Eh, this one was OK. Kind of a mixed bag. The thinly veiled Cosby references were fine, but it was pretty shallow commentary at the end of the day; more just a series of the standard talking points than anything particularly humorous or clever in the riffs on it. The bit with Todd complaining about how there were major world issues everyone was ignoring was cute, but low-hanging fruit. That said, there was a lot of funny material outside of that (Todd's prince and the pauper routine, the 90s selfie joke, BoJack trying to get attention.)
I did, however, appreciate the character work in the episode. Exploring how Dianne can hurt the people she cares about by putting high-minded principles ahead of the desires and feelings of the people close to her is an interesting tack to take, and for once I sympathized with both BoJack and Mr. Peanutbutter rather than the more level-headed Mrs. Nguyen. I'm interested to see where they go with it.
