This show's creators/writers are so talented. Which we clearly find out as we continue through this journey with y'all. Thank you so much for the comment and watching with us. We look forward to conversing again in another vid :) Thanks Meaty! -M@
Even the car scene before they get to the store is a huge play on the war on terror. The fact that they knew where the Killer/Terrorist where Afghanistan but they had to make a stop at the store/Iraq@@WellHelloSilly
The store owner saying 'youre thinking of the KOREAN shop NORTH of here' was the best part . Anyways the whole thing was ridiculous why is it ok only for the western colonial powers to have WMDs but everyone else is a threat
Lol... Matt's comment about Charlie Murphy being involved in the Chappelle s show... remember that show where they put that white kid with all those gangster ass people... that's hilarious! You guys are a treat to watch!
@@WellHelloSilly The "known known and unknown unknown" bit is from Donald Rumsfeld during 9/11 period speeches done by Samuel Jackson. Nice to have context when watching it. The saying was said in the past by Carl Sagan the Physicists.
Yes! And LOVE all of the familiar voices of actors and actresses that We've been hearing. Uploading our latest 2 episodes now (S1 Episodes 14 and 15) now and a talk a bit about the voices. Thanks for the interaction Krust! We hope to see you around for more 😁 👍👍
Yeah, and he is also quoting George W. Bush's former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, when saying, "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence" and "Known Knowns...Known Unknowns...and Unkown Unknowns." Gin Rummy is based on Donald Rumsfeld, hence the name "Rummy," while Ed Wuncler III is based on George W. Bush, hence the "W" necklace around his neck. This episode is merely an allegory for the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq (especially Iraq with "Aladin Hussain," again, hence the name) and how the Bush administration (United States, in general) handled the situation. The ending symbolizes what became the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft as America (the people) clapped and celebrated. However, they never caught the real killer. It is brilliant, smart, and genius writing.
Season 1 isn’t as good as the following seasons. Season 2 and season 3 are masterpieces, it’s funnier, smoother and the voice acting is better. I’m really happy you guys are watching please continue
That's awesome to hear Kat! We can't wait to watch more and get them out to you. Thank you so much for the kind words and we will definitely see you around in the comments again soon 😁
This is a straight crack head non media literacy take. Season one is the best season if you understand even the slightest bit of the points the creator was trying to make. Jesus fucking Christ man…….
The gas station scene was a symbolism for the Iraq war and Rummy is a parody of Donald Rumsfeld who defended the invasion of Iraq for weapons of mass destruction by stating “the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” and most famously “Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns-the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.”
also the store owner telling ed that ed's father helped him build the store refers to bush snr helping sadam/iraq build their weapons program. Huey saying he knows who the killer is and where he's at, also refers to bush and his cohorts knowing bin laden was responsible for 9/11 anyway, went to iraq instead to get their oil
Wow! There's so much more to this show than I EVER thought. I'm glad y'all are giving us these interesting "easter eggs" or little bits of knowledge. Very cool. Thanks Hawkeyes! 🙏
@WellHelloSilly no problem there is a lot of movie and real life references in this series. It's a social commentary on the black community and America. Some of the episodes were controversial and TV stations banned them while the show was on air. This was a go to for me back on college. Mainstream America slept on this show. Now people are recognizing it
Ah yes! It sucks that we don't see those two as much as I'd like. They're a couple of idiots that are just too damn silly 😆😅🤣 Thanks for the comment Big! 🙏-M@
@WellHelloSilly also, your welcome! Keep going and unravel the show with the more you watch! Truly a masterpiece of all human nature that were full of.
