Kitty Bobo’s True Colors

A Kitty Bobo Show is an American animated pilot that was on Cartoon Network On August 17, 2001. The pilot revolves around the eponymous character, Kitty Bobo, as he tries to prove his coolness to his friends. I encountered something dark with this cartoon sometime in winter 2018. I was in a goodwill store to buy some Xbox 360 games, because that store normally had a well stock of Retro Games. However, I strolled over to the VHS section in the back, just then remembering that I owned a VCR. One of the first things I saw was the ABC News VHS tapes, the one that came in 2 tapes but it was in one dust cover.

I thought that it would be a good footage for me to look at myself. To ensure that the tapes would be functional, I took one of the tapes out of the dual VHS dust cover, only to see something unexpected. It was a VHS tape with a note sticker on it. Written in marker was "A Kitty Bobo Show 8/17/2001". I inspected the other tape, and it said "Kitty Bobo’s True Colors 3/24/2006". I assumed it was the new unaired episode. I did not know why one 7-8 minute cartoon took two VHS tapes, but I was curious. I bought the two tapes for $1.11. When I got home, nobody was there but me. Therefore, I had to take up the painstaking process of uncoiling the stiff coax cables and the bulky VCR. I soon tuned the TV to channel 3, and began viewing Kitty Bobo’s True Colors.

The episode started with a brief cold opener which had the pickle man from Pickle Surprise talking to the screen. "Hey, have you seen my pickles?" The pickle man asked even though he was already wearing them. He was likely high on toast an age old tactic taught to him by his grandfather. A weird man I might add. Anyways after this the clip then aprubtly ended and the episode started with Kitty Bobo sitting at his kitchen table making a sandwich. He held the sandwich up to the screen and had it semen all over it. "It's just cum it's not gonna kill you!" Bobo laughed evily. He laughed like this for a good ten seconds.

The episode then cut to Bobo having a soda outside with Monkey Carl, Paul Dog, and Graffiti. Also Bobo looked angry. I mean proper angry. His face was redder than ever. Maggie then came up to Bobo and said, "Bobo please help me get the groceries out of the car." This caused Bobo to yell, "shut the fuck up!" He then proceeded to hit Maggie in the chest and laughed as she fell to the ground in pain. "Bobo what are the hell are you doing?" Carl asked as Bobo then turned his attention to his three friends. "You better run better run my own shotgun." Bobo sang as he pulled out an Hi-Point 995 Carbine. "Oh shit bro we better run!" Graffiti cried as he, Paul, and Carl all ran down the street with Bobo chasing them down in his car.

Graffiti ended up getting run over and killed by Bobo meanwhile Carl and Paul reached a department store that look like Target and hide inside the store. Bobo hissed at the sight of the store and refused to follow Carl and Paul inside even though it would be very easy for him to do so. With that Bobo returned home only to find a large group of police officers waiting for him led by Chris Rock. "You're coming with us Mr Bobo." Rock said as Bobo yelled, "you'll never take me away!" Bobo attempted to charge towards Chris only to get knocked out by fellow officer "Weird Al" Yankovic. Weird Al punch Chris in the face but then again everybody hates Chris get it? Oh shut up I know you do. I can see that look on your face.

The screen then transitioned to show Bobo inside a jail cell mumbling things under his breath. He was then given his new cellmate who was none other than his dad Mr. Bobo himself. "Dad what are you doing here?" Bobo asked as his dad proceeded to explain that the Ethane was a sham all along and he was getting his gas from Target all along. When his dad asked Bobo why he attacked Maggie and murdered Graffiti, Bobo proceeded to explain that Maggie had become quite cosy with inside of a restaurant and arch nemesis Pochee's Diner. He also learned from his far friend Lammy Lamb whom had recently gotten a job at Target that Graffiti was getting his gas from them all the time. This act of betrayal from Graffiti was unforgiveable in Bobo's mind which is why he had to kill him. This was also why he had not followed Carl and Paul into the store.

his dad then said, "we gotta get out of here Bobo." "Not this time old boi." Bobo said as he proceeded to shoot his dad in the chest with a handgun he had somehow smuggled into the prison. Bobo then proceeded to summon Shaq the Rapping Genie from Kazaam who helped Bobo teleport back to his house.

