The Boondocks: The making of season 1 (2005)

[@paperchasindude6578]

Aaron Mcgruder is a genius

[@ederreis14]

We need black Jesus n the boondocks back

[@Infinitebrandon]

He is the best

[@breakmanradio2530]

He got canceled because of his attacks against Obama. Being a fake ass motherfucker on the internet for the money and the power. And he was right. Obama's number one private contributor was goldman sachs. You got more Wall Street money than John McCain. That sounds like someone who's going to put wall street in check? Not only did obama not prosecute the Goldman Sachs Executives for billions of dollars in mortgage back security fraud. He made sure they got bonuses during depression. Obamacare was crony capitalist care. Admittedly written by the big insurance companies. Why? To put middle and small sized insurance companies out of business. And it worked! Their profits skyrocketed! This dude Aaron said too little. He got afraid.

I'm 65 years old now but in my 50's and I never missed an episode at the time it was the best show on tv.

[@SSGSativa]

R.I.P. John Witherspoon. You were a part of one of the best shows ever.

[@markskonecki2050]

One of the funniest shows ever made. I can't count how many times I laughed so hard I had trouble breathing.

[@Ada_solo99]

I think everyone did 😂😂😂

[@eldritchassistant1067]

14:07 you can see he's trying to suppress a smile when he mentions the song's name, it's so amazing that he finds everything as funny as we do

[@akafume]

He knows the ridiculousness of the world and portrayed it perfectly.

Easily THE most unique show to air on TV 📺 Absolutely nothing remotely close to this.

“That’s how people talk.” This man is a genius. This show is literally real life, even when it’s meant to be a satire. Why would you censor something that is supposed to represent what we’re living in

[@sh3blushp1nk]

This show was GOLD

[@mesharrogers6392]

Season 1 is godly💯💯. It captures something unique that the other two seasons didn't have. Don't get me wrong tho I still really enjoyed season 2 and 3 as they had some of the best episodes of the entire series.

[@tariqhh5911]

Hot take but I still enjoy season 4 even though Aaron didn’t write that season and it have as many concepts as the first three but imo it was still funny

[@NicoLodge]

​@@coolest_usernameSo you're saying if the USA made anime, it wouldn't be, what?

[@bluestone9897]

@@NicoLodge He's saying for it to be anime, it has to be Japanese animation, made in Japan. Which is a common argument. It's why people say Avatar: The Last Airbender isn't anime either. Personally, I don't care for the technicalities but people been arguing this point back and forth for decades.

The Passion of Uncle Ruckus episode had the most feels.

[@fsecofficial]

Aaron nailed it with Boonedocks. He’s not afraid to get in there and touch on sensitive topics. I wonder if he knows most of his fans are white lol. Doesn’t matter anyways. It’s the realest cartoon ever made. RIP to John Witherspoon (grandpa).

[@Redmenace96]

McGruder is a fine artist and explosively creative. Some great TV. I like the animation style, and his drawing style. Didn't become a fan because I am old and tired of the precocious and sentient child trope. The other characters were good! The child characters were just annoying.

[@katlyndobransky2419]

I disagree, Huey is a fantastic character. An old soul

[@WilliesGarden]

Absolute shame Boondocks wasn't running when R. Kelly finally got put away for attacking those little children. So much of the storyline evolved around R. Kelly. And the producers did a great job of keeping his abuses in everyday conversation. When we can't protect the smallest and weakest in society, how can we call ourselves an advanced society?

He is a true black intellectual. i haven’t seen the show but somehow have come across his interviews. I hope A24 or Jordan Peele make something with him. Black and Latinos not being in writing rooms is the reason why europeans have controlled the narrative.

One can confuse himself with too much artistic FREEDOM! It is best to ALWAYS know ones limit because one’s sponsors do not always tell one the truth.

[@kcried1081]

Aaron Mcgruder brah is the black Elon musk. Like the dude creative genius to show a mirror to black culture was the freshest air black culture had got in generations. And BET has been in steady decline ever since and honestly it has been for the best. I really hope no reincarnations of it ever return. The amount of time and the many generations needed that’s going to be needed to recover from its inception going to a lot but once it’s damage has come, I think we might see the 4th coming of the black evolution and it will be the best one yet. Right now we sowing the seeds by stomping out police brutality and breaking down a lot of these systems of oppression

[@inezgalore]

Calling him the black elon musk is like the most disrespectful thing ever 😭😭 I get what you were trying to do, calling him intelligent, which he is. However, if Aaron McGruder thinks Ronald Reagan is the devil, he definitely doesn’t think highly of Elon Musk
