovedByAll: She's so charming that all of the main characters seem to like her. Not even the cynical Huey and Riley (who've met all of Robert's crazy ex-girlfriends), nor even the black-hating Ruckus [[spoiler:(who develops his own crush on her)]], can find any genuine faults about Ms. Brown. |
| 749 | * MetaGirl: She {{lampshades}} the show in a LeaningOnTheFourthWall kind of way. She finds Robert Freeman's life stories about all his crazy misadventures and the wacky people he's met to be very entertaining. She even asks if she can be a "main character" in his life. |
| 750 | * NiceGirl: She does a lot of humanitarian work overseas, and is probably the most good-natured person that Robert has ever met. |
| 751 | * ParodySue: Ebony Brown can be interpreted as being an AffectionateParody of SelfInsertFic (regarding both this show and others) because, by this show's standards, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness she's just so damned perfect]]. |
| 752 | ** She's Robert's latest girlfriend, but miraculously bucks tradition by being [[NiceGirl genuinely more kindhearted, sane, and levelheaded than anyone else around her]]; as well as being [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman so strikingly beautiful]], that even Uncle Ruckus puts a lid on his racism for once, and falls arse-over-tits for her. |
| 753 | ** She repeatedly [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall leans on the fourth wall]], and expresses a desire to become a major part of Robert's life (similar to a SelfInsertFic character joining the main cast out of nowhere). |
| 754 | ** Robert falls completely in love with her, and becomes madly obsessed with their relationship together, [[FourthDateMarriage despite the fact that they only met a short while ago]] (a satire of [[invoked]]{{shipping}} stories where characters are StrangledByTheRedString); and their relationship is played up for all the hamfisted melodrama that can be wrung from it (satirizing the RomanticPlotTumor nature of the aforementioned shipping stories). |
| 755 | ** Also, Ebony shares her name with [[FanFic/MyImmortal one of the most infamous powehouses in fan-fiction history]]. It's not known if this is an intentional reference or not, but it would make it all the more blatant if it was. |
| 756 | * WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: As part of the entire joke about how impossibly perfect she is, and in addition to having a great personality, Ebony is an ''extremely attractive'', physically fit young woman. [[spoiler:Even Uncle Ruckus, who generally believes that black women are ugly, admits that she is very pretty despite being a member of an "inferior" race.]] |

