7 Worst Things BoJack Horseman Has Ever Done

5. Kissing Diane

Taking advantage of vulnerable women certainly seems to be BoJack's thing.

After leaving Herb’s house without the forgiveness he sought, BoJack is dejected. Diane, no doubt remembering how BoJack (eventually) consoled her after her father’s passing two episodes ago, offers some solace, telling him with genuine warmth that he was brave to confront his past. It’s a touching moment, showing the depth of connection and friendship these two are capable of when the stars align. Then BoJack ruins it.

He lurches into a kiss, with Diane shoving him off and returning to the car in silence. He spoils himself as a viable friend for Diane here, when they’re both lonely people in desperate need of one. There were no signals to misread and BoJack had already screwed things up with his misguided affections when he stole the Hollywood 'D' for her. Plainly put, he should know better by now.

What's worst is jealousy over Mr Peanutbutter in general appears to be a factor, meaning the kiss was hardly about Diane at all. Though seeming to be spur of the moment rather than calculated, the idea of complicating Diane’s marriage to Mr Peanutbutter was certainly on his mind.
