>Yes, thank you, exactly. Settle. Because otherwise you’re just gonna get older and harder, and more alone. And you’re gonna do everything you can to fill that hole, with friends, and your career, and meaningless sex, but the hole doesn’t get filled. One day, you’re gonna look around and you’re going to realize that everybody loves you, but nobody likes you. And that is the loneliest feeling in the world.

40% of population suffers from depression, might as well heal it, or at least make people be fine with it.
And that number increases every year.

You do realize depression is often situational, right? (Modern hypercapitalism can do that.)
Jack Hughes

Colton Reyes
Ah yes. The perfect defense to existential depression. Detached cynicism.
Guys, instead of wallowing in self pity like Bojack, or pretending everything will always be fine like PB, try working through your fears and issues. Stop and think. Don't let your emotions and pride overtake you. Understand empathy.

I'm just butthurt because this friend I have has an attitude like Mr. PB, does terrible shit like Bojack and gets away with it because he's attractive, has money from his parents and people like him.
It just isn't fair. I do something half as bad and people shit on the regular guy and even if I get away with it, I feel bad about it later because I have a sense of right and wrong. It's like Bojack says, "At least I know I'm an asshole and that makes it better. Or does that make it worse?"
I just don't see the point anymore.
Jayden Wright
this... hits me everytime.

You qualify "sex" with the descriptor "meaningless." Do you deny that deep down you believe that sex (in the "correct" way) will absolve your sins? How very... mundanely human.

Sebastian Ross
He's talking about fame, but it also applies to family.
I'd imagine a lot of people in this thread also thinks it applies to friends, since a symptom of depression is a belief that your friends don't like you and are only putting up with you, but that's not really a thing in reality.
Anthony Martin
You have no friends

Most people today aren't really "depressed", they just develop anhedonia from being constantly overstimulated by passively consuming content without expending energy.
Parker Smith

Isn't anhedonia part of depressive disorders?, your are talking about it as if was a new trend like people labelling themselves as aspergers.

Dominic Flores
I may be reading into it way too much, but I interpreted that joke as basically a microcosm of the entire show and everything it's about. Both "parts" feature people in a world much larger, more complicated, and arguably random/chaotic than they're comfortable admitting. In their attempts to impose order/meaning on their lives, they only end up hurting themselves and possibly others. In the case of the gardener, his inability to just let go of the mulch thing inadvertently creates a "problem" for the chihuahua. The chihuahua, on the other hand, interprets this innocuous and totally random(from his perspective) phenomena as a scary threat purely because of a made up and arguably unjustified fantasy. Particularly in the latter case, sometimes there IS a greater "order" or "reason" why things happen, but it's often so crazy and outside the scope of our own lives that we can't possibly hope to understand it, and even if we could, it wouldn't be satisfying. And finally, if you want to get really meta, you could interpret the entire show as a kind of "joke" from our perspective, that things happen to Bojack and co. that don't make sense to them but do to us from our outside perspective. And just like Bojack, a lot of us don't fully realize how much we resemble the characters in the joke and their futile struggles.
Mason Baker
If he isn't wrong, it's a hell of an equivocation to suggest that the phrase 'peak of capitalism' means 'the point at which the market was most laissez-faire.' It's at best a gross mischaracterization to suggest that free market post-industrial capitalism is the only or purest form of capitalism, and it speaks nothing to the influence of a capitalist system on our lives or the general breadth, scope or raw size of that system.
I mean, come on. He's suggesting that the 'peak of capitalism' came before Ford revolutionized the assembly line. That's mind boggling.
Zachary Gonzalez
I watched again the first chapter of seaon 1 and Todd was a weed idiot with selfish ideas who lived from Bojack's indifference. Why he changed so much for bad? He is now an imaginative asexual guy who dated a celebrity and delivers wacky antics, why they ruined him?
Alexander Richardson
Not feeling gratification because of depression and being locked into a diminishing returns on enjoyment because you keep burning out your dopamine transporders are different. One doesn't always imply the other. It's not a new trend of labeling, because people don't realize they have develop anhedonia and then after a couple of month of realizing they're unable to get really of anything short of dozens of hours of tv or videogames or copious amounts of weed they become "depressed" about it, as in start to process this intellectually while misattributing the source of the problem..
Jeremiah Ramirez
Don't fetishize your sadness.
Owen Martin
>He's suggesting that the 'peak of capitalism' came before Ford revolutionized the assembly line. That's mind boggling.
But it's true, because out of fear for over-production capitalists created marketing os consumption towards desire, instead necessity.
Right -- because of fear that the market couldn't expand once all needs were met lead us to market towards consumption which necessarily expanded the market.
So the market kept expanding both in raw size and in cultural and social impact -- and yet somehow it peaked when we decided to expand it?

