5 Darkest BoJack Horseman Theories

Occam’s Razor is the theory that simplest explanation is most likely to be correct; and in Mr. Peanutbutter’s case, that explanation is that he’s simply an idiot.

This theory by u/MorelMountainLady though posits that he’s not an idiot, but rather does almost everything deliberately and methodically to aid his career, destroy BoJack, or control the women he’s with. His first big break came when he strolled onto the set of Vincent D’Onofrio’s show, seemingly unaware of the audience, crew and set, and just began vamping. His peppy attitude was the perfect antidote to D’Onofrio’s sour approach, and he’s hired on the spot.

With BoJack, there’s too many annoyances to count. The biggest ones are his decision to question BoJack as to why he kissed Diane on live TV, then getting himself cast in Philbert and stealing BoJack’s limelight. It’s not beyond possibilities that he’s deliberately trying to sabotage BoJack at every turn.

As for his girlfriends, he constantly dates younger women, either naive or idealistic; easy fodder for manipulation. Diane’s Belle room/ball room are great examples, as are the fact he tells Pickles he still has feelings for Diane, then proposes to her despite not being in love with her.
