N tha fact they make Bob Ross look like a straight g is dope asf .. rest in peace a man like Bob Ross

[@LadyLeomon]

You can’t deny though that more often than not Riley is just an unrepentant little sh*t. Hell I’m writing a fanfic where his babysitter (but Robert calls him a warden) where the unfortunate teen tasked with making sure Huey Riley and Huey don’t kill each other is always calling Riley an unrepentant little sh*t (when off-duty), Riley in turn calls him “chilli cracker” on account of him being a white, redhead and doesn’t care for the older teen at all but when Riley mouths off to the wrong person his warden is there to save him from a whooping. He even tells Riley “I know *you* are not stupid, but you make stupid *choices.”* Sure Riley has his good points but he’s still a little sh*t most of the time 🤣🤣🤣

Yea Season 1 was a humble and enjoyable season. I used to think it was boring compared to 2 and 3 but looking back, simple moments like this were so beautiful in the show. We really should've gotten better closure to the Boondocks, season 4 is just sad.

[@HyperiaxonRex]

Color of Ruckus has some really emotional moments in Season 3. Gangstalicious pt. 2 from season 2 can bring a tear to your eye at the end when you think about how everyone turned on him and made him a pariah just because he was gay. Every season had at least one episode that brought out the thug tears. I do agree so far as this was probably the most touching moment out of all of them though.

His character model is in the background of a few future episodes but it’s hard to tell if it’s really him or not

Another great part of this episode is that we saw Huey being “dumbed down” by the media he was taking in. We also see how Riley changes when he has somebody there for him, instead of the media influences he has.

All these years I thought it was Robbert but now it makes me even more sad

[@DomPeriod]

Not to mention Robert wore glasses in his younger years.

[@IdunnoBroIjdk]

And the brilliance of this scene too is that Huey got stuck watching BET to try and understand it. He went from being a kind, compassionate and intelligent young man to a vegetable watching programming that was bad for him. Whereas with Robert the memories of his son slowly came back, with Huey you see him snap out of it immediately. As if all the love and compassion his parents gave him came flooding back in that moment.

First time I saw this I couldn't believe that scene! It was beautiful! Riley really dugged inside himself when the art teacher told him "Let's paint a picture of...someone who's not here with us anymore." I think I cried alittle when I saw this and Tom Scott song playing sampled by Pete Rock and CL Smooth and you hear the horns! I'm not sure but I heard rumors of the show that Huey and Riley parents died. When this show started I thought Huey and Riley's mom couldn't give her kids a better life so she let them live with their grandfather! Thought the father might've died before they was born!..Anyway I gotta feeling what Riley painted had to be his grandmother and grandfather! If anybody looked when Riley looked at some old photos from the basement they was black and white wedding pictures had to be in the 60's! I'm pretty sure if their parents were married their wedding pics had to be in the 90's they had color back then! The Boondocks should've had a better last season! It seemed like it was different writers for different episodes putting a twist to their own creativity! You can look on wikipedia it didn't had Aaron McGruder in no writing category they had some chinese or japanese and american writers on this season! It was a complete waste! McGruder made Boondocks for what it is I remember reading them in the sunday newspaper when I was younger! He could've did one more entry to exit the season and forever.

I really didn't appreciate this episode when it first came out but later installments really made it stick out more.

Between this and when Huey prays during the season finale are two of the emotionally stirring scenes in the show.

[@Solar20XX]

I loved this scene. It's powerful scenes like this that gives you a great and/or heavy feeling towards this and yourself, all while keeping it's comedic nature _(as seen clearly at the end of this video. It mixed in well, in my opinion. Hilarious)_. Now, even though I enjoyed S4 of the Boondocks myself _(despite the many noticeable problems many people already pointed out that I can understand)_, there unfortunately isn't anything in there as great as scenes like this _(to my knowledge)_ that you usually get from the first and second seasons of the Boodocks.

+Solar Definitely. Personally the only episodes from 4 that really did it for me were Freedom Ride or Die, I Dream of Siri and The New Black. Meanwhile, Pretty Boy Flizzy is one of the most unnecessary episodes ever made since Tom, Sarah and Usher already exists and did the same job much better.

Riley Wuz Here ~ "Let's paint a picture of someone you love. Maybe someone who's not with us anymore." Arguably Greatest Boondocks Episode..... 🙏🏾💯

[@q8tenchi]

As a kid of the 90s, I miss Bob Ross

[@Eravial]

This is a cover of Jefferson Airplane's original, "Today." Nice.

[@hyperx72]

So there's a well known hip hop sample that's from a 60's pop song that's a cover of another 60's pop song

This scene still gets me in my feels. In my opinion, the Best scene in Boondocks.

[@synderkinn6391]

this episode was flat out amazing. Easily one of my favorites.

[@Prop]

I watched when it first aired, downloaded season one, and just watched the clip a couple of times today. Still get chocked up; awesome scene.

[@komradematt8025]

this is not a show for everyone but it should be experienced by everyone.

[@Nayanaya229-z7w]

I cried when I saw this episode for the first time!!!! I love the Boondocks

[@Fixiefre123ak]

if I live old enough to have kids I will show them the greatest TV show ever made 😄 man this scene is just so amazing ☺

[@BenjerminGaye]

it turns to shit after season 3

[@SutekhChroma]

I revisit this scene and episode all the time just because of how much it made my day when I was younger and still does. ≤3 wouldn't know about Today without it, either. RIP, Bob.

"Lets draw a picture of someone you love, maybe someone whos not with us anymore" when riley painted his grandma, i just teared up T-T

[@NormalXP99]

One of the best scenes in the show and highly underrated one at that.

[@bobmcbigberry3362]

0:30 The real Bob Ross served as a drill sergeant in the Air Force for 20 years, and when he changed careers he decided to leave that intense, violent part of his life behind him. He probably didn't really like the police either.

[@bennettcooper4048]

When the Pete Rock and CL Smooth sample comes in😍

[@fsumpter]

This brought tears to my eyes as well. A great episode.

[@rayarayson3381]

Who needs this as a reminder right now in 2021?! 2023 I’m still in awe in this scene the way he grabbed him and put him in the car was nothing but love. Shows we can still get along with each other if only we want to understand each other

[@christianwilkerson7059]

Man this 2 min felt like 10 . Enjoyed the hell out of this episode

[@jasperdoggydude]

this scene, this song, this show- i'll never get tired of them

[@jacob700e]

Bittersweet moment This show was great wish it had more moments like these

[@jeremybrown9611]

God damn after all these years just realizing that T.R.O.Y. was sampled in. Just beautiful!

[@Griffith74]

your half right T.R.O.Y. sampled this song which the episode used kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYqugZZjedSihNE

I was in 5th grade when this episode aired, I’m now 26 and had to bury my childhood baby sitter this past weekend, for her funeral I created a montage of all my friends she watched as children (who are now ages 33-16) all saying farewell and telling a good memory of her, but I opened it with the audio from this episode “Let’s paint a picture of someone you love, maybe…. Someone whose not with us anymore” 🥲 I’ve been making videos since 2008 and I never cried during editing until I threw that in there and played the finished product for the first time ❤️🙏🏾…. Thank You Aaron McGruder

[@CVESVR707]

This ep DEFINITELY made me cry rewatching it
