    Like flipping through a flip book, drawn by a 4 yr old cat on meth, and it lost 90% of its' pages.. followed by a racially charged supposed-joke that the character laugh off themselves so they can act like whatever was said was a joke.. when they can't make jokes...they make angry bitter comments and then laugh about it to hide their fear of being realized. ..then nextscene... followed by racially charged joke..rinse, repeat. -- I think the writers are about as funny as a drunk's vomit on a Royal Baby. - If I was 8 years old, I'd find it funny.. but it's on late and 8 yr olds are asleep.. So, what's the deal ? -- 0 out of 5 - bad writing 0 out of 5 - animation and drawing 0 out of 5 - everything .. terrible hot mess that is only "hip/happening/etc" because of shock jokes..like saying "birthday cake p*ssy". See?..not funny. .. that's the whole show,.. really badly written not funny no point jokes. Like 8 yr olds run CC. -------- *Shrugs*

    Most of the reviews here that are bad are likely from Trump voters who, when they hear "White Sale", think that there's a sale at the KKK store for new Klan robes.This show is actually very funny. Of course, some of the language is going to be edgy, like when a character says "My nig." (Not once have I heard "nigger".), but that's because most of America did not grow up in the inner city/urban areas such as South Central or Watts or Carson in Los Angeles where such phrases are commonplace.Every character is a satire of other stereotypes in the real world.For instance, "Malik" who is a grade-schooler is your Malcolm-X / Spike Lee / Michael Evans character from Good Times taken up a notch. He's the future Black Panther who rides a Big Wheel and chases the ice cream man's truck."Milk" is a "wigger". His mom is drug-taking, Botox-injecting, breast- implanted pleasant blonde bimbo. His Jewish step-father is totally square and apparently a closet racist.If you experienced all of the Norman Lear comedies in the 1970s and throw in What's Happening meets early South Park, you'll have a good idea of what this show is about.It is funny on ethnic satire grounds, but some things are just funny no matter what your ethnicity. Milk's mother "popping a tire" in her lips and having to get a Botox injection to recover her smile is one such example. Another example is when Milk's dog steals Milk's blow-up doll for masturbation and Jamal sees the dog with the doll and says "It looks like Milk's boo is going to get it doggie-style."Those bitching about poor animation don't get it that this is the intent.Seriously, this is a very good show. I haven't laughed this hard since the Medicinal Fried Chicken episode of the once-funny South Park in the scene in which all the men have testicular cancer and stoned on weed are bouncing around the town on their swollen testicles like Hippity Hops.

    These bad ratings are not a true reflection of the new adult series.I loved the first episode of the series. It was absolutely hilarious. I am currently anticipating the next episode. Hope it is released as soon as possible.Since the cancellation of Boondocks, TV has starved us of sincere portrayal of racial relations.The adult cartoon series captures the lives of three youths and the intricacies of racial relations.The excellent satirical portrayal of stereotypical patterns gives us a rather educated approach to life in America.I strongly believe that it takes a lot of wit and creativity to put out this cartoon comedy series that features buffoonery and intelligence.

    This is honestly the worst show I've seen on Comedy Central. Another reviewer on IMDb called this show "The Nutshack for black people." He's not wrong.After watching the first few episodes of this show, I went online and checked the reviews. The few I found said this show was pretty average. While they thought the first episodes weren't very funny, they compared it to South Park and The Simpsons, which both didn't become great until a season or two in.Once you see the first few minutes of any episode, you will realize why that comparison doesn't work.I do agree that The Simpsons and South Park didn't hit their stride until the second season. The classic episodes of The Simpsons started being made in the second season, and South Park in season four. But there's one big difference between this show and those two.SOUTH PARK AND THE SIMPSONS WERE ACTUALLY GOOD.Both shows were funny from the start, and even if you don't think that, you really can't deny that they were both groundbreaking (The Simpsons for being one of the first adult animated shows, and South Park for saying the B word).This show isn't funny. None of the jokes are particularly clever, relying mostly on stereotype humor and saying the N word. It's raunchy and in bad taste for the sake of being raunchy and in bad taste. It's closer comparison, South Park, usually uses its raunchiness to illustrate a point. South Park is satirical. This show is not.Another reason I think this is the closer comparison to South Park is that it's art style is purposefully bad. But unlike South Park, which uses it's art style to have a unique, stop-animation feel and to get episodes out quicker, this show looks like it was drawn by a toddler with sharpies and is so dated that it could be put out anytime within the next thirty years and still be equally as timely.This show might have been ground-breaking if it had come out before South Park, but it still probably wouldn't have the same appeal. I will say that you don't need to be original or groundbreaking to be good, you just need to be funny.And that's the problem. It's just not funny.
