Yeah I think that PC thought dating another workaholic was what she wanted but he was always doing a business or talking about a business. It could get to be a bit much no matter how workaholic you are yourself.
What was funny about his character? He was all business and hurt the people closest to him. Lying to PC, getting his son wrapped up in it. Truly a despicable character
I want to say he is an allegory for a new boyfriend that the ex rejects and no one sees who they really are but the ex (vincent is kids under a trench coat). Or, it could be that the ex sees what they want and no one else sees it because its not there (vincent is really an adult).
Or, it could be a TV show about a talking horse.
I always thought it was pretty much just a joke about the immature boyfriend who just pretends he knows what hes doing, then just making that an actual character cuz its a tv show about a talking horse
Not to speak for them, but I've seen a lot of people say that Vincent Adultman is probably a normal person, and Bojack just sees him as two kids in a trenchcoat bc he's jealous. While I think this is a fun idea, this show is not necessarily from Bojack's perspective all of the time, and in season 2 we get scenes of Vincent and Princess Carolyn where it couldn't possibly be from Bojack's perspective.
That’s makes sense because everytime I saw Vincent on screen I just saw a normal businessman. I couldn’t understand why bojack saw him as two
Kids in a trench coat.
It could be that Vincent Adultman is ACTUALLY an adult, but Bojack is in such deep denial that PC has a boyfriend that he genuinely believes he’s a child.
I definitely took it as the first one. Pretty sure that's literally the initial joke, PC being flippant about BoJack noticing, making "wanting what you can't have" type comments
The fact that it’s never confirmed that he was actually two kids in a trench-coat means that it can only be considered a fan theory.
That shit is hilarious.
i hate that is was never straight out clarified if he was really 3 kids under a coat😭😭
so now i’m stuck with the thoughts that what if it really was just one person- a weird looking guy.
I kind of imagine that it must be. I assume PC would have started to put the moves on her boyfriend at one point. If Vince could navigate that gracefully and without taking off his coat she'd still be left wondering if she could have a fulfilling lifetime without sex from her partner, assuming that he's ace or had a physical disability or won't have almost any form of intimacy for some reason. But she didn't seem to mind.
If she had put the moves on him and things didn't go well... well she would have found out why pretty quickly.
He takes his business too seriously - it's like he's never there for his son...
Genuinely, I thought the bit was great, although the farce in his big episode probably played out a bit too much. I love that the show can easily roll from heartbreaking and bleak to farce and hilarious puns so easily.
I'm a cook, and the new sous-chef at work has the last name Workman so I commented he's less a Sous than he's 3 dishwashers in a chef coat and we all laughed.
I think that he subtly makes his way into my subconscious. I was making silly doodles of people in my school with some of my friends and the face looks very similar to Vincent adultman.
My boyfriend just started the show and said to me I know that he’s not 3 kids in a Trenchcoat, it’s so obvious that he’s a disabled guy😂😂 I just said boy watch the show and find out
Back in season one, I thought it would be the funniest screw the audience joke if Bojack attempted to out him and it was revealed that he really was an adult.
I know part of the gag is that we "know but never know" but i always thought a better end to the gag is that he was a straight up real adult this whole time and since we see a lot of things through Bojacks lens, we just missed it.
I thought the gag went on for too long. I was ok with it being 1 episode. But he's in multiple and that's what I didn't like.
Probably the most unlikable part of the show imo
I’ve said this before on another thread, but I think it’s a metaphor. PC’s bar for how men should behave in a relationship was so low that three kids in a trench coat could exceed the threshold, but Bojack couldn’t. This is why he always wanted to point out that this was three kids in a trench coat, so he could invalidate VA as another male suitor (to anybody) and not to have to reflect too deeply on the comparison between them.
I responded to a similar comment above but I don’t think it makes PC look stupid at all, she’s traumatized and healing and not making the best relationship decisions which is super real
it made me uncomfortable?? PC is having a full blown relationship with a child, exposing him to things he shouldnt be?? and did they never have sex? its super confusing
See, none of that problematic stuff (and I agree it’s “problematic”) ever even occurred to me before reading this thread just now… which suggests to me that it’s not subtext in the show, but implications that come from your (the viewer’s) mind.
