History YMMV / BojackHorsemanS4E06StupidPieceOfShit

*** One of [=BoJack's=] negative thoughts had him fear that Beatrice will "poison [his] own daughter against him" if she leaves her alone with Hollyhock. While he meant psychologically, Beatrice would basically do it ''literally''.

** [=BoJack=] confides in Mr. Peanutbutter that he knows that Hollyhock getting attached to him is a bad thing. Every time someone becomes his friend, he messes it up and ruins their lives. Mr. Peanutbutter reassures [=BoJack=] that he's not that person anymore, and Hollyhock will be fine. It's mostly true for this season, but then Season 6 comes along and [[spoiler:Hollyhock severs ties with [=BoJack=] and changes her phone number after finding out that he left an alcohol-poisoned Maddy and a traumatized Pete at an ER entrance, as well as the whole Sarah Lynn thing]].

* TrappedByMountainLions: The sham wedding subplot is completely disconnected from the rest of the episode. A clear case of TropesAreTools since having to spend an entire episode submerged in Bojack's self-hatred would be too much to bear.

** Felicity Huffman has been apparently living in a mansion that is just under [=BoJack=]'s and to placate her for all the gross and weird shit, Mr. Peanutbutter praises her for being a "beloved television and film actress" while going with DamnedByFaintPraise for [=BoJack=]. Come 2019-20, it came out that Huffman was involved in a scandal to get her kids into accredited colleges by cheating and falsifying information. Yeah, not-so believed now.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: [=BoJack=]'s inner monologue about how much of a piece of shit he is does a spot-on job describing the thought process of someone with depression, a nagging voice in the back of your head making you question ''everything'' you do, and the payoff is enormous. And despite what he tells Hollyhock at the end, it's unfortunately not something you just outgrow.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Sure, [=BoJack=] aggravating Beatrice's dementia by throwing her CompanionCube out the window was [[WhatTheHellHero an utterly cruel thing to do]], especially once we learn why it made her freak out. However, after watching her be [[AbusiveParents a total bitch to her son]] with [[KarmaHoudini little to no retribution]] for three seasons, you kind of want him to. It ultimately works in both their favor, as is gives [=BoJack=] (and the audience) enough catharsis to not want to see her get cursed out later on.

And despite what he tells Hollyhock at the end, some people still need to work through it as adults.

** Same goes for his mother. She's senile, fragile and slowly waisting away, but she's still the woman who made Bojack's childhood a living hell, so it's not too shocking when Bojack throws her doll out the window.

* JerkassWoobie: [=BoJack=] is both extremes here. Not only does he do the single most deliberately hurtful thing in the series thus far here, but we spend the whole episode from his POV to get a clear idea of just how much of his own worst enemy he is.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Sure, Bojack aggravating Beatrice's dementia by throwing her CompanionCube out the window was an utterly cruel thing to do, especially since we now have a better idea of why she was as awful as she was. However, since she's only even been a total bitch to him and was mostly responsible for his resulting emotional instability, it's kind of cathartic to see him get the upper hand.
