Idk it would HAVE TO implode… and I’ve never thought about this before this very moment… but i think they’ve got a serious chance at sustaining their romantic relationship longer than Mr. PB’s previous marriages.

This would be in an alternate storyline where Bojack wasn’t annoyed with Mr. PB when they first met though, they’d have to be casual friends, not rivals, and then, one “stuck in an elevator” type of episode and BAM! Right in the kisser.

Nothing bad ever happens on the Labrador Peninsula!

It’s immediately what I caught onto, the first time through, surprisingly. Some of the things that I caught onto much later are more obvious though… like how Hank Hippopopalous was the first one to make the, “What is this, a crossover episode?” joke, back in the 90s at the award show party where they all 3 met. Mr PB loses his young Labrador mind at the clever quip, and he’s never let anyone forget how clever he thinks it is.

The eulogy episode really drove me nuts… I felt like it provided nothing. But with that one I wonder if I kinda already inferred a lot about that family, and I didn’t need that eulogy to fill out the storyline? Beatrice’s flashback episodes gave me so much. Her eulogy was just Bojack trying to get attention and asking HER questions. I’m just not a fan of that fake-chipper sarcastic cynicism. It’s overdone. But also… very Bojack. The whole entire show is very well thought out and very not cheesy, because when it’s cheesy, it’s supposed to be.

I think it’s the one piece of empathy she offers for Bojack. Like, I agree she is definitely telling Bojack he is trash. But she’s also saying, “I know how you feel. We always knew you’d be wealthy and talented, but there was no chance you’d ever be happy. Believe me, I know.”

I agree that it is also definitely a cop-out, because she implies that he was born broken, omitting accountability for she and Butterscotch’s cold, demeaning, callous (there are definitely more adjectives for them) parenting.

I think Bojack could’ve been any animal and they’d have thought of some wordplay for him. Like PC and her Jellicles hold music is gold… but I do think that horse is a good animal for him to be. I won’t elaborate, we all know, mostly.

Ugh seeing Mr. PB as a human just makes it too real for me. I can’t with him. The sweatpants, the oblivious attitude… I LOVE dogs. But the idea of an anthropomorphic one in sweatpants with the ability to invade my personal space and call me “[his] good friend” LOL I CANT

But yes, very good job, I hope people got the ref! And I hope your relationship stays as strong as not-Diane and Mr. PB’s! 🫶

Yeah, I mean, in their time apart she realized that them being friends wasn’t good for her. She hadn’t talked to him since his voicemails, and the process of dealing with that made her not want to be friends with him. This scene was the point that shows that she isn’t friends with Bojack anymore, and it’s her choice. If you don’t want to call it “breaking up” with him that’s fine I guess. Clearly by popular vote it’s decided.

It’s hard to imagine anyone having a “friend breakup” like that. You don’t need to break up with people you don’t live with and have intrinsic commitment to. It’s just Diane-y shit.

PICKLES.

The main reason I hate Rutabaga is because he calls her CAROLYN. Which is the theme of his entire personality: he just doesn’t care about anything but feeding his own ego.

I have met people like this in real life. They creep me out. They have this look in their eye while talking to people, like they’re just getting off on the hype they receive from the exchange.

Has anyone seen the movie, Sorry to Bother You? The “villain” in this movie has a deranged, sinister yet optimistic/innocent vibe to him, and that’s the type I’m getting at.

I’ve watched Bojack like 15 or more times and I don’t get it
