[[WMG: Bojack will die in the GrandFinale.]]
The fact that The Horse dies in the last episode of ''Horsin' Around'' is actually {{foreshadowing}}. Knowing the depressed, self-loathing mess that Bojack is, most of us would probably expect a DrivenToSuicide scenario. But that's too obvious. Here's how it will really go.\\
\\
Bojack, after so much therapy and reality checks, and after a journey of soul searching, reaches an epiphany and finally experiences true joy for the first time in his life. Oh, I forgot to mention... he was diagnosed with cancer. The last portion of the episode depicts him in his death bed, when he gets a visit from someone he previously hurt. Bojack, in his final moments, apologizes for what he did - [[CallBack and is]] ''[[RejectedApology not forgiven]]'' [[LaserGuidedKarma in the end]]. This will go down as one of the most tragic {{Downer Ending}}s of all time.

[[WMG: Talking dog/puppy movies aimed at children from real-life are actually mean-spirited affairs meant to mock and belittle dogs in-universe.]]
As a result, average dog children dislike them.
* Or perhaps such movies are not meant to be malicious, but they tend to contain [[UnfortunateImplications cringeworthy dog stereotypes]], which naturally leads to film critics and animal activists complaining about them.

[[WMG: Bojack will die in the GrandFinale]]
The fact that The Horse dies in the last episode of ''Horsin' Around'' is actually ForeShadowing. Knowing the depressed, self-loathing mess that Bojack is, most of us would probably expect a DrivenToSuicide scenario. But that's too obvious. Here's how it will really go.\\

to:

[[WMG: In the final season of the series, [=BoJack's=] final conflict will be with his own physical health -- if not death itself.]]
By this last season, [=BoJack=] will have done his best to conquer his inner demons, and (more or less) resolve most of his social and emotional problems. However, [=BoJack's=] psyche won't be the only thing haunting him, but also all the unhealthy vices that have damaged his body over the years; from overeating junk food, to abusing alcohol/tobacco/drugs, to his sexual promiscuity (think what nasty [=STDs=] he could've caught). [=BoJack=] may discover that he's suffering from cardiovascular disease, liver failure, perhaps even [=AIDS=] or cancer. Regardless of whether or not [=BoJack=] can overcome any of these diseases, he'll have to come to terms with his impending mortality.
* [[FridgeBrilliance It'll be the only thing he can't regain control of: his literal life]].
* He does mention that he has a strand of herpes, albeit as a joke ("I wish I was asexual, that way I wouldn't have ''a'' strand of herpes!"), but this show is known to take passive gags like that and then later [[CerebusRetcon expand on them to make you miserable]], so there's a possibility that it will come back.
* And the last scene will be him surrounded by or getting supportive calls from all of the friends he either gained or re-gained over the course of the series through his efforts to better himself. Unlike the incredibly bleak death he wrote for himself on ''Horsin' Around'', [=BoJack=] doesn't die of a broken heart because he's all alone and nobody loves him, rather he dies peacefully knowing that yes, people do like him. It's the ultimate BittersweetEnding: "He who dies with the most toys (or, in this case, friends) and still dies, but at least you die knowing you have them."

Probably not in any serious plotline, as that may be considered just a little ''too'' weird (even for a wacky show like this) and JumpingTheShark.

[[WMG: There's a very long and horrific history of FantasticRacism in the ''[=BoJack=] Horseman'' world.]]
For most of (recorded) history, humans ruled over all the other animals, treating them as inferior creatures beneath any dignity. Domestic animals were treated as slaves, at best they were pets used as companions and laborers, or at worst they were livestock slaughtered for food. Wild animals were treated as savage tribes, and were also hunted for food.

Eventually most animals successfully fought for their freedom, however a minority of them continued to be drugged up and stupefied to become food (as seen in the "Chickens" episode). Also, some members of wild animal species (like deer) are similarly drugged up and then released to the woods, so that they can be shot with impunity by hunters.

