BoJack Horseman Season 6: 7 Things It Must Do
5. Deal With Pickles
Pickles is a decent character with a distinct personality, but she doesn’t seem like the type to join the core cast full time. While Season 5 ended with Mr Peanutbutter proposing to her, he was initially about to break up with her after cheating on her - again - with Diane.
Mr Peanutbutter has seemingly endless likeability with most of the other characters (apart from BoJack), but there are a few flashes of his true personality here and there. He’s a nice guy, but he’s nowhere near as perfect as everyone thinks. The Pickles dilemma could bring that out for the world to see.
Proposing to someone when you actually want to break up but don’t want to hurt their feelings is a class-a douche move. Pickles perhaps isn’t as intelligent as Diane, and her goal of being an influencer is a little vapid, but she’s not stupid. Certainly not to the extent of Jillian in Family Guy.
The writers are going to have to find a way to resolve this which keeps Mr Peanutbutter in the show, lets Pickles down gently and gives us a satisfying payoff from the mess PB’s gotten himself into.
