* BadassBeard: Only in flashbacks. In the present, he has little to no hair at all.

* UnfortunateNames: It's odd how one of his parents has the last name ''Hitler'', given its ties to one such person.

->'''Played by:''' Maria Bamford

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Bradley is so interested in a ''Horsin' Around'' spin-off, he suffers this ''twice''. The first time, he insists [=BoJack=] about working on it, but he wasn't exactly interested. When they finally go through with it, [[spoiler: [=BoJack=] bails after going through a traumatic experience mid-recording, pretty much endangering the show.]]

* AndZoidberg: Always left out of any ''Horsin' Around'' meeting.

* AHouseDivided: As the years passed and the program stayed on the air, tensions and rivalries started tearing up the cast of ''Horsin' Around'', not the least of which where the [[SiblingRivalry increasing antagonism between]] Joelle Clarke and Sarah Lynn over the latter's SpotlightStealingSquad focus her character was having over the former's, Bojack's [[TheCasanova rampant womanizing]] and [[KickTheDog mistreatment of his fellow cast members]], [[spoiler: to the point of [[IBangedYourMom sleeping with Bradley's mother]] and not remembering about later, despite causing Bradley's parents to divorce]]. With [[TeamDad Herb]]'s outing and exit of the show, things [[FromBadToWorse only got worse]]. [[spoiler: In the present day, they barely have any contact.]]

* IBangedYourMom: The reason why his parents divorced was because [=BoJack=] slept with his mom. When Bradley casually confronts him about it, he doesn't remember [[ButForMeItWasTuesday how did his mother looked.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: She makes [[spoiler:a successful superhero film on ''her'' terms with a realistic and inspiring lead character. What's more, she hires Bojack's ex Gina to play said lead and the movie is a hit, ensuring both of their careers are rebuilt]].

* PrimaDonnaDirector: As the creator, writer, and director of ''Philbert'', he wants the show to be made exactly according to his ever-changing whims, it's either his way or the highway. So unsurprisingly, Flip gets along very terribly with ThePrimaDonna actor Bojack.

This page covers actors and crew members involved in producing various [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe works of film and television]] in ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'', all of which happen to star [[Characters/BojackHorsemanMainCharacters BoJack Horseman himself]] in every leading role.

* CorruptTheCutie: Before entering the show business, the cast was formed by caring, normal people who just wanted to make a show and have fun doing it, with the kids being innocent to the sordid business going backstage and Bojack being an actual NiceGuy, all together similar to a family. [[spoiler: Flashforward 20 years later and all of them, save for [[TheOneWhoMadeItOut Bradley]] and Herb, are attention-starving, selfish and pathetic washouts without any sign improving in the near future.]]

** Bojack was TheLancer, with a touch of HeterosexualLifePartners with Herb.

[=BoJack's=] old partner in comedy. He created and wrote ''JustForFun/HorsinAround'' which boosted Bojack to his '90s fame.

* KnightOfCerebus: While the series started out as a comedy with some dramatic moments, Herb Kazzaz was what started the show's transition into a dramedy that deconstructed television tropes and dealt with issues such as existentialism and mental illness. While not a villain per say, his refusal to forgive [=BoJack=] for stabbing him in the back all those years ago, even as he's dying of cancer, as well as calling him out on his behavior, was undoubtedly the heaviest the show had gotten at the time. And to make matters worse, this was their last interaction before Kazzaz died. Despite having passed away by Season 2, the encounter would stick with Bojack throughout the series and kick start his CharacterDevelopment, as well as his doubt as to if he's a good person; leading to even more depressing and devastating storylines along the way.

->'''Played by:''' [[Series/TheWonderYears Fred Savage]]

* AmbiguouslyJewish: He uses YiddishAsASecondLanguage, and has a clearly Jewish-sounding name. At the same time when Bojack asks him if he's actually Jewish, Turtletaub deflects and ends his sentence with shifty eyes before making sure to add on a bunch of Yiddish sounding words including "Haffenreffer Incorporated".

* DodgyToupee: A very obvious one. Pointed out by Bojack in the first episode.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Lenny Turtletaub first appears in the restaurant where Princess Carolyn and Bojack are dining with two women, as his status as a top producer becomes evident and his attitude of showing off his wealth. Princess Carolyn mentions him, as [[VillainousFriendship they know each other]].

* IWarnedYou: [[spoiler: He '''''told''''' both Bojack and Kelsey not to film that scene with Secretariat and Nixon. They should have listened.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: His firing of Kelsey as director was cold but justified. Turtletaub was the higher up and he had turned down the possibility to shoot the scene, only for Kelsey and Bojack to go and film it behind his back. There were no arguments they could have made.]]
* ALadyOnEachArm: His first appearance involves him chatting with two attractive ladies on the other side of Elefante, with each on both sides. Given his fame for being a producer, it's also [[ImpliedTrope implied]] that there may be a CastingCouch involved.

* OscarBait: [[spoiler: His involvement turns the Secretariat biopic into this. He lampshades it by telling Bojack that his performance might make Daniel Day Lewis look like shit.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: Bojack and Kelsey hoped he could be convinced to allow the scene with Secretariat and Nixon to stay in the final cut. He '''wasn't''' pleased when Kelsey showed him the scene and fired her on the spot.]]