Here's a trivia of The Boondocks episode A Date With The Health Inspector: Trivia: This is the only episode in which Robert Freeman makes no visual appearance. The episode is most likely a parody of the War on Terror: The Xbox Killer symbolizes al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, and Ed and Rummy symbolize (and the characters themselves based on) former United States President George W. Bush and his Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield. Because they "fit the description" of the Xbox Killer as African Americans, Tom and the black men that were harassed by Ed and Rummy symbolize Arab and Muslim Americans, who have been discriminated against and persecuted by the U.S. government due to being associated with terrorism. The diversion to the gas station represents the Iraq War, with the gas station owner representing Saddam Hussein. During the robbery, Ed and Rummy keep telling the gas station owner to put down a non-existent gun. They also repeatedly warn the police officer in the gas station that the owner has a gun until the officer is actually convinced to believe that he sees the imaginary gun. This situation is a reference to the U.S.'s invasion of Iraq in search of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The "gun" represents WMDs and the police officer represents the United Nations who is persuaded by Ed and Rummy (the U.S. government) of the existence of a gun (WMDs). The drinks that Ed and Rummy try to rob from the store represent the oil that was the basis of a dispute between Iraq and Kuwait at the time. Oil is widely believed to be one of the U.S.'s primary reasons for getting involved in Iraq. The gas station owner at one point says to the men robbing him, "Ed, your father helped me build this store," referring to the late George Bush Sr.'s support of the late Saddam Hussein during the 1980's, including funding and support during the Iran-Iraq War. Ed pointing a gun at the officer and telling him "Who's side you on? Mine or this mfer who's obviously of terroristic descent" refers to George W. Bush rallying the American public to war with a "our side or their side" mindset. The gas station clerk at one point states "You thinking of the Korean shop! North of here!" refers to North Korea actually possessing WMDs, but being ignored by the US in favor of Iraq's alleged WMDs. Huey argues with Ed and Rummy about how the trip to the gas station is an unnecessary distraction on their way to the house of the Xbox Killer, further referencing the controversy of the War in Iraq in regard to the War on Terror. Rummy's surprise when the other gas station workers retaliate with return fire is a reference to the U.S.'s surprise with the unexpected insurgency in Iraq. Huey states that the robbery had nothing to do with the original plan, to which Rummy responds, "you cannot criticize a robbery during the actual robbery, you have to wait 'til the robbery is over." This is a reference to the Iraq War taking precedence over the war in Afghanistan and related protests. The police officer being shot down and being told "You will not die in vain" by Rummy, then "You were not mortally wounded in vain" is symbolic of both the casualties from 9/11 and the Iraq War, with the U.S. government blowing the 9/11 attacks way out of proportion, and telling both their soldiers and the public that the conflict is all for a good cause, despite the frivolity of it. Rummy getting the officer's name wrong and being very dismissive of it is meant to portray the perceived lack of concern from the U.S. government on the troops in Iraq and the casualties of 9/11 and the War on Terror. When the police officer states that he will be okay, this is representative of the U.S. beginning to recover from the attacks, with Ed shouting "Freddie ain't dead, Freddie say bring it on b****!" before opening fire again meant to portray the U.S. government using the recovering U.S. as a gung-ho excuse to provoke further fighting, which resulted in further casualties in Iraq for several years, symbolized by the officer being shot down once again. The gas station owner's mention of "the Korean store" may also be a reference to the nationally known "rooftop Koreans" in the 1992 Rodney King riots when storeowners in Koreatown stood on the roofs of their stores armed with firearms to protect against looters. When they enter the store at the gas station, Rummy tells Ed, "I gotcha back, you watch my front." This is could be a reference to the song "I Gotcha Back" by GZA. The chorus of the song includes the line: "I gotcha back but ya best to watch ya front." This also references a line from the song "Shook Ones, Pt. 2" by rap group Mobb Deep, in which it is used ad-lib by Prodigy. During breakfast at Rummy's house, Ed states "let me get some links with them grits, shi' I'm 's hungry as a mfer!" This is a reference to a conversation between A-Wax (played by MC Eiht) and Chauncy (played by Clifton Powell) in the film Menace II Society. Ed says, "Freddy ain't dead", which references the Curis Mayfield song, "Freddie's Dead". This song is heard in a previous Boondocks episode, "Guess H**'s Coming to Dinner" at the appearance of A Pimp Named Slickback. Rummy and Riley have a verbatim conversation from the film Pulp Fiction. Samuel L. Jackson reprises his own famous conversation from the beginning of the movie when Riley repeatedly says, "What?" in response to Rummy's statements about "known-knowns, known-unknowns, and unknown-unknowns." In Pulp Fiction, nearly the exact same conversation takes place when Jules (Jackson's character) asks a man to describe his boss. Another reference to the film is when Rummy comments on how he would like a "tasty beverage." Tom's first flashback, ColecoVision can be seen connected to his television and an Optimus Prime action figure can be seen in the background. During the shootout in the store, Gin makes a reference to Monty Python and The Holy Grail when he tells the police officer: "You shall not have died in vain!" followed by "You shall not have been mortally wounded in vain!" This exchange is taken from the scene in the film where Lancelot storms a castle in a murderous rampage after his comrade Concord is shot with an arrow. As this was the first season the police weren't intended to be maliciously incompetent yet; just stupid. Considering they arrested Tom without any evidence or DNA connecting him to the Xbox Killer. Not to mention said killer is a pitch black man unlike the self-proclaimed "caramel" Tom; plus dressed like a thug, unlike Tom who is dressed respectably. By the way guys, I forgot to tell y'all about The Boondocks character Gin Rummy: Trivia: The greatest irony is that while Rummy is a terrible strategist, he does have enough common sense to for see what can cause failures and unwanted interruptions; thus he hates modern technology, preferring more personal and analogue methods. The character is apparently intended as a parody of Donald Rumsfeld by similarities in name, appearance, and use of actual quotes. His last name, "Rummy," matches the nickname given to Rumsfeld that was often spoken by President George W. Bush. He claims that he and Ed served in Special Forces (aka the Green Berets). His name is also a reference to the identically named card game. He is one of the three main "wiggers" in the series, with the others being his best friend, Ed Wuncler III, and Cindy McPhearson. He and Ed also frequently refer to each other as "n***a", despite both being white. He has cornrows, similar to the style of Riley's in season one. In many episodes, Rummy drives a black Cadillac Escalade. Despite being one of the most popular characters of the series, he's only appeared in 6 of the total 55 episodes and only appeared once in Season 2. He had no speaking lines in "The Red Ball". Gin saying "ENGLISH MFER!! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!" in A Date with the Health Inspector, is a callback to Samuel Jackson's Role as Jules Winnfield in the 1994 Movie, Pulp Fiction. During the scene where he says the exact same line.
