I think you're definitely spot on with the balloon representing his untethering to reality. But I also think that the balloon, being literally an advertisement for Philbert, is a manifestation of bojack's commercialized and inflated (pun intended) ego. His whole life has been devoted to other people's consumption and entertainment, and now he is staring that fact right in the face: a hollow, larger than life version of himself that is nothing more than an advertisement for a tv show.

The scene with Beatrice yelling at Bojack while he was hiding under a table and telling him he had to perform for her party guests was very reminiscent of the scene where Bojack was talking to Sarah Lynn while she was hiding under the table on the "Horsin' Around" set. This is when he gave her the "don't stop dancing" advice, which was directly referenced when Sarah Lynn did a reprise of this song in "The View From Halfway Down." It wasn't until she sang the words "a song you taught me when I was small" that I made this connection, and it was like a punch in the gut.

I actually saw the balloon much simpler; the entire episode was Bojack looking for the person who was blackmailing him/out to get him. Him walking up the steps and looking at the balloon conveyed to me as if to say "Oh I found the person ruining my life...it's me".

One thing that I really loved while watching the show was how when Bojack finished a message. He alwayd says "This is Bojack by the way, Horseman." After a couple of seasons, Diane starts to pick up that line and it really shows how Bojack affected her life.

What I find most interesting is that although Bojack has used many, many drugs none of them were a genuine addiction that caused such a huge problem for him. The pills provided the perfect cover for him to indulge in his addictions without coming off as problematic showing that he has absolutely no self control and at this point doesn’t identify that what he is doing is wrong.

Throughout most of the show, Bojacks morals are largely defined by how people see him; if nobody sees him do something wrong, it isn't wrong, he only confronts his actions when someone sees them, and runs away from anything that can stay secret (Sarah Lynn, Arizona, etc). Who is is vs how he is seen is his biggest conflict, and after season 6's end brings the two into sharp and sudden equality, when Bojack is seen for what he's done, he reaches his lowest low and possibly then his highest high. Ironically, maybe Diane was wrong, and she should have done a takedown of Bojack and held him accountable, without an image to hide behind Bojack may have done more healing earlier on, and before making later mistakes.

I thought the balloon was wholly representative of addiction. it was untethered after his major fallout with Diane, which for BoJack was extremely significant because Diane is so much for him. He sees it when he doesn’t have control. After his most violent “rock bottom” (even thought think the point is that he doesn’t have one), the showstopper moment, he consciously greets the balloon and acknowledges his issue. Diane then brings him to rehab, and he’s “holding on to the balloon” he’s in control. Great video!

For me it was the boat. But you have a very good point. Especially in a society where the number one cause of death for pregnant women is homicide. It strikes me how differently we can see Bojack from many men.

@watching7721

2 ай бұрын

Playing with perspectives is something Bojack does a lot. The only reason we don't see him as irredeemable most of the time is that we get a special insight into why he is the way he is and later on how he can be better. Moments like these are effective because we break from seeing from his eyes and see how he appears to others. Though I personally wouldn't call this irredeemable per say (I know cases of warlords with extensive lists of atrocities turning over a completely new leaf), but that is just my perspective informed by my beliefs and experiences

The BoJack analyses always blow my mind

What I love with your balloon interpretation, is that Diane "sent" that balloon floating away. Like Diane was the last thing keeping him on the ground, and their argument was the end of him trying to keep touch with reality. Great insight, as always !

The way child BoJack flinches when his mother points at him is so heartbreaking...

"Even when things are going well Bojack's mind continue to prepare for the worst case scenario..." That sounds so familiar it's scary. Feeling like everything good is just going to ripped away at any moment. Can't be happy for expecting to lose it.

One thing I love about Sara Lynn's reprisal is it's the curtain CALL. Even after death, the players take a final bow. Sometimes this bow is brief, you played your part and the audience politely claps. The stars however are given roaring applause, as you extend your time on the stage. You've stopped dancing, your show is over, but the world will keep you on the stage just as long as they maintain interest.

I forgot how reminiscent this episode is of Perfect Blue. The confused identities, reality and paranoia

I think the writers didn't want us to normalize Bojack's behaviour, the same way Diane didn't want Philbert to be relatable. It is easy detach yourelf from a character as they are not real; for example Philbert choking Gina is considered normal until we realize Bojack was not acting anymore, suddenly, it all became morbid and tangible. I think the balloon represents all the romanticized characters like Philbert, who should not be celebrated nor promoted according to their actions (especially not with a giant balloon), and yet they are for commercial purposes. And it all makes more sense considering Diane was the one who untethered the balloon, and both Don't Stop Dancing sequences directly reference the commercialization of celebrities. The Balloon also fell on Bojack, breaking the "screen" which also serves to remind us of our relationship with Bojack and that we are the audience. Bojack was never able to distinguish between *being* and *performing* (he literally is performing to us), reality failed him and his rolemodels were always from tv -aka performers. Bojack found comfort in Philbert, and some people might be in the same position when they relate to Bojack.

