Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVance Waggoner is inspired by Mel Gibson, Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg. Much of this episode's ideas and of season 5's greater theme of how much Bojack's toxicity is normalized were inspired by Raphael Bob-Waksberg finding out he shared an agency with Gibson and wrestling with the moral ramifications given Gibson's infamous past behavior. Just like Gibson, Waggoner used antisemitic language against a police officer. Waggoner's aggressive phone call with his daughter is inspired by Alec Baldwin, while Waggoner attacking someone with a bat when he was young was a reference to Mark Wahlberg, who had physically assaulted a man of Vietnamese descent in 1980s.
- GoofsThe digital clocks on the wall in the What Time Is It Right Now? office incorrectly show the time in Tokyo as 02:05. Tokyo is nine hours ahead of London (18:05) and 14 hours ahead of New York (13:05), so the time in Tokyo is actually 03:05.
- Quotes
BoJack Horseman: Everyone loves a male feminist. It turns out, the problem with feminism, all along, is it just wasn't men doing it. We're much less shrill.

Featured review
The honeydew in the fruit bowl
It took me until it ended in January and many friends' recommendations to check this show out, and since January (and especially with the current Stay Home global initiative) I have viewed this entire series twice now, and it ranks in my list of top 5 adult cartoons. Original, clever, witty, and spanning the whole gamut of emotion are the pinnacles of the show and it will be in my re-watch bank for years to come.
However, this episode is far, far below average. On a show that prides itself on the aforementioned qualities, the entire A-storyline with BoJack becoming a feminist is the least creative thing in the entire series and introduces the worst character of the universe (Vance). The subplot doesn't even really solidify until halfway through but it kills the momentum, which is tough to do in 25 minutes. It doesn't noticeably progress the characters (except for kind of setting up one major event at the end of the season), while simultaneously feeling like it's trying to extract water from a rock. If it weren't for the B-story subplot of Mr. Peanutbutter trying to find his inner bad-guy, this could be a complete throwaway. I disliked it the first time I saw it and I fell asleep the second.
Not all episodes fire on all cylinders, and the show itself still rates a perfect 10. However, with each show that runs for dozens of episodes there is bound to be one that just sinks to the bottom.
