BoJack Horseman: The Show That Made Me Deeply Uncomfortable (And Not in a Good Way)

An Unfiltered Investigation Into One of the Strangest Shows Ever Put on TV

Look, I’ve seen some weird cartoons in my day.

I’ve sat through Sealab 2021. I’ve witnessed Aqua Teen Hunger Force at 3 AM. I’ve even watched my own animation projects spiral into absolute chaos.

But BoJack Horseman?

This one was different.

This show didn’t just confuse me. It didn’t just disturb me. It made me sit there, mouth slightly open, questioning my entire understanding of what should and shouldn’t exist.

And not in a “Wow, what a deep show” kind of way.

More like a “Wait… why is that horse dating a human? Why are there normal humans next to talking animals? What fever dream reality am I trapped in?”

I’m just gonna say it:

BoJack Horseman was unsettling in ways I am STILL trying to mentally process.

BUT.

And I cannot stress this enough…

That theme song? ABSOLUTE FIRE.

Like, who approved this kind of musical masterpiece for such a deeply uncomfortable show? I don’t know who in the production team sold their soul to the musical gods to get this track made, but I want to personally shake their hand.

Now, theme song aside… let’s talk about why this show made me deeply uncomfortable—and not in a good way.

⸻

Reason #1: The “Animal-Human” Situation Was NEVER Addressed (And I Have Questions)

So let me get this straight.

• There are talking animal people living side by side with regular humans…

• And everyone is just cool with this?

• And some of them date each other?

• And at no point does anyone stop and go, “Hey… uh… this is kind of weird, right?”

Listen, if you’re gonna build a world where humans and animal-people co-exist, you need to establish some rules.

Zootopia did this. DuckTales did this. Heck, even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gave us some kind of explanation for how their world worked.

But BoJack Horseman just throws you into this unholy Dr. Moreau nightmare and expects you to accept it.

AND I WILL NOT.

⸻

Reason #2: The Show Acted Like It Was Deep (But It Was Just Depressing)

Listen, I love a good existential crisis in animation.

I love dark humor that punches you in the gut.

But BoJack Horseman didn’t just give us dark humor.

It gave us “Hey, let’s make you feel like garbage for six straight seasons, then remind you life is meaningless.”

Oh, cool. So fun. So enjoyable.

It’s like if someone made an animated version of a midlife crisis, but then cranked up the sadness to 100 and said, “Yeah, this is entertainment now.”

Meanwhile, shows like Futurama and Gravity Falls managed to tackle heavy themes while still being, you know… watchable.

This show?

No.

This show just sat in the corner, smoking a cigarette, whispering “nothing matters” while staring directly into your soul.

⸻

Reason #3: The Interspecies Relationships Broke My Brain

So you’re telling me…

• A horse can date a human.

• A cat can date a human.

• A literal anthropomorphic Labrador retriever can be a TV personality.

• And nobody… NOBODY… questions this???

I’m sorry, but my brain rejects this entire premise.

The ONLY cartoon where human-animal relationships make sense is Beauty and the Beast, and that’s because he turns back into a dude at the end.

But in BoJack Horseman?

Nope. No explanations. No rules. Just absolute chaos.

I mean, imagine if this happened in real life. Imagine you show up to a wedding and the groom is a giant talking horse.

ARE YOU JUST SUPPOSED TO SIT THERE AND PRETEND THIS IS NORMAL?

I CANNOT.

⸻

Reason #4: The Animation Style Made It Worse

The flat, weirdly stiff animation only added to the uncanny horror.

Every time BoJack moved, it felt wrong.

Every time a human and an animal character interacted, my brain short-circuited.

And let’s not forget the dead, soulless expressions on everyone’s faces—because, yeah, let’s make this even more unsettling.

It felt like a fever dream drawn in Microsoft Paint.

You want me to sit through six seasons of this? I could barely get through two episodes without questioning my existence.

⸻

Final Verdict: This Show Was a Psychological Experiment and We Were the Test Subjects

Listen, I get it.

Some people love BoJack Horseman. Some people say it’s “one of the greatest animated series of all time.”

And if you’re one of those people?

Good for you. Truly.

But me?

I spent every episode wondering why I was watching a literal talking horse spiral into depression while dating humans in a world that refuses to explain itself.

HOWEVER.

That theme song? That glorious, absolute banger of a theme song?

🔥 That was the real star of the show. 🔥

If the entire BoJack Horseman experience had been just that theme song on a loop, I’d have no complaints.

But alas, instead, I had to sit through a six-season-long existential crisis wrapped in a biology experiment gone wrong.

This show isn’t for me.

Why Rick and Morty is Hot Garbage—Irresistible, Hot, Soulless, Rotten Garbage

A Brutal Takedown by Someone Who Knows Animated Turds (Because I’ve Made a Few)

Alright, listen up. I already know half of you are about to furiously type a 3,000-word Reddit response about how Rick and Morty is actually “deep” and “satirical” and “the smartest show ever made.”

I see you.

I respect your passion.

I do not care.

Because here’s the thing—I am an animator. I literally make cartoons for a living. I know exactly what it looks like when an animated project crashes and burns. Just watch my own work. Seriously, some of my cartoons compete for Olympic-level cringe.

And let me tell you: Rick and Morty isn’t bad in the way a dumb cartoon should be bad. It’s bad in the way a dude who read one Nietzsche quote, drank 14 Red Bulls, and won’t shut up about “how society works” is bad.

This show tricked us all into thinking it was genius. I, too, was once bamboozled. But today, I’m here to tell you the truth:

This show is hot, soulless, rotten garbage.

Let’s get into it.

