7 Worst Things BoJack Horseman Has Ever Done
1. Being In Bed With Penny
We’d struggle to think of how dark the show would have to go to get worse than this. This is the moment that has haunted BoJack ever since it happened, but like when he threw the doll away, his remorse counts for little.
Defenders of BoJack point to three main pieces of evidence: Penny was of legal age, Penny consented enthusiastically, and nothing actually happened.
While all those are true, the context of the situation offers a different perspective. BoJack spent the night getting Penny’s friends so drunk one of them was hospitalised, and had just been rejected by Penny’s mother, Charlotte.
Even without those factors though, BoJack is extremely predatory. They didn’t do anything only because Charlotte walked in and caught them. BoJack has never been good with temptation, especially when he’s hurting. It’s unlikely to imagine that BoJack would have stopped if not interrupted.
While BoJack’s age is never revealed, his 90s sitcom suggests he’s in his late forties, early fifties. The same age as Hugh Jackman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt. Would people honestly be concerned with context if they were caught in bed with a 17-year-old?
