If you're looking for the most profound and unique narrative superpowers available to fiction using anthropomorphic animal characters, you can hardly find a better example than BoJack Horseman de-familiarizing the condition, in a world full of people in deep social-existential conflict, that most of us refer to each other by names we clearly didn't choose for ourselves. Its cynical games with stereotypes are humorous because they recall our own struggle to exist plainly, characterized or not.
