Bob Ross was a sergeant in the military. His gentle persona was a deliberate choice to turn away from cruelty and violence. The more you learn about him, the more respect you find he deserves.

Editor throwing a ton of shade this episode 😂 "y'all watch TV for your damn job"

[@Crescentknight8189]

I loved this episode because they rarely address Huey and Riley’s parents, but occasionally, they’ll do episodes where you can tell it’s still a sore subject and the boys are still dealing with it in different ways.

[@manicmcgee1]

"He kinda had a blonde fro" The confidence they have when spouting wrong shit never ceases to amaze me lmfao

[@ThePenpachi]

Even when they were looking at the picture of him, they doubled down.

[@cjjackson2423]

Im like it was kinda darker, but he's definitely supposed to be portraying him tho 😅

[@noelramirez1551]

And he was born in Daytona Beach Florida

ft especially the guy at the very left and he always spoils shit if he's watched it

[@wiiman218]

I rewatched this episode recently, and literally had me tearing up over Riley’s mural at the end. And I’m pretty sure those’r Riley & Huey’s parents.

[@vitorsaraiva5046]

i am shocked to see there are people that think its grandad and his wife, that doesnt make sense

Huey and Riley's parents are right. That factoid is mentioned in the DVD commentary.

Bob Ross was in the military, on the medical team, but that still requires military combat training

[@SolidSnake240]

Yea when the bullets start flying, everyone basically becomes infantry

[@NebyuGameFreak]

I did some heavy research (took me bout 5 minutes). And it turns out that the painting at the end of the episode was Riley's deceased parents. Bob Ross told him to "paint someone you love... Someone who's not around anymore." It wouldn't make sense to be Granddad because he's not deceased. This was confirmed to be Huey and Riley's parents. That's why Granddad started crying because he misses "his" son.

[@toryliam]

Granddad isn't deceased but his wife probably is. The pic that Riley took from the photo album looked like an old school wedding photo from Granddad's younger years

[@KevinWilsonJr.]

Incorrect. The painting is a younger version of Granddad and his deceased wife.

[@alaasusername]

In case anyone was wondering about the music Chris was referring to: The song featured in the show was: "Today" by Tom Scott feat. The California Dreamers The song Chris was talking about that sampled this song is: "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

Love this episode. Every time I see grandads reaction to the mural I get just a lil teary-eyed.

[@Siddhartha92]

If you guys havent watched the episode of Bob Ross coming into the studio to film an episode the day his wife died is one of the most soul crushing episodes in TV history.

[@Animedingo]

A lot of people including myself think the painting at the end is their parents, but grandad and his wife also works

[@wizofauzz]

5:41 I think Pat confused Bob Ross for Rick Ross and then confused Rick Ross with Rick Astley

[@jinxie712]

The guy tackling the woman in the office was Terry Tate Office Linebacker. Was popular Reebok ads.

[@VegaSlides]

I always tear up at the end, right before Grandad gets me laughing again lmao. Definitely one of Boondocks' best episodes.

[@thgritic102]

This episode is so underrated, & why i rhink Riley would be a street artist/muralist when he's older. I truly think he's talented in black artist & would go down that route mostly once he mature bc when he does something he loves, even lowkey about it, he exceeds in it. Plus, it shows a bit of his softer side (he is 8) when it's nurtured. He misses his parents (i feel like they're his parents w/ Robert's son & his wife). This is why I wish we got more on what happened to them & why no one else in tbe family wanted them. Could show where Riley & Huey's personalities came from.

[@tokukeitaro]

Those were Riley and Hueys parents. And Bob Ross was a drill sergeant in the Air Force. He spent his tv career being the opposite of how he was as a sergeant.

[@danielscott5673]

Many fans have concluded that the mural Riley paints at the end of the episode is his parents. This is evidenced by many things: #1.When showing the mural from Robert's perspective, it's mostly focused on the man, which would make sense since the man would be Robert's son. If Robert were looking at his own wedding picture, he would presumably focus on his wife rather than looking at himself. #2. The art teacher told Riley to paint "someone he loves . . . someone who's not around anymore". Given that many believe it's Robert and his wife, it wouldn't make sense for Riley to paint his grandfather as well, unless he was dead. #3. Huey stated in episode 3 that when he was three, he thought Robert was gay due to never seeing him with another woman, possibly because his wife was dead. Given that Riley would still be one at that age, he would not have any memory of his grandmother since she was deceased. #4. The style of dress, hair and makeup worn by the bride would fit much better for a wedding in the 1980s/90s (when Riley and Huey's parents were married) than the 1940s/50s when Robert and his wife got married.

[@jspsand7085]

For n2 I assumed he took that advice and make the mural for grampa not for himself, also would tie to his lack of trust for his grandson art talent.

[@rabaaquest5787]

I always thought the picture at the end was Huey and Riley's parents.

[@taheahshahdaiah6422]

One of the best episodes in my opinion.

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Huey is doing a parody of the real life "Super Size Me" documentary movie

[@THE202]

The camera focuses on the male when Grandad looks at the painting which implies he’s Grandad’s son, so these are in fact Huey and Riley’s parents.

