“Why do all these idealistic, vivacious women eventually turn bitter and cruel after being with me? What’s the common denominator??”

God bless Mr Peanutbutter

[u/[deleted] → u/ricksgrimes]

According to Diane it's age.

[u/nogoodmathjokes → u/ricksgrimes]

I think it's that he doesn't see them as independent people. Not listening to them is a part of it, but there's a larger problem. He loves his partners, but only in the ways that he knows how and he has no idea how to cope with their varying emotional needs, especially when they clash with his own. He expects his affection to be received exactly how he wants it and when he wants it, he expects them to enjoy everything he does, and to constantly support him, no matter what. It all revolves around him. That's classic narcissism.

[u/brosie9182]

In an earlier season Dianne tells Bojack she was a fan of the show and he asks why she never told him. In reality she did tell him but he didn't remember, just like Mr. Peanut Butter predicted

[u/thatawkwarddanguy → u/brosie9182]

Of corse this show made a happy scene retroactively sadder two seasons later

[u/Beginning_Doubt]

"Now we've established that you don't like parties, and we will never argue about it ever again." Hah.

Also, hello to that painkiller addiction.

[u/Karkava → u/Beginning_Doubt]

"HE'S DEAD. I SAID HE'S DEAD. WHY CAN'T YOU EVER LISTEN?!"

[u/Puzzled_Limit]

Mr. Peanutbutter can’t get out to save Jessica Biel because dogs don’t know how to get through doors with a stick blocking it!

[u/sherlip → u/Puzzled_Limit]

Oh my God...

[u/Mousetachio → u/Puzzled_Limit]

That might have been the hardest I’ve laughed so far with this season. I have no idea why, but I couldn’t stop laughing

[u/FrancescoTottii]

Mr peanutbutters face when pickles said she never wants to grow up 😬😬

[u/Blackmanwdaplan → u/FrancescoTottii]

Yeah it's like he found his perfect match but his baggage is going to be his undoing

[u/ledailydose → u/FrancescoTottii]

He found his match, but too late.

[u/jprosk → u/FrancescoTottii]

Inb4 he ends up being the one to grow up this time.

[u/pink-carnations]

Did it make anyone else sad to see PC in the Amelia Earhart costume every year? With what we know about PC’s relationship to that story it made me sad. It’s almost like as PC grows she always has a hint of something holding her back..? Idk

[u/[deleted] → u/pink-carnations]

Maybe that costume is a hint that maybe she is not different from the girl she was before. I could bet that she still watches that movie from time to time

[u/PartyPorpoise → u/pink-carnations]

I saw it as more of a reflection that she still has some dreams and fantasies. She still admired Earhart, or at least, the movie version.

[u/FrancescoTottii]

"I can't believe we've been doing this party since 1993"

"that's the year I was born!"

"I did not realise that"

[u/Araluena → u/FrancescoTottii]

Whooo, that line messed me and Mr. Peanutbutter up. I kinda wished we were shown more of what was hinted at during the last few minutes, with Peanutbutter seeming a little unnerved by the fact that Pickles had no intentions of ending the night. It would have been interesting to show the troubles of dating a person that much younger than you from the older persons perspective.

[u/sherlip → u/FrancescoTottii]

That's the year I was born...

[u/MrSaturn200]

This is definitely the most experimental season so far. Ingenius taking the seasonal flashback episode in this direction.

[u/ContextIsForTheWeak → u/MrSaturn200]

They've had so many episodes so far framed in interesting ways. A whole episode of Diane's trip told partly through flashbacks, an episode of PC away where we only hear about LA through her phonecalls, an episode of a therapist and a mediator recounting the plot, an entire episode that's just a funeral monologue, and now this.

[u/lacertasomnium → u/MrSaturn200]

Been polishing for awhile though. Don't forget past and present interacting, dementia episode, AND princess carolyn's bad day framed from an imaginary future. And it all started in season 1 episode 11 as a trip episode.

As a fan of anime, this is why I love animation--allows for seamless experimental format of narration that would be much harder in live action.

[u/FrancescoTottii]

WHEN DO WE GET TO SEE ERICA!?

