Alright, enough of this nonsense.


{{Film/Black Dynamite}}'s got a show on Creator/AdultSwim. It's got tropes and shit.

-Ahem- To be more direct, its a animated continuation of the movie ''Film/BlackDynamite'' which was a parody of blaxploitation films. The series pretty much ratchets up the silliness [[UpToEleven to eleven]] by mixing in supernatural, extraterrestrial and just whacked out nonsense to its plots as Black Dynamite and his crew take on any threats that seek to put the black man down.

{{Film/Black Dynamite}}'s got a show on Creator/AdultSwim. It's got tropes ''Black Dynamite'' is an 2012 AnimatedAdaptation of the 2009 movie ''Film/BlackDynamite'', which was an AffectionateParody of {{Blaxploitation}} films. The series does not follow the same StylisticSuck of the movie, instead it ratchets up the silliness by mixing in supernatural, extraterrestrial, and shit.
just whacked out nonsense to its plots, largely derived from 1970s black pop culture, as Black Dynamite and his crew take on any threats that seek to put the black man down.

* ShoutOut
** The Pilot:
*** The antagonists are pastiches of [[TheMuppetShow the Muppets]], being led by a pimped-out (Literally) KermitTheFrog. He rides around on a [[StealthPun Big Bird]], and an Oscar the Grouch parody starts fighting with Black Dynamite and crew the second he sees them. Makes sense they'd live on [[SesameStreet Puppet Street]].
*** The exposition gives another Muppet-reference;
** ''Jackson Five Across Yo' Eyes''
*** BD's nightmare has Michael Jackson dressed up as PeterPan and he ends up taking Cream Corn and the occupants of the Whorephanage with him to [[IncrediblyLamePun Neverland]].
*** The alien spaceship chimes a familiar [[CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind tune]] as if Michael Jackson was Hee-Heeing it.
** ''Bullhorn Nights''
*** The plot kicks off with the murder of a porn star named Ringo Mandingo. Other porn stars mentioned are Isaac Layes, [[StarWars Darth Invader]] and [[ElvisPresley Pelvis Presley]].
*** Both of the episode's titles are shout-outs, to ''BoogieNights'' and ''MurderSheWrote''.
** ''Taxes and Death''
*** Black Dynamite being hounded by the IRS for $60,000 might refer to Wesley Snipes getting nailed for tax evasion.
*** From the same episode:
--> ''Richard Pryor:'' [[Film/StirCrazy (while strutting into a jail cell) That's right; we bad, we bad!]]
** ''A Crisis For Christmas''
*** The Amazon Moon Bitches are a ShoutOut to ''AmazonWomenOnTheMoon''.

*** When O.J. Simpson gets plowed by a comet while trying to stay clear of BD:
-->'''Black Dynamite:''' HA-HAH!! I THREW THAT ROCK BEFORE I LEFT THE MOON!!
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: When Black Dynamite interrogates a ninja, he asks said ninja what Fiendish Dr. Wu's doing and what he's up to. Lampshaded by the ninja:
--> '''Ninja:''' Wait, if I tell you what he's doing, then why do I have to tell you what he's up to? That's like the same thing!
** In another episode, Black Dynamite responds to a report of a murderous killing.

* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler: Michael Jackson]], who is, according to the show, actually a half-alien who intends for his race to overtake the planet.
* [[EscortMission Escort Episode]]: One episode has Black Dynamite & co. escorting a cocaine-addicted Richard Pryor to the Sunset Strip, while the IRS is busy hunting him for $60 thousand in unpaid taxes.
* GagPenis: Ringo Mandingo has one close to a meter at least. And when it was [[IncrediblyLamePun dismembered]] in his murder it was how Bullhorn recognized that Cousin Ringo was the victim.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Amazon Moon Bitches.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Michael Jackson]] is one; being half-human, half-alien.
* HistoricalInJoke: Even more so than the movie, with strong doses of RefugeInAudacity.
** ''Jackson Five Across Yo' Eyes'' [[spoiler: depicts Michael Jackson's post-plastic surgery pale face and hair as being his actual HalfHumanHybrid form, and [[BlackComedy hilariously]] has Michael ''framing'' Joe Jackson for the childhood abuse]].

* IceCreamKoan: A ninja accompanying Black Dynamite on a trip to Michael Jackson's father gives us this little tidbit.
--> '''Head Ninja In Charge:''' Ninjas do wrong to each other sometimes, and in that way, the force of the earth comes around the moon, and at that presence, the dirt, it overshadows the grass, so you like "I can't cut this grass; there's no sun coming through." So in order to enable each other, the two fruits have to look each other in the eye, understand we can only be ripe as the ripe is wrong. You know what I mean?
--> '''Black Dynamite:''' Man, I never thought I'd see the day when the only person talking any sense was a damn ninja.
* InsaneTrollLogic: How Black Dynamite deduces who murdered Ringo Mandingo in Bullhorn Nights

Cut to: [[spoiler: Black Dynamite's bedroom, where the woman is hilariously reciting the ingredients during sex with Black Dynamite.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Overlaps with BrickJoke. After OJ Simpson betrays Black Dynamite and leaves him for dead in space, Black Dynamite lands on the moon and throws a moon rock at the earth while cursing OJ's name. OJ in the meantime, claims all the glory for being a NASA hero. Black Dynamite manages to get back home just in time to see the moon rock crash through the roof of the Whorephanage and knock OJ out. Black Dynamite even mentions it's the very same rock he threw right before he left the moon.
* ManOnFire: In ''Taxes and Death'', a basehead gets caught on fire while doing cocaine; Black Dynamite mistakes said basehead as Richard Pryor.
** Pryor ends up on fire for a short moment near the end, though.
* NWordPrivileges: Parodied with the ninjas in the first episode, who use the word "ninja" as a euphemism for the n-word proper; whereas Black Dynamite and co. are fine using ninja in that context, a white police officer who uses it gets beat up.
* OverlyLongGag: Although not as beautifully long as the one from the movie proper, Bullhorn Nights has Black Dynamite solve the episode's mystery with two minutes of InsaneTrollLogic.
* ParallelPornTitles: The second episode has examples in the form of ''[[BigTroubleInLittleChina Big Trouble in Little Vagina]]'', ''[[Film/OceansEleven Ocean's Eleven Inches]]'', and, for an example relevant to the story, ''[[Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wanker and the Chocolate Fucktory]]''. The episode's title: ''[[BoogieNights Bullhorn Nights]], or [[MurderSheWrote Murder, She Throats]]''.
* RefugeInAudacity: Quite a lot of things in the series, but special mention goes to the [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Amazon Moon Bitches]], whose home base was shaped like a pregnant woman laying on her back with her legs spread open. The censored hole in between the legs was a WaveMotionGun designed to destroy the Earth.
* RhymesOnADime: Bullhorn apparently picked up the habit (and his mustache) from his mother.
* RunningGag
** Black Dynamite ''will'' be interrupted in the middle of something every episode.
** Roscoe still serves meals consisting of questionable combinations (turkey necks and muffins, jell-o and grits, etc.).
* ShoutOut
