The Boondocks

[imrepairmanmanmanman]

I know by many accounts, the show may be over, but if you have an idea for a story, share it here. I copy/pasted this from another website I posted it on...

Maybe an episode addressing the alleged bias in coverage of missing children in the USA. Dave Chappelle mentioned this in one of his stand up routines, that the mainstream medias' interest might possibly depend on the race or social class of each case. Elizabeth Smart's high profile coverage for nine months until her discovery. Erica Pratt escapes from her kidnappers in less than a day, but her story wasn't as widely broadcast around the country.

A story I'm thinking of is that the four kids (Huey, Riley, Jazmine, Cindy) skip school. Why is the hard part. I couldn't imagine Huey and Cindy sharing a similar reason to skip school. Maybe Riley decides to skip class (he doesn't really need a reason to do so), and he persuades Cindy to do the same. Jazmine reluctantly following along with Cindy out of peer pressure, and Huey follows along after Riley to try to bring him to school on time. In either case, Cindy's absence is immediately noticed, and is broadcast on the local news and a huge search party starts looking for her. Meanwhile Huey, Riley and Jazmine are classified as 'runaways' and the police don't bother to search for them. It's up to Granddad and Tom to find their own kids.

Somehow, the kids get lost in some remote area... woods or something, I don't know. The search party finds them, but in a humorous twist, they only take Cindy back home, leaving the other three in the woods. Soon after, Granddad and Tom find Huey, Riley and Jazmine still in the woods. The only problem is that they too are lost, and don't know the way back to civilization.

Sarah is at home worried, when she hears the news that Cindy has been found. She gets a call from Tom saying that he, Granddad and the other kids are still lost. Tom tried calling the police, but they think he's bull**pickle**ting. Sarah and Cindy alert the police, who only believe them because they're White. So the police find them, bring them back home, and bill them thousands of dollars for the cost of their search and rescue.

We need a episode of uncle ruckus turning on the white man and excepting his own race, untill he remembers why he hates them again.

You know a lot people are talking about how to stop bulling  in schools and starting like campaigns. I  was thinking about this idea for episode for a while and maybe they could do an episode of like a movie parody of The Breakfast Club like they can have all the boondocks kids ( Huey, Riley, Ceaser, Jazmine, Cindy, Butch, Billy Mathews, and Phil) in Saturday detention. Just like the breakfast club movie none of the characters have nothing in common so there in the schools library for like 8 hours  with their bozo principal and they are assigned to do an essay and it's due by the end of the day.  In the middle of the episode kids will try to escape from the school (Just like the movie) and at the end they will learn more about each other (ounce again just like in the movie) which goes back to the bullying  of my stand point is when there talking about how they got into detention.

U have some good ideas but i have to say since they're ending it -- what's the pt.?

[imrepairmanmanmanman]

Tis fun.

I like the Breakfast Club idea, it would be a great way for the kids to learn more about each other. I also have another episode idea: Huey convinces Grandad to enroll him in an exchange student program. He switches places with a student from... Uganda, or Kenya I guess. South Africa even. Huey imagines this as the trip of his dreams, a pilgrimage to the motherland, where he finally has a chance to walk the same lands that his great ancestors did... and just maybe truly discover his roots.

The African student (let's call him Haqim) adjusts well to life in the USA, even though Grandad is hardly accomodating. Riley gets along with him because Haqim doesn't pester Riley with boring political speeches. He even volunteers to do all of Riley's homework and chores. Grandad loves him because he voluntarily mows the lawn and washes the car. In an crazy twist, Haqim sort of becomes like a servant to the household, although in his mind he's just being a good guest. Ruckus thinks that the Freemans traded away Huey for a houseservant. He is pleased. Jazmine even develops an interest in Haqim, because he isn't cynical and cold like Huey, and from the stories he shares of his life back home, Haqim seems exotic.

Meanwhile, life for Huey isn't as grand as he imagined it would be. The town that his host family lives in is very much westernized, much to his dismay. Despite that, Huey doesn't feel at home like he thought he would. The locals see Huey as an American outsider, and not as a distant brother. They are amused at his attempts to fit in by adopting tribal customs in an urban setting. He finds a library in town that has a genealogical database that helps him trace his roots to an small tribe that still exists out in a rural part of the country. Huey begs his host family to take him to visit. Once there, he meets the tribal chief, an incredibly old man (at least 100) who bears a slight resemblance to Grandad. The chief tells Huey of the great great great great uncle who was a gambling addict. The uncle was so proud that he bet his freedom against a white man in a game of cards. And lost. Huey is ashamed of his history and decides he's had enough with the exchange student program.

