- Quotes
BoJack Horseman: Hey, buddy.
Herb Kazzaz: You come back for that vitamix, you...
[coughs]
BoJack Horseman: Ooh, you should get that look at.
Herb Kazzaz: Ha, yeah. I've been meaning to see a doctor.
BoJack Horseman: Hey, I wanted to talk to you about... You know, I... feel bad, about what happened.
Herb Kazzaz: So, you're apologizing.
BoJack Horseman: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Herb Kazzaz: Okay, I don't forgive you.
BoJack Horseman: Herb, I said I'm sorry.
Herb Kazzaz: Yeah, and I do not forgive you.
BoJack Horseman: Uugh! Not sure you get what's happening here. This could be the last time...
Herb Kazzaz: No, I'm not going to give you closure. You don't get that.
[coughs]
Herb Kazzaz: You have to live the shitty thing, you did, for the rest of your life. You have to know that it's never ever going to be okay.
BoJack Horseman: I really think that we'd both feel better if we...
Herb Kazzaz: I'm dying. I'm not gonna feel better. And I'm not gonna be your prop so you can feel better.
[coughs]
BoJack Horseman: You have to believe me, I did everything I could.
Herb Kazzaz: Yeah, then why didn't you call me? Huh? Twenty years you didn't call me.
BoJack Horseman: Look, I-I-I wanted to, but I didn't thin...
Herb Kazzaz: You know what it was like for me? I had nobody, everybody left. I knew all those showbiz phonies would turn on me, sure, but you?
BoJack Horseman: It's not my fault you got fired.
Herb Kazzaz: I don't care about the job! I did fine, I had a good life. But what I needed then was a friend, and you abandoned me, and I will never forgive you for that. Now get the fuck out of my house!
BoJack Horseman: I...
[sighs]
BoJack Horseman: [walks out of Herb's room, pokes his head for a second]
BoJack Horseman: Yeah, this is a dumb question, but the gay thing and rectal cancer thing aren't related, are they?
Herb Kazzaz: GET OUT OF HERE!
BoJack Horseman: Never mind, stupid question. Forget I brought it up.

Performed by Grouplove
The first part of this season is a slightly above-average absurdist animated comedy like "Family Guy" or "Regular Show." The issue is that it's neither as funny as peak-Family Guy nor sd successfully absurd as "Regular Show." It feels like it's lost in some purgatory of lost identity; as if it doesn't know what it wants to be.
Luckily, this episode proudly declares what "Bojack Horseman" is going to be. The drama that makes up the meat of the show is present, yet it is still spaced with its absurdist comedy.
This is why I consider "The Telescope" the TRUE pilot of the show. It is the first episode that sticks to the style of the rest of the show and forecasts what is coming. This isn't yet another family guy clone like "Paradise PD." This is "Bojack Horseman."
