BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo is an unforgettable absurdist surrealist shonen anime. I have never seen anything so absurd.

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 need to see this theoretical abridged series.
Oh my god, that would be brilliant. I really want to see this turned into a dramatic show with stakes, and (even more difficultly) something that makes sense.
That’s actually an interesting idea
Like when DBZ Abridged removed the jokes?
I wanna see that
I'll never forget the joke when they had Japanese captions come over the enemy and he says "Get those Japanese words off me".
Djddfyddbedjbdhdj
Do he just break the 4th wall
@@TypeKK yup that’s common place
I'm pretty sure it was originally a joke in Japanese, but the american localization was tasked with making up the dialogue for the show. They had very little to go off of so they made up their own dialogue and jokes.
Or the time Bobo-Bo tried to take an exam.
JP: "Oh no, I forgot to study! I don't understand this at all!" (Funny)
EN: "Wait, what are these squiggles? Is this JAPANESE?! I can't even read this test!" (Hilarious)
“Why do I have this? I don’t have kids.” That was so much funnier than it should have been
Honestly those throw away lines are so good
Also kinda weird if you know the truth about softon
That was the funniest clip used in this video. I had to pause because I was laughing so hard
I was cracking up from that one.
That line broke me lol
Bobobo-bo: *When you watch Animaniacs and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in the same while sick and then having a fever dream*
Pretty much
fun fact: bobobo and dio are the same VA
The weird younger brother of Excel Saga
And the that fever dream has a fever dream.
@@oluglyrass Thought it was Joseph?
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.
Not only that, but that the Yugi in that panel was drawn by Kazuki Takahashi (creator of yugioh) because Bobobo’s creator met him at a party.
Thats mad props lol
So THAT'S why Bahamut from Grandblue Fantasy comes from his afro in his April Fool's appearance.
@@pczb2692 oh hey, i was wondering if someone would bring up the GBF crossover. that was a trip.
In the game Jump Superstars for DS, you can make Yugi come out of Bo-bobo's wig as an attack.
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.
Voice acting was so good imo
That was the first show to get me interested in the VAs.
For the time especially.
It made it so memorable
The most bizarre thing is Bobobo-Bo Bo-BoBo’s voice actors are also from Jojo. You thought it was a normal JP voice actor, but it was him Takehito Koyasu or should I say DIO!!!!!! His ENG voice was Richard Epcar who was also Joseph Joestar. HOLY SHIT!!
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
That's the perfect time to bring him back
No fucking way. Absolute madlad
......shit hearing that after all these years makes me happy
Based and Picklepilled
Took him long enough to get that agent.
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.
Ok so how does it end?
@@thelastjerkbender2505 look it up
@@thelastjerkbender2505 They all die
@@bassnbluegill1406
Any other show, and I’d say you were lying
But for this, I just can’t know…
@@AlwaysSomeone Bo-Bobo fucking dies, but because he has the title of King Spark (I'm Spanish, so I don't know how it's called in America) all the residents of Spark Heaven together hand over a bunch of their most favourite objects so he can revive even stronger, and he even get the power of the father of Torpedo Girl, which is immensely strong
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
Thats amazing
You can't be serious
@@murderman8578 I’m serious
That used to be a lot more common with dubs back in the 80s and 90s. Nice!
Joseph shouldn't drink that much. Suzie Q barely forgave him for bringing back a baby because of the last time he did
This show was like a fever dream but everyone else saw it too.
I agree, but it's also a masterpiece
Amazing show
Yeah it was 😅
Nice!!!!!!
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.
That does it. *I need to watch this show.*
I know this is old, but my memory of this show is Tofu guy talking about how his dream was to be eaten.
An anime comedy thats primarily aimed towards kids, without the needs of fan service or unnecessary violence. They should make more shows like these.
🅱️🅾️🅱️🅾️🅱️🅾️⛔️🅱️🅾️ 🅱️🅾️🅱️🅾️⛔️🅱️🅾️ is the 🅱️est!
Exactly!
I do not like the show, but I love this format.
No fan service? Did you SEE Torpedo Girl? 😏
What do you mean without "unnecessary violence"? This is like the show core for bo-bobo.
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?!
this is fucking awesome.
So your mom turned into Beauty and went full straightman?
@@logicaloverdrive8197 More or less.
