Oh god this episode gave us such a painful look into the psyche of Bojack, and it is sad...This could have been the finale of season 1 and I would not have batted an eye. If you want to see the next episode's reaction right now, check out our Patreon: www.patreon.com/semblanceofsanity
The episode that really cemented in my mind the transition from “haha funny horse show” to “Oh, this is gonna make me think about my own life now, huh”
I was thinking about this recently. How often do we think about the quality of the acting in an animated show? Almost never. But this show is so well thought out and written and acted that it’s impossible not to admire the work done by everyone involved
I love the parallel between the scenes with young Bojack hiding under the table from his mother, and the episode 3 scene with Sarah Lynn hiding under the table from Bojack
"Please, I need you tell me I'm good...." *silence* hits like a fucking truck, just like "I was just thinking how nice it would have been if you had chosen this life"; people who've had depression, anxiety, or self-loathing can feel those 2 moments reverberate deep in your soul
The treading water discussion hit me really hard, in realising I've basically been living a smaller scale version of bojacks mental state the past couple years, stuck just trying not to drown and getting good at presenting a healthy outward mask due to parental pressure to succeed creatively
Will Arnett is gonna prove that he's a damn good voice actor many times over the course of the series. But honestly, Will as Bojack might be the greatest VO performance of all time.
I don't think there is a single episode 11 / penultemate episode that doesn't just make me sob, fuck you funny horse show. She "how nice this could have been if you HAD chosen this life", the giggle of the child he never had when he's waiting for Diane's answer, the whole idea of is it too late for me? I'm a therapist, who has had their fair share of self-reflective struggles, and this show FUCKS ME UP. I've watched it begining to end probably at least 5 times, and watched people react to it over and over, this show is an absolute masterpiece, I don't think anything quite like it has ever been made before. You guys are perfect for it by the way, your reflections are bang on, I love seeing reactors who truly GET it, and I can't wait for the rest of this (fancy giving us two episodes a week...? ;) )
So after watching this episode , my view of this show had gone from " This is an interesting sit-com, through 'oh this isn't a sit-com, it's a dramedy ' and finally 'OMG this is genius '" A remarkable, unique show And it still gets better
Bojack's vision of living in Maine with Charlotte reminds me a lot of Griffith's vision of settling down with Casca. A modest life that could've been, in a small cabin with a family
If you guys thought this episode was something else on Bojack psyche. I seriously can't wait for ya'll to get much further into the later seasons of this show that goes and dive much deeper into Bojack flaws also major faults as a character. Man, I'm so glad you guys are finally watching this series at last.
one of my favorite things about watching you both is both your excitement towards ANY series you watch AND how much you analyze things, even if it doesn't truly need that much thought behind it. BUT MY FAVORITE, is that you speak to the characters as if they are real people, like you are talking directly to them. It means alot for some reason and I appreciate it so much
I'm soo glad you're watching this, it is rare to see people doing such a deep analysis from this show and yours is so on point I feel like you're lying about this being your first time watching Bojack lol
Bojack didn’t have trouble getting women, he just sneezed on Marissa Tomé. I think it’s just a random joke and maybe slightly symbolic about he might be careless or inconsiderate around women. He ended up falling off the balcony too and got hurt pretty bad as shown in a flashback in one of the first episodes
I think Bojack is projecting his mother on Diane especially. They are both kind of mean women who don't hold back on their words. Maybe that is why he seeks for her approval so much. Also that may also be why he was so upset about the book. Because he wants Diane to see him as a successful and put together person, just like how he wants his mother to see him in that way
I remember an interview with Will Arnett... Where he said he made the show's creator , Raphael Bob Waksburg, promise to pay for his therapist once the show had finished. I think he was joking.....🙄🙄🤔🤔
I may not be smart, academically gifted person with some impressive career but goddamn, at least I make good, wise life choices and treat people in my life very well. But still, this is hard to watch and really makes you take a long hard look at yourself.
@ciolake4136 you don't know that, why do people keep saying this. hope for what, what did you imagine by that word, maybe what he hoped for truly is not attainable anymore, you don't know the circumstances. you can definetly say there is hope, but not always and not for everything, for example, - SPOILERS - there's no hope for bojack to fulfill the dream with charlotte.
have you guys ever seen better call saul? you seem very into the psychological side of things, i feel like your commentary would be amazing. love these reactions, thanks for doing them 🙏 ❤ 🙏

Man it’s haunting to hear two people watching the show blind optimistically talk about this episode like it could be Bojack’s lowest point.
"What are you thinking about?"
"oh, just how nice things could've been if you had chosen this life."
chills.
The episode that really cemented in my mind the transition from “haha funny horse show” to “Oh, this is gonna make me think about my own life now, huh”
Saaaame
Will Arnett voices Bojack so effin' incredible. The way his voice breaks as he keeps begging hurts so much to listen to.
I was thinking about this recently. How often do we think about the quality of the acting in an animated show? Almost never.
But this show is so well thought out and written and acted that it’s impossible not to admire the work done by everyone involved
@@chrisgreen8803 "how often do we think about the quality of the acting in an animated show?"
Have you never ever seen an anime??
@@AllTheArtsy I was thinking of western animation
He should have gotten an Emmy for his voicework, especially in the last seasons
Bro what shows do you watch where you never think about the quality of voice acting@@chrisgreen8803
I love the parallel between the scenes with young Bojack hiding under the table from his mother, and the episode 3 scene with Sarah Lynn hiding under the table from Bojack
Bit of a stretch. Sarah Lynn herself wasn't hiding from Bojack though, her character was.
@@Squiddyize I’m thinking in the generational trauma way.
Bojack had exactly the same bad attitude his mother had
"Please, I need you tell me I'm good...."
*silence*
hits like a fucking truck, just like "I was just thinking how nice it would have been if you had chosen this life"; people who've had depression, anxiety, or self-loathing can feel those 2 moments reverberate deep in your soul
The treading water discussion hit me really hard, in realising I've basically been living a smaller scale version of bojacks mental state the past couple years, stuck just trying not to drown and getting good at presenting a healthy outward mask due to parental pressure to succeed creatively

