“Today” by Tom Scott sampled by peter rock and CL smooth for They.Reminisce.Over.You (trouble T-Roy) which is deep cuz riley was reminiscing over his grandmother.

I can’t believe no one else got the art teacher reference. The art teacher is Bob Ross. He was the guy on PBS who had the afro and painted all the happy clouds and trees…
hmmm… youtube seems to be filled with imitators and no actual original footage, but here’s his website:

This episode will never be recognized as one of the most well-written episodes in TV history. The Bob Ross reference/tribute, the entire chase scene where Tom Scott’s “Today” plays in the background is absolute brilliance. Equally brilliant was the choice to use the original song, as opposed to Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s hip-hop masterpiece. In just a few moments, Aaron Magruder used a well-recognized melody and educated millions of hip-hop fans while simultaneously evoking an emotional response. I’m sure everyone who watched this began to think of someone who’s no longer with them and found themselves holding back a tear. I’ve never seen a cartoon do this before. Bravo.

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background during the car chase?
December 9th, 2008 at 2:58 AM
That was Robert’s wife. It just doesn’t seem right that he would cry over his kids. It seems like he would be crying over his wife. I said it, so take it.

the teacher told him to keep on painting yet in future episodes you see absolutely no other references or instances of riley doing art.
June 8th, 2010 at 12:28 PM
The art teacher’s like a creepy, blonde version of Bob Ross.
June 8th, 2010 at 12:43 PM
Yah, he doesn’t like painting violent things. He likes painting happy little trees. I like how they only have houses to paint on since its suburbia.
June 8th, 2010 at 1:37 PM
Yah, Bob Ross was that stoned white guy with the brown Afro that showed off his painting skills on his show on PBS. Great Tribute!
June 8th, 2010 at 1:39 PM
He’s dead now, but his namesake is used by a painting supply company.
June 8th, 2010 at 1:39 PM
RIP Bob Ross
June 9th, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Well, I don’t get the references but it was good. I love art and I know a true artist will beat the crap outta you if you throw their picture away! It may be funny, but it’s true.Lol The art teacher is ALWAYS CALM! O_o
