One Schitt's Creek Character is Surprisingly Depressing, And We Never Noticed

Yes, Schitt's Creek is a light-hearted comedy about an entitled rich family that suddenly loses everything they had and is forced to move to a small town in the middle of nowhere and deal with a totally different world. It's almost always fun to watch, but sometimes there are things that are a little too heartbreaking.

There is at least one character in the series that we would all laugh at, but in fact... wasn't he terribly depressed and in need of help all along?

Yes, we're talking about Bob: the elderly mechanic who owned a garage and spent most of the episodes trying to get over an abusive relationship.

Hilarious much, huh?

Fans are coming to realize that Bob may not have been as funny as they thought.

"I am rewatching for the millionth time and I can't get over how Bob's life is just falling apart in the background. Like not getting Christmas World was the nail in the coffin of his and Gwen's relationship," Redditor meadowbelle noted.

The way the breakup with Gwen affected Bob started in Season 1 and dragged into Season 5. At some point, Bob doesn't even seem to care what or who is around him. The line "Oh, I... I don't mind a dirty room. I hope that doesn't sound as sad as... as it feels" is simply heartbreaking (as hilarious as it is in context).

Another fan noted that even when Bob and Gwen were together, she was shown sitting closer to the minister than Bob was at his brother's funeral. Funny? Yes. Kind of sad? Also yes.

The most tragic part is that Bob never got any kind of closure when Schitt's Creek ended after its sixth season. Many fans expected his story to be wrapped up somehow, but all we know is that he has a parking space for Gwen if she decides to come back for some reason. Clearly, he can't – and won't – let her go.

Sorry if we just ruined Schitt's Creek for you.
