8	----
9	!!"After the Party" contains examples of:
10	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Mr. Peanutbutter reveals he turned the spare bedroom into a Starbucks, complete with him as the barista. Despite herself, Diane can't help but chuckle as he "takes her order" and calls out that it's for Darren. That allows them to break the ice and end the fight.
11	* ArtShift: Wanda's jokes are illustrated in the style of a children's book.
12	* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane's argument at the end of their segment is this. On the one hand, Diane has a point that Mr. Peanutbutter didn't listen to her or respect her wishes, that she wants to go to Cordovia to make a difference in the world, and something of her life. Mr. Peanutbutter, however, has some legit points: why would ''any'' sane person want their wife to go to a wartorn country for six months, where she could be killed or badly injured? He asks what is wrong with routine. In the end, they compromise; Diane will put her trip on hold for her husband's sake, and he promises to support her no matter how she changes.
13	* BrickJoke:
14	** Sir Paul [=McCartney=] being baked into a cake. At the end of the episode, he pops out and asks where everyone is.
15	** Wanda tells [=BoJack=] a joke about a gardener who knows exactly how much mulch he needs for a job. He overestimates and the extra bag of mulch drives him crazy, so he tosses it out on the freeway. [=BoJack=] doesn't understand how this is a joke and Wanda says he'll get it later. She then tells him another story of a woman who sent old love letters to her ex-boyfriend. Her current boyfriend gets paranoid and jealous. He drives her to her home near the freeway, but forgets to close his window. When he comes back, he sees a shadow in the car and thinks his girlfriend's ex is in the car only to discover the bag of mulch in his back seat.
16	* DrivenToSuicide: It's implied that Princess Carolyn's phone blacking out upon Todd's phone rebooting is this.
17	* TheDulcineaEffect: Under Wanda's influence, [=BoJack=] for the first time ever is able to right a wrong when he accidentally hits a deer. Despite not wanting to help, he goes out to look for her and the deer, and offers to pay the poor guy's hospital bill when he explains that he's badly in debt. Wanda gives him a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre look when they're in the waiting room.
18	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Todd mentions that people say he looks like the Prince of Cordovia. This serves as the basis for the B-plot of an [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS2E07HankAfterDark episode]] later in the season.
19	* FormulaBreakingEpisode: This episode is broken into three parts: The first part focusing on Todd and Princess Carolyn, the second part on [=BoJack=] and Wanda, and the third and final part on Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter.
20	* FurryReminder: Wanda could both fly and see great ranges in the dark.
21	* ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: Todd and Princess Carolyn's phones fall in love.
22	* RageBreakingPoint: The actual argument between Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane is ''incredibly'' petty (Mr. Peanutbutter suggesting they just Google it is what really sets things off), but all the problems with their marriage that have been building up under the surface come pouring out.
23	* RewatchBonus: Wanda laughing after [=BoJack=] expresses confusion over her initial joke makes more sense when you watch the episode a second time.
24	* RunningGag: Once again, Mr. Peanutbutter has difficulty translating what he says into text.
25	-->"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE AND USE A PRETTY FONT"
26	-->"I HAD A BALL AT DIANE'S 35th BIRTHDAY AND UNDERLINE BALL I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS SO HARD"
27	* RunningOverThePlot: [=BoJack=] and Wanda's subplot starts when they run over a deer and have to find him and get him to the hospital
28	* ShoutOut: Todd's storyline is a parody of ''Film/{{her\|2013}}''.
