Yo, your dad looks mesmerized and shocked :-D To be fair, thats what the series is all about - brutally honest, sterotypical but yet anti-racist. It's just that the last bit is not as obvious as the others. In Germany me and my friends loved this show. It was the first show that broke the barrier between "high-class-wokeism" and youth-talk who didnt give a shit about what word is inappropriate to say and what not. In short: A open minded, woke message with a damn dirty mouth.
Honestly, his father makes me feel younger, I miss when people was real, cultured, eloquent, educated, and yet able to think on their own. Just isn't easy to find these days.
You have a winning combination there. I love to see multigenerational takes on irreverent comedy. I’d say 77K is proof positive more than 200 likes. I want to see you and your dad constantly.
@@ghostbravo7127 Because you have people who reinforced the idea in the african american community that they have to be uneducated, success is commercialism, tribalism and hedonism, they destroyed the parts of african american culture that promoted intelligence and called it "acting caucasian" the people who did this were in the rap industry and they were not african americans, they were jewish people surprisingly. They made african americans identify with helplessness violence and stupidity. People need to realize that just because you are african american, you don't have to act like a gangster, it doesn't make one caucasian to speak correctly, to have a wide vocabulary and to philosophize. Doing this is to have the same people who actually oppress you and make you helpless, giving them control over your life and the appearance of being on your side, when they really caused all of this, by their own toxic reinforcement of what they wanted for you to become like. The are the ultimate narcissistic psychopaths who want people to be mindless drone consumers who listen to noise for people with brain damage, they want you to not succeed, to not think, to not question the system as it is, but to reinforce it and just degrade into hedonistic, animalistic, and selfish materialism.
Same thing happened to my grandpa. He doesn't like cartoons and had the lowest expectations for this show, but he couldn't stop watching it after the first episode lol. Glad to say this is the first cartoon season he ever completed and loved it. Boondocks is a gem
@@brandonharmon5556 Rockefeller was a massively friendly philanthropist and opposed the world banking structure at the time along with opposing government control of oil. He's a pretty aspirational in multiple ways and seemed pretty friendly with others. So he really coulda been based on Rockefeller.
i remember watching this show as a kid, late at night on adult swim. early 2000s was such a great time for shows like this to get their shine, truly the golden age of TV
People say this ain't a kids show, but as a kid who watched this show I think it probably opened my eyes to some shit I wouldve stayed blind to for a while
@@blakec8549 fr i went to a predominantly white school growing up and knew NOTHING about black people but when i watched this show as a kid it made me love black people and got me into some good music too
"i am the stone that the builder refused, im the visual, that made ladies sing the blues, im the spark that makes your idea bright, same spark that lights the dark so you can see your left from your right, i am the ballot in the box-the bullet, in the gun the inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son, the story of what's begun, the promise of what's to come, and i will remain a soldier till the war is won." literal flames, should never be skipped lol.
As a mixed kid, the Garden Party was my life like every 4 weeks as a child. When my dad let my white grandma pick me up and take me to Long Island. Word for work “you speak sooo wellll”. Right down to the afro. I was Huey and Riley in one person. One moment trying to scare white people, the other downloading 50 cent lyrics to practice karaoke on her computer. Lmao
I love how Quizzy is explaining his reasons why he likes the ending so much and his father is over there just wondering the F*** he just watched thinking about his whole life. Great video and hope to see you two in another.
I still think this is the greatest pilot of any show ever. I can't think of any show where episode #1 told you exactly who the characters were, who the writers were, and what the show was about (satire, dark humour, etc) in a more well executed way. This was the first show where I had to pause scenes multiple times because of how much I was laughing. It's good to hear this from your pop's perspective, since I was a teenager when this came out. I was alwas curious what the older generation thought of this show.
@@quizzyondemand I'd probably disagree, but it's close. All the same elements are still there - you know exactly what Breaking Bad is about all within the first episode. Definitely a close one there. THANKS FOR RESPONDING!
I used to read The Boondocks cartoons with my Father in the Sunday paper and he passed before this made it to TV. Watching this brought me legitimate joy, thank you.
I know I’m white, but the Boondocks was the shit when I was in High school and the fact they talked about real issues on both sides of the fence was amazing.
