Uncle Ruckus Learns How to be Black | The Boondocks | adult swim - Фільми й анімація
That "I'm black, I'm not going to the moon I'm going to the liquor store" gets me every time
@@Blank-js3zt what is there to say
Like for real
That’s crazy 😂
I am indigenous and it would be the moon or the sun. The N's are very stupid in intelligence and easily seen as inferior.
I know Right?! That moment left me rolling on the floor laughing the first time I heard it. 😂
"The first thing I did was quit all my jobs"
"Idk how I'm suppose to pay the bills"
@@Kentrc11 "You live in a shack on the outskirts of town."
@@Kentrc11 selling crqck
‘The foist thing I did’
Ruckus did 30 jobs every week
“I’m not walking to the moon I’m walking to the liquor store”
best line.
Story of my life
By far one of the funniest lines I've heard from a show. When I first heard it I'm guessing 14 years ago whenever season 3 aired this episode had me crying from laughter.
@@joel46n24 don’t even gotta be black for that one, fml.
Nuckgas and theirs shoes. Someone please explain the shoes and blacks to me.
Ruckus being a crack dealer would be funny
Agreed
instead of just working every job everywhere he's a crack dealer on every corner everywhere.
I would pay so much money for an uncle ruckus spin off show
Are you Walter white ruckus be like I wish
@@revan5293 there was gonna be a movie but they didn’t meant the funding goal
Ruckus asking Huey how to be black is just the best.
You can't even get replies 😂😂😂
That means he said it so well that no one needed to add anything
Uncle ruckus, no relation finally comin’ to his senses
@@poorlyrenderedrolf8882💯💯he was trynna hate on him for nothing
@@mr.bellefleurjust tryna hate because he didn’t have anything interesting to say, and this guy did. You know it’s a sad life you live when you feel the need to bash others for… literally nothing.
I like how as soon as he becomes aware of the fact he's black he becomes a living stereotype.
Stereotypes is all he knows
"i'm walking to the liquor store"
He was already a living stereotype, just another living stereotype.
That’s what I was going to say
He was already a living stereotype as an Uncle Remus/Uncle Tom.
1:20 I just love how Robert is sincerely trying to help Ruckus realises that nothing in his life has to change. For all the racist bickering, Grandad still considers him enough of a friend to give him wise advices.
Really makes me so sad that John Witherspoon is gone :( but I’m grateful for everything he did while he was here, the man will always be a legend
Ruckus says so many out-of-pocket things but at the end of the day, he's severelly mentally and emotionally unwell. I think Robert knows this and, even though he's beyond annoyed at him, wants to be a positive influence.
Lord knows he's trying 🤣🤣
Robert is the type of friend who always be there for you all the time of need
I don't know _why_ he considers him a friend, though. I feel like they're only written to hang out for the convenience of it.
Really love how the joke is that Ruckus still thinks that black people live as a stereotype, yet all the black people around him are just doing very normal things; reading books, playing videogames, going to the park. once again proving that Boondocks is actually a very intelligent show
He nailed the "next Madden" and "sneakers" stereotype, though. I grew up in the ghetto and holy moly he's not entirely wrong. I think both Malcom X and MLK would be ashamed to see where we are right now.
What I find most ironic, is that the BET that helped perpetuate this self-slavery mindset, has their watermark on this vid, which is from a cartoon that aims to do the opposite.
Best part is Boondocks openly slams BET multiple times, including this episode.
@@manictiger White Democrats/Liberals love keeping blacks as pets. No longer on an agricultural plantation, but an economic, political, and mental prison.
Yep, that's the joke
"Boondocks shows black people doing things that normal people do. That's what makes it so deep and intelligent."
Uncle ruckus is the greatest side character in history.

102% African with a 2% margin of error🤣
😂😂😂
Omg hahahahaha😂😂
So theres a chance he's 104% african😂
Lol so even factoring in the error he's at least 100% and at most 104% diabolical
"Then maybe later we will buy loud stereos and berate women in rap lyrics"
Jesus 💀💀💀💀
Is he wrong
Up till now they still do it
KING Jesus
Mega oof size
Also, please don’t take the Lord’s name in vain
@@markotv6761 Well, sure. But it's not like "Black" is a concept. It's only pushed onto people. "White" doesn't mean you have a job and a good life. It's just the color of your skin. Sad part? Some Black people think "White" and "Black" ARE concepts. And the sadder part? Disgusting greedy men enforce this view.
@@greyngreyer5"greedy men" Jews?
