There was also a dung beetle pushing around a giant ball on the set of Mr. Peanutbutter's show.

The replacement director on Secreteriat being a literal bottom feeder was a nice bit of visual storytelling too. You knew instantly that they weren't going to be making Casablanca, mainly because that's already a movie, so why would they?

I liked Vanessa Gecko's reveal as an ordinary human in season one after several episodes of oblique references to her in name only as a sneaky under-handed color-changing jerkbag.

i finished bojack horseman season 2 the show is absolutely great when it's a super dark, nihilistic character piece which is then hamstrung by the absolutely fuckin' awful puns and jokes like that dr hu/who joke in season 1 was one of the worst jokes i've ever seen a tv show air definitely the best show netflix is airing though, which is kinda damning with faint praise but still, really great show. when it stays on tone.

again, it's the jokes like the van camp "wordplay" or the doctor who/hu joke that are absolute loving scum and should be gotten rid of, they're not funny and they're so forced that whole scenes have to be built around the "payoff" of a dumb one-liner it's honestly kind of bewildering since the show has really deep, troubled characters and could just deign to examine them instead of the van camp is not in van sant's camp joke or w/e

I don't think I would enjoy the dumb jokes nearly as much if they weren't surrounded by emotional devastation and misery.

Toxxupation posted:i finished bojack horseman season 2 I think we need the comedy, and not just as comic relief - it's an integral part of that dark, nihilistic tone. I mean, your mileage may vary with the puns and pop-culture references although they do seem to net a fair bit of praise, but comedy and absurdity is a key part of depression. Many of the best comics have suffered from severe depression because comedy is an extremely effective coping mechanism, and tone-wise a show that can go from making silly celebrity gossip jokes like everything's fine to taking a sharp turn into serious issues captures that dynamic. If the show was nothing but the grueling moments one after another people wouldn't watch, couldn't watch, but just like in real life it's the comedy that gets them through. Maybe it's the specific bits you don't like, and like I said your mileage may vary. I thought the Doctor Hu/Who joke was funny, not in a laugh-out-loud way just to reinforce the general absurdity of the world. Part of the humor and appeal of Bojack is he sometimes comes off as the only sane man, like being the only one who can tell Princess Carolyn is dating three kids standing on each other's shoulders in a trench coat or the only one who apparently cares that the guy Wanda met is a Soviet sleeper-agent. It contributes to the tone and Bojack's isolation.

The worst overexplained joke of season 2 was Vanessa showing up as PC's servant in the Thomas Kinkade fantasy and explaining to her and the audience why she's there when everyone with half a brain got the goddamn joke immediately. I also thought Paul McCartney jumping out of the cake was misguided. Mr. Peanutbutter saying "Sir Paul McCartney's going to jump out of a cake" is a good line because it leaves so much to the imagination. Later showing exactly that (and then having Paul overexplain what's happened) didn't really add anything although it's pretty great they actually got McCartney to voice it. They could have ended it with, just as one example, him stuck inside the cake and yelling for help and it would have been good because that's actually a new joke.

I like how S2 has wrapped with what appears to be another clean(ish) break. It would be easy to keep everything in LA and have the show roll along for a few seasons with some properly solid animal goofs but i get the feeling there's something this is all leading to. Both seasons have ties cut with people who were clearly important to BoJack in the past, I wonder who's next. Maybe Butterscotch Horseman lives in NYC? Above all else though, god drat the delivery of "Fuzzyface, Meow Meow Fuzzyface" absolutely destroyed me. Holy poo poo when this show does dumb does it do it well.

"So what, now you're gonna just do whatever a 16 year old girl says? Jezey louisey, grow a spine" *Buck bawww* "Yea, or a backbone." "Just going to the beach with the family. Honey, do you wanna sit in the front or back?" *Buck*

One of the central conceits of the show is a joke about how the main character is a horse. Remove that and it's a different show. Even if they never mentioned it or it were "allegorical" it would still be a joke.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with hating puns and the dumb animal jokes, but I don't see how the show works at all without them. The baseline absurdity of it all is needed, or else all you have is something bleak and depressing for the sake of being bleak and depressing for some reason calling itself a comedy. If I wanted that I'd watch Occ's favorite show, Last Man Standing.

"These aren't like friend chickens, y'hear" Christ that episode is a dark look at factory farming in the BoJack world. The only thing that makes them different from people-animals is hormones. I'm kinda sad we didn't see the sassy cow waitress again this season as well.

Did Aaron Paul also voice his Cordovian doppleganger? Also I found out that the voice of Hank Hippopopalous was the Library Detective from that one episode of Seinfeld.
