Wait , which of those was a real person again ? Note thatBoJackpunnified the first two , giving Mr. Peanutbutter ( Paul F. Tompkins ) a " Swan Dutch " truck driver detonator and a T - shirt blazon with " Sit , Fetch , Stay . "

While Peanutbutter hold off in line for Starbucks , he hash out career opportunities : " My flip phone is blow up with opportunity … Michael Vick made me a very strange offer . " We ’re guess the puppy passed onthat one .

Mr. Peanutbutter ’s second ( " and final ! " ) wife was Jessica Biel – vocalize by the very game Biel herself . Or as she puts it : " The girl from7th Heavenwho took all her clothes off for that magazine . "

Oh , and be trusted to read that drink gameboard . In an audience withVulture , Hanawalt quote it as one of her favoriteBoJacksight gags , ever .

I Can Haz Coffee?

Meanwhile , you might have recognized Starbucks ' heavy barista Diane ( Alison Brie ) as the woman who becomes BoJack ’s sullen biographer nine long time later . She ’s jazzed about her big disruption : getting hip atomic number 99 - zine McSweeney ’s to release her"Open Letter to give Letters . “Her mama is less than thrilled about the online byline : " Website ? What , do we get ta print it out on our own newspaper with our own ink ? I do n’t think so , not this week ! "

Speaking of not this week : " The iPhone is coming out before long , and I need to prepare for that"is an alibi BoJack uses to shirk a commitment . And afterward , when reflecting on a neat partnership : " We were like Heidi and Spencer up in there ! "

Eat, Stay, Love

Princess Carolyn ’s pun - tastic book collection is nothing forgetful ofpurr - fect .

“I practice [kissing] all the time with a picture of Adam Brody.”

Same , Emily . Seth Cohen or bust .

While we get why she ’d recruit Todd for a secret plan of Seven Minutes in Heaven , we ’ve got ta point out that we ’re glad he left that setting haircut in the past tense .

“Un-Jessica Biel-ievable!”

In an larger-than-life , married couple - dissolving fight , Jessica tell her ex , who ca n’t remember whether his wife star inThe IllusionistorThe Prestige(not even nine days can help resolve that mystery ) , " I ’m about to be in what I ’ve been told is a very important gay rights movie calledI Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry .

Koalafornication

At the catered reception following BoJack ’s tabular array read , spot a posting that ’s both an animal pun and a jab at critic who compare the premise of this show to that of 2007 Showtime hitCalifornication . BoJack also perfectly identify another kindred spirit , then the star ofRescue Me : " I need this character to be really edgy , like the sort of character that Denis Leary would be bid and say , ' No way , this theatrical role is too edgy for me . "

Edwards ‘08

Oh , and Mr. Peanutbutter is the featured speaker at a John Edwards fund - raiser , a candidate who pop off the way of Joe Biden . About the node of honour , Mr. Peanutbutter makes an unexpectedly ironical comment about a campaign volunteer : " She was just gushing about how John Edwards touched her . “Yikes .

In the back of the dance hall , Diane ’s friends on the catering staff ask , " What ’s a Twitter page ? "

“TonymarriesDr. Melfi?!”

Early in the episode , Emily tell Todd that her dad put to work forThe Sopranos , which ended its streak in ' 07 . Todd finds the only copy of the reel of the series ' terminal episode and sever it from the spool – which would certainly be one account for its ill-famed cold shoulder - to - dim conclusion .

“So the island’s really purgatory, right?”

BoJack asks a guest at his company , voiced byLost ’s Jorge Garcia . If only Princess Carolyn had n’t cut that convo off , we might have an answer .

Seriously, was our hair this bad back then?

Diane had Todd ’s atrocious tantrum haircut , too . To adequately transmit our shock at her ' 07 tone , one last speed beat of the episode ’s best , most - date blowup :

" Totes magotes!““Hey there , Delilah!““Add me on Myspace!““This shit is bananas . B - A - N - A - N - A - siemens ! "

“‘Glad I’m not that show!’ says creator ofCavemen”
