The boondocks is a cartoon spin off from a daily comic strip. It centrals around two african american kids - huey and riley - who were forced to move with their grandpa to a upper class, predominately white area - woodcrest.The show introduces us to many hilarious characters, Huey is your typical paranoid conspiracy theorist, whilst riley is a gangster wannabe who idealises gangster rappers such as gangstalicious (who can't help but get shot...again) and r-kelly who loves giving golden showers.Grandpa is the typical vitamin, workout, beat a child loving man of the house. Next door is tom dubois a district attorney terrified of anal rape and his wife and child jasmine. Uncle rukkus (no relation) is the white loving resident racist (who would slap you if told he was black , he has the opposite of what micheal jackson has).The show introduces many more hilarious characters, and deals with such scenarios such as road rage and christmas. Much of the humour can be seen as outragious, but underneath all the swearing and racial slurs, is a genuine witty comedy, which plays on current stereotypic attitudes.The animation is amazing, it borrows a lot from anime style, and often pays homage to anime and asian cinema.This is a must see comedy, fans of family guy would lap this up.go buy.

Boondocks 1 word amazing

Apart form my Delivery been late I was glad when it came, not happy that the box set was not in a proper box set apart form that I totally love the DVDs

Very early 2000s Humour, great to have it playing in the background.

I have longed for a tv series to be as thought-provoking and at the same time absolutely hilarious since Dave Chappelle made his debut on Comedy Central. And I found it...The Boondocks!Aaron McGruder is a genius! it's a very bold statement, but you will probably agree once you've seen at least one of the episodes.It really reaches out to all kinds of people; Ive watched this show with some friends that are majoring in theology and philosophy. Ive also watched it with some friends that happen to be gang members. They've all found it equally hilarious, and at the same time, both groups were able to relate to some aspects of the show. Whether it be the ghetto-ness of the setting, to the exagerated yet very accurate personalities of the characters, this show will have you thinking and laughing out loud.What other cartoon have you seen that will quote Khalil Gibran? Aaron McGruder's knowledge of past and present is on point and you can definitely see it through the characters in the Boondocks.A Must-See!

Huey Freeman is angry. And can you blame him? As a ten-year-old aspiring black revolutionary living in the almost entirely white suburb of Woodcrest with his stern, authoritarian grandfather and his thug-worshipping younger brother Riley after relocating from Chicago's tough South Side, Huey is faced with the grim realities of both white condescension and black ignorance as he tries to call to light the truths people would rather not face. In the opening scene of The Boondocks, Aaron McGruder's confrontational, profane, and brilliantly satirical adaptation of his comic strip, Huey envisions himself inciting a riot at an all-white garden party by reporting some unpleasant truths (at least in his mind) about Jesus, Ronald Reagan, and 9/11, but when he actually gets a chance to do so he merely finds himself praised for being "articulate." And when he tries to bring his vision of a black Jesus to the masses via his school Christmas play (with some help from Denzel Washington, Angela Bassett, and Quincy Jones), his work becomes the target of a boycott by parents angry at the exclusion of their children. Not to mention, he has to watch a race-baiting white laywer exploit black-white divisions to get R. Kelly off on underage peeing charges, and witness two wanna-be master criminals exploiting wartime paranoia to rob a store when he just wants to get his friend out of jail. All in all, Huey faces un uphill climb in his quest to shake a comfortable populace out of its complacency.Huey's attempts at fomenting revolution, however, are just the tip of the iceberg in The Boondocks, which presents viewers with a mix of the political, social, philosophical and sentimental that I have yet to see in animated TV. It comes along at just the right time, too, as many cartoon giants have come to feel increasingly calcified: South Park, while still a frequently brilliant show, has become increasingly reliant on excessive toilet humor and often contrived topicality; The Simpsons ran out of ideas about eight years ago; and the "revived" Family Guy has become a lazy, unfunny mockery of its former self, weighed down by interminable, punch line-less "jokes" and rapid-fire successions of random, context-free pop culture references. Viewed in this context, the Boondocks feels refreshingly raw, witty, and character-driven in its approach; and more importantly, it's frequently, gut-busting hilarious regardless of whether you're always in agreement with its subversive viewpoint or whether you approve of its near-constant use of the N-word among other choice terms. There are some overtly topical episodes-taking incisive aim at such subjects at hip-hop culture (The Story of Gangstalicious); the legacy of the civil rights movement and the post-9/11 closing of the American Mind (The Return of the King); and traditional attitudes regarding Christmas (A Huey Freeman Christmas)-but they never diminish the episodes as vehicles for telling stories or exploring characters. Some of the best episodes are actually more personal and familial than political-in Riley Wuz Here, Huey's ignorant younger brother explores his artistic side with the help of a kindly but insane gun-toting art-teacher, while Wingmen sees both Huey and Granddad confronting figures from their pasts in a return to their old neighborhood for the funeral of Granddad's friend. And throughout, there's the show's examination of the generation gap and the dynamics of a decidedly atypical family, as we frequently see the size of the gulf between Huey, Riley, and their old-school, tough-loving grandfather.The voice acting is top-to-bottom terrific, starting with Regina King, who deserves special props for taking on double duty by performing the roles of both Huey and Riley (most impressively, I heard that she read all her Huey lines and all her Riley lines separately, no small task considering how different the voices are and how frequently she has to act against herself). In the other principal role, John Witherspoon is suitably grizzled and cantankerous as Granddad, while Gary Anthony Williams (aka Stevie's father from Malcolm in the Middle) is hilariously over the top as Uncle Ruckus, an elderly Uncle Tom with a freakishly large right eye who in one episode actually turns his hatred of his own people into a religion. An array of one-off and recurring guest stars including Adam West (R. Kelly's slimy lawyer), Ed Asner (rapacious capitalist Ed Wuncler), Charlie Murphy (inept criminal and George W. Bush mockup Ed Wuncler III) and Samuel L. Jackson (Ed III's partner in crime and Donald Rumsfeld caricature Gin Rummy) helps expand the show's stable of memorable characters even more, bringing it close to prime-era Simpsons in terms of creating a far-reaching and (somewhat) lifelike make-believe world.Where the Boondocks really outshines much of its competition, though, is its appearance. Simply put, this show looks incredible: rich, colorful, and expressive it a way most animation scarcely approaches. Owing a heavy debt to Japanese anime, especially in its occasional, but brilliantly shot, fight scenes, The Boondocks far surpasses the likes of Family Guy and South Park in its attention to detail, be it the astonishingly lifelike background scenery or the intimate (if not always pleasant) details of its characters' appearances. Hell, Huey's afro and Uncle Ruckus's oversized eye alone are practically worth the price of the DVD set.Along with the 15 episodes on these discs, the season one DVD set is laden with the kind of time-wasting extras hardcore fans crave: several insightful commentaries (plus two not-so-insightful ones with Uncle Ruckus, which are just plain funny), animatics, three deleted scenes (all of them hilarious), and a 20-minute featurette, heavy on McGruder's commentary, regarding the process of bringing his vision to the screen. In all, this season set is more than worth the price for those in the mood for a departure from the animated-TV norm.

no complaints

Classically styled, The Boondocks was great 🙇
