I keep the episode downloaded on netflix, and watch it almost every morning on the bus. I’ve practically memorized the whole thing. The crazy part is though, every couple days I still find out something else in the episode, fine more hidden messages and meaning. It’s such a phenomenal episode, and pretty convenient that you don’t actually have to watch it, you can just listen to it
This may sound stupid, but it's kind of surreal to hear about the production of bojack horseman. Like, I know this is a story with fictional characters, but it feels so real and organic and present that I sometimes forget that these are not real people I am watching.
I don't know if that's stupid, that immersion's a tough bar for a lot of shows to jump, even many with live humans acting in it. They did such a good job, not just with the depressing things, but with the little banalities, joys, minor annoyances, and successes of so many different lives. I'm not used to effort that makes characters feel more 'whole' instead of 'edgy.' this is a way to say I've had a few forgetting moments myself. As well as generally remembering parts of this show in the same way I would something live action, as opposed to how I normally recall animated shows.
Trust me, that's normal. Because it shows that the characters were well written because they got you invested enough to care and feel about people who never existed!
Did he “ruin” Sarah Lynn though? That’s kind of a overstatement. In S3 E11 I know she overdoses and he doesn’t stop her, but she wasn’t really “sober” before that anyways. If you watch the episode again you can pick up on a lot of hints that she was just in AA to feel better about herself, not actually to help herself. Personally I don’t believe she ever was sober. For this reason I think she’s the one most to blame for her own death. (Although BoJack is also a little to blame) Plus she was already messed up when he first saw her again after horsin around. (S1E3 I think) sure he took advantage or her and definitely didn’t help the situation, but at the end of the day, he definitely is not the one to blame for her being the way she is. He did not ruin her
@@jojo0827 was she sober though? She claimed to be, but also said things that alluded to her not being sober at all. Personally I don't think she was. I recommend re-watching S3 E11 to see what I mean. She says things like "trust me, if you're gonna listen to a bunch of losers talk about their shitty lives, it's a lot better if you're a little buzzed." In my opinion, this quote completely concludes that she was never actually sober, she just told people she was to feel better about herself. Idk though, I could be completely wrong, and btw that was me paraphrasing, not a direct quote.
The generational tragedy of Sugarman/Horseman always gives shivers down on my spine. Thank you for a great inspirational video. I really should write something more.
Can we please talk about how sad Honey's warning truly is? Specifically, her wording; "Promise me that you'll never love anybody as much as I loved _Crackerjack_," Basically, saying to her daughter's face that she loved him more, and insinuating that she wouldn't have been that sad if it had been Beatrice who died
@@HaruHikaHaruHika I don't think it's that, remember that crackerjack was old enough to be a soldier, Honey already spent a lot of years raising him and taking care of him, meanwhile Beatrice was like, 5 years old, she seem to love both his children a lot, but offcourse she would have a preference over crackerjack as she actually know him for so much time meanwhile Beatrice was just forming her personality when crackerjack died in the war.
This cycle of parents, leading to children becoming parents and repeat the same things is very true. I can see it on one of my friends who grew up only with his mother. It took a long time before his dad appeared and when he finally did, the reunion was bittersweet. Turned out his dad is struggling with responsibilities and suffers depression. He didn't want to be a bad parent so he never shown up. Not until his conscience was burning and he just had to meet his only son. Now, my friend has an issue to fit in, stand for his opinions and taking on responsibilities. Depression comes with it too. And one day his girlfriend said he's about to become a father. He did not take that well. Only spiralling into anxiety and self-doubt became self-hatred. His girlfriend moved away, back to her parents and he is keeping them all at arm's length. Far enough not to have a direct negative influence on his newborn daughter with all his struggles just to sustain himself, but close enough to witness the child's growth and progress. He's playing against himself and there's no way to win. He doesn't want to raise a child as broken as he is, and at the same time, avoiding the long-term contact will have a negative impact on her too. With every meeting he becomes more torn. Proud to be a father, wanting to do the best for his daughter and believing he isn't capable of providing what she needs. Tears of joy change into tears of bitterness. Even with all the help and support I can muster I can't see him being able to carry on with this and probably will cut the connection eventually. And then, as his own father did, try to amend the relationship many years down the line.
