5. Boondocks
I had intended to run this list down going from least offensive to most, and have done it that way. But it was not until I was over halfway through that I noticed that the first seven were all sitcoms with real actors, while the final five (spoiler alert) are all animated. I guess it goes to show that a team of writers can get far more creative and edgy with cartoons than the alternative.
Huey, Riley and Grandad Freeman were the main characters of this sometimes painfully funny show and poked fun at everything from the Civil Rights Movement to the 9/11 Terrorist attacks. It seemed like over the course of the show’s four seasons, an episode rarely went by without some prominent figure objecting to the ongoing use of the “N-bomb” or ridiculing political figures, such as Martin Luther King in January, 2006.
