Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

Easily the strangest thing I've ever seen on television is Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, a Japanese cartoon parody of Japanese cartoons. Now available for your viewing pleasure on YouTube:

Enjoy.

This is indeed the strangest and most unsettling thing I have ever seen, at least on a basic cable network. Except "Wonder Showzen".

It should be noted that in order to pronounce his name correctly, the "Bo" syllables followed by a hyphen are accented and elongated.

i've seen a couple animes and i wouldn't have known thats a parody.

Pretty strange, though not unique in its weirdness. Compare Ping Pong Club or Cat Soup.

What's with that one bomb-looking thing labelled "Phatman" about 2/3 of the way through? Is that a reference to "Fat Man," the second A-bomb that hit Nagasaki? Jeez.

Bo.
