hollywoostarHey everybody! Say hello to Mr. Peanutbutter!
Mr. Peanutbutter in his first entrance on the show that saved broadcast television
Here there be vague spoilers.
Mr. Peanutbutter hails from the Netflix original series Bojack Horseman, the most depressing yet weirdly uplifting tragicomedy about film and television professionals that for some reason exists in a world where every single animal on earth is anthropomorphic, human-sized, and sentient that you're ever going to see.
If you've ever wanted to know the difference between "friend chicken" and "food chicken", this show is for you.
No really, there's a whole episode about that
Bojack covers topics both absurd and topical, whether head on or deeply couched in metaphor.
But isn't it, though? I mean. It has a cruise ship.
And all the while the world is chock full of astonishing alliteration
WHY ARE YOU NOT A GIF?
and animal jokes.
Frequently of the visual variety
And if all that hasn't sold you yet, a sexy teen dolphin pop star does a music video about how she wants to murder her unborn fetus, there's a character in the first season who is literally three little boys on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat, and an episode in the third season is set underwater and done almost entirely without dialog. This show is amazing.
It's also unsurprisingly a favorite of furries, so uh. Google with caution. *shivers*
But enough about Bojack! What is this, a crossover episode?! Let's get to the real star, Mr. Peanutbutter.
I'm not sure I want to know how that works
Mr. Peanutbutter is an anthropomorphic yellow lab. Which . . . honestly, is most of what you need to know about his character.
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
He is a very well meaning, sweet, loyal guy.
In the few episodes before he loses his license. . . .
Who is very, very ditzy.
Yes, Mr. Peanutbutter. That is exactly what that expression is.
What he lacks in intelligence he more than makes up for in charisma, cheer, and enthusiasm.
Eeeeeeeeears
Though he exudes self-confidence 99.9% of the time, he can still be self-conscious about his appearance.
Nope. Didn't notice at all.
Though, I mean. Come on. The guy can even pull off a fuscia suit. He's got nothing to worry about.
Remember what I said about him being a dog being most of what you need to know?
Mr. Peanutbutter will be coming in post-season three. So he's married, just come off a run on a wildly popular game show, and has managed to make his name in his universe not just as a television star but also a bonafide hero. He's fired his agent and in the midst of attempting to be his own representation, has made a deal to do a reality show about teaching under-privileged teens the meaning of life and being themselves.
So, yeah. He thinks Fandom is Detroit. Also, apparently it's a nudist colony for kinky dwarves? Which, you know what? He does not share those particular urges but he fully supports that lifestyle, if that's what makes you all happy. He will probably spend a fair amount of time running around the park barking at squirrels. Whom he thinks are paparazzi. (And, I mean, they kind of are.) And calling home to tell Diane all about his adventures and prove he's not just on a three month bender at Bojack's house.
So there you go! It's mostly gifs. If a picture is worth a thousand words than a moving picture must be worth, oh, like, fifteen hundred at least, right?
Oh and: "Hollywoo" is not a typo. Bojack is the kind of show where washed up, drunken celebrities can steall the D from the Hollywood sign in a petty love dispute, accidentally destroy said D and part of a prison in the process, and the whole of society just rolls with it and renames an entire industry. They were going to make a movie about the story, but then Quentin Tarantula and Todd the guy who crashes on Bojack's couch decided that it wasn't really a movie so much as a subscription service for snacks. Which is too bad, I hear Wallace Shawn was signed on to play Bojack.
Anyway. Questions?