| 759 | [[folder:Ruckus Family]] |
| 760 | The long-[[ProdigalFamily estranged family]] of Uncle Ruckus. |
| 761 | ---- |
| 762 | * BigScrewedUpFamily: They're so extremely and horribly dysfunctional, that even the Freeman family note how much better they themselves seem compared to the Ruckuses. |
| 763 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: They only appear in one episode, but Nelly and Mister Ruckus' abuse towards Mister and Uncle Ruckus respectively and Bunny's self-hatred of black people is the reason Uncle became the hateful BoomerangBigot he is today. |
| 764 | |
| 765 | !!Nelly Ruckus |
| 766 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Luenell Campbell |
| 767 | |
| 768 | The mother of Mister Ruckus, and the paternal grandmother of Uncle Ruckus. She's just as ancient as she is hateful. |
| 769 | ---- |
| 770 | * AbusiveParents: She raised Mister to be an asshole much like herself. |
| 771 | * TheChainOfHarm: She's responsible for how her son turned out, and in turn her grandson. It's not discussed, but it's most likely that her childhood was nothing good either. |
| 772 | * DeathSeeker: For most of her life, she's been waiting to die of old age. Her wish is finally granted when she passes away while sitting in Robert's living room chair. Her only regret is that she was outlived by her hated son. |
| 773 | * EvilOldFolks: Possibly well over 100 years old when she died. |
| 774 | * GruesomeGrandparent: She's no nicer to her grandchildren than she is to her son, and is shown smacking Uncle and attacking one of his younger brothers with a knife. |
| 775 | * HateSink: Much like her son, she's at least just as much of a despicable human being as he is, though she isn't given any [[FreudianExcuse traumatic flashbacks]] to humanize her even a little bit. |
| 776 | * {{Jerkass}}: Uncle notes that she's even nastier than Mister, and that's really saying something. |
| 777 | * LaughablyEvil: Her nonstop stream of unapologetic verbal abuse towards literally everyone and bursts of sudden domestic violence veer into territory so over-the-top that they ''just'' about clear the line twice, despite the obvious terrible consequences both had on her family. |
| 778 | * MisanthropeSupreme: She hates just about everyone around her, including her entire family. |
| 779 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She looks elderly, but she definitely doesn't look like she's way past 100 years old, which she would be considering her own grandchildren are reaching their elderly years themselves. |
| 780 | * TheSociopath: She's very open about her hatred and apathy for all people. Not to mention how ruthlessly and unlovingly she "raised" her son. |
| 781 | * StrawNihilist: She rants on about how she thinks life is nothing but cruel and meaningless, which is why she doesn't want to live any longer. |
| 782 | |
| 783 | !!Mister Ruckus |
| 784 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Don Curry |
| 785 | |
| 786 | The father of Uncle Ruckus. Uncle hates his dad with a passion (and with good reason). |
| 787 | ---- |
| 788 | * AbusiveParents: To extreme levels. Mister Ruckus was an [[HairTriggerTemper angry]] [[AlcoholicParent drunkard]] who had frequently beaten a much younger Uncle Ruckus for little or no reason. Eventually, he personally [[ParentalAbandonment dragged and threw his own son out of the house]]. Uncle's massive lazy eye and disfigured mouth are a product of Mister hitting him in the face so many times. |
| 789 | * AssholeVictim: {{Downplayed|trope}}. As despicable as he was and the fact that his family is shown to be better off without him, he has plenty of sympathetic qualities before his demise that prove [[TheChainOfHarm how he himself was a]] [[TragicVillain victim]] [[FreudianExcuse of abuse by both his employers and his own mother]]. |
| 790 | * BerserkButton: The mere existence of his son Uncle Ruckus seems to be this for him, and often took the slightest excuse to violently strike him. |
| 791 | * TheChainOfHarm: He learned well from his mother on how to mistreat his own kids. |
| 792 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Nigga, did I just catch you [doing something]?!" ''(slap)'' |
| 793 | * DeathByFallingOver: [[spoiler: He's about to hit Uncle when his back gives out. As a result, he loses his balance and falls into Nelly's grave, breaking his neck.]] |
| 794 | * EvilOldFolks: Old age has not watered down his asshole behavior. However, his own mother is even older and more evil than he is. |
| 795 | * FreudianExcuse: He was abused by his own asshole mother, and also by racist white men. That being said, he is never treated sympathetically, and Uncle [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse bluntly tells him that this doesn't excuse his own cruelty]]. |
| 796 | * HateSink: Despite his tragic past, his behavior is never treated as anything less than abhorrent, [[spoiler:to the point that his whole family feels relieved after [[AssholeVictim he accidentally kills himself]]]]. |
| 797 | * HypocriticalHumor: In a flashback, Mister struck Uncle when the boy expressed interest in becoming a doctor. Years later, Mister disparages Uncle's dozens of "shitty jobs" despite not living under Jim Crow like he did. |
| 798 | * {{Jerkass}}: Big time. Despite having a tragic backstory of his own, not once is he shown as being redeemable. |