In the japanese version he's selling some kind of crab snack I think
What happened most likely is that your mom was into the show
I forgot Pickles existed. That’s how effective writing him out was
Same XD
Me too
And Don Patch did his damndest to make sure he STAYED out.
Awwww.😟
At this moment, your like number is at 666. That's how effectively pointless he was.
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.
EMBB!
Everyone Must Be Bald!
This show’s sense of humor was wayyyyy ahead of its time
Predicted Zoomer Hoomer. I mean humor.
This show 100% contributed to why I’m into such weird shit as an adult and I have zero regrets
I second that notion
Sameeee
Same here bro
@Jokerpilled Saint Agreed lmao
Same
bobobobobobobo is the greatest cinematic masterpiece ever created.
What about Corey in the House.
I watched this as a kid and now as an adult it is still the best show of all time
it really is
@@undeadblizzard that memes dead
@@vincentpistoia9034 Just like am on the inside.
"There is no wood on this fire, it is all gas"
is the perfect way to describe this show.
Considering one of the main characters is literally named Gasser i'm concerned about the type of gas being used on this fire.
"Like a well cooked steak...and Poprocks." This is by far the most nuanced and accurate description of this show I have ever heard.
Pop rocks is actually what Don Patch is supposed to be, oddly enough. He's named after a Japanese version of them.
I remember actually tearing up at the Jelly Jiggler grocery store scene as a boy, love this show and love this video :')
This show was a roller coaster of emotions but in a good way. When the stupidest thing can bring you to tears that's when you know you have a good show on your hands. 👍
Its you
Dump! It’s Johne!
Though he's blue wih no Afro, we love him all day, It's JJJ-J JJ-J!
Didn't expect to see you here, Johne
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.
What was part was it?
@@YOFACE9999 it was the part where Bobobo got his jacket I think.
@@mangamandrew There is so much context missing from this
@@JayTohab basically, between episode 50 and episode 5, there was a gap of time for the American release of the Bobobo-no Bo-Bobo. I had forgot about the show for that period of time and when I came back to watch it. I laughed at it so hard that I could hardly breath and had an asthma attack.
Bobobo was literally the only show when I was a kid where I would laugh hysterically, my mom thought something was wrong lol
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.
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.
One Piece is a decent mix.
@@honkworld9405 True, and One Piece was coming on the same time as this on Toonami back in the day, and One Piece just recently came back to Toonami...again lol.
Best part about this show was that him and Dio shared the same Japanese VA
Nice it’s all dio
nekomaru from danganronpa too.
Add onto the fact Dio's VA was in the long running franchise Pretty Cure countless times. First time in the first season: Futari wa as Nagisa's dad. And then in the DX movie trilogy as Fusion and finally in Happiness Charge as 1/3 of the generals: Oretsky
I mean it's a cool factoid but far from the best part lol
And his english VA is one of the biggest villains in Disney's Kingdom hearts series and Myotismon in Digimon.
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!"
I can never, ever forget this damn anime. It took up permanent residency in my 12 year old brain and never left.
"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 remember watching this show and thinking “Japan has realized we will just watch anything labeled ‘anime’ at this point...”
I would like to kindly suggest that you not disrespect the greatest Anime of all time like this.
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
He looks like killua though from hunter x hunter
Yes honestly
Hey that's me!
Similarly, I always thought Gasser looked really cool and would obsess over his design and outfit. Actually, I still think he has a cool design lmao
I was the same but for Beauty I wanted to be gasser but couldnt begin to explain🤣
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.
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?
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
I can accept The Rock and/or John Cena as Bobobo, but Kirk Thornton and Jamieson Price need to stay as Don Patch and Jelly Jiggler.

“When you were young” you fantasized over a film containing 2 of the great comedic actors of the past 5 years? You must’ve been an oddly foresightful child…
It's a shame the anime never had Yami Yugi make a cameo like the manga did.
You’re kidding 😂
Nope, yugi came out of bobobo's afro and summons slifer to defeat a foe
@@aricbasner8172 That's awesome.
@@aricbasner8172 The fact that it was a main arc villain is even better 😭😭
@@aricbasner8172 I think I can die happy now
The fact that both DIO and Joseph Joestar voice objectively the best versions of each character is incredible to me
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
True, but they did a really good job most of the time either coming up with a similarly clever pun in English or replacing it with a less clever but still hilarious non sequitur.
