* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Is based off of many former child stars who took on more sexual images as they reached adulthood, had [[StageMom Stage Parents]], and/or are infamous for erratic behavior and drug use due to the toxicity of the entertainment business, including Creator/JudyGarland, Music/BritneySpears, Creator/MileyCyrus, and Creator/LindsayLohan. Design-wise Sarah Lynn resembles Lohan the most.

* AlmightyIdiot: PlayedWith. Wanda has been named Head of Programming in MBN at the start of Season 2, giving her auteur license regarding green-lighting shows, full staff control and final word in all important decisions concerned with the future of the network; this due to a special loophole involving a long career courtesy of a coma and issues with her primacy rather than any indication of real boss material, not to say her rather outdated and outlandish concept pitches which aren't hindered nor given breathing space to develop or object by a bunch of butt-kissers and her undeterred optimism about them. However, she's rather savvy when it comes to what people want to see and what are the commodity shows that will ensure people will keep tuning in next time as well as hiring people efficient in ways she's lacking expertise in. And as shown below in BewareTheNiceOnes, when she gets serious, she gets ''fucking'' serious.

TRS has defined The Beard as "fake straight relationship to hide being LGBT". Fake-dating examples that don't fit this go in Fake Relationship or one of its other subtropes. Low context/unclear examples will be deleted. Reading the context, it doesn't seem like he dated to her to hide being gay, he just figured it out sometime after dating her.


* TheBeard: Herb dated her before he was outed as gay.

Seinfeld Is Unfunny is now a disambiguation page.


* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: InUniverse. Many of her programming ideas would have been revolutionary back in the 80s. Now they're simply current and arguably played out.

* NewOldFlame: PlayedWith. Charlotte appears once again in season 2 and once she talks with [=Bojack=] and gives him her card suggesting he visits her at New Mexico sometime, the show appears to be setting them up as a possible couple, only to then subvert it when it turns out she's now married and has no outward interest in taking a trip down memory's lane like [=BoJack=]'d wish. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Of course, it's not like she had been waiting him all those years.]]

Cool Loser cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: PlayedWith. She's most definitely this with Allison Flierl, the school's resident nerd. However, Allison, judging by comments, is more of a CoolLoser and Penny, while higher in the social hierarchy, is not that popular. After two months and being with the cool kids, Penny eventually denies being friends with her at all, putting the state of their current relationship in question.

* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: PlayedWith. She's most definitely this with Allison Flierl, the school's resident nerd. However, Allison, judging by comments, is more of quite popular as a CoolLoser "loser" and Penny, while higher in the social hierarchy, is not that popular. After two months and being with the cool kids, Penny eventually denies being friends with her at all, putting the state of their current relationship in question.



** Pre-TimeSkip, she was often implied to be good friends with Alison Flierl, the school resident CoolLoser, much to the chagrin of the popular clique like Maddy Ginsburg. Seeing the chances of raising in status fly by, Penny distanced herself from Alison, preferring to hang with Maddy, even neglecting any time spent together with Alison. Post-TimeSkip, Penny denies ever being friends with Alison to Maddy as they head to the prom. As they never speak directly neither before or during the prom, it's dubious if they remained in touch, but it's clear they're not as close as they used to be.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Allison Flierl, the school's CoolLoser. Judging by the conversation Penny has with Maddy after the TimeSkip, she would prefer if Allison was never mentioned and denies ever having contact with her.

* AmicableExes: Downplayed, as he and his ex-wife do have some tension among them in regards to Guy spending time with Sonny, but their relationship isn't expanded on.
* CelebrityResemblance: A subtle detail about their relationship is that one of Diane’s favorite movies is [[WesternAnimation/BeautyandtheBeast Beauty and the Beast]] which previously ended up playing a role in the dissolution of her marriage to Mister Peanutbutter. As a Buffalo, Guy looks nearly identical to Disney’s depiction of the Beast (who Disney animators described as a bison mixed with some wolf traits).