| 799 | * JerkassHasAPoint: As awful as he is, he correctly points out the fact that his entire immediate family are, in one way or another, completely subservient to white people... ''and it pisses him off''. |
| 800 | ** He's also very much correct that Bunny's deluded opinions about white people and her attempts at making Ruckus believe in himself by convincing him he's actually ''a white person trapped in a black person's body'' was beyond stupid and messed him up almost ''worse than Mister did.'' Also, he told his son that he never once tried to find anyone that had that fake disease. He also brings up to Ruckus' face that if he just stopped and thought about it for a minute, he'd realize just how ridiculous that "Re-Vitaligo" bullshit shounds. |
| 801 | -->'''Mister:''' That's why they shouldn't let dumb bitches read psychology books. |
| 802 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:When Mister tries to hit Uncle one last time, he succumbs to an old back injury; causing him to {{accidental|Suicide}}ly fall into his mother's grave, [[NeckSnap breaking his own neck]] in the process.]] |
| 803 | * KnightOfCerebus: His horrible abuse of Uncle Ruckus is still [[BlackComedy darkly humorous]], [[MoodWhiplash but yet also quite]] [[invoked]][[TearJerker crushingly tragic]] at the same time. |
| 804 | * LastDisrespects: He attends his mom's funeral, because it's the event he's been gladly anticipating for his whole life. Uncle CallingTheOldManOut even boils down to encouraging this to make him stop treating them the same way. |
| 805 | * LaughablyEvil: Zigzagged. He takes [[AbusiveParents child abuse]] to ghoulishly comedic extremes... but his actions had horrible effects on those around him. |
| 806 | ** Also a victim of this. The horrific abuse he went through from both his mother and his coworkers in adulthood is funny to watch, but the aftereffects definitely are not. |
| 807 | * MeaningfulName: He's obviously named after Albert "Mister" Johnson, and is just as abusive. |
| 808 | * MisanthropeSupreme: He really doesn't like other people at all. He may not even care for himself, as his behavior suggests a lot of self-loathing. |
| 809 | * NoFullNameGiven: His first name is never revealed. |
| 810 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Especially compared to his wife, he doesn't look like he's aged that much from Uncle's childhood flashbacks, only getting gray hair since then. Keep in mind that Uncle is way past middle age. |
| 811 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Mister is a racist old man, though at heart he's probably another "hates everybody" misanthrope like Nelly or Stinkmeaner. |
| 812 | ** He hates white people, though this is because [[FreudianExcuse he spent most of his life living under segregation]], often getting [[BadBoss physically abused by the racist white men whom he worked for]]. |
| 813 | ** He also disparagingly labels Uncle as a "professional Mexican" for [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands having so many different menial jobs]]. (Although this is rather hypocritical, as Mister himself was a menial servant when he was younger.) |
| 814 | --->'''Mister:''' You still ain't got shit, and ain't never gonna have shit. You know what that makes you? A Mexican. Is that what you've accomplished with your life boy? Being a Mexican? You ain't even gotta speak English to be a Mexican! Whose fault is it that you're a professional Mexican? Is that my fault? |
| 815 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lays a cruel but accurate verbal beatdown on his family during their dinner, particularly Bunny and Uncle Ruckus: |
| 816 | -->'''Mister:''' Shut your ass up, Bunny! I'm sick of you talkin' about that goddamn white man all the time. Name one of them who ever did shit for any of you. Huh?\ |
| 817 | ''(Bunny puts her head down in shame)''\ |
| 818 | '''Mister:''' Can't do it, can you? Look at what you did. All my kids is some damn Uncle Toms.\ |
| 819 | ''(Looks at his kids and finally addresses Uncle)''\ |
| 820 | '''Mister:''' And you're the worst! A black fool who hates himself so much, he can't even see what's in front of him in the mirror. Just another black nigga like the rest of us. |
| 821 | ** Later in the climax, Mister himself is at the receiving end of a speech like this (see "CallingTheOldManOut" in [[Characters/TheBoondocksSupportingCharacters Uncle Ruckus' folder]]). |
| 822 | * TheSociopath: What else do you call someone who willingly throws away and permanently disfigures ''their own innocent child'', without any hint of hesitation or remorse? |
| 823 | * ToughLove: Darryl and Darell suspect that Mister's abuse could have been his own twisted way of toughening them up for a [[CrapsackWorld tough world]]. |
| 824 | * TragicVillain: Considering how hateful his mother is, it's a small wonder the man has his fair share of problems. |
| 825 | * TroubledAbuser: As a child, he suffered relentless abuse at the hands of his mother, and then he suffered even more abuse while growing up working for white people. When he became a father, he went on to abuse his own children in the same way. Darrell and Darryl tell Uncle Ruckus that, on the few occasions where Mister wasn't drunk or angry, he'd just sit in a chair and cry. |
| 826 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:He tries to hit Uncle Ruckus when the latter finally stands up to him, only to fall into his mother's grave and break his neck when [[CrackOhMyBack his back gives out]].]] |

