Line #7 Recap/BojackHorsemanS1E06OurAStoryIsADStory


1	[=BoJack=] and Mister Peanutbutter fight for Diane's attention, which culminates in [=BoJack=] stealing the "D" from the Hollywood sign. Meanwhile, Todd is in prison for the previous episode's debacle. [=BoJack=] asks Mister Peanutbutter to help him hide the "D" and Todd is courted by two gangs, the Aryan Nation and the Latin Kings.
2	----
3	! "Our A-Story Is A D-Story" contains examples of:
4	* AppealToInherentNature: {{Invoked\|Trope}}. When [=BoJack=] is trying to keep Diane out of his house because he stole the "D" of the Hollywood sign and she's not buying his BlatantLies, he simply uses the excuse of not wanting her there.
5	-->'''[=BoJack=]''': See you later.\
6	'''Diane''': But we had an appointment.\
7	'''[=BoJack=]''': What's that? An actor flaking on an obligation? Welcome to Hollywood.
8	* BloodyHilarious: During Todd's lockup in prison, one fella tries to calm him down, telling him to stay with him and everything will be fine just in time to be brutally stabbed to death. Multiple times. With quite amazing skills. Todd is left a bit traumatized by the whole thing.
9	* ChekhovsGun: The helicopter Mister Peanutbutter mentions during his one-up contest ends up carrying away the Hollywood 'D'.
10	* ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun:
11	-->'''[=BoJack=]:''' How'd you figure out it was me?\
12	'''Mr. Peanutbutter:''' Oh, how did I figure it out? Well, I just followed the clues, used deduction, puzzle-solving, little bit of forensics, and also, what did I do? Oh, I ''listened to the voicemail you left me, saying you were stealing the 'D' because of Diane'', so I could, and I quote, "suck your D!"\
13	'''[=BoJack=]:''' ''[to himself]'' Stop! Leaving! Voicemails!
14	* DefconFive: Tom Jumbo-Grumbo gets this wrong while reporting on the stolen 'D', saying that "all of Tinseltown is in defcon five" when he should have said "defcon one".
15	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Todd talks with the leader of the Latin Kings during a cavity search, two similarly-positioned prisoners in the background are joyfully thumb wrestling.
16	* GrandRomanticGesture: Mister Peanutbutter (falsely) claims that he stole the 'D' to show his love for Diane.
17	* ItMakesSenseInContext: Virtually everything that happens in this episode.
18	* LiteralMetaphor: [=BoJack=] calls Mr. Peanutbutter a ''literal son of a bitch'', as he's an actual dog seen as a {{Jerkass}}, after taking credit for the "D" theft as a GrandRomanticGesture for Diane.
19	* LoveTriangle: One erupts in the episode as [=BoJack=] has apparently fallen for Diane too. Mr. Peanutbutter, who up until now has shown nothing but a blissful, oblivious personality, [[CloudCuckooLander not even minding Diane's ex-boyfriend Wayne making a pass at her]], gets ''really'' bothered by [=BoJack=] and Diane's sudden chumminess with each other and aggressively responds to all of [=BoJack=]'s 'challenges'.
20	* MonumentalTheft: Of the 'D' from the Hollywood sign.
21	* MundaneMadeAwesome: Music/{{Beyonce}} tripping on $1 bills is enough to cause a national emergency and is enough of a distraction to give Mister Peanutbutter enough time to fly away with the 'D'
22	* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The 'D' is destroyed at the end of this episode, permanently changing Hollywood's name to "Hollywoo" from here on out.
23	* TakeThat: While investigating the theft of the 'D', the police consider Creator/DaneCook to be one of their prime suspects, because he's already known to be a thief.[[note]]For those not in the know, Dane Cook is notorious for lifting several routines wholesale from other comedians, to the point that he's ''hated'' within the standup comedy world. It's safe to assume that this line was a specific case of WriterOnBoard.[[/note]]
24	* TemptingFate: The pilot of the helicopter carrying the 'D' calls his assignment a "cushy job"... right before getting shot down by one of Mister Peanutbutter's celebratory fireworks.
25	* TooDumbToLive: The helicopter pilot returning the "D" to the Hollywood sign decided to fly during and ''through'' a fireworks display.
26	* TwoTimerDate: Todd is being courted by both the Aryan Nation and the Latin Kings. Trying to play out this trope starts a prison riot.
27	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In an effort to distract citizens from the helicopter bringing the 'D' back to the Hollywood sign, [=BoJack=] begins throwing a wad of dollar bills into the street. Of course, because they're only $1 bills, nobody cares. Beyoncé tripping on said bills, however...
28	** On Todd's first day of prison, the NiceGuy standing in front of him in line at the cafeteria gets brutally stabbed, and, barring Todd himself, nobody reacts to the stabbing with anything more than apathy. Even the cafeteria staff.
29	* WeNeedADistraction: ...to distract the public from the helicopter carrying the giant 'D'.