As a Bojack lover AND a fellow psychology loving writer with a particular interest in childhood influences/trauma, this is an ABSOLUTE TREAT, thank you for your work!
Another fitting quote “Brother raises a hand against brother and son against father (how terrible!) and the father also against son. And moreover it is a continuity-matter, for if the father did not strike the son, they would not be alike. It is done to perpetuate similarity. Oh, Henderson, man cannot keep still under the blows.... A hit B? B hit C?--we have not enough alphabet to cover the condition. A brave man will try to make the evil stop with him. He shall keep the blow. No man shall get it from him, and that is a sublime ambition.” ― Saul Bellow, Henderson the Rain King
This series just proves my case that Bojack Horseman wasn’t just a breath of fresh air for adult animation, but the ability of storytelling through animation in general
Bojack Horseman is the most relatable and real show I have ever watched. It can really send my depression spiraling at times, however, I still enjoy it because it comforts me knowing that I am not the only one that goes through the stuff that is expressed in the show.
Incredible analysis. We also see this generational trauma when Hollyhock tells BoJack she had a little voice in her head that tells her no one likes her, and asks if that goes away when you get older. We see a genuinely empathetic side of BoJack that isn’t often there when he tells her it goes away, when in fact it doesn’t.
This makes me happy because it justifies my long-lived love for this show. Everyone around me thinks it is depressing or dumb, but damn it is an amazing show. It makes you happy, and it makes you cry. It makes you think, and it can make you numb. And the amount of care put into it is really touching.
When Beatrice’s mom said “don’t love anything as much as I loved Crackerjack” I didn’t see it as her saying not to have children. After all, this is Post-WWII. People were having so many kids that it caused the Baby Boom. Instead, I understood it as Honey Sugarman telling Beatrice not to *love* her child.
But then what’s the point of having a child just for the sole purpose of hating it for existing. Just spare yourself the trouble. That’s is why I interpreted it as don’t have children.
Thank you. I am from Mexico. The episodes that i like the most where the ones with sugarman family's flashbacks. Before I see this I noticed that was a very psycological way to present us a show. I really like bojack because is real and I identify a lot with the characters. They really take serius about mental illness and how is so common to have this struggles.
Young Bojack didn't say "For smoking, or for crying". He said "For smoking or for stealing". And that Honey didn't tell Beatrice to not have children. She basically told her not to love. Even if she discouraged her daughter not to have children, Joseph had told her that a woman's role in life is to be a wife and mother.
I have a BA in Psych for my undergrad and went to grad school for English. It helps immensely in not only writing but in analyzing characters so team high five. Oddly you’re one of the only people I’ve heard (besides myself) talk about this.
You just took an episode that I already liked, and made me like it more. How does that work? Very interesting, and I have a friend that I think might be interested on what you showed here!
You always find a way to uplift me in my writing-there are days when I believe all the effort won't mean anything. and that I'm above average at. Yet you find a way to inspire me-thank you. I've taken much inspiration from Animation and Comics in general-e.i. anime, American tv, and American comics. -Neon Genesis Evangelion granted me the wish to craft physiologically and emotionally driven character studies. Along with bitter-sweet narratives and themes; and endings to go with the them. -Bojack horsemen inspired me to write profound thematic relevance and how to make characters human. All and all them being awful people yet those you can still relate and sympathize with. -Stan Lee(Rest in peace-hope your with your wife again) showed how to make people conflicted and complicated. With issues that maybe seem fantastical but look closer and there right at home.
I've been binging your videos and taking so many notes on what you have to say. I can genuinely say, though, this is my favorite video. I love how you use shows and their stories to relate back to yours and your viewers personal writings. Not only that, but how you expand on it and take the extra step to research and explain things in a way that is both entertaining and informative. The best part of this video in relation to my writing is when you mentioned that the writer is responsible for the perspective they put on a situation and that it can be tricky in cases of mental health and other serious situations. While I already knew it is good to be careful, you expanding on why it is good put the situation in a new perspective for me (your point - accomplished!). I've been writing a visual novel that contains very difficult and sensitive situations, some of which I can relate to and some of which I cannot. I understand it is important for me to convey the issues properly, but this video gave me new, better ideas on how to do the latter. Thank you for making these videos (even though this one was a few years ago!). They really help and you do so well with them. Have a great day!
