The Free Churro Video 

I think the whole 'wrong funeral' thing was another instance of something I noticed throughout the series. Whenever Bojack comes to a meaningful conclusion or says something profound, nobody important is around to hear it. You see it in the underwater episode where he's trying to apologize to Kelsey with a really beautifully worded note, but the note is washed away and she never gets it. In the planetarium, Sarah Lynn is unconscious before she can hear him reassure her and talk about the present moment. It happens over and over again. I guess it's the whole thing of being seen. Nobody is ever there to see Bojack at his best moments.

The other interesting thing about the ending of this episode is that it also heavily implies Bojack has no idea who would show up to Beatrice’s funeral. You would think the room full of lizards would be a good indication, but Bojack is so estranged from his mom that he has no clue who her friends are or who cared enough to show up. For all he knows, she just hung out with a lot of lizards.

The most surreal part of this episode was that Jack in the Box ran a bizarre promotion where, if you mentioned the episode, they would give you a free order of mini churros with your purchase. So I watched this episode, drove to Jack in the Box feeling absolutely gutted about what I had just seen, and got free churros. Truly a bizarre tie-in, but actually really immersive

No Other Show Could Make Me Watch a Single Character Talking for 20 Minutes Straight

I liked the ending. The fact that a room of strangers let this man they never met vent over his mothers death was very nice of them

also the line "i'm your son. all i had was you." is one of my favourite lines in all of television. like fuck, if you've ever had an abusive parent/grandparent that line hits like a ton of bricks

The saddest part of the episode for me is when he realizes that his mother wasn’t seeing him, that part wrecked me because I saw him losing his one chance to feel love and a sense of care from his mother.

As a matter of fact, the room full of lizards is also a gag! They aren't lizards, they're mourning geckos! It's brilliant, just brilliant

I interpreted the "wrong funeral" bit to reflect how Bojack had no idea who Beatrice's friends were, if she had any at all. For all he knew, all of the reptiles were her friends.

I like how the lizards don't interrupt him. Either they were too awkward, they were invested in his speech, or they just didn't care.

I always felt the gag at the end was to illustrate the cycle and irony of pain between Bojack and Beatrice. He spends the entire time lamenting not being seen, only for it to be revealed that he didn't see he was in the wrong place. Because Beatrice couldn't see him, Bojack can see no one but himself.

Every time I hear the "half a mind" line I almost lose it. That's gotta be the biggest gut punch from any show I've seen in a very long time, and it was from a horse in an animated show.

Free Churro is 100% my favorite Bojack Horseman episode. it's perfection.

I think what hits so much harder for me about the Beatrice centered episodes, is that, as someone who came from abusive parents, and had a rocky relationship with my mother (of whom would go on to die in a nursing home like Bea did), it helped me understand that my parents were flawed people raised by flawed people. It helped me understand my mom and dad so much more, and why, they acted the way they did. So while hard to watch, I love that the end message is “be better than what came before you, even if you come from trauma.”

one of my favorite moments in the previous episode is when he is complaining about the philbert script having a 5 page monologue and how no one wants to watch that. Then they do that very thing with free churro and it is one of the best episodes of television to exist. This show is so brilliant.

The ICU twist will always be a sad revelation for Bojack and the fact that his Mother never actually saw him. Great analysis!

Another thing about A Doll’s House is that there is actually an “alternative” ending in the play. For the German premiere of the play, Ibsen’s agent essentially forced him to create a new ending. Instead of leaving, Nora is led to her children after arguing with her husband and ends up collapsing. It’s implied that she stayed for the sake of her children. It’s not known if Beatrice saw this alternative ending or the true ending. She may have felt that, unlike Nora, she had no possibility for escape. She was too stubborn to step away from Butterscotch, as that would mean she made a mistake in marrying him in the first place (she does the crossword in sharpie, so like Kelsey, she “doesn’t make mistakes”). Funnily enough, she initially rejected becoming a standard housewife like Nora, that’s why she went out with Butterscotch in the first place. Her act of defiance against her father landed her in the same exact position anyway, so in her mind, there is no escape. And if she did see the alternative ending, she may have realized that she doesn’t even want to stay in the marriage for her child. Either way, she realized she had nothing. And that’s profoundly sad.

