Boondocks Question. Who was this guy?

[ba'al]

In one of the boondocks episodes, a spy pops out of nowhere and beings talking to Huey and he continues to do so randomly throughout that episode. Did they ever say who he was in the series, officially because in this episode he comes off as a figment of Huey's imagination?

Was purposely left vague for the viewer to decide.

On one hand, Huey was a hella paranoid coli poster in season one. He was right about a lot of shyt, but he extra with shyt...that's why he cools down in later seasons and talk about how he's retired and stuff. Trying to live another life.

On the other hand, its inferred countless times that the government is indeed keeping tabs on him and consider him a threat. During the season 3 obama episode, he is documented with all his past antics that even that dude doing the interview knows.

He was the Feds. Huey was a revolutionary and they were watching him.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

It was his imagination and paranoia talking to him..

Legendary show. Wish it would come back

So much material.

Yeah but idk because how it ended. You see the spy at the end but than Huey rubs his eyes and he disappears. Didn't one episode Huey imagined Ghostface talking to him.

I fukk with Carl/tubesteak and he make funny shyt, but we'll need McGruder back proper if we ever got it back. Became more about outlandish slapstick comedy and lost all the social commentary.

This what I think too but idk because he was on a watch list later in the series. I think the Obama episode.

Yeah. The show lost its soul when he left.

 

[Paper Boi]

he was definitely the feds. it's just a matter of whether he was really there or not.

 

[HiphopRelated]

Agree on the Feds comment. Revolutionaries would have agents assigned to monitor them.

Now it could be Huey's delusions of his own value, but that's neither here nor there

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

McGruder left us hanging.

I think he's been on a watch list since the comic strip.

I feel that scene correlates to Huey's persona.

Yeah man, you're right and at the very end, he says that the spy is a figment of his imagination but the spy denies it.

Which lead me to believe, they where going to write in The Fed agents more to further speculate whether the Feds are real or imaginary.

Yet at the end of the day, I think it again was a glimpse into Huey psyche which makes him believe he is on a watch list.
