BoJack Horseman: The 64 best lines from season 4

If you’ve already inhaled all of season 4 of Netflix’s animated depressed-horse comedy BoJack Horseman, then you know that there are far too many quality one-liners, exchanges, and sight gags for one person to keep track of. But don’t worry — we did it for you!

Here’s our episode-by-episode breakdown of the the season’s bon-est bon mots, from fun but stunningly numbing dumb puns to coy Courtney Portnoy ploys.

EPISODE 1: “SEE MR. PEANUTBUTTER RUN”

1. VINCENT D’ONOFRIO: This D’Onofrio has had enough-rio!

2. PRINCESS CAROLINE: Are you sure you wouldn’t rather just play a governor in a movie? I could attach Tommy Schlamme to direct.
MR. PEANUTBUTTER: Tommy Schlamme, Schmommy Schlammy!

3. MR. PEANUTBUTTER: This isn’t an us-ocracy, it’s a dem-ocracy. So let’s ask dem what they think.

4. ANCHORMAN JUMBOGRUMBO: To ski or not to ski? That was the question posed by William Shakespeare, and it’s perhaps even more relevant today.

5. TODD: Aw, man, I was hoisted by own petard — the one petard I thought would never hoist me!

6. PROFESSOR THISTLETHORP: Skiing isn’t about reading or books! It’s about speaking truth to power. And you have spoken it eloquently. You are my finest student. I love you.

EPISODE 2: “THE OLD SUGARMAN PLACE”

7. GRANDMOTHER SUGARMAN: You look so handsome in your soldier suit! Like a young Clark Gerbil.

8. WWII-ERA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER: All right folks, this is for posterity, so don’t forget to look faraway sad!

9. FLY: Have a nice life, Hambone.
BOJACK: Why’d you call me Hambone?
FLY: You told me that’s what your name was! Hambone Fakenameington.

10. BOJACK: You’ve got a nice set of pipes. You’re like a Josh Groban who doesn’t also think he’s funny.

11. GRANDFATHER SUGARMAN: What’s broken in the heart can never be repaired. But the brain? Well, we have all sorts of science for the brain!

12. GRANDMOTHER SUGARMAN, after brain surgery: Why, I have half a mind.

EPISODE 3: “HOORAY! TODD EPISODE!”

13. PRINCESS CAROLINE: Courtly roles like the formerly portly consort are Courtney Portnoy’s forte!

14. HOLLYHOCK: Ever since I was a baby, people said I looked like BoJack Horseman.
TODD: That’s a terrible thing to say to a baby!

15. TIM GUNN: That behatted boy! Fashion was never meant to be an inherently elitist form!

16. BOJACK: Life is but an endless series of missed opportunities, some involving Pottery Barn.

17. BOJACK: I can’t break another heart. Not today. Not Channing.

EPISODE 4: “COMMENCE FRACKING”

18. MR. PEANUTBUTTER: The only fracking that’s going to be happening is in this bedroom. I’m going to drill you deep and fill you with a mysterious substance that scientists still don’t know the ramifications of.

19. STEFANI: Diane, relax! This is not a conversation between an employee and her superior, this is a conversation between a friend and her superior.

20. STEFANI: You gotta do you, girl! If he’s doing him, then who’s doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one’s doing you.

21. BOJACK: This is a summer dress? I guess I don’t know dresses.

22. DIANE: It’s called Girl Croosh! Stupid Girl is just a subsection of the main site.

23. HARVEY FIERSTEIN: And so the dance of life continues. I’m Harvey Fierstein, bidding you a sexy evening.

EPISODE 5: “THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS”

24. TURTLETAUB: Courtney Portnoy-vey.

25. ROBERT SIEGEL, via Diane’s ringtone: The House Majority Whip outlines a new bipartisan plan to encourage YOU to answer your ringing phone.
AUDIE CORNISH: For Thursday, October 12th, this is All Rings Considered.
ROBERT SIEGEL: I’m Robert Siegel.
AUDIE CORNISH: And I’m Audie Cornish. The proposed bill would take effect when someone tries to call you and you hear this ringtone.

26. PRINCESS CAROLINE: You know Courtney Portnoy! You probably recall when she soared as a thorny horticulturist in One Sordid Fortnight With a Short-Skirted Sorceress. How would you enjoy joining Portnoy for a scorched soy porterhouse pork four-courser at Koi? Glorify your source, but don’t make it feel forced, of course. And try the borscht!

27. KATRINA: Peanutbutter is Peanut-better!

28. PERSON ON LOCAL NEWS: I don’t feel safe anymore walking my own street at night. Me – a man!
STATE SENATOR #1: I am convening a series of congressional hearings on the matter of women and guns, because even one death from the bullet of a female gun owner is too many.
STATE SENATOR #2: What are my constituents supposed to do, not compliment random women on the street because they might be carrying a gun? We cannot allow our lives to be dictated by that kind of fear!

EPISODE 6: “STUPID PIECE OF SH*T”

29. BOJACK’S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: No, you don’t deserve to die young, only the greats die young. Oh, now you think you’re young all of a sudden!

30. BOJACK’S INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: Oh my god, is that life? You’re there, you do your thing, and then people forget. “Forget it Jake, it’s Sooze-town.” Is that me? Am I the Suddenly Sooze-town of people?

