White Family Watches The Boondocks - (S2E08) - Reaction 

I am black and I love the dark humor of Uncle Ruckus. The things he says are so racist and outlandish but just so hilarious, funny how that works. It doesn’t affect me because I know it’s just an over exaggerated character with the aim of showing people how ridiculous they sound when they are being racist.😂

As a black person, Uncle ruckus is the one of the funniest on the show. I don’t laugh with him but at him with the ignorant shit he be saying😂

Every character in the boondocks represents someone in real life, and uncle ruckus is the epitome of some black people, both men and women, who hate being black. We understand that the characters are supposed to be metaphors.

Riley is a perfect example of talent wasted because of arrogance 😂😂... You got to love this show❤... Another great reaction ✌️

Uncle Ruckus is hilarious becuase he so over top the racist that u can't take him seriously. Also couple the fact that he is black and it just makes him more of an oxymoron. So we just laugh at him we don't take what he says seriously.

the personna of uncle ruckus is real when it comes to those with self internalized hatred especially those of the older generations but more so on exaggerated side , * not a spoiler but you will learn more of why he is the way he is overtime 👍

Uncle Ruckus is hilarious. Tbh most of us black people are probably pretty desensitized to his type of dark racial humor. And also it helps that the entire show is full of racial satire. With uncle ruckus it’s pretty easy to laugh at his jokes because of how excessively ironic they are. In the words of Grandpa “Ruckus you black as the ace of spades”. The fact that Ruckus doesn’t see the own irony in his racism is outrageously hilarious

The boy who emerges victorious in this episode is based on a real kid. In the face of a losing score and injuries to key players, the team took a leap of faith by putting in a young boy with autism. Astonishingly, he clinched the win, exceeding everyone's expectations. Including those of his own coach. All they knew beforehand was his undeniable passion for the game.

I'm a Black male, and I find Ruckus hilarious because he's clearly an absolute a-hole; if you're of the lighter nation and you're uncomfortable with him, you're on the side of right. His persona shouldn't (and hopefully wouldn't) be allowed or tolerated in real society (even if his ethnicity and viewpoint were reversed). While his self-hate is made for animation and over the top, sadly, there are those in existence (some even prominent) who actually feel the way he does, they just haven't taken it to that extreme. At least, not in public.

I don’t get uncomfortable with what Rukus is saying until I see other people actually agreeing 😂 then I’m like????🤔 Great reaction :)

Tara Strong playing as Cindy was the best thing in the series. She's amazing and very funny😂

Also little Billy is based on a real kid who got hot in a game and hit like 8 threes, it went viral back in like 2004-2005

It’s all good y’all! Uncle ruckus is extreme enough to just be hilarious! Ain’t nothing we haven’t heard before! I enjoy y’all videos and the comedy y’all keep it up!

that music during practice was the music used when basketball games came on tv broadcast on NBC. uncle ruckus with his over the top racism is the point thats why he is funny.

That music was from the NBA on NBC...how long have there been TVs in your area. Are you guys Mormon?

17:38 uncle ruckus makes everybody uncomfortable 😂😂😂 that’s a big part of he’s cult following

When Cindy said "You just mad cuz im stylin on you" was from a battle rap that almost turned deadly

“80’s music” was the NBA on NBC theme (when Jordan was playing in the league.

I’ve watched a few episodes with you both. I think you’re both an awesome couple and I hope you both grow old together.

RIP to john Witherspoon who plays the voice of huey and riley grandfather

Notice that it’s one of the few episodes that Huey actually smiled

As a black guy, Ruckus is the type of guy you'd hate irl but love in a show. The fact that hes so nonsensical, exaggerated and goofy, nobody takes what he says seriously. That just leaves you with a funny ass character, and I think most black folks actually love Ruckus

Yall know the character billy is based on a real autistic kid who came in in the 4th quarter and hit 6 straight 3 pointers in a row. Look it up its an amazing story

