Plot

When Ashtray moves to South Central L.A. to live with his father (who appears to be the same age he is) and grandmother (who likes to talk tough and smoke reefer), he falls in with his gang-banging cousin Loc Dog, who along with the requisite pistols and Uzi carries a thermo-nuclear warhead for self-defense. Will Ashtray be able to keep living the straight life?

"Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood" is a parody of several U.S. films about being in the "'hood", like "Boyz n the Hood", "South Central", "Menace II Society", "Higher Learning", and "Juice". Ashtray he returns to his old neighborhood and meets his father and his basket-case friends; crazy stuff happens. For example, Ashtray is older than his father, and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough.
