Parts of Todd's backstory is revealed - He got addicted to a video game to the point his girlfriend left him and his parents kicked him out of the house.

This is depressingly common - most adults who grew up in abusive households as children tend to adopt some, if not all, characteristics of their parents. While it's clear BoJack is not as bad as his abusive parents, it doesn't change the fact that he is doing a similar abusive method they always did to him.

BoJack's verbal abuse mirrors how his parents would tear any moment they had the chance to.

So, BoJack is willing to clip his friend's wings because he can't stand being alone.

When Diane brings up why BoJack never bothered to learn anything about Todd, she asks him a question: Does he let Todd stay because he's kind or because he's afraid of being alone? Given BoJack's reaction and the ending of the episode, it's the latter.

And the clenching part is that Todd, whose already insecure, believes all of BoJack's insults are good.

For most of the beginning, BoJack is very vocal about how he thinks Todd's Rock Opera won't be a success and making insult after insult.

The whole episode really shows how toxic and abusive BoJack is to Todd.

Sarah Lynn: Yeah, it's pretty much too late for me.

Almost the entire episode is Harsher in Hindsight, but nothing more so than the following exchange:.

Sextina Aquafina carelessly saying that Sarah Lynn should just go where stars after 30 go when they lose relevance.

As Sarah Lynn puts it, with her voice breaking, he thought she wouldn't make a scene? Herb was the only positive influence in Sarah Lynn's life, but he wasn't enough. Andrew Garfield breaks up with her for the crime of turning thirty and insensitively says that he thought she wouldn't make a scene in public. The worst part is Bojack was right Carol Himmerlfarb and her husband don't love Sarah Lynn, using her as a paycheck or a warm body in the latter's case. No, the bell tolling after does not help. Sarah Lynn retains her Oh, Crap! face as the cameras start rolling again for take two. Then he whispered Anti-Advice that no one would ever love her, not even family or lovers, but she should do everything for her fans even if it kills her. She was filming a Horsin Around scene where Bojack praised her, and asked the audience to cheer her. We see Sarah Lynn's Start of Darkness.What have you been doing since the show's cancellation?Д«oJack: That's a great question, Charlie. To say nothing of this rationale, which effectively sums up his vision of reality and foreshadows his deep desire that life would work that way:Д¬harlie Rose: Well, let's talk about real life.For everyone who knows the series, BJ has a very troubled, tug-and-pull relationship with the show because of all of the backstage fiasco and consequences, especially in 'That's Too Much, Man!', but he defends it because in his mind, it's the only good thing he did. When Charlie Rose just mentions Horsin' Around, BoJack automatically defends it, expecting him to mock the show.It becomes unbearable when later episodes show it's this mental trick what eventually starts screwing him over and over.

He's just that willing to lie just for the sake of appearing happy, as if to convince everyone he's anything but a Sad Clown. The contrast between what he thinks is going on and how everyone else sees him is painfully obvious. To elaborate, BoJack shows up to the interview drunk and making a fool out of himself, yet still deluding himself into thinking he's doing great.It's sad that he had to tear so many relationships apart and get old to truly begin his clunked recovery. He had it all back then and he still felt empty enough to behave similarly: the only difference now is that he's starting to take notice of how much damage his path has caused. Gets worse in later seasons-Despite appearing at first as a well-adjusted actor who became bitter with age even back in the Horsin' days, BoJack was already a sad jerk in The '90s and he was probably even worse considering how he treated his fellow castmembers and crew, only evolving into a regretful Jerk with a Heart of Gold through experience and time.
