As someone who is asexual I really appreciate Todd's journey of self-discovery in this show. Asexual representation in media feels incredibly rare. In most cases it falls under the umbrella of leaving it open-ended that a character isn't interested in sexual relationships without having it be a process of self-realization. And even in those cases it's not spelled out, so the audience usually ends interpreting those characters as being gay rather than asexual, and that becomes the accepted headcanon. And then there's the other category of asexual characters who are either robots or robotic. Asexual characters usually being presented as emotionless is the equivalent of portraying every gay character as overly flamboyant. It's a stereotype that isn't accurate with reality. So Todd's character is a rare case inside an already rare category.
The fallout of Todd and Bojack was so painful but it was necessary. Todd finally deciding to prioritise himself all while taking care of others as well shows his growth.
I always overlook this episode when I think of all the amazing ones in season 4, but this is so wholesome (and funny). Definitely a worthy addition to the season 4 pantheon!
Season 4 is my favorite and also probrably the most rewatchable season of them all. The show is great, but I always find myself watching or listening to this season while I go other things, it has soo much replay value.
The choice to have Todd playing an instrument with an orchestra was apparently a tribute to a couple of classic old cartoons…. Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny both did an orchestra episode
@@sorkaem i agree, season 4 is my favourite too... I'm just saying I've read some comments on other videos where people said they didn't like the Hollyhock character. It surprised me also
Todd is by far my least favourite character in this show, so its nice to get this episode out of the way. Love the Hollyhock part. Best maid in the history of the profession for sure!
He has major dysfuntions too. He's simply lucky and so it rarely becomes a problem he needs to face because against all odds it always works out for him. It's actually why his character grates on me because he's the one character who gets to escape his problems without much self-reflection.
Todd's still a massive slacker and is similar to Mr. Peanut butter except Todd has a bit more self-awareness and less resources to fall back on. But he's still as flawed as everyone in this show.

"that's a terrible thing to say to a baby" is one of my favorite funny lines
Todd deciding to look after himself after 3 seasons of Todd-foolery is a breath of fresh air.
I love this episode. Todd is an important character in terms of representation and this episode is iconic in his story

This episode really solidified why Todd is one of my favorite characters. Especially towards the end of this episode.

one of my fav episodes is coming up. One where we are in bojacks head the entire time.
Iconic episode
Aka "This episode looked into its viewers brains and then just read them to filth" with how accurate it all was lol
The choice to have Todd playing an instrument with an orchestra was apparently a tribute to a couple of classic old cartoons….
Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny both did an orchestra episode
wow that just unlocked some memories lol I loved that Tom and Jerry episode
Any type of representation this show does never feels lazy, forced, corporate, shoved in there for the sake of some Hollywood checklist. Love it.
Best part of my week right here.
I had such big stupid ugly cries seeing Todd go to the asexual meet up.
todd, the legend
Good for him
The beginning and ending of this episode brings me so much joy for Todd. 😊
was worried this ep was gonna b late cause of Christmas, glad it wasn't, I need my bojack. Thank you for the vid, merry Christmas!
Hollyhock is here, baby! WOOOOO!
Merry Christmas my brothers
Hooray!
Some people don't like Hollyhock, but I think she's a great character 🎉🎉
Really ?
Season 4 is MANY fans' favorite season
That's rude of those people
@@sorkaem i agree, season 4 is my favourite too...
I'm just saying I've read some comments on other videos where people said they didn't like the Hollyhock character. It surprised me also
Love Hollyhock but you can definitely tell shes a Horseman after Season 6. Cowardess is in thier blood.
I'm not entirely sure I would call Hollyhock a coward. She had legit reasons for going no contact. @@WantaFig
Great reaction! This is a really fun one!
What happened to randy?! You skipped it

Damn, Todd’s by far my favorite. Different strokes ig
Todd is the only main character that doesn't have major dysfunctions in this series and watching his journey of self discovery is great.
His only big issue is just learning to live for himself instead of helping other people. Its nice.
He has huge problems with his family that aren’t addressed for a hot minute…
Yeah it felt like we would have gotten more if the show kept going. So we just got like one episode about it right at the end. @@zero3570
