Oh, you Def need to watch the whole thing. It's an awesome show, great writing and characters. Ruckus is a very deep character, once you know his background.
Uncle Ruckus does have a tragic back story: His dad would beat the shit out if him constantly, while his mother would tell him it was because he was white and she would teach him his current views. Now despite his views on race, he still shows love and compassion towards his mom and brothers, and even considers Robert a friend, which is wholesome ..... In a strange, twisted way.
They left out the funniest one IMO. Uncle Ruckus takes a DNA test and finds out that he is 102% African with a 2% margin of error. LOL! he doesn't take it well. His character is sad, wrong and hilarious.
Definitely give this series a shot. The entire show is an examination of black America and is 100% unapologetic in its writing. It’s a glorious piece of work every black person in America deserves to experience in their life. 😂👌🏽
I bought the thing on DVD when they came out. It still holds up today as some of the funniest stuff around. Ruckus doing an exorcism almost gave me a heart attack it was so damn funny.
First time I ever saw this was sitting in the basement of my buddy's house. I was the only white guy in a room of 6 people. I swear to God I held my breath the whole episode.
Haha my brother in law had a similar experience. Went to a friends house, was the only white guy there and they were watching American History X. Awwwwwkward.
why ? his view was of how he was horribly mistreated. He was delusional about his origin, but there was a painful reason behind all that "bigotry". A world hated him at birth, so he decided to hate that same world back. I would rather say he was delusional and resentful rather than ignorant. @@nooneinparticular5256
I still remember watching boondocks when it came on Adult Swim after Cartoon Network shut down for the night. The dark humor is what completely makes this show different than everything else out there.
Idk. It was on Adult Swim, then Netflix. Now it's on HBO Max. I'd say it's one of the top five US animated tv comedy shows in the past two decades. South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, Archer, Boondocks, in no order.
It became big to me, I've watched and re-watched every episode several times. It never gets boring. There is so much to unpack and think about and learn from this show. Every character is so unique , Tom the pacifist and coward , Jasmine the Pacifist and Innocence, Sarah the Strong female, Mother figure Grandpa the womanizer, angry old man, Riley, the gangster and trouble maker, Huey, The logical and calm headed. And of course the delusional Re-Vitaligo ridden mega racist Uncle Ruckus, as well as many other characters.
I love The Boondocks! It did a great job of highlighting the insanity of the world. He has a RUclips channel where he dresses up like Ruckus and does the whole thing. He was trying to crowd fund a live action movie.
Yeah, Uncle Ruckus IS in fact that crazy on a regular basis. Though considering some of the other characters he stumbles into sometimes they actually make his hatred valid.
It's a glass eye, on the right. Completely mismatched to his real left eye, as it doesn't even fit. I couldn't even begin to guess why the creators gave him that. I agree with you. Ruckus could have used some red eye substances.
@@LEL-Lord Positive. The beatings he received from Mister Ruckus resulted in the loss of his right eye. I'm not even sure it's actually a glass eye, as it looks like a ping pong ball with a dot drawn on it.
I was dating a black woman when she made me watch this show. My face was swollen red from containing all the laughter. When I finally bursted out laughing, she went down and we had such an amazing time together. God bless Uncle Ruckus
I'm loving your reactions. LMFAO! 🤣 I watched this on my own last month. I miss this show, and Ruckus was just so over the top you can't help but crack up. 🔥
"We VOTE!" sent my sides into outer space. It wouldn't be as funny if you didn't believe that HE believes everything he says. It makes him so ridiculous and so funny!
Love he actor who play ruckus. He was Stevies father in Malcolm in the Middle and the guy in Harold and Kumar that they meet in jail. i didn't know you were back. Good to see you and your new channels.
Remember Malcolm In The Middle? Remember his best friend Stevie in the wheelchair? Remember Stevie's dad? His name is Gary Anthony Williams. He's a comedian who was also on Whose Line is it Anyway?
Uncle ruckus can never create too much ruckus. He was named by his lord and savior as such for a reason. Also it is rare but people can survive a lightning bolt. It helps if you have something to channel the bolts energy into after it strikes you. Although that would all be by chance same as it is chance that your even struck. For instance, when a person uses an umbrella in a lightning storm it is acting as a conducting rod to direct the lighting to you. You just want it to go the opposite direction out of you once hit. I think you should check out tesla coil music it is a pretty cool invention and funny to see. Some people have used tesla coils to create a noise at the right frequences at the right time to essentially play music from spewing lightning from the coils its pretty cool. I know you have watched many rock videos on one of your channels and this would be a fun littlr thing to watch in my opinion.
Boondocks was a hell of a ride of a show. Bringing social standards of society in the light and showing we all can be great, and we all can be an Uncle Ruckus. Huey has to be the best, but he too is a social justice stereotype but damn, you gotta respect the kids determination.
I never heard of this show until after it was over. Binge watching it was one of the few highlights of the government lockdowns. I lost count of how many times I said to myself "This show... ran on BET?!"
My memory is hazy, but I believe Ruckus was only supposed to be in the first episode, but one of the co creators thought he was too funny so we got 4 seasons of insanity. Also, apparently season 5 is done but releasing it now.... I could see why not hahaha. I hope someday though, John Witherspoon is passed away now, I'd love to see more of his impressive comedy abilities
Thank you for finally watching/ his I have been suggesting you watch the "Boondocks for the longest time ,you really need to watch the show it is hilarious. All of the characters are in depth about their beliefs and you have to watch the episode that tells uncle ruckus's background story. Please watch this show.
At the very end when Ruckus was hit with a lightening bolt and thought it was god punishing him well it took away his cancer that might just show that god loves Uncle Ruckus to intervene to continue so Ruckus can continue his work lol
Mr Video was a lot more accepting of Uncle Ruckus at first glance than I would have thought. He is a tragic character but it is hard to see. Took forever before I got past the 'holy crap' response whenever he was on screen. That was a wild series.
Thank you to the people who recommended this. I had never heard of it before, only in reference to someone saying that someone was like Uncle Ruccus. When was this on TV ? I suspect that this could only be done as a cartoon. Like South Park and Family Guy. It's very clever and we'll observed, but makes your toes curl at the same time.

