[@unclebobo1983]

Her not watching the show completes her character.

[@johndalenino]

Uncle Bobo she's a wildcard 😭

[@melmignon2758]

Uncle Bobo character actress Margo Martindale has no time for these shenanigans.

[@JosephDeLosSantos-t3m]

Mel Mignon not to mention she’s a fugitive from law!

[@lexirosereese6951]

LITERALLY BSHAHAHA

[@judas1523]

i work full time now and have no time for anything. she probably doesnt watch it for the same reason

[@AngelofMusic04]

Esteemed Character Actress and Fugitive from the Law Margo Martindale is my favorite character.

[@valdemarakenes6222]

*former fugitive

[@crypticgh0st622]

she’s soo damnn good

[@iTeacupPanda]

SAME

[@CasyCatastrophe]

"When you get to Heaven, look up Margo Martindale! I won't be there, but my movies will!"

[@allature]

Quite possibly the most powerful line in the show LOL

[@ripelivejam]

I was dying.

[@katelynpringle5506]

Fucking iconic

[@Xxsorafan]

My favorite line of hers

[@prodJBeyaz]

the way she delivered that line was so perfect tho lmao

[@donniescorner1649]

CHARACTER ACTRESS MARGO MARTINDALE AIN'T NEED TO WATCH ANYTHING. not even herself in the role of a lifetime.

[@juliandavidquinteroferrer1916]

i read this with the most sassy voice ever

ESTEEMED character actress MARGO MARTINDALE

[@_DiJiT]

That's award winning character actress and fugitive from the law, Margo Martindale to you!

[@francisco.mrsm.22]

She already saw the entire show in her head when she prepared for the role. She's THAT good.

[@toetotipthatsabart5048]

When she finally watches it, she’s gonna be floored by how essential her character is

[@vxxiii4160]

Jokes and references aside, she seems to be an absolutely lovely person.

[@boshwackhorseperson3762]

Nice PFP

[@sleepingrosess]

ikr, I love her personality and sense of humour!!

[@brittanyb.9069]

Nice picture, spiral out! 🌀

[@Supertaldo916]

Wow, she knew nothing about the show, nor did she ever even watch it, and yet she killed it every single time and felt as genuine as could be. Talks really well about both her acting chops and the directors ability to convey what he is looking for.

[@xanderholland6086]

Because shes the best god damn character actress out there.

[@sublime3784]

I think her not know about the show makes it more authentic since he’s just being a gritty version of herself who’s distanced from all the other shenanigans.

[@smritisuresh894]

She's Esteemed Goddamn Character Actress Margo Martindale what did you expect

[@cigar_goblin4849]

None of the voice actors knew anything about the show when they started really just that it was about antro animals and it was in hollywood

[@ripelivejam]

Pretty sure that's a common situation with any acting job.

[@grahamkristensen9301]

Wait, her full name isn't Veteran Character Actress Margo Martindale?

[@evanderdornelles]

I always thought it was Beloved Character Actress Margo Martindale

[@seazonegranec]

IF ONLY SHE WASN'T SO GOOD AT ACTING

[@randymarsh5088]

The role that put her name in the households of millions of people and she hasn’t even seen it . Too perfect . She is the exact opposite of Bojack watching Horsin’ Around reruns .

[@oonadoodles]

“Margo I said no guns!”
“I thought you said no gum!”
“Yeah but you’re ALSO chewing gum”
“I’m a wild card” *pops gum balloon*
My favourite part

[@shomershabbos6291]

From time to time when i'm doing something random, that moment pops into my head and i start laughing, one of the funniest parts of the entire show

[@lynnlynne3392]

Lol I'm watching this scene right now and paused it to watch this lol

[@animelvr99]

Iconic

[@vingram100]

That woman has such range, even in this interview.

[@asymtope]

I feel like I missed out on so much comedic value by not knowing she’s a real person before watching the whole show

[@enriquev1271]

The fact that she didn’t even watch the show lol

[@billcipher147]

As others have pointed out, I like the idea that she said all of her ridiculous lines so convincingly while having absolutely 0 context and not even watching the show to find out later. They just went up to her, said "this is what we want you, playing yourself, to say" and she was like "aight" and simply went along with it without questioning it for a second.
Its just so beautifully in-character.

