I was a lil late catching up on my weekly dose of Boondocks this week but couldn’t help but hear the buzz about how Aaron McGruder ‘went in” on Tyler Perry.
Perry, who’s caught heat over the years from the likes of Spike Lee and Dr. Cornel West, now faces the hip-hop heads with McGruder’s take on his chitlin circuit gospel plays, which he describes as “…a homo-erotic christian theatre cult.”
McGruder creates a dancing “Ma Duke” character, who was definitely a parody of Madea…
In “Pause,” an episode written by McGruder, a thinly veiled version of Perry (Winston Jerome) is portrayed as a closeted, cross-dressing cult leader whose love of the Christian faith is a mask for his true sexuality. There’s definitely some classic quotes in the episode, like Riley’s take on “no-homo:”
“How I know you not homo unless you say ‘no homo’?”
And while the “Winston Jerome” character bears little physical resemblance to Perry, the reference is obvious…
In case you missed it:
The Jerome character wears a pink sweater, is surrounded by bare-chested muscular men and constantly proclaims his love of Jesus Christ as he attempts to seduce Granddad (John Witherspoon), the guardian of Huey and Riley Freeman, at the center of the series.
Granddad auditioned for a part in Jerome’s new play, “Ma Duke Finds Herself a Man” and ends up getting the part as Ma Duke’s love interest.
All I know is… I haven’t laughed this hard since the Kanye “Gay Fish” Southpark episode. *BRAVO!*

I’ve never thought that Tyler Perry was gay and I still don’t. But, if he is, so what? Everyone is on this “NOH8″ campaign. AND being homeless will make ANYONE constantly proclaim their love of Jesus! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh… If I were homeless and became a millionaire… JESUS ALL DAY!!!!!!!

I love the boondocks but this s*hit wasn’t funny. Next
It was as vulgar as a Richard Pryor concert!
How could that show degrade there own successful people…Its sad
As much as I am a fan of The Boondocks AND Tyler Perry, this was corny.
Mr. McGruder went hard.
**PAUSE** @Attorneymom
I’m with everyone else,,,,CORN-NEEEEEEEEEEE! LOL Wasn’t funny @ all!
This is the only site where people in the comments section do not see what was done in this episode. I applaud this episode and somebody putting Tyler out there for his true self. Ive never liked Tyler. I cant support a black man constantly making the same movies about weak black women getting done bad my black men and the only way she can heal is to fall into the arms of another man. blah! Team Boondocks all day!
That episode was funny as hell, and on the money I might add. All you holier than thou’s need to see the light.

This makes you ask the question how far is to far, it’s one funny when you think about how it’s unacceptable in one Genre and not in another. It’s a version of Black on Black crime, but if you look at the bigger picture…it’s just using each other for media, entertainment, & press. The whole point was said best, by saying "No HATE" just be real. Bamboozeled 101
BRM
It’s comedy for crying out loud! You don’t gripe when the white man talk sh*t about us! They money any way possible degarading us! Shut the fu*k up – PAUSE beitch!! Stop hating on Mr. McGruder! He is doing what it takes to make money!
This was not funny and demonstrates that we have no loyalty to each other as people. The whole thing was ugly and unnecessary. Black folks use to know how to keep house business to themselves, especially when it would harm or hurt … I don’t like seeing Black folks degrade each other for a dollar……..
That episode was funny as shit!
There are a bunch of TYLER PERRY groupies on this site! This is the only site on the internet posting comments that this episode isn’t funny….. when ya’ll know DAMN WELL its HILARIOUS! Ya’ll ain’t foolin’ nobody. Go pop in your DVD of "Why Did I Get Married", and jack off to it…. NO HOMO.
The average brain-washed television watcher – and definitely your average TYLER PERRY FAN, is not going to understand what this episode is truly saying…
In fact, I think this episode was for TRUE CHRISTIANS before anyone else.
I don’t consider myself a JESUS FREAK, but I am definitely spiritual and Jesus is my Lord and Savior. When I watched this for the 1st time, it struck a "spiritual" cord with me.
I looked at how dude was USING JESUS as a "producing partner", just as the dialogue stated…and how freakin’ DECEPTIVE AND EVIL that is!!!
The GAY part…. clearly dude is gay. Everyone in HOLLYWOOD knows dude is gay. So that was a given. No need to dwell on it. And if you have traditional Christian beliefs, As McGruder seems to have, you think that’s wrong anyway…. NEXT!
The bible says "what’s done in the dark shall come to the light". Maybe this is the start of God exposing HYPOCRITES AND LIARS for who and what they truly are. God doesn’t want His people deceived, and if you ask me, TP’s rise to the top was a "little fast"….. wonder what favors he had to cash in to get Hollywood to finally notice him. A BOYFRIEND IN THE INDUSTRY PERHAPS? (at least at that time – probably not needed anymore.)
Straight up – to me – this episode may as well have been a SERMON!
All I know is all of you should jump on the band wagon of Tyler producing Invisible Life written by E. Lynn Harris. He won’t touch it because I know he’s afraid of it but I feel it would be a money maker for him seeing as this subject matter is soooooo important.