Arriving back at the house, Bobo went into his room and pulled out several large cans of gasoline. "Bobo what are you doing?" His mother Mrs. Bobo asked and Bobo then pointed at her and said, "this is a slut." Bobo allowed her mom to accompany her to Target where Bobo's ultimate extreme revenge would be taking place. While driving towards the store, Bobo laughed evilly to himself.

Suddenly the episode cut to a brief clip of Max Headroom talking about a new show he was planning on making. "Picture this: I play an undercover agent of Lay’s Potato Chips and have go undercover inside Frito-Lay Headquarters." It then showed Max trying to act undercover and gain information on Frito-Lay's recipes and any sinister squidy secrets they may have up their sleeves. Then another clip came on screen which showed John Madden eating Axe’s Chocolate Man. Yeah actual cannibalism because madden has a serious problem. Send Maury Povich and his camera crew down here pronto!

So after that the episode FINALLY came back to show Bobo and his mom arriving at Target with Bobo removing the cans of gasoline from the trunk of his car. "This is it mom you ready for this?" Bobo asked as his mom simply replied with, "I love boloney too son." Bobo and his mom began pouring gasoline all around the building and Lammy Lamb took notice. "Kitty Bobo what are you doing?" Lammy asked as Bobo threw a disc at her cutting her head off clean. "Whoa that was close." Bobo sighed as he and her mom finished pouring gasoline onto the floor of the mart.

At that moment, Monkey Carl and Paul Dog showed up carrying shotguns. "Bobo!" Carl yelled angrily before continuing with, "you killed Graffiti and now we're gonna kill you too!" "No you’re not!" Bobo yelled as he threw a lit lighter at the store causing it to go up in flames. "No not Target!" Paul cried as Bobo said to his mom, "now we deal with PaRappa Rappa."

Carl and Paul were so emotional over Target's destruction that they failed to notice Bobo and his mom fleeing the scene in their car. Arriving at PaRappa's house, Bobo produced some bombs from thin air and used them to set fire to the house killing PaRappa and only PaRappa because his friends were on holiday in Japan. A holiday which Bobo himself had paid for in order to get them out of the house. PaRappa had fallen ill on the night before the flight due to Bobo’s spiking his food with ass sauce.

With PaRappa dead, Bobo began dancing and returned home grabbing a soda to celebrate. His celebration was cut short when Bobo heard a knock at the door. Opening the door, he was confronted by Monkey Carl and Paul Dog who said, "first Graffiti and now PaRappa. When does this end Bobo? After you've assassinated the Government?" Carl asked. "Nope! This is the end." Bobo said as Carl and Paul made their way inside the house. Bobo sat down in the living room with Carl and Paul before saying, "I killed Graffiti and my dad and PaRappa and burnt down Target but I have my reasons. They were all not using ethanol. Turns out Ethane was a sham all along. I should of seen it sooner."

Carl proceeded to eat candy before saying, "Mop, mop, mop All day long Mop, mop, mop While I sing this song!" "What?" Bobo asked as Carl proceeded to run outside. "What is he doing?" Bobo asked as he got up from the sofa and followed Carl outside where he saw Carl stealing his motorcycle once again. Carl proceeded to drive the motorcycle down the streets with Bobo jumping on top of Paul's shoulders. "After him!" Bobo yelled as Paul responded with, "uh okay." Paul and Bobo chased Carl down the streets until Carl was ran over by a ryder truck killing him and destroying Bobo's motorcycle in the process. Bobo simply shrugged before saying, "ah whatever I can always get another one."

Bobo then invited Paul around for dinner and Paul smiled an incredibly cheesy smile. This time there was dinner for Paul Dog and he was going to enjoy it. With that the episode ended with the normal credits. I took the tape out of the VCR and then proceeded to throw it in the trash. I was actually kind of laughing on the inside at the fact that the show was playing the regular ending credits, after all that stuff happened. I was really more confused and freaked out at it. I went on some forums, but found nothing about this episode. However, I came across someone on Reddit who had a similar occurrence as me. They received a similar tape at a local thrift shop, a place about 20 miles away from where I got mine. I managed to get on AIM with this person, but I got no answers.

If you have more information about this tape please let me know.
