Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force series
Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force series has a
recurring character called “Boxy Brown” (A play on Foxy
Brown, a lead character in another blaxploitation film).
An imaginary friend of Meatwad, Boxy Brown is a
cardboard box with a crudely drawn face with a goatee on
it that dons an afro. Whenever Boxy speaks ’70s funk
music, typical of blaxploitation films, is played in the
background. The cardboard box also fronts a
confrontational attitude and dialect similar to many
heroes of this film genre. Sample Dialogue
Some of the TVs found in the action video game Max
Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne feature a blaxploitation-themed
parody of the original Max Payne game called Dick
Justice, after its main character. In the original Max
Payne, there is a dialogue between two mercenaries, one
of whom admits that he has christened his gun “Dick
Justice.” Dick behaves much like the original Max Payne
(down to the “constipated” grimace and metaphorical
speech) but wears an afro and mustache, and talks in
Black English.