Bobobo introduced me to fever dreams in Saturday cartoon form. And I will forever be thankful for that
When the leak broke and he shouted, “that reminds me of my neck!” I’m pretty sure my neighbors heard me laughing
5:36 Peter Cullen as the announcer was perfect. Now we have Optimus Prime saying random shit
BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo existed just to make those who love absurdity aware of that love at a very early age.
_"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._
"30"? Oh, boy... It's almost DOUBLE that!
Fun Fact: The manga was already complete but the anime was cancelled due to parents complaining it was too violent
too violent? This is Japan we are talking about. Where Poppe the Performer is classified as a kids show.
Not violence, iirc it was parents finding the jokes offensive
Y'all are going to need to give more specific info. Maybe some decently reliable source or something that tells me you aren't just making it up? No offense.
@@hiddenflare6169 He's not making it up. No idea where it comes from, but that's always the reason listed for why it abruptly ended in Japan.
Wayamin
Some of the characters' reactions feel like they came straight out of JoJo
If I’m not mistaken, some of the JoJo voice actors were in the this show.
@@dynamickirby Yeah Richard Epcar AKA Old Joseph voices Bobobo in the dub and Takehito Koyasu AKA Dio voices Bobobo in the sub! Heck even Masaya Onosaka (Alessi's Japanese Va) voices Don Patch in the Sub also!
@@dynamickirby Also Wammu's english dub va voices Captain Battleship!
Jo jo jo jo jo
Jojojo-jo-jojo-jo
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'
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.
I noticed that online last year.
Where can I find their most recent progress?
Likewise, I have all of the anime episodes and need to know for closure.
The fact the voice actress for the girl with pink hair is the same voice actress that voiced Mimi in Digimon just feels right.
Hearing Genkai's voice coming from Torpedo Girl was like getting punched in the gut, but in a good way.
@@jeremyabbott4537 All I hear is OG Frieza.
@@comixproviderftw_02 Same VA lol
@@jeremyabbott4537 No I know. Just pointing it out.
@@jeremyabbott4537 Torpedo Girl is Birdramon and Garudamon (her VA's name is Melodee Spevack, btw).
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.
Id also recommend ai Mai mi, somera chan magical girl.
'nothing is true, everything is permitted' -the logic of this show's writing
Anything can happen. Anything is possible.
Time and space don’t exist.
On a flimsy ground of reality imagination spins out and weaves new patterns.
Strindberg
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
Wow never new
What

Why is a Heartless monster who kidnaps children and abuses them the voice actor for a man who uses his nose hair of all things to fight EVIL people? That just sounds unstable.
@@Argent_Void Also Old Joseph Joestar
@@Argent_Void A VA with range.
You’re kind of right. Epcar took over the role from Billy Zane, who voiced Ansem in the first game.
Also, Quinton Flynn (Axel) did some voicework for various background characters on this show.
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”
The scene where jelly jiggler has to interrupt because the vibrations of their voices are making him wobble, is fucking gold!
"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% 💀💀💀
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.
Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" paired suprising well with this show.
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.
Recommend ai Mai mi, somera chan magical girl
This show makes full use of the fact that it's made with animation.
Bobobo was peak entertainment for me in middle school and now I am contractually obligated to rewatch it every 3 years.
I feel that
The contract written in your soul?
“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.
Must be why the Japanese parents were angry about it
Publisher: so what are your plans for this series
The mangaka: yes
That moment you realize this is the closest we'll ever get to having Raiden and Shadow the Hedgehog in the same show.
Hell, the closest to a Death Battle between them.
Funny you mention Shadow the Hedgehog, since that Kirk Thornton, who also voiced Shadow.
@@robbiewalker2831 ... That was ops point, flynn also voices various characters in the dub 😂

@@ginichimaru001 Aren't they both in Kingdom Hearts? Don Patch is Saix and Bobobob is Ansem.
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.
28:43: “That’s a Green Onion!”
“IT IS?!?”
You dont understand how much this means to me this was my FAVORITE show as a kid
Still waiting for the “Billiam was so weird video”
But that's every video
That's the Half Million Sub Special!
Well he's not gone and he's still weird so...
This show was comedy gold. It was so over the top and I loved every minute of it. Really wished there was more episodes.
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.
This but instead of Mononoke I always vaguely remember Spirited Away
This show feels like its abridged on release. I love it.
Imagine trying to make an abridged version? If you tried, it'd probably not be as ridiculous as the original.
@@unfortunateimperial6019 I actually had an idea for this at one point, that instead you would "unabridge" the series, and instead play the whole thing completely straight as if it was never a comedy but instead a serious shonen.
