The Boondocks: "Let's Nab Oprah"
Posted on February 13, 2006 2:50 PM
A Black man’s work is never done… Sorry about the delay in putting up today’s entry, folks. A brother is still trying to dig out from the “Blizzard of ’06.” Anywho, I gotta say I was a little disappointed in last night’s episode. I mean there were definitely some “what did he say/rewind the dvr” moments, but for the most part, I have to say last night’s episode was pretty uneventful.
What pisses me off is that it had so much potential. The set-up was perfect. You had Ed Wuncler III (Charlie Murphy) and Gin Rummy (Samuel L. Jackson) back at it again (BTW, did anyone notice the homage to Snatch at the beginning or was it me?), a plot to kidnap Oprah and an ill sibling rivalry fight a la “Street Fighter” between Huey and Riley. So what went wrong? I’m not quite sure but I have a few ideas.
1. They really didn’t elaborate at all on why they wanted to kidnap the Almighty O. They got it half-right. This woman from Kosciusko, Mississippi does seem to have this strange power over women—especially Black women. But they just left it there. Where was Uncle Ruckus chiming in with him 800 reasons why he hates “Okrah?” They never even showed an animated Oprah. Are people really that afraid of her? Dave Chappelle never showed Oprah’s face when he did that skit about her having his kid either. Does this woman wield that much power??? (Oprah, if you are reading this I love your show… and the magazine… and the book club… and the new channel on XM Satellite Radio. Big fan, really big fan.)
2. The scene where they kidnap Maya Angelou and she is whooping Rummy’s ass is hilarious but where was the requisite stab at her poetry. Yeah, I know he said, “Maya ‘And I Rise’ Angelou?!?!?” But I was looking for more…
3. The kidnapping of Bill Cosby. Don’t get me wrong… If you read this blog regularly, you all know I am not a Cosbyite. So, that scene had me ready to cheer. Until they brought him back. Not that I don’t understand. I kind of imagine Old Man Cos does yammer on like that. But I wouldn’t have minded them “drop squadding” the pudding pusher.
I don’t know…. I know every episode can’t be a jewel, but a brother can dream. Besides, the 2-hour “Inside The Actor’s Studio” featuring Dave Chappelle provided more than enough laughs last night. If you missed it, be sure to check it out the next time it airs.
I know one thing… Whoever wrote “Move Them Butt Cheeks” (the song/video that is always on whenever a character turns on the TV or has the radio on) might want to look into a copyright infringement suit against Bubba Sparxxx and the Ying Yang Twins.
One last note, your man Dark Kent has found a new home for his hate. If you’re a fan of this blog (or not), holler at me at http://www.myspace.com/thedarkkent. I’m not gon’ lie--I got the idea after seeing my man Ron Mexico’s myspace page. So, what? “I’m not a writer, I’m a biter.”

Um.....Dark man......Wasn't this a RE-RUN?!?
I fell asleep on this episode.
I give it 2 thumbs down.
No, skdamc. That joint was brand spankin' new.
My bad,Dark Man. I remember "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence" line from a previous episode. Anyho, did anyone else get the Enter The Dragon/Jim Kelly reference "Man, you straight outta a comic book."? The Bill Cosby shit was funny but they shoulda at least roughed him up.
the episode had no point period..they plotted to kidnapp oprah, messed up..ended up kidnappin cosby..n brought em bak..*end credits* wow...onli part i enjoyed was da fite between huey n riley...besides dat...da episode was ass
No doubt, skdamc. I appreciate ya reading...
So ok I am sorely disappointed in this... I was so shocked at the randomness in the episode and I know some people are gonna hate BUT what is up with the white boys saying nigga and explaining it away like that. I swear if I hear a white boy say nigga its on. So anyway.. Yeah I was sad because it wasn’t a good show. Maybe next time have a plot there yall.....
THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY Y'AL NIGGA IS GAY
YO THAT EPISODE WAS CRAZY!!!!
"2 WAY PAGERS ARE FOR DUMB NIGGAS TALKING TO OTHER DUMB NIGGAS ABOUT DUMB NIGGA SHIT" HAHAHA GOOD THING I GOT DVR, I GOT THAT SHIT ON REPLAY !!

