The Pretty Boy Flizzy episode is just the Usher episode from last season reheated. As the saying goes: 'Nothing to see here, people. I really wanted the Boondocks back in my life. The Obama years have been dry enough without Chappelle around to skewer the Tea Party and other such nonsense, but to have the Boondocks return this way.
