Video

i was watching BoJack with my mom a few weeks back and she was legit getting upset at how much she sees herself in PC ..

i would actually argue that the funeral parlor not being the correct one shows how separated from bojacks mother he feels. everyone in her life is a stranger to him because he doesn't truly know her. they both kept distance from each other to the point that neither of them knew who would show up to the others' funeral. even if he had been in the correct room, it would still be a group of strangers

I think Mr. Peanut Butter is one of the best characters in the show and i hate him terribly.

the funniest thing is that after watching this, i fell asleep and had a relatively disturbing dream that ended with my mother trying to lighten the mood by buying a tub/box of churros the dream itself had absolutely nothing to do with bojack horseman, just a typical trippy mess with one of my old primary teachers i just find it funny that this episode is all about bojack working through the fact that his now dead mother never ever loved him, and to stop clinging onto that hope because now it will never happen, only receiving a single god damn churro despite all of the shit that he has to now deal with (on that episode alone specifically) yet my dream was about my own mother, doing her best to aid me and be there for me despite anything else going on, the dream itself ending with at least 10 churros im not sure if the universe is trying to tell me something lol, but i had been having slight doubts about the extent of my mother's love due to events in the past but now its just made me think about it all again, and im gonna try and let go of what happened now. never thought bojack horseman would actually help me besides comfort, but here we are, and i sure as hell appreciate it.

This was such a fun episode to get to blind. I watched Bojack well after it ended but hadn’t really heard about it beforehand beyond “it’s good.” Got about 10 minutes in before my husband and I realized “wait a minute this has been going for a /while/… is this what the entrie episode’s going to be?” We were so completely engrossed in it it took us that long to even question it and it wasnt a complaint bc by that point it clearly hadnt worn out its welcome. It’s one of the genuinely strangest TV writing choices pulled off perfectly

Mr Peanutbutter always kinda pissed me off. It could be the fact that I'm a bit of a Diane in that it really bothers me that this absent-minded, privileged, unchanging guy can stumble upwards through life just by being a kind person, when being kind is never usually enough. I don't dislike HIM, but just the idea that he can always just be kind and funny and have that be enough to get him happily through life without really growing or changing for most of the show.

gosh, this video essay has proved me how similar I am to Mr. Peanutbutter even though i´ve tried to deny it for years hahahahahaha

Honestly with proper training I think Mr. Peanutbutter would make a great therapy dog. Seeing them become actual friends was really fun.

i see myself so deeply in diane, especially as an asian woman who struggled with depression and their family. the entirety of “good damage” sums up my current situation so well it feels strange to watch.

I love that there are so many moments during this monologue that, in a regular episode, would be where they cut away but they don’t. The first time I watched this episode I didn’t even realize it was the length of a normal episode I was captivated. Still one of my favorite episodes ever

I have a secret theory (that I haven't fully convinced myself of yet) that Mr. Peanutbutter is actually more savvy than he lets on. The one time I'm absolutely convinced of this is when he steals the "D" theft, so to speak. And I'm mostly there about Cordovia - like, to get out of being found out, he says to Diane, "You'll never believe this, but there's someone here that looks EXACTLY like you!" Just food for thought! 🤔

The worst thing Bojack did was fail Sarah Lynn. He failed to step up for so many people. But I think he was uniquely in a position to help Sarah Lynn. Other people , both main cast and peripherals, were able to understand that Bojack wasn't able to contribute and search for other venues to meet their needs. With Sarah Lynn, there is a sense that she is just waiting around, doing shit she doesn't care about until Bojack shows up again.

Also the Int. Sub thing was insanely bad on Diane's part because she does not consider the feelings of the victims at all. Same as those with Hank Hippopopolis. it sucks that justice isn't dished out, but Diane kind of puts being "right" over what would be the best for women in that scenario. Imagine how mortified Penny would be after the episode aired. She wouldn't be the only one who knew about it- Pete Repeat seems to know. And not only that, she would think BOJACK was the one who introduced the story. Because who else knows?

this episode perfectly articulated so many feelings i had after my mom passing.

I enjoyed this season but... Have VERY mixed opinions about it! They've upped the gore... Violence... And sexual innuendo but, that alone isn't enough to keep the vast majority of viewers hooked to this show! And as for ALL those superfluous story lines? Frenchie...? Kimiko...? Hughie's Dad? Were they REALLY necessary to the overall plot of the show? That insane and over-the-top stuff with those V'ed up farm animals, was also another WTF moment. Funny? Sure... I guess! But they've done this kind of stuff WAY better in previous seasons! Like that laser-eyed baby in Season One! Anyway... There was enough in this season's tank, to keep me going. Only because I am intrigued to see how they end this show in the next and final season. And yes.... I'm glad they're going to final wrap this great show up! Before they run it into the ground like Game of Thrones!!

