      Please react to the Midnight Gospel, especially the last 2 episodes, its animation mixed with real conversations from Duncan Trusell's podcasts, I think they are one of the thoughest pieces of media I have watched, It really helped me cope with some stuff in a way I never thought it would.

    One of the best lines from early BoJack -
    PB: You're a millionaire movie star with a girlfriend who loves you, acting in your dream movie. What more do you want? What else could the universe possibly owe you?
    BoJack: I *want* to feel good about myself. The way you do. And I don't know how. I don't know if I can. I'm sorry, Mr. Peanutbutter. I can't tell you how sorry I am.

      Yes.... that line hit me hard. But when Beatrice said, "You were born broken. That is your birthright." hit me the hardest. First time I watching the show. I cried over and over from hearing that because I was born 3 months early, I had to be in NICU for a month. I had hernia, I have to get surgery as soon I was born. I have asthma, hearing loss (I was put in deaf school because my parent thought I couldnt "keep up" with hearing people so I learned Sign Language to communicate with my deaf friends. Now my hearing level has been improved but still having trouble understanding people). I also have a bad eyesight as well. Most of the times, I felt like I wasn't right and thought my flaws are going to be a burden for me and family.

    • @angelicat-m8236
      @angelicat-m8236 3 роки тому +109

      I think in a sense, having anamorphic characters in an animated show made it easier. The things that get portrayed here are very personal and often painful. To use people would have made it too (idk, real?) and by using this style, we were at a safe enough distance. Especially when you think about the protagonist being extremely wealthy and a movie star. That’s also something people don’t really relate to.
      If you liked this show I highly recommend Tuca and Bertie.

      @willow8186 3 роки тому +17

      Yeah, for sure, but I get the appeal though. The fact that it’s really silly and a cartoon let’s people lower their guard and let them feel comfortable when being faced with all those serious topics like substance abuse, mental issues and such.
      With “real” tv shows it can often feel like you’re being lectured when those topics are brought up. And it can feel too depressing to watch because it’s real people, either it’s too depressing or too silly. But since we all expect a cartoon to be silly it’s just a really pleasant surprise when it actually also brings up some serious things that many of us can relate to.

    One thing I never really thought hard about until now, when Bojack says "yes" to Hollyhock's question, is that it may not be the best thing to say, and it's certainly not entirely true, but at least he IS trying his best to do the exact opposite of what his mother did to him. He IS, whether he realizes it or not, trying not to add to her burden, trying not to condemn her to the role he feels condemned to. Also, your words about Diane's part... maybe I kind of needed to hear that. Thank you for this video.

    • @Naahi95

      He also says that he's the one responsible for the things he does and it's NEVER her fault. And that's exactly the opposite of what his parents told him since he was a kid. They always blamed everything on Bojack and his response to Hollyhock is probably what he would've liked his mom and dad to say to him.

    • @hellenrodriguesmoraes

      When Bojack lies to Hollyhock about the voices going away, I think he is trying to comfort her because he actually thinks that he's family's blood is poisoned and they can't be happy but he doesn't wants her to belive that too.

    Watching Bojack gave me a sort of cathartic cry that I needed. I relate to Bojack, minus me being a narcissist. My family dynamic was a lot like Bojack's except my mother was like Butterscotch and my father was Beatrice. It was so validating to see my situation played out on television. It also made me realize that life is too short to not get the help you need. I am currently looking for a psychiatrist. This show saved me from myself and helped me realize that I may be asexual as well and that may be a cause of my depression.

    I used to have the voice in my head a lot more than I do now. (I don’t actually know what changed) But it was really annoying because my mind would go “They’re talking about you. They know how horrible you are... why are you so self-centered? Why would they be talking about you? It’s because they know you suck.” And yadayada. It would just go in circles all the time and contradict itself. Thankfully, I think I eventually had too many other things to think about that it got forced into the background and stayed there.

    What gets me the most in the Brand New Couch clip is how quickly Bojack is able to come up with a guess for her crossword. This is the most horrifying Beatrice scene so far in the series _for the audience_ but Bojack's psyche stews in that level of cruelty at all times. So he can immediately transition to working on an intellectual problem (in hopes of getting her approval that way).
    But despite being used to it, it doesn't fail to tear him down.

    I REALLY like Bojack Horseman because I feel exactly like Bojack, because my mom has completely destroy me and I feel like I'm always struggling to try to stop the voice of my mother in my head... My mother was married with a dangerous alcoholic and when she trew him out (I never saw him after that) she was completely depressed and sad, and she was releasing all of her anger on me during my childhood, telling me that EVERYTHING was my fault, and that if she would prefer to never have children and got married... She never showed me any sort of love.
    She kept repeating me all the time that people who are married are dumb idiot because love is just an illusion, and that all that matter is to have a great job and be rich, because money is the key to everything... Of course I became obsessed with money due to that and I spend years studying the stock market, I studied economy and accounting at the university and my dream was to become as rich as possible and to become rich...
    But today I realised it's just all bullshit, money will never make me happy, and my only dream would be to find my soulmate... To truly love and being loved by someone, to get married and waking up each morning with someone to who I could tell that she's everything for me...
    But I got this horrible feeling, this feeling of having a curse, like if my mother was right... Love is false and all women are bad and will break my heart
    But I see a therapist and I know I don't have to believe the lies of my mother, and someday I will be truly happy with someone...
    Please people, try to be kind to each other and take love seriously, love is the only thing that can save us !

