SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASONS 1-6 OF BOJACK HORSEMAN
That’s Too Much, Man is possibly the saddest and darkest episode in all of BoJack Horseman. The story deals with pain, addiction, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and most importantly, BoJack’s failure as a friend and father figure to Sarah Lynn. After BoJack’s Oscar nomination is vacated, he falls deeper and deeper into his own shame spiral, one that sends him on an ill advised quest to “make amends” to the people he’s wronged. But as BoJack’s self serving adventure goes deeper, his neglect for Sarah Lynn’s insecurities, fears and demons grows larger, until it’s too late.

The fact that the night she died she had to watch her stepfather who sexually abused her take her award on her behalf and act like he cared and that he missed her, while having a mental breakdown and spiraling trying to vent with Bojack who also crossed sexual boundaries with her who act like he cared only for him to let her waste away for 17 minutes.

when you realize that sarah lynn wasnt begging to go to the planetarium because she loved the stars, she was begging to go because she was fascinated by the structure/dome.

I’d like to point out that at one point when Bojack and Sarah Lynne crash into someones play house or something, Sarah Lynne points out that it was badly built and then proceeds to show some pretty impressive understanding of the principles of engineering and architecture. This shows that her desire to be an architect wasnt simply a drug-fuelled, transitory whim, she actually really wants to do it, and she has the talent for it. Makes it way more sad for me.

@sweesbees 5 years ago (edited)

you know what’s sad? this video is shorter than the time bojack waited before he called an ambulance for sarah lynn.

Gawd. Those handwritten notes she has taped up around her mirror in her dressing room when Bojack goes to visit Sarah Lynn: "I am in charge of my own destiny", "Mega-fame does not define me." She was trying so hard to just be a person at that point, and Bojack re-enters her life and ultimately brings all the poison back up. The writing on this show is so good.

It breaks my heart that Sarah Lynn was pursued sexually by every man who was even kind of a father figure to her.

@matti.8465 5 years ago (edited)

I think the biggest show of Bojack's ego in this episode if how he completely expected Penny to still be suffering because of what he did. Bojack is so self-centered that he couldn't imagine her moving on, just like how DECADES after seeing Charlotte, he expected her to be waiting for him, like she just stayed frozen in time until Bojack searched for her.

Not “I wanted”, but “I want to he an architect”. She still had hope. Had dreams. Had a whole maybe 50 years ahead of her. And he took that all away.

@odette582 5 years ago

The title and the phrase "that's too much man" always gives me chills, Sarah Lynn died of an overdose of heroin called Bojack...... it was literally too much man

@rosaloves7 5 years ago

Also, it was the “Bojack” heroin that killed her, which is a pretty overt message that Bojack was literally the death of Sarah Lynn. I was shocked by how little concern he showed that she was taking it, considering he had seen the corpse of a killer whale who overdosed on that same heroin (and why did he even have it???)

@syrusangi8743 5 years ago

Let's not forget Bojack waited 17 minutes before he called the ambulance. 17. MINUTES. And before then, he made sure to call his phone with Sarah Lynn's for 2 minutes to create an alibi all so he wouldn't have to deal with it.
Saddest thing is that Sarah Lynn was still alive albeit barely, but she was unconscious n would've lived if Bojack hadn't been so goddam selfish

@ZoeyMontgomery-s2f 1 year ago

I just realized the posters in the background at 6:57 say "I am in charge of my own destiny" and "mega-fame does not define me!" She was trying so hard to stay postive

@channel4ripoffcompany404 5 years ago

Kristen Schaal is honestly such an underrated voice actress. She's in Gravity Falls, Bob's Burgers, BoJack Horseman and so much more and does a phenomenal job in all of these roles

@obedhernandez4533 5 years ago

Seeing how Bojack ignores and interrupts Sarah Lynn throughout the episode just makes her last statement to bojack in "the view from halfway down" make more sense.

"Nah ah ah. Bojack, this is my time"

@andrewince8824 5 years ago

It's tragic that Sara Lynn didn't die alone nor with fear yet her death was still the fault of the man she sought comfort from. She slipped away on Bojack's shoulder and he was too self-absorbed in his monologue to acknowledge her passing until he failed to get a response to his speech. Even then, it was all about his ego.

@LiminalDarling 5 years ago

Bojack having sex with Sara Lynn is one of his lowest moments and you can only fully understand how wrong that was until much later. I remember the first time I saw it that it was really bad that he was having sex with a woman he knew since she was a little girl. Like, I understood it was messed up but on a comedy show like bojack horseman seemed to be on its first episodes, you tend to go with it. Like two and a half men for example.

The more you know about Sara Lynn and her relationship with Bojack, how everyone in her life failed to care for her and her interests, then it dawns on you how messed up it truly was that he thought it was a good idea at all to have sex with her.

I dont remember the name of the episode but would you do a video on the episode where Princess Carolyn loses her baby, and imagines her great great great granddaughter talking about her in the future?

@infinitymixtapes9562 5 years ago

The fact that he could've saved her but waited 17 minutes fucking wrecks me

@KM_Gilbertson 5 years ago

Wow it took until you said it to make me realize Bojack has NEVER really apologized to Todd for all the crappy things he's done to him over the years...
More and more GOOD for Todd for being the first one to really cut him out of his life and not let him back in

Something that I think is very interesting is the wording in Sarah-lynns final words. She didn’t say she “wanted” to be a architect, she said “I wanna be a architect” as if she believed she still could’ve been after it all, and the saddest part is that she probably still could’ve been one if she truly wanted to get clean, and it clearly wasn’t just some drunken wish or whatever because of her interest in domes and the way she talked to those playhouse people, as Sarah lynns famous quote goes. “That’s too much man.”
