History Recap / BojackHorsemanS5E03PlannedObsolescence

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Todd engages in a ZanyScheme for Yolanda's sake by pretending that he made a pass at Mindy, without having to do any actual sex. During this time, Yolanda's mother makes a pass at him, complete with pushing him onto Yolanda's bed, and Mindy tries seducing him while posing as Yolanda. Todd breaks up with Yolanda at the end, explaining they are too different and he's disappointed that the whole night could have been avoided if she had just been honest. He obviously has no idea how to address that it's actually traumatic that her mother and sister wanted a piece of him and missed his discomfort.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Bojack mistakes the set of Philbert's bedroom with his own house. This is an early instance of how messed up he would become when fully losing the thread between what's him and what's Philbert.

* [[HollywoodToneDeaf Hollywoo Tone Deaf]]: Gina's singing is a bit stilted and hesitant when trying to demonstrate her singing abilities to Flip and Princess Carolyn at Bojack's insistence, cracking when she nears the final note.
-->'''Princess Carolyn:''' ''(to Bojack)'' That was just mean, to her and to us.

* TheDitz: Turned UpToEleven with Pickles, who asks if "chicken salad is a celebrity" after [=BoJack=] says that he has a sandwich named after him. Later on, while talking with Mr. Peanutbutter, she recalls Gina's relationship advice in the ladies' room, saying that she "thinks her name was Hamburger," just because Gina happened to order a burger.

* NaughtyUnderTheTable: Mindy tries to flirt with Todd by rubbing her foot against his leg at dinner.

* PutOnABus: Todd breaks up with Yolanda, though they end the relationship on amicable terms and don't rule out seeing each other in the future. That's the last we see of Yolanda this season.

* ShoutOut: Yolanda's family name is Buenaventura, a play on two famous streets near Hollywood, Buena Vista street in Burbank and Ventura Boulevard in San Fernando (where Studio City is located).

* RealityEnsues: Todd breaks up with Yolanda, as the fact that they are asexual is the only thing the two have in common, and is not enough to support a relationship.

* ScoobyDoobyDoors: A somewhat realistic variation, as Todd goes from one door to the next to the music of Music/EdvardGrieg's ''[[Theatre/PeerGynt In the Hall of the Mountain King]]''. At one point, he even says, "Zoinks!"

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy:

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Yolanda's mother coming onto Todd, telling him to "asexualize" her, is treated as a wacky misunderstanding. If, say, Todd's father had come onto Yolanda, it'd be traumatic.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: The International Space Station is retired by being blown up. In reality, this would be considered a highly dangerous move, as to simply blow up the ISS would mean a high possibility of wreckage or debris harming cities and civilians, or other satellites. When the ISS is finally retired, it will likely be deorbited into the Pacific Ocean and burn up during re-entry.