People tend to hate on Mr Peanutbutter, and yeah there are some good reasons to do so, however as a friend, he is untouchable. The dog is a pillar of strength and support. If he didn't get so distracted, he'd be the perfect companion

It does feel sad how hollyhock leaves Bojack, and I do really think that Bojack could've been better towards her, but it's only natural all this would happen ESPECIALLY after Beatrice drugged her.

He wasn't a villain, he was based....

0:00 Ugh. I hate when people say that. "Here's the thing." Just say the thing. You don't need to introduce the concept that there's going to be a thing.

Semi jealous of mr peanut butter. Always finding a way to be positive seems tiring af. Im not depressed but more of someone whos default state is calm and content. Some nice happyness spikes and the ability to kill sadness with a nap. But like I said mr peanut butter has an actual superpower.

Please do Diane and Guy! They’re amazing together and I love Guy!

I swear that if this show had gone on for longer, BoJack and Mr. Peanutbutter would have had gay sex on screen multiple times.

I just wanted to tell the creator/s behind this channel, that I really love your content especially about bojack horseman. This series has been there for such a long time and there is still so much to talk and think about. I really enjoy listening to your takes and theories on the stories and characters. This is basically everything I wanted to say. (you also deserve this comment and every possible interaction for the algorithm, sadly thats the only way I can currently support this content) Please continue to make Bojack Horseman content ❤

You made me love, Mr. peanut butter, and I used to really not like him. I found him annoying, but you're so right about everything you said. I see him in a new light. Thank you for your videos

You seem to have misspelled boyfriend.

This video made me wanna put everything else on hold and watch bojack again…

1:19 FFVII Victory Music. Beautiful. NO NOTES ♥

Thank you so much for mentioning Mr. Peanutbutter's stepping in with Gina. I always found that moment so important.

PC and Beatrice - Two sides of a motherhood coin. Both grew up in a rather dysfunctional family, with both their biggest parental figures (mom of PC and dad of Bea) doing their damnest to demean and put down their child. Yet outcome is different. PC wanting to be a mother, failing to become one time and time again, being a working mother with good ethics of support and kindness to others. Bea detesting being a mother, having a child out of pure accident on her first try, despising work and not valuing hardship of others and being openly hostile, without an ounce of support.

I really enjoy your work; it's amazing to me that your channel is so recent and so on point. Thanks for another great video!

real

I honestly think PB's negative traits like his flighty-ness, distractibility and forgetfulness makes him the friend Bojack needs at the end of the series. His relationships with Diane, PC and Todd failed because they became enmeshed, Diane and PC especially feeling the burden of having to emotionally support and help him all the time. PB will never carry Bojack's burdens for him. He might try but he'll put them down for a moment and forget them, however that'd always been BJ's work to do if he wants to progress. What PB will do is BE there, not at Bojack's beck and call but regularly. He'll pick him up from prison and give him a place to stay. I think there's an honest criticism you could make of PB's willingness to associate with Bojack after he knows what he did, reflective of how he'll overlook uncomfortable issues as long as they're ignorable. However I also think people NEED that kind of human (dog) contact, and I don't think you can expect people to do better without it. Those day to day relationships ground you and the fact that someone's there to check in physically or notice if something's seriously wrong is important. Helping PB with his issues and giving him advice also gives Bojack someone else to focus on, and that itself can be helpful in getting you out of your head. They won't make each other better, but maybe friendships aren't meant to do that. I think what they can do is provide the structure and stability for each other to work on themselves.

Excellent analysis

Bojack's betrayal of Herb was wrong. By any reason, however, why should the character risk his career for someone that damaged their's? Herb has some right to be upset but for him not being bigger than his character in contrast of Bojack's makes him look like an asshole when the horse comes knocking.

The fact that PB of all people gave him Cpr while he was drowning while everyone else stood idly by.

I think you've sold me on the Mr. Peanut Butter & Bojack platonic ship.

they should’ve explored each other’s bodies

I like that at the beginning BoJack seemed more famous, but near the end it is implied that Mr. Peanut Butter is more famous and has a bigger exhibit in a museum.

I hate the decision of bojack destroying the old sugarman house... Imagine how connecting it would be if bojack would take bea here for her last months of life. Even for hollyhock

its really funny that starting out, everyone expects bojack and diane to get together or at least hook up at some point but he just ends up making out with her husband on live television

Something to add to this is that Mr. Peanut butter grew up in an environment where he was surrounded with nothing but love, so even if he doesn’t go about it in the best way, his care and support for others is nearly unconditional.

Now I'm thinking: What would've changed if Bojack had befriended Mr. Peanutbutter earlier in his career? Would Bojacks life have been better? Or would Bojack make PB's life worse (like he does with the others he considers his "friends")? 🤔

I also love how Butterscotch describes his flowstate because it also foreshadows that the book would probably not turn out great, the extremely long sentence going on for pages and pages would be unbearable, but Butterscotch seems to have convinced himself he's James Joyce

What about cuddly whiskers? When they work on The Bojack Horseman Show. We don’t see much of their interactions but I think it it’s also very telling.
