* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Kitty Bobo's friends clearly don't like him very much since his very presence just seems to make them grumpy. Maggie in particular hates the idea of having to go to the movies alone with him.

* AllThereInTheManual: The pitch presentation reveals information that gives context to the pilot episode, such as Monkey Carl always being called as such because there also would be another donkey character named Carl, so everyone calls them Monkey Carl and Donkey Carl to keep them apart.

''A Kitty Bobo Show'' did not win the contest.

Instead, the show that would be ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' won. And the rest was history.

''A Kitty Bobo Show'' is a failed television pilot about a cat named Kitty Bobo living in a city full of anthropomorphic animals. It has a paper-like aesthetic. The only episode ever produced was "Cellphones", in which the titular character gets his first cellphone.

Despite it only ever having one 8-minute episode, the short still interests people to this day due to its original look, [[ValuesResonance still relevant jokes]], and a curiosity of WhatCouldHaveBeen.

I assume this is referring to Maggie. In that case, she's not pink, it's just that the only footage of the short is a bit faded, making her look so.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: The short stars a cat whose parents are two dogs. It's unclear if dogs can have cats in this universe, if he's adopted, or if one of them is a step-parent.
** When bringing this cartoon up at a convention panel, Creator/DanteBasco [[WordOfSaintPaul stated]] that Kitty Bobo was adopted, and this would have been eventually revealed if the show had ever gotten off the ground.

* FingerlessHands: The characters have paws yet can use them like hands.
* FurryFemaleMane: The female characters have hair but the males don't.
* StatusCellphone: The pilot's plot revolves around Kitty Bobo buying a new cellphone just when cellphones were becoming mainstream. He spends the entire episode flaunting his phone around and being obnoxiou about it.
* TotallyRadical: Kitty Bobo has such wonderfully 2000s lines like "I figured it'd be cool to have so I could, like, call my homies when I'm on the go". Considering Kitty Bobo's tryhard personality, it might be intentionally ironic.
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: The short takes place in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals.
