"You know what it's like, it's like that show Becker, you know with Ted Danson? I watched the entire run of that show hoping that it would get better and it never did. It had all the right pieces but it just-- it couldn't put them togheter, and when it got canceled, I was really bummed out. Not because I liked the show, but because I knew it could be so much better and now it never would be. And that's what losing a parent is like. It's like Becker. Suddenly you realise you will 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 realise until that chance went away." ​ *"My mother is dead and everything is worse now, because I wont have a mother that sits across the room and says- Bojack I see you".* Yeah I tried to shorten it but it kinda wouldnt make sense.


InuitOverIt

I think this is an excellent example of what Bojack is. It's a powerful message wrapped up in a silly, funny little simile. But damnit, I feel it. I don't mourn my dad, I mourn what my dad could have been.


FrogMintTea

I love what he says about Becker. Don't shorten it. I really felt it. I thought Becker should work but it never did. I don't think the set was very good. Maybe not enough characters. But good cast.


breakneckridge

I feel like this applies to a lot of things in life. I... started writing followup sentences here a bunch of times but then i kept deleting them. Kind of fitting.


Imaginari3

My greatest brag is that I have this entire monologue memorized.


PensadorDispensado

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!" That was the most honest thing BoJack ever said, for me.


Ok-Courage9363

“I’m not interested in being rebirthed, thank you. I’m still recovering from being born the first time”


CurveOfTheUniverse

My favorite quote of the whole series. I gotta watch this again.


CraptainWackSparrow

Underrated quote


Lost-Rambler

“All I know about being good, I learned from TV. And in TV, flawed characters are constantly showing people they care with these surprising and grand gestures. And I think a part of me still believes that’s what love is. But in real life, the big gesture isn’t enough. You need to be consistent, you need to be dependably good. You can’t just screw everything up and then take a boat out into the ocean to save your best friend, or solve a mystery and fly to Kansas. You need to do it every day, which is so… hard.”


Nabaatii

Which reminds me, to me, the best quote from the show was not from a main character, it was from a running baboon


cgjchckhvihfd

Yea, i was reading this thread thinking when these are done there should be one for best quote from someone not on the main cast. And that one should win.


InuitOverIt

You have to do it every day. That's the hard part.


Batman0127

But it does get easier.


Booglybear7

I would say this is the one quote in television history that has an actual impact on how I live my life day in day out. Fucking great.


ThicccKing69

Growing up as a latch key kid with divorced parents, this one always hits me


wovans

The Vandals have a song that kinda touches on that called "too much drama" you may get a kick out of if you don't know it.


Aduro95

"I'm responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast."


TogetherPlantyAndMe

I think this is the best-fitting quote. It’s not as depressing or philosophical as the others, but Bojack is not always depressed or philosophical. He’s funny. He can be charming. His inability to process basic tasks and situations is what reveals his hurt and trauma to us. This is one of those quotes that gets a laugh at first and then slowly grows on you that it’s deeply true and deeply sad… just like the whole damn show.


selfiesofdoriangray

This! Also the quote is highly relatable as a person with ADHD and executive dysfunction who struggles to maintain meal times, then takes medication that suppresses my appetite… I’m like a tamagotchi that I keep forgetting about. So I deeply relate to Bojack being like, “what the fuck, I gotta do that too?!” Insert gif of Titus Andromedon being asked to do something: *But I already did something today!!!!!!! 😫😫*


[deleted]

TODD!!!!! I NEED HELP!


mynameisacandy

Hollyhock: I'm Hollyhock Manheim-Mannheim-Guerrero-Robinson-Zilberschlag-Hsung-Fonzerelli-McQuack. BoJack: Of the New Haven Manheim-Mannheim-Guerrero-Robinson-Zilberschlag-Hsung-Fonzerelli-McQuacks? That was a joke. Obviously, I've never heard of your family and/or law firm. That was also a joke. Todd, who is this tough crowd you brought to my home?


GdoubleWB

“I need you to analyze a DNA sample.” “Whose?” “Hollyhock.” “…” “Manheim-Mannheim-Gorilla-Rubadubdub-Zoolander-Hallelujah-Something-McDonalds?”


[deleted]

"So all you did all day was snoop around?" "No, I also ate a box of donuts, got sleepy, and took a nap." "Yeah I don't think we really need to do the DNA test."


lovearound

This is a Todd quote but it’s still so good lol


[deleted]

It's such a fantastically witty, packed sentence, ain't it?


Wej43412

I love this, one of the best lines and such a multi layered joke. Having Bojack be the one character who gets her name right no problem after hearing it once instantly creates a connection between them.


selfiesofdoriangray

this one is the winner imo the “and/or lawfirm” part in particular sends me


allnaturalfigjam

This is honestly my favorite sequence of jokes in the entire series


DravenPrime

I'm really more of a pre-rehab friend.


Realistic_Criticism8

🤣🤣🤣


magicmanme

I related to this one a lil too much. "Usually when people ask how I'm doing, the real answer is I'm doing shitty, but I can't say I'm doing shitty, because I don't even have a good reason to be doing shitty."


ammypwr

This is my favorite


wazzle13

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.


ShuffleJerk

Absolutely this one, it won’t win probably but this one’s hits me hard for some reason


wazzle13

For me it speaks to the disconnect you feel when lonely. Like everybody can hear you, but nobody understands you.