* ArtisticLicenseFilmProduction: {{Discussed}} by her. In the case below in YouJustRuinedTheShot, it's less because she doesn't want anyone to allow their private lives to have some air, but because it shouldn't interfere when doing a take, especially not in the middle of one, since it means redoing it. The fact that no one seems to consider this causes her no end of frustration.

* DoingItForTheArt: An [[InUniverse in-universe]] example. [[spoiler: Bojack convinces her to film a scene vetoed by Turtletaub between Secretariat and Nixon because of its relevance to the overall arc and tragedy of the character, as opposed to a lighter and safe approach required from the studio. It gets her fired.]]

[[folder:'''Bojack Horseman''' (as John Philbert)]]

* {{Narcissist}}: He really enjoys the authority and attribution that comes with being the creator and showrunner of ''Philbert'', and while threatening Bojack to follow everything his contract tells him to do or else, [[AGodAmI he even calls himself "God"]]. Also, Flip couldn't give a damn about any suggestions that Bojack or Diane give him, unless they can convince him that their ideas are something he himself thought of.

!!''{{JustForFun/Secretariat|Biopic}}''

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler: Bojack and Kelsey hoped he could be convinced to allow the scene with Secretariat and Nixon to stay in the final cut. He '''wasn't''' pleased when Kelsey showed him the scene and fired her on the spot.]]

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler: [=BoJack=] and Kelsey hoped Lenny Turtletaub could be convinced to allow the scene with Secretariat and Nixon to stay in the final cut. He '''wasn't''' pleased when Kelsey showed him the scene and fired her on the spot.]]

* RealityEnsues: Turns out that calling someone's work "a piece of shit" is unlikely to end well, no matter how laid back and seemingly self-aware the person is.

* UnfortunateName: In interviews, the creative team said the idea of someone with the name Hitler marrying someone and then actively choosing to not only keep their name, but add to it and then give it to their child who would then go on to have an acting career was too hilarious not to include in the show.

* CorruptTheCutie: Before entering the show business, the cast was formed by caring, normal people who just wanted to make a show and have fun doing it, with the kids being innocent to the sordid business going backstage and Bojack being an actual NiceGuy, all together similar to a family. [[spoiler: Flashforward 20 years later and all of them, save for [[TheOneWhoMadeItOut Bradley]] and [[AuthorExistenceFailure Herb]], are attention-starving, selfish and pathetic washouts without any sign improving in the near future.]]

* AllForNothing: See ShootTheShaggyDog below.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: So far, Herb and Sarah Lynn have been the only two to have died out of the original cast. Three remain as of the end of season 3.]]

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: So far, Herb and Sarah Lynn have been the only two to have died out of the original cast. Three remain as of the end of season 3.]]

* CharacterDeath: He ends crashing into a truck loaded with peanuts just mere minutes after being informed that he no longer has cancer. Talk about DeathByIrony.

* VillainousFriendship: With [[Characters/BojackHorsemanMainCharacters Princess Carolyn]], one of the top agents in [[Characters/BojackHorsemanVigorAgency Vigor]]. It's hinted by their interactions and banter that they go way back.

* {{Foil}}: To [[Characters/BojackHorsemanMBNNetwork Pinky Penguin]]. Kelsey and Pinky are competent, reliable to do as they're told and are breathing {{Butt Monkey}}s whose lives worsen during the series' run. The main difference is their personalities: Pinky is a NervousWreck who's bad luck has taken a toll in his sanity and confidence, always devolving into a blubbering mess when things go wrong; Kelsey suffers just as much, but prefers to hide it and try to keep a calm façade, even if she still has a tendency to have a fury meltdown when reaching her breaking point.

* VillainousFriendship: With [[Characters/BojackHorsemanPrincessCarolyn Princess Carolyn]], one of the top agents in [[Characters/BojackHorsemanVigorAgency Vigor]]. It's hinted by their interactions and banter that they go way back.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: His voice actor Rami Malek is nothing like him in real life and is more sweet, down to earth and humble.

* BigSisterInstinct: How Joelle would feel and act in her relationship with Sarah Lynn in the early days of ''JustForFun/HorsinAround''. Then, the years passed and Sarah Lynn took away the attention...

* GreenEyedMonster: Her dismissive attitude towards Sarah Lynn can be seen as pettiness over her popularity during ''H.A.'' 's heyday.

** Even as Herb was kicked out, he still kept in touch with everyone (except [=BoJack=]). As years went on, however, Herb's old fashioned values crashed with everyone's development as they leaned more and more to personal self-interest rather than ideals of "compassion" and "family": Joelle became resentful of being out of the spotlight, Sarah Lynn felt isolated and unloved and Bradley wished he had a meager light to flash on to him. All of this mashed up for them to ignore Herb and his solid, but unpractical advice. Of course, Herb may have gone for ideals, but he was never fully proved wrong as in spite of being exiled and seeing as his former friends didn't have use for him anymore, Herb just kept growing in other areas away from showbiz, even if he grew increasingly frustrated and bitter at his wasted years. Both sides were headed toward different directions and while one side learned to juggle his crappiness in an intimate level, the others could have done better balancing their EnlightenedSelfInterest with confronting their issues and hanging on to their better sides.

* GrumpyBear: More so than [=BoJack=], since she has a complete compromise towards working her ass off and refuses to engage in any fun activities that may be detrimental to the inner workings of the film.
