Does Huey know that he’s in a cartoon?

As far as I know he’s the only character that breaks the fourth wall by looking directly at the audience at times. Some scenes that come to mind are in “Or Die Trying”, where he looked at the audience and shrugged when Uncle Ruckus was using his nunchucks. There was also that other time in “The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2”, where he once again looks at the audience and justifies his treatment of Riley by saying that he wants his own room. Lastly, he looked directly at the audience again in the first episode of season 3.

Hot take: Sarah was justified in being frustrated with Tom.

I never thought that as a man I would be saying this, but I'm arguably on Sarah's side in her frustrations with Tom. Like, imagine your house and love life basically being derived of fun because your husband let ONE traumatic movie define the way he lives his life so much that he's basically, in the words of Zach Woods, an early draft of a man. Everyone is acting like she's this ungrateful wife, but watching the show twice, she really isn't.

From beginning to end, she's loyally faithful to Tom. Even in times of expressing interest in famous people like Usher or Obama, she never actually goes out of her way to cheat on them. She's always by Tom's side, and simply wants him to be a bit more wild in their love life, as shown in the Stinkmeaner episode.

Season 3 is a testament to this, barring the first episode. In A Date with the Booty Warrior, when Tom starts conquering his fears of prison rape, she supports him all the way, and doesn't even taunt him when he comes crying to her during the riot. Hell, she even begs Tom to come home and doesn't make it sound like she's going to blame him for wanting to get out, because she knows he wouldn't be able to handle it. And in the Fried Chicken Flu, when Tom gets sick, she's by his side the whole time, rather than running off with another dude.

I'm not going to count season 4 because as far as I'm concerned, it's non-canon, since Aaron wrote season 3 as the final season and season 4 is that bad. But even THEN, Sarah apologizes to Tom for being a bitch. Yall who think Sarah is asking for too much have to understand things from her perspective. Tom's a good guy, but his fear of prison rape makes him frustrating.

How did Granddad still manage to pay for dates even after he hired Bushido?

When he hired Bushido to be his bodyguard, we’re shown many invoices and past due bills. Yet later, Granddad is taking a lady out on a date. How could he still afford to go on dates when Bushido’s demands were putting him in debt?

Does anyone remember when one of Granddad’s exes tried kidnapping Riley?

She tried kidnapping him because he was adorable 😂 they should’ve made a whole episode about that.

“I think I hate black people. I don’t like Puffy. I don’t like Kobe.”

Not the right conclusion Tom, but two wild examples

How would the Senate confirmations look like if Ruckus is nominated to a cabinet position?

Looks like Ruckus may get a job in the new administration and I want to know what kind of questions the Senators will ask and how Ruckus would respond.

I feel bad for Tom

Mannn Tom is a bitch, but I feel like Sarah really be doing too much. Like she was acting like a groupie with usher… then to get mad like she wasn’t embarrassing her husband, who she didn’t even introduce was a damn shame. Tom deserve better, he make good money he don’t deserve that.

Events/subjects that I would have loved to see episodes of:

Hello! Okay, so this is my list of events/subjects that I would have loved to see episodes about. Now, some of these topics happened past when the show aired, and while I (and probably most people on this subreddit) would have mixed feelings on rebooting the show, I think that it would be interesting to see episodes on these things. These ideas are in no particular order of importance. I want to note before making this list that I would not put in a Covid episode because I think that the salmonella episode did an interesting, almost foreshadowing take on it.

  1. The Black Lives Matter Movement - I think that an episode about the movement and how it was ran could be an interesting one. I even think that there could be two separate episodes. One with specifically Grandad reflecting on the differences and similarities between that movement and the Civil Rights Movement and another one with Huey, Riley, Grandad, Ruckus, and Tom's opinions on the movement.

  2. School Shooting (March for our lives) - An episode about Riley experiencing a school shooting or maybe one in their hometown (Chicago) and his response to it. I think that this episode could show a character development of Riley, even if it just lasted for this episode.

  3. An episode centering about Huey and his response to the genocide happening in Palestine.

  4. An episode about Jazmine getting really into left leaning Black female activists such as Claudia Jones, Ella Baker, Assata Shakur, and/or Angela Davis.

Now things that don't have to be full episodes, but could be an interesting plot or some constant running jokes.

  1. When Biden took the troops out of Afghanistan and how it wasn't really fully a complete thing.

  2. Trump

Feel free to agree or disagree and add in anything else if you decide :)

I was on Granddad’s side throughout most of “Mr. Medicinal”

This is a great episode and it’s one of those where Granddad is at his happiest. The only time he messed up was when he decided to get behind the wheel when he was high. That was very irresponsible of him.

However, the other conflicts were literally caused by other people. Like when people in the neighborhood called the cops on this man for smoking in his own house

Why wasn’t Jazmine in the kickball tournament?

I think Sarah mentions that Jazmine plays soccer in the second season. We also see her in the crowd. Why did Huey ask Mrs. Von Housen to join the team over Jazmine?

Rewatching The Boondocks On Max And I didn’t realize how many times they mentioned Bill Cosby 😂

I’ve never actually done a full start to finish watch of the boondocks but it’s been one of my favorite shows forever and I’ve seen most of the episodes. There’s a lot of Bill Cosby stuff that aged interestingly lmao
