Which black friend is best black friend?
Why have there been so many nerdy black friends in the past couple decades?
>>89587771
Irwin was gonna get his own show wel tj was forgotten in his.
I think the answers clear.
>>89587819
Muh diversity. It's the only trope about black people you can get away with. Anything else will make Al Sharpton go bananas.
>>89587771
Irwin as a bro and a badass
He purposely saved Mandy from being turned / "corrupted" into being nice because he loved her the way she was.
and it was implied that he would have become an even scarier mother fucker than Mandy is if his dad didn't shut that shit down when he was younger.
>>89587853
Well the one with overall better moments would be Irwin anyway.
Tj and chester were really funny but as you said forgotten.
>>89587912
It's AJ, not TJ.
>>89587771
Clyde
after finding out that Lincoln was paying off his sisters to pretend to need his help with menial tasks, Clyde leaves angry at Lincoln. on his way out he finds Lana stuck in a tree and rescues her.
>>89587898
He was also pretty neat in Underfist.
Irwin. Irwin's dad was great too
I'm ashamed of you, /co/.
Obviously Irwin.
Irwin by a long shot. I loved episodes that featured his family members.
>>89587771
>>89588148
Gerald > Irwin > Libby > AJ
>>89588206
Ajs family was ok if anything just for that parental controls episode.
>>89587771
i miss the 90s when caring or even noticing what race someone was was something only executives did
>>89588331
I was going to also put Token but hes ehh
>>89588331
I liked the 90s perfectly multicultural group of kids. Are You Afraid of the Dark did this the best.
Virgil is the best black friend.
>>89588689
This cant wait a month!
Irwin, I didn't even watch Billy and Mandy that much.
>>89587771
>>89587877
Those character's are from way before the whole diversity push started.
>>89587771
Irwin because he's half KANG
>>89587877
>>89587819
Actually, a lot of writers have said they have nerdy black friends. On top of that Steve Urkle exists so yea.
From personal experience, at school it seemed every clique of nerds had that one black friend who oddly like to draw and enjoyed street fighter. Anime loving is optional.
Can't believe no one has mentioned Tucker.
>>89592866
>that one black friend who oddly like to draw and enjoyed street fighter.
Street Fighter is not even Capcom's best fighting series
t. token black guy that liked drawing
>>89592927
It's Marvel Baybee
I can't believe you guys.
>>89592967
In this case I was thinking of Vampire Savior, but that also is a good example.
>>89592866
Tim from the magic school bus?
>>89592927
>>89593002
All black friends are best friends. A while ago I was walking down the street carrying a television when this black guy came up to me. Before I could even ask him where the e-waste center is, he said "ay yo gimme dat," took the television and ran.
>>89593314
What a nice man, taking that trash off your hands like that.
>>89588148
This is the top answer. Gerald was a true bro.
>>89592866
>fighting game community
Black people are pretty sizable in the fighting game community. And shonen anime.
>>89588148
Was Gerald's hair a fade or an afro?
>>89593545
a high Marge Simpson-like afro.
>>89593356
You mean the television was showing Star vs?
>>89588148
>>89588208
>>89593396
Good taste. Had the best girl, too.
>>89588755BEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBE
>>89587771
im a black friend
>>89588052
I think I understand why everyone hates this kid. Motherfucker has an entire harem at his disposal yet he only chases the oldest one. What a waste.
>>89587819
Urkel
>>89587819
Black people can't be main characters or else the racists will becoming reeing pepes, so they make them harmless by making black people a friend.
>>89596348
At least we had Static Shock and the Boondocks
Man fuck people
>>89593545
it's a hi-top
like you people don't even late 80/early 90s hip hop
>>89593227
>>89594808
>yet he only chases the oldest one.
Who already has a boyfriend.
>>89587933
exactly
>>89593227
>>89596608
Can you even be black when your real name is Darlington?
>>89587819
because cartoon writers are too old to know about black peoples facination with anime and fighting games
>>89596979
I'm black and I still don't get this. None of them have been able to explain it to me either.
>>89587877
>black nerds finally get a chance to write someone like themselves
>still get shit on because you can't not have a white person without an agenda
How about you fuck right off, mate?
>>89596935
actually with a name like that, you may be even blacker.
Seriously, what is it with black people having long names.
Like you never meet a black guy named Ted. He is always Theodore, and not just Theodore but THEO...DORE. Like you enunciate each one like a southern gospel preacher.
>>89592866
Can confirm. I am literally that guy.
>>89587819
Because showing them any other way is WACIST.
>>89587819
Because Urkel
Does numbah 5 count as a black friend or a black protagonist
>>89587771
best nerdy black friend coming through
>>89597667
Good night sleepy man
>>89588148
My boy, this friend is what all true show writers strive for
Why is there so little porn of them tho?
