What ‘F Is for Family’ Episodes Does Snoop Dogg’s Rev. Sugar Squires Appear In?
The Netflix original series F Is for Family just premiered its fifth and final season not long ago. Since the beginning, the TV series has featured a healthy cast of well-known voices playing the characters, including creator Bill Burr himself in the lead role.
Even so, nothing gets people more excited than cameos, and the show managed to get one of the best: Snoop Dogg himself. Whether you’re a returning fan who wants to relive some of the best moments or someone new looking for some great episodes to jump into, when can you see his character on the small screen?
Snoop played Rev. Sugar Squires in three episodes of the show
For those hoping that Snoop was a series regular, you might be a bit disappointed (he’s a busy man, you know). In total, he was featured as Reverend Sugar Squires in a total of three episodes of the show before it ended.
Based on his IMDb credits, two of these were in Season 4 (“Come to Papa” and “R is for Rosie”), and the last was the premiere of Season 5 (“The Mahogany Fortress”).
Snoop has had roles in a number of productions over the years
As any dedicated fan knows, F Is for Family is far from the first time Snoop Dogg has made an appearance in something, and not just as himself. In animation alone, he’s had a fairly eclectic number of roles poking fun at his own reputation as a hardcore rap artist, ranging from the white pimp Alabaster Jones in King of the Hill to the rapper Macktastic in The Boondocks. Less notable are his performances in the two Addams Family films, in which he played (barely) Cousin Itt with his voice garbled and reversed.
In live-action, he’s had similar cameos, one of his more notable being the “Big Brother” episode of The Bernie Mac Show, in which he works as a store clerk whose resemblance to a certain musician is actually noted in the show. More recently, he was the voice of what’s known as The Archive in the science fiction Hulu series Utopia Falls. He also reprised his role as a man of the cloth in several episodes of BMF as the character Pastor Swift.
Playing priests and related figures is strangely common for Snoop, as he’s done it at least once more in the low-budget horror film Urban Menace. In it, he portrayed the vengeful ghost of Preacher Caleb, hoping to kill the gang members led by Ice-T’s character after they murdered him and his family.
Funnily enough, this premise is eerily similar to the much better film Bones, where Snoop gives one of his career-best performances as the titular Jimmy Bones once again taking post-mortem revenge against those who wronged him in life. While Bones was a bit more out of his wheelhouse in terms of character, one thing that made the film undeniably Snoop is the fact he (according to the director) managed to shoot all but one of his scenes while high.
Several other celebrities and comedians also had cameo roles on the show
Beyond Snoop, F Is for Family also had a number of other fun cameos during its run. Starting off strong, the show had the legendary Kurtwood Smith and Carol Kane on to fittingly play the character Sue’s terrible parents.
In the realm of comedians, Amy Sedaris, Daryl Mitchell, Will Sasso, and Joe Pera all got featured in episodes, with Mitchell even playing a stand-up comic. Finally, Rich Sommer played – what else – a ruthless businessman.