Beatrice's awakening after seeing "A Doll's House" is part of what I feel compelled her to be an absolutely horrible mother to Bojack. She didn't just neglect him because she was damaged: she neglected him out of a moral stance. Neglecting him was her form of rebellion. Her way of vengeance against the men in her life. And men in general. The one "good" thing she believes she did was to "save" Hollyhock's mother from making the same mistake and ruining her own life for the sake of "that". "That" here, being both Bojack and Holly. After Beatrice saw Ibsen's play, she realized: She regrets Bojack's existence and resents how his merely being alive anchored her to Butterscotch. She realized how much she lost by being "played" by her father and now her husband. She felt like they stole from her. Stole her childhood, her choices, her futures. And now? Her son is next in line. The next one to siphon away whatever life and agency she has left. The next man in her life to jerk her around like a toy, and she refused to have it. She hardened her heart and saw Bojack differently after that. He wasn't someone to protect or nurture--he was an enemy to defeat. He could ruin her the same way her brother ruined their mother. She will not love him. Will never give him or any of the other men in her life the same kind of power over her again. Let them see her as cruel, cold, and difficult. But she'd be damned to give them anything else after everything else that was taken from her. After Doll House, Beatrice believed no woman should lose what she saw as their personhood to anyone. Least of all to the men in their lives. Even if the man in question is her little son. She doesn't care that Bojack was trying so hard to please her. It doesn't matter. She loathes him for merely being alive. She thinks he owes her everything and she owes him nothing. She will not give another "him" anything more. She's here to take from him, not give. To take as much from Bojack as her father, brother, and husband took from her and what she was entitled to.

“Suddenly, you realize you’ll never have the good relationship you wanted, and as long as they were alive, even though you’d never admit it, part of you, the stupidest goddamned part of you, was still holding on to that chance. And you didn’t even realize it until that chance went away.” That line rocked me to my core. I can still hear myself crying for my dad as a little girl and I feel terrible that I was never able to give that relationship to her

I actually like how Beatrice dies before Bojack gets cancelled in season six she was in a way waiting for him to fail basically proving her right but i like how she dosen't live to see it robbing her of the potential enjoyment she would have gotten out of it just like how she robbed Bojack of a good childhood

It's still hard to fathom that both the lines "You were born broken, that's your birthright." and "There's only one way out of this: Apple slices and story time!" came out of the same mouth, and both sounded like the voice really meant it. Wendie Malick deserves all the applause!

When BoJack says that you have to be good consistently, I always saw that as a callback to the monkey at the end of season 2 when he says "But you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part."

Something I noticed is that when Herb died and the Horsin' Around cast goes on the scavenger hunt, BoJack was trying to see if the computer password was something indicating forgiveness towards himself before Herb died, and it wasn’t. When Beatrice and Herb were gone, he still believed his relationships with them could still be preserved, and they would never be.

I just rewatched the episode and noticed that when Butterscotch is picking up Bojack, he says "Yes, yes, I see you." I feel like there's a lot to say about that, It subtly foreshadows the "I see you" portion of the eulogy. Butterscotch is clearly being dismissive of Bojack and only thinking of himself. It speaks to his nature. Bojack was never able to accept his parent's nature, or his own.

He actually pointed out some details that I would never have noticed otherwise. Possibly the best thing about BH is how the closer you look at it, the more you think about it, you just appreciate it more and more. Not many shows can do that. Not many shows have such depth, detail and hidden meaning.

Hearing you talk about interpretation reminded me of Todd Chavez’s quote on art: “Isn’t the point of art less what people put into it, and more what people get out of it?” Always hit me ♥️

It's absolutely insane that one character speaking with only a few different angles for 20+ minutes can be so entertaining. It does NOT get boring even though you think it would be.

I really like the way it ends. We never see the audience, because the end of the episode is the first time Bojack himself notices. And it's not that he's an enormous bonehead, it's just that he was so focused on himself the entire time that he didn't take basic stock of who was at the funeral. Moreover, it recontextualizes the whole episode. One of the most poignant, meaningful twenty minutes of dialogue ever delivered, and right as we come out of it, we realize that no one was even listening. The only people who heard about Beatrice didn't know who she was, and the revelations Bojack came to over the course of the monologue were, effectively, unseen. The implication is that now, he has to go to the correct funeral parlor and try to deliver the eulogy again, having already said everything he wants to say about his mom, and having already come to the realization that the crux of his speech, the "I See You" line, was a simple misinterpretation. *Fuck,* that's dark.

