I once asked one of my cousins how one could make a abridged parody of BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo. His response was: "Just make it serious."

I'll never forget the joke when they had Japanese captions come over the enemy and he says "Get those Japanese words off me".

“Why do I have this? I don’t have kids.” That was so much funnier than it should have been

To this day, the scene where Bobobo-Bo Bobo-Bo flails around the air making grunt noises and his opponent is getting hit by flashing lights while Bobobo is spiraling up in the air and shouts *"PINEAPPLE CUSTARD PUDDING!!!"* is etched into my brain as the most random attack I've ever seen in my life.

The best part about Bobobo is that the voice actors sounded like they were having the time of their lives recording, which made the show even more enjoyable.

I forgot Pickles existed. That’s how effective writing him out was

Bobobo-bo: *When you watch Animaniacs and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in the same while sick and then having a fever dream*

This show’s sense of humor was wayyyyy ahead of its time

This show was like a fever dream but everyone else saw it too.

The best gag was one that never appeared in the anime. Where Bobobo summons the actual Yugi Muto who uses Slifer the Sky Dragon to defeat a main arc villain. Like not a Yu-Gi-Oh parody but the actual character coming out of Bobobo's afro.

Funny enough, the manga that kept going once the anime finished had the reveal that Pickles was actually acting as a spy for Bobobo to watch the true main villain.

An anime comedy thats primarily aimed towards kids, without the needs of fan service or unnecessary violence. They should make more shows like these.

Legit true story, when I was 12, my Mom once walked in on me watching this show during the part where Don Patch was selling churros. When she saw that part, she would say "Why the fuck is the star thing selling churros?! Isn't this in Japan?! Why is he selling it during Christmas?! Why is he selling a Mexican snack on a Japanese street corner on Christmas?!" I obviously couldn't explain why because even in context it makes no sense. And for some reason, she decides to call my Dad and my sisters into my room to look at the weird Japanese thing I was watching. Keep in mind, this was because of one sketch in the show. Could you imagine how impossible it would be to explain the rest of the show's insanity?!

I once talked to the actor who played bobobo and he doesn’t remember voicing any of it because he was literally drunk the entire time

My brother and I still quote "I'M A TORPEDO!" everytime we go swimming. 10/10 show, would shave my head if it got a reboot.

For English fans who aren't able to read or watch the anime because they axed the show. Pickle made a return at the last volume of the manga

This show 100% contributed to why I’m into such weird shit as an adult and I have zero regrets

Fun story about Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is that when it’s second part aired on toonami when I was like 10, I laughed so hard at one episode that I had an asthma attack and could not breath.

"There is no wood on this fire, it is all gas" is the perfect way to describe this show.

"Like a well cooked steak...and Poprocks." This is by far the most nuanced and accurate description of this show I have ever heard.

25:51 A few minutes earlier: "How off the wall, He's part of the wall? He's stuck in the wall?! He's a WALNUT!"

bobobobobobobo is the greatest cinematic masterpiece ever created.

I can never, ever forget this damn anime. It took up permanent residency in my 12 year old brain and never left.

Five years ago I told my nine-year-old nephew about BoBoBo and he didn't believe me that it was a thing that existed. He went home and binge-watched the entire thing in a week. To this day he says introducing him to it was the best and worst thing I ever did to him.

Best part about this show was that him and Dio shared the same Japanese VA

I remember actually tearing up at the Jelly Jiggler grocery store scene as a boy, love this show and love this video :')

"I've talked about this show for too long." No, Billiam, no you haven't. P.S. BoBoBo - Part 2 please. Not even a joke. You can do the rest of the episodes.

I think BoBoBo really gave me an appreciation for anime that doesn't take itself too seriously, anime can be so overly dramatic and cliche a lot of the time so it's nice to have "serious anime that aren't too serious" that embrace how absurd anime can be like Space Dandy, Kill La Kill, and One Punch Man.

I remember watching this show and thinking “Japan has realized we will just watch anything labeled ‘anime’ at this point...”

It's a shame the anime never had Yami Yugi make a cameo like the manga did.

To anyone else here with ADHD, there's a great show named Bluey, and the episode "Army" actually tackles it in a respectful manner, focusing on a character with it.