I figured that Aaron MC Gruder hated Black Women.
I laughed so hard a little shot of pee came out! This was SO spot-on. Tyler Perry is nothing but a pimp. At the very least, what he is doing is nothing but black-on-black crime. His plays are coonish and his minstrel movies are no different than Willie Best and Stepin Fetchit’s. A cross-dressing child of God? Nig-grow please! How can he call himself a Christian and give up booty at the same time? You think he personally picked that Old Spice cat for his acting talent? Of course the actors in his movies will get offended when they watch this episode. They can’t work anywhere else and want to stay paid! Thanks Tyler for sustaining all the great black media stereotypes: The weak, whiny, "can’t-find-a-man" sister; the trifling, two-timing male black lout; the ignorant, loud, obese, gat-totin’ black female senior citizen. And thank YOU Aaron McGruder for telling it like it is. Thanks for showing how far black folk will bend over backwards–and forwards–to "make it" in Hollyweird. The truth only hurts the guilty.
Hi my name is arthur motley and i definitely had to leave a comment complimenting this site, this was a true inspiration to me, being that i love to write and i love to gossip…it makes me a cool blogger, and after reading your blog and your site it helped me to sharpen my reporting skills and am trying to take that into my website, its not as "together" as this site yet but i mean you have to start somewhere…i would love any advice you guys could give me, and continue to do GREAT work
Omg… this show is truly a sermon, but which minister would preach it? Afterall, this is how alot of pastors are coercing other young ministers into homosexuality. I know it from experience. I had a minister I was dating tell me exactly this: a pastor would get them to into his chambers and tell them all kind of nonsense as depicting in the cartoon. It took me awhile to gather that he had began partaking in the same behavior. Men on the down low ladies are out there running rampate. It is scarier than h— itself. I went to an extreme to find out if he was being with men as well as me, not only did i find out he was on the down low, but he was married, as well. When I tell you I went to an extreme, I mean I I found out he was actually gay, and uses women for money and as a front.

This is total blasphamey there ain’t anything funny about Jesus telling anyone to dress up like a lady no more Bondocks 4 me this was in bad taste to say the least and I draw the line when it comes to Jesus ain’t nothing funny about the life of a Sinner in Sin!!!!
I THINK ALL YALL WHO IS UP HEA PUTTIN TYLER PERRY DOWN ARE CHILDISH!!!!!!!!!!!! err tyme yalll see sumbdy doin’ gud yall always putin sumbody down !!! and yall think that episode was funnie? wow!! so imature of yall……i think that tyler perry shud jst let this go one ear and out of the other because this is so silly and STUPID!!!!! HE NOE HE NOT GAY AND YALL DO TOO!!!
Reading your comments I realize that Tyler Perry has haters just like anyone else doing something positive. Leave it up to sorry ass people to have something stupid to say. Don’t you realize that your comments don’t make or break that man. Mind your business and pay some attention to the stories that this man is telling maybe you can laugh to keep from crying sometimes. Nobody on here is without flaw and EVERYBODY has been through something so lets stop fronting people. Grow up and get your weight up before you talk shit about somebody that’s doing something positive with their life instead of getting everybody pregnant, going to jail, beating women and running from child support.

This is stupid, how come white ppl don’t degrad each other for a laugh. Only black ppl degrad each other. Y’all say he’s gay because he dress in women’s clothes. FOR GOD SAKES MAN! WHAT ABOUT MARTIN LAWERENCE, JAMIE FOXX, JOHN TRAVOLTA, ROBIN WILLIAMS, GOT DAMN EDDIE MURPHY! They all dress in female’s clothes and that’s the fact. Why do we always choose to tear our own race down for a laugh? Why not tear the other race down? Huh? No Black ppl, we are the only set of ppl that do this to each other. You can be funny with out this.
haha this episode was hilarious, and there is a didactic meaning behind the story than just the obvious. most of the boondock episodes have been like that and still are. those of you who don’t notice it or who aren’t even aware of it are ignorant. educate yourselves on what’s going on in the world and around you, and you’ll see what i mean.
OMG! THAT EPISODE WAS HILARIOUS! I LOVE ME SOME TYLER PERRY BUTTTTTTT……THIS ISH WAS FUNNY AS HELL!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"CAN I PLEASE HAVE SOME A$$????" LMFAO
Aye first off, reading a lot of the negative comments I see a lot of ya’ll talking about this episode about black on black and tearing each other down and seem to forget that mista uncle ruckus (no relation) has been doin it since season 1! Bet ya’ll was laughin at that tho. But because they get on ya boy NOW its wrong to tear black people down? Ya’ll don’t see the big picture. No its not funny to have Jesus portrayed as an accessory to gayness, BUT that’s exactly what tyler perry is making Him out to be. The bible says plainly that a man should not wear womens garments and also frowns on homosexuality (sodom and gomorrah). So him trying to make it seem as if God told him to do this makes me question what God he’s talkin bout cuz it aint the God of the Bible obviously. So yea this episode was def on point. The fact that I bet most of the hate is comin from folk who have watched boondocks all along is super corny and shows how fake ya’ll really are. Boondocks been inyaface since day one. NOW u wanna find something wrong with it? Go watch oprah or something smh. Boondocks is too real for ya’ll obviously…very vulgar, but very true (to a point).
That episode of Boondocks was one of the best! It was funny and dead on truth. Tyler’s movies are always about some woman who is married to a dark skinned no good man and then is saved by some light skinned buff man. That’s the first thing that’s wrong with tyler movies. Secondly it does seem pretty gay and against God for a man to dress up as a woman. I’m not hating on Tyler Perry’s movies (I watch them) but I’m not hating on The Boondocks either (Watch this too). I’m also a Christian and this episode didnt offend me one bit. It was so true to how his movies are and how he seems to be.Thirdly, Its a show known for making fun of other things and people. Its just like SNL or Mad TV or any comedy show. People are reading way too much into it.
Hello, Great reference to SNL & MadTV; also many did not like In Livin’ Color…and, now the episodes are classics.
Whoever thinks this episode was not funny or just plain disrespectful to Tyler Fairy is just a coon. As a black person to not find Tyler Fairy’s work as total bafoonery and pure niggatry is a blind fool. This dude take blacks back to the days of whips,chains and nooses. I say burn this nigga!!!!!!!
hahahhahahahahaahhahaha the hoe gay