[@Kompatainment]

She can't watch the show. She's too busy with being such a great character actress!

[@ishagokhale3089]

She is real! 😂😂What? All this time I thought she was just a Bojack character,omg I love her ❤

[@trashtrashmoretrash8559]

same hahaha

[@mafiemafaki]

HAHAHAH Yeah me too :')

[@Serryy]

You will always find her in random movies playing a side character. Or in shows like "The Americans" playing a side character.

[@seraby7151]

She's in the real movie Secretariat 😂😂😂

[@duxnihilo]

I recognised her from Dexter.

[@v-wonderstv9525]

Feels like she’s about to breakout the glass window screaming her name

[@wyattjenkinson450]

What a legend

[@SpicyMarcoBB]

She really is pure chaotic good.

[@kylehallman8183]

And shes one of the best reoccurring characters on the show.

[@michaelhuynh4953]

Do you watch the show at all?
No.
*Pause*
I hear it's fabulous.

[@ThatGuyNicho]

She disappeared into the role.

[@henrymoonrabbit]

She’s a real person

[@henrymoonrabbit]

This is the happiest moment of my life

[@Ritokure]

Not only she's a real person, she also played a role in Secretariat, which is a real movie.

[@henrymoonrabbit]

Ritokure This Is Bojack Horseman In Real Life!!!

[@morbidsearch]

It's like finding out that Wing from South Park is a real singer and not just Trey doing a falsetto

[@marvelousmeh2077]

WTF, she's exactly as the show. Love her

[@ghostthad9155]

Esteemed Character Actress, and Top of the FBI’s “Most Wanted” List Margo Martindale?

[@cecilereyna]

She's my favorite character from the show and she plays herself... marvelous.

[@PC1974]

She was such a good sport on Bojack Horseman sending herself up. Loved her in August: Osage County too.

[@MaximumAaron]

Legendary Character Actress Margot Martindale was my favorite character in Bojack. The RANGE on that woman!

[@AE1OU]

Truly an award winning character actress.

[@UkuleleAversion]

Oh mon dieu! Is that esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale?! She really disappears into her roles.

[@giareneeble]

Ugh. I’m gonna cry. The end of an era.

[@camilogarciaylasaari1857]

The way she was roped into the show sounds like something from the actual show

[@igglye6805]

She was born to be Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale

[@damo619]

"Look me up when you get to heaven. I won't be there, but my movies will be!!" Best line hands down.

[@kris242]

I could NEVER imagine Character Actress Margot Martindale actually sitting down to watch Bojack. She's too busy trying to figure out how to literally exist in 2-dimensions to sit and watch anything ❤

[@joeschianodicola1810]

"Will, these people seem like animals."
"They are animals, you idiot!"
*"Oh, fish!"*

[@bothpartiesaretotaldogsht5750]

I'm so happy she did the show. I feel like it kind of pushed her (and Jessica Biel's) career to an (even) better place.

[@KhailSOLO]

heck. even JD Salinger posthumously, and post school 🤣

National treasure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@JackofWhitechapel]

Her appearances were my favorite part of the series. I had no idea who she was until seeing it and now i love her.

[@Dylan-zo6zo]

They misspelled the title. It’s not Margo martindale. It’s character actress Margo martindale

[@rosvel92]

They don't have TV's on prison!

[@Schmidteren]

Has she seen it yet? Briliant show.

[@TjayW12]

[@beingzombievstheworld]

I love character actress Margo Martindale.

[@crypticgh0st622]

One of the best animated tv characters

[@rosenrot234]

I get such a stupid grin on my face whenever I see Margo in tv and movies thanks to Bojack

[@Tumbledweeb]

I love Character Actress Margo Martindale!

[@Doodlebob108]

honestly, she was the best character on the show

[@callalilly4743]

A true legend.

