Comedian Tracy Morgan once said that if a joke wasn’t offensive then it probably wasn’t funny. If that is the case then Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks is one of the funniest characters created in recent times.

The self-hating janitor/valet/movie theater usher has said things about his own people that would make even the staunchest Klansman think he’s slacking. But somehow Ruckus’ unrestrained racism makes us laugh more than anyone on the show.

With the TV adaptation of Aaron McGruders’ classic comic strip now in its final season we wanted to look back at some of the most racist and outrageous moments from Uncle Ruckus.

Uncle Ruckus On Black Frats

Episode: “The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show”

Given a forum to speak his mind by BET Ruckus targets Blacks who go to college.

What do niggas do in college anyway? You ever see these nigga fraternities? Black Fraterniites should have an African name: Boogedy, Boogedy Boogedy. I gotta Black fraternity for you, it’s called prison. Jail Phi Jail, nigga. You know!”

Praise White Jesus

Episode: “The Passion of Rev Ruckus”

Uncle Ruckus dreams of meeting Ronald Reagan at the gates of White Heaven and is told that he must spread the message of “White Jesus” so that he can go there when he dies.

Babysitting The Freemans

Episode: “Home Alone”

When he goes on vacation Granddad leaves Uncle Ruckus in charge of the boys, why? We don’t know. But it was a hilarious disaster.

Ain’t nobody talking while I’m talking, so shut the f*ck up! My name is Uncle Ruckus and I will be nigga-sitting you two until your grandfather returns. Your granddad had picked me cause I am a licensed zoologist. I have studied a variety of wild animals and the African male, if by far, is the most savagely cunning. This is an opportunity to observe you niggas in your natural habitat and collect data. But be warned, whatever nigga trickery you got up your sleeve does not affect me!

Whistle While You Work

Episode: “The Story of Gangstalicious”

While cleaning the school, minding his own business Uncle Ruckus is singing an uplifting work song to get him through the day:

Colored folks talkin’ about ‘Save Me!’ / Wasn’t nothin’ wrong with slavery! / At least we got good food back then — uh huh, uh huh! / White man sho could be yo friend-“

Uncle Ruckus In Foot Locker

Episode: “Uncle Ruckus Reality Show”

Finally accepting that he is Black Uncle Ruckus goes to Foot Locker to “do what n*ggas do” and buy sneakers.

Tie: Throwing bricks at cardboard cutouts of Barack Obama exclaiming “Nigga down!”

“N*ggas Can’t Fight”

Episode: Granddad’s Fight

While Granddad trains with Huey for a fight, Ruckus insists that he’ll be ok because the best fighters in the world are white.

They don’t possess the strength of character to be a great fighter. That’s why all the best fighters have always been white men. Name me one great black heavyweight fighter? You can’t do it. You wanna pull Ali out your ass? Then why he didn’t go to Vietnam? Cuz he was scared. No Vietnamese never called me nigga. I called him a nigga eight times before breakfast. Want he gonna do?
