The series, which is confident from the start, its world fully formed and well-performed, isn't a retelling.

As offended as some may be, the show's stoner-friendly humor is innocuous.

There are so many funny line's in this show like a woman saying: when's the last time you seen a N**** grow anything? and another one when Lloyd says: I believe in Jesus, I believe in Jesus Christ he's done a lot of miracles except he ain't done **** for me! There so many other funny **** they say, great show and I'm Australian and I can't wait too see a second season :-)

This live-action series from “The Boondocks'” Aaron McGruder and director Mike Clattenburg is also disarmingly and pretty consistently funny, buoyed by Gerald “Slink” Johnson’s portrayal of You Know Who.

It’s often funny, but it’s not infallible. A lot of the first episode plays like a sketch-show bit that drags on too long, tees up giant stereotypes and goes for easy “Wouldn’t it be funny if Jesus did ____” gags.

As you’d expect from Mr. McGruder (working with the Canadian writer and director Mike Clattenburg of “Trailer Park Boys”), it’s pretty funny if you give it some time.

Creator of the boondocks gets thrown away and creates his own spin-off ? What could possibly go wrong ? He even brings with him one of the best ex-voice actors new actor of the series. That n igga

- Honestly I was real skeptical of this show But I was really really good. It was really really funny and well thought out. I even created an account just to rate this show. Great cast and crew everyone in there is amazing.

Love Black Jesus! This is the best thing to happen to Christianity in a long time. Finally something positive associated with the faith and a reminder of what it means to follow in Christ's example. Jesus has been depicted as a pasty blue-eyed square for too long. Many of today's Christians think that looking down on and condemning those who they don't approve of is Christian. I doubt that this is exactly how he would appear in the second coming, but he was a man of the people who cared about the poor and disenfranchised. The message is good and the laughs are great. This Jesus could put the people in the pews.

Trailer Park Boys set in Compton, but instead of being genuinely funny, its just cliched. Heavily cliched. Clattenburg meets Hollywood, and sells his soul for an American dollar.