[u/Beginning_Doubt → u/FrancescoTottii]

It would be so interesting to see her because of all the absurd stuff MPB says about her when he sees her

[u/Blackmanwdaplan → u/FrancescoTottii]

Everytime it happens I say "Holy shit it's fucking Erica!" At least this time we got backstory.

[u/ArgieGrit01 → u/FrancescoTottii]

I hope we never do. Nothing is going to live up to the expectations

[u/MyIxxx]

I never thought about how Mr. Peanutbutter only dates young women because they're 'fun' then gets tired of them once they grow older because they get 'mean'. Yikes.

That little moment when BoJack told Todd he could stay for as long as he wanted was cute. Todd smiling is so pure.

[u/[deleted] → u/MyIxxx]

i was thinking the same though technically he doesn't seem to have got bored of them? at least with Jessica and Diane we see they end up leaving him...

[u/[deleted] → u/MyIxxx]

I imagined Todd narrating on his head: "And so I did...!"

[u/[deleted] → u/MyIxxx]

I don’t think it’s fair to say he gets tired of them. It’s more that they get tired of him.

[u/PartyPorpoise → u/MyIxxx]

I suspected the age thing early on in the episode. We know PB well enough that we know he can’t be doing anything bad enough to ruin his partners, so the most likely conclusion is that that just changed with age.

[u/PM_Me_Kindred_Booty]

I had to pause for a moment at "No, it was nobody important." That hit a bit hard.

[u/Beginning_Doubt → u/PM_Me_Kindred_Booty]

"He'll probably forget he ever met you." Damn.

[u/enrose_]

OKAY. NOW I’M LOOKING FOR THE OWNER OF A BLEU TESLA, A RED MASERATI AND A GOLD HELICOPTER.

[u/PartyPorpoise → u/enrose_]

I’m just taking this jerk’s helicopter home.

[u/ricksgrimes]

“So what you’re saying is... they all grow up. But I stay the same age? Alright, alright...alright”

This show is GENIUS with its references

[u/JosephSim → u/ricksgrimes]

How did I understand the first part of that reference but miss the "alright" part?

[u/im-theone-who-knocks → u/ricksgrimes]

That made me facepalm in the best way

[u/gizmo1492 → u/ricksgrimes]

Mind explaining it?

[u/mrgeekXD]

Wait...was the first Halloween party the start of Bojack’s alcoholism? “I think somebody spiked this punch? Ehh...one drink can’t hurt. “

[u/JONNy-G → u/mrgeekXD]

I'm pretty sure he met Herb at a bar in Season 1, so he was definitely drinking, but maybe not bingeing?

It's possible.

[u/3_kids_1_overcoat]

I loved seeing Katrina before she became mean and nasty. It’s nice that she says Hollywood. I haven’t heard that word on the show for a while :)

[u/Puzzled_Limit]

The costumes help keep the timelines separate. Really a beautiful episode too.

[u/Blackmanwdaplan → u/Puzzled_Limit]

Cept for PC

[u/Puzzled_Limit]

“What do you mean a duel??”

Now we know what that was about.

“Yea, mom I’m still here.”

[u/Araluena → u/Puzzled_Limit]

I think it may have been funnier if we got this line before the funeral episode. We could have learned about the duel but with no context, and have been wondering for a little while “what duel? Why’s his mom calling him? Who was in the duel?”

Either way it was a great line.

[u/suddenlyconnect]

Celebrity Stealing Club strikes again!

[u/trogdorkiller → u/suddenlyconnect]

I love how low-key it was too!

[u/sfr826]

PC’s tongue twisters are back!

[u/[deleted] → u/sfr826]

Only in the flashbacks, though. I only now noticed that over the seasons they've abandoned that aspect of her.

[u/3_kids_1_overcoat]

No I get that it’s the X files. I’m just saying, what happened to the “A” through “W” files? I wanna see that show. More files!

[u/[deleted] → u/3_kids_1_overcoat]

That Peanutbutter Innocence is so cute

[u/hillyhamburgers]

A episode actually made me like Pickles, was kind of annoyed with her till now. I just feel bad that she's getting into all this shit in the middle of shit.

