Trivia
- Secretariat and Butterscotch Horseman were blended into a single character during BoJack's dream sequence. This may be because Secretariat was more of a father figure and role model to BoJack growing up than his actual father was, but it may also have been due to the practical concerns of Will Arnett voicing three different characters in the same scene, as BoJack, Butterscotch, and Secretariat are all played by him.
- At the dinner scene, most of the characters are given meals that represent the respective circumstances of their deaths:
- BoJack is served a plate of pills, as it was intoxication that led to his drowning.
- Herb eats a bowl of peanuts, as it was ultimately an allergic reaction to peanuts that caused his death.
- Crackerjack eats military food rations.
- Beatrice is served what appears to be low-quality cafeteria food from the nursing home where she lived out the remainder of her life.
- Corduroy was given a lemon, as biting into a lemon was an essential part of his auto-erotic asphyxiation ritual.
- Sarah Lynn seems to be the exception to this pattern as she is seen hungrily eating a burger and french fries, which has no obvious connection to the circumstances of her death. Sarah Lynn does, however, mention being guilted by her mother over her diet while touring in 2007, referencing both how Sarah Lynn was tortured by fame and how her downfall began in 2007 after Bojack visited her.