[@Izzy-bq1rc]

Oh my god imagine if they weren't able to get beloved character actress Margo Martindale to play Beloved Character Actress Margo Martindale... I can't imagine the character without her behind the microphone. Thank God beloved character actress Margo Martindale took the role.

[@fatimapalacios2292]

Esteemed character actress Margo Matindale! how cool is being yourself and a badass in a cartoon...

[@theodenmannix4362]

I want her voice, it's badass

[@RaquelLPS]

oh wow she's such a good and talented actress

[@firechickeng.6912]

I love this woman so much.

[@mattlane4761]

Esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale has never seen BoJack Horseman?!

[@justbrowsing5279]

Margo Martindale character actress was such a nice touch in Bojack. Glad she decided to do it.

[@12DAMDO]

one of the best characters tbh

[@rrrandommman]

Character actress Margo Martindale!

[@bobtwista]

For some reason, I think its soooo perfect margo Martindale didnt even watch the show she voice acted for 😆

[@yummyapplestroodle]

I didn't know Margo was a real person :DD

[@JazzFlop212]

She is so likeable

[@bellaxskyex]

i fuckin love margo martindale. an ICON

[@jordanhull1589]

That’s our Margo.

[@sethhiggerson1341]

Literally a Reese’s as played when I clicked this and Will Arnett was the voice guy 😂

[@chiarapp]

honestly her ark is one of my favorites. it's just so funny man

[@MK_1Ultra]

I love her

[@chochootrain]

The subtle NYU bus in the background 😂😂😂

[@Morporkshortman]

She was the best part of the show.

[@nilessebek4255]

Not watching it all through the entire series is probably the only way Character Actress Margo Martindale would be able to make sense of her role.

[@skyhaard2739]

Are you saying that the very impressive and mysterious esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law character actress Margo Martindale from Bojack horseman character actress Margo Martindale haven’t watched the show?

[@esteemedyams]

Fascinating.

[@squigg7107]

I read “How Will Arnett” and expected the rest of the title to be a question

[@teacupchaos]

She was my favourite character :)

[@LiOw-Wing]

Funny thing, I was scrolling down so I only saw the top of the video and ive never seen a real picture of Margo martingale before but upon seeing the thumbnail for only a few seconds I immediately concluded that it was “character actress Margo martindale” from bojack. Props to the animators lol

[@isaacjosameovish4447]

Bojack is the best series of all time

[@MatuAndrade]

Ja, ja, ja. Yo la conocí por Bojack. Es igualita.

[@APolishPlayer]

I really there's a follow up of her😭♥️

[@APolishPlayer]

I FUCKEN FORGOT TO SAY HOPE

[@vergeljosephcasiles3648]

First time I watched her is from Hannah Montana The Movie. She I very good with Grandmother roles.

[@basedhomuraakemienjoyer9014]

[@BlahBlahWoofWoof12]

Esteemed character actress Margo Martindale is one of the best characters in the whole series

[@vikentios12]

she's a national treasure!

[@isabellalove2911]

THE FACT THAT ALL THIS TIME CHARACTER ACTRESS MARGO MARTINDALE IS AN ACTUAL PERSON AND I HAD NO IDEA IM FUCKIN DEAD

[@daddywumbo1676]

"When you get to heaven, look up character actress "Margo Martindale"! I won't be there, but my movies will!"

[@phillipsmusic3871]

Is that character actress Margo Martindale?

[@Mathee]

I hope she got around to watch the show, and that she enjoyed it

[@Rorschach87]

Its exactly like Esteemed character actress Margo Martindale to produce a nuanced performance and then just forget all about it and move on.

[@youarenowawarepodcast8896]

She really is a wild card

[@vipulrathod510]

She looks 100 percent Margo Martindale

[@gerardeugenio2626]

I was confused with the title

[@rr6619]

*HOLY SHIT SHE’S A REAL PERSON-*

[@FullMetalJacki]

Margo "Motherfucking" Martindale!

[@siphious2911]

She's probably my favorite side character

[@samuel_s.8181]

Spare me the deets, I just want the frites

[@andyblanton6570]

Im pretty sure they picked Margo Martindale partially because she was in the Secretariat movie