This show came out right after I graduated high school, I had already read the Boondocks comic strip weekly but when the show came out it was something far beyond anything I was prepared for. I grew up a white kid in a lower/lower-middle class area that was pretty diverse. Most of my friend group was made up of black kids and this show was the funniest shit we ever saw. I would say it helped me find my anti-big government pulse since I really found myself relating with Huey. Excellent video, I want to see more Boondocks content.
Not trying to be rude, I'm just curious. In what way are you anti Big government and how do you relate to Huey? Are you a revolutionary? Anarcho communist or neo liberal etc?
@@dynamitestalker4219 I know, that's why I put the "etc". It's just both the ideologies I listed seek to abolish government. I assumed the person was a neo Liberal due to the very far right channels they follow. I would like a revolution too my friend.
@@gljames24 while I do believe neoliberals are just conservatives larping and are usually for big government, by definition they are not. "Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing the amount of power the state has over the free market." By definition it seeks to reduce the government's power under capitalism. I believe I originally and incorrectly put neoliberalism wants to abolish the government, however I mixed up neolibs with ancaps. I myself am on the other side of the spectrum, a libertarian socialist.
As a kid I was born in 88 grew up in the 90's...I always felt closer to adults cause they kept it real with me... Either about life or things I was gonna endure in life.. this is one of my favorite shows all time... your father's input is refreshing man, cool relaxed demeanor... appreciate you for uploading this brother I will be watching out for all 4 seasons if you are going that direction .
Yall blowing up! I personally do not live in the USA right now, but I'm from New Orleans and I just need this right now because I full on miss black people. I just discovered yall yesterday and I have watched everything yall have. I love the formula. It works
Lol I woke up just now and I read this then I had to reread this lol I thought this was the first time you discovered black peoples but now I realize you were talkin about the video lmao 🤣
Hell yeah, Boondocks! I always felt as if that was the point in history when racial issues were at a low point. You had great comedians like Dave Chappell, breaking down walls making everyone bust out laughing while at the same time acknowledging issues. (Historical as well as present ones) There was no way of knowing that free expression like that would erode like it did in the 17 years to come. Boondocks in 2022 is a shock to the system, revealing how much censorship of free expression has narrowed the creative avenues artists / writers can pursue. It's a great show that could never be brought back in its true former glory nowadays.
I remember the first time I watched the Boondocks. I was in the Hospital for Pneumonia years ago. My roommate was watching it and I was hooked! It really warms my heart that you and your dad are spending time together.
When i first started watching this show yes it made me uncomfortable due to white guilt i guess but the more i watched it the more i came to understand this show was making fun of everyone. It's a show that crituqes white and black culture on social norms, classism, and racism while still being entertaining as hell. After the first season i really warmed up to this show after they got a bigger budget and the animation quality improved GREATLY. All in all a great animated show based on real world events and problems can be entertaining, enlightening and hilarious at times, this show just knows how to balance it all out and i wish it was still going.
Here’s my rule of thumb: if I didn’t personally have something to do with it then it wasn’t my fault. I don’t care what some rainbow haired white guilt propagating hoe is screaming, if I didn’t do it then I have nothing to feel guilty about.
@@sullisez Great way to get people to recognize that issues of intersectionality is everyone’s problem and it doesn’t belong just to the most afflicted groups. that’s the only way for true, productive change.
Don't give in to white guilt my boy. Unless for some reason you were there during those times and actively partaking in it, you shouldn't. But yeah, I agree with the rest of what ya said
Uncle Ruckus was actually inspired by a man named Amos Rucker, a slave who fought for the confederacy during the Civil war and wanted to remain a slave afterwards.
I’m so glad this video popped up on my feed. Hearing your dad talk about his life and experiences a bit was very meaningful. The Boondocks reaction was great too, obviously. It’ll always be one of my favorite shows.
"Boondocks" is actually a Filipino word adopted by American GI's back in the old days. Bundok = Mountain. forgot the history but i think it was because the Americans were suppressing an Islamic rebellion when they took over the Philippines. the enemies were coming from the "Boondocks" using guerilla warfare tactics like the VC did in Vietnam. extra random trivia, the American GI's also trained in Philippine jungle warfare/survival to prepare for their deployment to Vietnam.