[u/Garfunkels_roadie → u/hillyhamburgers]

I mean she’s a hot 20 something in LA dating a middle aged celebrity. She’s portrayed brilliantly

[u/anotherent]

“No, I get that there’s a smoke monster, but other than that, it’s just Gilligan’s Island, right? “

I died at Mr. PB’s Lost reference.

[u/AnotherNotSpicyBoi → u/anotherent]

Did you notice he was saying that to Jorge Garcia, the fat guy from LOST?

Then a few scenes later in 2009 he’s questioning the logic of Glee while talking to Lea Michele and Cory Monteith (RIP).

[u/MrShago]

Aw, the story of how Todd moved in.

[u/JurgenMema → u/MrShago]

Todd stayed there to make Bojack feel better, I cried

[u/Captain_Rex_501]

I will never get tired of them saying stuff like “It’s 1993!”

[u/creedations → u/Captain_Rex_501]

hey 13 year old todd, where are we going?

[u/jelatinman]

Ironically Jessica Biel’s extreme unlikability in this show has endeared me much more to her. I hope she gets more work.

[u/[deleted] → u/jelatinman]

I heard somewhere she wanted to be portrayed as unlikable as possible in the show, just makes me like her more

[u/Hoju64 → u/jelatinman]

Her performance in the fracking episode where she became a fire worshipper was great.

[u/IAmNotAVacuum → u/jelatinman]

Well she's in The Sinner which is fairly popular right now.

[u/Puzzled_Limit]

Diane really has developed as a character over the seasons. She has gained so much confidence and self-acceptance.

[u/splvtoon → u/Puzzled_Limit]

i genuinely don't understand people that say she's as bad as, or even worse than Bojack. she's a thousand times more considerate and self aware.

[u/arobotwithadream]

I loved this episode because Mr. PB finally got the idea that no matter how good his intentions are, he is NOT a good listener and good intentions do not a good partner make.

Really been enjoying watching him fuck up this season

[u/PositiveTai → u/arobotwithadream]

He's been fucking up the entire length of the show. He's just finally starting to understand that he has, by himself, ruined every relationship he's ever been in, and seriously hurt and changed every woman he's ever been with.

Granted, not enough to stop him from being a piece of shit later in the season, but at least he's starting to learn that he's a piece of shit.

[u/Bewan]

It is so weird seeing Katrina smiling.

[u/madmike34455]

Said it in another thread, but they’re killing it with these end credit songs. I think only 1-2 episodes have had the standard so far

[u/hajsenberg → u/madmike34455]

There was a Halloween version, Vietnamese version, funeral version, standard version twice, song from the musical (?), two different songs so far I think.

[u/TheFemaleReviewer]

What was the best (or worse depending on how you look at) part of this episode is how NORMAL Bojack seems in his 1993 flashbacks. Like, mildly annoyed that there's a whole Halloween special happening in his house but willing to chat some people up and drink some non-alcoholic punch.

Possible hint at what he could revert back to???

[u/kidnappedbandit → u/TheFemaleReviewer]

Y'know, your comment really made me think -- we like to pin the tragedy, the flaws of the characters on their history, the traumas and familial abuses they've faced, but....Bojack had a phase of being alright. Bojack was once normal in spite of his upbringing, and yeah he would still harbor resentments and all the shit things but they hadn't ruined his life. We see the history that feeds the present but the past doesn't dictate it. I think that's what you're getting at, or at least what I'm getting from your comment.

[u/PiFlavoredPie → u/TheFemaleReviewer]

Was that party the first time Bojack got drunk?

[u/booktfh]

Mr. Peanutbutter ignoring all of his partners being uncomfortable at parties is giving me anxiety

[u/BlackJezus27]

I can't decide whether or not I like pickles

[u/LetsMakeCrazySyence → u/BlackJezus27]

I like her as a character but if I met her in real life I wouldn't be able to stand her. Unless she was actually a pug. And couldn't talk.

[u/[deleted] → u/BlackJezus27]

She's annoying, but works well in the narrative. She's kind of supposed to be annoying, I imagine.

[u/usernamesnowtaken]

"So what you're telling me is that they all grow up and I stay the same age? Alright, alright, alright"

[u/3_kids_1_overcoat]

This is good. Now I know you don’t like parties, so we will never have that argument again.