The creator is real brazen.. I didn't respect that shit
Listen all yall nuggahs the booondocks is the realist show on the mutha f*ckin air oprah needs to b kidnapped one day sh*t she need to be away from white people. AAron Mcruder is jus keepin it real!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Last nights episode was great but it apparently went over your heads. The episode was a big metaphor for George Bush and his criminal antics. Ed Wunschler, notice the W on all their property, is Bush and his buddy Gin Rummy is rumsfeld.(The jokes about there lack of planning and ineptitude were about the Iraq war). His daddy (George Bush the first) owns ands runs everything even the police and therefore no one tries to stop him. The police would be the CIA and military in this extended metaphor. They were totally complicit and actively looked the other way just like during the Iraq quagmire. Riley is Colin Powell in this episode who goes along but eventually realizes they are phony gangsters or in Colin Powell’s case realizes it was all based on lies. When all the security tries to stop Huey from stopping Ed, rummy, and riley they are like the media who tried to discredit the opponents of the Iraq war instead of stopping the reckless criminal acts of the bush administration. I thought episode was hysterical and think the rest of you will find it a lot funnier when seen in the proper light. My favorite part was when they robbed their own bank and asked the bank’s manager for feedback on their 22 minute bank robbery. Big UP to Aaron Mcgruder for speaking truth to power in such a funny way.
DAMN I MISSED DAT EPISODE! YO BUT DATS MY SHOW MANE!
oh shit. J Mauck is deep as fuck. Damn. That shit makes since now. That nigga is a genious. Or it could be that you just thinkin about that shit too much. That was a good theory though.
That shit was fucking great. Even if it isn't in its typical "haha politically incorrect funny" garb, it kicked ass just for the fight choreographies. Those scenes were off the hook and, Huey gets to flex his nuts and show how pimp he really is.
These folks are clowns. They make me laugh. Everyone is so quick to hate, and judge. Ya'll didn't just enjoy some funny shit. Not all of them can be the best episode. Just laugh, then think about the issues. One dude had to look all into the episode, and find a metaphor. He might be right though. I think if Aaron wanted to bash bush he would. Dude is a dope writer though. He holds it down with the issues and underlying shit. They need to start up them boondock shirts before i make my own bootleg ones and sell them joints on Ebay. Nigga technology is funny. And white boys do say nigga when we aint around. Thats real. And some "niggas" don't even get mad. the let them do it. Give them a nigga pass like its okay. Fuck that shit.
to add to maucks theory....the kidnapping of mya angelou instead of oprah is a metaphor for going after Hussein instead of Bin Laden.
Good Point SOLID. One more point to add...in the first episode "The Garden Party" Mr. Wuncler, after riley shoots Ed jr. out of his window with a shotgun, says to grandpa "that boy is going to be president someday".
Thank you J.
Someone enlightened the class the last time we had an Ed and Rummy Boondocks.
I thought last night's episode was great.
Huey also recapped all of Ed and Rummy's fuckups in a moment of clarity for Riley.
Even Granddad was in on the act. He represents the uninformed mass public who looks at those who question authority and status quo as "haters" or "Un-Amerrrrcan."
Long live The Boondocks!
Good shit J. Maucks and SOLID Bob.
Oh yeah, Dark... You're entitled to a myspace page, my nigga!
I'm honored that I inspired you to get one.
...any of y'all wanna get at me-- it's myspace.com/ronnie_mexxx
...i think that's right.
I guess the political aspect is tru. We do have a Drunk, illiterate, power-crazed, wanna-be a cowboy 4 da US, dumb ass, reckless whiteboi President. All Jr.

I think the people who dont like it are the one's offended by nigga technology. He was speakin the truthYou dont see much other people two waying like us. This is one of the top 5 cartoon shows. and the only black cartoon show we got. where is the support.
For those that are so offended by the word "nigger" how many are offended by the fact that so many speak English, French or Spanish? How about the country named "Niger", to me thats the same as two "g"'s is that considered offensive? Oh yeah the word "America" does that make anyones blood boil? (no pun intended) It is so interesting to me how a sound can evoke so many emotions.

Seth... Mauk didn't NEED to look into that shit himself. McGruder (spell it right ya'll ig'nant niggas.) has said a lot of times himself that Wunsler and Rummy are parodies of W. and Rumsfeld.
And what kind of entertainment is a comedy television show where they come out and just say "We hate bush" he expects us AS A PEOPLE to be better than that. He expects the public to understand the metaphor.
Go ahead, call me an uppity book-readin' uncle tom ass nigga.
But i'm just tellin' it like it is.
alright people, Aaron is trying to entertain us but educate us first and if the only reason you like the show is because you get a laugh from it here and there -please do some of us black folks that read a favor- either quit watching it or quit talking about it. Keep your fucking ignorance to yourself. Make your 'nigga moment' a private one!!
I dont like the show. this was my second time watching it and i was genuinely unimpressed and unintertained. I wont be watching it again. I found the "Bush / Rumsfeld" connection interesting but, honestly, if you try hard enough you can make anything (in any show) stand for something.
Imma send that bitch a smiley face. Bitches love smiley faces.
Ohio Nigga you gotta be the most gangsta nigga on this sight.you win hands down.all your posts show how gangsta you are..we can tell you ride a pimped out impala with 26 inch rims.

