Boondocks

Has anybody been watching this show? I find it both smart and funny, even though it tries VERY heard to come across as low-brow and crass. Ironic humor's always been a favorite of mine, so this show's right up my ally. All of the episodes can be seen on YouTube.com, so check 'em out if you're in the mood to laugh then hate yourself for it, then laugh again because that's exactly what they were going for.

Oh man. I love the Boondocks.

The MLK episode was freakin hilarious.

A little on the racist side, but still amazing.

I disagree. The show does not take stabs at the african race. It takes stabs at black culture. I argue that "culture" and "race" are two different things.

Whatever it is. It's funny and it makes me laugh.

Nothing better than a good "culture" joke.

I'm guessing this is unconnected to the comic strip of the same name, then?

It's an animated version of that same comic strip.

Ah, cool.

Been a few years since I read any Boondocks. Wasn't anything like I remembered.

Something to do with me confusing it with Doonesbury, no doubt.