And that was where the CIA straight up yoinked a dude from the back of his patrol, drained all his blood, left two big holes in his neck, and dumped the body back on the trail. AFTER spreading a bunch of rumors about there being a vampire (rather, the locals equivalent) nearby.
@@scout360pyroz yeah that's a true story. thing is, these "vampires" were not exactly vampires lol. they were "aswang" supposedly (the local equivalent) basically, a shape shifting witch/cursed person
Boondocks is definitely a bridge builder for everybody, Cuz it's so relatable and says it in a hilarious and profound way. I remember watching this episode the first time and laughed my ass off! 🤣. Re-watching as an adult and filtering it through context this show demonstrates the absolute chaos of our society and its twisted sensibilities. Awesome video, glad your dad liked the show!
Wouldn't call it anime, definitely anime inspired. That post-Toonami scene. You should check out the original Boondocks comic. Love watching you and your dad enjoying this together. When he was alive, my pop always put comics and anime down, until I showed him Alan Moore and Akira.
@@punkgrl325 That's the fun game of production. A lot of "anime" generated in Japan is produced in South Korea, but where do you say the product is from? Does the nationality or race author have any say on how the product is labelled?
@@tmonti7275 no the way it looks has a say on how its labelled, just like how avatar is also called an anime by alot of people, but the boondocks is just actually animated by a anime studio
this is a great reaction normally theres reactions of younger people discovering older music but its really cool to see an older person see a great show that is from the younger generation
Before the animated show of Boondocks came out it was a comic strip. In several newspapers, for quite a while. Just imagine reading Garfield then on to the Boondocks, and then Hagar the Horrible.
White guy here. Fancy cheese does indeed work lol Boondocks is my favorite Adult Swim show, and I like having reaction videos on while I'm browsing the internet. I enjoyed you guys' commentary. You've got a new viewer.
This is great watching the two of you reacting ❤ the enjoy your father and son time. It is priceless in these times. I was a daddy's girl and miss my father.
I remember as a kid, I watched the 1st few episodes with my Grama. She was like a teen in the 1940s-50s so she went through some things. But watching this first episode?…She was messed up! 😂 but she kept watching along with me. She was a good sport. I miss my lady, she’s my ancestor now 🕊️💕
Though I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid, I never saw Boondocks and I think that's 'cause I'm Australian so it was probably on an exclusive channel I didn't have. For some reason, I've seen clips on YT over the past 2-3 years tho. Can't say I understand all of it because it's a different culture, but the core of its message still hits is the same due to the similar start of our countries. Real interesting to hear some American perspective and past experience from your Dad there; that's what makes this more special as a react video instead of just being 2 guys giggling at a cartoon and calling it a day.
Gary Anthony Williams voices Uncle Ruckus and with a little hair and makeup he actually looks very similar and dresses up in cosplay and would attend events, it's pretty funny. He also would call in to one of the radio stations around Atlanta I think? and do some jokes with them. All pretty funny stuff you should check out sometime if you can find it. Can't wait for pops to see more Boondocks. He looked really impressed with the premier episode and in my opinion they get 10 times better later on!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Reminds me of watching Family Guy with my step dad. I always liked Family Guy but watching how bad he cracked up at it made the experience so much better
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you spend time with your old man I'm glad he was able to enjoy it and the humor was not lost on him and its always good to see you too Quizzy
I find this truly amazing, how the father knows alot of knowledge from the past and present on his reactions to the cartoon is lay out. I wish I was able to experience this with my father, truly amazing and a gold moment with you guys.
Boondocks is American anime in the sense that anime and manga is a wholly Japanese art form. This comic strip and show really encapsulated something about American culture in a way only a few others have.
Yo bro this episode is powerful parallel to what went on back then in your father's time to what's going on now this is dope man that you get to share these parallels with your dad be this is a powerful thing this is dope shout out to both of you this Dad son shit #DOPE #FACTORIES
Originally on Adult Swim. There are so many great episodes. It was a great show. Ed Asner played the rich white guy. One of my favorites is when Riley plays basketball against the Cindy.
