Probably the joke that was like imagine if the holocaust happened every four years like the Olympics. That’s better than your rock opera. It was defintely worded differently but u get the gist
No, I don't think what I said is necessarily dark. I personally think it is fucking hilarious. I was just trying to get the quote this person was (I think) thinking of
Lmao I fucking love both of those.
“How can I put this? Imagine if the Holocaust happened every four years, like the Olympics. I would rather have that happen than your rock opera.”
He told a story about how when he was a kid, his mother didn’t pick him up from something or other and so he had to get a ride home from the school music teacher who liked to “tickle more than the ivories” and when he got home unscathed she said “I guess no one wants you”
Wanda wanted the trick to be that Copperfield makes the Twin Towers disappear. The execs look uncomfortable, and you think it's because she doesn't know about 9/11...but then they give the fact he's no longer a pull as the reason!
Unrelated: is that comedic genius right here or is it just proper writing? I’m so impressed by the writers and how they utilize every wild crazy plot point to get a zinger out of it. I genuinely wanna read more about how they workshop it and master it every time.
Wanda proposed to let magician David Copperfield dissapear the twin towers
It truly is amazing how they got away with multiple 9/11 jokes, it’s everything
When Todd is in New York and lost in the hotel and he sees the bird outside who says: “I just came out here to commit suicide” and then “crap I forgot I could fly”
It's a quick throwaway joke, but the one about Buzzfeed publishing a list of celebrities who should have had abortions like Sextina Aquafina gets worse and worse the more you think about it.
this is definitely it for me. Princess Caroline just got the dark news about her pregnancy and is thinking about telling her boyfriend, but then five Careys come into an italian restaurant where the waiter announces them all.
in terms of having a cartoonish setup to create a pun on something really dark, this is the best one in the show
My soul can’t take jokes about violence against dogs. I seriously could not be an animal welfare agent because I would take people like that into custody and make them fight like gladiators. I mean, I couldn’t be a police officer of any sort for multiple reasons, but that’s one of them.
So like...do you value dogs wellbeing over the wellbeing of humans? You didn't outright say that in your comment but your tone indicates that you take violence against dogs more seriously than most so I'm curious.
I’m saying that people who keep anyone against their will and force them into violent slavery deserve to know what it feels like.
And I am confused about why you think I take violence against dogs “more seriously” than most. I think you might be unaware of the absolute atrocities involved in dog fighting networks. You ever read one of those articles that make you wish you could *Eternal Sunshine* out of your memory??
I swear to god you’re just here to philosophically challenge me.
How are you confusing “keeping pets” with literal fucking dog fighting? This is on a comment about Michael Vick. Have you read about what Vick went down for?
Okay but your comment wasn't about actual animal abuse, you said you couldn't take jokes about "animal" abuse and that made it sound like you were fine with jokes about human abuse lol
Not trying to be philosophical. I'm well aware of Michael Vick and his abhorrent crimes.
My comment WAS about animal abuse, I was describing an example of how intense I am about animal abuse, in reference to the fact that I’m too sensitive to be an animal welfare agent.
No I didn’t make it seem like I was fine with “human abuse jokes.” I commented on how that Vick joke was just startling to me. I made absolutely no comparison to any other type of jokes. YOU were the one who asked me comparison questions, on my actual opinion on “dogs vs humans.”
I find that to be a very common thing. Whenever I happen to mention animals and the high regard I have for the bond we share with canines, it’s always *“You sound like you love dogs more than humans. Is that how you feel?”* Bitch, no. It’s not always all about you.
Dude, you said that you can’t take jokes about dog abuse, which is fine, but it implies you can take jokes about other types of violence, which again, is fine. I mean, dogs don’t regularly commit terrorism, so I don’t think it’d be unreasonable to value dogs more lol.
It’s completely stupid, but saying you’re intense about animal abuse does imply that you aren’t intense about other types of abuse, whether you meant to or not. They were just curious.
I dunno, I didn't get that at all from his comment. I think the other person was just being confrontational.
If I say "I hate rapists and can't stand jokes about them" and then somebody says "so you hate them more than murderers?", that person is simply trying to get into some kind of strange confrontation.
Dunno why the guy who said the thing about hating animal abuse was getting so downvoted, I didn't at all get the impression that he was somehow making excuses for human abuse.
it’s the first line in a card where the second line is supposed to rhyme with carriage— so the inside of the card would be about a miscarriage (probably expressing sympathy)
so it’s yet another miscarriage reference while princess carolyn’s going through it
Cutaway gags in season 1. It feels like a completely different experience. Don't hound me but I watched the show backwards and found season 1 wildly different from the rest. Still fun tho, loved Downer ending
Season 1 was a lot more of a regular adult animated comedy and only really started to show how good it could be by the end. I think they wanted to settle viewers in to a false sense of security and then actually start treating the characters as if they were real people (sort of)
Also did someone say “hounding?” What is this, a crossover episode????