The fact that both DIO and Joseph Joestar voice objectively the best versions of each character is incredible to me

When I was young, I wanted a live action BoBoBo movie with Dwayne Johnson as Bobobo, Kevin Heart As Don Patch/PapaRocks, and Seth Rogen as Jelly Jiggler, that wouldve been something

Bobobo introduced me to fever dreams in Saturday cartoon form. And I will forever be thankful for that

One thing I that should be noted with some of the jokes is that they're supposed to be puns in the original Japanese, but due to translation the jokes then end up losing some of the context and so just seem surreal. A good example is the guitar butter one, where the joke is supposed to be that the Japanese words for guitar and butter are pronounced similarly hence the switch

'nothing is true, everything is permitted' -the logic of this show's writing

imagine being in middle school and all your weeb friends are in to Sasuke and Ichigo, and your just siting there lusting over Gasser from Bobo-bo, because that was me lol

Unofficial Scanlation teams are still translating the manga to this day. And they're actually almost done. It took so long because different teams have picked up and dropped translating it for over a decade. This team seems to be intent on completing it though. And Remember how the Anime leaves on a cliffhanger? This team is the reason you can read what happens after the cliffhanger, because until a year or two ago, NOT EVEN THE UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATIONS WERE CAUGHT UP WITH THE ANIME. So they really pumped gas into translating it. So ya.

bobobo is a strong contender for my favorite anime of all time, for one simple reason. If I ever needed a pick-me-up, each episode was always guaranteed to make me crack a smile at the very least-at the very least, one good laugh. What more can you ask for?

Some of the characters' reactions feel like they came straight out of JoJo

_"BECAUSE I'M A TORPEDO"_ This is one of the only things I remember from the show as a kid. I rewatched some episodes a few months ago but I never got to Torpedo Girl. I just couldn't handle the insanity for _30 episodes._

By the way in the Japanese version, did you know Bo-bobo's Japanese voice actor is Dio Brando? In the English dub, he is voiced by Joseph Joestar.

5:36 Peter Cullen as the announcer was perfect. Now we have Optimus Prime saying random shit

The scene where jelly jiggler has to interrupt because the vibrations of their voices are making him wobble, is fucking gold!

the op for this show slaps so hard also, fun fact: the voice actor for bobobo is richard epcar, aka ansem from kingdom hearts edit: ah shit, i forgot don patch is voiced by saix

When the leak broke and he shouted, “that reminds me of my neck!” I’m pretty sure my neighbors heard me laughing

This whole show feels like an extended Kitty0706 video series combined with 'Who's Line Is It Anyway?' It feels like 'Zoomer Humour: the Anime'

BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo existed just to make those who love absurdity aware of that love at a very early age.

The fact the voice actress for the girl with pink hair is the same voice actress that voiced Mimi in Digimon just feels right.

Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" paired suprising well with this show.

This show makes full use of the fact that it's made with animation.

Bobobo got me into anime. Also gave me a different perspective on humor in general, particularly absurdism and surrealism. Just bought the last two english volumes I'm missing.

I vaguely remember a toothbrush being happy to die brushing bobobo's teeth, as this is what a toothbrush is made for, only, upon bobobo hearing this to be relegated to brushing his shoes.

This show feels like its abridged on release. I love it.

"I find bobobo bo bobobo very overstimulating. I like watching a couple episodes at a time but after that I get cranky like a cat who's been pet too much." This was so perfectly described and delivered, it hit like bit from the show ong. And I agree 100% 💀💀💀

Bo-bo-bo might have be the reason why I love that style of comedy. Things in this show were thrown at random, the characters were so extreme with Beauty and Gaser being the mostly sane characters. God I loved that show. Wild Challanger is such a banger.

I’m in the same boat. Saw this as a kid. Never forgot it. Even as a kid I could tell it was one of the most funny show’s I’d ever watch. Bobobo beating up his friends because they skipped breakfast will always stick with me “BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY”

“I’m a big fan of misdirects and big set ups with mundane pay offs... I truthfully think that this is THE GREATEST FORM OF ART ...and I will not be elaborating on that” lmao brilliant 🔥🔥🔥

fun fact in the Bobobo manga Yugi makes a cameo cause while at a party the creator of Bobobo thought it would be funny if Yugi just randomly showed up and the creator of Yugioh agreed and even drew Yugi for that panel.

I have had most of the lyrics of the theme song taking up residence in my head rent-free for almost 20 years now. And I only just realized the completely casual mention of _nuclear weapons_ they threw in. During both bridges, which talk about how the singer wants to punch someone's face it, they specifically describe it as "Megatron class punch" (used to describe explosive TNT equivalence), "crash bomb" (typical Japanese euphemism for nuclear weapons in fiction) and "like a Fat Man" (literally the name of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. This show really did not give a heck about anything.

