[[WMG: The cancelled reboot would have had previous antagonists team up to take down Uncle Ruckus]]
Every single villain one shot or otherwise would have set aside their differences to help the Freemans take down Ruckus once and for all.

[[WMG: The Boondocks reboot will get uncancelled]]
I hope so anyway...

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Given the move from Creator/AdultSwim to Creator/HBOMax, the show will eagerly take advantage of the relative lack of censorship and newfound freedom that comes with it; there will be ''[[UpToEleven a lot more]]'' instances of uncensored profanity, sexual humor, and bloody violence.

*** No need for any of this, as this show is getting a ContinuityReboot soon anyways.

[[WMG: The episode "Bitches to Rags" was meant to be a representation of the five stages of grief]]
In this episode, Otis' rapping career as "Thugnificent" is falling apart around him, and in many ways, his actions and reactions were written to represent the five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
** Denial: Otis keeps trying to reassure Riley that everything's okay and that his career is doing just fine despite that everything clearly isn't given the run-down state his mansion's in.
** Anger: Otis lashes out at Sergeant Gudda on live radio, basically taking out his dying career out on him and blaming him for the "corruption" of the music industry.
** Bargaining: Willing to do whatever it takes to keep his career afloat, he resorts to getting a job (which works as well as one would expect) to even attempting to sell crack and cocaine (which, ''also'' works [[HilarityEnsues as well as one would expect]])
** Depression: He wakes up in the Freeman's house feeling defeated, ultimately coming to terms with the fact that his days as a rich rapper are over and leaves with somber disposition.
** Acceptance: Otis is able to regain his happy-go-lucky outlook on life and is now finding a way to make it back into fame even if it isn't through music.

Besides Luna's matches being explicitly based off of ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'', there is the noteworthy detail that everyone seems to be skilled at fighting, but no normal training or tactics is ever mentioned. Ed III doesn't act like a combat vet, he acts like he's living in a First Person Shooter. Huey seems to have learned how to wield a katana by watching ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'', and Cindy seems to have learned to fight by watching ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.

* Eiither by Huey or Grandad, Riley will get slapped and lectured on for using the word "gay" as an insult, as before the rise of LGBTQ+ acceptance, homophobic remarks used to unfortunately be more acceptable. This will be done to highlight how modernized The Boondocks has become.
