[[AC:Brand New Couch]]
* It starts off on a low note, showing a young [=BoJack=] [[CallBack watching Secretariat answer his letter on TV]]... while his parents fight in the kitchen loudly enough that he can't hear Secretariat's response to his question of what to do when he is sad.
* His reaction to the fight is equally heartbreaking - he just scoots closer to the TV and turns up the volume in an attempt to avoid hearing the fight, the pure happiness he was expressing earlier from his idol talking about him vanishing instantly.
* And ''then'' his mother calmly walks into the living room and [[ResentfulGuardian blames it all on [=BoJack=]]].
-->'''Beatrice''': You know, I was beautiful before I got pregnant with you.\\
'''Young [=BoJack=]''': I know.\\
'''Beatrice''': You ruined me, [=BoJack=].\\
'''Young Bojack''': ''(sadder)'' I know.\\
'''Beatrice''': You better grow up to be something great to make up for all the damage you've done.\\
'''Young [=BoJack=]''': I will.\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Beatrice''': Okay, enough me being a great mom. I'm gonna go hide your father's heart medication. Enjoy your dumb little TV show.
* Beatrice calls [=BoJack=] to [[HeelRealization apologize to him for how horribly she treated him when he was younger.]] It doesn't lessen the sadness by very much when she tells him that "[he] was born broken." [[AbusiveParents True to form]], Beatrice never actually admits fault or apologizes for her behavior, instead saying "You must think I'm a monster. I don't want to argue with you, [=BoJack=]." and then apologizing for the fact [=BoJack=] was born messed up. Even her apology shifts all of the blame onto [=BoJack=]. It's a subtler blow, but heartbreaking nonetheless.
[[AC:Still Broken]]
* The scene at the end where [=BoJack=] and Herb sneak into an on-set pool after filming the ''Horsin Around'' pilot doubles as this and heartwarming.
* The [[TheLoad Todd]] sub plot of the episode involves him finding a new, sudden burst of confidence... Until [=BoJack=] makes fun of him, [[BreakTheCutie re-shattering]] his self esteem. It really shows how vulnerable he is to what [=BoJack=]'s constant criticism.
--->'''[=BoJack=]''': Hey, why'd you roll up your sleeves like that? You look weird.\\
'''Todd''': Oh, I, uhh...(immediately falters) I was - I was trying out a new look - It was... It was a dumb idea...
[[AC:After The Party]]
* The fourth episode has Diane confessing to Mr. Peanutbutter that she's no longer happy where she is. This revelation and their ensuing conversation finally gets her husband, who had been using every passive-aggressive trick in the book to try and change her mind, to fully support her trip overseas.
[[AC:Hank After Dark]]
* Mr. Peanutbutter ends up reading a lot of hate mail directed towards Diane and gets steadily more depressed because of all the terrible things people are saying about her, which culminates in their fighting over her having no ''personal'' stake in any of it, but is being targeted by others [[ShootTheMessenger due to bringing it up]]. The episode ends with Diane deciding to give up on exposing Hank and waiting for her flight to Cordovia looking miserable... and a random guy tells her "Smile!". The perfect depressingly realistic cap to an [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped appropriately Anvilicious episode]].
-->'''Diane''': You don't... ''really'' want me to go. Do you?
-->'''Mr. Peanutbutter''': Why does it suddenly matter what ''I'' want.
* Hank's current assistant, Nicole, nervously calls Diane to talk to her but ends up bringing Hank along. When we see her, she looks incredibly uncomfortable, and one can assume whatever Hank did to his other assistants, he's still doing to her. [[DownerEnding And she probably isn't going to get justice for it anytime soon.]]
[[AC:Let's Find Out]]
* It contains an emotional exchange of ArmorPiercingQuestion and ArmorPiercingResponse between Mr. Peanutbutter and [=BoJack=], ending with PB admitting that he wasn't sure if he could forgive [=BoJack=] for all he's done.
** Worse, he tells [=BoJack=] that he really wanted to be his friend and was perfectly aware at all of the verbal abuse he was receiving. He doesn't know if he can forgive him, but by the sound of his voice, he clearly ''wants'' to.
** This is swiftly followed by [[BewareTheSillyOnes this instruction from Wanda]].
--->'''Wanda''': Uh, this is network television. So, resolving everything cleanly in a half-hour [[GoldenMoment is kind of what we do]]. You wanna host a game-show where everyone feels ''bad'' at the end? You can get in your little car and drive to Santa Monica and pitch it to {{Creator/AMC}}. But ''these'' people want resolution, okay? So you get your little butt back on that stage, ''and you resolve''.
[[AC:The Shot]]
* One of the many tearjerkers near the end of "The Shot" is how after [=BoJack=] had difficulty crying for the shot they needed for the movie (saying himself he never cries in public) he goes off to smoke in private and then breaks down sobbing.
