On the rare occasion that McGruder isn't busy bashing conservatives, "The Boondocks" can actually be funny.
I don't hold out any hope that he'll stay away from controversy here though.

I know a lot of conservatives who think the Boondocks is funny. (I concur that McGruder tends to lose the humor when he beats the audience over the head with the point.)
Ever hear of a liberal who enjoyed Cox & Forkum?

I'm moderate-conservative, and I enjoy "Boondocks" (although I clearly don't always agree with it). President Bush's "ghetto-fabulous" TV ad targeting black voters was funny.
The best line was in 2000 or so, when MacGruder wrote in a strip that "Bush couldn't even lead OJ to a white woman." Politically incorrect punchline and foul to Bush, but funny.

I'm having a hard time seeing if/how this will work. I mean, how many anti-Conservative jokes can be relayed in a 30-minute stint? We'll see. Agreed, when the work isn't seeped in bitterness and hatress, there's some funny gems in there. The guy's definitely got talent.

The comments are funny.
He slams Blacks who buy into hip-hop silly behaviors more than he's going against conservatives.
And he surely slams liberals as well.

And he surely slams liberals as well.
Because they're not radical enough.

I enjoy reading this comic and thing it will make a very funny show. I always read their comic and was shocked to see this on a adult swim bump.

I never really thought the strip was all that funny, witty or even clever. How hard is it to re-iterate verbage you've already heard? It's funny how Mcgruder makes fun of Bush's ignorance, when he oozes of ignorance himself. Believe me, this guy's head is bigger than the characters on his strip! I hope they cancel his show. As a consolation, they should buy him some humility!
