Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is the funkiest, quirkiest, most outrageous character you'll ever meet. Using his golden Afro and 5-foot nose hairs as weapons, the series takes place in the year 300X, when a tyrannical emperor, Csar Baldy Bald 4th, seeks to prove his authority over the people by waging a “Hair Hunt,” aimed at taking the hair of all the citizenry. In “To Be or Snot to Be” Bo-Bobo, Don Patch and Beauty encounter the Mean Greensoup Alien and theatrical madcap mayhem ensues. “Pasta…The Perfect Food!” has Bo-Bobo busy learning to become a Pasta Prima Donna, while Beauty and Don Patch get zapped by Gechappi's infamous Hair Loss Beam. In “Queen Chicken Level and the Video Store of Dumb” Bo-Bobo, Don Patch, and Beauty storm C-Block Headquarters to find the antidote for the Hair Loss Beam, but the place isn't exactly what it seems. Finally, with “We All Scream for Ice Cream!” Bo-Bobo and the gang, still on the hunt for the Hair Loss antidote, encounter the mysterious ice-cream dude named Softon.