I feel like the ladder scene was also a reference to Jacob's Ladder, in that movie the protagonist struggles to understand what is real and what is not while having several hallucinations just like Bojack does. Only once he accepts the truth of his own reality and his past he is able to move on, and this is shown by him climbing up the stairs. It's a really good movie if you want to check it up, it also inspired one of the endings of Silent Hill 1 and some of its overall aesthetic/atmosphere.

I like how Philbert gives Mr. Peanutbutter an excuse to wear his sunglasses on his face instead of on his head (or securely snuggled in his v-neck)

Another detail is that Gina is dressed as Judy Garland in her song 'get happy', probably symbolising how she was a performer who was deeply damaged and troubled, but she performed for the entirety of her life. Also, Judy's songs are older and therefore more theatrical which fits the theme, but maybe also to say that this motive of performing until you're in your grave has been in the minds of Hollywood performers for a long long time. (If you watch 'Judy', the movie with Renee Zellweger, it goes into detail how deeply sad and traumatised she was, but still performed to her audience despite it all.)

One interpretation I had about the balloon was as a representation of Bojack's reputation; a visual representation of how Bojack's actions and choices ultimately overshadow the man himself, becoming larger and more uncontrollable as time goes on, until it eventually pops and deflates, representing how when Bojack's history comes to a head, his status will cease to be.

I always interpreted the balloon as bojacks struggle with disassociation. We hear him say it multiple times throughout the show, especially in xerox of a xerox, that he feels like he's watching someone else live his life. As someone's who has dealt with disassociation, it's terrifying to feel like there's this person pretending to be you and you can't do anything to change them. I think the balloon is meant to be the real bojack, representing how he feels like he's just watching this fake version of him live his life from 1000 feet up in the sky, powerless to change the bojack on the ground. When bojack climbs the stairs, he must confront the "real" him. I think you're interpretation is more accurate to what the showrunners were going for. But from the moment I saw that last scene, I fell in love with it. Never have I seen something portray what it's like to become so distant from your own life so clearly. Whatever anyone gets out of the scene, it's amazing just how much impact it has on bojack, and the viewer.

shoutout to stephanie beatriz for that truly show-stopping performance. it was such a trip seeing her in this when i know her as rosa from b99.

Woah I'm lucky this was in my recommendeds

This episode kinda reminded me of perfect blue.

I haven't started watching the video, but I've got a story to tell. During the airing of this season I got hooked with pain medication, i started taking them not because I was phisicaly hurt, but i just wanted to stop feeling the reality i was living. I went for a full year just lonely, i had quited University and used just to roam around parks mostly alone, and in the afternoons i would smoke weed with a friend in, another park. I can't still understand what happened to me that year, but i went downhill, i simply stopped caring about myself and the people around me. I had became just a ghost, most of the time I didn't even knew where i was standing or with whom. In January, of the following year I had an overdose with heroin, i was actually hoping to die, but for some reason I lived, from the i went to rehab, I've been going with a psychiatrist, and getting better. Rewatching this season was simply hurtful, now, that I'm clean, i can understand the outside world, and I'm able to clearly see what I was going through, while watching this Bojack season. I was completely lost, and unaware of the outside world, and just living in a fantasy fulled by drugs. I can't say I got to the point I had a song and an opera show to confront me to reality, but i can say I was simply blinded.

Also.... Gina is wearing the same outfit as Judy Garland from her song “Get Happy” from the film Summer Stock. Who also eventually died from an overdose later in life.

The insistent idea that everyone is out to get you and the blurring of fiction and reality was the worst part of my addiction. "Don't stop dancing" is all you can think. This show portrays it perfectly.

Man. These videos really enhance the experience from the show. Keep up the awsome work!

@@Johnny2Cellos This episode still give adult nightmare.

i personally saw the last scene with the balloon as bojack realizing that it wasn’t philbert who choked gina, who was constantly paranoid, who was addicted to pills. he saw the balloon and realized that philbert is just a character, something that isn’t real, something as simple as a balloon. and if he’s looking at what philbert really is, then he realizes he’s bojack, and everything he has done until that point is what bojack has done.

Wait...more Bojack content? Yes Please!! 🤩

My interpretation of the balloon was that after going over the deep end with strangling Gina, he finally has to come to grips with the reality that his inflated ego is just a facade and now his true self is realizing how he is so small compared to what he thinks the world thinks of him

I really appreciate these videos. They gave me a whole new perspective of the episodes. Keep up the good work bro.

Love the bojack content!

My partner struggled with heroin addiction for 8 years and relapsed when we were together, and this is so accurate. The confusion and mixing of realities, the terrible behavior, the paranoia. It is so incredible to see how a show can depict so many topics so well: depression, addiction, consequences, grief.

