[@stevewinword9266]

[@jbull21217]

Jon Witherspoon is a legend.. and i love the black jesus series he plays in.. i cant stop watching it and laughing.. i really enjoyed how honest he was about the late robin williams..

[@steezbird]

It's a shame, The Boondocks was one of the greatest animated series I've seen! RIP Huey Riley and Grandpa )=

[@get2danews925]

rip to a legend🙏 #pops #bangbang #johnwitherspoon

[@TalentedKamarty]

3 episodes a week?!?!?!!!? Daaamn they was tryna kill my boy lol

[@CaseyStellar]

Kamarty Petersen No, they're just thieving hacks. I'd sue for my shit back.

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

Kamarty Petersen i don't know why those idiots would ever mess with a show like this by putting this kind of pressure on the creator

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

Casey Stellar they should've definitely been sued

[@longliveart4362]

Birnie Mac style

[@Statuslock]

He should've thought about et n realized et was a scam. NO animation company can even produced episodes that fast lmao. EVEN if he wrote ten episodes a week lmao.

[@aliceebby0905]

at least he's real w it ☺️

[@danzellewilliams4370]

Rest in heaven John Witherspoon

[@KimBlaQue]

The Boondocks went to shit after Aaron left....even John said it

[@DangerousUrNot]

I was so excited for this season of the boondocks and when it finally came out, I could only watch the first 5 episodes. It was trash!! Where the hell was ganstalicous, thugnificent and the back & forth with Riley and Huey? Uncle Ruckus only appeared here and there also, total disappointment.

[@DarkActionGirl]

Yep. It's really sad how far The Boondocks has fallen even though it had some flaws and duds most episodes used to be interesting, thought provoking and really funny now it's just Family Guy but with black people as the main characters... tbh the show should've ended with season 3 "It's Going Down" was not the best finale ever in tv history but it was a fitting end to the series and much better then the crap that was in season 4.

[@jamkillumi]

It was bloody awful.

[@viewtifulmorannp6185]

***** Besides, they turned Robert (Granddad) into a Nowadays-Homer Simpson clone. What was the point of the Siri episode? It was like one of those stupid actual Simpsons episode when they make fun of everything to do with.........EVERYTHING from successful merchandising. Riley felt like an android trying to be like Riley (I wonder where the real Riley was, he must be in the basement, scared and crying for help, poor Riley). Huey is dead. That character was not Huey, its a Terminator from the future and came to take Huey's place since the original killed himself with his own katana when he saw Aaron McGruder leave the show. In other words: Huey is as lifeless as a Terminator in this Season. Robert's crotch been run over by that old kinda-pimp bitch's electric chair was supposed to be funny? It felt like that disgusting unfunny moment from Spongebob in the House Fancy episode when Squidward....forget it, im not going back there. I wish it was Eddie Wuncler Jr. the one who got that treatment instead of Robert. I have a lot more thing to say about that season but all i have to say now is: Season 4 killed The Boondocks.

[@BennyChristian]

the men in the suit always gotta be the one to fuck shit up

[@_2_first_names]

man watching this makes he miss my grandpop...he was hood just like john witherspoon!

[@walroz87]

This man the most not-trying funny man ive ever seen!! Growing up in Europe I saw way too little of Witherspoon but when I did finally get to see him I knew he was special. Like Robin Williams special but this dude just had something different. He was slick and had stuff figured out before he said it he would have figured out the 3rd and 4th possible outcome.. There was always some clevernes behind his every observation he seemed to know how to read people and a room of people very fast. Clever man but a god of social construct. I adore this man and I never met him. Now thats charisma!! RIP Witherspoon. You are truly a legend!

[@SoulBrotha91]

Man I love this guy to death! He gives me life everytime I watch somethin of his, and to this day I still imitate all his adlibs and catchphrases. I knew I wasn't the only one who caught onto usher using that "bang bang bang" phrase in that good kisser song. I immediately picked that up and he said in the same form/pace that john says it in. That robin williams story was crazy, didn't expect him to reveal that "Yittideee! Money being made around here..money being made around here" All my people who watched the wayans bros know what I'm talkin about

[@nipos5734]

I love this guy. He always makes me laugh.

[@niknikky]

Lmao @ the Robin Williams story. John told this story on the Foxxhole a few years back.

[@jrpimpjuice]

Spoon kept it real. Gotta love old black folks for that! RIP Hoover Vacuum!

[@Beerfourtwenty]

Amazing interview! Thank you for sharing!

[@yellowman9941]

Lolll I can watch him all day

[@johnduffy6992]

A comedy legend and a nice guy.. thats rare. God Bless him.

[@TJG1211]

[@404goldenchild]

[@FILMLYFE]

Yo John Witherspoon is too funny!! Had me dying. I don't think we realize he is a living legend and he's somebody that until he is gone that's when people miss him. So we should definitely appreciate him while he is here I wanna see him more stuff.

[@get2danews925]

Legendary

[@Kwengxoxo]

His quite frank, its refreshing to hear celebrities being so real

[@Mr813Fla]

I would love to have a conversation with John... he would have me cracking up all day. He's naturally funny, effortless like Bernie Mack was.

[@robertcontreras2855]

Rest in peace John Witherspoon

[@kayesquared7089]

[@robg7843]

What happened to Aaron on Boondocks is the same shit that happened to Dave on Dave Chappelle Show. They both left cus these media companies always want to get too involved than just let the creators do what they do.
