I mean, do I really need to break this down? Bojack writers went after the biggest scandal of one of the most beloved family comedy stars of the 80's without breaking a sweat. They also perfectly captured why it's so hard for survivors to come forward about sexual assault and how it's even harder to take a stand against predators.

Everyone who lives in LA, New York, or Chicago knows that where you take improv class is very important. People who get involved in one improv group usually speak ill of all the others. They also spend a lot of time promoting their improv group, spend a lot of their free time and money participating, and spend even more time working up the levels of their improv studio. This truly proves Bojack Horseman’s point that improv is indeed a CULT!