Bruh I was loving your dad's facial expressions like wtf am I watching right now, the same expression my dad had when I had him watch, then he got hooked for a while, I had season's 1 & 2 the boondocks was & still is funny as f*ck with all the dark humor, can't wait to see y'all watch the next one thanks for sharing bro 💯✌️
Give us more Boondocks with Dad. I would have loved to have watched this show with my Grandfather, but he passed. You watching with your dad is a pretty good proxy. Boondocks remains undefeated because it didn't pull any punches. Its funny, but its also commentary.
Loved to see your fathers reaction! Boondocks is so under-rated it's ridiculous. Love how the series has given me several intimate insights in Afro-American culture. ✊️ from Norway
I was just watching this as a reaction but when your dad started talking about his experience I immediately liked and subscribed. It’s so important to document in anyway the experience of people like your dad while we have them.
I’m 26 from Australia and watched this with my (mostly white) friends and family growing up and always wondered about black American culture afterwards, I know it’s a weird place to start but I didn’t have any black American friends so I got curious from watching this and it’s pretty much the only reason I know anything about black culture over there, not that I know that much really. This show to you guys is what “the big lez show” only found on UA-cam, is to Australians.
From my perspective, this show is the generation born from the 70's through the 80's version of self reflection in a comedy format. Lot's of "familiar characters" to those from that era. The parent/guardian that pines for the 60's. Kids raised by grandparents. The "Gangsta/Hustle" culture. Etc. Its bridges into later generations, but the focus is on that 70-80's kids view of the world. It is a little more race focused than actual day to day life would be in reality, but its entertainment which exaggerates for effect. However, in terms of social commentary, its a very poignant series for when it came out. Hugely popular when it came out.. Even to the point it was bootlegged.
I like how the show always showed how all sides had their offensive nature, all sides were stupid in their own right and had way more in common than they ever thought.
You definitely beat 200 likes. As of 18th August, you got 2.2k likes already. I have never seen Boondocks. Not sure if it was ever aired in Britain. Definitely gonna have to watch it now. I really enjoyed this pilot episode
HERE IS THE OFFICAL PLAYLIST FOR THE BOONDOCKS ft. Dad : ua-cam.com/play/PLccs7mWnTdE-2ti9zgI0fb5dnDYC0N31X.html
Dang, 2 are hidden, or unavailable, or something. Looks like 3 and... 5?
Yo, your dad looks mesmerized and shocked :-D To be fair, thats what the series is all about - brutally honest, sterotypical but yet anti-racist. It's just that the last bit is not as obvious as the others. In Germany me and my friends loved this show.

As a white woman I can totally confirm that fancy cheese is by far the most effective bribe anyone could give me 😂

Doesn't even have to be "fancy." I'd have jumped on that Velveeta.

Your dad DEFINITELY knew a Ruckus.
That secondhand shame speaks volumes. I had that same look when I first saw him. 🤣🤣
It's cool to have your dad's context here as somebody who lived through a lot of this stuff.
Agreed. He has context to even the irl events i never witnessed or known about the early years of black people.
Honestly, his father makes me feel younger, I miss when people was real, cultured, eloquent, educated, and yet able to think on their own. Just isn't easy to find these days.

basically, a shape shifting witch/cursed person
Boondocks is definitely a bridge builder for everybody, Cuz it's so relatable and says it in a hilarious and profound way. I remember watching this episode the first time and laughed my ass off! 🤣. Re-watching as an adult and filtering it through context this show demonstrates the absolute chaos of our society and its twisted sensibilities. Awesome video, glad your dad liked the show!
Wouldn't call it anime, definitely anime inspired. That post-Toonami scene. You should check out the original Boondocks comic. Love watching you and your dad enjoying this together. When he was alive, my pop always put comics and anime down, until I showed him Alan Moore and Akira.
It was animated by Madhouse.
@@punkgrl325 That's the fun game of production. A lot of "anime" generated in Japan is produced in South Korea, but where do you say the product is from? Does the nationality or race author have any say on how the product is labelled?