@@kirkwilkins336 But like, just HOW?
@@the24thcolossusjustchillin39 literally just watch fist of the north star for the answer
@@kirkwilkins336 That sounds like the idea one would go with if they had to make an abridge series with this anime... Problem is ... How do you make it anywhere near entertaining as this show is? I mean how good could an actual execuation of that idea actually be?
i unironically think this show is the best shonen comedy ever made
That title will always be held by Gintama!
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 Anime Was A GIANT TROLL to ALL OTHER ANIME
Definitely the most bizarre thing I saw on toonami as a kid.
The creator of bobobo is a genius. It makes me sad the anime never finished
I feel that is the joke.
The manga that the anime was based on had been finished years back already.
Agreed. I wish the anime had a proper conclusion
@@SlapstickGenius23 it also had a sequel series.
@@B-rex395 What's its name?
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
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.
It’s a parody, how’d you miss that?
@@KanamoriKamper ... Yeah? Im talking about joke delivery, whats your point?
Bobobo is heavily improv...
The more jokes they have the more likely they'll have over that misses for someone
@@elgatochurro How is Bobobo improv? Its based on a comic
@@KotoCrash The Japanese puns wouldn't hit for a foreign audience. So they've had to improvise for puns and such for an English audience.
"Stinko de mayo" English and Spanish, specifically Americans would get this. Japanese wouldn't know that or that Americans and Mexicans know of each others holidays, as cinco de mayo is celebrated in USA too.
Clicked on this video so fast, not even
Bobobo’s nose hair could stop me
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.
"A well cooked steak, and pop-rocks"
I am both intensely intrigued and horrified by the concept
Fun fact. Pickles returned at the end of the series
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.
And Rider from Fate/Zero.
@@repulser93 and Orbot/Shadow in Sonic.
I mainly remember BoBoBo-Bo BoBo-Bo as that weird show that came on on Toonami before Naruto
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.
I think my favorite part about Bobobo is that every payoff feels so satisfying for some reason. It is like drunkenly sprinting through an obstacle course while being pelted with random objects from a crowd, but you always make it to the finish line and just feel so proud of yourself.
"Stinko de mayo" made me giggle far more than it should have. I am such a child.
Between this and Excel Saga, there was a part of my childhood dedicated to this incredibly bizarre category of ironic anime that has definitely played a major role in forming both my humour and chaotic, random energy as an adult.
I remember a friend showing the first episode to me when I was 13 or 14, and my little brain must have blue-screened like 7 times from not being able to comprehend the absurdity. I was too confused and perhaps mildly terrified to ever touch this show
but now as an adult, maybe I can give it another shot >:D
...after a shot or two of whiskey
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.
That explains a lot of the bizarre energy of this show
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
I found the artist comments from Shonen Jump by Bobobo's author, hilarious
1:45 that looks like the love child of goku, sonic, and Mike wazoski. 😂
I remember staying up all night watching Cartoon Network as a kid (Adult Swim in my country ended in 2007) and I happened to catch this show, either before or after Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
It... sure was something. I'll have to watch it properly. It sounds like an anime I can appreciate a lot more now!
This was the shonen parody before One Punch Man took the mantle, and it made my childhood.
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.
I remember the episode where they were in a tournament and Bobobo decides to randomly transform himself into a giant chicken nugget
I seen the thumbnail and I was like
"OOH HELLZ YEAH! BOBOBO WAS MY JAM"
I would watch him on adultswim all the time.
"Bobobo bo bobo bo is weird" is redundant and an understatement. I wish that the anime wasn't canceled as early as it was.
Every Billiam upload this year has given me tons of nostalgia. It's actually creepy how spot-on all his topics are. He's playing the Google Analytics game well!
You describe the show very well. I loved this series to bits and tried to catch it every time before bed on Saturday because it made me laugh so much.
Man, I legit felt like the only person who knew about this show. I always asked my friends who like anime about it, and none of them had ever heard of it, which was weird, because I know some of them also watched Toonami for DBZ, so they had to have seen the ad for it at least.
Good video my dude. And your one about Zatch Bell is about to be watched. Yet another show nobody seems to know about somehow....
Bobobobobobo is one of those series you truly never forget, i watched when it first aired and about a year ago it just came to my head outta no where, i fell nowadays it might trigger some people but in my opinion that makes it funnier
