* In "The Judge," Princess Carolyn meets Ralph's family, but has to [[MySecretPregnancy hide her pregnancy]] for the time being. Ralph's parents offer her a drink, which she turns down, then try to get her a coffee or a smoke. Their requests continue and get more and more ludicrously dangerous for an expectant mother, such as offering her "a quick punch in the belly so you remember what it's like to feel alive" (which is apparently "a rich person thing") or a ride on their extremely dangerous roller coaster.

* While the rest of Bojack's inner thoughts in "Stupid Piece of Sh*t" are rather depressing, this monologue in the beginning deserves special mention.

* While's Beatrice Horseman's abuse of her son and the severe damage it does is played entirely for drama, Butterscotch is generally so over the top that it tends to play HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood hilariously straight. The scene of him lecturing young [=BoJack=] about not taking the easy way out "like some kind of democrat" feels like something out of ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy'', complete with [[SoundtrackDissonance goofy '50s stock music]] and a WackySoundEffect when he backhands [=BoJack=].

--> "Imaginary friends are [[ConspiracyTheorist freeloaders invented by communists to rip off welfare]]. Why don't you do something productive like bang your head against the wall until [[BuffySpeak your brain isn't so stupid]]."

--->"That was, and I don't say this lightly, worse than a hundred September 11ths."

* Wanda's pitch for a show where David Copperfield makes the World Trade Center disappear... which the network turns down only because [[BaitAndSwitch David Copperfield isn't really popular anymore.]]
* The traditionally bleak eleventh episode of season 2 starts with a redone catchy theme song about how [[spoiler:Charlotte now has a family and their life is perfect]].
* Sextina's abortion song. Also incredibly catchy. Taken up to eleven during the bridge, where she wishes that the unborn fetus has a soul just so it'll feel pain during the abortion. And taken even further by Tom Jumbo-Grumbo's reaction:
--->'''Tom''': "Has the concept of women having choices gone too far?"
* Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter arguing on the news about women's right to have a gun, and then immediately heading home to have loud, angry sex while ''the entire campaign staff is still in the house.''
--->'''Diane''': [[UnusualEuphemism FILL MY CHAMBER WITH YOUR POWERFUL BULLETS!]]

* "Time's Arrow" has an ''extremely'' dark HistoricalInJoke from Beatrice, when she laments the assassination of Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers.
