The following contains spoilers for BoJack Horseman<\/strong> S3E4, “Fish Out of Water” (written by Elijah Aron & Jordan Young and directed by Mike Hollingsworth)<\/em><\/p>\n BoJack Horseman<\/em> was always a show so permeated by visual gags I\u2019d be impressed if anyone ever catalogued them all. So it makes sense that in its third season, the series would offer an entry into the pantheon of Great TV Episodes Without Dialogue<\/a> with \u201cFish Out of Water.\u201d<\/p>\n BoJack (Will Arnett) is promoting his forthcoming Secretariat film, and he Cannes not take it to Cannes because of his past remarks about Jean-Paul Sartre, so he\u2019s off to the Pacific Ocean Film Festival, 20 leagues (or whatever it is) under the sea.<\/p>\n The central tension of \u201cFish Out of Water\u201d is set up in the limited dialogue that does occur towards the beginning of the episode. Ana Spanikopita (Angela Bassett) informs BoJack that Kelsey Jannings (Maria Bamford, though she actually doesn\u2019t talk in this episode) will also be at the festival and that spikes BoJack\u2019s anxiety to such an extent that it might be the reason he tries to get off the plane and bail on the fest.<\/p>\n Alas, it\u2019s too late. He gets tased by an electric eel flight attendant and down below we go.<\/p>\n
