BoJack Hates the Troops

Bojack has tunnel vision. He is implacable. If he were a pit bull he would never let go. This is what is endearing. There will be no happy endings. When he hears the Navy "Seal" dissing him, he ignores everyone's advice to stay off the phone. Of course, this is entirely satirical concerning the trivialities that we see has newsworthy. Once we have our sacred cows, we don't want to hear anything else.

The second episode of Bojack Horseman, "BoJack Hates the Troops," is a clever and humorous take on the idea of celebrity and patriotism. With its biting satire and sharp wit, the episode manages to be both funny and thought-provoking, while also deepening our understanding of the show's main character.

In the episode, BoJack is criticized by a Navy SEAL for his lack of support for the troops. This leads him to go on a public relations campaign to prove that he's a patriotic American. However, his efforts are hampered by his own selfishness and the manipulations of his agent, Princess Carolyn.

One of the strengths of the episode is its humor. The show's creators are not afraid to take on controversial topics and poke fun at the absurdities of modern society. In "BoJack Hates the Troops," we see this in the way the episode skewers both celebrity culture and blind patriotism. The result is a hilarious and biting satire that will have viewers laughing out loud.

Another strong aspect of the episode is the way it deepens our understanding of BoJack as a character. We see his flaws and insecurities on full display as he tries to prove his patriotism to the world. At the same time, we also see glimpses of his humanity and vulnerability, such as when he confides in his friend Diane (voiced by Alison Brie).

Overall, "BoJack Hates the Troops" is a strong episode that continues to build on the themes and characters introduced in the pilot. With its mix of humor and satire, the episode is sure to entertain viewers while also making them think.

The humor in this episode is a particularly strong aspect, as it manages to take on a serious topic like patriotism without being preachy or heavy-handed. Instead, the show's creators use humor to highlight the absurdity of blind patriotism and celebrity culture, making the episode both funny and thought-provoking.

So I definitely enjoyed this more than the first episode, and we're already getting into crazy territory. I'm loving how they portray the news station, as well Neal McBeal, criticizing BoJack while he's doing the same thing. It shows how stupid the media is sometimes, and while BoJack was in the right in my opinion, he was just favored out. But I like how he opened up to Diane in the end.

Much better than first episode,funny with interesting plot.

The episode that hooked me up the second time I tried out to watch this show. An instant classic episode that presents a dispute that BoJack has with a seal for a box of muffins, and how the controversy spreads to inconsequential stuff like the condition of a veteran of the seal, the condition of a famous star of Hollywood of the horse, or the number of muffins that had the pack (12!). The handful of commentaries that BoJack shares were actually thoughtful, and the role that the media played, exaggerating the situation, condemning BoJack, and deviating the debate, was fantastic. Parallel, the protagonist led the subplot along with Diane. They have their first progress in the project. Diane is an awesome character. She brings out the deepest feelings and memories of BoJack, and they share a great dynamic. The final scene, where BoJack opens up and tells her how his childhood was, is beautiful. Incidentally, the flashbacks showed here were very tough, proving the hard growing up that the horse had. Her mother was cold and distant from him. His father was violent and harmful, whether psychologically and physically. Mr. Peanutbutter starts a reality, "Peanut Butter and Jelly" which allowed a lot of material for jokes and a scenario to BoJack for apologizing for his behavior with McNeal. Meanwhile, Todd is in trouble again, this time with a Japanese girl that tried to swindle him and stole 80 bucks from Todd's account. It amazes me how serious problems are overlooked and the episode is built on details.