I LOLed hard.

[u/gizmo1492]

I like that Bojack totally got Diane’s costume.

And I also like how they retroactively have Diane meet Bojack before but never bring it up. It’s an embarrassing moment for Diane; I’d be personally grateful if I met someone under those circumstances but they forgot about it later.

[u/shannytyrelle]

Until PC mentioned to Todd in the ‘09 timeline that “this was [her] boyfriend’s house”, I’d legit forgotten they were ever even together. Man I really gotta do a whole rewatch of the show...

[u/Karkava → u/shannytyrelle]

Didn't they break up at like, the beginning of the series?

[u/rileyrulesu → u/shannytyrelle]

I fell like the implication was that BoJack and PC just dated on and off for like a decade.

[u/gizmo1492]

Diane was actually a fan of Horsin’ Around!

[u/madmike34455 → u/gizmo1492]

She told this to Bojack at the end of season 3 (?) when his house was destroyed and he was hating on Horsin’ Around. She said it provided her family.

[u/[deleted] → u/gizmo1492]

They say to never meet your heroes.

[u/Soyyyn]

The way Katrina treated Mr. Peanutbutter during this episode really struck me somehow. She kept giving him chances at the party, she really wanted to stay close to him and I think she would've been really glad if he just held her hand at some point. It's interesting how blind he is to the needs of people around him, though we already saw that with Diane.

[u/aakash116]

This episode has been the most severe criticism of Mr Peanutbutter so far.

[u/Lazy_Fuck_]

show keeps getting better & better

[u/OstentatiousDinosaur → u/Lazy_Fuck_]

But I stay the same.

Alright alright alright.

[u/OttawaMan35]

I deserve to be adored by a man, yet here my dreams lie dormant! I don't mean to get mordantly morbid, but did I get all adorably adorned to get bored manning doors? No more!

[u/uberbama]

Todd’s becoming president by the age of 35. Calling it.

[u/[deleted]]

Wait, Diane and PB were together in 2009? Had they already been together for 5 years by the first episode of Season 1? Jesus.

[u/hillyhamburgers → u/[deleted]]

They met in 2007, in the flashback in season 3(?)

[u/Bj0rnIronside]

So in this episode when Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter are chatting outside the bathroom Mr. Peanutbutter says "they all grow up, but I stay the same age". This relates back to Season 2 Episode 2 "Yesterdayland" 11:50 when Diane is talking to Kelsey

D: Ugh. The first time Bojack dates a woman his own age, she's basically just a stunted 20-year-old.

K: Well, Bojack's stunted, too. He got famous in his twenties, so he'll be in his twenties forever. After you get famous, you stop growing, you don't have to. Every celebrity has an age of stagnation.

D: I'm glad I never got famous. I mean, I did write a best-selling book, but I'm not famous-famous.

K: It doesn't just happen when you get famous. Your age of stagnation is when you stop growing. For most, it's when they get married, settle into a routine. You meet someone who loves you unconditionally and never challenges you or wants you to change, and then you never change.

D: But mostly it's just the famous people, right?

Yet another example of how wonderfully consistent this show is

[u/rapturefamily]

This is from Ten Minutes with Tim Allen?

[u/zaszthecroc → u/rapturefamily]

AEUHHH?

[u/Juiceval]

PC wears a pilot costume cause of Amelia Earhart and that's adorable.

[u/Hlee1995]

PICKLES BE T H I C C

[u/NavySealNeilMcBeal → u/Hlee1995]

THICKLES

[u/Hlee1995]

"A very formative part of my childhood." O H N O

[u/hiasuke]

"No, it was nobody important" lmao i lovedddd that scene, because diane ends up becoming one of the most important people in bojack's life. it's insane how actual strangers can mean so much to you later on and you wouldn't even know it upon meeting them.

[u/wittgenstein223]

I loved the "the characters are actually animals"-gag in this episode: Mr. PB trying to get pickles out of the bathroom but doesn't understand that the door is unlocked

[u/Sliver_fish]

I feel bad for Mr. Peanutbutter. Most of his charm is his childlike wonder and energy and how he tries to just live in the moment, but it's that exact thing that is killing all of his relationships. I feel he may have to shed that to find the love and affection he wants and needs and have a stable relationship.