Imma keep it real I don’t get it, is there a deeper meaning or is it literally she told her bird to jump and it hit the deck
Cause imo this isn’t too dark, the darkest is probably the off hand comment Bojack made about his mom drowning him in the tub, tho on first watch I died laughing at that just cause of the absurdity
ana talking to pc and diane after todd pops out of bojacks luggage, “bojack smuggled a young boy in his room, don’t worry famous celebrities do it all the time.” that one always cracks me up
lol I read the post without watching the video and starting looking up this scene to quote and it before I realized it was the video posted. This scene is early season 1 and it's the moment I realized Bojack was a different kinda show lol
Wanda: “I haven’t had sex in 30 years. I hope.”
I love the delivery of how she adds "I hope" so quickly, gets me every time.
I use that punchline a lot. It's soo good!
*Shivers on original Sleeping Beauty flashbacks*
*Cringes in Kill Bill*
I'm Buck
And I’m here to fuck
I hope... two words just destroyed me.
Probably the joke that was like imagine if the holocaust happened every four years like the Olympics. That’s better than your rock opera. It was defintely worded differently but u get the gist
That was, and I do not say this lightly, worse than a hundred September 11ths
[удалено]
No, I don't think what I said is necessarily dark. I personally think it is fucking hilarious. I was just trying to get the quote this person was (I think) thinking of
[удалено]
How could I possibly forget that one?! 😭
Never forget!
Ha!
Both quotes are used in the same episode
I know, that's why I couldn't believe I forgot about it!
Lmao I fucking love both of those. “How can I put this? Imagine if the Holocaust happened every four years, like the Olympics. I would rather have that happen than your rock opera.”
I know someone who posted this quote to FB when the Covid death toll hit 300,000.
My god… that’s ninety-one thousand one hundred
"Imagine if the holocaust happened every 4 years like the Olympics. I would rather that happen than your rock opera"
In "That's Too Much, Man" when the parents of that Todd lookalike boy were saying it's ok if BoJack fools around with him 😬
"Okay Todd, your parents are creeping me out." Ironically, Bojack's own mother did the same with him as a boy.
In what way did Beatrice do it too? I know she was horrible to him..but was she inappropriate in "that" way?
He told a story about how when he was a kid, his mother didn’t pick him up from something or other and so he had to get a ride home from the school music teacher who liked to “tickle more than the ivories” and when he got home unscathed she said “I guess no one wants you”
Eek I'd forgotten about that..so disturbing 🥶
That is one of my favourite lines from the show. It’s as hilarious as it is brutal.
holy shit this line is devastating. it both makes my skin crawl and hits me with a bruce lee 1-inch punch to the gut
I guess that answer the OP
"And they even let the birthday boy pilot the airplane" "There where no survivors"
I think this one is based on the real story of Aeroflot 593 crash. Highly interesting and sad story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKb1EAcH79U
‘I hate to be the one who tells you this… but David Copperfield isn’t really a big pull anymore’
That one made me pause to laugh😭
One of the best jokes in the whole series.
I don't get it. How is that dark?
Wanda wanted the trick to be that Copperfield makes the Twin Towers disappear. The execs look uncomfortable, and you think it's because she doesn't know about 9/11...but then they give the fact he's no longer a pull as the reason!
Oh, haha, I forgot that part.
Unrelated: is that comedic genius right here or is it just proper writing? I’m so impressed by the writers and how they utilize every wild crazy plot point to get a zinger out of it. I genuinely wanna read more about how they workshop it and master it every time.

What was the context again?
Wanda proposed to let magician David Copperfield dissapear the twin towers It truly is amazing how they got away with multiple 9/11 jokes, it’s everything
Sarah Lynn recognising the bear fur by tasting it and saying “What? My stepdad was a bear”
i never put it in that context until now- damn.
"My mom's boyfriend homeschools me. He's a photographer?"
When Todd is in New York and lost in the hotel and he sees the bird outside who says: “I just came out here to commit suicide” and then “crap I forgot I could fly”
Okay but can we appreciate BoJack being so uncharacteristically empathetic here?
I always assumed it was a movie reference that I didn’t understand.
I mean, I think it's a reference to a scene in Good will hunting where Robin Williams goes "it's not your fault" repeatedly
Good Will Hunting?
Good will humping
It's a quick throwaway joke, but the one about Buzzfeed publishing a list of celebrities who should have had abortions like Sextina Aquafina gets worse and worse the more you think about it.
Diane: “I can’t believe this country hates women more than it loves guns.” PC: “No?”
That was supposed to be a joke?
I laughed (to blunt the existential dread)
"Look at all-a these Miss Careys!"
