Bye Bye BOJACK
FHM Australia|March 2020
When the Netflix exclusive cartoon Bojack Horseman was first announced, many wrote it off as just another cartoon featuring silly characters getting up to silly things. Yet over its incredible 6 season run, Bojack Horseman proved to be so much more than just a silly cartoon with anthropomorphic animal characters. It was a show that was not afraid to tackle some serious issues, from depression, death and struggling with one’s own inner demons, but would also delve into the ridiculous and often hilarious situations. So as we say goodbye to our favorite horse from that famous 90’s TV show, we take a look at some of the best moments from the 6 season run.

Bye Bye BOJACK
Time’s Arrow

Season 4, Episode 11

In 1963, young socialite Beatrice Sugarman meets the rebellious Butterscotch Horseman at her debutante party.

Why it’s amazing: Mother to our anti-hero Bojack, Beatrice Sugarman was always portrayed as an uncaring, borderline evil mother. This episode, however, delves into the who and why of Beatrice. Haunted by the memory of her lobotomized mother and callous, emotionally dead father, Beatrice’s mental state wafts back and forth between the past and present. The reinforced parallels between her and her son’s torrid upbringings make painfully clear the ways the sins of our fathers, and mothers, repeat themselves; as it turns out, BoJack is more like his mother than he’d want to admit.

Out to Sea

Season 2, Episode 12

The important things in life become clear to BoJack when Todd moves out to join the improv comedy group on their special cruise ship.

Why it’s amazing: Coming hot off the heels of the Bojack’s incredibly misjudged trip to New Mexico, Todd moves out for good to join up with his new improv group, a group that is taking full advantage of Todd’s naivety. BoJack realizes that he has to save his best friend, noting in a touching monologue that letting Todd stay with him was the best thing he ever did. It was a wonderful turn from a character that up to this point has done one bad deed after another. Bojack realizing that his best friend was in trouble and for a change decided to a selfless act proved that there are more levels to the self-centered actor. It would also be the last good deed Bojack would commit for a very long time.
