You know, sometimes I think I was born with a leak, and any goodness I started with just slowly spilled out of me and now it's all gone. And I'll never get it back in me. It's too late. Life is a series of closing doors, isn't it?

'Cause I—I think the show's actually pretty solid for what it is. It's not Ibsen, sure—but look, for a lot of people, life is just one long, hard kick in the urethra. And sometimes, when you get home from a long day of getting kicked in the urethra, you just want to watch a show about good, likable people who love each other. Where, y'know, no matter what happens, at the end of 30 minutes... everything's gonna turn out okay. Y'know, because in real life... Did I already say the thing about the urethra?

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.

My question is for Diane. Look, I'm sorry about all the stuff I said about you earlier. We can publish the book you wrote. You're obviously a better writer than I am, and I don't actually even really care what the world thinks about me anymore. I just hated reading that book because I hated feeling like that's how you saw me. Because I guess you know me better than anybody, and if you think that— Um, I guess my question is, do you.. Do you think it's too late for me? I mean, am I just doomed to be the person that I am? The The person in that book? It's not too late for me, is it? It's— It's not too late Diane, I need you to tell me that it's not too late. I— I need you to tell me that I'm a good person. I know that I can be selfish and narcissistic and self-destructive, but underneath all that, deep down, I'm a good person, and I need you to tell me that I'm good, Diane. Tell me, please, Diane. Tell me that I'm good.

The funeral was huge. There were so many people there. I kept thinking, "I did this to her," and everyone was just standing around like, "Well, this was bound to happen," but it wasn't bound to happen. I don't know how to be, Diane. It doesn't get better and it doesn't get easier. I can't keep lying to myself, saying "I'm gonna change." I'm poison - I come from poison. I have poison inside me, and I destroy everything I touch. That's my legacy. I have nothing to show for the life that I've lived, and I have nobody in my life who's better off for having known me.

Then after the show, I'll come out and say hello. And she'll say, "BoJack? Is that you?" When her eyes spark with recognition, I'm gonna sit down next to her, I'm gonna squeeze her hand and get real close and say - "Fuck you, Mom." I can finally tell her off! I'm gonna say, "Look at you", you old piece of shit, rotting in a nursing home!" - Now I have the power! Oh, it's gonna be great! I can't wait to see the look on her face. Okay, let's do this.

Background
BoJack F. Horseman is the main character of BoJack Horseman. BoJack was raised by parents that barely cared for BoJack and treated him as a clown and that he ruined his mom's life. BoJack would watch Secretariat and wanted to be just like him. Secretariat would tell BoJack on TV that what he should do is just keep on running which was words he internalized. After Secretariat killed himself, BoJack went to comedy as comfort. BoJack's mom started throwing dinner parties and when BoJack told his mom that he wanted to stop singing the Lolipop song, she told him no one cares about what he thinks and how he needs to keep performing which was a message he would later share to Sarah Lynn in his adult years. All BoJack wanted to do as a child was to make his parents happy but they never showed him even an ounce of love. BoJack became a famous TV Star in the 90's after he moved away from his abusive parents in order to seek attention from other people and a better life. Despite Horsin' Around getting negative reviews, it was a massive success that made BoJack a star in Hollywood. Due to BoJack's abusive childhood and with how much fame corrupted him, he would eventually turn in a person who extremely selfish and was willing to let his friends take the fall for the things he did, and he scarred Sarah Lynn for life and would eventually take advantage of her in her adult years. After the show ended, BoJack started a new show known as The BoJack Horseman Show which just hurt his reputation more and was massive flop. During this time, BoJack would try to get Sarah Lynn on the show which she rejected and was hurt by BoJack as all she wanted to see was a friend. After the show ended, BoJack's father would die in 2009.
BoJack is a desperate person who wants to keep everyone in his life near him despite is toxic and self-destructive habits. BoJack is aware this and despite how much he hates himself for his actions, he normally fails to change. His actions would lead to many of his friends leaving him, the death of Sarah Lynn (although he didn't mean for her to die), and multiple lives being ruined or harmed because of him. BoJack tried to take his life many times but always found a reason to keep going or made sure he could survive. BoJack can best be described as a "self-pitying masochist".