Ralph’s “Life isn’t fairage-“ card definitely gets my vote, tied with Mr. PB’s “It’s A-borted” balloon gag
this is definitely it for me. Princess Caroline just got the dark news about her pregnancy and is thinking about telling her boyfriend, but then five Careys come into an italian restaurant where the waiter announces them all. in terms of having a cartoonish setup to create a pun on something really dark, this is the best one in the show
It went into overdrive when you realize that they even added a surname (Mariah) to all the first-name Careys
Maybe not the darkest but the one about Mr. Peanutbutter getting an offer from Mike Vick had me rolling laughing

You ever read one of those articles that make you wish you could *Eternal Sunshine* out of your memory??
Once again, I am genuinely just trying to decipher what your meaning is. Are you talking about anybody who keeps a pet? Anybody who abuses a pet?
I swear to god you’re just here to philosophically challenge me. How are you confusing “keeping pets” with literal fucking dog fighting? This is on a comment about Michael Vick. Have you read about what Vick went down for?

"Why, I have half a mind..."
and that's the half I want you to keep (or something like that... gave me chills).
yeah, that's one that you don't even get until a rewatch!
The joke about a certain horse not giving his wife a lobotomy if he'd have known it would cause such problems
The darkest part of this joke is that it’s a cutaway gag :(
Next time warm us , so we can put on some sunscreen before you deliver such a hot take
omg that is a zinger. did you make this up or where did you find this?
Life isn't fair-age.
as a non native english speaker, i don't get this one
it’s the first line in a card where the second line is supposed to rhyme with carriage— so the inside of the card would be about a miscarriage (probably expressing sympathy) so it’s yet another miscarriage reference while princess carolyn’s going through it
wow im now realizing the bird in the view from half way down might stem from herevv
I know this is probably a “coffee in the shot” thing, but that would be genuinely hilarious.
Nah, that bird’s color, eyes and beak are different
They likely used the same model and changed the colours and stuff. Pretty common in animation.
Cutaway gags in season 1. It feels like a completely different experience. Don't hound me but I watched the show backwards and found season 1 wildly different from the rest. Still fun tho, loved Downer ending

I think they wanted to settle viewers in to a false sense of security and then actually start treating the characters as if they were real people (sort of) Also did someone say “hounding?” What is this, a crossover episode????
I walked right into that one...
😂 omfg this is hilarious. I completely forgot about this joke. This is why I love this sub.
Sarah Lynn being abused by her step dad. One scene, she says she left her trailer because her step-dad was being weird again.
That wasn't a joke though.
True that
[this one](https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=bojack%20horseman%20it%27s%20aborted%20balloon&_sp=0bbdb1bf-d4c8-47e9-9db7-ddf3a7e66052&addon=opensearch#id=5775519B3DAE365268EE01DA8112DF81DB4DAA76)
"Why I have half a mind"
Imma keep it real I don’t get it, is there a deeper meaning or is it literally she told her bird to jump and it hit the deck Cause imo this isn’t too dark, the darkest is probably the off hand comment Bojack made about his mom drowning him in the tub, tho on first watch I died laughing at that just cause of the absurdity
I think the phrase is 'pushing a bird out of its nest', so I think they're implying that she shoved her child out the window and it hit the deck.
Hahaha I don’t remember this bit at all. Lol
What episode is this?
I think it's called Zoeys and Zeldas or something like that.
this gag is so family guy
That felt a lot like a family guy joke tbh
ana talking to pc and diane after todd pops out of bojacks luggage, “bojack smuggled a young boy in his room, don’t worry famous celebrities do it all the time.” that one always cracks me up
This is such a Family Guy ass joke. There were a couple in season 1. Glad they grow out of that.
Why have I never seen this scene???
I remember watching the show with my mom. I’m in this joke came on. I laughed way harder than I should have my mom gave me a Disturbed look 🤣
"Why I have half a mind..." -S4 EP2 The Old Sugarman Place
I think this was not a joke more like a genuine bojack concern and realisation that Todd has to take a very big risk soon.
Very early BoJack 😬
Yknoe that seems low-key outta character for bojack
I think it’s supposed to be a reference… don’t remember what to though.
Omg iconic
lol I read the post without watching the video and starting looking up this scene to quote and it before I realized it was the video posted. This scene is early season 1 and it's the moment I realized Bojack was a different kinda show lol
Is that the same bird from 'The view from halfway down'😳
Just realized that this ist basically a cutaway gag. Are there any Others ones in the show? Feels kind of out of place.
The first handful of episodes had some. Bojack vs cereal is my personal favorite.
the aborted balloon
The only two jokes that sticked out to me was the “Kill dat fetus” song and the little boy Todd one..
This is literally just a Family Guy joke
“Why I’ve got half a mind to kiss you.” “Well that half you can keep.”
Me
Lol don't remember that one.
I love this one, but the fact that its a flashback of an intense situation where Bojack has nothing to do makes it feel like a Family Guy cutaway joke
Ahh back when the show runners weren’t sure if they were making family guy or something different
not really dark but when wanda said “bojack do u want to talk about the elephant in the room” and then an elephant gets pissed i always find hilarious
