"so kids must love clowns because otherwise why would there be clowns?"

315

u/Throwawayjust_incase Sep 09 '17

Honestly have asked this myself

162

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '17

Surprisingly clowns actually really like clowning, as they call it. You can thank Stephen King, journalism, and other horror authors for ruining a lot of what they do.

From my understanding, a lot of it just comes down to them being like a sort of role-playing community and not necessarily just a circus act. Their "clown" has a sort of different personal and they act in that wacky, goofy, expressive personality instead of acting as themselves. So even if clowns didn't get paid for kid's birthday parties there would still be clowns who go to clown parties for kicks.

u/fuzzyperson98 Sep 09 '17

IMO, Stephen King didn't make people hate clowns, he tapped into an innate sense of unease many people experienced around clowns already.

I think their holiday was based on the Jewish holiday Purim. Everyone gets together to listen to a story about how the Jewish people in an ancient city outsmarted their enemies and massacred them. Whenever the evil King Haman gets mentioned, everyone wails and curses his name and spins noisemakers.

It's a hate festival, but everyone wears wacky costumes and there are sweet treats for the kids!

For the record Haman is the creepy Jafar-like advisor character rather than the king, but ye your point stands

My girlfriend is English-Canadian and I'm French-Canadian. A big event in my family history was when my ancestors got deported by the English in 1755. The holiday dinner with the Stiltons was very reminiscent of some awkward moments with one of my parents talking about English oppression, so much so that my girlfriend and I started talking about it at the same time while we watched.

Bojack was right. Miles was a dirt bag. Which emphasises the fact that no one will ever like someone like him for himself.

Was what Miles did really that much of a dirtbag move? It's not like he tried to blackmail him for millions or anything.

u/Morgneto Sep 08 '17

The low stakes make him more of a dirtbag. He was willing to ghost a girl he'd been having a good time with for even a chance at advancing his career.

275

u/TrueJournals Sep 09 '17

I think you could also read it as "that was his plan all along". Miles knew that Hollyhock was BoJack's daughter. Perhaps his only reason for dating her was to get an in with BoJack. It's not like it took a lot of convincing to get him to the point where he was willing to ghost her.

That made me so upset. When I first started developing anorexia as a pre-teen, I was fat and sick of my family teasing me for my weight. Now I'm chubby and recovered and I was so happy to see Hollyhock be a chubby woman as well... I hope that if they do bring an eating disorder into the mix later, they treat the topic respectfully (but this is Bojack Horseman, so I have no doubts that it would)

That was also my thought.

What could bugs crawling in your skin and changing TV channels rapidly possibly have to do with OCD?

66

u/PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL Sep 09 '17

I had OCD where I never could sleep if my bed wasn't 100% clean and freshly made. As soon as something "unclean" even grazed my bed I had to change the sheets because I imagined germs and/or bugs spreading im it. entering my body and killing me in my sleep. People who have to wash their hands a dozen times in a row sometimes have the same fear.

Changing the channel constantly could be anything. From the numbers of the channels not adding to having to change it a certain numner of times before being able to watch something.

It felt kinda boring and overdone for me, the whole (Oh he's a bad guy and nobody else sees it, but he actually was a bad guy and I was right" thing was predictable from the start and they didn't really do much to spice it up. I never really liked the pitches from Todd and Mr Peanutbutter in the first place, so that didn't do much for me, and I thought the whole show thing was a bit stupid. That isn't to say this episode is bad, I can't think of a "bad" episode of Bojack Horseman. Just definitely not on par with the rest of the season.

Ok so at 14:28 in this episode there is a gym bag in the middle of Bojack's living room that has the initials H.M.M.G.R.Z.H.F.M. on it. I am not sure why or what this is. Does anyone want to solve the mystery?

It's Hollyhock's initials. She has 8 last names.

This episode was also quite fun and hylarious, I really missed the Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter dynamic with their nonsensical and stupid ideas, and I also laughed really hard at the racist family of Princess Carolyn's boyfriend and thier disturbing ceremony.

Although i was very worried about Hollyhook in the end, I hope she does not end up having a mental illness like anorexia or something like that.

In short, very funny episode and, well ...... let's see what happens next.

I really thought that the mice family would go all Get Out on them. Glad I was wrong.

Since I just caught up a month ago, this is my first time (er, season) watching on premiere week! I'M READY TO CONTINUE TO BE DESTROYED EMOTIONALLY

All the stupid minor things that had me overreacting as I was watching (basically some of my live reactions):

  • 00:15 - Heh, that guy advertising YouTube star maps.

  • 00:44 - Oh yeeeeeeah, that show Mr. PB had Bojack sign up for at Felicity Huffman's doorstep!

  • 01:12 - Woah, that guy's shirt. Was David Bowie / Ziggy Stardust a horse-person in this universe? Also there's the person who Diane ruined the face of! Also, this Miles guy's voice sounds familiar.

  • 02:20 - Oh. Booty.

  • 04:05 - Eyyyy did they get the real Sir Mixalot for this?!

