Does it hold up in 2026?

I still want the horse to fuck me

NORMAL
>>
>>221266590
No. It's not the type of show you rewatch. It's not episodic or fun and the main character is a shitbag.
>>
western animation has to settle for trash like this because it can't do complicated cinematography. even toddler anime rapes it.
>>
i don't like that they kept making him a worse and worse person. i'm neutral on his life basically getting better and better as that happened
>>
nope. edgy unc slopo
>>
>>221266686
That's what drug addicts are really like though. They're scumbags when they're high and they're scumbags when they're sober.
>>
The first two seasons were funny and contained my favorite 9/11 joke but later seasons got plain unfunny and dour.
>>
>>221266727
it just felt like torture porn, i guess if you want to confirm your views of people like that it's more compelling but ultimately it's taking beating a dead horse to the point of cliche. if they kept more of a season 1 status quo i would have enjoyed it more. in fact everyone says season 1 was not good because the show was finding its voice, but i probably enjoyed season 1 the most. it definitely went up its own ass for the popularity later on too
>>
>>221266686
yeah it got past the point of being interesting to me when it just became "look he's a piece of shit!" and then it did that every season times 10 more. hard to care about it
>>
>>221266772
Season 1 he was still getting high and drunk, without consequences, or without consequences that he cares about. Everything after that is his journey to sobriety which is torture porn because it's such a miserable experience for most people.
>>
It became kinda aimless in the later seasons.
They way they treated the whole "almost-had-sex-with-his-friend's-daughter" episode later on was just silly.
It was a fine enough situation, showing how pathetic and desperate he was in his want to be adored and loved. It was a really shitty thing to almost do.
But then they bring it up several times later and it's treated as if he had raped her. He keeps feeling horrible, the daughter panics when she sees him again, etc.
>>
>>221266590
The last season is really poorly setup but otherwise it's still a good rewatchable show. The whole plot point about BoJack waiting before calling the ambulance for Sarah Lynn never being mentioned was a bit silly
>>
>>221268214
Yeah, that was way overblown and wasn't even close to being the worst thing he ever did.
>>

This was intentional by the writer after seeing the positive response his journey was getting on Reddit. He didn't like that people were enjoying seeing him make positive changes so he changed one of the stories to show him strangle his co actress, then changed the story further to show a different outcome to the S3 arc.

The writer was salty as fuck that people were rooting for BoJack to get his shit together and spent another 2 seasons making him more of a scumbag even though the story at that point was moving towards maturity and healing.
>>
>>221266590
I enjoyed it, but I remember the sight gags pointing out that some of them are animals far more than I remember the drama and character arcs
>>
>>221266590
reddit: the show
>>
It's kinda fucked how Diane made the Bojack biography all about her and her experience with him and the show portrayed this as a good thing and not as narcissism that could rival Bojack's
>>
>>221266590
Yes, it has some great episodes and jokes, the only issue is that it tried too hard to be woke for half a season or so.
>>
>>221266727
He wasn't a drug addict until the writers made him an opioid addict in the final season to justify Bojack literally trying to kill a woman (because withdrawals or something). It was retarded writing.
>>
it doesn't even hold up for a 2nd watch desu
>>
with what the show is, it is too long. should have only been 4 seasons like wilfred. the plots got repetitive after too many seasons.
>>
>>221271043
Alcohol is a drug and he was drinking since the first episode. Normal words but a horse guy wasn't much of a show desu, somebody's journey through addiction and recovery made for a better show even if it is unwatchable the second time around.

>dude I'm so rich and depressed, I need like therapy or something

BUT

>>221270281
I always assumed the book she wrote was basically the in-universe equivalent of the show. People saw BoJack's actions from Diane's perspective and it made for an interesting story that made him relevant again. They do bring it up later, just not as an example of Diane's narcissism.
>>
>>221266590
s1/2 is okay when it's still a comedy and the writers didn't all get mad at the audience for finding Bojack funny/relatable and went out of their way to sabotage his character to make the audience hate him and got increasingly cartoonish (pun not intended) about it

>>221266772
it's just not really believable when the whole thing is this absurdist comedy with jokes like "Hollywoo" but now it gets to be a serious drama because we made him into a rapist at the 11th hour just to make sure the audience understands that he's irredeemably a bad guy forever

>>221270281
once the show became the "Bojack Horseman is bad" show none of the women could really be made into a subject of ire or held accountable anymore because Bojack was the only bad person on the show
>>
I remember my highschool buddy who was a drug addict without a dad telling me this show was so deep, and I always picture the fanbase to look like him
>>
>>221266685
meanwhile 99 percent of anime is just talking heads with 2 frames of animation for the mouth flaps lmoa

Seth Macfarlane has a trust fund and a band.

Good for him
>>
the only good characters i liked were princess caroline, she never complained, she just left and figured her life out, i liked that, and mr peanut butter, everyone else especially todd, was a massive self righteous faggot
>>
>>221276652
Todd was played by former actor Aaron Paul.

Keep sucking that Hollywood dick faggot

>Morning, sunshine....Why so gloomy, roomie?
>First of all, we're not roommates. You're my houseguest
>Well, we don't need to put labels on things
>You sleep on my couch and you don't pay rent. I've had tapeworms that were less parasitic. I don't even remember why I let you stay with me in the first place
>Because my parents kicked me out and I had nowhere to go, and even though you don't want anyone to know it, you secretly have a good heart
>You told me they didn't approve of your "alternative lifestyle". I thought you were like a troubled gay teen or something. I didn't realize by "alternative lifestyle" that you meant you were lazy
>That's on you for making assumptions. Also, if you're looking for the Toaster Strudles, I got really high last night and ate them all
>>
>>221276652
I watch for princess and bojack's father

>Multiple seasons of "everyone is fucked up in their own way but they should be supported if they're trying to change"
>"NOOOOOO how dare you sympathize with this character who's fucked up but trying to change! He deserves to die alone and miserable!"
Joker 2 syndrome. Retroactively soured the entire series for me.
>>
I absolutely loved it, but I have no desire to ever watch it again.

>>221276842
why the father, he's no different from the mother

i couldn't stand his whining voice
