The Boondocks S3 EP8 - Pause
Hi, I'm Missy. Today I'm going to give you the recap of the [Adult Swim] truthful and controversial show, The Boondocks. Since Marisa has dibs on anything and everything anime and stupid crude humor, I will do the truthful and real crap (if we ever find another show like Boston Public again). I will do my best to put my two cents in at least 24 hours from the airing. Now lets get this over with.

Rating: TV-MA
Summary: Granddad gets the opportunity of a lifetime to star in a black production which is a blatant rip-off of the Tyler Perry. Matter of fact, this whole episode is just a big stab at Tyler Perry and all of his works. Get ready for some Madea bashing.
--OPENING--
*It begins with Granddad and the boys watching a show featuring someone who is clearly doing a Madea parody with a man playing a wild-ass old black lady. At least this one wasn't an obese character...from where I was watching anyways.
*Winston Jerome = Tyler Perry
*Granddad is planning on auditioning for a play by Winston Jerome. And apparently Granddad's dream was to become an actor. Even had the audacity to call himself a thespian. Hmm...Marisa is kicking herself right now because of that. Anyways, he tried out at a couple of auditions in his past but has failed.
*Huey thinks it's a bad idea to do it at his age. Riley unenthusiastic tells him to do it before it's too late and it'll be too late REAL soon.
*Granddad says something stupid about giving Jerome everything he wants. Riley then goes off and tells Granddad he's gotta say No Homo otherwise he'd look gay. Back and forth. Back and forth. Moving on.
*Huey gives a recap of how Jerome's plays are. Hit it right on the mark. "I am dark skinned and bald. So I hate you and I hate Jesus." -- Bald headed dude from Law & Order. I just had to take that line out. It was worth it.
*At the auditions, Granddad starts to question things. Guy sitting next to him tells him if they like him in the play, they'll put him in the movie of the play, and if they like him in the movie, they'll put him on the tv show of the movie of the play. Yep, Tyler Perry.
*Winston Jerome comes out and singles Granddad out and asks to speak to him. In his new feature, he's going to have the comical character Ma'Dukes (who is the rip-off of Madea) find a man.
*Granddad starts a cold reading. STOP. Put lotion on him. Man puts lotion on him. Granddad starts again. Says two words. BRILLIANT! He's got the role.
*Jerome says that Jesus comes to him whenever he gets a brilliant idea. And also said that Jesus says to get handsome men with no shirts and to cross-dress. Wow. Gay. And then he shall CRUSH ICE CUBE!!! Dang, you'd think he'd go after Will Smith, but that probably wouldn't happen. Ice Cube got the Are We There Yet projects and whatnot. Okay, Ice Cube it is.
WORST QUESTION IN THE WORLD TO BE ASKED!!!
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
*Jerome starts preaching and makes Granddad accept Christ, and renounce everything Ice Cube related...including Friday.
*Granddad tells the boys and Tom that Jerome is great...not too kooky.
*Riley and Huey read the script and it calls for Granddad to fall in love with Ma'Dukes (i.e. Winston Jerome in a dress). Huey says the script is terrible. ROFL.
*Granddad heads for the compound. Jerome puts on a show. It's like broadway on crack. It's alright to cross-dress for Christ. Oh...LOL, um, run. Granddad, just run. And they just do that for fun.
*Granddad must now stay at the compound until the play is over. And no calls. He calls the boys and tells them that he's gonna be there for two weeks or more. Praise Jesus. Bye.
*Opening prayer. Huh...normally actors only do that during the opening nights. Oh well. Robert just stares at the ladies chests during the prayer.
*Granddad talks to some of the castmates. One of them seems brainwashed. Especially at the end when she says she's gonna get some kool-aid. I can take that two ways, they're either taking a shot at the Jim Jones People's Temple cult or the black stereotype of black people loving kool-aid. Either way.
*Jerome takes Granddad to his study. And shows Granddad camera footage of him looking at women's breasts during the prayer. Jerome promises to give him just that. Granddad wants something in the Alicia Keys category, at least two Beyonce's, something spanish, and a big tit white woman who looks like Linda Carter.
ಠ_ಠ
Oh give me a fucking break.
*Granddad's phone goes off and so does Jerome. He picks up and says don't call again.
*Huey tells Riley that he's in a cult and they must save em.
*Acting process goes on. Winston Jerome has a hissy-fit. He talks to "Jesus" and says the scene would be better if Granddad and Ma'Dukes kiss. Change the script. PRAISE JESUS'S SCRIPT CHANGES! Granddad don't like that shit.
*Jerome takes Granddad to his office again and tells him that he would NEVER kiss a man because it goes against his religion. BUT, the laws of the stage are different so he's faithful to doing the homo-erotic kiss scene. Actors first, heterosexual second.
*Riley and Huey break into the compound. When they came in, Granddad was about to kiss Ma'Dukes and the boys come in. The fight didn't last long since Riley couldn't get a hold on the greasy muscle men.
*Huey hits Granddad and Granddad hits Riley. Granddad knows it's a homo-erotic, Christian, theater cult, but doesn't give a fuck. It gets him into Hollywood and it isn't Scientology. So the boys reach an agreement and let him go on with the play. Granddad continues.
*Two weeks later, the play is up and the boys come. Riley brings a camera...BOOTLEG! Riley laughs. Huey is unamused. The end kiss scene made Riley want to puke. By the end of the play the boys have a look on their face that screams, "What the fuck did I just watch?"
*Granddad leaves the dressing room to meet his adoring groupie fans. They are a bunch of big-ass black women. One of them tackled him to the ground.
*Granddad goes into Jerome's room again. Granddad don't like this shit. Jerome wants him to be in the MOVIE.
*And now...Jerome pulls his pants down and asks to have sex with Granddad. Just to sleep with man.
"Fuck you. Now stick that up your ass...No homo!" -- Granddad
*In the car, Granddad is driving with that big-ass woman and the boys. Riley's playing all the gay parts of Granddad's play and saying the word PAUSE over and over until he's supposed to say NO HOMO.

Wow. Unbelievably funny episode this was. Now I certainly wasn't expecting that from the episode. I thought this was going to be another jab at how wacky cults are. Like with the Davidians in Waco, TX and the Hale-Bop comet cult members and even Jonestown. But thankfully there wasn't a mass suicide or government fuck-ups in this one. This was just fucking nuts with no casualties. And that's what the public would like to see. That and I don't think anyone wants to remember those incidents I spoke of.
Taking a jab at Tyler Perry. Stroke of genius. I mean come on. It's Tyler Perry for Christ sake. This nigga got everything going and yet, I still can't sit through any of his plays, movies, or tv shows. I just can't do it. I just get...so bored so easily with that shit. The thought of making fun of him and his works and characters, I thought they would bother making fun of him but I think at one point I just stopped assuming this was gonna happen and just simply hope that the creators would one day do a Kanye West episode. If ANYONE deserves to do a Kanye West stab fest, it is The Boondocks. Not South Park or The Cleveland Show. But story for another day.
More jabs at poor Ice Cube. I could never renounce him...okay maybe after Barbershop 1 I can. But the Friday movies are timeless.
So next week, apparently Tom takes the boys down to the prison for a scared-straight lesson. You know. Out of control boys go to prison and get yelled at by inmates all day. I just remember seeing Riley, Huey, and even Butch from season 2.