Publisher: so what are your plans for this series The mangaka: yes

Bobobo was peak entertainment for me in middle school and now I am contractually obligated to rewatch it every 3 years.

28:43: “That’s a Green Onion!” “IT IS?!?”

About the time this came out while I was in college, I had a friend who had just got a dog he named Beau. Any time I saw Beau, I just immediately said "BeauBeauBeau-Beau BeauBeau-Beau." Fun dog.

Still waiting for the “Billiam was so weird video”

You dont understand how much this means to me this was my FAVORITE show as a kid

This Anime Was A GIANT TROLL to ALL OTHER ANIME

Let me tell you, having this as your first ever late school-night anime alongside the Princess Mononoke movie when you're 11 years old is a TRIP. I swore they were a fever dream, especially since I spent the next decade trying to find the name of Princess Mononoke based off of a few vague tramautising memories from the movie with no luck until I saw a random movie review suggested on YT with a familiar MC and wolf.

Fun Fact: The manga was already complete but the anime was cancelled due to parents complaining it was too violent

The creator of bobobo is a genius. It makes me sad the anime never finished

This show was comedy gold. It was so over the top and I loved every minute of it. Really wished there was more episodes.

The problem I have with Bobobo, which is the same problem I have with a lot of Japanese comedy like Gintama, is 90% of the jokes are followed by a character popping up and screaming what the joke was.

Definitely the most bizarre thing I saw on toonami as a kid.

i unironically think this show is the best shonen comedy ever made

"A well cooked steak, and pop-rocks" I am both intensely intrigued and horrified by the concept

Does anyone remember the arc where they got stuck in a weird death trap board game where they threw various items around (including an elephant) as dice and they needed to win the game or else they would get turned into crystal statues for all eternity? I remember that.

This show is probably responsible for so many odd senses of humor. Also, Jelly Jiggler is the same voice actor as Garen from League of Legends.

Clicked on this video so fast, not even Bobobo’s nose hair could stop me

1:45 that looks like the love child of goku, sonic, and Mike wazoski. 😂

I remember the episode where they were in a tournament and Bobobo decides to randomly transform himself into a giant chicken nugget

That moment you realize this is the closest we'll ever get to having Raiden and Shadow the Hedgehog in the same show.

This was the shonen parody before One Punch Man took the mantle, and it made my childhood.

I was always heart broken when the show ended and I found out how close the anime was to finishing the original story the manga told. The lengths it goes to call backs from the very beginning of the series would have been WILD to my kid self. It doesn't make the finished product anymore weird and special to me. XD

Just to elaborate, don patch is a piece of candy. Pop rocks specifically. He's called Papa Rocks in the manga, but Don Patch is his actual name. Don Patch is the sound a machine gun makes and the Japanese thinks the onomatopoeia sounds similar the candies.

About time someone gave this show the spotlight it deserves! Absolutely love this show ever since I saw it as a kid, one of my all-time favorite animes ever.

I was today's years old when I finally realized that bobobo's character and fist of the nose hair is a parody of ken from fist of the north stat

This cocaine energy is insane, i love it

DanPatch looks like someone tried to turn a sun into both vegeta AND sonic the hedghog. somehow, this feels very appropriate, since he seems to be the lancer character.

"Stinko de mayo" made me giggle far more than it should have. I am such a child.

I mainly remember BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo as that weird show that came on on Toonami before Naruto

I seen the thumbnail and I was like "OOH HELLZ YEAH! BOBOBO WAS MY JAM" I would watch him on adultswim all the time.

You have awakened a D E E P M E M O R Y

I heard a great description about bobobo, a main character who wouldn't hesitate to use his friends as meat shields and weapons. All while beating them as badly as he beats the villains.

"a well cooked steak, and pop rocks" I'm keeping that

"Bobobo bo bobo bo is weird" is redundant and an understatement. I wish that the anime wasn't canceled as early as it was.

Does anyone remember that one episode where Bo-Bobo rips out parts of his own afro, let's them float about before turning into very little versions of himself before attacking this short red haired villian by turning his red hair into a giant afro and then shocking him? I swear they made a rap about it at the end of the episode like it was some sort of Pokemon rap

Anyone else remember BoBoBo's sister has the power of armpit hair lol 😆

“I wish I had a pillow, my neck” 😭 lmao the dialogue is gold

“Why do I have this? I don’t have any kids!” ☠️

Whenever I think back on this show, it comes into my brain like a fever dream haze, horrifying and off-putting.