Here's a fun fact about this Boondocks episode Ballin': Trivia: The commentator says that the late Kobe Bryant breaks his ankle, but the animation shows him breaking his tibia. This is one of the two only episodes where a smile is seen on Huey's face, after watching his brother make a basket. The first time the Mighty Deers' uniform are seen, it is misspelled "Mighty Dees". Riley winning the 3-Point Shootout without removing his warm-up suit (or his Timbs) could be a reference to Larry Bird doing the same in the 1986 contest. The intro shows the NBA on TNT crew, including longtime white host Ernie Johnson, speaking exclusively in AAVE and frequently using the n-word. The autistic boy in the episode is based off of Jason McElwain, who is a high-functioning autistic American; he came to fame on national news in 2006 when he played for four minutes and nineteen seconds during a high school basketball game and scored twenty points. Riley compares Billy to Book/movie character Forrest Gump, Likely Riley did not see the movie or pay attention to, as failed to take into account Gump despite questionable cognition excelled at virtually everything he set forth to doing. Running, Football, Armed service, heroism, shrimping, ping pong. Billy is played in the movie version of his life by Haley Joel Osment. When Riley finally makes a basket in a game, he does a small victory dance. This is believed to be a reference to NBA Superstar Legend Michael "Air" Jordan. Uncle Ruckus cites Larry Bird and Dirk Nowitzki as two great white basketballers. Billy Matthews is a young boy who has autism, but he is very good at basketball, and he easily beats Riley Freeman and the Timid Deer Ball-A-Holics in the climactic match. He only appears in "Ballin'". Though he's not really an antagonist, he ironically stole Riley's dreams of basketball fame, and he even has a movie made about him starring Haley Joel Osment(ironically that Riley called Billy Forrest Gump, Haley plays the role of Forrest Gump Jr. in 1994 movie called Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks).

Uncle Ruckus makes me uncomfortable, but I do still laugh because he’s just so over-the-top.

cindy went from beating ppl up in the candy bar episode to cooking riley in basketball

14:09 “ love the background 80s motivational music” 😂😂😂 Sir that’s been ESPN‘s theme song since whenever it started lmao.

Your reaction to uncle ruckus is always hilarious 😆

Uncle Ruckus is comedy gold on this show.

There are plenty of Black ppl like Uncle Ruckus who although might not say what he says, don't see Black people as equal or that we somehow are less deserving of anything. And some are famous political talking heads. Black people agree with them all the time. I just laugh. It's no need to be uncomfortable.

Uncle Ruckus represents the portion of black people who have been brain washed into hating themself and the entire black race. also, Tom the neighbor is named Tom for being a so called "Uncle Tom." It refers to a Black person who is seen as subservient to or seeking approval from white people. while both are funny characters, they both represent a different portion of the black community who are not fully comfortable in their own skin caused by the oppression bestowed Apon the black people by white America. This show is legendary.

We don't see a problem with him it's actually funny even though you really have black ppl who think like that but we get it's just for fun while highlighting a social reality within our community but y'all should chill just have fun we all here enjoying your vids

As a black person, Uncle Ruckus honestly my favorite in the whole show. The statements he says are so outrageous and ridiculous that it’s so funny 😂

This Was Bow Wow When He Was In Like Mike

In the black community there is always an uncle rucus we don’t like real life uncle ruckuses. But in the cartoon uncle ruckus is FUNNY!!! Black satire is like that, take serious things and turn them into humour so that they are palatable and easier to digest, converse and face the issue

14:53 the only time Huey smiled in the show as far as I have seen

As a black person who grew up watching the boondocks, Uncle Ruckus is supposed to be an over exaggeration of how ridiculous racist people sound, so it comes off as being funny, and especially since he's black, I think for a black viewer it's more funny than harmful because he's the darkest character on the show. I think within black circles, we tend to say smth off-color or similar to one another to sort of "limit" the amount of hurt it has when someone legitimately would try to hurt us with this type of language, so ultimately I think it's funny and sorta helpful in a weird...messed up way LOL

For those who have wondered about the street name, Timid Deer Lane, it has to do with the city Woodcrest is based on, Columbia, MD. Columbia is a planned city which is divided up into different villages. Each villages streets have names that are derived from various poems and works of art. As a result, Columbia has a reputation for its weird street names across the DMV and Baltimore areas. Here are some examples: Liquid Laughter Lane Apple Blossom Ride Barley Corn Row Five Fingers Way Crazy Quilt Court I'd like to think that Timid Deer Lane is a direct spoof of Sharp Antler, just Sharp Antler. No road, no court, no street or lane. Just Sharp Antler.

