~ Ed Wuncler III. |
Edward "Ed" Wuncler III is a major antagonist in The Boondocks.
He is the psychotic, inept, dimwitted, and thuggish grandson of Ed Wuncler I and son of Ed Wuncler II.
He was voiced by the late Charlie Murphy, who also portrayed Jizzy B. in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Coach Ashmokeem in The Cookout 2, Key Flo in Meet the Blacks, and Gusto in CB-4.
Biography[]
Ed is the grandson of Ed Wuncler I. Ed III is a drunken, psychopathic and trigger-happy ex-soldier freshly discharged from active duty in Iraq. His character could be seen as a parody of a young George W. Bush — a figure destined to be president on the strength of his family's wealth and power, despite his sub-average intelligence (as referenced at the end of "The Garden Party", where his grandfather says, "In 30 years, that boy will be President of the United States... and he'll still be a fucking idiot!"). Ed's bling includes a large medallion in the shape of the letter W.
Ed III and his friend, Gin Rummy, get away with their misguided and comically inept criminal antics because Ed Wuncler I has the police and everyone else in the city on his payroll, and because his status as a member of the U. S. Armed Forces confers the public image of a hero no matter how immoral his actions may be, while Gin Rummy often argues that their escapes are the result of his being a master planner. For example, the pair go unpunished when staging a poorly executed bank robbery; Ed and Rummy are seen as heroes when they rob a convenience store owned by a person of "terrorist descent"; in attempting to kidnap Oprah Winfrey, they mistakenly abduct Maya Angelou, then Bill Cosby instead. Every time when Riley goes to him for help, like in Shinin'. Ed ends up kidnapping a wrong kid not the kid that stole Riley's chain.
In "Hateocracy", Ed shoots random elder people instead of the Hateocracy crew (possibly mistaking them for members of said crew.)
Trivia[]
- Despite his actions, Ed is arguably the least evil of the Wunclers, due to his comedic nature and showing genuine fondness towards Gin Rummy and Riley.
- He largely seems to commit crimes as a hobby to alleviate boredom. Though he did commit burglary under orders from his grandfather to boost the sales of Wuncler security systems; to add insult to injury, Ed proved they don't work as it didn't go off in the Freeman house.
- He still had access to the Wuncler fortune, or "elephant dollars" as Grandad puts it.