What u may have missed … Went into store with owner lookin like Saddam Hussain RIP (US -> Iraq) … wanted to take something (Beer) … as things escalated they claimed there is a weapon :) (there wasn’t) … ask the cop if he wanted to die then told him u r either with us or against us :) once everybody was on board the whole shootout occurred (war) … thought there was no weapons at all they still came out as heroes …….. Luved it since I first saw it !
Yo - I’ve finally seen your evolution from season 1. I initially caught y’all late in season 3 -it just popped up on feed. You guys jumped from being HIGHLY uncomfortable to mildly by the 4th season. Still funny as hell though. Homeboy Matt’s face season 1 @episode 4 was FUNNIER than the show itself. 😂😂 HILARIOUS.
Funny thing about this episode is alot of serial killers and murderers got away for longer than needed because cops were like "okay lets go to the restaurant before getting to the crime scene im hungry"
@@WellHelloSillyyea the whole episode is a reference to the Iraq war but especially at the store. Them accusing the clerk of having a weapon = America accusing Iraq of having WoMDs…”Ed, your father helped me build this store!” George W . Bush’s dad helping the Iraqis during his term, Ed = Bush Gin Rummy = Donald Rumsfeld. It kinda changed the context of the scene when you realize it lol
OMGOSH! You and others were so right!! We're currently watching it and putting out another episode of that and Season 4 of The Boondocks, tonight! Due to the copyright owners of Season 4 and other shows, we had to move to another site. Thank you so much for watching and laughing with/at us 😂🙏-M@ Join us and many others at the SillieVerse😁 ➡️www.patreon.com/WellHelloSilly/collections
Yeah of course the killer and Tom looked absolutely nothing a like but when it comes to a black suspect they don't give a real description of the suspect they just say " we're looking for an African American suspect between the age of 15-50" they do that to degraded black men of all ages
Ooooh! That makes sense. Thanks Marvylous 😁 BTW, Season 4 below (Per YT blocking per copyright) Thanks for watching with us 🙏🤙-M@ & Ash www.patreon.com/WellHelloSilly
It’s crazy that they didn’t know the other guy was SAMUEL L. JACKSON 😂😂😂😂😂
Especially after the Pulp Fiction reference 😂
Riley falling down the stairs screaming “my shoe” was a reference to Eddie Murphy standup about his Aunt Bunnie falling down the stairs all the time
Oh wow! That's cool. Thanks for sharing Corey 🫶💓-Ash
Samuel L Jackson with the ,"What" scene from Pulp Fiction is CLASSIC💯😂
Exactly 💯
the interrogation being from menace 2 society is hilarious lol

This whole episode is a metaphor for the Iraq War.

watch the live action movie first which the anime is based off of. Both are classic.
They should have made a video game of this series preferably a Street-Fighter type of game.
That would’ve been 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love fact the store robbery is a metaphor for the Iraq. Haha
I thought the plastic on couches was a black thing I'm shook lol
Lol.. Ive seem it.. hilarious!! 😆

My Girlfriend Had The Same Reaction, When She Started Watching The Boondocks 😊
Haha, I'm sure a lot of people had a similar reaction, seeing commercials or whatever back in 2005 😂
Thanks for the comment Otis! 👍
@@WellHelloSilly You're Welcome 🤗
Yeah of course the killer and Tom looked absolutely nothing a like but when it comes to a black suspect they don't give a real description of the suspect they just say " we're looking for an African American suspect between the age of 15-50" they do that to degraded black men of all ages
Charlie murphy and Samuel L jackson are so good together
A full auto pump action shotgun and a pumping an assault rifle 😂
THE HEALTH INSPECTOR 😈
You should do movie reactions as well.
We'd love too, but RUclips would copyright strike it and nobody would see it. Still thinking of ideas. Keep em coming! 🙏👍-M@
@@WellHelloSilly maybe reviews? I know there are some channels that review them but you and your lady could put your own spin on it 🔥

The voice of Gin Rummy is Samuel Jackson…..
It’s ok to not hold back laughing at the racist jokes, laughing at them doesn’t make you seem racist at all
❤ your guys reactions
Thank you so much Moses🙏💓-Ash
@WellHelloSilly of course well deserved
Is it just me or is Edd the 3rd just Slim Shady; and what I mean is the character, not the voice actor
I aas hoping they'd get the point of the episode ,but in terms of geopolitical conflict that was a million years ago .
Check out puppets who kill.
17:30 Is so Meta
