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