Ruckus has a lot of great episodes, but this by far is the funniest one of them all. Every line is classic
what episode is this?
I dunno , the colour ruckus was a fantastic episode too. His dad in that one killed it
@@hucklebot Uncle Ruckus Reality Show. S2 ep 15
Nah the exorcism episode was funny asf😂😂😂
When he exorcised stunkmeaner
I love how he goes to Huey!🤣
144p-th 👍
Then riley
Ok I'm black what am I supposed to do ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
_”Sit there read books that make you think better of yourself”_
Huey Freeman the CEO of being black
He doesn't hate the skin, he hates the culture the skin is related to. And considering his upbringing, the hate is more psychologically traumatic than self hate.
Yeah because in one episode explains about Uncle Ruckuses past and shows the reason why he hates black people is because his father was very abusive to him and his brothers; plus in return Ruckuses father hated white people. But I'm sure you already know the episode I'm talking about.
He rubs a bleach and sulfur mixture on himself in an attempt to turn his skin back white so maybe it’s both
@@Crashman-1005 I think hes just like anyone excluded from a cool club hell do whatecer it takes to join even if its delusional
@@Crashman-1005 thankfully... He hasn't gotten any darker recently
@@Zimmathon Abusive father and a VERY delusional mother. That entire episode was a mindfuck...
I wonder if at some point throughout making even the first episode they realized that they were making one of the greatest shows of all time or not until after it had been over and off the air for a bit they realized it looking back?
I don’t know but I wish they didn’t kill the reboot 😢
Probably
If you don't already know, it started out as a comic strip way back in like '99-'00. So for it to go from that to TV, I'm confidant the creators knew they had something special.
well retrospect is 20/20
@@brucebruceish That's not proof of anything, how many good works of literature get serialised or turned into films that are utter trash which don't relate to their origin at all?
The Boondocks transferred over perfectly, it was extremely well done.
Voice actors and all.
Bring the show back. The world needs the real show back.
As much as I would love that, the actor who played Grandad passed away a few years ago :(
This world is too soft. It's annoying.
Half the cast is dead bro
It was a great show. Unfortunately racial humor is much to taboo right now. Maybe one day we can get back to being able to laugh with each other about our faults. Nothing wrong with a good ribbing as long as there is no true malice.
@@steelo_g John Witherspoon....he is a legend
Ruckus can only be one kind of man, and that's Ruckus.
That's "Uncle" Ruckus ... no relation.
"And that's all we ever gonna be." Hearing Ruckus say that while crying made me feel genuinely sorry for him. Especially knowing that those same words echoed his father's abuse.
"Nibba did I just catch you having fun?"
"I'm black, I'm not walking to the moon, I'm walking to the liquor store!" My favorite line in this
"The first thing I did was quit all my jobs"
😂😂😂😂😂
"Selling crack, rappin' or rappin' about selling crack" 😂😂 😂😂😂
They cut out, “now I don’t see why you feel the need to insult a man before a game uh checkahs”😂
I think that quote was from Season 1, Episode 2.
that’s from a different season altogether
Different episode
I actually cried when they revealed Ruckus's backstory. Not that it excuses his comments but he's just as much a victim of prejudice as those he belittles.
He has a hard time accepting the fact of the matter... Yet he became what he feared most. I think they just use him to say what we are all thinking in a way that does not get the creator of the show canceled. Pure Genius. The only way to ground these messages from God.
@@Blackafternoon hate to break it to you but if you see ruckus as a projection of your inner thoughts you're just racist
@@swian9440 say that to the creator you L beta we are all racist here. Get used to it. kek just need to know who the real enemy is.. ask YE

"I'm not walking to the moon, I'm walking to the liquor store." Lmao
Funniest line
I like how huey kinda feels bad for him
In a weird way, they’re the most competent characters.
@@wormwoodcocktail huey is by far the most competent on the show
@@GamingUser-nm6tz Yeah, Huey is. I’m saying Rukus is also pretty competent. The dude is a bus driver (special license), works 40 something other jobs, knows how to use nunchaku, etc.
Gary Anthony Williams was in a 1990 episode of In The Heat Of Night as a handyman accused of murder. He looked just like Ruckus too, with the overalls, bucked up eyeballs and the messed up hair. He was prepping himself for Ruckus without realizing it.
Really? I didn't know! Thank you!
Thought I was the only one who saw that one...
In the heat of the night you are a very cultured man not may people older than me heard of that show. It's a really good show to
He went to an event dressed as Ruckus once and he literally looked just like him.