@@tmonti7275 no the way it looks has a say on how its labelled, just like how avatar is also called an anime by alot of people, but the boondocks is just actually animated by a anime studio
@@tmonti7275 No it does not. Anime is a animation production style, regardless of where.
@@gelatogremlin Says whom?
I love seeing this, a father and a son just enjoying time together and watching The Boondocks
I've seen the whole series a million times, seeing you and your dad enjoy it made it 100x more enjoyable!
this is a great reaction normally theres reactions of younger people discovering older music but its really cool to see an older person see a great show that is from the younger generation
Before the animated show of Boondocks came out it was a comic strip. In several newspapers, for quite a while. Just imagine reading Garfield then on to the Boondocks, and then Hagar the Horrible.
White guy here. Fancy cheese does indeed work lol
Boondocks is my favorite Adult Swim show, and I like having reaction videos on while I'm browsing the internet. I enjoyed you guys' commentary. You've got a new viewer.
So nice seeing some father son bonding time.
“You speak so well”
“You’re so articulate”
💀💀 bruhhh
This is great watching the two of you reacting ❤ the enjoy your father and son time. It is priceless in these times. I was a daddy's girl and miss my father.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Quizzy 🌹🌹🌹🌹and your dad y’all look so happy together 🦋🦋love from Santa 🎅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember as a kid, I watched the 1st few episodes with my Grama. She was like a teen in the 1940s-50s so she went through some things. But watching this first episode?…She was messed up! 😂 but she kept watching along with me. She was a good sport. I miss my lady, she’s my ancestor now 🕊️💕
I was born in the early 90's and didn't comprehend a lot of this show as a kid but appreciate the comedy and commentary way more as growed up
I appreciate your pops giving insight on what happend.
Charlie Murphy and Samuel L Jackson playing Ed and Rumey is the best
Man your dad is a legend I could sit hear and listen to his stories of our history 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Though I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid, I never saw Boondocks and I think that's 'cause I'm Australian so it was probably on an exclusive channel I didn't have. For some reason, I've seen clips on YT over the past 2-3 years tho. Can't say I understand all of it because it's a different culture, but the core of its message still hits is the same due to the similar start of our countries. Real interesting to hear some American perspective and past experience from your Dad there; that's what makes this more special as a react video instead of just being 2 guys giggling at a cartoon and calling it a day.
Gary Anthony Williams voices Uncle Ruckus and with a little hair and makeup he actually looks very similar and dresses up in cosplay and would attend events, it's pretty funny. He also would call in to one of the radio stations around Atlanta I think? and do some jokes with them. All pretty funny stuff you should check out sometime if you can find it.
Can't wait for pops to see more Boondocks. He looked really impressed with the premier episode and in my opinion they get 10 times better later on!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Reminds me of watching Family Guy with my step dad. I always liked Family Guy but watching how bad he cracked up at it made the experience so much better
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you spend time with your old man I'm glad he was able to enjoy it and the humor was not lost on him and its always good to see you too Quizzy
I’d love to see you guys watching “Riley was here” and “The Passion of Uncle Ruckus” the two most emotional and in my opinion, best episodes.
I find this truly amazing, how the father knows alot of knowledge from the past and present on his reactions to the cartoon is lay out. I wish I was able to experience this with my father, truly amazing and a gold moment with you guys.
Your pops is so wholesome he makes me so happy like i could be having the worst day and he'd still be able to make me smile 😁
This is love frfr ❤️ having your pops sit down and watch this goofy stuff 😂💯
Boondocks is the greatest show ever made.
Shalom I am glad to see more people from Missouri .
Also this is funny stuff.
I've seen boondocks at least three or four times and I had the pleasure of getting to watch it as it came out
I want o binge this at work but I VERY MUCH CANNOT BINGE THIS AT WORK
XD
Boondocks is American anime in the sense that anime and manga is a wholly Japanese art form. This comic strip and show really encapsulated something about American culture in a way only a few others have.
You & your dad are a good duo, really enjoying watching these and gaining your insight
i love it when kids watch something with their parents
I really want your dad's reaction to the Martin Luther King episode.