31. MR. PEANUTBUTTER: Am I Ace of Base right now? Because all I want is another one of these babies!

32. RABBITOWITZ: We are doing to this wedding what Rob Durst did to that lady and Fred Durst did to his career.

33. FELICITY HUFFMAN: Do you know how much s— you throw over the side of your deck? Beer bottles! Lit cigarettes! Scripts where the lead is female!

EPISODE 7: “UNDERGROUND”

34. PINKY PENGUIN: I have so many regrets! I just picked up a sitcom where the mom is a zombie. It’s called Mombie – and it’s terrible!

35. SHEEP: Is anyone getting any bars? I’m not getting any baaaaars!

36. MR. PEANUTBUTTER: Well, maybe there should be points! [crowd cheers] People seem to like my points idea — that’s another point for me!

37. MR. PEANUTBUTTER: Let’s listen to the guy who’s saying don’t kill me. He’s got some good ideas!

38. MR. PEANUTBUTTER: I fear by daybreak, there will be no Braff meat left.

39. TODD: Can we return to the surface? All my favorite clouds are up there.

EPISODE 8: “THE JUDGE”

41. F.H.B.A. STAR SAMANTHA: I may be a human rights lawyer, but those skanks are human wrongs.

42. HOLLYHOCK: So making TV is like a full-time job? Then why is it so bad! I just assumed people weren’t trying.

43. BOJACK: Hollyhock, wait. Wait… wait!
HOLLYHOCK: I get it, it’s my weight!

44. DIANE: Maybe instead of trying to figure out the woman-blob workaround, you should just apologize to Holly.

45. SIR MIX-A-LOT, JUDGE ON F.H.B.A.: We make a show about empowering women and lifting them up. And you cheapen it up with this coarse vulgarity? I cannot lie — you disgust me.

EPISODE 9: “RUTHIE”

46. BOJACK: Diane, I am a famous — everyone gives me everything I want all the time. It is an existential curse, but a huge day-to-day convenience.

47. DIANE: You told me to use a vacation-day at work because this was, quote, a feminism-related emergency!
BOJACK: Ha! I’ve got your number.

48. PRINCESS CAROLINE: Did Chris Kattan drop out? Right before his comeback? Right before the world is finally ready to settle for Kattan?

49. PRINCESS CAROLINE: Who knew Portnoy had so many complaints!

50. RHINO DOCTOR: As Charles Lindbergh would say, sometimes you fly an airplane and sometimes you lose a baby. In this case, you didn’t fly the airplane.

52. ITALIAN RESTAURANT WAITER: Ah, Miss Carrie Underwood! Miss Carey Mulligan! Miss Carey, first name Mariah! Look at all these mis-carries!!

EPISODE 10: “LOVIN THAT CALI LIFESTYLE!!”

53. BEATRICE: Henrietta, don’t use a foreign language in front of the child — she’ll get ideas!

54. TURTLETAUB: TV pitching is like the Israeli flag: It’s nothing without a big star.

55. PRINCESS CAROLINE: Tony Shaloub?
TURTLETAUB: Tony Sha-whob? This is WhatTimeIsItRightNow.com, not WhatTimeIsItFifteenYearsaAgo.geocities.com/MonkFanPage!

56. GREGORY SUNG: I know of you, but not through your work. I’m Gregory Sung, and I only watch foreign films. That’s my deal.

EPISODE 11: “TIME’S ARROW”

57. GRANDFATHER SUGARMAN: Stop making books your friends. Reading does nothing for young women but build their brains, taking valuable resources away from their breasts and hips.

58. HIGHWAY SIGN: Now Entering California. Hippies Welcome! Gays… Not Yet.

59. LITTLE BOJACK: I’m not a baby, I’m six.
FATHER HORSEMAN: Yes, wah-wah, ha-ga, goo-goo!
LITTLE BOJACK: I’m forming sentences!
FATHER HORSEMAN: Oh, and I can’t? Everyone’s a critic!

EPISODE 12: “WHAT TIME IS IT RIGHT NOW”

60. WHATTIMEISIT.COM EMPLOYEE #1: I’m sorry, did you say newt time?
WRITER: No, no — new time.
WHATTIMEISIT.COM EMPLOYEE #1: Oh, so it’s not like a time full of newts?
PRINCESS CAROLINE: No. Unless you want it to be a time full of newts?
WHATTIMEISIT.COM EMPLOYEE #1: No, no, no, I’m just clarifying.

61. WHATTIMEISIT.COM EMPLOYEE #2: As we like to say here, there are little-hand ideas and big-hand ideas. And that’s a big-hand idea!

62. PRINCESS CAROLINE: It’s a phenomenal script that may or may not involve ghosts or newts.
BOJACK: Does it involve ghosts or newts?
PRINCESS CAROLINE: It may!

63. THRIFTY LODGE EMPLOYEE: We have zero ballrooms in this Thrifty Lodge.

64. HOLLYHOCK: What on-the-go jetsetter is demanding more honeydew in his or her fruit cup?
BOJACK: Nobody ever wants honeydew! But it’s always there.
HOLLYHOCK: It is literally the worst part of everything it’s in. It’s like the Jared Leto of fruits!