* And the reason he never cries in public is because the one time he tried a cigarette as a kid his mom caught him and [[RadishCure forced him to finish it]] in front of her telling him [[MenDontCry that he should never cry in front of others, least of all her]].
--->'''Young [=BoJack=]:''' Are you punishing me for smoking or for stealing?
--->'''Beatrice:''' I'm punishing you for ''[[ResentfulGuardian being alive]]''.
* The ending where it's revealed that the events of the episode cost Kelsey her job, because Turtletaub fired her for disobeying his orders... especially since it was established a few episodes earlier that Kelsey needs a big budget movie success to provide for her daughter and avoid losing custody to her ex-wife.
* Diane not being able to deal with Cordovia, and after her phone call with Mr Peanut Butter, it being revealed that she's at the airport sadly waiting for her luggage.
** Even worse is her monologue at the end of the scene, mentally putting herself down as a writer and as somebody who makes a difference knowing she couldn't tell Mr. Peanutbutter she was back so soon after he had finally comes to terms with her being gone for so long.
--->'''And then you realize that book you're writing in your head... will never actually be a book. [[LeftHanging So you just-]]'''
[[AC:Yes And..]]
* Diane waking up from a drunken stupor shouting "Kinko!", the Cordovian boy who she became friends with and got killed.
* Pay attention to Diane's rant and the way she mentions how "all your favorite musicians beat their wives... allegedly!" Sounds like she's still sore over the Hank Hippopopolous fiasco just three episodes earlier, even after spending some time in Cordovia to take her mind off of it.
* [=BoJack=] and Wanda's break-up. Wanda's "when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags" is painfully relatable, as is [=BoJack=]'s "you didn't know me, so you fell in love with me, and now you know me".
[[AC:Escape From L.A.]]
* The episode doesn't have anything specifically Tear Jerker-inspiring, until you realize that at the end, [=BoJack=]'s circle of friends from the 80s - him, Herb, and Charlotte - is irreversibly, irreparably broken. Herb died hating [=BoJack=], and Charlotte, after catching [=BoJack=] in bed with her daughter, utterly despises him.
* And the "theme song" for that episode is "Kyle and the Kids", as seen under LyricalDissonance.
* Charlotte's hatred of [=BoJack=] by the end of the episode is absolutely heartbreaking, especially remembering the Maine hallucination in "Downer Ending". Consider that [=BoJack=] is implied to still love her- and the implications that [=BoJack=] was about to sleep with Penny not out of some selfish or disgusting act of no self-control, but rather an attempt by [=BoJack=]'s subconscious to sabotage his relationship with Charlotte for good. WordOfGod says he did this because he has the mental capacity of a teenager and, therefore, can't register that what he's doing is wrong.
[[AC:Out To Sea]]
* The episode compares a day in the life of the separated Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter. Mr. Peanutbutter seems to have it much better than Diane, who is disgraced and ashamed from returning to L.A. with nothing to show for it. Then he quietly sneaks away from his own party to sigh and look up at the stars as he pines for his wife.
* Copernicus may be a cult leader but he does make a few good points as to why would Todd would ever go and be friends with [=BoJack=]. Which he, sadly, is right -- Who ''would'' [=BoJack=] for a friend or, in Todd's case, take him back as a friend. Most of Todd and [=BoJack=]'s relationship consisted of the horse being emotionally abusive to Todd, not to mention intentionally ruining his Rock Opera out of fear that ''[[ItsAllAboutMe [=BoJack=]]]'' would be all alone.
* The final scene of season 2: "It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier."

* One of the many tearjerkers near the end of "The Shot" is how after [=BoJack=] had difficulty crying for the shot they needed for the movie (saying himself he never cries in public) he goes off to smoke in private and then breaks down sobbing.
** And the reason he never cries in public is because the one time he tried a cigarette as a kid his mom caught him and [[RadishCure forced him to finish it]] in front of her telling him [[MenDontCry that he should never cry in front of others, least of all her]].
--->'''Young [=BoJack=]:''' Are you punishing me for smoking or for stealing?
--->'''Beatrice:''' I'm punishing you for ''[[ResentfulGuardian being alive]]''.
** The ending where it's revealed that the events of the episode cost Kelsey her job, because Turtletaub fired her for disobeying his orders... especially since it was established a few episodes earlier that Kelsey needs a big budget movie success to provide for her daughter and avoid losing custody to her ex-wife.
** Diane not being able to deal with Cordovia, and after her phone call with Mr Peanut Butter, it being revealed that she's at the airport sadly waiting for her luggage.
*** Even worse is her monologue at the end of the scene, mentally putting herself down as a writer and as somebody who makes a difference knowing she couldn't tell Mr. Peanutbutter she was back so soon after he had finally comes to terms with her being gone for so long.