Pic related is the reason, though I like the way he became the vehicle for setting up crazy plots, the dynamic between him and Mr. PB is comfy.

ok
Joshua Morales
This line is underappreciated. Really shows how self-aware the writing is, especially when Bojack steals it from PC to use on Diane
Oliver Perry
God season 4 is a shit show, all the jokes fall flat or are shit and the drama has started taking over more and more to the point where this show needs to stop trying to be a comedy and embrace drama/tragedy
Mason Sullivan
PC? He stole it from Ana, which says a lot more about it. Not saying there isn't some truth there, but I think the big point of S3 was not to listen to other people, regardless of whether it's "good" advice or not. Consider the thing with Greg Kinglear, for example.
David Butler
Nah, Diane is a terrible character. and horrible person.
Caleb Collins
It's just sad and tiring seeing the lack of justice in the world. That and getting ahead takes playing by the rules. Being ruthless can get you ahead in your career and women but you don't necessarily want to be that type of guy.
I just wish I was a sociopath.
Landon Perez
So, why does she have Bojack's diamond spot?
Also, that OJ Simpsons scene went right over my head the first time.
Gavin Watson
Forgot the pic.
Justin Martinez
Because Butterscotch's mom, her grandmother, had a spot like that. He tells Beatrice in a flashback.
Isaac Cook
Oh, was that during Beatrice' ball? Makes sense then, thanks.

My god this show is shit. The only interesting parts is when bojack is in own head destroying himself.
Everything else is bullshit.
Lincoln Smith
80% of the show is Bojack in his own head destroying himself. What more do you want?
Hunter Carter
>tfw he's gone
Ayden Jackson
Yeah. That was a bit quick. Same with what his name mouse guy. I feel like Caroline's ending was a bit rushed.
Evan Taylor
>80% of the show is Bojack in his own head destroying himself. What more do you want?
Less of the rest of the cast who no one gives a shit about. They don't really do anything interesting and they take up far too much screentime.
Julian Diaz
>wanting less Mr. Peanutbutter You can go and stay gone
Luke Hall
at least it only happened to one character... so far.
everyone else is growing, and every season we learn something new about everyone.
Luke Parker
>>wanting less Mr. Peanutbutter >You can go and stay gone
Wanting more of the one note joke with the stupid name.
Evan Cook
fame, family, whatever. People who don't know the true you, basically. I had a gf like that because I was famous in my circle she liked the idea of me but not the actual me that she got to know. Had to ditch her.
Blake Ortiz
To be fair, this has only happened to Todd, who was always kind of a one-note character who basically existed to interact with Bojack. Plus, it happened as early as season two, so at this point, it's more his actual character than the original todd was.
Ethan Moore
I just watched Time's Arrow.
I never thought I'd feel bad for Beatrice, but this season did it.
Christopher Powell
I don't know, the whole flashback thing veered dangerously close to "it's all my parents/genetics' fault!" and Hollyhock is also basically "thing/person that randomly comes along and magically fixes everything"
Levi Foster
It's been like that with Bojack since the first season. In the first episode of the second, Bojack's mother even tells him that she doesn't think he ever had a chance because he came from broken people.
This was just extrapolating it back a bit further, and showing how she took on that attitude.
Eli Gray
Beatrice... had a hard life. She needs some time to rest.
Isaac Rogers
>If you claim to be alright with being alone you're lying, you're actually miserable and lonely on the inside.
Not everyone is like you, user.
Adam Collins
>what happened to her and Honey especially Yeah I think Joseph took the title of worst person in the show straight out of Bojack and Beatrice's combined hands
Julian Bennett
It started out that way, but the second and especially third seasons were building up to "you are all the things that are wrong with you," "you have to be responsible for your own happiness." What the hell happened to that?
Adam Cruz
Also, I thought it was nice that Bojack tried to make his mother happy at the end, even if it was a lie.
Juan Lewis
I mean, I think it still was that way. Bojack's biggest moment was when he finally got a chance to tear into his mother, but didn't. He decided to abandon his past and move on.
Owen Johnson
Joe did nothing wrong
Gabriel Gray
He was just acting out of circumstance, he was a child of his time.
Jonathan Stewart
Made me think Beatrice would've been a good person if not for Butterscotch.
Elijah Butler
Barely. Showing Beatrice's backstory was completely nonsensical. If the point was to show how Bojack was moving on and forgiving his mother, then it would've been more powerful if we DIDN'T know her life story and still thought she was an asshole.
I hate to be that guy but it really felt like the sole point of the flashbacks was to make some halfbaked "social commentary" about "toxic 40s patriarchal culture"
Christopher White
>reddit and memey for people that think they're above reddit and memey >tumblrjack numaleman
Michael Anderson
Yeah, in the end it sorta felt like bad fathers are the source of all evil, rather than bad mothers.
The point was to flesh out Beatrice as a character, and to set up the "twist" about Hollyhock.
You sound like the ugliest son of a bitch I have ever heard.
Jayden Gonzalez
>Yeah, in the end it sorta felt like bad fathers are the source of all evil, rather than bad mothers. Are you serious right now
Nolan Lee
What is there to be depressed about? You have it so much better than most people ever had in human history. You're not some wreck of a human being with this deep and tragic past who cries because he doesn't understand life. Stop pretending to be.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
No, not really. That was a rather sloppy post. My bad.
