Trivia:

  • “Pause” is a phrase used in the urban community to express an air of awkwardness after a pseudo-homosexual statement is uttered. This is commonly followed by the phrase “No homo”.
  • Uncle Ruckus does not appear in this episode.
  • This episode along with The Story of Jimmy Rebel have been banned from Adult Swim and Hulu. The episode returned for an airing on May 29, 2020 on Adult Swim and the episode is on HBO Max.
    When the episode first aired on Adult Swim, it was rated TV-MA. But when it aired on May 29, 2020, it was re-rated TV-MA-LS. The reason behind this is currently unknown.
  • Controversy
    The similarities between Winston Jerome/Ma Dukes and Tyler Perry/Madea as well as the former’s portrayal towards the end of the episode has been directed to Tyler Perry via his website, e-mails and his Facebook and Twitter pages for comment. Fans of Tyler Perry have brought the episode to Mr. Perry’s attention hoping for comment and in some instances, urging him to sue Aaron McGruder and Cartoon Network. Tyler Perry addressed the controversy and at the same time put to rest rumors someone was fired after the episode aired Article at Shadow And Act. In the article he states he has no plans to sue Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks (likely in referral to Turner Broadcasting, which owns Cartoon Network and TBS, which airs 3 of Perry’s shows) though some readers are skeptical as to whether this is really true. Although Tyler Perry is very familiar with McGruder’s work (and obviously vice versa for Aaron with Tyler’s work), those who are skeptical of Tyler’s statement believe it maybe be a placeholder to an actual pending complaint filed against McGruder.
    The Boondocks creator himself is of course known for controversy. He has a real-life feud with BET, openly criticized George W. Bush and even (reportedly) dissed

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
