Recap / Tuca And Bertie S 2 E 03 Kyle

Go To

Bertie feels the need to build up some confidence, so she imagines a frat boy version of herself named Kyle, who ends up becoming a real person.

Tuca, meanwhile, takes up becoming the city's traffic coordinator.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Attractive Bent-Gender: The frat bro version of Bertie that she imagines up is immediately taken by Tuca for meaningless sex. Bertie is uncomfortable with that but Tuca says it's her fault for making him so attractive.
  • Benevolent Boss: Holland once again, when Bertie comes clean about her pastry business. He even accepts her offer of being the one who helps provide catering for the office.
  • Easily Forgiven: Bertie is sickened that this trope is in effect with Pastry Pete, as he's been able to get back in the public's good graces just by saying he's sorry and they resume buying his baked goods.
  • Drunk with Power: Tuca becomes dangerously controlling in her job as a traffic coordinator (since she's really good at it)... until the city finally puts stops signs at the spot she was in charge of.
  • Men Don't Cry: During the "Bro" song, Dirk laments that his father told him that boys don't cry, and now he doesn't understand why he wants to cry when he's drunk.
  • One-Word Vocabulary: Bertie has one (from the advice of "Kyle") who tells her to talk to Dirk using only the word "Bro".
  • Tampering with Food and Drink: Bertie's inner bro leads a bunch of bros in hacking a loogie into a cup and dumping it in the icing tub of Pastry Pete's stand.
  • Tulpa: Bertie imagines up a frat boy version of herself named Kyle as part of a therapeutic exercise to handle situations she normally can't function in, and Kyle comes to life by climbing out of her head through her ear. He's mostly independent and runs a little out of her control after manifesting in the physical world.
  • Youtuber Apology Parody: Pastry Pete posts an insincere apology on the Internet, where he spends more time acting bitter over getting "cancelled" and promoting his "I'm Sorry" pastries than actually addressing what he did wrong.
