BoJack Horseman Why Rami Maleks Flip Is Always Eating Blue Popsicles

Here’s why Rami Malek’s Flip McVicker is spotted eating blue Popsicles throughout BoJack Horseman season 5. BoJack Horseman is a Netflix original show that arrived in 2014 and follows the title character, a washed-up, drug-addicted sitcom actor who also happens to be a talking horse. The show takes place in a world where humans and talking animals exist together, with BoJack trying to make a comeback as an actor.

Despite being genuinely hilarious, BoJack Horseman has also received praise for its tackling of addiction, depression, self-loathing and other issues. BoJack himself is voiced by Will Arnett, with Aaron Paul voicing Todd, Alison Brie playing Diane and Amy Sedaris as BoJack’s agent Princess Carolyn. The acclaim that greeted BoJack Horseman also saw many famous actors signing on to voice supporting roles, such as Hilary Swank as Joey Pogo, Bobby Cannavale as Vance Waggoner or Rami Malek as Flip McVicker.

Flip was introduced during BoJack Horseman season 4, and he’s the creator of the hardnosed cop drama Philbert, where BoJack plays the lead role. Flip is portrayed as twitchy and neurotic, with poor social skills and a tendency to claim credit, even when it’s undeserving. Rami Malek was clearly having a blast voicing the character, who throughout season 5 is spotted eating blue Popsicles.

It’s a strange background detail, but given that Flip McVicker himself is a strange dude, it goes by mostly unnoticed. That’s until BoJack Horseman’s season 5’s “Head In The Clouds,” when Princess Carolyn is confronted by Abe Ziegler, who alongside his writing partner Ziggy Abler created the many punny jokes written on Popsicle sticks. Abe shows her a clip from Philbert where one of his gags was used, and it becomes clear that Flip was eating so many blue Popsicles throughout the season so he could steal the gags written on them.

Flip naturally denies this, but Princess Carolyn makes a deal with Abe and his partner regardless to keep it quiet. BoJack Horseman season 5 proved to be the final series for Flip, as Philbert is cancelled by the end of the season. Flip’s final scene on the show even features a tribute to Rami Malek’s role on Mr. Robot, where after Princess Carolyn walks out of her office when he starts mumbling about life after Philbert, he starts to believe HE could have been Princess Carolyn the whole time. He then smears her pink lipstick on himself and declares “Oh fish!.”