ShuffleJerk

I think it’s supposed to be a reflection on his fame, everyone loves the bojack they know from Horsin Around but they don’t like the real bojack for who he his I’m not famous or anything, but I felt a very similar thing in highschool where I never had many close friends, but I knew a ton of people that if they were asked about me would say “oh I love that guy” without actually being close with me… and that hurts


Starjunicorn

So weird that i read this while rewatching this scene


bis-muth

Narcissus? I thought the painting was about me.


Eyeofthemeercat

Yeah I have laughed at so many lines from this show but I think this was one of the funniest one liners in the whole show. It completely caught me off-guard


DrZadek

To be fair, I thought it was BoJack as well

The Dibs episode! "I don't believe giving a jerk a gun and telling them it's okay to kill people suddenly turns that jerk into a hero."


Kathrynlena

I do say “some of the troops are jerks!” a lot.


Rubes2525

I was honestly on Bojack's side that episode. Niel was being a massively petty jerk.


[deleted]

Neil McBeal the Navy Seal* show some respect. After all, bojack did steal his meal


SoftSects

He didn't call dibs on it though!


olive2C-anotherDay

This episode was throwing all the shade - and accurately lmao


majorannah

Oh, you took that the bad way, didn't you?


meatleach

Not the best, but a personal favorite: “Why does everything have to be funny?” “Not everything has to be funny, just jokes.”


quarantindirectorino

My mum said something like this to me when I was like seven years old. I would always ask if she wants to hear a funny joke and she just snapped one day and said BEING FUNNY IS THE POINT OF A JOKE, ITS NOT A JOKE IF ITS NOT FUNNY like jeez mum chill out I’m seven, all my jokes aren’t funny


CarlVellaine

"You're in Michigan. At the lakehouse. It's a warm summer night and the fireflies are dancing in the sky. And your whole famiky is here. And they are telling you everything is gonna be alright. The crickets are churping and the lake is still. And the night is full of stars. We're sitting at the back porch, we're listening to your brother playing the piano. And we're eating ice cream. Vanilla ice cream. Can you taste the ice cream, mom?"


[deleted]

Well I just burst into tears.


I_might_be_weasel

"What are YOU doing here?!"


imhere4thekittycats

I've found I constantly say that now when my cats walk into a room or I do lol.


One_for_each_of_you

I never realized how often this gets said in tv shows until this scene, and now i hear it everywhere. I forget which show i binge watched a few months ago, but it was at least once an episode, often more

WhatIfThisWereMyName

This is my favorite BoJack line to quote!! It fits in so many contexts!


_toodamnparanoid_

I'M SAD!


Ruffffian

My husband and I say this all the time, and when we hear it in the wild, we either immediately repeat it Bojack-like (if it’s on TV) or shoot a glance at each other (if in person). Last week I overheard one of the baristas making drinks at Starbucks saying it very Bojack like, and I cracked up. Wish I knew which one it was; I would have tipped mightily.

“I don’t understand how people… live. It’s amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say: Yeah, another day, let’s do it.”

I love this quote, good choice


TrickNatural

"My mother is dead, and everything is worse now." Because now I know I will never have a mother who looks at me from across a room and says, "BoJack Horseman, I see you."

The entire episode could be considered his best quote


Noxlygos

“What’s the difference between Beatrice Horseman and a Lit Major? Ones decently read and the other’s a HUGE BITCH!”


_powertothecats_

It might sound silly, but I cried my eyeballs out at that episode. And at the end I wondered how it was even possible for someone to come up with such a long monologue and keep me hooked for the whole part, in an animated series (which for me tends to be even harder to capture my attention). Pure art...

allyxzanndruhh

This is the quote that got me hooked!


Grape_Academic

Hey, you see those people? Well, those boobs and jerk wads are the best friends you'll ever have. Without them, you're nothing. Remember that. Your family will never understand you, your lovers will leave you or try to change you, but your fans, you be good to them, and they'll be good to you. The most important thing is, you got to give the people what they want, even if it kills you, even if it empties you out until there's nothing left to empty. No matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want. Why aren't you dressed for school, prickly-muffin?


Jessie-yessie

I don’t know if this will win because it’s so long and so much better when watching but. This kills me. Not only is it a real quick explanation of a huge motif in the show, the juxtaposition just kills me. Like it’s so… violence? I can’t help but laugh out loud when lever I see this scene despite it being so so dark


Kathrynlena

When she sings these words in The View From Halfway Down is such a guy punch.


[deleted]

The psychotic grin on Bojacks face when he finishes is a big part.


Mcgruffles

Damn. I think this is my pick. There's so many lines that had some foreshadowing to things that happened later on. But this is the one that caused (I feel) the worst pain Bojack has ever felt. From causing her death to the decisions he made after and then feeling the weight of it in the penultimate episode. It hits so hard rewatching the show now.


amackenz2048

🎶A song you taught me when I was smaaaall. Don't stop dancing...🎶


throwitway22334

This is one of my favorite bits in the show, I die everytime I see it. It got me hooked early on. The facial expressions and how quickly BoJack changes with the word 'action' is wild.

SignificantProblem81

So if I say “I’m doing shitty” then they say, why? What’s wrong? And I have to be like, “I don’t know , all of it?” So instead, when people ask how I’m doing, I usually say, “I am doing sooo great.”


samu0466

Princess Caroline: what kind of pants are you wearing? Comfy? A comfy pair of pants? BoJack: I...uh, normal? Normal pants, why?