Uncle Ruckus is so unruly and we love him 😂

The “background motivational music” was the actual theme for the nba or something like that years ago.

I'm black and uncle ruckus is hilarious, especially in the south every black family got one person that has some opinions that are pretty close haha. I'd recommend Chris rock niggas vs black people, it kinda explains the situation lol

That's NBC basketball theme from the 90s 🎶 Classic moments come back to my memory just hearing that. P.S: Uncle Ruckus is probably the funniest character in the show, it's the "white guilt" that makes y'all feel some kinda way about it which is a good thing, in a way it means you're not racist yourselves... BUT in a nutshell considering the source and the context it's perfectly fine for us as Black viewers

17:30 Well, don't be too surprised... Wikipedia said uncle Ruckus was born in 1935, and he's from the South, so... ;)

First, it's just over the top comedy with what Ruckus is saying. Second, Uncle Ruckus is exactly how some black people feel about black people. It's just shocking because you've never heard things like this come out of a black person's mouth. But you'd be surprised how crazy and reckless some people talk in real life.

As a black woman, I Hate uncle ruckus. I do think he represents black peoples self hatred. Some things I get a chuckle out of, but most of the time I mute him or skip him altogether

Uncle Ruckus is PURE satire, representing an extremely exaggerated type of archetype whose absurdity is so ridiculous, it's hilarious. I would waiver that the consensus in the Black community is that Uncle Ruckus is indeed funny, and should not be taken seriously due to the exaggerated nature of the character.

Y’all should watch Afro Samurai next

Yeah, Ruckus reached cringe fatigue at this point. The dark humor is minstrelsy.

Uncle Rukus says the most outta pocket shit as a black person you either get weak or take notes I do both 😂😂

14:07 actually that was the theme of the NBA on NBC during the 90s

10:00 Ehehehe, so it starts... there's a lot of Uncle Ruckus in this episode! I hope you degusted it all, eheheheheh...!

I love uncle ruckus

I’m black, uncle ruckus is hilarious …he is a favorite lol so over the top racist 😂😂

Black man here. Ruckus is hilarious & definitely the most racist character in cinematic history. Also Haley Joel Osmen is playing the role of the autistic kid in the adaptation.

I’m black and Uncle Ruckus is Dark Humor. I laugh at him all the time because there are some people like this. It’s an over exaggeration! Love your open mindedness though ❤☮️💐🧿

Uncle Ruckus is funny as hell! I'm not offended by him at all.

Uncle Ruckus funny as shit to me I don’t take offense to anything he says personally dude is literally hilarious 😂😂😂

23:10 the censored version was so funny 😂

The autistic kid making all those 3's is a real life event that happened. It's not fiction, it real and both teams were rooting for him with every 3 point shot he made... about 7 or 8 them

Uncle Ruckus Character is hilarious,so couple don't feel funny watching this everything is exaggerated, sit back and laugh

😂😂😂 unkel Ruckus is real nigga gangsta 😂😂

I was blown away when I first heard Ruckus. Then grew to love him. LOL. I showed this to a ex-girlfriend, from Jamaica. And she was offended at first also. Then she got it.

I love Uncle Ruckus being a black viewer lol… I find his attitude to be funny and not harmful… Uncle Ruckus really is top 3 characters in the show humor wise

There are some people that are a lot like uncle ruckus in real life but less direct lmao

I’m black and uncle ruckus is the funniest shit ever like I can’t wait to y’all see the uncle ruckus backstory episode

No! Uncle ruckus does not make us feel uncomfortable..!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m Black and find Uncle Ruckus hilariously 😂😂. His voice actor is talented as hell.

I’m black and I look at Uncle Ruckus as like the black version of Eric Cartman shitty personality of a character but you don’t take them serious as they are “losers of the show” and of course comedy is exaggerated, ruckus is supposedly portrays the “self hated black person” but his jokes and statements and mannerisms is so outlandish and ridiculous you can’t help either laugh or cringe but don’t take it to heart

To sum up Uncle Ruckus..he's old school..so its nothing to us.

I’m black and Uncle Ruckus is so funny he replaced the derogatory phrase, Uncle Tom.

I laugh everytime he's on the screen.