--->'''And then you realize that book you're writing in your head... will never actually be a book. [[LeftHanging So you just-]]'''
* "Yes And":
** Diane waking up from a drunken stupor shouting "Kinko!", the Cordovian boy who she became friends with and got killed.
** Pay attention to Diane's rant and the way she mentions how "all your favorite musicians beat their wives... allegedly!" Sounds like she's still sore over the Hank Hippopopolous fiasco just three episodes earlier, even after spending some time in Cordovia to take her mind off of it.
** Bojack and Wanda's break-up. Wanda's "when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags" is painfully relatable, as is Bojack's "you didn't know me, so you fell in love with me, and now you know me".
* "Escape From L.A.":
** The episode doesn't have anything specifically Tear Jerker-inspiring, until you realize that at the end, [=BoJack=]'s circle of friends from the 80s - him, Herb, and Charlotte - is irreversibly, irreparably broken. Herb died hating [=BoJack=], and Charlotte, after catching [=BoJack=] in bed with her daughter, utterly despises him.
** And the "theme song" for that episode is "Kyle and the Kids", as seen under LyricalDissonance.
** Charlotte's hatred of Bojack by the end of the episode is absolutely heartbreaking, especially remembering the Maine hallucination in "Downer Ending". Consider that Bojack is implied to still love her- and the implications that Bojack was about to sleep with Penny not out of some selfish or disgusting act of no self-control, but rather an attempt by Bojack's subconscious to sabotage his relationship with Charlotte for good. WordOfGod says he did this because he has the mental capacity of a teenager and, therefore, can't register that what he's doing is wrong.
* "Out to Sea":
** The episode compares a day in the life of the separated Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter. Mr. Peanutbutter seems to have it much better than Diane, who is disgraced and ashamed from returning to L.A. with nothing to show for it. Then he quietly sneaks away from his own party to sigh and look up at the stars as he pines for his wife.
** The final scene of season 2: "It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier." It even inspired the quote for this page.

** His reaction to the fight is equally heartbreaking - he just scoots closer to the TV and turns up the volume in an attempt to avoid hearing the fight.
** And ''then'' his mother calmly walks into the living room and [[ResentfulGuardian blames it all on Bojack]].
--->'''Beatrice''': You know, I was beautiful before I got pregnant with you.\\
'''Young Bojack''': I know.\\
'''Beatrice''': You ruined me, Bojack.\\
'''Young Bojack''': ''(sadder)'' I know.\\
'''Beatrice''': You better grow up to be something great to make up for all the damage you've done.\\
'''Young Bojack''': I will.\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Beatrice''': Okay, enough me being a great mom. I'm gonna go hide your father's heart medication. Enjoy your dumb little TV show.
** In "Brand New Couch", Beatrice calls Bojack to [[HeelRealization apologize to him for how horribly she treated him when he was younger.]] It doesn't lessen the sadness by very much when she tells him that "[he] was born broken." [[AbusiveParents True to form]], Beatrice never actually admits fault or apologizes for her behavior, instead saying "You must think I'm a monster. I don't want to argue with you, Bojack." and then apologizing for the fact Bojack was born messed up. Even her apology shifts all of the blame onto Bojack. It's a subtler blow, but heartbreaking nonetheless.
* The fourth episode has Diane confessing to Mr. Peanutbutter that she's no longer happy where she is. This revelation and their ensuing conversation finally gets her husband, who had been using every passive-aggressive trick in the book to try and change her mind, to fully support her trip overseas
* "Still Broken":
** The scene at the end where Bojack and Herb sneak into an on-set pool after filming the ''Horsin Around'' pilot doubles as this and heartwarming.
** The [[TheLoad Todd]] sub plot of the episode involves him finding a new, sudden burst of confidence... Until Bojack makes fun of him, [[BreakTheCutie re-shattering]] his self esteem. It really shows how vulnerable he is to what Bojack's constant criticism.
--->'''Bojack''': Hey, why'd you roll up your sleeves like that? You look weird.\\
'''Todd''': Oh, I, uhh...(immediately falters) I was - I was trying out a new look - It was... It was a dumb idea...
* Mr. Peanutbutter ends up reading a lot of hate mail directed towards Diane during "Hank After Dark" and gets steadily more depressed because of all the terrible things people are saying about her. The episode ends with Diane deciding to give up on exposing Hank and waiting for her flight to Cordovia looking miserable... and a random guy tells her "Smile!". The perfect depressingly realistic cap to an [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped appropriately Anvilicious episode]].
* "Let's Find Out" contains an emotional exchange of ArmorPiercingQuestion and ArmorPiercingResponse between Mr. Peanutbutter and Bojack, ending with PB admitting that he wasn't sure if he could forgive Bojack for all he's done.
** Worse, he tells [=BoJack=] that he really wanted to be his friend and was perfectly aware at all of the verbal abuse he was receiving. He doesn't know if he can forgive him, but by the sound of his voice, he clearly ''wants'' to.