Free churro has always been my favorite episode. As someone who grew up with an abusive mother this one hits hard. In a weird way it brings a sense of comfort. It reminds me why I cut off my mom.

honestly, as someone that has been abused by my parents up until a certain point in my life, i feel like "free churro" really does a great job portraying those sorts of relationships as what it is - messy and complicated. it's not always black and white like people think they are, like "i hate my mother because she's abusive", but way deeper than that.

A year and a half ago, I got a call that my (very very estranged) father had been in a serious motorcycle accident. That he was in a coma in the ICU, that he’d lost a leg, a kidney, and his spleen, and things were “touch and go”. I felt absolutely nothing at all. That completely blindsided me. I could have understood being sad, or regretful, or angry, or remorseful, or suddenly desperate to reconnect with him, or whatever. What I wasn’t prepared for was to just feel “huh… well, that’s something.” That’s the main thing I kept reflecting on watching on that episode. That nothing about one’s emotions for an abusive or neglectful parent at a time of grief or potential grief ever seem to fit into tidy narratives. They never “make sense”. They never look like a TV show about the same events might look. They’re just… strange, and unpredictable, and messy, and self-contradictory.

"that small act of kindness Showed more compassion Than my mother gave me Her entire Goodman life" This one hits hard

That Title Is Deep, Man ✊😔😭

"I'm your son. All I had was you." is still one of my favourite line deliveries in television

This episode legitimately broke me, having been raised with a negligant alcoholic mother. This line, specifically, towards the end gets me everytime. "Suddenly, you realize you’ll never have the good relationship you wanted, and as long as they were alive, even though you’d never admit it, part of you, the stupidest goddamn part of you, was still holding on to that chance. And you didn’t even realize it until that chance went away." It's like a sharp blow to the gut hearing that because it hits the nail, with pin point accuracy, right on the head. Complicated grief is an absolute bitch.

I think the part that hits the hardest about this episode, comes from the people who come from dysfunctional families. It's a strange feeling, to grieve a parent you never really had but always wanted. You grieve what could never be, because "...you'll never have the good relationship you wanted." This episode made me cry and I had to take a break after. Best episode of the entire series.

Free Churro was my favorite episode from Season 5, and one of my top 3 of the whole show. The part where he turns to Beatrice and says, "I'm your son, all I had was you," broke me in undescribable ways.

pleaaaaase do "horse walks into rehab" next, its genuinely my fav episode and such an amazing change for bojacks character

Truly astounding how the entire episode is just bojack in the same room talking and it's one of the best episodes in the entire show

14:45 I think Todd put it best "but isn't the point of art less what people put into it and more what people get out of it?"

This is one of, if not THE best written and performed episodes of TV I have ever seen. A 23 minute masterpiece of emotion, nuance, psychology and philosophy leavened with humor. Will Arnett killed it and the writers… 💋

Defnitely my favourite out of the "gimmicky" episodes. I think it's just a testament to how well written Bojack's character is. The whole episode is just him letting his thoughts out freely without much rhyme or reason but that's why it's so interesting because it feels genuine

To this day, I’m still pissed off Will Arnett wasn’t nominated for an Emmy for this episode

This whole episode is just one gut punch after the other. The ICU twist absolutely wrecked me… What an outstanding piece of television this show is.

This was amazing as always Johnny! I would love to see your opinions on the episode “the Amelia Earhart style story” specifically about Princess Caroline’s past and how it enforced more of who she is today because of her relationship with her mother.

I think out of all the moments (and there are many, I think this episodes has the most haunting sentences) in this episode, the one that stayed with me the most and have never failed to completely break me is when Bojack drops the act for a bit in pure frustration and just yells at the coffin "I'm you're son! All I had was you!". It captures that raw desperation and the frustration of how things turned out perfectly. I relate to it a lot and it gives me headaches from how much it makes my eyebrows furrow and my nose tense up anytime I think about it.

Ive been waiting for this one! I am 14 years old and was abused by my mother my whole childhood until a couple years ago and she still effects my life. I feel like i related to this episode and it resinated with me more than almost any other in the series. I love your videos, i love this show, and i thank you for these.

I think the saddest part was that the stranger who gave him a free churro showed him more empathy than his mother ever did

Something else I wanted to talk about with Bojack being in the wrong room. This joke gets increasingly sad when you ask one fair question, who would be at her funeral? Bojack is her only living relative, she had no friends by the time she was in the nursing home, there's no way hollyhocks 8 Dad we're going to let her go anywhere near that woman after what she put her through, so other than Bojack who would have been there?

