One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

>because of those fans, the show is becoming easy to hate

C’mon. The American people are a bunch of morons, but no one voted for a grey commenting system. That’s just sick.

Trump will sign this bill if it is placed in front of him. Trump will sign any piece of paper put in front of him. Trump likes proving he can sign his name.

“And then, somewhere in the middle of the credits, I remembered that no, it’s not okay to take it out on your child like that, you’re still a monster and I’m not falling for it.”

Last season Todd told Bojack he had to be better

My girlfriend, whose mom is pretty similar to Beatrice, saw that moment as less “Bojack being kind to his mother in her final days,” and more “Bojack caving in and performing for his mother thus fulfilling the role she has assigned him.” It’s an interesting take.

The season had been teasing a grander view at Bea’s backstory for a while, and it was genuinely moving to see it all play out here, albeit through the warped lens of her addled mind. By the end of the episode, I felt like I understood the decisions Bea had made, the perfectly relatable reasons she’d made the mistakes…

“Can you taste the ice cream, Mom?” “Oh Bojack. It’s so.. delicious”. I was prepared for this episode to end with Bojack saying or doing something awful to his mother, because that’s what Bojack always does, but for him to show kindness? To put his lifetime of justified grievances with his mother behind him to give a…

Podcasts. I still haven’t hopped full onto the Macelroy train as much as all my friends consume all of their ever expanding universe of shows, as I still retain some of my dignity.

Rick and Morty. I watched the pilot when it aired, thought it was mediocre, and didn’t understand why people kept making such a big deal about the show. Then, after the second season aired, I decided to give the show a second chance, but started with what was on demand on the cable box (the first half of the second…

Unflappable ;) 

Props to Biel for taking it like a champ, honestly. “Future hard Jeopardy question” in my new favorite insult.

I’m a fan of Drunk Diane. She can juggle!

I dug the running joke about the guy who has a tiny orgasm every time he senses a shift in power. The setup’s a little clunky, but it just keeps paying off.

“I’m wondering how the narrative could have shifted if not every one of the protesters was depicted as a sloppy redneck. Many of the marchers at Charlottesville appeared soft-spoken at first, with a modern, clean-cut uniform of white polo shirts and khakis.”

Yeah when Hollyhock asked does that voice go away it really smacked me hard because it was so obviously a “not at all” answer, yet no one would want to tell their loved ones that. While these episodes are always a kick in the urethra, it is somewhat comforting knowing that there are other people out there that know…

This is where my initial binge session stopped. For a good day or so.

I was very much looking forward to this review, for all the reasons Les mentions about its damn near spot-on portrayal of depression. I got a feeling there are two basic responses to BoJack’s abusive asshole of an inner monologue: “Why is he so down on himself all the time?” and “Yep, that’s totally fuckin’ me.”

...I think this is my favourite episode of the whole show. I think it’s actually a better and more creative episode than ‘Fish Out of Water’ (which I loved too). The scenes in BoJack’s brain were brilliant, I loved the animation style, the music, the anger in his words, it was actually hard seeing exactly how deep and…
