BoJack Horseman (2014-2020)

No actual nudity, some small glimpses of painting that have naked animals on them

Some sex scenes and lots of sex jokes but no nudity besides some brief male rear nudity

Since the world of 'BoJack Horseman' consists of human beings living intermittently with anthropomorphic animals, there is a natural relationship that coexists between species. This can lead to human-animal, or different-animal intimacy. This is considered normalcy in the show, but may prove awkward to some viewers.

Even though many of these scenes depicting intercourse are played for dark humor, they portray BoJack's character (Will Arnett) as being one with intimacy problems and a strong egotistical background that prevents him from achieving orgasm normally, and also indirectly shows the tragic sexual lifestyles that many Hollywood celebrities face, at times to allow them to escape their bigger problems.

Apart from the brief sexual scenes, there are, at times crude, verbal sexual references throughout the series, played mostly for comedy. References include human & animal intercourse and human & animal genitalia. This can range from passing remarks about how different animals have sex, to various strange reproductive patterns and systems of the characters in the show, to the sexual addictions themselves.

In flashbacks, BoJack (Will Arnett) reminisces about his abusive relationship with his mother, who is implied to have become her character due to her past with abusive men.

There is nudity in this series, but are only usually encased in paintings in the background of various scenes, and only encompass animals. This usually ranges from completely nude imagery with upper female body nudity depicted and genitalia obscured, but occasionally also shows full side profile nudity. One exception is a statuette outside a restaurant that serves as a set piece throughout many episodes, where a naked elephant granite statue has water shooting out of it's 'penis' into a granite seal statue's 'mouth'.

There are sexual scenes in this season, mostly played for dark humor.

BoJack has sexual intercourse with his agent in one episode. Thrusting movements are depicted clearly by BoJack, and he is shown climaxing in this scene after he fantasizes about his alternate reality lifestyle. His agent remarks that he is 'not even inside [her]' at one point. It is strongly verbally implied that his agent does not climax as well.

BoJack is seen thrusting on top of an unknown character and then moaning. We then see him turn over on his back, satisfied, with no one on the bed with him, implying he was fantasizing sex. Played for dark comedy.

Another sexual scene occurs as part of a montage when BoJack celebrates a minor success in revitalising his career. Thrusting movements are briefly depicted as BoJack has his back turned toward the shot and his partner is not seen.

BoJack's childhood co-star is strongly implied to have been raised to treat the world she lives in with casual indifference, and to serve her fans and the paparazzi with as much effort as possible. This is emphasized when she is shown in the modern world in a music video where she poses suggestively in revealing clothing with other women, to cater to publicity and her own relevance in the current world.

A stronger reference is when BoJack Horseman (Will Arnett) is surprised at the fact that his agent and golden retriever friend (past rival) are in a relationship. He asks them whether they have had sex, and his friend says 'Many times.'

Another strong reference is when a bird makes a passing remark regarding 'who do I have to blow to get some seed around here'.

Bojack (Will Arnett) is depicted nude briefly in one episode where full rear nudity is depicted.

One of BoJack's friends befriends two carefree girls who are also running from the police who dress skimpily.

BoJack's (Will Arnett) agent develops an intimate relationship with a tall stranger later in this season, which is actually three children on top of one another in a trench-coat. This is played as mild humor.

[Season 2]

There are some mild sexual scenes in this season.

Aside from the sexually mature implications in this season, there are also a large variety of verbal sexual references, at times in detail.

The acts are never depicted or voiced, as they are cut off mysteriously by other characters talking. This, in of itself, is played for humor.

BoJack has sex with a female friend who used to be his childhood co-star. It is first depicted after one of them is intoxicated and possibly on drugs, then they proceed to take blankets and have sex off-screen. Sexy moans are depicted in this scene. BoJack's friend becomes anxious about the situation that unfolds beneath him, before he is grabbed under, implying a threesome. Post-coitus, his friend complains about how he was 'stuck up there for two minutes'. Two bird reporters are depicted to have taken pictures of both characters mid-intercourse, and threaten to blackmail him and his agent. afterwards. The pictures are shown briefly, with both characters assuming sexual positions, but graphic nudity/details are not seen. All the sex is offscreen.

BoJack kisses and rubs Naomi Watts in one scene, where at one point they make out on a counter, as Naomi aims to get into her character of BoJack's ghost writer as much as possible as they are filming a movie about an incident surrounding them. They later have implied sex to get 'into character'. This is played for comedy.