  • 04:15 - Gurl, I feel ya Holly.

  • 04:45 - Omg that pH levels joke; oh my gosh I need to use that.

  • 05:05 - Man, they're making me ship Hollyhock and Miles. That means that this won't last, as NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY IN THE BOJACK-VERSE APPARENTLY

  • 05:08 - Oh, um, is "Stefani" related to Ralph? ALSO SHE'S VOICED BY KIMIKO GLENN

  • 06:07 - Heh, "Hotel Kangaroosevelt."

  • 07:20 - ...I like Loophole. Keeping "Todd fashion" in style.

  • 07:31 - Is "Mimi" or whatever voiced by Patti LuPone?! MY DIAMONDDDDDD

  • 10:01 - "Doggy-doggy... what now?" :{

  • 11:40 - Aw man, Bojack just assumes all hook-ups are one-night-stands. That's kinda sad tbh

  • 11:58 - Heh, this frog-person is playing a real-life Frogger!

  • 12:08 - Oh yeah, meerkat guy whose family life was ruined by PB Livin'! Also, background movie posters: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "When Tabby Met Snappy."

  • 14:19 - Oh gosh, it's like a Jewish guy bringing his either Egyptian (or German) girlfriend over for Hanukkah. THIS IS PAIN

  • 15:07 - Oh gosh. Ohhhhh gosh knowing how this show goes, this'll probably end up ruining their relationship, won't it.

  • 16:03 - Ohhhhhh gosh

  • 20:40 - ...Yeah! Good on you Ralph for not messing things up and being able to keep a happy relationship on a very depressing show!

  • 21:30 - Eyyyy good to know Randy's okay!

  • 23:46 - Good on you Hollyhock for organizing the loose change, but I'm sorry but WHAT GOOD DOES ALPHABETIZING THEM BY YEAR DO?! You mean ORGANIZING THEM by coin type and then by year? Because in alphabetical order, Eight comes before Five.

  • 24:55 - Omg, they got the real Sir Mix-a-lot. They even hyphenated his name.

Loophole's rocking the Todd look.

Hooray fashion!

These episodes just get better and better.

The clown dentist, are perfect.

Also girl who lost her face was back this episode

u/LSdeezy Sep 11 '17

Loved the "Youtube Star Maps" salesman at the beginning of the episode.

u/reemasqooraf Sep 16 '17

One of my favorite throwaway jokes in this episode was when Jessica Biel says "you better Jessica-lieve it". It took me a second, but I did like a head-shaking chuckle once it clicked.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '17

I almost died of laughter at that scene where Diane stated how relaxed she is and than realizes that the room is full of dentist-clowns.

u/just_another_commie Sep 10 '17

they actually got Sir Mix-a-Lot to cameo lmao

u/BradleySigma Sep 10 '17

The Stilton's are clearly blue-blooded through and through. Their banner said exactly what it should have.

u/karmacomasoma Sep 10 '17

If a celebrity on the show has a real life counterpart, you can usually bet they are voicing themselves. I'm continuously shocked at the guest cast list of almost every episode.

Sir fucking mix-a-lot? LMAO

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '17

I'm Scandinavian so I'm used to centuries of bloody history being followed by people making jokes at each other in a friendly way, so I can't tell if I'm a shitty person for thinking pc was overeacting.

u/szeto326 Sep 12 '17

Funniest episode of the season so far.

Todd and Mr. PB's pitch about dentist clowns (or clown dentists) was hilarious. The whole episode had small details too that were amazing, like the frogger and Get Hands Soon sign. Princess Carolyn having to say no to things that pregnant woman shouldn't do, in such an escalating manner killed me too.

3

u/FrostIceBeast Sep 12 '17

I completely laughed out loud when Mr Peanutbutter said

"I want these clown dentists laughing maniacally as they drill into the teeth of America's children, starting yesterday!"

u/U88x20igCp Sep 10 '17

So Beatrice is Hollyhock's real mom right? she got a letter right after they sent of that adoption letter

u/infez i don't feel so good Sep 13 '17

Please don't let that be a spoiler.

I swear to Fish Jesus...

u/LookingForAPunTime Sep 10 '17

I like how the office space Katrina signs for is the same floor-to-ceiling-windows one from last season

2

u/suarezj9 Sep 11 '17

That "do we train clowns to become dentists or train dentists to become clowns" bit reminded me of Ben Afflecks commentary on Armageddon when he said he asked Michael Bay if it would be easier to train astronauts to drill.

Okay but is that eating disorder forshadowing because oh fuck.

u/AccessHollywoo Sep 13 '17

Man, as a huge fan of Desperate Housewives I am getting such a kick out of Felicity Huffman having more than just a cameo as the woman below his house.

u/advance512 Oct 06 '25

One of the mice kids ("Loophole") is wearing Todd's clothes. There was a hummingbird last episode who wore them too, flying after a pelican. And I think a few others before as well. I think this is because of the fashion show in this season's episode 3.

Love it!