Lol I've been commenting the things I guessed would be in this. I guess I remember better than I thought. I watched this on adult swim back in the 2000s. Drunk as hell.
Oh, you Def need to watch the whole thing. It's an awesome show, great writing and characters. Ruckus is a very deep character, once you know his background.
First 3 seasons are where it's at. Season 4 was done without Aaron McGruder and suffered for it.
"gay is the new black" was a later episode that was still hilarious!!! check that one out for sure!
“Deep character”? More like a buffoon

Yea most people miss that, it's not right way he is, but he hates because he equates his dad's abuse with all black people
His narcissistic grandmother didn't help matters either. It's rather surprising how his brothers turned out so normal.
Yeah his story was a bit more touching than I could have ever imagined.
This is for me why uncle runkus in one of the best characters
@TheRapper10000 I catch you wantin' to be shit?
Uncle Ruckus gives Dave Chappelle's Clayton Bigsby character a run for his money.

Nah, nah, this can't be! 💀💀💀
That clip was pure gold. I laughed so hard the first time I saw that.
His back story is messed up his whole family is terrible.
Man tried to hang himself
bro then he started trying to act like a black person except all he has is his racist beliefs, so he did things like quit all his jobs hahahah
Was an awesome show. Whoever decided to make Sam Jackson and Charlie Murphy white guys is beyond us all.
Notice that also happen quote Pulp Fiction and Monty Python
Charlie Murphy as a rich white wanna be thug ... that's pure gold
This show was iconic, the intro song, the jokes, and the characters. This show really was in its prime
what was the song?