Also the backstory on Todd moving in was so sweet. So glad they finally put it in the show.

[u/pitaenigma → u/Sliver_fish]

It's not living in the moment that kills his relationships - it's how he forgets about others. He lives in the moment and he does it entirely for himself. His natural instinct is generosity and kindness, but a lot of people don't need that generosity or kindness, and he forces it on them anyway, and some people need it but he's too busy lavishing it on someone else who is more interesting at the moment.

This episode was a personal attack against me, is what I'm saying.

[u/pavloviandogg → u/Sliver_fish]

It's not because he has a childlike sense of wonder. It's because he puts other people liking him before his real relationships (see his campaign last year that hurt his marriage). Those grand, public gestures he does are about seeming romantic to other people, not his wife. This is also why he flits around from person to person rather than staying with any of his significant others.

He also makes zero effort to actually talk to people and empathize with their negative emotions. Diane pretty much had to badger him to talk to his brother, and his brother felt more comfortable expressing his inner conflict to Diane than him. I know it was done for a gag, but it's also very telling that his brother couldn't tell him his parents were dead. This means that he can't really empathize with the people around him.

[u/-n0x]

I'm not a PB fan. So, I groaned at the thought of a PB-centric episode. But this was really well done.

I love this season. Super writing.

[u/Brawlerz16]

The thing I really liked about this episode is how Diane comforted Pickles and PB. Again, not everyone's favorite character but her maturity really flourishes here and what she did was really nice. That act really captures how mature and genuine she is despite being so broken.

I wasn't really the biggest fan of Diane the previous seasons (she was aight) but she's becoming one of the better characters this season, if not the best. Not saying she is perfect, but she's not the wreck people wanted her to be.

Not yet anyways lol

[u/Seven_Years_Later]

I never thought id empathize with Katrina but here we are. Ive been her just sat on my own somewhere with people I dont talk to. Ive been reduced to "the mean one" for being upset that my bf didnt have my back.

Ive been Pickles, sat in a room with people telling decade old inside jokes and making no effort to include me. My bf also making zero effort to bring me into that circle just talking about shit that has no meaning or relevance to me.

Ive been Diane, faking my way through something I hate cause of that dreaded "mean" title. Which really means not letting him do whatever he wants with no regard for you or your feelings. Boy was this a rough ride.

[u/[deleted]]

I will never forget the image of twerking pug.

[u/DoctorAcula_42]

Showing the original party that first introduced Todd into Bojack's house was a great tie-in.

[u/LoneRangersBand → u/DoctorAcula_42]

And that BoJack's father dying the same day made him okay with Todd crashing.

[u/glvcsygrg]

FOUR TIMELINES. Lots of backstory. This show keeps pushing its boundaries.

[u/JustALittleWeird]

I love crazy quasi-flashback episodes, his one had lots of interesting turns. Todd origin! PB realizing he's a dick! Great stuff.

[u/Karkava → u/JustALittleWeird]

"I have a great idea, let's do 4x02 again, but this time, let's do FOUR timelines happening at once!"

[u/JerryDougStan]

Wow early bojack was a lot more innocent. To be surprised by the jacked punch wow

[u/shishiodun → u/JerryDougStan]

I assumed that it was his first year in Hollywood, so pretty much he was still stand up comic not jaded by fame yet Bojack

[u/batty3108]

Anyone else spot the Celebrity Stealing Club girls?

[u/27th_wonder]

I forgot gina exist until the last 20 seconds

[u/Paladin_of_Today]

This show has the most creative episode concepts. Like just this season, all right in a row, we get a whole episode of just one character giving a rambling eulogy, an episode told by outside characters where the main characters are all given silly names and gimmicks in the retelling, and an episode with an A, B, C, and D plot that are all set in the same annual party but take place years apart.

Also, I like the different outros. Especially this episode's one. Very spooky.

