I am a fan of OK K.O. Let's Be Heroes, but after hearing of this episode and watching it, this is another example of how even great shows are not without its fair share of bad episodes.
In this episode, a peddler comes to Lakewood Plaza Turbo and starts selling these skeleton remotes that can zap people and turn them into skeletons as a way to protect themselves, but soon, things get out of hand.
This episode has been met with a lot of controversy, because it has been seen as a musical propaganda for gun control. As the episode goes on, the peddeler, Gil Ferris, sells the remotes to Boxman's robots, and this gets the people mad, only for Ferris to sell them a new model skeleton remote. K.O. decides he has to stop this, and does a song to try to get rid of them, but the people refuse to comply and decide to hunt him down, leading to a shootout between him and Mr. Gar.
Thankfully, it was all a nightmare as K.O. wakes up, and he tells his mom, Carol, about the nightmare. At the end, Carol tells him if he is concerned about public safety, he should contact his congressman, which leads to the ending, where Congress Woman is hearing the pitch from Ferris, but after a phone call, she denies it and makes skeleton remotes illegal.
This is a horrible episode that basically serves as nothing more than propaganda for gun control laws. The characters act out of character and are shooting at each other with the remotes, which is how people who support gun control view the idea of guns, and when K.O. tries to make them stop, they are viewed as psychotic and unwilling to give up the devices to the point where it becomes open season on K.O. for his stance. And the ending is basically what the pro-gun control people want, and it shows the skeleton remotes being banned all because K.O. had a nightmare about them, which basically means guns should be feared, even if some people use them the right way.
This episode basically teaches a dangerous moral that should never be taught to children who watch Cartoon Network, and the two people who wrote the episode should be banned from writing episodes from the show.
