i guess thats why the boondocks exists

if japan isn't going to make black animes than america will do it

and still kinda flub it because uncle ruckus is annoying and unfunny

I really thought for the longest time that Hope in Final Fantasy 13 was the retconned appearance of the black character's son from the first game.

boondocks can fuck off

season 1 and 2 were alright

than they said fuck it for season 3 let's forget everything about the first seasons

everything about trying to rise above the medias portrayal off black people? NAH FUCK IT LET'S MAKE MORE RUCKUS EPISODES

OR MORE RILEY EPISODES

I remember when I started watching Boondocks because everyone at school was.

And then I realised they were watching it without understanding it was satire and taking all the black jokes to heart because they had never seen black people before and that was all they had to go off of.

Then the show started being unfunny.

[up]that is actually when i stopped watching so hey it's not just me

also huey kinda got mouthpiecey after a while

You know how one of the many complaints against Family Guy was that Brian was basically Seth MacFarlane's mouthpiece? Huey felt like that. He showed up to be right about things.

I mean I get that you kind of have to have a straight man to the funny man thing so I understand why the change was made, but the whole joke with Huey was that he was a radical reformist talking about all these wild political ideas and whatnot which is why nobody took him seriously. They had that for the first episode where they had a throwaway line from the comic about Ronald Reagan being Satan because all three of his names had six letters but after that he was just "there to be right" and faded into the background until the moral needed to be delivered.

i really liked the first couple seasons, honestly

it did reach a point where it was more about cheap gags than anything else and i lost interest

i can see what you're saying about huey but

brian/family guy in general is so terrible i cant really put them in the same category

but yes he did undergo a similar problem

when season 4 hit

the writing just dropped IMMENSELY in quality

there was one episode which was basically "Hey look, we can do Breaking Bad, too!" and then another was just sex jokes featuring old people, which sounds more like a Family Guy premise than a Boondocks one

Riley became a stereotyped version of himself which seemed impossible but it happened

he went from a wannabe kid who would follow any fad to just a gangster who could somehow do anything

the fucking Stinkmeaner arc kept going why the fuck was that still a thing holy shit

well i mean obviously boondocks's worst is still better than family guy's best

and you've gotta admit that animation was gorgeous

[up]didn't stinkmeaner die?

twice?

whoops link fixed wrong one

this series went from comedic satire about things going on in the black community

to

rehashed jokes and racism

for fucks sake, this series gave us Return of the King

what the fuck happened

hold on, no black person works at BET

i watched BET once during the brief month we had cable

it was some girl shaking her ass into the camera while someone poured champagne on it, I think

it made me uncomfortable so i changed the channel

i didn't know what BET stood for, I just thought I accidentally found porn

@spazz: oh yeah, i never got the feeling you thought otherwise

but brian is just basically just two things

1. jokes about bestiality - oh look he's dating another human woman guys wow

2. angry rants that would not look out of place on the worst of r/atheism

it really makes me wonder why i don't just become a writer if this is the sort of bar that's being set

maybe i'll make a show about an animated cat that's always trying to get laid and talks about how great the Bush era was, just to do something different

that was probably some music video

so you were probably watching 106 & Park cause they used to show music videos all the time

it's so weird how so much of the stuff from the Bush era is now a period piece

Have you seen Ghost Stories?

Funny, but dated as hell.
