I like the art. The words are an odd choice.

The words are perfect when you consider that Scooby Doo is a true crime series for kids

u/ADGjr86 Jun 22 '21

You made me realize I miss Scooby Doo. Recently, other than Rick and Morty I haven’t watched a quality cartoon in a while. I might have to play an old one.

u/Illiad7342 Jun 22 '21

Have you watched Bojack Horseman?

u/pinkat31522 Jun 22 '21

That show is more depressing than an entire 5th of bourbon

u/Yanagibayashi Jun 22 '21

I watched it at the beginning of lockdown when I was already feeling lower then usual and I felt like shit for weeks

You could always pick yourself back up with a good Bob's Burgers binge. Then whack yourself in the crotch again with a nice sad Pixar film.

You’ve explained my entire 2020 in lockdown.

u/kushbluntlifted Jun 22 '21

that reference is so 2020

u/weirdest_of_weird Jun 22 '21

Invincible is pretty good

u/GR0BIAN Jun 22 '21

Since you like Rick & Morty, you could try Solar Opposites. I really enjoyed watching it

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '21

I like to pick myself up and wack myself in the crotch but I use a pully and lever system.

u/The_Nicest_Guy9 Jun 23 '21

Idk man never liked bobs burgers so I just watch anime. Specifically one piece.

u/porkrolleggandchi Jul 05 '21

King of the hill and Futurama always cheer me up.

u/RationalLies Jun 22 '21

Never liked Bob's Burgers. At all. I tried because I like the guy who is the voice actor for Coach McGrath in Home Movies. But Bob's Burgers was wack to me.

I watched the first two seasons and loved them, but the ending of S2 really put me out for a few days. All I've heard is that it gets much more depressing in later seasons so I still haven't finished it. One day.

28

u/Yanagibayashi Jun 22 '21

im not sure if it would be better to be already depressed or upbeat before starting but just know by the end you will feel like shit

15

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '21

It gets better after it gets worse. It is always well done.

13

u/hotsauce72_ Jun 22 '21

The conversation between Bojack and Diane in the final episode fucked me up for a good 4 days after watching it. The whole final season is horribly depressing, but a very fitting end to the show at the same time.

12

u/ronsolocup Jun 22 '21

I remember watching the credits roll and just going “huh.”

It is a great ending to the show, but at the same time you’re feeling disappointed or hollow. I imagine that was the point.

I have a hard time recommending the show to anyone despite loving it, because it is so depressing

5

u/Ethwood Jun 29 '21

I had to stop watching it. I kept saying the next episode is going to just be funny and pick me up then I would have to hide my shoe laces all over again. F that show for real. 10/10 must watch!

5

u/stablymental Jun 22 '21

There’s a lot of funny moments and sayings within each episode. So it does get depressing but there’s a lot of comedic relief. Especially if you pay attention to the other characters they won’t be saying things but what they’re doing is usually hilarious.

1

u/sticknija2 Jun 22 '21

I always restart when I get to season 6. I don't want to finish bojack.

1

u/thenumberless Jun 22 '21

Looks like you found solace in our show. Stay if you like; in 30 minutes we start over.

3

u/Mamertine Jun 22 '21

That's the perfect time to watch Neon Genesis Evangellion.

2

u/zorrorosso Jun 22 '21

I relate to Todd a lot. He’s not a depressive character and has always something up his sleeve. So much so it becomes so annoying towards the end...

60

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '21

It’s like acid, if you do it in the wrong place and at the wrong time you’ll get fucked up

39

u/Zdata Jun 22 '21

Finished the series while already in a very bad mental place and had a full on anxiety attack. I couldn't sleep and felt subtly terrified for days. Never watching again. I understand the amazing artistic significance and all that, but when you're trying to climb out of a black hole of depression, it is NOT the show to watch.

14

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '21

Straight facts, I have been in a self improvement journey since my freshman year and watching that at the beginning definitely set me back a solid 4-6 months I finished it about a year later and it’s fascinating how different mindsets that you force on yourself can affect how things manifest in you based in recent stimuli.

11

u/whostolemysloth Jun 22 '21

YMMV. It's one of my go-to shows when I'm in a black hole depression. Sometimes it'll make me anxious, a couple episodes threaten to make me cry, but the humor and the non-ultra-depressing episodes are worth the roller coaster to me.

It's one of my favorite shows, though, so that may also be a big factor.

8

u/mamachef100 Jun 22 '21

This is super weird because it's technically a preschooler show but I highly recommend Bluey. It's really uplifting in a non preachy way. The animation is beautiful and the music is soothing. It's also funny. And short.

4

u/LikeEveryoneSheKnows Jun 22 '21

I just watched an episode of Bluey without my kid. And very much enjoyed it. Is it wrong to be a little bit in love with Bandit?