"Everything I learned about being good I learned from TV" This hits way too close to home for me to spend the rest of my day comfortably every time I hear it.

Free Churro always hits hard, because I feel the same way about my dad. I hate him for what he’s done to me and my family, but I still search for connection. I fear I always will, even after he dies.

Free Churro is one of my favorite episodes. It felt so cathartic to see Bojack give a eulogy about Beatrice and not be dressed up as praising or loving Beatrice because she was his mother (which I could see some sitcoms doing). I was happy to see him work through his grief of his mother not living up to his expectations of a mother who loves unconditionally. Especially as someone who has a complicated relationship with their mother who's emotionally abusive, this ep made me feel seen. Plus the fact everything I learned about love and relationships was through tv too. Also tempted to write a Free Churro monolgue to deal with my mother, but not at her funeral and in front of guests though

Will arnet's performance carries this episode so hard. What a truly fantastic actor

The irony I always found in bojack was that he always complained that no one saw him as a “real actor” but he doesn’t even know he’s as deep as someone who’s disconnected comes. If he had been truthful about his pain and turned it into something real with his acting he would’ve been a really great drama actor. Seriously even the VA for him is seriously underrated like Cranston level in my opinion. Great show as always

I always felt the ending, while yes, a joke, was also like the last chance he got to tell his mom what he really felt, and he didn't get a chance to.

This monologue was so cathartic to watch as I was the main person to take care of my abusive parent's funeral as well. It has so many things I wish I could've said myself when it happened. One of my favorite episodes 💚

Only at the end did I realize the episode was a monologue. I was so encapsulated that I didn’t even notice nothing else was going on in a show that’s full of quick wacky characters, situations, jokes, and quick pacing. Beautiful job to the writers in this one.

this season came out a few weeks before I lost my own mother suddenly at 21. She and I watched it together... I have never had a piece of media put into words exactly how I was feeling as well as this one and it still rings true every time I rewatch. My mom is dead, and everything is worse now.

Great video but I'm surprised you didn't talk about the part where Bojack start talking about his dad. In that moment Bojack reveals how his father died, defending his book in a dual. Also that Bojack has never read his dad's book, because "why would I give him that". As much as I love how the show goes into full detail with Beatrice's character Ann backstory, I always wanted to know more about his dad. We get a little of who he is here and there throughout Bojack and Beatrice's life stories but we never had an episode that talks about him. Why was it so important that he write this book? Why does he resent his wife for coming from money, and why did he stay with her if at some point he could have left her and married his secretary? Did he actually care about Bojack, like what we saw in view from halfway down? I know it's not too important because the idea is it's vague because he was barely in Bojack Life as a father but it would be nice to get a little more info on him.

i think it’s ironic how in the last episode of horsin around the doctor tells sarah lynn it’s her fault bojack died because she didn’t love him enough, but in reality it’s the other way around :(

I’ll never forget this episode as being the point in my marathon of the series that I said “I’ll take a break and go to the bathroom after this scene” and sitting there in desperation as it just kept going.

This episode and The View From Halfway Down are my favorite in the series. In this episode, there is an uncomfortable familiarity I feel when Bojack’s dad goes “Thank youuu?” after his diatribe about Beatrice. Like somehow Bojack should be thankful for the insane amounts of guilt his father throws at him for existing. This show was incredible.

Hearing bojack’s voice break when he said “bojack horseman I see you” really hurts,Will Arnett is such a damn good voice actor

This show does complex characters so well it’s insane

What if Beatrice did knock once, but Bojack was just in the wrong room

Surprised there's so little mention in either video and comments about the girl at the Jack in the Box who got the episode its name. I guess it's not substantial enough for much mention, but I thought it was at least notable for something, the strange contrast of this cold, unloving, yet eternal presence in Bojack's life and mind, and this one nobody who he passed by while getting some food and may never see again yet seemed to show more care for his feelings than she ever did. A lot of (deserved) love for the "I'm your son, all I had was you" bit but not enough appreciation for the preceding "This woman at the Jack in the Box didn't even know me". Both for how it ramps up the moment emotionally, but also makes clear that this isn't just a cruel, loveless world - it has good in it, and people who care, but Beatrice decided she would not be one of them. Having that love, even so minor from such an insignificant character, really pulls into focus his parents' lovelessness - you can't cast a shadow without light, after all. Plus, something to be said about just how insignificant and unrecognised that brief act of kindness was, and how our brains so often choose to dwell on negativity while letting positivity pass by. Things like that.

