Boondocks- Medicine In Your Candy

The Boondocks is running its third and final season on Adult Swim. All three seasons have been filled with hilarious content laced with a dosage of truth.

Started by Aaron McGruder as a comic strip inside his alma maters' university, "The Boondocks" was a way to tell the truth about society while hiding it behind humor. As a popular saying goes "best way to give a child medicine is by hiding it in his candy". McGruder does this perfectly as he mixes in big issues in society (ex. like America's debt to China) into a hilarious premise (dodgeball game; US wins and debt is wiped away). The third season has been nothing short of amazing how the mix between funny and realness is perfected. The latest episode (see below) shows the absurdity African-Americans must deal with in "Hollywood". The episode parodies Tyler Perry and his famous character "Madea".
