| Riley is Huey's younger brother. Riley could be described as a product of mass media influence, in that he frequently alludes to his "rep" and his status on the "streets", and idolizes "gangsta rappers" and their lifestyle. He often refers to himself as self-appointed moniker "Young Reezy". Though he would seem to be everything his brother is not, he has demonstrated his ability to rationalize and plan things out, such as when he rendered attorney Tom Dubois speechless after debating with him regarding the R. Kelly trial in "The Trial of R. Kelly". His criminal aptitude is put to the test when he goes on some crime sprees with the incompetent Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy in the episode "Let's Nab Oprah" during which he effectively acts as the brains behind the operation to kidnap Oprah. He also seems to possess unusually large amount of strength and stamina, as seen when he fights his brother Huey , who is a very high degree martial artist and swordsman. It can also be seen when he fights Stinkmeaner alongside his family where, albeit slow, his blows seem to be worth blocking against a kung-fu trained Stinkmeaner. Indeed, though, beyond this tough-guy facade, there would seem to be some measure of sensitivity that is especially apparent in the episode "Riley Wuz Here" during which he learns to use his incredible artistic abilities to create art for the sake of creating art, and not for personal glory. |