I’ll remember him for two things, Uncle Ruckus and Abe from Malcolm In The Middle.
The joke about Madden got me 🤣
Lol when he put on the super long tee 🤣
Instantly 😅 the best part
“Can I get a shoe named after a white man?! Please?!” Lmfao 💀
Trump working on it. 😂
Chuck Taylor.

So far, this has to be one of my most favorite episodes in The Boondocks in history.
This is one of my favorites and the one about Obama is also
Bring it back! Bring us more seasons!

I think it's best left alone
The actor died so its best to respect them by leaving the show alone

“I’m not walking to the moon. I’m walking to the liquor store.”
That line had me rolling 😆
"im black now, so the first thing I did was quit all my jobs" this subtle joke cracked me up.
Remember that time Uncle Ruckus went to “White Heaven” 😂😂
Yes! :)
*PRAISE WHITE JESUS*
@@jameshill3403 AAAA-MEN!!!
So practically... embody every single negative stereotypes that you could think of. I love this show.😂
“Im black, im not walkin to the moon, im walkin to the liquor store” 🤣🤣
Most people are missing the point. Yes prejudice happens. But that doesn't mean being black inherently means you have to be a low life. We can all choose who we want to be.
good comment
They just choose it more often
You missed the point also
@0000x0000referenced nah dude. Watch the video again and listen to everything ruckus is saying. Because he's black and finally accepted it, he started trying to fit thr part.
But what did the grandad say? "You were black yesterday, today, and you will still be black tomorrow. So maybe you will actually learn to like it."
At the end of the day we all are who we are and we can't change it. What we can change is our outlook and attitude.
@@Gusta3691 my point is ruckus and all characters represent multitude of archetypes in the black community. Huey the revolutionary and his best friend from Chicago represent the social activism and hoteps. Riley represents urban youth. Grandad represents the older generation and a vanguard of his era despite him having no involvement. Tom Dubois and Ruckus are very similar characters but they choose to go about their disdain for blackness in a different way. Tom believes he can be successful enough to evade racism and marrying a white woman will absolve him of racism. Ruckus on the other hand rejects his blackness entirely and works against anything black. When he is confronted with the undeniable truth of him being black he cannot help but to think of himself as a lesser being. He believes because he is black he is incapable of doing anything right. He believe he must become a lumpen through and through out of spite of him being black. In this regard he is also partially similar to Riley
I like how Huey didn’t throw shots at Ruckus he’s going though it already
“I’m black I’m not going to the moon I’m going to the liquor store.”
I felt that
Uncle Ruckus would go absolutely crazy on Twitter
He would be president and everyone would be happy
@@GarkKahnDude can work a million jobs at once. Imagine how much he’d get done in office
“Ok. I’m black. What am I supposed to do now?” 🤣
He can start selling crack, or rap, or rap about selling crack.
Honestly… if they made a series where it was just Ruckus… I’d be happy with that! 🤣
they were gonna make a live action movie
Principal Lewis vs Uncle Ruckus
it would be too racist for tv.
"Waiting for the next Madden to come out." Lol
Honestly it's... Kinda accurate and I don't know if I'm being racist for saying that or not apologies "typing it"
@@wwalton it's hard but.... Yeah it's true.
Does anyone even buy those games anymore? I thought yearly official sports games should have died out a decade ago.
@@Chicky_Lumps I know one who stills plays, ANGRY JOE.
@@Chicky_Lumps nope apparently not
I’m grateful this show exists. I know it’s comedy, but it also says a lot too.
One of the greatest satirical characters ever made. Pure brilliance
One of my favorite episodes of The Boondocks too funny 😂😂😂😂😂
I read this in uncle ruckus voice.
What episode if it
Uncle Ruckus gota be one of the funniest characters of all time.
1:50 possibly the best line!
Oh no, no. No this can't be. It says I'm one hundred and two percent African, with the two percent being a margin of error.
Why Lord? WHY LORD WHYYYY????
Lives rent free in my head fr
‘’Oh , we probably gonna die any secund now’’ gets me every time.
God I miss this show😂
0:33 _”Sit there read books that make you think better of yourself”_ 😂
The thing that is genius about Uncle Ruckus character is that he is brutally honest and blunt about how a distinct group of stereotypical black people act.
"i'm black i'm not walking to the moon i'm walking to the liquor store"😂😂💀
One of my favourite slice of life animes
0:44 Learning about the kind of upbringing Ruckus had actually makes this kind of sad. He wasn’t even allowed to have fun, let alone think he could ever make anything of himself.