BoJack later gets the doll back with the help of Mr. Peanutbutter.

He starts talking about how he doesn't deserve love with Mr. Peanutbutter telling him everyone deserves love[119]. Once he gets home and gives back the doll to his mom, his mind floods with negative thoughts to stop him from talking to Hollyhock but he manages to fight against it and after hearing that Hollyhock has her own voice inside of her, BoJack lies to her and says that it will go away[120]. Due to BoJack's own fears because of what he experienced in Holloywoo, he starts looking at this guy who Hollyhock was seeing and wanted to prove that he was a jerk[121]. BoJack tries to tell her that he doesn't actually love him since he hangs out around hot women all the time and she takes that as BoJack is calling her fat[122]. BoJack later discovered that the guy was actually a jerk and was willing to break up with Hollyhock if BoJack made a deal with them[123]. Once he gets home, he tells Hollyhock that she is beautiful[124].

Despite BoJack wanted to say "Fuck you" to his mom, after she gained the ability to recognize him, but BoJack instead tried to comfort his mother despite all the awful things she did to him[126].

What happened was his father knocked up Henrietta and it was her baby[128]. He gave the dads Henrietta's number and Hollyhock later called BoJack and thanked him[129]. In Season 5, BoJack starts working on a new show called Philbert and complains about the writing[130]. BoJack says that the show is too "gratuitous and male-gaze" so in response, he has to a nude scene rather than the female actors who were fine with doing these scenes in the first place[131]. BoJack eventually agreed to do the scene despite how self-conscious he is[132]. When Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter broke up, BoJack invited Diane to stay at his house if they wanted to although they declined[133]. BoJack wanted to make a romantic relationship with Gina and managed to succeed[134]. BoJack grabbed one of her earbuds to listen to a song she was listening too and it was a musical about corn as Gina always wanted to sing but BoJack just kept teasing her for the music she listens too[135]. BoJack pressures her to sing by saying how she never has never done it so it can't hurt and when she finally agrees to sing, her singing turns out to be awful and she is left embarrassed[136]. BoJack made a disgusted face after sniffing some cheese which gets twisted as BoJack having disgust for Vance Waggoner[137]. BoJack goes on The Squawk but isn't able to explain himself and he ends up doing the opposite of he was supposed to do by saying that choking women is bad[138]. Vance then called the show BoJack was working on sexist which even Diane agrees to being sexist, so she gets a job on the show so people cannot say it is sexist[139]. Diane later talks to Ana who gave her a tape about BoJack's confession to that news reporter about what happened in New Mexico[140]. BoJack started having to take drugs because of accident on Philbert[141]. BoJack gives a eulogy at a funereal and makes jokes at his dead mother and calls her a bitch[142]. he said how his mother had never treated him with any love and how getting a free churro was nicer than anything that she has even done for him[143]. But BoJack still feels terrible about his mom's death as all he wanted his entire life was for her to love him and now that is impossible[144]. BoJack falls into denial about his grief and Diane is mad at BoJack for not telling him what happened in New Mexico[145]. BoJack started getting therapy from Diane's therapist which made her furious but she realized that BoJack needs therapy more than herself[146]. BoJack leaves however as all he wanted was someone to talk to[147]. Diane gets mad at BoJack after saying they are the same and reveals that she knows about what BoJack did in New Mexico by rewriting the script of Philbert[148]. BoJack started drinking less Vodka each day[149]. Hollyhock threw out BoJack's pills after the memories of being drugged but BoJack says that those were for his back and he needed them[150]. BoJack was desperate for his pills that accepted going to a drug dealer and Hollyhock found that BoJack didn't need the pills at all[151]. BoJack then got into an accident so he would keep getting pills to fuel his drug addiction[152]. BoJack uses the terrible things that Philbert did in the show to try to justify his terrible actions which upsets Diane[153]. BoJack talked to Diane about how his entire life, he's felt shitty for all of the things he's done and how he's the one who is always harmed the most[154]. Diane gets mad at him tells him that he hasn't changed at all and he told Diane that he's never going to change[155]. BoJack then admits to Diane about what happened in New Mexico and their friendship is over[156]. BoJack's drug addiction starts messing up his view of reality and he sees himself as BoJack and Philbert and believes that the entire show was written to take him down[157]. He gets a note saying he knows what he did which drives him so paranoid that he actually considered calling Penny's mother to see if she was trying to take him down but instead called the clueless father[158]. BoJack then sees a musical while high of every single bad thing he's ever done with the message "Don't stop dancing" which scarred him as a child[159]. Gina steals BoJack's painkillers and leaves him but BoJack gets his hands on the painkillers as he dropped them[160]. BoJack while high went back on set and nearly choked Gina to death in a scene in which he was supposed to be fake choking her which ended their relationship[161] and caused PTSD in Gina[162]. After those events, all BoJack wanted to do was come clean about his actions[163]. But Gina told him not to because she doesn't want to remember as another victim of BoJack and he's forced to lie about his actions in the interviewCite error: Closing </ref>