Laugh it’s all funny we know y’all ain’t racist same thing with family guy and South Park and I’m a black male

This is a top 10 episode for me. The dream at the beginning is just too funny with the Inside the NBA guys and players. Ruckus is part of what makes this show gold. Dave Chappelle's great stand-up from the late 90s has a joke thag explains it. He basically said sometimes black people hear something so racist that you don't get mad you just say "wow, that was racist." That's basically Ruckus's entire purpose. One episodes in season 3 that is one of the few that have been banned is a bit uncomfortable but only because he is in rare form with a new character.

17:38 it wouldn't be Uncle Ruckus "no relations" if he didn't do all that but real talk i would hate to meet somebody like him in real life.

I enjoy ruckus . He was beautifully written.

Why are your shorts so short 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂Riley is savage!

I LOVE uncle Ruckus! 😅😁

The way Tom loses his shit at the end always kills me

As a black person, uncle ruckus is the most hilarious. 😂 😂 😂

I remember Umbros ...and now i feel old

As a Black Man, I LOOOOOOOOVE RUCKUS🤣😂😂 His not to be taken serious, he exposes racism. Him being black isn't the point cause he believes his white. So he speaks for racists, it's a Genius Act. So you shouldn't feel uncomfortable at all, it's Comedy. Very Good Comedy.

Before you get to episode 11, you have to know this. 2 episodes (episode 14 and 15) of season 2 were banned from airing. In the original ordering of the season, episode 14 was supposed to be the 4th episode and introduces a backstory to a character that is also featured in episode 11. So if you want to go through the original order (before the episodes got banned and shelved into last episodes), you should watch episode 14 before episode 11

Dude Rukus is fkn hilarious as sht to most black viewers! 😂 I've yet to find a single person, regardless of ethnicity, that doesn't love his character. It's super funny which comes as no surprise to most logical people. Racism is ridiculous enough, and _should_ be laughed at. They flawlessly wrote his character. lol

Ruckus is so over the top that I just find him absolutely hilarious. I'm not bothered at all, because of the meaning behind his character. The main characters all represent a different part of black culture. Huey: The revolutionist. Riley: The wannabe gangsta. Grandad: The older generation that focuses far too much on past accomplishments. Uncle Ruckus and Tom DuBois: They both represent different versions of what some call, "Uncle Toms". One is a black man who just has overt hatred of black people, and the other is a black man who's outright lost his cultural identity. This is another example of how deep/brilliant this show is.

Funnier reaction without the "Uncle Ruckus makes us uncomfortable" virtue signaling

I have to say about uncle ruckus, we find him funny cuz he’s so overtly just racist and just takes it so far but the funny think there’s older black people who damn near like him sometimes. Every so often you’ll meet this ornery person and they hate everyone lol watchin this older I’m like damn bruh calm down lol still funny. Thanks for asking our opinion

Just FYI: That final scene is a movie poster. Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) starring in "Billy Matthews". Great reactions.

Uncle Rukus Is Not Are Favorite Character,Katy Who is White,She Says Uncle Rukus Makes Her Feel Very Uncomfortable & Me To

Yes, it’s funny that they used Haley Joel Osmant’s name because yes it’s supposed to be they’re doing a movie starring him lol And uncle ruckus is one of the characters I love to hate. I can’t stand his ass. Every now and then he’s funny but like I said, I love to hate him and he gets on my nerves. He does too much, but I’m like over him and no one pays his ass mine. I love his family backstory when you get to season three but I’m sure I’m late and you guys have already been there.

@WellHelloSilly Just discovered your channel last night and it’s hilarious! I would love to be your 3rd Person guide who can explain and answer all of your questions when you’re watching

As a black man..I love Uncle..you guys should watch his compilations 😅

Uncle ruckus is a slightly exaggerated version of Clarence Thomas.

That’s not 80’s music. That’s the NBA on NBC every Sunday.

I don't like anything about Uncle Ruckus

18:01 love his character, but I love dark humor 😂😂😂

im a black viewer , this show is how black ppl talk . lol its all fun and humor. unc rukus is crazy , but its black ppl just like him . the is daily talk lol

As a person from the motherland, I love Ruckus.

Can dribble like crazy but couldnt shoot the ball to save ur life that was me as a teen Now im 37 and cant do either of em 😒

No, they made the white kid story into a movie being played by the kid from the sixth sense.
