1[=BoJack's=] dating life is nothing but a bunch of teen girls who've read his book and just want to hang out with a celebrity until he meets Wanda Pierce, an owl woman who just awoke from a thirty-year coma. Meanwhile, Todd decides to open up his own Disneyland.
2----
3!!Tropes:
4* AmusementParkOfDoom: Todd's Disneyland. Attractions include a grease fire, a pile of filthy used mattresses, and a coaster called The Death Coaster "for liability reasons". The episode ends with it burning to the ground due to the aforementioned grease fire.
5* BaitAndSwitch: One of Wanda's plans is to show David Copperfield making the World Trade Center disappear and the rest of her team are aghast. This is because they feel that David Copperfield isn't relevant anymore.
6* BigDamnHeroes: How Mister Peanutbutter saves Todd.
7* CommonalityConnection: What makes Wanda trust Alex immediately and befriend him is that he's going through the same situation and fears that she is going through. In a weird way, him being a Russian spy only enhances this idea of a fish out of water.
8* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: After a cease-and-desist is brought against him due to naming his theme park "Todd's Disneyland" Todd states that maybe Walt Disney trademarked the wrong name. He's right. Due to a typo, Walt Disney trademarked "Diisneyland" instead, and Todd wins his case.
9* DudeShesLikeInAComa: {{Discussed|Trope}}. Wanda admits not having had sex in over 30 years due to her coma, unless of course something happened while she was incapacitated. She seriously hopes that wasn't the case.
10* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Pinky Penguin said to have left the print media company that made [=BoJack=]'s book and is now working in broadcast network television. As he believes things will get better from there, he soon realizes that may not be the case now that he says it out loud.
11* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While [=BoJack=] and Pinkie are talking at the skating rink, Wanda is seen jumping mid-skate and doing a ''pirouette'' while [[FurryReminder her head stays perfectly straight]].
12* GroupieBrigade: [=BoJack=] develops one after the success of his book.
13* LoveAtFirstSight: Happens to [=BoJack=] and Wanda in a roller rink and is gradually {{deconstructed|Trope}} over the course of the season.
14* RecordNeedleScratch: Happens when Wanda meets Alex. The song "I Just Met My Perfect Match" stops and restarts.
15* SmokingHotSex: Wanda has sex this way with [=BoJack=].
16* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: Both Wanda and Alex have a hard time accepting that their world is gone.
17** When [=BoJack=] thinks Wanda's the one, the song playing is called "I Just Met My Perfect Match".
18** During Mister Peanutbutter's rescue, the DJ plays a song called "Every Dog Has His Day".
19* TimmyInAWell: Spoofed when Mister Peanutbutter's Disneyland knock-off catches fire and he tries to run to some firefighters to help put out the flames. He's so out of breath that they misinterpret his pleading completely, thinking that a kid fell down a well and needs to be rescued.
20* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: After sleeping with Wanda, [=BoJack=] freaks out because he feels things for her.
