[[caption-width-right:245:Hey, isn't that the horse from ''Horsin' Around''?]]

-->''Back in the nineties, I was in a very famous TV show...''

''Bojack Horseman'' is a Creator/{{Netflix}} original series that premiered on August 22, 2014. Will Arnett stars as Bojack Horseman, the titular character who played the lead role in the popular nineties sitcom ''Horsin' Around''. Currently Bojack lives in his luxurious Hollywood home with his deadbeat roommate, Todd(Creator/AaronPaul), drowning his empty former D-List celebrity life [[HiddenDepths and other problems]] [[TheAlcoholic through means of alcohol]] while his agent/[[OnAgainOffAgainGirlfriend on-again-off-again girlfriend]], Princess Carolyn (Creator/AmySedaris), struggles to find him any work.[[note]]He apparently takes up 80% of her time and makes her company no money.[[/note]] The only productive thing going on in his empty life is the writing of his memoir, which he continued to put off until his publishing company hired a ghost writer, Diane (Creator/AlisonBrie), to do a majority of the work for him. [[DefrostingTheIceQueen As Bojack begins to open up to her]], he not only begins facing reality without the help of booze and drugs (though he does go off on the occasional bender), but he also gets to know Diane as much as she him, which complicates the situation that she is the current girlfriend of his self-proclaimed best friend and [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter portrait of a happier version of himself]], Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins).

While the series stands as a comedy (clever, if sometimes a bit off-color), it grapples with some heavy handed themes to the emptiness of being a celebrity, as well as the harshness of show business and its effects on relationships, giving it's quirky tone a slightly more melancholy feel.
----
!!''Bojack Horseman'' provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Bojack doesn't like talking about his childhood or his parents due to their cruel-hearted spirit crushing and neglect to him as a kid.
* BlackComedy: The series finale of ''Horsin' Around'' apparently has [[spoiler: Bojack's character dying of a broken heart due to his three adopted orphans not appreciating him enough, who are in turn handed over to the child protective services]].
-->'''Bojack:''' We might've gone too dark on that series finale.
* DeadpanSnarker: Bojack displays this, especially when dealing with the likes of Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter. Princess Carolyn also falls into this.
* DumbBlonde: Mr. Peanutbutter shifts into this.
* {{Expy}}: Sarah Lynn is this of any drug dependant, overly sexualized teen pop idol (Creator/MileyCyrus anyone?).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bojack likely falls under this trope, while the show's own Creator/{{Netflix}} description describes him as having a "heart of not quite gold, maybe copper".
* OnAgainOffAgainGirlfriend: Bojack and Princess Carolyn are portrayed as this before focus shifts more to Bojack and Diane's relationship.
* PettingZooPeople: The world of ''Bojack Horseman'' is populated by people as much as it is humanoid animals, some being relatively regular like Bojack and Mr. Peanutbutter (a horse and a dog respectively), while more extreme examples would be a whale newscaster.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Fur]]: Princess Carolyn.
