Bonzi Buddy (TV series)

Bonzi Buddy is a British television program about an UnAmerican purple gorilla brought into the spotlight by a Swedish internet streamer. It centers around the titular Bonzi Buddy, a purple gorilla of ambiguous morality who goes on adventures. Actually, hold on a second. Saying that the main characters, "go on adventures" is such a stupid and clichéd way to describe something! I checked Nick on Demand the other day and nearly every cartoon mentioned adventures in their descriptions. We might as well say the plot to Better Call Saul is Saul Goodman going on adventures! It really is so annoying, but with how ubiquitous that description is, I find myself asking: is there any other way?
Anyway, the show began in 2015, is rated TV-14 for language and violence, and airs on weekends at Nickelodeon, what a coincidence! You may be thinking, "Oh jeez! they have to go up against spunch bop and BLARG!", but that's okay. Nickelodeon is the only channel UnAnything: The Series doesn't air on, so Bonzi Buddy is secure for now. The funny thing is that the pilot episode actually was an episode of the infamous Teletubbies reboot, in turn a sequel to the episode G Na Bat Tuh Lea Nie, where the Teletubbies must mentor him in the ways of evil to impress the Illuminati. G Na Bat Tuh Lea Nie is also considered the finale to the Wonder Pets series. Trippy...
== Developement ==
Not too long after G Na Bat Tuh Lea Nie was filmed, an interview with Bonzi revealed that he really enjoyed starring in the episode. Apparently, he hinted that the episode afterwards was to be, "featuring more of your favorite purple ape, me!". The Teletubbies said that if he ever approached the Home Dome again, they will force feed him Pilk until he vomits out his vital organs. Henceforth, Bonzi had to be sneaky and crafty and stuff.
The following episode was to be called, "ARG me Mateys!", and would center around the Teletubbies discovering a Pirate themed ARG via the Boom Beach app. However, Bonzi Buddy hijacked the Tubby Phone before recording so that he could make every download button on the app store give BonziBUDDY instead of the app advertised. When he escaped the phone during filming, he flew away on a surfboard. the camera worker was distracted and followed Bonzi Buddy, thus making the whole episode about him.
Bonzi Buddy then paid five different Skinwalkers that looked like him to produce a show based around him. so they did, what subserviant little malevolent spirits!
