History Recap / BojackHorsemanS2E8LetsFindOut

* LongTitle: ''Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities! What Do They Know? Do They Know Things?? Let's Find Out!''

* ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun: Mr. Peanutbutter explains that this is how he found out that [=BoJack=] had kissed Diane--there were roadside cameras along the highway, he had some friends in the highway patrol who might have watched, and, being his wife, she '''told him'''.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: While [=BoJack=] deliberately misremembering who starred in the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' movies and letting millions of dollars intended for charity is beyond petty, considering what a relentless {{Jerkass}} Creator/DanielRadcliffe has been to him all episode and how much {{Troll}}ing he's endured, it can hard not to blame him, or feel darkly satisfying.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Creator/DanielRadcliffe constantly mispronounces Bojack's name, calling him "Creator/ChadwickBoseman" or "Jock-jack Door-slam". This bites him in the ass later. Though it can also be MaliciousMisnaming since he remembers everyone ''but'' [=BoJack=].

* AnticipatoryBreathSpray: Done by Mr. Peanutbutter just before kissing Bojack.

* AudienceSurrogate: When not being a jerk, Bojack can raise some good points about the logic of the game, especially since it often includes [[MoonLogicPuzzle Moon Logic Puzzles]], rigged competition and biased audience, making him some sort of an InUniverse MetaGuy.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Her personality notwithstanding, being a person who woke up from a 30-year-old coma, Wanda is still a network TV executive. This side of her bares its fangs (or, in her case, talons) when she responds to Mr. Peanutbutter's hesitation to patch things up with [=BoJack=], shortly after their all-too-real confrontation centering the dog's wife and Bojack's ghostwriter, Diane.

* BigDamnKiss: A variant occurs between Bojack and Mr Peanutbutter.
* ButtMonkey: Deconstructed. The climax of this episode is a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech directed at Bojack from Mr. Peanutbutter, bluntly telling him that Bojack has been mistreating him for years despite efforts to be friendly.

* CueTheRain: Happens midway through the episode. [[LiteralMetaphor Literally]], not only as a staged decision of the people at control, but also as a meta sign that things are going to get serious between Mr. Peanutbutter and Bojack.
* DesignatedMonkey: InUniverse, this is how Bojack's treated through the episode, with most of the difficult tasks being given to him while big star Radcliffe is left with the easy ones. {{Invoked}} and {{Justified}} since it's clear that Radcliffe's the audience favorite and the game has been rigged to allow him an easy victory.

* TheDogBitesBack: Almost literally. Mr. Peanutbutter finally confronts Bojack about what a dick he's been to him, all these years.

** [[LaserGuidedKarma While part of him had it coming for what he had done to Mr. Peanutbutter]], Bojack endures quite a lot of [[HumiliationConga humiliation]] in this episode. Then the game turned on his favor and, well, see below.
* DownerEnding: Out of pure spite that Daniel Radcliffe didn't remember his name, Bojack deliberately answers the million-dollar question wrong. The giant bag of money—which was supposed to be for '''charity'''—is set on fire. Cue credits. It's [[PlayedForLaughs played for]] [[BlackComedy dark]] [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]], though.
* DramaticDrop: Wanda drops her tablet when Bojack throws the game.

** Princess Carolyn, while not as bad, easily berates Bojack for his performance in the game show so far, while Bojack is clearly trying his best.

** [[SpeakOfTheDevil Speaking of]] Creator/DanielRadcliffe, his AdamWesting here makes him a rather unsympathetic douche who not only has the stack and the game on his side, but also disrespects Bojack, not even bothering to remember his name despite having met before!!
** Bojack, for the most part, avoids it in this episode, aside from some moments here and there, like insulting Mr. Peanutbutter over Diane leaving for Cordovia because she was tired of their marriage or briefly engaging on some UnsportsmanlikeGloating when he finally reaches Radcliffe in term of points. Making up for it, he provides the biggest dick move of all: get even with Daniel by failing the question on ''Literature/HarryPotter'' and losing, causing the money destined for charity to be burned, per the game's rules.

* KissingDiscretionShot: The (out-of-universe) audience's vision of Bojack's and Mr. Peanutbutter's kiss is obscured by J.D. Salinger's head. Hilariously subverted a little later when he moves and a brief glimpse of them making out is seen.

* MetaFiction: While ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' is no stranger to this trope, this episode is full of it, due to this being an episode poking fun at the harebrained concepts of a game show, with Mr. Peanutbutter as the LargeHamAnnouncer and Bojack as the hapless contestant and AudienceSurrogate who [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the sheer insanity of the show's tests. It also works as one for itself, since there are common references and meta jokes about the making and behind-the-scenes of a show with Creator/JDSalinger and crew playing the demented creators and writers controlling the audience to their whim.

* TheRival: Understanding Bojack's TakeThat to Daniel Radcliffe when answering the final question is dependent on the viewer knowing about the fake rivalry in real life between the latter and Creator/ElijahWood.
* SealedWithAKiss: This is what helps Bojack and Mr. Peanutbutter even the score, so that they can move past Bojack's betrayal and be friends again.

* TheAnnouncer: Mr. Peanutbutter, cracking up the [[LargeHam ham]] UpToEleven.

* BerserkButton: Bojack's outburst comes after being forced to throw a Secretariat question and Mr. Peanutbutter going a little too far with the pointed ribbing.

* ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun: Mr. Peanutbutter explains that this is how he found out that [=BoJack=] had kissed Diane--there were roadside cameras along the highway, he had some friends in the highway patrol, and she '''told him'''.

* TheReveal: Mr. Peanutbutter reveals to [=BoJack=] that he knows about the horse kissing his wife back in "The Telescope". While this was the last straw, it turns out Mr. Peanutbutter as been upset with [=BoJack=] turning down his friendship for a good long while.

* GreyAndGreyMorality: No one comes off looking well this episode. Mr. Peanutbutter grabs the JerkassBall ''hard'' with his "playful ribbing" as a games how host, Creator/DanielRadcliffe is a condescending "too important to remember you" celebrity to [=BoJack=], and [=BoJack=] crosses the line insulting Mr. Peanutbutter about Diane going to Cordovia and burning a million dollars intended for charity just to spite Creator/DanielRadcliffe for forgetting his name. Meanwhile, Todd competes for a pen he doesn't even want to spite Mia the apprentice who's been working hard for such recognition for her chosen career for years (going so far as to trick her into giving him the pen by feigning sadness only to engage in UnsportsmanlikeGloating), although Mia started it by being a complete bitch to him first. Even Wanda couldn't give a hoot about how much humiliation and abuse [=BoJack=] faces on national television so long as he gets her good ratings.

* FailureGambit: Bojack deliberately answers wrong the last question about ''Literature/HarryPotter'' to piss off Daniel Radcliffe and make him lose the money he had gained. Too bad it was for charity.

* GreenEyedMonster: As it turns out, Bojack's this towards Mr. Peanutbutter, since the Labrador was BornWinner while he's a sad sack BornUnlucky.

* SealedWithAKiss: Friendship edition...[[HoYay ma]][[FoeYay ybe]]: this is what helps Bojack and Mr. Peanutbutter even the score, so that they can move past Bojack's betrayal and be friends again.

* TheReveal: Mr. Peanutbutter reveals to [=BoJack=] that he knows about the horse kissing his wife back in "The Telescope. How did he know? Because of the surveillance cameras, social media, and, above all else, she ''told him''. While this was the last straw, it turns out Mr. Peanutbutter as been upset with [=BoJack=] turning down his friendship for a good while.