| 832 | ---- |
| 833 | * AccentuateTheNegative: Here's an example when she tried to teach history to Uncle: |
| 834 | -->'''Uncle:''' Mama, who was George Washington Carver?\ |
| 835 | '''Bunny:''' He's the man responsible for more peanut allergy deaths than anyone who ever lived. |
| 836 | * AdultsAreUseless: She may have loved all three of her sons, but was utterly worthless as any sort of proper role model. |
| 837 | * BoomerangBigot: While Bunny doesn't hate black people, she still thinks that they're inferior to white people. This helped influence Uncle's warped worldview. |
| 838 | * BothSidesHaveAPoint: Her husband may be right about the family being subservient to white people, but it at least meant that their sons didn't grow up to hold an ugly grudge against them like he did. Uncle was only one who became an actual racist compared to her, Darrell, and Darryl anyway. Though Mister's abuse did played a role in his racism. |
| 839 | * CharacterCatchphrase: ''(After Mister slaps Uncle)'' "Lord have mercy, ''my baby''!" |
| 840 | * KarmaHoudini: She gets off scot-free for making her son racist, and being a useless bystander to the abuse her husband suffered, which led to him taking it out on Uncle. |
| 841 | * NoSympathy: She shows ''no'' sadness at all when [[spoiler:her husband is killed, instead celebrating that she can now marry her white lover]]. |
| 842 | * UselessBystanderParent: Responsible for Uncle Ruckus' internalized racism, and also not providing her husband with emotional support after the abuse he suffered from his mom and some racist white men, and at the same time, failed to stop her husband's subsequent abuse of his son. |