He comes back home early, and pissed off for the most part. Huey is aborred at the sight of Haqim being used as a slave to Riley and Grandad. And Jazmine swooning over Haqim?! He won't admit it, but it makes him jealous. Huey puts a stop to all the madness, and insists that Haqim return back to his country before he gets too stupid from overexposure to US culture.

its a shame they're ending the best black tv show this earth could ever see why is it that all the black shows are being cancled and the white shows are popping up like daisies

[imrepairmanmanmanman]

@schmokey John Witherspoon announced that a fourth season is in the works, with 20 episodes this time instead of the standard 15. There's a thread like three below this one with a link to him talking about it.

[schmokey]

thats so awesome im glad that shows to good to be cancled like that

[MilkLover]

I already suggested this one, and wouldn't at all be surprised if they use it: A sequel to "The Red Ball", where the Woodcrest residents play the return kickball leg in China.

And, nothing specific here, but please, please PLEASE use Cesar this season!

[imrepairmanmanmanman]

I like The Red Ball II idea. And not to hijack your idea, but maybe Huey trains Riley to become a better kickball player, while drawing references to 2010's Karate Kid remake? A lot of people have noted that Riley resembles Jaden Smith. I also agree that we need Caesar. How would they introduce him though? Would they feature him in an episode like how they did with Cindy? Or would he just show up during an episode, with everyone already knowing who he is?

Also, what ideas do any of you have for Stinkmeaner 4? You know it's going to happen.

[schmokey]

my idea about stinkmeaner is that he should rise from the dead but in another body and nobody figures out its him but huey and huey tries to convince everyone but no one listens and huey ends up fighting him and sending him back to hell

They already did that. It was Stinkmeaner 2.

[schmokey]

ok how bout doing one where huey actually falls for a girl and instead of thinking of ways to bring the white people down he tries to think of ways to get her to go out with him

Better.

I don't like this idea, mind you, and I hope the producers don't use it, but at least you're thinking of new ideas.

[schmokey]

well thank you

[Richardog]

how bout apimpnamedslickback and Rev.Goodlov and maybe thre return of ol'stinkmeaner.

[Gangstashinchan]

and episode when hue trains rilesy every kung fu movew he knows it would make every fight so the next time they fight stinkmeaners agin they'll havve that doutle team advantage

[FinShaggy]

Huey, and Uncle Rukus as the core of a team that wants to take down Oprah, Obama, and all them. Or Kadhafi and his 30 bitty crew (He had like 30 armed women as body guards)
Riley and Ed Wuncler workin as a strike force.
Grandad chills at home, and ends up at gun point or somethin. Maybe ends up doing something with Tom.
And Mr. Wuncler secretly doing...something.

[mmmagus1]

I got an idea for an episode. It could be about that Amber Cole girl and how they're making fun of her on Youtube. It's all they were talking about in school today especially in 1st period. In 1st period, they were playing the song about Amber on Youtube out loud and everyone in the room heard it. Now THAT would be perfect for a Boondocks episode. After all, this is the same show that made fun of R. Kelly and his trial. This idea would be right up their alley.

[ForeverHate]

Well we can have one of the characters go back in time with a robot driving instructor whose accompanied by his best friend who's a pie..... No, but srsly: I'd like to see a episode that includes Bomani Armah and the overall shows themes as to how they think the social status of black men in America seems to be declining due to social stereotyping and social pressure. Also was there a episode already where they mentioned that black women are marrying less and less?

[sodakandy]

Huey is a fan of Star Wars so how about a Halloween episode where there's a Halloween party at Huey and Rileys school, and Huey is Luke Skywalker and Jazmine is princess Layah

[eddiehitler]

Five words:

Huey teaches Jazmine kung fu.

He also teaches her how to channel her anxiety into battle rage. You could also show Tom having to cope with his daughter's perceived loss of innocence.

[imrepairmanmanmanman]

Huey seems more of a Yoda type, personality-wise. Riley's the ambitious one.

[sodakandy]

LOL!!! I don't   really know about Star Wars, I just suggested it because I knew Huey was a fan

[imrepairmanmanmanman]

Since today is the 26th of December, I thought it would be appropiate.

They already did a Christmas episode, how about a Kwanzaa one? It would be funny if it was inspired by the running gag in the comic strip. Huey would always forget to celebrate Kwanzaa the day after Christmas until Caesar would remind him. Tom decides to celebrate Kwanzaa with Jazmine and Sara, and convinces Grandad to do the same. Grandad agrees, mainly because he doesn't want to spend a whole bunch of money on gifts that Huey and Riley will probably destroy within a few days. The next week they have to dedicate each day to one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa:

-Umoja (Unity)

-Kujichagulia (Self Determination)

-Ujima (Collective work and responsibility)

-Ujamaa (Cooperative economics)

-Nia (Purpose)

-Kuumba (Creativity)

-Imani (Faith)

Huey jumps at the opportunity to celebrate Kwanzaa, hoping that it will make him a stronger person, and that the family will be closer as a result. Grandad doesn't really care for it, and is only doing it to save money. Riley of course hates it, because he missed out on all the stuff that SANTA STILLS OWES HIM!

Ruckus will drop in occasionally for some one-liners.