9:10 At 8:50 when Bojack is concerned about something that could ruin everything the ballon appears I think it represents the fact that is Bojack himself that takes himself down, that tries to sabotage himself. Like Todd said "it's you"

when you look deeper into bojack it’s so much more darker when you realize

God, thanks, this day became much better now

You just make me love this series so much more ive watch all 6 seasons twice now and didn’t even notice half of these details

I love the way you weaved episode names into the analysis

I love these breakdowns of Bojack episodes! The way you flow out the many representations makes the show much more meaningful upon deeper analysis. May I suggest the episode "Stupid Piece of Sh*t?" That episode hits closest to me when it comes to self hatred and having your own inner voice be your worst demon.

At the end of this video I noticed that the ballon of bojack popped and crashed down on the real bojack. It could just be me but it seems like this could be referencing the failed stunt bojack tried to perform but got brutally injured, making him addicted to the pain killers. When Johnny 3 cello said that the only thing that’s ruining bojack, is bojack it makes makes more heart breaking to know that the thing destroying bojack is him self.

I would love to see a video on the funeral episode! It honestly left a huge impact on me as someone who grew up in an emotionally abusive household and I connected deeply with the fears of what I might think after my parents are gone

The Showstopper is tied with ‘The Old Sugarman Place’ and ‘The Telescope’ for my favorite episodes. I’ve just never seen writing as good as in this show.

My guy, how are you so good at making reviews? I’m genuinely floored by every Bojack review you’ve done

i think this episode brought me comfort because as you said as long as theirs drama and conflict the curtains won’t fall. now that the show is over, I hope bojacks life has no more conflict.

Each of these deep looks, I learn something every time. This is why I love BoJack so much... all the hints and nods to future events, past events... It's one of the best Netflix originals!

Man idk how this channel isn't more popular yet! Love your stuff 😊

i love your analytical videos so much! makes me love the show even more!

Great analysis as always Johnny, so glad you haven’t stopped thinking about Bojack either. Much appreciated!

Excellent! Love your analysis man, keep explaining Bojack's episodes. Also, this episodes is brilliant. His dream is one of the best and the scariest scenes at the whole show (except for the "halfway down" episode)

You know what that ending shot reminds me of? Whenever I see mass murders on the news I wonder, what's wrong with these men? BoJack is completely detached - he's completely lost it. And he almost became one of those murderers.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! 👏🏻. This whole episode reminds me of the old saying “Life imitates art...” Bojack is running from himself. He doesn’t want to admit that his addictions and vices has gone too far... and that’s a lot to say considering we are talking about Bojack. He has always dealt with his depression, and alcohol however, up until this point we have not seen Bojack get this paranoid and detached from reality before for this long. This is the turning point for him, he can’t function. He’s in denial.. that’s why he thinks his life is going so “well”. To me Bojack finally going up the stairs, and coming face to face with the ballon is Bojack finally facing himself, his vices and his drug problem. It’s at this point he kinda of in some way realizes he went too far.. he needs help. He keeps telling himself that’s things are fine and under control because Bojack has always to some extent made a comeback from the things he has done. However, I personally feel that in this episode the balloon following him is a representation of his subconscious mind telling him that he needs to face his reality and get help.... it’s kind of fitting that he has to go up a flight of stairs to the “sky” to finally face himself because it’s almost like he has to come face to face with his “higher self.” Also thanks for pointing out the color difference between when they’re on the show Philbert, and when he’s just Bojack. I didn’t realize that the first time I watched the episode. It’s a good call. 👍🏻

These Bojack analysis videos are phenomenal, keep up the great work 👍

I always saw the Bojack balloon was a metaphor for accountability. Everytime he saw it, he panicked and/or ran away with more drugs. And at the end of the episode after choking Gina, he climbs the stairs and has to look accountability in the eye which leads into the following episode well. Awesome analysis! Definitely one of my favorite episodes of the show 💯

yesssss bro this is my favorite episode so far and i’m happy someone finally analyzed it !!

Only 2 dislikes? That’s a testament to you on the quality of your videos. Love ur analysis of bojack, makes me love the show even more than I did upon my first viewing

im currently in a 6 year long fentanyl addiction and I have been watching this same video for 3 and a half years now, this video has been the one constant in the aspect of understanding and the first bit of help I remember when I was abandoned by all family and peers around me and I was stuck in rehab with nothing but myself a hospital bed and a tv with youtube and Hulu, Netflix, Hbo + etc. obviously having no money or subscriptions had to rely on YT and thats where I found this channel, thx Johnny

One Easter egg I noticed on rewatch is the cork board in Flip’s office has index cards that layout the beats of the three acts of the Filbert episode they are shooting, the story beats can also be mapped to what’s happening to bojack too.

Another amazing BoJack video, great stuff!