hey thanks for the compliment
MIDWEST TAKEOVER
In Toledo in a riegel, Cincinatti in a caddy, in Columbus in a cutlas, in Dayton in a nati, dont give a fuck bout what u say bout my town, but OH gonna have this rap shit on lockdown
wait till the Swagger Boys, Magic Juan, BMG, Red Alert, Secosa, B-White, Ju Rock, HoodFam and other OH cats takeover rap
I also wish that people would look at the actual animation itself aswell. The fights between Hughey and Riley/Bushido Brown are some of the best from American animation companies right now. Family guy's animations aren't that fluid. I have more to say about this funny ass episode but I will leave that for another time. Just commenting on the anime-style animations. So long as they show Hughey fighting alot more, I'm cool. He fucked Riley up and got kicked through a brick wall. Damn, aint that something?
Keep Ya Head Up
Chapelle didn't show Oprah's face because it was a fake Oprah. Chapelles skits weren't as high priced as Mad TV or any other sketch show. Instead of going all out with make-up and masks, he could just throw a wig on a black woman. Plus I liked that he didn't show the face.
"randy, u are one dumb muthafucker. the country niger is pronouced "nee-jay" u stupid fool, read a damn book u stupid nigga."
And I am ignorant cause some cracker decided to pronounce one word one way and another word is pronounce differently. OK Ak, I will be an ignorant NiGer (NEEY JEER)
PS. Dem NIGER niggers is still killing each other. See I read a book dick head.

Fuck, my Boondocks supplier got cut off for going over his bandwith, so anyone know where I can download the episodes?
That episode was hilarious
Huey:What about the time they stopped for gas and robbed the convenience store
Riley: They was fighting terrorism, they were defending the freedoms you and I enjoy today, thats messed up huey you dont support the troops
Grandpa: that is kind of messed up huey
Bushido Brown: Man you come straight out of a comic strip
The series' 2nd allusion to enter the dragon Bruce Lee's greatest completed film the first being in grandpas fight
Huey: What was that an excibition? You need emotional content.
Bill cosby runnin his mouth at the end killed me
Cosby:Pull up your pants you little ghetto hooligans
Gin:Dayum is that who i think that is?
Cosby:Kicking down the doors with the big boots and the guns you out to be ashamed of yourselfs

Does anyone else find it hysterical The Boondocks parodied the bush administration accidentally shooting each other with a shotgun on the same weekend it actually happens?
J Mauck, that is kinda odd, but it was a flashback from an earlier episode so I guess you could argue it happened earlier. But that shotgun shit is crazy in its own right. Personally, I like this episode, and I like cosby at the end. 'pull up your pants, you little ghetto hooligans'. Although, I'm not a cosby hater at ALL. In fact when I listen to the speech he made, I agree with him completely and I really wonder what all the fuss is about. I was even more proud of cosby when he defended his statements amist a hail of blowback. But hey, Thats just me.
That was the best episode of the Boondocks EVER!!! It was a complete metaphor and the fact that it completely escaped the mental capacity of most of the people on here is a tragedy. Gin Rummy was the muscle, the military, the police, anyone with a gun and backed by power. And the Bushido Brown portions were awe inspiring. Mad props to Jim Kelly. If you noticed, during the Huey vs. Riley fight, in the kitchen Huey wags his finger like Bruce Lee at Riley. Too hot!!! Too bad most people who hated the show remind me of Grandad. Woefully uninformed and oblivious to subtlty.
As soon as i heard that Bubba Sparxxx track - instantly thought of 'Move Them Butt Cheeks'!

whaT?
The start of this ep was an homage to John Travolta and Samuel Jackson's conversation that began PULP FICTION. The freeze frames introducing the characters, however, was a reference to SNATCH.
J Mauck did drop knowledge on the rest of y'all and said everything that needed to be said already.
What J Maueck said. I applaud the powerful messages and images of the Boondocks.
sexy
I live at 70007 Commonwealth in Seattle. Been up here before?
Bushido Brown can't talk 'bout Huey. He looks like Tiger Jackson from Tekken 3.

The song is "Booty Butt Cheeks", not "Move Them Butt Cheeks". In season 2 of the Boondocks they said it was "Booty Butt Cheeks" by artist Thugnificent.