One of my favorite episodes, so glad to see your vid on it!

I love this episode because we get to see Bojack unpack all of his trauma with his mother, which is something we were waiting for since season 1. It took her dying for him to be able to voice how he really felt and his deepest desires to have a normal loving relationship with his mother. The saddest part of this episode is when Bojack comes to the realization that he will never really know if his mother loved him or not. Such a great episode. Thanks so much for breaking this down. ✨

I saw this episode a few days ago when my step brother passed away and I found a strange sense of calm, the way Bojack shows mixed feelings resonated with me.

This is one of the best episodes imo, no other show could make me cry at a Will Arnett character's 20 minute monologue about how he and his family hated each other. This show really isn't comfort media though, I know a lot of people who are put off by the show and it "making them depressed" and that's a shame because it has a lot of intelligent things to say. I played this for a friend yesterday (who hadn't seen any of the show outside of a few tiktok audio clips) and their takeaway was that they were bored the whole time, which is unfortunate. But I for one love this show because of the way it makes me feel, and BoJack and his interactions actually helped me work through a lot of the same family trauma detailed in this episode. All time favourite show, great vid as always!

Thank you so so much for taking a deeper dive into Free Churro! This episode solidified Will Arnett's status as a brilliant actor for me. All of your takes on this show make me connect and love it so much more. Keep up the great work as always, and I'll look forward to your next BoJack video ❤

this episode was fucking brilliant

The Intensive Care Unit Twist to I See You truly broke me on the first watch, to the point where I wanted to cry. Fav episode of the show for sure.

This episode blew me away the first time I watched it. It amazed me how a character could just talk for an entire episode and I was into it the entire time.

What you pointed out about bojack turning his eulogy into a performance and how that reflects his instilled *dont stop dancing* beliefs is something i never realized!! Thank you for the analysis >:0

I LOVEEE free churro The episode explains my relationship with myself and my family SOOO WELLL! Even though I moved out of my parent’s house, even though I cut them off all. I felt like I lost them, even though they aren’t dead. And I want to go back to them, even though they would hurt me. The monologue helps me sooo well

I feel like there's such a massive irony that Bojack glosses over his father as much as he can, really not caring about the guy as much compared to the complex over his mother. He doesn't even show up for his near death "party". But the irony is that he really did grow up to be just like his dad, the only difference is that unlike his father he was actually able to make a career out of what he did (and was at least a bit more socially conscious I'll give him that). Hell his behavior with his friends, particularly Princess Carolyn, mimics how his father treated his mother.

Personally, I always saw the last thing Beatrice said to Bojack while lucid was her attempting to comfort him, in her own messed up way. She was trying to tell him this honesty she believed would help him because she believed it about herself. Beatrice didn’t believe she had agency in her life, and I know from experience that that can be comforting when you’re drowning in a hopeless situation. Ironically, that was the nicest and most loving thing she ever said to him.

12:25 Something worth bringing is that in that same scene Bojack later tells her that she is eating ice cream, but she never have it (or at least that's implied, both by flashbacks and her reluctant face about the idea), yet she still goes through with what he says. She kinda connected with him in that moment

As someone who’s mother died I tried my best to find a “goodbye farewell” or even a “see you later” but nope nothing so I relate to bojack (I did have a dream but I think it was more my consciousness telling me everything’s gonna be fine or whatever)

This entire show took me places emotionally that I have never been to in my life. And I didn’t watch it until I was in my 30s. Now im hooked on these videos.

Please never stop making Bojack videos

Even if your analysis videos dig too deep…they give honest valid looks at various psychology. So even if it doesn’t service analyzing the show… it helps me dissect my own emotions!