Wow. I know this video is older, but I just wanted to say thank you for creating it. I just put it on for dinner because I love watching character/writing analysis after work. I graduated with a degree in creative writing almost two years ago, and I thought I had lost my passion for writing. I'm saving this video bc it's really just reminded me that everyone's voice is important, even mine. Thank you so much for creating.
Waks looks like Evil Michael from VSauce That being said, thanks for the amazing work SB, I'm binge-watching your channel and, for that, I had to face my pain and binge-watch Bojack Horseman. I love your work and I hope someday I can also write and analyze stuff to cause positive impact on people's lives just like you impacted my life.
Bojack Horseman is one of the very few instances of writing mental health done right. As someone with mental health problems I'm sick of it being romanticized or used as a scare tactic. It's so much more nuanced than that and these are writers that get that.
Dude you are amazing, I always look forward to more of your content, and if you keep this up, this will explode way more than you can dream. Your work speaks for itself.
What I find intriguing is: Beatrice and this be the verse One might be coincidence but two is a pattern I’m talking about A Series Of Unfortunate Events
Your outlook on writing is similar to mine, stories that deeply involve psychological traumas are so much better. Thank you for making this amazing content and I'll definitely check out those books.
I had a feeling you have a human services background based on the 'I See You' dissertation, and this confirmed it. THAT video blew me away and I have a feeling that this one is about to do the same. Cheers from MD
Actually, you messed up with imdb rankings. Churro has 9.8, Times arrow-9.8 and Old Sugarman Place-9.2. So there are a lot higher rated episodes then Old Sugarman Place, like “The Showstopper”, “That’s too much, man!”, “Escape from LA”. Other than that, great video, nice research, made me love that episode even more!
Man, I noticed Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy playing at the end, why everything that has to do with mental illness or psychology has to have that song in it?
But yeah I totally agro with this video this is very insightful. Shit I'm crying . I'm thinking about stuff and now I'm crying again I hope peopel don't notice the scratch marks on me god Vietnamese family are crazy man. Just like dinana nugireyen nagoouen or whatever.
The Hunter x Hunter 2011 Dickriding Association May I ask you why this is your opinion? I share it and I wonder if we have the same reasons for having it.
@@camelopardalis84 For me it's a combination of factors, the 2 biggest being that I think human beings are morally reprehensible at a base level so producing more wrong out the gate especially if you have no plan for dealing with or even don't see that immorality, and the second reason is you shouldn't bring a conscience being into this world whose suffering you cannot prevent. While the second one applies to other animals as well "ought" implies "can" and humans are the only creatures with enough control of our instincts to go against them, so the fact that many don't do so is a moral wrong
@@HxH2011DRA Thanks for the (very fast) reply! I've tried to explain my version of your second reason to a couple of people already but most don't understand it. Some just think I was deeply hurt (which I was) and that that is the whole reason for me to have it. (Which is true insofar as I did - at least most probably - develop this view due to having been hurt but untrue due to it being a view anyone could develop and should be able to understand at least on a logical level.) I say that every being that comes into existence is capable of experience bad things as well as good things. In the best case a being that is coming into existence right this moment will have a life that is 99 % good and 1 % bad. (I am using very simple numbers here.) Would this being not come into existence right now it would "miss out" on the 99 % of good. And it would not have to endure the 1 % of bad. Thing is, though, that a being that does not come into existence right now will not actually "miss out" on the 99 % of good. Since something that does not exist can never "miss out" on anything. If the being does come into existence however it will inevitably have to endure the 1 % of bad. It will experience the 99 % of good as well but that will only be - for lack of a better term - "necessary" because it exists. The argument that 99 % (of good) is way more than 1 % (of bad) is factually true but irrelevant in this discussion. On top of that you can never know how much good and how much bad any being that comes into existence will experience during its lifetime. If I decided to have a child (a biological one, that is) I would make the decision for it to live a life as a being that can be tortured, ostracised, raped, extremely severely hurt due to a fall, starved, burned alive etc. for the entirety of its life of up to about 120 years. That's not a decision you make for another being. The being (my hypothetical child in this case) cannot consent to being so extremely vulnerable for such an extremely long time in any kind of world or reality in which any kind of bad is possible. I also think us humans are terrible for this planet. Involuntarily so, due to our nature-given nature. But we are parasites. I don't know what exactly you mean with your first reason but I think it goes at least vaguely in this direction. You write in your first comment "Also happy new year, and to many more". I too wish you a happy new year. I wish it on everybody. In many cases not in the way they imagine it. But I am convinced everybody could have a happy 2019 that would make them better for everyone and everything around them. I also agree with the "to many more" part but only in the sense that I want additional years after 2019 to be happy should they arrive at all. I would be extremely relieved to find out that 2019 had been the last year towards the end of it and that there simply would not be a 2020. No more existence means no more suffering.