It was something else hearing from an elder about the flash back scene.
i love coming across smaller channels that do this kinda content its nice to see enjoyed his reactions
Mannn thankyou! Ima have to get my dad on more of these episodes
@@quizzyondemand love to see you guys reminds me of me and my brothers watching funny stuff
Yo bro this episode is powerful parallel to what went on back then in your father's time to what's going on now this is dope man that you get to share these parallels with your dad be this is a powerful thing this is dope shout out to both of you this Dad son shit #DOPE #FACTORIES
enjoyed watching my fave show with some company. much love from 🇵🇭
Originally on Adult Swim. There are so many great episodes. It was a great show. Ed Asner played the rich white guy. One of my favorites is when Riley plays basketball against the Cindy.
One of my favorite animated shows of all time! Rest in Peace to John Witherspoon, Ed Asner, and Charlie Murphy. 🙏
Bruh I was loving your dad's facial expressions like wtf am I watching right now, the same expression my dad had when I had him watch, then he got hooked for a while, I had season's 1 & 2 the boondocks was & still is funny as f*ck with all the dark humor, can't wait to see y'all watch the next one thanks for sharing bro 💯✌️
Give us more Boondocks with Dad. I would have loved to have watched this show with my Grandfather, but he passed. You watching with your dad is a pretty good proxy. Boondocks remains undefeated because it didn't pull any punches. Its funny, but its also commentary.
I really appreciate your dad's perspective on this, especially at 12:30.
Seen this episode plenty but watching it wit ur pops was too fun. Good shit bro I dig it
I wanna watch the whole show with you guys
hell yes! spend more time with your older folks yall, you"ll love it! this is wholesome af even for it being the boondocks LMFAOOO
16:45 yo this moment the best 😭😭😭
“We eat, sleep, shit, and wanna be happy”
And miss The Boondocks. We all miss The Boondocks 😄
love this, gonna have to check out your pop's radio show, i work 2nd shift so i'll be able to tune in right after my lunch.
Loved to see your fathers reaction! Boondocks is so under-rated it's ridiculous. Love how the series has given me several intimate insights in Afro-American culture. ✊️ from Norway
I was just watching this as a reaction but when your dad started talking about his experience I immediately liked and subscribed. It’s so important to document in anyway the experience of people like your dad while we have them.
I can’t wait for the next episode! Honestly one of the greatest shows In media history
I miss my pops. I loved bouncing stuff like this off him. This is cool content brother. Thanks y’all. Keep it up!!
When he looks in the cam after his dad laughs... Like... yeah...Got Him!
This came out when I was in high school and Bastrop Texas. It was a sensation! 🥰
I watched that show back when it first came out and it still makes me laugh 😂
Boondocks fight scenes are 🔥
you two got some pure-hearted smiles
quizzy 🔥 i like your videos you make me every time i watch your videos laugh 😂 keep going my man 🔥
I’m 26 from Australia and watched this with my (mostly white) friends and family growing up and always wondered about black American culture afterwards, I know it’s a weird place to start but I didn’t have any black American friends so I got curious from watching this and it’s pretty much the only reason I know anything about black culture over there, not that I know that much really. This show to you guys is what “the big lez show” only found on UA-cam, is to Australians.
From my perspective, this show is the generation born from the 70's through the 80's version of self reflection in a comedy format. Lot's of "familiar characters" to those from that era. The parent/guardian that pines for the 60's. Kids raised by grandparents. The "Gangsta/Hustle" culture. Etc. Its bridges into later generations, but the focus is on that 70-80's kids view of the world. It is a little more race focused than actual day to day life would be in reality, but its entertainment which exaggerates for effect.
However, in terms of social commentary, its a very poignant series for when it came out. Hugely popular when it came out.. Even to the point it was bootlegged.
I love this show , Bruh it’s older than me but it’s a GEM
I like how the show always showed how all sides had their offensive nature, all sides were stupid in their own right and had way more in common than they ever thought.
You definitely beat 200 likes. As of 18th August, you got 2.2k likes already.
I have never seen Boondocks. Not sure if it was ever aired in Britain. Definitely gonna have to watch it now. I really enjoyed this pilot episode
It started as a newspaper comic here in my hometown of thomasville Georgia
*FOR SURE* do more of this series. So good.
Glad to see y’all doing well and you right back to business