⸻

Reason #1: This Show Thinks It’s Smarter Than You (And That’s Annoying as Hell)

You ever met a guy who starts every conversation with, “Well, ACTUALLY…” and then proceeds to explain something you already know, but in the most obnoxious way possible?

Yeah. That’s Rick and Morty.

Every episode screams, “LOOK HOW SMART WE ARE!”—but it’s just nonsense with technobabble.

Meanwhile, Futurama was out here actually being smart—with real science jokes, hidden math references, and Easter eggs that required a Ph.D. to catch.

But Rick and Morty? Oh, no. They gotta explain the joke five times per episode, just in case you missed how “genius” it was.

It’s like watching someone laugh at their own joke while repeatedly punching you in the face with a portal gun.

⸻

Reason #2: The Fans Are the Absolute Worst (And the Show Encourages It)

Oh, you thought I wouldn’t bring up the Szechuan sauce riot?

You sweet, naive fool.

Remember when an entire horde of unwashed fans started screaming in McDonald’s because they didn’t get a packet of sauce that was literally just sugar water with soy sauce in it?

That was the moment we should have realized this show was a problem.

But the worst part? The show encourages this behavior.

It loves its rabid fanbase who act like they’ve achieved enlightenment because they “get” Rick and Morty.

News flash: You are not Rick. You are not a misunderstood genius. You are Jerry.

And I should know, because I, too, am Jerry.

⸻

Reason #3: The “Dark Humor” is Just Misery With a Laugh Track

Wow. Another episode where Rick is a narcissistic sociopath who ruins everyone’s life, and the moral of the story is “Nothing matters, Morty!”?

How fresh. How original.

This isn’t deep. This isn’t brilliant. It’s just lazy writing disguised as genius.

Dark humor doesn’t have to mean “make everything as awful as possible.” Shows like Gravity Falls proved you could balance weirdness, existential dread, and comedy without turning into an unrelenting misery spiral.

Meanwhile, Rick and Morty is just a Groundhog Day loop of Rick burping, insulting Morty, and killing someone for shock value.

This isn’t a cartoon. This is a nihilistic PowerPoint presentation.

⸻

Reason #4: The Show Has Been Running on Fumes Since Season 3

At some point, Rick and Morty became the TV equivalent of reheating leftovers from two nights ago and pretending it’s still a five-star meal.

Season 1 and 2? Genuinely creative.

Season 3? Starting to lose steam.

Season 4? Wait, are they just recycling the same three storylines?

Season 5? WHAT EVEN IS THIS SHOW ANYMORE?

It’s like they realized they only need to repeat the same three beats in every episode:

1. Rick proves he’s the smartest man alive.

2. Morty cries.

3. Nothing matters.

Wow. So deep. So philosophical. Let me go write a 2,000-word essay about this on Reddit.

(Side note: you know a show has lost the plot when Family Guy is aging better than it.)

⸻

Final Verdict: Rick and Morty is Overhyped, Overrated, and Over Itself

At the end of the day, Rick and Morty is just a show for people who want to feel smart without actually being smart.

It’s a show that had potential, but instead of evolving, it just doubled down on its worst qualities—smugness, nihilism, and increasingly lazy writing.

Yes, you can still enjoy it. No, I will not stop you.

But don’t sit here and pretend this is “the smartest show ever made” when Futurama, Gravity Falls, and Venture Bros exist.

Now, if you disagree and want to scream at me, please:

✅ Light me up in the comments

✅ Troll me on my YouTube channel!

✅ Tell me my taste is garbage, which, honestly, is fair—have you seen the cartoons I make?

(*Seriously, I know what animated disasters look like. I’ve personally created several.)

Or, if you’re feeling truly chaotic, let’s rank which show fell harder: The Simpsons or Family Guy. Coming soon, because wow, what a race to the bottom.

🔥 Now go forth and argue. 🔥

Next Up: The BoJack Horseman Post

Next, we’re going all in on the nightmare that is BoJack Horseman, aka:

“The Show That Made Me Deeply Uncomfortable (And Not in a Good Way).”

Because I’m still trying to mentally process whatever interspecies nonsense was happening there.

You ready for this? Let’s do it.

Welcome to Animation Anarchy

The Blog No One Asked For

Well, here we are. I finally did it. I started a blog dedicated to over-analyzing, roasting, and occasionally worshiping animated films and TV shows. Why? Because cartoons have shaped my brain more than any formal education ever could, and honestly, I have a lot of opinions—most of which are loud, unnecessary, and probably wrong.

But that’s what makes this fun.

What You’re Getting Yourself Into

If you stick around (and I sincerely hope you do, because my self-esteem depends on it), here’s what you can expect:

• Cartoon Critiques with Zero Mercy – Just because we loved a show as kids doesn’t mean it wasn’t secretly unhinged. I’ll be picking apart animation, from masterpieces to absolute dumpster fires.

• Absurd Conspiracy Theories – Ever wonder if the Smurfs were part of a weird socialist cult? Or why Rick and Morty fans act like they have an IQ of 300 but still drink orange soda? Buckle up.

• Psychological Profiles of Animated Characters – Because let’s face it, most of them need serious help. I’ll be diving into why our beloved childhood icons were actually one bad day away from villainy.

• Rants, Raves, and Over-the-Top Hot Takes – Some shows are brilliant. Some are literal war crimes against storytelling. And some (looking at you, Arthur) just exist to haunt my nightmares.

But Here’s the Best Part…

I’m not just screaming into the void—I want to hear from you. The comment section is open for debates, counterarguments, and the occasional unhinged rant about how I’ve personally wronged you with my opinions. Love it? Hate it? Want to challenge me to a cartoon trivia duel? Bring it.

So grab your favorite cartoon snack of questionable nutritional value, and let’s dive headfirst into the chaos.

Welcome to Animation Anarchy.

You’ve been warned.