tag. He started questioning if rehab even works though as Jameson had been in rehab five times and hasn't gotten better[164]. He also accidentally helped Jameson escape[165]. BoJack went along with Jameson and destroyed her dad's car because of memories of his own shitty dad[166]. BoJack accidentally got Doctor Champ to turn back into an alcoholic by his water bottle with alcohol getting into the water supply[167]. Note that he had it as a symbol and he wasn't planning on drinking it. BoJack then tried to help Doctor Champ to stop drinking alcohol but Doctor Champ refused to change and told him that he destroys the lives of those near him[168]. BoJack tried to make his friends' lives better[169]. He cleaned Diane's apartment and showed thanks for her believing in him, he was able to get Todd a girlfriend, and he gave Mr. Peanutbutter the crossover episode he always wanted[170]. BoJack later became a teacher in order to teach kids about acting[171]. BoJack even tried to save one of his students from becoming a Hollywoo star because of how badly Hollywoo (formerly called Hollywood) had corrupted him[172]. BoJack's sins had finally caught up with him and while he avoided cancellation in the first interview, he chose to do another one that was not staged simply out of pride[173]. BoJack was not only torn apart in the interview but it leads the audience with the question if BoJack actually has power over women due to the amount of women he's taken advantage of in his life and if he could have saved Sarah Lynn because he waited seventeen minutes before even calling a ambulance[174]. BoJack had lost everything and became poor. No one wanted to work with him except for Vance[175] who had committed several crimes such as abusing women and his own family and actual pedophilic acts such as sexting a minor[176] and BoJack only agreed because he needed money desperately. BoJack went on a massive bender which broke his soberness and Bojack broke into his sold house[177]. While in there, he almost killed himself by laying in his pool and he sent a message to Diane saying that they would save him if they liked him[178]. While in the pool, BoJack went into a dream-like state in which he met every single person who has either abused him or has died near him[179]. BoJack tries to apologize for his actions but is shut down[180]. While in this state, he tries to find a way out but fails and is consumed by the tar that everyone else was consumed by[181]. BoJack was thrown in prison for his actions but he managed to find happiness in prison and apologized to Diane for what he said to her[182])

BoJack insulted his friend's Rock Opera by calling it "worse than a hundred September Elevens" and he later sabotaged his Rock Opera by getting him addicted to a video game so he wouldn't move out[190]. He has a natural charisma according to Diane)

Note: Do not attempt to upgrade BoJack based off him being able to damage a wall and survive this as these feats wouldn't even be above Tier 10.

- BoJack hates honeydew, and once a season he, or sometimes another character, will be seen mentioning it, showing disgust for it, or ranting about it.
- In the Season 1 episode One Trick Pony, he complains how on set there is too much honeydew in the fruit bowl.
- It is also revealed Princess Carolyn also hates it, calling it garbage fruit, although later Mr. Peanutbutter is revealed to love it.
- In the Season 2 episode Hank After Dark, while talking to Wanda on the phone he gets distracted by honeydew on the fruit plates backstage at MSNBSea and angrily rants about how "whenever cantalope gets invited to a party it thinks it can bring its lame friend honeydew."

