The Bobo Brothers (or just Bobos) (Theoretical names: Seymour Bobo and Philip Bobo) are twin spider monkeys that are always causing trouble (although unintentionally). They serve as Go, Diego, Go!'s equivalent of Swiper. Their first appearance is in the episode "The Rescue of the Red Eyed Tree Frogs".

Appearances

Trivia

• The Bobo Brothers usually laugh around saying "Bobos! Bobos!" when they first appear which is the equivalent of Swiper’s rustling.
  • This isn't the case in Freddie the Fruit Bat Saves Halloween, where instead they say, "Boo! Boo!" because they dressed up as ghosts for Halloween.
  • It all goes down to their voice actor Jose Zelaya, who also voiced Disco Star (who said "Disco! Disco!" when Dora caught him in "The Fix-it Machine") and Baseball Star (who said "Baseball! Baseball!" when he first appeared and Boots caught him in "Baseball Boots").
  • Their call is also similar to the Turkeys saying "Pavo! Pavo!" in A Crown for King Juan el Bobo.
• The Bobo Brothers say, "Oops/Whoops, sorry!" when they are stopped which is the equivalent of Swiper saying, "Oh, man!".
  • Speaking of their catchphrase ("Oops/Whoops, sorry!"), this was first used by Boots in the Dora the Explorer episode, Dora, La Música, when Boots pulls on the Singing Gate's "nose" and he apologizes by saying "Oops, sorry!".
  • Also, despite the Bobos not appearing in Egyptian Camel Adventure, the student camels said "Oops! Sorry, teacher!" after their teacher, Jamal, calmed them down.
• Like Swiper, the Bobos occasionally steal or swipe things like him (but in different ways), and they fool around when they're not supposed to.
  • In The Mommy Macaw, they stole bananas out of a banana tree and ate most of them before Mommy Macaw was going to get some for her babies.
    • Coincidentally, they are monkeys, and monkeys like to eat bananas, just like scarlet macaws.
  • In The Great Jaguar Rescue, they stole Baby Jaguar's growl.
    • It was later revealed that the reason they stole Baby Jaguar's growl was because every time they try to growl like jaguars, they always end up making monkey sounds.
  • In The Tapir's Trip Home, they stole Chucho the Train's whistle, but eventually give it back.
• Diego stops them by saying "Freeze, Bobos!", which is the Go, Diego, Go! equivalent of "Swiper, no swiping!".
• Whereas Dora sometimes successfully stops Swiper and sometimes fails to stop Swiper, Diego always successfully stops the Bobo Brothers. Therefore, the Bobo Brothers don't have any catchphrases that are the Go, Diego, Go! equivalent of Swiper's "You're too late! You'll never find it/them/the/your/that/those [stolen object(s)] now".
• Like Swiper, who isn’t a true villain as he's just sneaky, the Bobo's aren’t considered true villains, they’re just having fun and tend to reveal their good sides in some episodes.
• Similar to Swiper, they are somewhat sneaky, as they somehow end up at random places that Diego is going to.
• The Bobo Brothers never appeared in Dora the Explorer, but they did appear in two episodes of Dora and Friends: Into the City!.
• The Bobo Brothers are voiced by Jose Zelaya, the same voice actor for Tico (Seasons 2-4), Ice Cream Truck, Disco Star, Baseball Star and Jack O'Lantern from Dora the Explorer.
• In Diego Saves Christmas, it is revealed that they don't want to be on the naughty list despite doing all those silly antics and unintentionally causing Diego and Alicia trouble on their missions.
  • Because of this, Santa Claus forgave the Bobos by giving them presents.
  • Speaking of the naughty list, they were not seen on it nor the nice list, not even when Santa Claus put Swiper on the naughty list in Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure for all his swiping.
    • The Bobos not being on the naughty list could be justified as almost all of their silly antics are unintentional, unlike Swiper, whose own antics are usually intentional.
• In their debut episode, "Rescue of the Red-Eyed Tree Frogs!", Diego had to clap three times before saying "Freeze, Bobos!" to stop them. That is the only episode where this happens. All the rest of them, they stop them immediately.
• In Diego and Porcupine Save the Piñata, it is revealed that the Bobos love parties including birthday parties.
• There are some animals that the Bobos are afraid of:
  • In The Iguana Sing Along, it is shown that the Bobos don't like coyotes.
  • In To Babysit a Bobo, the Bobos show that spider monkeys are afraid of pumas.
• Due to never appearing in Dora the Explorer, they also never went to the big events like the Friendship Day party in Dora's World Adventure! and Dora's birthday party in Dora's Big Birthday Adventure.
• In Diego's Great Dinosaur Rescue, they were replaced with the Honking Edmontosauruses.
  • It is possible that the Honking Edmontosauruses may be the prehistoric counterparts of them and Swiper.
• They draw noticeable parallels to Mojo Jojo from the Powerpuff Girls
