## Plot

[edit]

Diane finds herself in hot water when, during Princess Carolyn's book promotion of BoJack's autobiography in paperback form, she calls attention to sexual misconduct allegations against a beloved television personality named Hank Hippopopalous. While Mr. Peanutbutter begins the production of his new game show, Todd switches places with the prince of the war-torn country Cordovia.

## Reception

[edit]

"Hank After Dark" received generally positive reviews from critics.[3][4] The episode received attention for its character of Hank Hippopopalous, whose situation is compared to that of Bill Cosby after Diane accidentally reveals sexual assault accusations made against him.[5][6][7] For AV Club, Caroline Framke, who gave the episode an A− grade, praised the episode's embracing of scandal, writing, "It's an incredibly bold episode, not just because of its subject matter, but because of its ensuing commentary and the fury with which it condemns Hollywood".[1] She continued, saying "Hank Hippopalous is first and foremost an amalgam for all the rich dudes in Hollywood who can get away with whatever they want".[1]
