50 free BoJack Horseman trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
40 free BoJack Horseman trivia questions with answers. BoJack Horseman started as a pitch called 'BoJack the Depressed Talking Horse' and ended six seasons later as one of the most acclaimed shows Netflix has made. This quiz covers the whole run: the voice cast, the fake sitcom Horsin' Around, the stolen D in Hollywoo, Secretariat, Sarah Lynn's death, Vincent Adultman, Hollyhock, Todd's rock opera and his asexuality, Princess Carolyn's Ruthie, Diane's bison, and the great experimental episodes: the near-silent 'Fish Out of Water', the one-man eulogy 'Free Churro', and 'The View from Halfway Down'. Early questions are for casual viewers (who voices BoJack, what species Mr. Peanutbutter is). Later ones are for the people who rewatch: which 1979 film shaped the penultimate episode, where Rolling Stone ranked 'Fish Out of Water', and what the first season scored on Rotten Tomatoes before the critics came round. Good for a watch-party or an animation-nerd quiz night. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the series, its characters and its key episodes, and each question shows its source.