| 851 | * AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Their appearances are only differentiated by their clothing. |
| 852 | * {{Nice Guy}}s: They're always very polite and respectful, despite the stressful family drama around them, and try and show some sympathy for their terrible father. |
| 853 | * {{Only Sane M|an}}en: They're the only ones in the Ruckus family who didn't grow up to be {{jerk|ass}}s and/or [[BoomerangBigot self-racists]]. Although their dad accuses them of being "Uncle Toms". |
| 854 | * ShoutOut: Darryl is dressed like Fat Albert and Darell like Mr. T. |
| 855 | * TokenGoodTeammate: At any rate, they seem to be the ''least'' pathetic excuses for human beings in their family. |
| 856 | * WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: Darell is married to a white woman, something which Bunny is proud of. Though considering the way she raised them with the "white = better" mentality, this was probably an inevitable subconscious result of their upbringing. |

| 868 | * CartwrightCurse: [[ILetGwenStacyDie He feels guilty about not being able to prevent]] [[DisposableWoman three of his girlfriends]] from getting brutally murdered by criminals: |

| 891 | * FatBastard: Looks to be just as obese as Uncle Ruckus (who he gets in a fight with), and has a similarly unpleasant personality. |
| 892 | * FatIdiot: He's really not as much an expert in politics or business as he arrogantly believes himself to be. |
| 893 | * HateSink: An odd play on the trope from Ed I, as killing Dan in a fake terrorist attack would make him into a "hero" who died doing his job; and due to how much of a fat whiny asshole he really was, no one would personally care if he is dead. Basically he'll make a good martyr, because dying is the best thing Dan could ever do. |
| 894 | * HypocriticalHumor: He calls a conservative radio talk show to complain about President Obama, claiming that he'll redistribute money to people who "just sit around getting fat and lazy". Guess what he was doing at the same time -- [[BigEater munching on a hamburger]] while watching TV on the job. |
| 895 | * {{Irony}}: He extolls the greatness of the free market...but it is the capitalist Wuncler who wants him dead for financial reasons. |
| 896 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's very rude and has an (undeservedly) large ego. |
| 897 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He refers to Obama as "Buck Ofama", implying he is a ''deeply'' prejudiced asshole. He also blames the fact that he isn't rich on the government taking money from him and giving it "lazy" poor people. |
| 898 | * PoorCommunicationKills: He was just trying to tell Ruckus that [[CassandraTruth the password to open the front door was "Eat my ass"]], but Ruckus was confused and irritated by this apparent irreverence, [[EnhancedInterrogationTechniques so he]] [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique stomped him]] [[GroinAttack in the nuts]]. |
| 899 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Even he deluded himself into thinking he's more important than he actually is; when calling the aforementioned radio show, he makes himself out to be a brave trooper "protecting the front lines" of American capitalism, and thinks he can become just as filthy rich as his employer Ed Wuncler. When really, he's no more than just a lazy rent-a-cop. |
| 900 | * StrawCharacter: Another unflattering stereotype of conservative Republicans. More specifically, of the populist working-class conservative who blames his lack of success as the fault of "others", not the system itself or his own lack of initiative. |

| 911 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: He claims that women would prefer abusive jerks like himself, rather than boring nice guys like Tom. |
| 912 | * AttentionWhore: Tom discovers that the store robbery Flizzy is being charged with was actually staged. It is also implied that all of Flizzy's crimes, with the exception of his assault on his girlfriend, weren't actually real and were faked just to keep his name in the news. |
| 913 | * TheCasanova: He's a notorious womanizer, and it really shows in his music (most of his song titles and lyrics are very sexually explicit). |

| 915 | * DomesticAbuse[=/=]WouldHitAGirl: He notably beat up his [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed girlfriend]] [[Music/{{Rihanna}} Christianna]]. Of all the crimes Flizzy was charged with, this is the only one he admits to being guilty of. |

| 920 | * MrFanservice: Something which he boasts about a lot, hence his stage name. |
| 921 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Flizzy is an obvious pastiche of Music/ChrisBrown, with both being young R&B singers who started out with great promise but became notorious for assaulting their girlfriends and subsequent legal troubles. Flizzy's girlfriend Christianna is herself a pastiche of Rihanna. |
| 922 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Pretty Boy Flizzy only acts like an idiotic jerk, just so he can get higher up on the ladder in the music industry, and maintain his status among his fanbase. |
| 923 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Pretty Boy Flizzy" is his stage name. |
| 924 | * WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: He has a song called "White Wife Booty". He also intentionally angers Tom by threatening to steal Sarah from him, so that Tom could finally man up. |

| 967 | * FearlessFool: Sturdy never hesitates from taking risks, and he never worries about danger. |

| 969 | * MadeOfIron: He's easily able to resist several blows from an angry mob due to his huge and muscular frame. |
| 970 | * MeaningfulName: ''Sturdy'' Harris is a very tough and strong man who sticks to his pacifistic morals in situations where lesser men would resort to violence just to defend themselves, making him live up to his given name in terms of body and in morale. |
| 971 | * SuicidalPacifism: Willingly faces racist mobs and trigger-happy police with no clear goal. |
| 972 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: During the episode's frame story (a present-day [[{{Mockumentary}} documentary]] consisting of interviews of Robert and the other Freedom Riders), Sturdy is nowhere to be seen, except in the flashbacks to 1961. Though unconfirmed, it's possible that he's [[PosthumousCharacter deceased]]. |

| 984 | * HartmanHips: PlayedForLaughs, Kardashia has a massive [[spoiler: fake]] ass that is apparently very dense and destroys everything it comes in contact with. |

