Meet the most beloved sitcom horse of the '90s , 20 years later. He's a curmudgeon with a heart of...not quite gold...but something like gold. Copper?

true But it got me thinking about how well BoJack is able to be comedic and then get super dark without seeming completely tone deaf. Like that one scene where Emily was leaving Todd because of BoJack as they're pantomiming being in a car. It's hilariously absurd but the seriousness of the conversation still hits home.
This is also prominent in many of the serious Bojack scenes wherein the character uses humor as a response mechanism to uncomfortable events. These moments infuse comedy into discussions of the show’s dark themes in a way that helps maintain the balance between drama and comedy while also feeling natural to the characters involved.