>>89597617
why not both?
NIGGERS
>>89597816
Because a lot of them are guys
>>89587771
I like A.J., but Irwin is a much more well rounded character. Weird that I'm taking about character development in a show like Billy and Mandy, but it's surprising how much he evolved as the show went on.
>>89587819
Because we all know that black people can't be nerds, they are all normies considered cool and social.
>>89587771
Irwin had the better lines.
>This ain't fair, yo! That thing's on 'ROIDS!
>>89587771
Best black friend right here. He was Zamasu's only friend. A total bro.
>>89596979
I love whenever I go to the library and there are a bunch of black guys sitting around on the computers watching stuff like Zatch Bell. My favorite was the huge 30-something black guy who looked like the dad from Fresh Prince watching Sailor Moon Crystal.
>>89587819
Same reason there are so many bitchy asian characters
subverting societal expectations while still not really giving any empowerment
>>89588148
He wasn't just Arnold's nigga, he was everyone's nigga.
>>89588052And then lincoln noticed Lana got paid too
>Clyde btfo
>>89597832
Yet 3/4 of them is always paired/shipped with a male character...
Not that I dont mind. More Clyde Linc please
>>89592926
Tucker and Sam were both kind of assholes.
>Sam only liked Danny after he got his powers
>Tucker low key jelly of the Phantom skelly.
I guess that kind of humanizes them though. No girl wants a loser and no nigga wants to see one man have all that power.
>>89597224
>Lemonjello
>Orangejello
What is a "normal" name and why would anyone want to have a normie name? That being said black people alienate the fuck out of their kids when they do shit like Sharkeisha or Airwreca.
>>89593227
>ywn have the whitest black guy for a friend
>>89599687
You know there are a lot of us more than youd think.
>>89596348
or maybe they are marketing to a country that is 15% black?
>>89597029
that triggered you hard, huh
>>89587819
Least offensive stereotype. Also, /co/ does have a fair amount of nerdy black guys, so I guess it worked for the target audience.
>>89598463
The best black character
>>89587771
>>89602807
>>89598463
Please
>>89602807
nah this guy beats anyone at being black
Connie
>>89603385
>poo in the loo Indian
>black
>>89603385
it boggles the mind how people can find this character design pleasing
>>89603539
Her voice actress is white so she is white
>>89603751
is the voice actor herself present in the show, interacting with the characters in the episodes?
>>89603751
the character design says otherwise, my dude
>>89603894
Next you are going to claim that Gems are human ethnic groups based on phenotype.
>>89603906
next you are going to change the subject
>>89603932
Yep. I lost interest in this so I fold.
>>89593481
this
like every locals i go its its 98% black dudes and the other 2% is any other race. its funny as fuck when 97% of the blacks chimp out over losing though, so many fist fights and "imma stab you in the lot, nigga". good thing at least 2 cops are at our venue now to stop that shit because they can't do it themselves.
never seen a white dude or an asian dude just legit threaten to kill someone else because they lost at a game.
>>89598463
wow rly?
its hard to not like yourself when only you believe your perfect and also immortal.
shit, why did he just not immortal his way out of fighting them? he wasn't gonna die, the jar was smashed, so all he had to do was wait like 10 mins and he would have won.
Irwin is one of the best cartoon characters of all time. Beats AJ easily. AJ is a braindead stereotypical nerd who was made black because white people aren't threatened by black nerds. Irwin is an average student who wears a bowtie because he likes it and actually has a unique personality.
Irwin is the best because he's part Dracula. Anyone who doesn't say Irwin is a big dummy. And Dracula an't no dummy.
>>89604296
More like Blackula
It's time to pay the price.
>>89604296
Dracula sucks
>>89604581
Did you even watch the show?
He scrapes, then licks.
>>89604581
>>89592866
Shut up, stop describing me
>>89598463
What a retarded and pointless arc. Fuck all of those characters.
>>89597230
Same, what a small world we live in.
>>89594013
Was Phoebe and Gerald a thing? Might not be remembering things right?
>>89597617
Black best friend to all of Sector V and sorta protagonist as she was second in command and stepped up when Numbah 1 wasn't available to lead.
>no Victory Stone
Yall niggas is dumb.
>>89603729
It's a mystery
>>89607613
Do not lewd the Connie. Maybe stevonnie.
>>89607613
yes it is.
i liked danny phantom's black friend
i don't remember his name, was it tucker?
>>89609648
Yeah him and his goddamn tech thing
>>89603128
>Who is Darkshine
>>89599360
>No girl wants a loser
Wrong. Having a cute loser to bully but also unconditionally love [Spoiler]especially after hurting their feelings is the best.[/Spoiler}
>>89604340
ITS TIME TO PAY THE PRICE
>>89597402