Adult swim must've peeped all the boondocks hype lately nd had to upload a classic clip.😂
"Well, I'm black now. So the first thing I did was quit all my jobs"
I love this show 🤣
Kanye at 65
Probably my #1 fave animated series, including S-tier anime and classics like Frisky Dingo and Archer. Brilliant writing, brilliant animation and superb voice acting from a team of actors and comics that had little or no grounding in it, A masterpiece that cannot be recreated.
As far as I know, just being yourself is being black... if you're black. Just be yourself!
Yeah that’s the joke . . .
Perfect
“LeBron James…Allen Iverson…Can I get a shoe named after a white man please???”
😂😂😂
Would have been hilarious if Uncle Ruckus said "Ha! Jokes on them . Iverson is a Norwegian, Danish or Swedish. And James is English"
Trump ricks
Ruckus highKey my spirit homie.
Sad yet hilarious at the same time ⏲️
Uncle ruckus was a character that basically proves anyone can be racist lmao 🤣
“It looks like a dang astronaut shoe” lol
"okay im Black now" bro gained Full acess to the N-word pass 💀💀💀
He never asked for permission
0:17 the closest and clearest moment for him to be honest with himself in the series.
0:47
Had me dying
Man so sad we Most likely won’t ever get to see any new seasons again, but the longevity of all the episodes and seasons are still Great and will never lose any value
this needs a comeback
The world is to soft now. The show would get cancelled after the first episode.
The voice actor for Huey passed away so I don’t know how that’s going to work
"I'm not walking to the moon, I'm walking to the liquor store" 💀💀💀
Poor Uncle Ruckus. Self-hatred sucks and I feel bad for him. I could give him a hug nowish.
bring back this show
The Boondocks, Morel Orel, the Venture Bros. The golden Era of adult Swim.

1:00-🤭Not A Playstation Controller.
Old ppl call every game system Nintendo or PlayStation depending on their generation lol.
Uncle Rukus would kill for Luka Doncic’ shoes
Imagining the guy that voices Ruckus in the studio crying, "That's all we ever gonna' be" really makes me giggly.
The sneaker store KILLS me every single time
I tear drops from my eye to think how the writers manage to come up with these classics
He really went through the five stages of grief LMAO
I've never seen Boondocks before but this had me close to stitches. Ruckus is so quotable!
'Scuse me, Darkie in the Zebra shirt, can I get a Bruce Jenner sneaker'
I don’t know why he possibly thinks he’s white
Watch The Color Ruckus. It was a lie his mother told him.
"Can I get a shoe named after a white man"😂😂😂😂😂
I learned from someone that one of the biggest problems black folks face, is a destroyed sense of self-worth, and this highlights that to me. Here Ruckus lost his self-worth and decided he had to live like it, be jobless and drink liquor, etc, just like some black folks really do. When he thinks he's white, he feels valuable and like what he does matters. The others don't think that way, they know they are valuable and that what they do is meaningful, regardless of skin color or culture. This is real life, and it's awful and very complicated, and this show masterfully illustrates it and actually manages you laugh as you learn. It's incredible!
Nike didn’t invest in the Steve Nash’s but he did have custom shoes. Now we got the Luka’s now.
When he put on the long white tee shirt, i lost it 😂😂😂😂
This had the to be the most depressing episode of Ruckus next to the one with his dad lol
He deserves it tho, literally does it to himself at that point.
RIP The Boondocks. 3 of the best seasons of television ever made.
Ruckus is bar none the funniest character on the show
Yep, he's basically the Eric Cartman of boondocks
5 seconds in and I'm dying, this guy is gold. The writing/voice acting 🤌👌
The blueprint for Samuel Lee Jackson’s character in Django
Fun fact: Ruckus' father's appearance inspired the look for Jackson in Django
NOOOOOO!!! CALVIN!
I've never seen this show but after watching a few Uncle Ruckus clips I went and bought the whole series on dvd.
Uncle Ruckus is full of memorable quotes.
Many of which can't be repeated in polite company
@@SnuggsMcDuff But it sounds funny by his character. :D
Ruckus is the definition of someone that everyone likes bc he's fictional. But everyone would hate irl lmao
"I'm 103% African American, with a 3% margin of error."
@@PlebNC Sorry to bother, but I must correct you. It was "I'm 102% African, with a 2% margin of error". Lol
Can you imagine if Ruckus just got some counseling
Should’ve told ruckes that being black doesn’t mean he gotta stop hating them
He was already hating himself😂😂