What pleased them, I did not learn; and what I knew was far removed from their understanding."- Epicurus Trust your own reasoning not indefinitely, but above all others. What others believe has no bearing on the strength of your own arguments. If you feel your reasoning is sound, all is well. For what it's worth tho I agree with you
I have probably watched Free Churro five times by now... It's just a 20 minute monologue, and it's the greatest thing I've ever seen

"Knock once if you love me. Knock once if you're proud of me."
Just that. That landed harder than anything in the show.
when he said that I was hoping and wishing to hear a knock even though I knew that she was dead (not mentioning here that it was the wrong casket)
Plus Bojack ruined the only person who was anything like a child to him: Sarah Lynn.
Did he “ruin” Sarah Lynn though? That’s kind of a overstatement. In S3 E11 I know she overdoses and he doesn’t stop her, but she wasn’t really “sober” before that anyways.

Wandile Mtambo I’m 100% not denying that he was a negative influence, but to say the HE ruined her, is too far in my opinion.
Mafo Koko let’s not forget though, Sarah Lynn was sober when Bojack pulls her into his drug fueled bender, the bender that ends with her death.

Thank you so much ! Especially fot your take on generational trauma
"Psychohistory is the study of the psychological motivation of historical events."
Hari Seldon appears via hologram: "actually..."
damn, that poem hit me like a truck. 😭
This is my favorite episode of the show.
This ep.... DAMN, it hit my soul HARD!!!
I had a feeling you have a human services background based on the 'I See You' dissertation, and this confirmed it. THAT video blew me away and I have a feeling that this one is about to do the same. Cheers from MD
You are so class! Please keep making videos xxx
Thank you. I enjoy the crap out of these at work!
i love your view on writing!
how does this not have more views
These videos are so well done
This be the verse was also the dying words of Count Olaf.
Interesting how the same poem is linked to both Bojack Horseman and Count Olaf!
This episode upset me to be honest I had a deep ambivalence relating to bojack and how I feel about most of my family
I'll buy your book on christmas. Just the orthodox one. Keep up the good work. 100k is not the limit.
I'll be honest; a lot of my fanfiction is inspired by scenes & songs from other media I love. RWBY, Disney/DreamWorks, and other sources.
Oh gosh! This was amazing! Thank you.
man that quote rly got to me
I love your BoJack videos
Amazing video, incredible advice
I love this so much, and you gave me something to read c:
I wish I could like this video multiple times
Is there any point in having kids we're just going to fuck them up in the end? No matter how hard you try and not to
Wow, not to be rude but this was way better than what I was expecting
Fue hermoso. Gracias por este gran video.
i just wanted to let you know that im your 2,500th subscriber!
Thanks so much!
Maybe you could make a video about the Psychology in Good Will Hunting.
Good job love the channel
Great channel!!! 👏👏
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos and good luck with the novels! I'm a fantasy author too. :-)
Underrated
those videos are good
keep it up brother!
Actually, you messed up with imdb rankings. Churro has 9.8, Times arrow-9.8 and Old Sugarman Place-9.2. So there are a lot higher rated episodes then Old Sugarman Place, like “The Showstopper”, “That’s too much, man!”, “Escape from LA”. Other than that, great video, nice research, made me love that episode even more!
Thank you
Good work.
*i have half a mind* so did bojacks mom get a lobotomy?
No Honey Sugarman did, Bojack's grandmother.

