“The Boondocks” Lost Original FOX Pilot JUST found today!

[classicswim]

 As I await most likely being told by Toonzone that I’m not allowed to discuss this pilot leak - - fuck it.

This is quite the day for adult animation.

I’ve kept my taping of the [as] pilot all these years, fuzzy as it is, and could not imagine anything else other than Garden Party until now.

We are sharing.

[Lost pilot]

In awe within seconds.

Why?

It’s mostly nothing I haven’t already seen, and that’s the point. So many of the littlest jokes carried over to the actual show. Just takes me back.
 

I of course can get the taste of them trying to work around FOX’s horse shit censors. And even so, the vision’s still there.

They had that bit with the stepped on sneakers, R Kelly got his shoutout; a personal favorite I wasn’t expecting was Tom’s “fruity boy/pansie pants” nicknames from Granddad’s Fight. And uh... naked Robert again lol.


We never got the reboot, and for good reason, but getting this leaked to us after twenty years just felt like the proper reunion.

Robert is SO cool in this. He would whoop the boys’ asses as early on as possible with Adult Swim, and this pilot ended with him and the boys playing video games. 

This is such an amazing blueprint and I couldn’t be happier that we just got it. Was never expecting this at all.
