BoJack "I Spy" (possible spoilers)

[crowschmo]

Name some silly sh*t you see or hear in BoJack (Horseman, obviously), whether it be animal puns or posters or signs or billboards in the background. Just some things you notice that give you an extra chuckle.

For instance: When BoJack meets Wanda (the owl who was in a coma for 30 years), he takes her to that Retro 50's diner - because nothing says 80's like 50's nostalgia - the server behind the counter playing Marlon Brando is an actual marlin, and the waitress playing Lucille Ball is a seal (Lu - SEAL).

Just thought that was funny.

There's a million of these things, so if anyone's interested this thread could go on for quite some time.

Or - it could stop here if no one gives a crap.

When BoJack is in a bar, there is a shark playing pool (pool shark). On the set of Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities, What Do They Know, Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out! (phew), there is a hammerhead shark helping to build the set (you know, as a hammer).

When BoJack visits Charlotte (the deer) in New Mexico, there is an exterior shot of her house and a couple of joggers go by. The first jogger just happens to be a roadrunner, and then another jogger goes by and it's a coyote.

Apparently, wherever they have their banners and shirts printed out, that place has some incompetent employees. When Mr. Peanutbutter has shirts printed out for Diane's birthday, the shirt says, "I Had A Ball At Diane's 35th Birthday Party Underline Ball." (Edit: the rest of it says, "I Don't Know Why This Is So Hard). It was all spelled out instead of the word ball being underlined (a pun because of the "ball" room).

A banner says something like "Congratulations Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane Mr. Peanutbutter is One Word" or something like that. Mr. PB just wanted to emphasize that Peanutbutter was one word, and the place wrote the whole thing out. Then there was another occasion and apparently Mr. PB was frustrated with the LAST sign that got printed, so was trying to explain to them again, I forget the wording of the banner and what occasion it was for, but it said "Mr. Peanutbutter is one word don't write one word." There's more, but I can't think of them right now.

When Herb Kazazz dies, when they are at his house after the funeral, there are some vultures flying over his house (and of course, they are anthropomorphic vultures). And Henry Winkler was talking to a ferret woman about something and said to her, "I'll let you get back to your business.", and she goes over to a couple of other ferrets: A group of ferrets is called a "business".

Also, when Tod transforms into cool "Toad", he goes to a bar called the Watering Hole, and naturally, a gang of water buffalo are outside it. And a group of water buffalo is called a gang. Double pun!

I love when they do flashbacks and they do all this stuff to emphasize that it's a flashback: someone's in a car singing a generic "this is the decade" kind of song, like something about the 80's (I forget the wording) then they sing, "The decade which it currently is." And someone was singing "generic 90's grunge song."

When BoJack and Herb Kazazz are talking in Herb's office, Herb says something like, "What is it BoJack my good friend in 1988, the year it currently is." (And he holds up a desk calendar that says 1988).

When we see BoJack and Princess Carolyn in bed and think, "oh, they did it again" we realize it's a flashback when the announcer on the radio (when the alarm goes off) says it's 2007 (again, I don't remember the wording, but there's absolutely no reason for him to announce the year). Princess Carolyn jumps out of bed because she's late for something and says, "2007! Is that the time!"

Then a little later in the story, the radio announcer says, "It's two months later." And his partner on the radio says, "Two months later than WHAT?" (Then he mentions something like he thinks he's having a stroke).

And a little later in the story, Mr. Peanutbutter is at some gala and there's a banner in the background that says, "The Another Two Months Later Foundation".

I just crack up at those things.

I ordered a t-shirt online with this on it, it looks like the t-shirt from the show.

In the episode that shows four different years at BoJack's Halloween parties - with Mr. Peanutbutter's various wives and girlfriends - Diane is in BoJack's bathroom talking to Pickles and we see on a shelf in the background that BoJack uses Mane and Tail shampoo.


Edit: None of these "humanimals" have tails!
