He then goes after Grandad and smashes into the bathroom door using an axe. He beats him up for a while until Huey and Riley come. Huey tells Stinkmeaner to go back to hell, and he replies, “Oh, yeah! I’m going back, and I’m taking you with me on the ass kicking express. Toot, Toot! All Aboard! Stinkmeaner is beating up all 3 of them. He knocks out Huey and Riley and tries to strangle Grandad, but Riley wakes up and smashes 3 vases over his head. They tie him up to Riley’s bed and he complains saying, “Why the possesed n***a got to sleep in my bed?!” Grandad goes on his date at his house and Stinkmeaner tells the girl that Grandad is a hermaphrodite. The girl walks out and says, “It’s not that you have a possesed man in your house, it’s the fact that you lied about it” (weird isn’t it). They call Uncle Ruckus to perform exorcism (while Ruckus rambles on about his racist comments). It doesn’t work, so Ghostface Killer (as a ghost) appears to Huey for the 2nd time and says “I can’t believe you haven’t figured this out yet! Peace.” Huey ralizes that only peace can stop Stinkmeaner. After Huey shows Stinkmeaner that he and Uncle Ruckus are alike, Stinkmeaner goes back to hell and Tom turns back to normal. He asks, “Why am I in Riley’s bed?”, and Riley complains, “You know, dats a real good question. Out of all the beds in the house, the possesed n***a got to sleep in my bed!!”

Recap:

To Snitch or Not to Snitch… Riley is faced with the decision regarding a crime he witnessed or keeping it real and not talking to the police.

‘Thank You for Not Snitching’. Tackles the whole ‘Stop Snitching’ campaign, this episode examines what happens when Riley the Street Soldier witnesses a crime and faces the dilemma of snitching or not. As an African-American male who loves Hip Hop culture, Riley represents the lower end of the hip hop scale, the keepin’ it real, bust your gat and gettin’ hoes, but he’s my favorite character because even though he’s misguided, he’s hilariously sincere about the way he feels and stands up for it. When snitching hits close to home Riley has to choose between the code of the streets and the code of the house, does he keep it real? As usual bringing the comedy as well is Uncle Ruckus who provides his different perspective of things. One scene provides a funny cinema quote in the form of a guest appearance by actor Bill Duke. But all the laughs are made possible by our friends Ed Wuncler the Third and Gin Rummy who as usual create havoc and come out unscathed while bantering in their Pulp Fiction dialogue.

Thank You for Not Snitching is well written and funny. The Boondocks is the best place for laughs now that our favorite comedian can no longer been seen providing fresh material on a weekly basis. Hopefully Aaron McGruder can continue providing the laughs for years to come!

Quotes:

Jazmine: Um, may I sit over here next to Riley? what are you guys talking about? Are you talking about who’s doing the break-ins? If you know, you can tell me, I wont tell ANYBODY.

Huey: Jasmine, are you wearing a wire?
Jasmine: (screams and runs away) Code blue! Code blue!

Ed and Rummy: Thank you for not snitching! You stupid motherfucker.

In comes Usher. Sarah, for the first time that night, suddenly perks up, fixing her make up and in a flirtatious manner, waves Usher over and gets his attention. Upon seeing Sarah smile, Tom begins to sing the song “Sarah Smile”. She’s obviously embarrassed and tries to get him to cease but alas, can not.

However, when Usher comes over to talk, he sings the exact same song. Sarah swoons, complete with everyone giving him a standing ovation, making Tom instantly feel bad.

Sarah then spends the rest of the night speaking with Usher–right in front of Tom, completely ignoring him. They discuss this incident on the way home and angry, Sarah gets out of the car and walks home.

Tom goes to the Freeman’s to get advice on what to do. This, however, gets Tom kicked out of the house and he and Sarah split up. He becomes a wreck and ironically, sings an Usher song to go with his feelings.

He then gets advice from everyone else, most of which isn’t helpful at all (Hue simply says that statistically speaking, the marriage was doomed anyway). He speaks with Jasmine, trying to apparently explain whats going on so that she won’t be upset or worried but it’s more than obvious she rather likes the idea of Usher being her new daddy–even for a little while, which in turn, makes Tom feel worse. (She even goes as far as to lightly persuade him to stay at the Freeman’s insisting the room is nice.)

