!!"Downer Ending" contains examples of:
* ArtShift: During his trip, [=BoJack=] runs into Diane giving advice, ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' style.
* {{Backmasking}}: When [=BoJack=] sees Todd and Sarah Lynn wearing each other's clothes and speaking with each other's voices, Sarah Lynn says, in Todd's voice, what sounds like some indecipherable gibberish, but it is actually, "[[LampshadeHanging I'm talking backwards]]. [[Creator/AaronPaul Aaron]] [[ActorAllusion Paul]] is dead." played in reverse.
* BodyHorror: A major case of this occurs when after kissing hallucination Diane, [=BoJack=] witnesses her body inflating and multiplying into two.
* BurnBabyBurn: [=BoJack=] attempts this twice to Diane's manuscript by tossing it in a trashcan and tossing a match into it. It doesn't work.
* CallBack:
** [=BoJack=] mentions his failed attempts to convince Sarah Lynn to go sober.
** [=BoJack=] asks Todd if he still wanted revenge for ruining his rock opera.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: [=BoJack=] decides that drugs should be taken with your friends at home, where its safe. This is the conclusion he draws from them nearly killing each other.
* DerangedAnimation: [=BoJack=]'s drug trip involves quite a lot of this, which includes Diane turning into a hideous monster, [=BoJack=] losing his outlines (which he lampshades) before melting into a bunch of colours, and [=BoJack=] turning into a sketch and then a stick figure which is erased by a live-action pencil.
* DownerEnding: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. [=BoJack=] decides to end his story by taking a dip in the lake one final time before allowing himself to drown. Todd and Sarah Lynn decide to give it a real downer ending by murdering [=BoJack=]
** The episode itself ends really darkly with [=BoJack=], near-crying, asking Diane if she thinks he's a good person, followed by a long, painful silence as the giggles of his hallucinated daughter echo in the background.
* DramaBomb: There's a reason why most of this episode's plot is in the tearjerker page.
* EyeScream: During hallucination Diane's transformation, her eye inflates out of its socket and pops.
* FantasyTwist: In [=BoJack=]'s first attempt to write his biography himself, he imagines his parents acting like they want to spend time with him and giving him treats...but then his father gives him a DopeSlap, and they go back to their usual abusive selves.
* FurryReminder: When talking with [=BoJack=] about the book he's writing, Princess Caroline coughs up a hairball.

* SubvertedSitcom: During his MushroomSamba [=BoJack=] imagines he's back in the 1990s filming his cheery old family sitcom ''JustForFun/HorsinAround''. However, the scene quickly turns surreal. [=BoJack=] (as the Horse) repeats the line "This is all I am and all I'll ever be" to a cheering studio audience, with Ethan quipping "You said it, ''old man''!" in a disturbing deep voice. Then, four-year-old Sarah Lynn's request for the Horse to make her a "penis butter and vajelly sandwich" elicits audience "awww"s before she transforms into [[FormerChildStar the adult Sarah Lynn]] screaming the same request at [=BoJack=].

During the time he was high, he did somehow manage to write some pages on his book and send it to Princess Carolyn. Unfortunately, as Princess Carolyn points, what he sent her was pure gibberish, consiting of 20 pages of erotic ''Series/DoctorWho'' FanFiction, a recipe for soup, 5 different conspiracy theories about 9/11, and "a bunch of embedded [=YouTube=] that cannot possibly be printed in book form."
* WhosOnFirst: They spend some time talking about how much Dr. Hu's name sounds like ''Series/DoctorWho''. Somehow nobody but [=BoJack=] [[PopculturalOsmosisFailure has ever heard of the show.]] And yet, after Todd says, "I don't know", somehow, right on cue, Sarah Lynn and Dr. Hu say, "Third base!"
* WritersBlockMontage: Occurs as [=BoJack=] tries to write the book himself.
* WritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: An unusual version, as the "finished" book written by the trio ends up being a bunch of rambling nonsense, including poorly made drawings, erotic ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[BrickJoke fan-fiction]], a recipe for soup, at least 10 theories on how 9/11 happened and (handwritten) Website/YouTube links that (as explained by Princess Carolyn) are "impossible to print in a book."