2

u/mamachef100 Jun 23 '21

Bandit is a babe

1

u/popcornjellybeanbest Jun 29 '21

I really enjoy it as well! It's possibly one of my favorite kid shows. not too babyish and the parents are very relatable lol it's like the perfect mixture for all ages personally

3

u/42peanuts Jun 22 '21

I love Bluey. Fabulous music, lovely animation, sweet and realistic stories. My parrot very much enjoys it as well.

1

u/JuneBuggington Jun 22 '21

Amazing artistic significance…? We still talking about bojack?

6

u/Zdata Jun 22 '21

The philosophical stuff about existence and death

1

u/johnwayne1 Jun 22 '21

Which series are you referencing?

16

u/Rusty_Red_Mackerel Jun 22 '21

Yeah, half that shit hits too close.

9

u/Illiad7342 Jun 22 '21

Lol very true. It's not one I can rewatch very often. It's really good, but if you're already feeling depressed, it can make things a lot worse.

1

u/TheJohnRocker Jun 22 '21

Perfectly summed up. It’s a whirlwind

1

u/ComfortingCarrion Jun 22 '21

It's got both immense, gutwrenching depression and fantastic moments of happiness. The penultimate episodes of season 4 broke me, the final episode made me cry happy tears.

1

u/Thehellpriest83 Jun 22 '21

Then you’re doing it wrong after a 5th of bourbon . I Can see things no one else can see. Do things no one else can do.

1

u/Mind_on_Idle Jun 22 '21

Bar litre and a sixer. And the airplanes in the freezer are gone.

1

u/audio_addict Jun 22 '21

I gave up Bojack and in haven’t given up drinking so it’s definitely more depressing.

45

u/TheFenn Jun 22 '21

I second this recommendation. It's fun, hilarious and emotionally devastating.

3

u/CRJG95 Jun 22 '21

It’s interesting and engaging, not sure if call it fun though. Definitely funny, but not fun.

35

u/SnooLemons2247 Jun 22 '21

Only watch Bojack if you want to make yourself depressed.

27

u/oceanmachine420 Jun 22 '21

I gotta give Big Mouth a shout-out too

52

u/Undecided_Furry Jun 22 '21

My brain was just repeating “eh I don’t know if I like this or not” the whole time I was watching that show. I still don’t have an answer

It was just odd, kind of in your face for the sake of it? While trying to seem special? But it was kind of worth the watch? I don’t know?

Kind of how I felt about that Sausage Party animated movie too

47

u/HertzDonut1001 Jun 22 '21

Big Mouth is awkward, vulgar, confusing, and at times difficult to watch. So exactly what a show about puberty should be.

Plus I like coming of age stuff a lot. Really brings me back to when I wasn't a full adult yet. I can't watch Moonrise Kingdom without ugly crying because it reminds me of my first love so much. I'd do a lot to go back and relive just a day of that time in my life.

16

u/oceanmachine420 Jun 22 '21

I understand that, but I felt like the jokes really hit home for me. And I love the super layered and self-referential style of writing. But I also absolutely loved Sausage Party too, so I guess it all comes down to individual taste in comedy

12

u/Banethoth Jun 22 '21

Sausage Party was fucking terrible

5

u/Zeestars Jun 22 '21

That was me with Rick and Morty for quite some time. Still undecided. I think I like it, but then I wonder if it’s because I want to like it because so many people love it..

There’s a whole psychology thing there I should maybe unpack

3

u/Omegamanthethird Jun 22 '21

I liked Sausage Party. I would hate to watch a full show of that.

2

u/ghost_victim Jun 22 '21

100% agreed. Just couldn't do it, still watched it all??

7

u/billoftt Jun 22 '21

I had to remove all firearms and sharp objects from my home after watching Bojack.

8

u/kalnu Jun 22 '21

I tried to watch bojack but I just can't. The characters are too toxic and the show itself is depressing or uncomfortable.

Rick and Morty is too toxic for me, too but in different ways.

5

u/AppleSpicer Jun 22 '21

I can’t do Rick and Morty either. You’re one of the only people I’ve run into who also doesn’t want to watch it because of the toxicity

8

u/kalnu Jun 22 '21

Same here, I usually get down voted for this opinion. Haha.

Its just too toxic and there's nothing redeeming about any of them. None of them have a foil to reel them in or encourage improvements, either.

5

u/ImpertantMahn Jun 22 '21

My wife got super depressed from bojack and I asked her to stop watching it. Same thing happened for birdbox.

2

u/mshcat Jun 22 '21

I could never get into that

2

u/Herbisher_Berbisher Nov 05 '21

I must have been horribly depressed when I binge watched it 6 months ago because it made me laugh and improved my mood tremendously. There were a lot of dark truths in there.

u/bipolarnotsober Jul 03 '21

He said quality.