- In the Season 3 episode Stop the Presses, Ana reveals to BoJack her favorite fruit is honeydew, to which BoJack reacts in disgust.
- In the Season 4 episode What Time is It Right Now, Hollyhock mentions during her call to BoJack that the airport she’s at charged her ten dollars for a fruit cup and its mostly honeydew, which angers BoJack. Hollyhock also expresses her disgust, calling it the worst part of everything it’s in - the Jared Leto of fruits
- In the Season 5 episode Planned Obsolescence, BoJack is offended Gina would rather listen to her music than listen to him rant about the fruit spread. Gina questions if its honeydew related, BoJack says it’s in the honeydew area but the specifics keep it fresh.

- In part two of Season 6, in the finale Nice While It Lasted, BoJack actually tries honeydew at Princess Carolyn and Judah’s wedding and finally admits it’s not bad.
- The centerfold of BoJack from the 90s is parodied after a centerfold Burt Reynolds took for Cosmopolitan in April 1972.

- Incidentally, the neighborhood is home to Sunset Ranch, which is well-known for horseback riding. It's also quite close to Griffith Observatory, which was of great sentimental significance to BoJack and Herb Kazzaz as well as the location of Sarah Lynn's overdose.
- The writers have stated that they only have someone say the f word once per season, and it only happens when BoJack has permanently ruined a relationship:
- In Season 1 it was Herb Kazzaz in The Telescope, when he was going to die soon from rectal cancer and he rejected BoJack’s apology for abandoning him in the 90s after the network executives fired him for being caught in a gay-related scandal. Herb wasn’t upset about getting fired, but the fact that BoJack betrayed him, and he says “Now get the fuck out of my house!”
- Season 2 was Charlotte Moore in Escape from L.A., after she caught him in bed (on his boat) with Penny, with Penny about to undress him. This scene happens after BoJack and Charlotte kiss and he begs her to run away with him and confesses he’s loved her all this time, and she rejected him and tells him to leave because he makes her too sad. After Charlotte orders Penny to go to her room she tells BoJack to leave in 30 minutes or she’ll call the police, and “if you ever try to contact me or my family again, I will fucking kill you."
- Season 3 was Todd Chavez in It's You, after BoJack reveals that he slept with Emily, whom Todd had been trying to figure out his feelings for. BoJack tries to apologize, but Todd says feeling bad for the shitty things doesn’t make them ok (which is what BoJack keeps doing). He also tells BoJack “You are everything that is wrong with you. It’s not the drugs, or the alcohol, or the shitty things that happened to you in your career, or when you were a kid. It’s you.” He then says “Fuck, man. What else is there to say?”
- Season 4 is actually BoJack’s himself, in Thoughts and Prayers. He takes Hollyhock to visits Beatrice at her nursing home and discovers she has dementia and no longer recognizes him. He cooks up a plan to get her to recognize him, and he says when she does, he’ll squeeze her hand, get real close, and say “Fuck You, Mom!," in order to tell her off for being a horrible mother to him.
- Season 5 was Gina Cazador in The Showstopper, after BoJack, after having mistaken his show Philbert and reality for each other for the entire episode under the influence of pills and alcohol despite her best efforts, almost strangles her to death while shooting a scene. After they are pulled apart by the crew, Gina says "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

- He has had more than 100 sexual partners throughout his life.
- BoJack still has the sweater he wore on Horsin' Around, but now his stomach hangs out of it, due to him being much slimmer during those years.
- In Thoughts and Prayers, it revealed that BoJack played football when he was a teenager.
- The episode also revealed that in 8th grade he was in choir. He describes his solo a bit "shaky", and his mother pretended not to know him and forces him to get a ride home from the pianist who according to BoJack, "liked to tickle more than just the ivories." When BoJack came home safe, his mother said "I guess nobody wants you."
- This is why he is skeptical of her dementia at first.

- The blue pentagon-shaped pills are likely a form of dexamethasone, which treats inflammation
- Pain Free, which is likely just ibuprofen (pain killers)
- In The View from Halfway Down, during the dinner, Zach Braff serves BoJack pills. Since everyone's meals are what they ate or encountered right before they died, BoJack is served pills because he died from a drug overdose.
- BoJack and Diane are the only main characters to have design changes within the series:
- In BoJack's case, in The Face of Depression he gets a new outfit and he stops dying his hair and has it cut shorter.
- BoJack was a Scientologist for a brief period in the 90s.