[@Blevins15]

8:42 If anyone is curious that's a reference to some old skits/commercials called 'Terry Tate: Office Linebacker' - fuckin hilarious, I highly recommend lol.

[@kristindominguez7927]

This is my favorite Boondocks episode lol I love the Bob Ross reference.

I love this ep. Good parody of Bob Ross. I nearly choked when Pat recognized who it was right away and was so excited! 😂

[@AlwaysUsENT]

I thought that was supposed to their parents. The man looked like Huey and the woman looked like Riley. The first episode grandad talks about their inheritance, n it was supposed to be someone who isn’t with them anymore

[@KevonTheGolden]

There’s a fan debate if that’s young granddad and his wife or Riley’s and Hueys Parents

[@otisroseboro5613]

As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To The Boondocks, Everyone

Top 10 episode for me, the ending was touching and the message as usual was on point.

[@GundiMike]

One of the best episodes of the show.

[@whotfduece08]

The mural is Huey's and Riley's parents. They never knew There grandma i think. They were probably too young when there parents died but still, also Grandpa would have wearer glasses if that was him

[@musayt]

The song is called "Today" by Tom Scott. One of the greatest rift sampled by Pete Rock and CL Smooth for T.R.O.Y.

[@anothervagabond]

"Does it have to be houses though?" I think that's the point, the premise of the show is that the kids are suddenly living in the suburbs, where a bunch of houses are the only things around you. There aren't any businesses or public buildings to tag, just an endless hellscape of shitty houses and shitty lawns.

[@edoe5915]

I still think that is Huey and Riley's Parents Granddad was shown when he was young and thats not him on the wall

[@ItsAVolcano]

In regards to the real Bob Ross's hair color, it was a light brown that darkened as he got older. Confusion comes from his earlier show which had an awkward lighting setup that washed out his hair making it look like it got blonde at the ends.

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction! This was a fun one!

[@Luna-vt2ys]

It’s actually his mother and father

[@joelsasmad]

I wish we got more Bob Ross in this show. I love his interaction with Riley here

[@nichescenes]

Surprised they didn’t talk about how beautiful this episodes ending and theme was. I think cause boondocks is seen as a joke it gets less credit for when it’s not doing straight political satire. I honestly think it’s emotional moments are better. The political satire can come off rote sometimes given you already know your side of the argument and it’s just saying that that yeah notice that thing you notice already. We agree/disagree. Instead of well you never considered this. Maybe they aren’t super into the series yet. To be fair the show front loads silly episodes to hook people. Pet peeve of mine that shows considered “deep” and taken seriously and put on pedestals are those that tell you their themes with sappy music and it feels like a lecture vs simple on the surface but also deep shows.

[@Deadpool-fh6ve]

14:32 There's alot of discussion whether it's supposed to be grandad and his wife, or if it's supposed to be the boy's parents

[@beethewizard]

In NYC youths can reside in juvenile detention as early as seven years old.

[@DarkxSonxOfxDathomir]

Most states won’t send a child to Juvie over a misdemeanor. Although they’ll threaten it with every breath, in all actuality it’s just a small fine. The process of persecution and sentencing, as well as the upkeep for the prisoner during their time in is way more expensive.

[@jayrule13]

I dont understand why you guys dont get that this show doesnt have to make the character look perfectly like the celebrity for us to know who it is. They do it on PURPOSE! Why are we stuck on his hair color, we all knew it was Bob Ross!! And yes, its a parody so he's gonna do crazy stuff sooner or later. That is why we love the Boondocks. Winston Jerome didnt look like Tyler Perry, but we all know who it is. The teacher saying "niggaaaah" looks nothing like the real life teacher, but we know who it is.

[@MrSmith-ot9ei]

I wish the creators of Boondocks featured an episode that focused on the boys' parents.....and what happened to them.

[@gaaraofthefunk2011]

18:24 dont forget the episode that tyler perry got pulled the episode pause

[@saltyk9869]

It's never really clear who Riley painted at the end. It could have been his grandmother or his parents. Both make sense in context.

It's his parents confirmed on the DVD commentary

I swear the single shared brain cell has never been more evident, you have chris and spidey who both think he was blonde for some reason, we already discussed pat, you have rana who thinks hes chubby and doesnt have a fro (I have no idea who shes thinking of) and then you have navi who is the only person on the couch who knows what bob ross looks like lmao.

Lol I don’t understand why you guys got so hung up on whether it was literally Bob Ross, it’s obviously just a reference to him. I believe it’s never been officially confirmed who the was in the mural but I took it to be the boy’s parents.

15:06 One of the most heartwarming scenes in the entire series and she calls it stupid. Cringe. Why even watch the show

[@lolajaramillo4620]

I keep replaying that response of hers in my head. I had thought that she was using, "stupid" as meaning something cool, from having used, or having heard slang speech before. But the look on her face suggests that she may actually mean that she thought it was dumb for Riley to do that image for his painting.. I chose for my own sake to go and continue to assume that it was the former response that she had.

[@Tyhar93]

Bob Ross is probably one of the only recognizable white dude's with an afro. So yes, most people immediately think Bob Ross. Especially once he starts talking lol