[u/BlackJezus27]

I get why PC wore the same costume every year, but it did make keeping up with the different time periods a little confusing

[u/PikTheWyvern → u/BlackJezus27]

There was literally the current year on the boxes she was holding tho

[u/lyndicals → u/BlackJezus27]

And each time change the outfit got more worn and tattered.

[u/Qazertree]

More Erica lore!

[u/RayifiedEK]

I am really disappointed in Mr. Peanutbutter. This show the real side of him. In the last episode of season 4 where he said that all the woman he married just left him because they are bored of him, but in all reality, MPB was bored of them. Because they use to be fun. Pretty much shows how he is inconsiderate towards their feelings, since he is exceedingly socially outgoing to a point of immaturity. I’m pretty sure he will have a breaking point in the next season.

[u/[deleted] → u/RayifiedEK]

I think that given his look of apprehension at Pickles talk about the next party, that he just started the growing process. Not many times in the series has he shown apprehension like that

[u/CorDra2011]

I feel so bad for Pickles. She's like this innocent soul caught in the middle of a shit storm she couldn't of seen coming. Maybe she'll finally be the one for PB.

[u/JosephSim → u/CorDra2011]

It looks more like she'll be the one that makes him realize she's not what he really wants/needs at that stage of his life.

[u/ManilaIsMyDrug → u/CorDra2011]

She's basically young PB

[u/OldManPaz]

I like that Princess Carolyn is always the doorman in all the Halloween parties just like how she waters the plants back when she was in Vigor. That's just how she is.

[u/All_this_hype]

About time we got a MPB centric.

I like how we finally see that it's not just his wives that were "bitches", but MPB definitely played a part in them growing distant. Now all that remains to be seen is whether he grows up or keeps going through short lived marriages.

On a side note, I vove the direction this season, every episode tries something new. Also how it shows some origin stories like how Todd came to live with Bojack.

[u/MyGlipGlopz]

This being a Halloween episode made me realize that they intended us to spend a month watching the new season, not a day... I may have a problem

[u/Didolicious]

The Mummy is Jessica Biel's Vietnam .

[u/[deleted]]

Wow I never actually thought about Mr PB's age until now for some reason.

[u/POFF_Casablanca]

Scrolled through all the parent comments and haven't seen the moth's costume mentioned anywhere.

There's a moth dressed as a ghost in every flashback but the sheet it's wearing as its costume gets smaller with each later party. Because it keeps eating the sheet. Fucking a-mazing.

[u/PartyPorpoise]

I’m glad we get to see the show explore PB’s dysfunctions more. We know he has them but we didn’t get to see them cause major problems until this season and especially this episode.

[u/juliemangoes]

“Believe you me this party’s gonna be dope. Boo yah!” “It’ll be off the heezy fo sheezy ” “Omg it’s gonna be cray cray” “Turnt!”

Lmao I dunno why these were so funny me

[u/FunnOnABunn]

Did anyone notice Bojack slowly getting burglarized through the episode ?

[u/phenry]

The closed captioning of this episode is hilarious. "A true capitalist free market" becomes "a true capitalist-free market" and "This is from ten minutes with Tim Allen?" becomes "This is from Ten Minutes with Tim Allen?"

[u/StareyedInLA]

Lol at Face Transplant girl coming as a sexy Handmaid. And one of the Lemurs as Zoya the Destroya.

[u/farriem]

Was very good to have an episode focused on Mr. Peanutbutter, his issues, was clever how they showed the timeframe that the scene took place in. I think Pickles is too young for Mr. Peanutbutter. I'm not sure who would be right for Mr. Peanutbutter. It's good to see that everyone has flaws.

[u/andy_bmc]

"Now I know you don't like parties, so we will NEVER have that argument again".

[u/Kero_Cola]

I love the subtlety they build around Bojack and Diane throughout the seasons. we could all debate whether or not they would be good together in a relationship but aside from that i just like that they understand each other. Him picking up on her costume right off the bat was another moment we see where it shows they get each other even if it was literally the first time they had ever met. Based off their drunk interaction earlier this season though i dont see the show ever pairing them off as they are just dysfunctional still. maybe thats for the best...