Grandpa wants him out of the house, so he hires (with Tom’s credit card) A Pimp Named Slickback to assist.

Pimp Named Slickback pretty much ask Tom about Sarah in his limo and through a series of sequences, it’s made clear that while Tom thinks everything is great, Sarah is very unhappy or bored.

He tries to, for lack of a better word, how to treat women like a pimp might. (Complete with a scene where Tom role plays with one of his hoes.)

When Tom finds out that Sarah is meeting up with Usher soon, he decides to go and bust up the little party, APNSB assisting and going with him, along with the hoe that was helping them.

He screams at Sarah, calling her the B word and telling her to get in the car, to which she doesn’t take seriously at first and then seems outright confused on why he’s acting this way.

But when it comes time to ‘put a b in their place’–in other words smacking them around–he hits Usher instead, insisting that Usher can’t have his wife.

…Only to learn that the reason why she was there was so that Jasmine could meet Usher, who proceeds to blow the entire thing out of proportion. (Complete with accusing Tom of trying to assassinate Usher). Usher and the two body with him, then proceed to beat the crap out of Tom, with Sarah insisting that they stop and not hurt–and Jasmine still apologizing and fretting over Usher even though her father is getting beat down.

Granddad, Huey, Riley and Jazmine must avoid guards after they sneak in to a cinema to watch Soul Plane 2: The Blackjacking.

Quotes:

Uncle Rukus: I’ve been waiting on this day since your little up-ity ass came into town.

Uncle Ruckus: Oh, I see. Just because your skin is light, bright and two shades from being white, you think you’re too good to butter your own popcorn. Well you’re wrong, Lando Calrissian.

Huey: Robert Jebediah Freeman had sworn a lifetime intifada against the movie theater industry for exorbitant prices and poor customer service, which, interestingly enough, did not stop him from going to see movies.

Granddad: What’s wrong with you?
Huey: I don’t wanna go to the movie.
Granddad: Why not?
Huey: I don’t ever wanna go to the movies with you again! Not after what happened last time!
Granddad: What happened last time?
Huey: We got arrested and shot at!
Granddad: Nah, racism.

Jasmine: Daddy says I can go to the movies, but he said I’m not allowed see Soul Plane.
Huey: Good, you don’t wanna go to the movies with him. He’s crazy!
Granddad: Hush! (to Jasmine) Can’t see Soul Plane? Why little baby?
Jasmine: Because of the types of stereos or something.
Granddad: Types of stereos? Oh, no, no, no baby doll. This here’s a good theatre, they have THX. (Granddad mimics the THX hum)
Huey: She means Stereotypes.
Granddad: Stereotypes? In Soul Plane? That’s nonsense!

Granddad: How about that? Another victory for the common man over corporate greed!
Huey: You’re not advancing any struggle by bein’ cheap, Granddad.
Granddad: I’ll advance my belt on your behind if you don’t shut your ass!

Riley: Boo! Hey, get to the flick!

(Huey sits next to Riley in the theatre)
Riley: Ewwwwwww.
(Riley moves to another seat)
Riley: Nigger, you gay.

Hijacker: It very important this plane leave on time!
Monique: (waving Hijacker’s breath away) Damn! Now are you yelling at me or shitting at me?!

Granddad: Large freshly popped popcorn please, and lots of butter.
Guy at concession stand: Anything else?
Granddad: I asked for butter on it.
Guy at concession stand: Butter’s over there.
Granddad: I don’t want to put the butter on it! Why can’t you do it?
Guy at concession stand: You’re supposed to put the butter on it.
Granddad: I don’t want to put the butter on it! I’m already paying 20 dollars for this bullshit popcorn, I will not demean my self by putting butter on popcorn!
Guy at concession stand: Why? It’s really easy.
Granddad: Why? Because I don’t work at the movie theater, that’s why!
Guy at concession stand: You’re supposed to put the butter on it.
Granddad: If I go to Burger King, and order a cheeseburger, they don’t make me put the cheese on it, do they, Goddammit?!