This episode is what got me to watch Bojack, shortly after my own mother died. Specifically the scene about Becker, I saw that clip on RU-vid, and I related _heavily_ to those thoughts about never having that good relationship that I always wanted, but in a different way. My mom wasn't the same kind of bad as Beatrice. Hell, compared to Beatrice, my mom is Mother Theresa. But she had her bad moments, and her worse moments. Throughout being a teenager, I was even gaslit by my mom, her friends, and _my_ friends, into thinking she was a good mom despite her screaming and insulting and verbal aggression. Obviously I figured out that it wasn't true, and no one deserves that kind of treatment. I found that I hated my mom for years. But at 16, she started to get better, and we started to bond again. She started to become someone I loved and, gingerly, trusted again. She still had her horrible moments, but she was trying. Then, when I was 17, she got cancer, and died just a month after my 18th birthday. I was heartbroken, but I didn't really get why, because I still wasn't sure I even liked my mom; she still had her awful moments where she damaged me and my family. And this show got me to understand why. Now I'm 20, almost 21, and I feel a lot more in tune with my feelings about mom and my friends, old and new.

Dude you made me want to rewatch Bojack Horseman from the begining again. It is a really clever and insightful series.

Thinking about it, there is a chance that deep down, Beatrice wanted Bojack to constantly perform at these parties because she was the happiest when she herself was performing. I think that though she never expressed it, she truly wanted Bojack to be happier than she was.

Free Churro is the only episode of Bojack Horseman I actively watch on a regular basis. What an artistic masterclass of an episode in an already amazing show.

I remember watching this episode the first time, and it wasn’t till near the very end of the episode that I realized how long Bojack had been talking. I was just so enraptured by his feelings.

I literally watch this episode all the time because it helps to imagine myself giving a similar speech at my own abusive mother’s funeral

The Ipson running theme absolutely blows my MIND. The amount of detail, forethought and planning to drop a single line in the first episode of your show, which will become a indicator for a MASSIVE part of a different character two seasons later???

"The Free Churro" is another one of my all time favorite episodes! i always hoped you would one day review it Johnny!!!

Beatrice's story, personality and flaws always reminded me of my grandmother, so similar. The woman had four children and none could give the priest a good memory for his eulogy. What's even scarier though is reading all these comments from so many people who've had a Beatrice in their lives

One of my favourite details about this episode is that in the episode leading up to this, BoJack mentioned how nobody would watch a TV show if the show was just a character monologuing for the entire thing.

“That's all I have to say about my mother…No point beating a dead horse, right?” Thats clever

The first time I saw this episode, I was watching it on my phone with headphones on during a roadtrip with some people I didn't quite knew. And I felt so vulnerable, like I couldn't espace from the raw emotions. This episode is truly a masterpiece. Once again, from the bottom of my heart... Thank you Johnny.

After watching this I remember my brush with Heinrik Ibsen. Some 10 years ago, I came across an abandoned copy of Ibsen's plays (including A Doll's House) amongst the piles of junk in my grandfather's scrap yard. I don't know if Grandfather owns it personally or just came along with the junk since the city doesn't have any bookstore and none of them read in any capacity (not even newspapers, not popular here). The book was in a good but yellowed state and still readable when I saw it. I don't know if I took it and have it be part of my library or not but looking back the existence of that book is rather poetic and poignant. After knowing my grandmother's married life and mother's childhood, it matches Ibsen's play tit for tat, right down to her lack of agency in those 50 years she was married to him as everything in both their lives were under his total control. Now she's suffering from diabetes because Grandfather have been feeding her the wrong food for 2 years that nearly pushed her to borderline terminal stage had it not for the timely interventions of my mother who wasn't able to care for her earlier due to the pandemic forcing her to be separated from Grandmother. Grandfather is too stingy to even spend any money for her care despite being his wife. Looking back, the existence of that book in that place was a sign that marriage was built on unhappiness. Had any of my relatives in my mother's family read it earlier they would have seen the dismal states of their lives. Out of the two, Mother is the only one who somehow got a happy ending as she got away from my Father who was sadly neglectful of us (kind but neglectful) and she's taking care of Grandmother through her store. After hearing those stories and sadly seeing his abuse and neglect first hand my respect for my Grandfather dropped like a stone in the water. Even now, I hate to be reminded I am related to him...

One thing I particularly enjoy about this episode is that it still manages to be entertaining even though the majority of it is just BoJack ranting. I think it’s the character and writing behind it that really makes it enjoyable to me, but considering my low attention span, it’s impressive as hell.

It's interesting and an incredible testament to the quality of the show, because you can think "wow how did they write a whole episode as a monologue?" but because of the work they put into character development, you can think "wow, must have been hard to get this down to 22min."

Free Churro is my favorite. I go back to it every time I’m down just to hear him ramble his way to a slightly better mental place. Very relatable on a level I don’t think we’ll see for a very very long time.
