When Cream Corn saves young Michael Jackson from an assassination attempt, the pint-sized pop star finds in Corn a new best friend.

And when Cream Corn too has finally had enough, Dynamite and crew step in to slap the black off Mike's face, changing music and Michael forever.

It started as a mission to infiltrate the world of adult film in order to solve a case. But now Bullhorn may be in over his head... in bitches. Convinced he's found his true purpose (making bitches happy with his "Sweet Throat"), Bullhorn abandons crime fighting to become a celebrity porn star.

EP 4 'A Crisis for Christmas' or 'The Dark Side of the Dark Side of the Moon'

It's Christmastime at The Whorephanage, and while Black Dynamite loves the holidays, he's distracted by a problem: what can he get the orphans for Christmas?

Black Dynamite finds his answer in Little Orphan Arnold's enthusiasm for the impending lunar launch and his wish for a moon rock.

EP 5 'Panic on the Player's Ball Express' or 'That's Influenza!'

Every year the Player's Ball - the annual international gala gathering of Pimps - tries to top the previous years' festivities. This year, it's a costume party on a luxurious cross-country train.

Now every pimp and ho is a suspect.

Black Dynamite's non-white arch nemesis, Fiendish Dr. Wu. has stolen an experimental supply of Menthol X-a super addictive mind-control additive-and sold it to the Notorious Big Tobacco Company!

EP 7 'The S**t That Killed The King' or 'Weekend At Presley's'

When the President's plan to destroy the Black community with illegal drugs backfires, Tricky Dick unleashes his latest weapon: Special DEA agent Elvis Aaron Presley!

To cheer her up, Black Dynamite takes her to the circus where she finds a most unlikely admirer in the main attraction: a giant albino ape named Honky Kong! Inflamed, the beast kidnaps Bee and takes her to the top of Watts Towers, where neither the old-ass Tuskegee Airmen, nor Black Dynamite's trademark kung fu are enough to rescue her.

EP 9 'Apocalypse, This!' or 'For the Pity of Fools' AKA 'Flashbacks are Forever'

Back in Vietnam, Black Dynamite's "brother from another mother," LAWRENCE TUREAUD was a force to be reckoned with. That is until the US pulled out and left the man for dead. Now it turns out he's alive and cannibalizing the locals-literally slow-roasting them with his own brand of BBQ sauce. BD and Crew agree to return to 'Nam to track down Tureaud and set him straight-before the US Special Forces do. Pity the fool who will try to stop them!

EP 10 'Seed of Kurtis' AKA 'Father Is Just Another Word For Motherf***er'

The Reverend DADDY DYNAMITE (Clifton Powell) left Black Dynamite when he was just a little 8-year old boy. But now he's back in the Community preaching a new kind of revivalism, and BD... couldn't be happier?

"Exploiting the Community's sins is just not Black Dynamite's style."

Season 2

EP 1 'Roots: The White Album' or 'The Blacker the Community the Deeper the Roots!'

When ROOTS hits the air and the Community finally sees just how bad slavery was, Al Sharpton whips everyone into a reparation frenzy and they storm Beverly Hills, enslaving every white honky cracker they can find!

Back at the Whorephanage, all the sex-starved johns turn into horny zombies trying to hump their way into the building, but Honey Bee couldn't care less, she's not coming home!

EP 6 'Mister Rogers' Revenge' or 'Please Don't You Be His Neighbor'

On the Orphans' collective birthday, Black Dynamite brings them all to a show taping with their favorite TV white man, Mister Rogers. Now, you'd think that Fred Rogers was never a trained Special Forces killer and that he would definitely not kidnap all the Orphans in a deranged attempt to protect them from evil TV executives and that's exactly what doesn't not happen! With the cops outgunned and the Orphans behind guerrilla defenses, it's up to Black Dynamite to invade that neighborhood and face off with Mister Rogers himself.

EP 7 'American Band Standoff' or 'The Godfather of Soooul Train' or 'Get On Your Goodfellas'

EP 8 'Diff'rent Folks, Same Strokes' or 'The Hunger Pain Games'

Child Services is finally on to the Whorephanage and slaps them with a shutdown notice!
