10 Most Shocking Bojack Horseman Moments
7. Forgiving Vance Waggoner
Vance Waggoner is scum. He is everything wrong with Hollywoo and an uncomfortable mirror of Bojack himself. Yet, in true Hollywoo fashion, he is strangely magnetic, loveable and crucially, forgivable.
Vance is the classic bad boy taken to the extreme. He hates Jews, Swedes, wants to murder his own daughter, sexts twelves year olds and hits prostitutes with baseball bats. But, he’s famous, he’s rich and the people just have to love him!
Vance is extreme in his characterisation and though a celebrity who had done all of these things would (probably) definitely go to jail, there are plenty who have done some of them and get away with it just fine.
In service of Hollywoo’s twisted ideals Princess Caroline and Diane attempt to give feminism a male face so that people will actually care about it. In pursuit of being that face, Bojack and Vance try to one-up each other, Vance mirrors Bojack and Bojack mirrors, Vance.
Though magnetic, it’s easy for us to hate Vance, he’s pretty disgusting as a human being. But can we hate Bojack? Is he pretty disgusting as a horse?