I'm still surprised he got thru all of Free Churro and not once did it feel boring
Bojack's imaginary daughter looked like his mother Beatrice. I think that's really interesting.
Lesson of the episode: If you are going to do drugs, do them at home with friends that way they can help you complete work.
I'm happy you guys liked the first "drug episode "
I don't think there is a single episode 11 / penultemate episode that doesn't just make me sob, fuck you funny horse show.
She "how nice this could have been if you HAD chosen this life", the giggle of the child he never had when he's waiting for Diane's answer, the whole idea of is it too late for me?

Dianne not answering at the end of the episode is one of the most brutal endings in television I feel.
So after watching this episode , my view of this show had gone from " This is an interesting sit-com, through 'oh this isn't a sit-com, it's a dramedy ' and finally 'OMG this is genius '"
A remarkable, unique show
And it still gets better
Bojack's vision of living in Maine with Charlotte reminds me a lot of Griffith's vision of settling down with Casca. A modest life that could've been, in a small cabin with a family
You missed out one of my favourite lines from this episode.
“Now I’m going to take a shower so I can’t tell if I’m crying or not “ 😢
Welcome to the show's most time honored tradition: the penultimate episode is ALWAYS the hardest to watch.
If you guys thought this episode was something else on Bojack psyche. I seriously can't wait for ya'll to get much further into the later seasons of this show that goes and dive much deeper into Bojack flaws also major faults as a character. Man, I'm so glad you guys are finally watching this series at last.

BUT MY FAVORITE, is that you speak to the characters as if they are real people, like you are talking directly to them. It means alot for some reason and I appreciate it so much
The first of many spine-chilling penultimate episodes.
The number 11 killed my wife and ate my family.
@@SmileytheSmile
The best funny enough is 15.
@@zeo4481 I dunno, the 411 gives it a solid run for its money.
It's always great to hear a Death Grips song randomly used somewhere lmao. If only that happened more often
It has happened quite a few times, sometimes in shows you wouldn't expect.
This show got me into them.
Episode 11 of the season is always one of the best and easily the most hard hitting. Can't wait to see these guys watch the other Episode 11s to come.
This is the first of many great episodes 11. This show is something else.
I'm soo glad you're watching this, it is rare to see people doing such a deep analysis from this show and yours is so on point I feel like you're lying about this being your first time watching Bojack lol

Your analysis of this episode was amazing. Always love hearing your insight. c: So glad you're enjoying this show!

ohh caleb's painting analysis is so cool
I keep forgeting how hard season 1 alone goes
and that’s just the tip of the iceberg
"Drugged down, drowing in your own pool..." oh boy
Well damn.
Nope nope we don't talk about that one
..Yet..
Dudes, you BARELY put a toe on Bo's swamp...
*tar pit
I remember an interview with Will Arnett...
Where he said he made the show's creator , Raphael Bob Waksburg, promise to pay for his therapist once the show had finished.
I think he was joking.....🙄🙄🤔🤔
such great discussion! so thoughtful
Remember! All 2nd to last episodes are GOATED.
This is probably the WEAKEST one and it's STILL a 9.5/10
God i can't wait for them to reach free churro
Ooh yes one of my favs, I can't wait for them to get to Beatrice's backstories and the *swimming episode*
Great reaction! What an episode!
Great episode as it has one of the best drug trips in an adult animation next to Pink Floyd the wall and the Nyborg scene in heavy metal
The scenes with bojack and his mom Beatrice always hit too close to home for me
What an unbeatable show
What about Batman tas?
I may not be smart, academically gifted person with some impressive career but goddamn, at least I make good, wise life choices and treat people in my life very well. But still, this is hard to watch and really makes you take a long hard look at yourself.
ISANELY GOOD.
Upload twice a week. finally a good channel is reacting to Bojack.
god can't wait for season 2
Remember, fans usually consider this the weakest season. That's saying a lot
Every penultimate episode is 10/10 for me and this is still the least stunning one.
...is the focus on Maine a horse pun?
I had to stop watching this show before the final season. It just made me feel like there was no hope for me at all.
@ciolake4136 you don't know that, why do people keep saying this. hope for what, what did you imagine by that word, maybe what he hoped for truly is not attainable anymore, you don't know the circumstances. you can definetly say there is hope, but not always and not for everything, for example, - SPOILERS - there's no hope for bojack to fulfill the dream with charlotte.
have you guys ever seen better call saul? you seem very into the psychological side of things, i feel like your commentary would be amazing.
love these reactions, thanks for doing them 🙏 ❤ 🙏
Watching this drunk after hanging with friends really make you appreciate that you aren't as fucked up as Bojack...
Good content
1 of 6… 😭
Why shouldn’t you get wet while on drugs??
Because Dr Hu told him not to. There was a joke about Gremlin rules when taking drugs
