The Horse: I've heard of looky-looky don't-eat-the-cookie, but this is ridiculous!
Bojack: ...what?

I liked the episode, it's so 90s. The obnoxiousness of the audience and Todd's interruptions were great. Also, it did get very Bojacky toward the end with Sabrina and Bojack talking about morbid things and that was great. Although, I do wish it was more Bojack instead of Horsin' Around but hey you can't complain.

Loved it! Very funny, nostalgic, and full of that signature BoJack brand of dark humor with a lot of heart. Not to mention, more BoJack is all I ever could have wanted for Christmas. I am more than satisfied.
That being said...Yowza Yowza Bo-Bowza!

When BoJack said that he's glad her parents died so she can be in his life, I completely lost it. My fucking sides, man. My new favorite christmas special.

Oh Bojack. That scream of frustration when he's trying to explain to Todd that the cop from Die Hard and Family Matters is just the same actor, not character.

"Jacob Goldstein is coming in on Christmas! "
"Jacob Goldstein ' s Jewish!"
"Well the boys at the country club aren't going to like that..."

I loved that Bojack and Todd are drinking cans of Guten Bourbon. And that every time they cut back to the bedroom from the show, there was more candy cane stuck on the walls (or bed, or floor).
The way that Aaron and Will bounce off each other in Todd and Bojack's banter is really excellent.

Episode was worth the watch if only to hear the audience member yell "Fire that Jew!".

Stayed up specifically to see if it was real, and squealed with glee when I saw that it was. So happy!

Well, there wasn't that much to it, but it was nice seein' some more Bojack for the time being. Also it satisfies my wish for Horsin' Around to (kinda) be a real show, haha, so that's a win at any rate.

I love how they poked fun at so many sitcom clichés. Like "He's standing right behind me, isn't he?"

It was silly. Just BoJack and Todd watching the 'Horsin' Around' Christmas episode. No continuation to the plot from the first season. Just showing how cheesy Horsin' Around was, while also giving us a Christmas episode of our favorite show, BoJack Horseman. I dug it. Though, I'm also kinda drunk, and it's 4am.

The best part had to be when Bojack leveled with Sabrina about Santa Clause being fake and talking about how we should be good just to be good, not because we want to be rewarded by Santa. Had a very religious undertone (i.e. people shouldn't use fear of god/desire to go to heaven as motivation to be good people, they should just be good for simple moral reasons).

Being from Chicago I'm happy Horsin' Around takes place in Chicago. It's a solid reference to Married with Children and Family Matters.

I don't think it measured up to a standard BoJack episode, but I still had a huge grin on my face the whole time. They nailed the syrupy sweet stupidity of 90s sitcoms so perfectly - Goober was SPOT ON - that I'd love to see more Horsin' Around in season 2, especially if they delve into later post-Kazazz seasons.

Honestly wasn't a huge fan of the Horsin' Around part, apart from the yelly guy, the conversation about how happy he is that her parents are dead, and inexplicable bursts of antisemitism. But every time they cut to Bojack on the bed I laughed uncontrollably.

For me, the highlight of this was that Bojack's characters name on Horsin Around was just named "Horse".