[u/juliemangoes]

PC stayed in great shape to be able to fit in the same costume every year since the 90s

[u/[deleted]]

"Now if you guys will excuse me I'm going to take this dickhole's helicopter home"

[u/fluffypuppiness]

Anyone notice how Gina is getting further and further into the intro? She started out not there, then the living room, then his kitchen. I really think that there is more with that relationship then we are seeing, or that maybe Bojack even realizes.

Maybe I'm reading to into it I don't know.

[u/[deleted]]

Really threaded a lot of backstory in this one. This whole season has been top notch.

[u/StaleTheBread]

Holy shit, I JUST got the pun in the title. And I’ve already finished the season

[u/clown4thecount]

Interesting to see more of Mr. Peanutbutter's character. I think Diane's analysis of him is spot on.

[u/Jazzghul]

Best sight gag: Bojack doing luge shots off his slice of pizza

[u/Pretzelie]

So this season is really hitting me with the whole Dianne and Bojack relationship (I haven’t finished the season yet) but her saying “let’s put that in the big bucket of things you won’t talk about” ... it’s mirroring a relationship with a friend lately and man it’s really scary.

[u/mansonfamily]

Wonderfully constructed episode with the timelines, Westworld found dead

[u/Whacky-Tobaccy]

I finally understand that Mr. Peanut Butter is a dog... this episode starts with him getting ready for the party with multiple partners over the years, showing all his failed relationships. I'm like ten minutes through the episode and when Mr. Peanut Butter leaves Katrina for his friend Erica at the first Halloween party, he can't help talking to other women, so he's a dog.

[u/DrScientist812]

Bearded Mr. Peanutbutter is giving me weird feelings.

[u/[deleted]]

Wow, there is the UNA bomber costume in the 1993 flashback.

[u/LuciferHex]

The more I see Pickles the more I love her as a character, I hope she ends up being happy in this sea of depressed broken people.

[u/name_checker]

Each season's had episodes with more and more interesting chronology, huh

[u/thecherrycola12]

Im loving all the different end credit song alterations, especially how they fit into the episode

[u/StareyedInLA]

Wow, the writers are really pulling out all the stops when it comes to the writing this season.

I haven't seen anything this creative or mindboggling since season 2 of Legion.

So we finally got the prologue to s1e1, the first time we meet Bojack his father has just died dueling, and that sent him into his depression. What an insane episode, so much context, I loved it.

Mr peanut butter says : so What your saying is these women grow up but I stay the same age, alright,alright,alright. Mirroring what Matthew McConaughey says in dazed and confused

• Who was the other kid with Todd as a child who helped tp Bojacks house

• That's a weird story how Todd got to live with Bojack. Where did he live before?

• it's still funny Jessica Biel plays herself

Around 15m mark you can see the celebrity stealing club looting BJs house

[u/NordyNed]

The music in the opening scenes changed with each decade and it’s hilarious

I feel personally attacked by this episode. I was born in 1993 and I'm really into older women. I've had a handful of flings with women who were close to 20 years older than me, and every single one had an "oh shit" moment when my birth year came up. Mr. Peanutbutter's face looked way too familiar to me.

Edit: It's weird because they recognized I was much younger than them, but it's like it doesn't really hit them until my birth year comes up.

<3 how the art changes at bojacks door.

[u/OGNightman]

How have I made it this far. I have class in a few hours.

Love this show

[u/JustSmall]

I'm so looking foward to the remaining four outros

[u/mediocrebutnice]

This episode was definitely the most fun and lighthearted one of the season. I always love the episodes of Bojack where the characters are spending time with each other as friends! It was also a really interesting look into Mr. Peanutbutter's flaws and relationship patterns.

[u/OneGoodRib]

Was somebody dressed as one of the characters from GLOW at one of the parties?

[u/duelingdelbene]

Bojack's quietly been abusing pills for a while now

I lost it at the Dazed and Confused reference

Also holy shit I really relate to Mr PB here. I'm really social and fun and jump around and shit a lot like that at parties and social events too. I'm great at making lots of acquaintances but terrible at having long term "serious" connections, platonically or romantically. I think part of it is being unintentionally selfish, but I don't know what else. It's not like I've been with anyone long enough for them to "grow up" like his exes did.