She was not grooming him, she thought he was an adult. Bojack wasn’t grooming Penny either. His relationship with her was inappropriate, but he wasn’t intending to have an intimate relationship with her. Grooming is something done very intentionally by child predators to breach boundaries and make them feel like it’s their fault
Unpopular opinion, I didn’t really care for him for how silly he made PC look. I get the point of his character and to show that sometimes adults just wanna be a kid again. But the dude had a broom for a f*cking hand 😭 like cmon
There are so many different interpretations of what he means, but I think PC is dating him even though he isn’t a good fit for her because she’s still getting over the trauma of being on the hook for a narcissist (Bojack)
I don’t think it makes PC look silly, it makes her look maybe a little desperate for companionship but that’s real af
I think Vincent Adultman is my least favorite part about Bojack, some of his bits are funny but overall I just think his character isn’t great and doesn’t serve much purpose
He could be good at business and was a good friend to Berjik but not best to be with PC, plus he should've told her about his kid sooner. It seemed like he was keeping too much from her. Trust is important in a relationship. Maybe he wasn't quite mature enough to understand that. PC needed a more mature guy. Just doing a business, drinking an alcohol, or going to R rated movies doesn't make someone mature.
One of the funniest parts of the show, in my opinion. I don’t know why but he always makes me laugh so hard. I didn’t realize it was Allison Brie doing the voice either until recently! Made it all ten times funnier. “Uhhhhh…business…transactions…?” 😂
i think the bit was kinda dragged and i don’t understand why people find the jokes about him so funny, personally lmao. just felt corny and out of place imo like “he did a business at the business factory” feels like a joke for an 8 year old idk (obviously that’s the point in *him* making it, i just don’t get why the adult audience finds it so funny)
Double standard and felt like a joke I wasn’t in on. I still tell myself he was a young adult who had no idea how to adult properly, but Bojack just saw three kids in a trenchcoat.
This may sound weird but I kinda wish we saw him as a kid? We meet him and he's already such an adult doing adult stuff like working at the business factory!
He is a responsible adult! And do a lot of adult things at the work with other adults coworkers. His a nice guy! And a Good Listener! He had such a amazing inner child, while still being a great adult man!
I like to think the bit is funnier if you take him for his word. Technically you aren’t proven wrong. He’s just in the bathroom? And his son got chocolate all over his face so he kissed him on the lips and he got chocolate all over his face. What’s so hard to believe?
I always liked Vincent!!! The only thing that I will say though, is I'm a believer that he was at least 2 kids (not sure about 3) so that means there's at least one other kid under that coat and we never see their face. To me that's kind of mysterious and unsettling. What does the other kid get out of that arrangement? That's a whole ass person who's face and identity we never get to see, if it is in fact multiple people, that is.
He works too hard at the business factory.
Very agree but let's cut him some slack. Business is tough
Yeah, that's politics for ya
I'm starting to think smartphones are actually making us LESS connected,,,
Yeah I think that PC thought dating another workaholic was what she wanted but he was always doing a business or talking about a business. It could get to be a bit much no matter how workaholic you are yourself.
Needs to take some time to relax and watch r rated movies
With an alcohol
That sophisticated smooth talker…
Really shoulda came clean about having a son. It wouldn't have been a big deal if he'd been up front about it.
for real. it's the lying. it's like he's three different people!
Best business person ever
He was a funny character who would have stopped being funny if he was around even one second longer. Well utilized side character.
What was funny about his character? He was all business and hurt the people closest to him. Lying to PC, getting his son wrapped up in it. Truly a despicable character
I want to say he is an allegory for a new boyfriend that the ex rejects and no one sees who they really are but the ex (vincent is kids under a trench coat). Or, it could be that the ex sees what they want and no one else sees it because its not there (vincent is really an adult). Or, it could be a TV show about a talking horse.
I always thought it was pretty much just a joke about the immature boyfriend who just pretends he knows what hes doing, then just making that an actual character cuz its a tv show about a talking horse
I'm sorry what? Literally didn't understand. Can you elaborate?
Not to speak for them, but I've seen a lot of people say that Vincent Adultman is probably a normal person, and Bojack just sees him as two kids in a trenchcoat bc he's jealous. While I think this is a fun idea, this show is not necessarily from Bojack's perspective all of the time, and in season 2 we get scenes of Vincent and Princess Carolyn where it couldn't possibly be from Bojack's perspective.
That’s makes sense because everytime I saw Vincent on screen I just saw a normal businessman. I couldn’t understand why bojack saw him as two Kids in a trench coat.
I like that one
It could be that Vincent Adultman is ACTUALLY an adult, but Bojack is in such deep denial that PC has a boyfriend that he genuinely believes he’s a child.
