The older I get, the more I realize the whole joke about Huey is that he says, and often does the right thing-- but in all the wrong ways. His organizations are rarely larger than two or three people tops, he’s prone to individualist adventurism that should by all rights and means go sideways, and by the time the third season started, his self-doubt as a result of so much failed individual adventurism crippled his efficacy. There’s always something to learn from the first three seasons, I feel.
Granted the entire joke is also that he’s 10 years old. Even if he was Lenin incarnate, there is very little that someone at that age can realistically accomplish. Even in the Boondocks universe.
Individualistic adventurism seems very much like what every 10 year old would do.
It was meant for Black consumption that’s for sure lol.
To me, Huey is probably one of the most obvious self insert characters by a creator/author you’ll see in a show or comic strip. It’s done well and the creator of the show was actually cool, so it works. But Huey’s views are just the views of Aaron McGruder, from the left wing politics, to the critique of mainstream culture, to the 9/11 stuff, the last of which was made plainly obvious in the final episode of season 3.
Still love the show though.
Huey is a trot who split his party 23 times
Honestly, at that point that’s just impressive.
ngl this was how I found out I was a leftist 💀
This show was so fucking good, the theme song goes stupid hard
Boondocks Theme Song is literally my fav theme song ever, I really like ATHF’s too but Boondocks wins
ATHF?
Aqua Team Hunger Force
Is it good? Other than the theme song?
It’s a typical adult comedy show, but actively funny, and a lot less racism.
average trot/hj
I’m still proud of the leftist org I started almost ten years ago. I eventually found people to run it to the point that when I burned out and resigned my leadership position, I realized I couldn’t get that old position back even if I wanted to and the org was moving on without me.
I’m truly proud of that and of the people keeping it going.
As someone who has never seen the Boondocks but is very curious about it, where would we recommend one to watch it?
Thanks for reminding me to update qBittorrent
Thank you for the cool site, comrade! If you can’t find something there my go-to torrent index is torrentz2.nz/solidtorrents.to (be wary and have uBlock always activated and JS off in both)
On Hulu 🙂
I have Hulu and I don’t have access to it. It says “watch with live TV”. Is that an add-on? You know what, nvm I’ll just find a torrent
I think some places like sling and adultswim have it for free. However, I support.
Or Hbo Max/Max
There are comic books too FYI
The Boondocks was such a good show.