[[WMG: There's a very long and horrific history of FantasticRacism in the ''[=BoJack=] Horseman'' world.]]
For most of (recorded) history, humans ruled over all the other animals, treating them as inferior creatures beneath any dignity. Domestic animals were treated as slaves, at best they were pets used as companions and laborers, or at worst they were livestock slaughtered for food. Wild animals were treated as savage tribes, and were also hunted for food.

Eventually most animals successfully fought for their freedom, however a minority of them continued to be drugged up and stupefied to become food (as seen in the "Chickens" episode). Also, some members of wild animal species (like deer) are similarly drugged up and then released to the woods, so that they can be shot with impunity by hunters.

[[WMG: Some theories regarding [[LandDownUnder this show's version of]] {{UsefulNotes/Australia}}.]]
* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War Emu War]] was a literal war. The [[UsefulNotes/AussiesWithArtillery Australian Army]] fought against a tribe of anthropomorphic emu birds (who were ethnically [[UsefulNotes/AustralianAborigines Aboriginal]]), and the former side somehow lost the conflict (or at least failed to exterminate the latter).
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Azaria_Chamberlain Azaria Chamberlain]] was [[ChildEater killed and eaten by]] [[EatsBabies a murderous anthropomorphic dingo]]. As a result, "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingoes_ate_my_baby Dingoes ate my baby!]]" became a rather [[FantasticRacism controversial]] [[BeamMeUpScotty misquote]].
* ''Film/CrocodileDundee'' also [[FantasticRacism attracted controversy]] due to the [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile crocodile attack scene]], which made these [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent reptiles look like savage beasts]].
* ''Film/KangarooJack'' was widely criticized and mocked for its depiction of [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia the titular character]], who was considered to be an [[NationalAnimalStereotypes Animal]] [[EthnicScrappy Scrappy]].
* [[Series/CrocodileHunter Steve Irwin]] was still killed by a stingray while diving. Only in this world, that stingray was arrested on murder charges.

[[WMG: Actors, creators, and other celebrities who are animals in this universe may include...]]
* Creator/MichaelRooker is Michael Rook, [[SpeciesSurname a rook]].
* Creator/SethGreen is a European green lizard, and was born Seth Lacerta Viridis-Green.
* Creator/JessicaAlba is Jessica Albatross, [[SpeciesSurname an albatross]].
* {{Music/Shakira}} [[ActorAllusion is a]] [[{{Disney/Zootopia}} gazelle]].
* Creator/GuillermoDelToro is [[BilingualBonus a bull]].
* Creator/BDWong is Black Dog "B. D." Wong, a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dog with black fur]], specifically a Chinese Imperial.
** The B.D. Wong one might not be possible, since [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS3E06BrrapBrrapPewPew "Brrap Brrap Pew Pew"]] already brought him up during the abortion conversation in [=MSNBSea=], and he was human.
* [[Series/QueerAsFolk Thea]] [[Series/DantesCove Gill]] is a yellowfish.
* Creator/RinkoKikuchi is a rabbit, playing off her TypeCasting as a woman of few words, and rabbits being thought of as generally quiet animals.
* Creator/MikeColter is [[PunnyName a horse]].
* US President UsefulNotes/HarrySTruman was a ''hairy'' woodpecker.
* Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel is a Bichon Frise.
* The members of Music/ManWithAMission are actual wolves instead of men in wolf masks.
* The members of {{Music/Coldplay}} are all chimpanzees as a reference to the AnimatedMusicVideo for "Adventure of a Lifetime".
* Music/KendrickLamar is Kendrick Duckworth, a duck. At one point, he meets Illinois senator Tammy Duckworth and is surprised to learn that she ''isn't'' a duck. Then professional baseball pitcher Brandon Duckworth, who is a duck, jumps out of a nearby closet and, for absolutely no reason, shouts out that English footballer Michael Duckworth [[OverlyLongGag also isn't a duck]].
* Creator/RyanGosling is a goose.
* Creator/DavidHarbour is a harbor seal.
* Creator/FinnWolfhard is a wolf.
* Creator/MeganFox is, [[CaptainObvious well, take a guess]].
** A Wire Fox Terrier? What? It'd make for a decent BaitAndSwitch joke in the show itself.
* Music/LionelRichie is a lion.
* Tiger Woods is a tiger.
* [[UsefulNotes/SpaceX Elon Musk]] is a rodent whose full name is [[MemeticMutation Elongated Muskrat]].
* Creator/EddieIzzard is a reptile named Eddie Lizard.
* Creator/MarkRuffalo is a bovine named Mark Buffalo.
* Creator/BuffaloBill was, despite what some might assume, ''not'' a literal buffalo; he was just a human with an animal nickname.
* Creator/MattDamon is... well actually, he's just a regular human. But according to some [[ConspiracyTheorist fringe corners of the Internet]], this guy's real birth name is ''Matt [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Daemon]]'', and he is TheAntichrist himself! [[note]](Though only if you choose to believe in all this crazy nonsense.)[[/note]]