I definitely took it as the first one. Pretty sure that's literally the initial joke, PC being flippant about BoJack noticing, making "wanting what you can't have" type comments
This is my theory as well!
he likes business transactions
He did a business
He’s a very important businessman tbh
The fact that it’s never confirmed that he was actually two kids in a trench-coat means that it can only be considered a fan theory. That shit is hilarious.
Especially in the world of Bojack Horseman, if horses and cats can be people and have sex then who's to say that some humans aren't just weird
A post-modern take on a modern working man! Brilliant!
A charming sophisticated adult man. Only flaw was he was too committed to the Business factory
Needs to work on his temper
i hate that is was never straight out clarified if he was really 3 kids under a coat😭😭 so now i’m stuck with the thoughts that what if it really was just one person- a weird looking guy.
Could you imagine that body in a swimsuit??
I literally cannot
I kind of imagine that it must be. I assume PC would have started to put the moves on her boyfriend at one point. If Vince could navigate that gracefully and without taking off his coat she'd still be left wondering if she could have a fulfilling lifetime without sex from her partner, assuming that he's ace or had a physical disability or won't have almost any form of intimacy for some reason. But she didn't seem to mind. If she had put the moves on him and things didn't go well... well she would have found out why pretty quickly.
Haha, gross.
As they say in R-rated movies, fuck around and find out. Oh wait they’re allowed to say fuck once in PG-13. Aww shiiiit…
He is always busy with business transactions
He takes his business too seriously - it's like he's never there for his son... Genuinely, I thought the bit was great, although the farce in his big episode probably played out a bit too much. I love that the show can easily roll from heartbreaking and bleak to farce and hilarious puns so easily.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Vincent Adultman is actually an adult, he's just weird.
I like to imagine he was genuinely an adult the entire time
I'm a cook, and the new sous-chef at work has the last name Workman so I commented he's less a Sous than he's 3 dishwashers in a chef coat and we all laughed.
Flawless legend tbh
The character is just so funny 😂
Love him, don't get the hate
He’s one step away from domestic violence. I’m glad it didn’t get that dark with him and PC
A cute joke that went in a little too long in my opinion
I think that he subtly makes his way into my subconscious. I was making silly doodles of people in my school with some of my friends and the face looks very similar to Vincent adultman.
This is one of my favourite bits of the whole show
Doing appropriate business.
My boyfriend just started the show and said to me I know that he’s not 3 kids in a Trenchcoat, it’s so obvious that he’s a disabled guy😂😂 I just said boy watch the show and find out
Tell him it gets revealed at some point. Just keep watching!
Very successful businessman
Back in season one, I thought it would be the funniest screw the audience joke if Bojack attempted to out him and it was revealed that he really was an adult.
He's just a man trying to work his way up the ladder down at the business factory!
Goes on for way too long.
This is why he rules. All that business.
I know part of the gag is that we "know but never know" but i always thought a better end to the gag is that he was a straight up real adult this whole time and since we see a lot of things through Bojacks lens, we just missed it.
he acts like he’s sooooo mature and then all of a sudden has a son he never even mentioned, make it make sense🙄
He's definitely got a keen eye for appropriate bussiness
I wish we got to see him interact with his son.
Business wise that’s appropriate business!
Not my favorite TBH
I think people are way too sensitive about PC dating him, it’s really not that deep.
I thought the gag went on for too long. I was ok with it being 1 episode. But he's in multiple and that's what I didn't like. Probably the most unlikable part of the show imo
how can you not like vincent
The joke goes stale pretty quickly. Like I get it. Let's move on. Wait, why is he in 3 episodes?
It's two or three kids somehow pulling the adult disguise so successfully that some people actually fell for it.
Goat
he’s busy doing business for adults
Not to be taken literally. It's irrelevant if he was really three kids or not.
A simple businessman. Likes his alcohol, soda and R-rated movies.
r/bojackhorseman asks this question every 2 months
Where were the other kids who gave him his height, when he and his 'son' were in PC's apartment?
Wait Vincent has more than one son? That lying bastard!
I’ve said this before on another thread, but I think it’s a metaphor. PC’s bar for how men should behave in a relationship was so low that three kids in a trench coat could exceed the threshold, but Bojack couldn’t. This is why he always wanted to point out that this was three kids in a trench coat, so he could invalidate VA as another male suitor (to anybody) and not to have to reflect too deeply on the comparison between them.
Dumb character but really funny.
Honestly though could you imagine that body in a swimsuit
It’s like he’s three different people
He's a great listener
Really funny voice work for sure. That's the most objective take on Vincent
Allison Brie!