Excellent video
Wtf when i subed I thought you would have like 500,000 sub's. Hope u get there one day
Phenomenal.
That poem, fuck...
Man, I noticed Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy playing at the end, why everything that has to do with mental illness or psychology has to have that song in it?
1:14 season what?
I'll like this video and come back after
_-Psych buff here who writing so this video is a little more than appropriate_
right
My father neverforgave wheat his father did to him so maybe I shouldn't forgive what my father did to me as a child
might just be because im high
but you really sound a lot like MrCreepyPasta
You made me cry. Why did you do that? :(
Won't you mind if I will translate few of your BoJack Horseman's video?
But yeah I totally agro with this video this is very insightful. Shit I'm crying . I'm thinking about stuff and now I'm crying again I hope peopel don't notice the scratch marks on me god Vietnamese family are crazy man. Just like dinana nugireyen nagoouen or whatever.
Hi, are there any ways to use time in reverse when writing without using the time's arrow format?
Oh, I thought that psychohistory is fully mathematical sociology that can predict future.
Having kids is morally wrong imo. Also happy new year, and to many more!
The Hunter x Hunter 2011 Dickriding Association May I ask you why this is your opinion? I share it and I wonder if we have the same reasons for having it.
@@camelopardalis84 For me it's a combination of factors, the 2 biggest being that I think human beings are morally reprehensible at a base level so producing more wrong out the gate especially if you have no plan for dealing with or even don't see that immorality, and the second reason is you shouldn't bring a conscience being into this world whose suffering you cannot prevent. While the second one applies to other animals as well "ought" implies "can" and humans are the only creatures with enough control of our instincts to go against them, so the fact that many don't do so is a moral wrong
@@HxH2011DRA
Thanks for the (very fast) reply! I've tried to explain my version of your second reason to a couple of people already but most don't understand it. Some just think I was deeply hurt (which I was) and that that is the whole reason for me to have it. (Which is true insofar as I did - at least most probably - develop this view due to having been hurt but untrue due to it being a view anyone could develop and should be able to understand at least on a logical level.)
I say that every being that comes into existence is capable of experience bad things as well as good things. In the best case a being that is coming into existence right this moment will have a life that is 99 % good and 1 % bad. (I am using very simple numbers here.) Would this being not come into existence right now it would "miss out" on the 99 % of good. And it would not have to endure the 1 % of bad. Thing is, though, that a being that does not come into existence right now will not actually "miss out" on the 99 % of good. Since something that does not exist can never "miss out" on anything. If the being does come into existence however it will inevitably have to endure the 1 % of bad. It will experience the 99 % of good as well but that will only be - for lack of a better term - "necessary" because it exists. The argument that 99 % (of good) is way more than 1 % (of bad) is factually true but irrelevant in this discussion. On top of that you can never know how much good and how much bad any being that comes into existence will experience during its lifetime.
If I decided to have a child (a biological one, that is) I would make the decision for it to live a life as a being that can be tortured, ostracised, raped, extremely severely hurt due to a fall, starved, burned alive etc. for the entirety of its life of up to about 120 years. That's not a decision you make for another being. The being (my hypothetical child in this case) cannot consent to being so extremely vulnerable for such an extremely long time in any kind of world or reality in which any kind of bad is possible.
I also think us humans are terrible for this planet. Involuntarily so, due to our nature-given nature. But we are parasites. I don't know what exactly you mean with your first reason but I think it goes at least vaguely in this direction.
You write in your first comment "Also happy new year, and to many more". I too wish you a happy new year. I wish it on everybody. In many cases not in the way they imagine it. But I am convinced everybody could have a happy 2019 that would make them better for everyone and everything around them. I also agree with the "to many more" part but only in the sense that I want additional years after 2019 to be happy should they arrive at all. I would be extremely relieved to find out that 2019 had been the last year towards the end of it and that there simply would not be a 2020. No more existence means no more suffering.

Trust your own reasoning not indefinitely, but above all others. What others believe has no bearing on the strength of your own arguments. If you feel your reasoning is sound, all is well. For what it's worth tho I agree with you
@@HxH2011DRA
You agreeing with me is worth a lot. Also, that was a very nicely worded reply. I love the quote.