I’ve been so depressed and sensitive since I was 4 with no consistent help, professional or otherwise. I’ve always been like this and I just feel so broken, like I was just born damaged and there’s just nothing I can do about it. My life honestly sucks. And I’m suffering every single day. And I have fibromyalgia so I’m also in physical pain every single day. It’s not that I don’t have reasons to cry, but I cry so much so often and I’m tired and I just want it to stop. Crying almost feels like a punishment. Life feels like a punishment. Idk what to do because I can’t really do anything. I’ve tried getting help every way I can, I don’t have access to resources.

    From the very first episode he is supporting and compassionate to everyone around him, even if he gets none of the credit, or they think he is just some random goofball nobody. There are multiple times in the show where he becomes amazingly rich or famous. He becomes a dictator, becomes governor of California (for about a minute), and has multiple ideas that become their own successful business or make him rich. Yet he eventually ends up the same old couch surfing Todd, moving on to the next awesome idea.
    He never stays on one thing for too long, because he doesn't look at the success, he looks at what makes him truly happy.

    "he didn't get the relationship with his mother that he wanted" is a misnomer.
    He wanted the relationship he was OWED by her, by virtue of her forcing him to exist. He never asked to be born, but she *chose* to not only have him, but to keep him in her custody and subject him to her parenting.
    You can either be too wrapped up in your own issues to treat your kid decently, or you can be a good person. But ya gotta pick.

    One thing I haven't seen a ton of people talk about is how BoJack shows a lotttt of signs of BPD throughout the show. Maybe it's just because I have BPD, but, I dunno. I don't want to assume things about an anthropomorphic character lol, and I definitely don't want to sound like an armchair psych, but I think it would be super interesting if a therapist/psych broke down BoJack's symptoms as more than just depression.

    I've grown surrounded by people like this. The amount of psychological damage is enough in itself but also take into account that I was also physically abused. The physical abuse part scars you in a way not many people know or understand. In fact physical abuse its a true neutral word, what Im talking about is being subjected to torture. That's basically the environment I grew up in. I've just tried so hard all my life to not become so antisocial or depressed. My usual memories are mostly violence terror and sadness.

  • @noble_experiment

    I relate so much to what you said about BoJack wishing he had a good relationship with his mother. I’m the youngest between a family of 8 members and my dad (for most of his life) was out of the picture until recently when I turned 18. Both of them are 60+. My mom did the best she could, but I was still so empty and never felt like I had any kind of intimacy and affection from either of my parents. I get so conflicted about the small stupidest part of me who still wishes I had good parents, even when I am too old to ask for such a thing. Even when I feel I should just move on, what kind of adult am I to still wish I had good parents? Then I look into BoJack and Diane, and what you said, and it doesn’t feel so invalid.
    Thank you for this thorough analysis, made me reflect on how I should view my relationship with them.

    You're voice is so comforting. Like an old friend telling you everything's gonna be okay when you're in the darkest place of your mind. I wish I had you as my therapist instead of the one I got when I tried to go. I'll be honest, I'm supposed to be taking Lexapro. And instead of taking my medicine I fall back on smoking pot and drawing as a way to cope. I know drawing is a healthy coping mechanism, and the weed isn't. But it helps. It helps shut up that voice in my head telling me how terrible I am. It helps my anxiety when have random freak outs for no reason other than something that triggered said freak out. I lash out for no other reason than to push people away because I'm scared of hurting them or them hurting me. Im so scared of being put on a medication that makes me lose interest in the things I enjoy most. When I took Lexapro it got so bad that my boyfriend had to smack the bottle out of my hands because for some reason I spiraled worse. Now around that time, I was dealing with the murder of my step brother koty. So I was already spiraling because he was shot and killed. And my entire life I hated him for how he treated me and I never got to say sorry. Anyway, I went on a random tangent. I know weed isn't a healthy coping mechanism, but it helps. I forget how I'm feeling. I forget all the bad things that's going on and for a few hours or however long I smoke, I'm happy. I'm in a good mood. I feel good about myself when I smoke.

    Bojack had a lot of trouble because he was supposed to be the heir to a Sugar empire which he threw away for his own sense of self worth to feel something other than being an heir to a dying empire. His mother wasn't caring because her own mother became so entombed in grief over her son's passing during WW2 that she was unwillingly given the Lobotomy. The grandmother was so uncaring that it passed to the mother and onto bojack because it was a cycle. Bojack broke it by giving his friend a place to live for a while and Diane to be a close friend. Bojack drinks to avoid things in his life and to try something to feel. His entire works were to escape his horrible home life. it was just bad for a while but he fixed most of it in the end.

    some of this analysis resonated with me but i think analyzing bojack scenes in isolation and out of context of the entire show misses a few things. when bojack said "don't feel bad about feeling bad" - it sounds like decent advice on a standalone basis, but bojack takes that advice for himself to the an unhealthy extreme. when todd blows up at bojack saying he can't just do bad things and then feel bad like it makes it okay he did those things, and when his publicist (sorry forgot her name) tells him he fetishizes his own sadness, both those unhealthy behaviors from bojack are because he tells himself it's okay to feel bad. in that moment, bojack gave diane advice that she needed and seemed sound - of course her feelings are valid and crying is ok. but it's the tip of the iceberge to his own unhealthy mindset. in a way he was dragging her to his leve, the level of being comfortable feeling bad and not wanting to do better.