Dude it's a great show on top of it. I'm neither American nor Black but I can barely breathe for laughing watching it.
There's some spot on commentary about white people in the show too. Mostly dealing with the forms of racism that aren't overt hatred.
It’s great abs hilarious as a white American too.
And not only black people in America! I'm a white italian, and I LOVE the show!
Me when I’m not intersectional:
My skin just continues to get darker and darker, like the opposite of Michael Jackson…lucky bastard 🤣🤣🤣
Re Vitiligo I think he said he had. Love this show
I bought the thing on DVD when they came out. It still holds up today as some of the funniest stuff around. Ruckus doing an exorcism almost gave me a heart attack it was so damn funny.
READ N***A!
You got bad credit Robert!
There is like 3 or 4 episodes never aired on TV on the DVDs too. Hopefully they actually release season 5 some day
A JOB APPLICATION
Wasn't that exorcism basically Ruckus, grandpa Freeman, Riley and Huey beating a possessed Tom with belts for a few hours.
My favorite Uncle Ruckus moment is when he gets his DNA test results back.
he got them live on BET too. tragic.
All my black friends love Uncle Ruckus. Especially because he, well, just _shows_ up whenever the plot demands.
Like how many different jobs can a man have?
He shows how stupid racism is and well always be
@@H3r0toZ3r0 Amen to that.
@@H3r0toZ3r0Its also hilarious

I tell people the A Tribe Called Quest line when they try to shorten "The Insane Shecklador" but sadly no one seems to get the reference.
I believe the key message of the show, is that ignorance makes idiots of everyone--regardless of race. Ruckus is a prime example of this.
Are you calling Uncle Ruckus an ignorant?
@@nicandromartinezsotelo3300 Yes. A victim, but still ignorant.

This is one of the best shows that never “made it big”
How can it be a best then?
Idk. It was on Adult Swim, then Netflix. Now it's on HBO Max. I'd say it's one of the top five US animated tv comedy shows in the past two decades. South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, Archer, Boondocks, in no order.
It became big to me, I've watched and re-watched every episode several times. It never gets boring. There is so much to unpack and think about and learn from this show.

And of course the delusional Re-Vitaligo ridden mega racist Uncle Ruckus, as well as many other characters.
Never made it big? Did we watch the same show?
CNN ran a history of the sitcom segment and this was the only animated show of the 21st century they featured.
I love The Boondocks! It did a great job of highlighting the insanity of the world. He has a RUclips channel where he dresses up like Ruckus and does the whole thing. He was trying to crowd fund a live action movie.

@@LEL-Lord Positive. The beatings he received from Mister Ruckus resulted in the loss of his right eye. I'm not even sure it's actually a glass eye, as it looks like a ping pong ball with a dot drawn on it.
Boondocks "Return of The King"
Nuff said.
I miss The BOONDOCKS so much, so upset the reboot got shelved. 4 Great seasons is all we got.

Boondocks is an elite level show. It is hilarious, so would highly recommend
I grew up watchin the boondocks on Adult Swim and i still, to this day, think uncle is the funniest animated character ever lol
"This is not funny man" while belly laughing 🤣. Sometimes laughing is the best medicine. History is horrible. Let make a better world today.
You never seen this show for real? It's really one of the best shows of the last 20 years.
The Boondocks is such a great show. Probably one of the best of its generation
Gary Anthony Williams voiced Uncle Ruckus i love the character's comedic delivery
Man you should watch the whole boondocks series!!!! I’d watch ya reactions to it for sure, this show is hilarious!!😂😂
I wonder if Sam L Jackson's character in Django is based on Uncle Ruckus. They are exactly the same!! 👀
Uncle Ruckus kinda makes the show ngl. Everytime you see him you know comedy comes with
Me & Leo going to be crying laughing at this😂😂😂
yes we are!

I wanna see a Clayton Bigsby and Uncle Ruckus crossover
I love how Uncle Ruckus has his own tuba theme in the show. Also love the episode where he performs an exorcism.
"That's where I keep my spare blockbuster card!" Kills me every time. 😂
The R Kelly episode was hilarious

It’s “in depth” lol glad you free bro💯
Anyone else in 2023 remember when this show was on teletoon at night? 😂man times were different
the song Ruckus sings at the dinner party is amazing. I hate when these compilations cut it out
The concerned white clapping at the end is perfect