| 1002 | * OurSpiritsAreDifferent: While Robert is trying to sleep, he sees Siri in the form of an ethereal blonde woman. |

| 1013 | ---- |
| 1014 | * AntiVillain: He can't really be considered evil due to him being surprisingly civil with anybody who isn't Robert Freeman, on top of being completely willing to end the feud between his original self and Robert peacefully, something the original Stinkmeaner would never do. In fact, the only reason ''why'' he's antagonistic towards Robert [[JustFollowingOrders is because he was instructed to do so in the first place]]. |
| 1015 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: The clone has several shades of this, due to his purpose dictated by OG Stinkmeaner [[JerkassToOne is to mess around with Robert Freeman]]. Everyone else, the Clone is mostly civil towards which makes the Clone more of a {{Troll}}; especially after he and Robert makes peace. |
| 1016 | * AvengingTheVillain: Subverted. The clone never knew the original Stinkmeaner, he just thinks that his only purpose in life is to annoy Robert Freeman like his predecessor did. After the clone is defeated, Robert decides to make peace with him: |
| 1017 | -->'''Stinkmeaner's Clone:''' "Well sure, [[YouDidntAsk all you had to do was ask]]. I don't even know you, I'm just the clone." |
| 1018 | * HandicappedBadass: [[AvertedTrope Heavily Averted]], Clone Stinkmeaner has enhanced strength and martial arts skills. While The clone wears the same sunglasses and uses the cane as his template OG Stinkmeaner; it seems purely cosmetic since at several times Clone Stinkmeaner reacts to visual stimuli, indicating that the Clone has decent eyesight. |
| 1019 | * BornAsAnAdult: The clone is confused as to why he's an old man biologically, despite only being a few years old chronologically. |
| 1020 | -->''[[YoungerThanTheyLook If you cloned me when you say you did, shouldn't I still be a little kid?]]'' |
| 1021 | * CloneAngst: Subverted, as he doesn't really feel any different knowing he's a clone, only that he's alive and the other guy's dead. |
| 1022 | * EvilIsHammy / LaughablyEvil: Just like the original! |
| 1023 | * {{Jerkass}}: Just as mean as the first Stinkmeaner. |
| 1024 | * RootingForTheEmpire: In-universe example. Stinkmeaner's clone gets a large fan base who support his side of the Nigga Moment against Robert. |
| 1025 | * VillainForgotToLevelGrind: At the beginning of the episode, Clone Stinkmeaner was able to deliver a proper ass-whupin' on Robert Freeman until the Cops showed up. Then after Ed Wuncler planned to televise a Stinkmeaner vs. Robert match, Stinkmeaner spent the week doing interviews and TV promotions: all the while Robert Freeman having slowly undergoing the effects of the Nigga Moment to become more vicious than Stinkmeaner was, becomes even stronger than the Clone, resulting in their fight a week later being lopsided in Roberts favor and rendering the combat mods Stinkmeaners' Clone had completely useless. |

| 1046 | * BerserkButton: He's furious whenever Riley says the word "retarded". |
| 1047 | * DitzyGenius: Philbert seems to have some kind of mental handicap or illness himself, but he's smart enough to lead a special interest organization (and much like Walter and Rollo, he knows how to extort people). He's also an amazing artist, able to draw a very elaborate sketch in just a few minutes. |
| 1048 | * {{Greed}}: He's really more concerned about money than politics. |
| 1049 | * InkSuitActor: Has a very uncanny resemblence to Tommy Lister. |

| 1052 | * StrawCharacter: Yet another straw activist. |
| 1053 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He really likes to drink strawberry milk. |
| 1054 | * WouldHurtAChild: Ruthlessly grabs Riley by the collar and throws him to the ground, leaving him at the mercy of several other special needs kids after Riley decides he doesn't wanna be in the race anymore and calling the other kids [[BerserkButton retards]]. |