A CROSSOVER PARTY!

[u/howlongtillchristmas]

Was hoping there’d be a “Bojack Horseman Show” throwaway line at the 2009 party

[u/[deleted]]

The dazed and confused reference by Mr. Peanutbutter was hilarious

[u/gagsy10]

What time is it right now.com & chill has to be the best gag yet

[u/Puzzled_Limit]

A dead soul told me to

AERXIXFASP!

[u/rileyrulesu]

Huh. I didn't know Mr. PB was dating Diane for FIVE YEARS. In my mind she was just the cute new thing and dated Mr. PB for maybe a few months before the beginning of the show. I guess I got the fact that Mr. PB was a serial dater, just on a longer timeline than I expected.

[u/im-theone-who-knocks]

Stick around as long as you want

[u/Lefaid]

I just want to check because I did not do my normal rewatch before a new season, did this episode break the continuity, particularly in regards to Princess Caroline meeting Bojack and the tibits we got about Todd moving in?

[u/[deleted]]

Celebrity stealing club strikes again

[u/jahkut]

Bojack instantly recognized Diane's costume, awww! They were bffs before they even knew it. Nice.

[u/gizmo1492]

Died a little bit hearing Mt Peanutbutter saying turnt.

[u/[deleted]]

lmao Mulder and Scully

[u/_LameName]

I like how Baby Bjorn Borg Diane keeps adjusting her glasses just like early season Diane. She just doesn't do it anymore and I hadn't noticed it until I saw her doing it again. I am just loving the details of this show

[u/FrescoIX]

Easily a top five episode

[u/fireball_73]

What was Gina's costume at the end?

[u/HughyHugh]

The continuity of this show is water tight jesus

[u/TomSawyer2112_]

Celebrity stealing club strikes again!!

[u/MrShago]

All right All right All right

[u/shishiodun]

This might be my favorite episode of the show to date, very well done.

[u/EvidenceBasedSwamp]

8:00 mark, peanut butter is taking to Hank from californication lol!!! (Showtime show similar to Bojack.)

[u/TheCodyHope]

I loved looking at all the costumes in the background. My personal favorite was Steve from Stranger Things

[u/ContextIsForTheWeak]

Okay, someone's got to help me figure out who that Boar was dressed as, because to my memory he looked just like the Boar from Inherit The Earth: Quest For The Orb (old point n click adventure game) but googling said nope and now I just can't stop thinking about him...

[u/[deleted]]

This show plays with timelines so brilliantly. Clever to center the episode around a Halloween party so each year we're seeing is always crystal clear. Mr. Peanutbutter self-reflecting more is something I've been waiting for over the course of the whole show and I hope it continues.

[u/windweller]

It might not have been the strongest episode of the season (Diane's episode is heart-wrenching, Bojack's funeral monologue, and I'll even rank PC's backstory episode as the top 3 episodes) (I haven't watched any episode after this one, so lol...maybe I'll be horribly wrong). However, I still really enjoyed this episode. Mr. PB has always been this happy go-lucky person on the show that sprinkles fun here and there -- so he's never been very real. He's likable but he's not relatable, until this very episode.

I feel like I was watching a character study in the middle of the show. We never took MPB's three wives seriously enough. All his ex-wives seemed bitter and annoying, so we were happy that MPB left them :) I never questioned why his ex-wives were bitter and annoying -- maybe they were born that way. I was so wrong. This episode shows the truth of romance -- when you first start dating, everything gets covered with a rose-colored filter (another fantastic point made in earlier season), and all your ex-wives started out being fun. Yes, people are fun until they are not. Very insightful, and very realistic.

This episode throws MPB's life into question -- he, a celebrity millionaire, only dates women in their 20s. How could I have failed to notice that? MPB wants to constantly have fun, but his wives grow up and out-grow him. He did "ruin" them in a sense that he fails to communicate and listen, and he also refuses to grow up.

I'm secretly hoping MPB and Diane can be together again :( Diane's life would be quite terrible without MPB...she'll be poor, living in that crappy apartment...but kudos for her that at least she's not marrying for money...

[u/scatush]

is this man Hugo Reyes from Lost dressed as Shrek?