[[WMG: Fictional characters who are animals instead of humans in-universe include...]]
* ''[[Franchise/TheDCU DC]] [[Creator/DCComics Comics]]'':
** ''{{Franchise/Batman}}'': Various characters (the ones with [[MeaningfulName animal codenames]], such as ComicBook/ThePenguin) might be literal animals. However, Batman himself is still a human dressed like a bat.
** ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Interestingly, there's a '''canon''' variation of this theory that appears in the actual show itself; during Season 5, the [[Creator/WarnerBros Warbler Bros.]] studio headquarters has a poster for a movie called ''[[Film/WonderWoman2017 Wonder Worm]]''.
* ''{{Franchise/Marvel|Universe}} [[Creator/MarvelComics Comics]]'':
** ''Franchise/SpiderMan'': The titular hero is obviously still a human with spider-like abilities. However, there's one amusingly major difference to his origin story: Peter Parker would've been bit by an irradiated spider that was also anthropomorphic. So just imagine a man-sized spider having a casual conversation with Peter, [[AmusingInjuries before biting him for no apparent reason]].
** ''Franchise/XMen'': {{ComicBook/Nightcrawler}} is an earthworm; a mutant earthworm with non-earthworm traits, like blue skin. Oh, and {{Franchise/Wolverine}} is obviously a literal wolverine, who just happens to have retractable metal claws.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** Sabine Wren of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' is a Sabine's gull.
** Finn is a melon-headed whale. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because fins, get it]]?
** Tarkin is a rat.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** Data, while still an android, looks like a brant/brent goose, played by [[Creator/BrentSpiner Brant Spiner]].
* ''{{ComicBook/Hellboy}}'':
** The titular protagonist is instead a harbor seal-like demon.
** Abe Sapien wouldn't be all that special in a world filled with anthropomorphic fish people, so he's a human who can do everything a fish can.
* ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'': Cobra Bubbles is a [[ADogNamedDog cobra]].
* ''{{Franchise/Clue}}'': Mrs. White is a wolfdog named Mrs. {{Literature/Whitefang}}.
* ''{{WebAnimation/RWBY}}'': Qrow is a crow.

[[WMG: A future episode in one of the later seasons will involve space aliens somehow.]]
Probably not in any serious plotline, as that may be considered just a little ''too'' weird (even for a wacky show like this) and JumpingTheShark. But perhaps somehow, there will be some rumors about someone (most likely [[ButtMonkey Todd]], [[WeirdnessMagnet given the strange misadventures he's been in]]) getting [[AlienAbduction kidnapped by aliens]]. This will be PlayedForLaughs of course, with the aliens being little different from humans or animals in appearance and behavior, and the whole thing being ([[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane probably]]) [[AllJustADream explainable as just a really weird dream or hallucination]] ([[OrWasItADream or not]]?).
