Are Junior and Bow Creepy Close? - black-ish 

Diane is one of the mean girls... Let's be real after high school, no one would want to be a friend with her...

Man I just love how Diane sets those clear boundaries!

@@alexandramercedes7956 right? If I had a dollar for every time I felt pressured to give my number, gave it, and regretted immediately...

@@angelikapotree2741 imo no she just sets a lot of boundaries but I feel like there are times where she would definitely be difficult

lol. i heard thatt!

Meanwhile up here about to power wash his mother's toe. Mmm mmm mmm *Ruby headshake*

@@iconkid9887 hahaha yeah

@@ambrosiaking941 same lol

😂😂 power wash his momma toes I love how Dre is such a mommas boy but it’s a problem for junior

I know right😂😂😂

Dre's an asshole and a total mama's boy!

@@Neku628 right his momma come before rainbow or his kids it’s kinda cute and funny though 😂😂

@@Neku628 No one gets between a black Man and his black mom. No one

@@Das644 yh it’s bad

Yeah I thought they were gonna take that somewhere but it never did.i was ready

Me too

But is she starting to bleaching her skin.

@@cosbymelo8614 no🤨

@@cosbymelo8614 why the hell would she do that?

The confidence.

Nah a mamas boy is exactly what dre is

Look at whose saying it- Dre and a lady who only eats a grapefruit at brunch, bump them

Exactly If anything, isn’t Jack a mamas boy lowkey. Cause Zoey is 100% a daddy’s girl.

@@rebecca1331 even Jack is a better mamas boy than Dre

!!!!!!!!

Really bad🤣

They are worse!! Lol at least Junior is emotionally intelligent and responsible. Dre is immature and an asshole at times.

@@queendeche4555 most of the time.. Love Ruby!!

They are worse.

Ruby and dre are close But she was tough on him when he was younger. She actually spanked and made him face consequences but also took care of him which is why he takes care of her Junior on the other hand has been spoon fed and got away with stuff. Dre is a mamas boy but ruby didn't let him get away with stuff and even puts him in his place as an adult Obviously she gets under bows skin for fun which is hilarious

'Ruby' is HYSTERICAL!!!!

Right?!?!

Jennifer Howard is a national treasure 😭

@@ambriaashley3383 I'm sure she is. Whoever that is?🤷‍♂️ However, "Ruby" is played by Jennifer Lewis.💁‍♂️

@@dirtbag_8132 I'm sure she just got the surname wrong

All the time

Nahhh Dre ain’t that bad

Cant pls explain this metaphor to me someone anyone plss

@@minxxd The phrase "people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" refers to hypocrisy. Dre is criticizing Bow and Junior close mother & son bond while acting like he's unaware of his own freakish bond with his mother.

Okay

It's the first one. Kids go where they find the most comfort. Jr with Bow and Zoey with Dre🤷‍♂️

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

@@govanjohn There are certain minerals used to make the structures of an egg that are only found in a Hens body. So the chicken came first.

@@anelisajustanelisa236 🤣🤣🤣 well that settles the age old debate! im using this one next time chicken and eggs come up!

@@anelisajustanelisa236 right a baby can’t birth itself

Classy! I love it

Facts

Oh she knows

I'm screaming all while she has a mommas boy THE GALL 😂😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️

And she said that with a the inflection and cadence of a Baptist PREACHER!

That's a lotus birth, I'm pregnant rn and really want to do that! Lol

Do people do this in America or that was just an expression? It's the default in Nigeria.

@@gbaski30 right? i was so shocked when Ruby said that.

That's how dysfunctional families work 🙄...

A husband missing (pop's). Dre been a substitute to his Mama. Bow lacking hubby love, using Junior as her emergency wheel. What a mess 😪...

That's a total different prospective of the character, that actually never entered my mind, and it makes sense.

@@toridavis8335 Given how Dre was when he was a kid, not that hard to believe he was similar to Jr in personality but had to "fit in" in order to make it in Compton growing up and he kinda is resentful about Jr getting to live his best life being a "dork" as Dre sees him, which I'm sure Dre was once seen as before he became how he is today

@@iconkid9887 Definitely. Dre is probably still in that mindset of having to protect yourself and toughen up to get so far ahead, which is why he forces it so much on Junior and ridicules him for "being soft", but what he often forgets is that he had to be tough specifically so his children wouldn't have to be. And I agree, I think Dre is a little resentful -- you only have to look at his relationship with Earl to see it happening all over again.

@@rachelfox8108 Wouldn't be shocked if Earl had to do the same growing up

@@iconkid9887 Considering all the jobs he took, all the things he had to do (including moving to California) just to keep making money and providing for the family, I'm sure he's set the very example Dre has followed ever since, and all so Dre could have the upper middle class dream office job and the suburban life he's now so used to. Earl hustled so Dre wouldn't have to, and yet he brought him up to be tougher, to survive in a country that would prefer his son to be dead or locked up. It's a fascinating cycle going on through the generations, where they're advancing their circumstances so that they can thrive rather than simply survive, and yet still teaching their sons to survive first, because that's what worked for them. Unfortunately, what we're also seeing is that it doesn't give them room to simply be themselves or make room for their emotions. Really, Junior should be commended for being able to keep his softness, since it's the closing off of their emotional inner lives that does men such a disservice. Mentally, Junior is probably the most healthy because he has never been through the stress of Survival. I think it says a lot what the cycles of poverty and discrimination do to men -- especially Black men -- and their mental health, and that's something we all need to recognise and respect. The field of psychiatry needs to catch up to recognise these particular struggles, definitely, but we can all work to make having these conversations with our friends and family as easy and informed as possible. Talking is the first step to better mental health, and that's the first step to not passing our hang ups on to our children.

Somehow this reminded me of girls trip 😂😅😂😂. I just can't look at grapefruit the same 😩😩.

Same i rather be close with my children in a way that we know who’s boss but can still talk to one another in a way where we’re just like friends

Facts idk this episode was lame to me for that plus Olivia's moms one to talk, treat her like an associate

It's generally looked down upon if a son is close to his mother Very few people would say this about a daughter being close to her mum Double standardsb As long as there are healthy boundaries ,no one should have a problem

Facts!

no they don't. they should be close but not that close

They both were terrible

Factsssssssss

@Moyra same here, was wondering if anyone else noticed. 😪

She’s been in her house for a year. Of course she is lighter 🙄

Clear doesn't mean fair

@@bro-ss2eu plus, it is very common for black ppls skin tone to lighten up a bit over time as well, this is perfectly natural🤷‍♀️

I agree to an extent, with a caveat. What Junior has with Bow is a friendship, he can absolutely go about life on his on, and march to the beat of his own drum. Dre however is co-dependent to Ruby. They need each other for survival. I've seen this played out in real life, at home. The Dre/Jr relationship almost feels like someone was spying on us and scripted it.😁

thats the joke

@@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi It's like the people in these comments don't get the joke. 🤦‍♂
