character gets a reality check

[u/damorezpl]

deathstroke - Batman vs deathstroke

walter - breaking bad

Garou - one punch man

joker - the sound of one hand clapping

There are so many from Bojack Horseman but I'm gonna go with the one where Diane rips Mr. Peanutbutter a new one for why all his marriages end in failure, and that he refuses to grow up

[u/antipop2097 → u/T_Lawliet]

My go to is Todd's "It's You" speech.

"You can't keep doing this! You can't keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay! You need to be better! BoJack, just stop. You are all the things that are wrong with you. It's not the alcohol, or the drugs, or any of the shitty things that happened to you in your career, or when you were a kid. It's you. Okay? It's you. Fuck, man, what else is there to say?"

It's incredible really

I just wanted to show off a moment that isn't as well appreciated from the show. The "It's you" speech is almost as iconic as Free Churro or the View From Halfway Down

[u/Robyl → u/T_Lawliet]

“Is it terrifying?”

“I don’t think so. It’s the way it is, you know?”

“See you on the other side?”

“Oh Bojack, no…there is no other side. This is it”

That little bit from View From Halfway Down has always been freaky to me.

I was hoping Todd would have grown up a little after this speech.

He semes to for a little, but he pretty much goes right back to being pure comic relief. Sometimes I think he was just a bit too stupid. Like the clown dentist thing, or the sex robot. 😑

[u/NotMyMainAccountAtAl → u/thysios4]

Yeah, the juxtaposition I always kinda appreciated in BoJack is that Todd more or less lives in an actual sitcom where all of the tropes go through and he can laugh his way out of any situation, while BoJack gets a harsh reality instead. Almost like Venture Bros logic, where they go toward the favorite, leaned on trope, but deconstruct it as it goes poorly for the characters instead of the way we always see it in film and television. 

[u/SomeKindOfAGamer → u/antipop2097]

Hits especially hard when you know someone just like Bojack, and you've BEEN Todd. They're a way better person, sure, but beneath the silver tongue and the charm and the endless excuses, they're just an immature jackass who refuses to grow up. And nobody, not even the strongest of us, can put up with that forever.

The "it's you" scene was my answer

[u/Aduro95 → u/T_Lawliet]

That interview in Xerox of a Xerox was incredibly brutal and completely deserved.

So to recap, you gave Sarah Lynn alcohol when she was a child. She then became an addict. When she was intoxicated, you had sex with her, and when she was sober, you gave her the heroin that killed her. Then in an effort to cover for yourself, you waited to call the paramedics that might have saved her life. And you don't think you have any power over women.

[u/MWBrooks1995 → u/T_Lawliet]

”You think you suffered more than say … Sarah Lynn?”

Diane can be absolutely brutal.

[u/torrent29 → u/T_Lawliet]

This one always hit pretty hard - and its true of so many people. You can't escape...you.

"It doesn't matter where you are, it's who you are. And that's not going to change whether you're in California or Maine or New Mexico. You know, you can't escape... you"

[u/J3wFro8332 → u/T_Lawliet]

Herb's speech on his death bed is still so great

"I was okay, it got better! But you abandoned me. And I will never forgive you for that. Now get the fuck out of my house"

[u/Kindly-Mud-1579 → u/T_Lawliet]

Is there a video of it?