One of BoJack's (Will Arnett) long-time friends, who he had back-stabbed and left cold for 16 years, is depicted with his career ruined after he is exposed as a homosexual. Earlier in the season, as a flashback, he kisses BoJack as a sign of his hope for future success but both then uncomfortably remark that it was not intimate. A protester shouts at one point on a news screen regarding Hollywood execs (specifically BoJack's friend) lead 'flamboyant lifestyles'.

BoJack Horseman ends his relationship with his agent after a dinner showing his uncaring and insecurity disappoints her, and that he under-performs when being intimate with her. BoJack tries, at one point, to get back with her later in the season with new enthusiasm, but then comes to the realization that he was just personifying himself, and leaves her abruptly, with both being unhappy. It is referenced that they have had an on-and-off relationship before the start of the series, thus implying passive sexual experiences between both characters.

BoJack (Will Arnett) temporarily falls in love with his ghost writer, who was engaged to his golden retriever friend at the time. They kiss intimately briefly at one point, but they do not bring it up until Season 2 where BoJack and his friend conflict on a talk show.

BoJack's (Will Arnett) golden retriever friend remarks at one point that he has divorced twice, and BoJack's ghost writer becomes his third wife later in the season.

The most disturbing scene of intimacy in this season is when BoJack drives to New Mexico to visit a long-lost friend who played stage comedy with him, who has now raised a family. BoJack develops a strong relationship with the family for two months, before he opts, at one point, to drive her daughter to her first prom. When they leave early, her daughter develops a strong intimate reaction to BoJack as they bond together. When they arrive home, she tells him verbally that she is ready to have sexual intercourse with him in graphic detail, he then tells her she does not know what she is doing and rejects her, she cries and then leaves. Later, as BoJack and his long-lost friend bond, they kiss intimately and BoJack remarks to her how he wants them to run away like he fantasized in the previous season before she rejects him like how he rejected her daughter. However, BoJack and her daughter prepare to engage in sexual intercourse anyway and they are heard fumbling around. BoJack's friend then barges in and finds her daughter about to undo BoJack's bow tie and position herself. Her daughter remarks that they 'didn't even do anything' before crying and leaving.

One episode particularly deals with auto-erotic asphyxiation as the main theme, when BoJack's golden retriever friend discovers his dead agent hanging by a belt from the ceiling with his pants down while he seeks a new job, strongly implying he was in the middle of asphyxiating himself when he hung himself. Later, one of BoJack's co-stars remarks how he used to commit to auto-erotic asphyxiation, and uses a variety of terms. He brings BoJack his 'kit' that he used to use and describes, in detail, the contents in the kit, especially how a lemon allows him to achieve orgasm but prevents his chances of dying, and asks BoJack to keep it for him. He is later found in the episode also dead after attempting to commit the act. Both scenes show the characters offscreen, but hanging with their pants down. BoJack also attempts this himself to indirectly force his current girlfriend to say that she does love him, after earlier in the episode, when they indirectly wrongfully reference that they are not in a committed relationship.

A notable scene involves BoJack becoming intimate with an owl executive who had woken up from a coma of 30 years. He instantly falls in love with her as he is also mentally trapped in his 30 year-old self and they talk to each other the entire night, before BoJack remarks that it's morning and they've not had sex. She then remarks that 'It's not too late'. Both characters are then shown post-coitus in bed. She later develops a romantic attraction to a KGB sleeper agent before leaving him at the end of the episode. She leaves BoJack anyway close to the end of the season when he reveals himself to be uncaring to the people around him and depressingly negative the majority of the time.

For example, in one episode, a hippopotamus character is strongly implied to have committed disturbing sexual acts to younger women over the course of a couple of decades. BoJack's film consultant and post-ghost writer tries to expose his acts of deviancy but in the end rejects her pursuit of him when she realizes this is all for the sake of her getting attention and being subconsciously pleased about it, and even if she did successfully do it, it would not affect his character too badly and is all for the sake of television and publicity.

BoJack's agent develops a romantic interest with another agent situated one floor below her and they are shown kissing passionately briefly in an elevator before the doors close. Later, she asks him to close the door in her office before they start kissing and expositioning as they start taking their clothes off and prepare to engage in sex. BoJack's golden retriever friend interrupts their scene of intimacy and they pretend it had never happened.

BoJack's (Will Arnett) golden retriever friend is revealed to have an abusive marriage with one of his wives, shown indirectly in a flashback.

BoJack's agent leaves her romantic interest, who is actually three boys stacked on top of one another, in an episode early in this season after she 'discovers he has a kid' and she decides she is not willing to commit to what she believes is a man who has raised a family.