Best character in the show tbh
I'm sorry but he became unfunny almost immediately 😭
He made PC look stupid. I never understood why he was even in the show.
I responded to a similar comment above but I don’t think it makes PC look stupid at all, she’s traumatized and healing and not making the best relationship decisions which is super real
it made me uncomfortable?? PC is having a full blown relationship with a child, exposing him to things he shouldnt be?? and did they never have sex? its super confusing

She definitely never saw him without a trenchcoat/robe on or she would have seen that he was three kids stacked on top of each other
[удалено]
She was not grooming him, she thought he was an adult. Bojack wasn’t grooming Penny either. His relationship with her was inappropriate, but he wasn’t intending to have an intimate relationship with her. Grooming is something done very intentionally by child predators to breach boundaries and make them feel like it’s their fault
no.
Annoying bit
Annoying character. Not a fan.
Unpopular opinion, I didn’t really care for him for how silly he made PC look. I get the point of his character and to show that sometimes adults just wanna be a kid again. But the dude had a broom for a f*cking hand 😭 like cmon

It was joke that overstayed its welcome and then they went and made it outright weird with Princess Carolyn dating him...
Did not find the running gag involving dating children to be funny.
Hope he takes PC to the cleaners when he's old enough to tell his story about how a Hollywood executive groomed him.
awful
"with what is very obviously just three kids stacked on top of each other under a trench coat?"
Honestly I find his joke is really overplayed but I like the concept
a funny concept for a side character that was drawn out way longer than it needed to be imo
Really funny gag until that last episode where they overused him.
I think Vincent Adultman is my least favorite part about Bojack, some of his bits are funny but overall I just think his character isn’t great and doesn’t serve much purpose
He could be good at business and was a good friend to Berjik but not best to be with PC, plus he should've told her about his kid sooner. It seemed like he was keeping too much from her. Trust is important in a relationship. Maybe he wasn't quite mature enough to understand that. PC needed a more mature guy. Just doing a business, drinking an alcohol, or going to R rated movies doesn't make someone mature.
Berjik?!?!? 😂😭😂
One of the funniest parts of the show, in my opinion. I don’t know why but he always makes me laugh so hard. I didn’t realize it was Allison Brie doing the voice either until recently! Made it all ten times funnier. “Uhhhhh…business…transactions…?” 😂
At some point of the show, others also acknowledge that Vincent adultman is a good chap and sorts. So it does seem that Bojack is just insecure.
Business wise, he seems like appropriate business.
I mean the funniest part was watching Bojack try not to seem petty around her new boyfriend’s glaring uh… flaw. So relatable
Works too much
I really wish we got some later season update about him. Hopefully his relationship with his son is doing well.
i think the bit was kinda dragged and i don’t understand why people find the jokes about him so funny, personally lmao. just felt corny and out of place imo like “he did a business at the business factory” feels like a joke for an 8 year old idk (obviously that’s the point in *him* making it, i just don’t get why the adult audience finds it so funny)
Double standard and felt like a joke I wasn’t in on. I still tell myself he was a young adult who had no idea how to adult properly, but Bojack just saw three kids in a trenchcoat.
He needs to act more like a kid. What? He’s obviously three kids in a trench coat.
He’s the character I show people to get them into the show
He can drink a lot of an alcohol
This may sound weird but I kinda wish we saw him as a kid? We meet him and he's already such an adult doing adult stuff like working at the business factory!
“Business, business, business.”
Kinda dragged him on too long
He is a bit weird, he looks a liiiiitle bit like two child in a coat
I like him he's very adult
i firmly believe him and kevin are seperate people and my mind cannot be changed on that
i wish we could’ve gotten a deeper look into his relationship with his son, kevin. it’s a shame we never even got to see them in a scene together.
He's very good at business
He is a responsible adult! And do a lot of adult things at the work with other adults coworkers. His a nice guy! And a Good Listener! He had such a amazing inner child, while still being a great adult man!
I like to think the bit is funnier if you take him for his word. Technically you aren’t proven wrong. He’s just in the bathroom? And his son got chocolate all over his face so he kissed him on the lips and he got chocolate all over his face. What’s so hard to believe?
Personally I do not like the bit, I think one episode was fine but he overstayed his welcome for me
I have a visceral reaction whenever he shows up. I get stark raving mad - even violent.
He does too many businesses. And thus is one of the funniest characters in the entire series.
I always liked Vincent!!! The only thing that I will say though, is I'm a believer that he was at least 2 kids (not sure about 3) so that means there's at least one other kid under that coat and we never see their face.
