It is 100% a reference. Rick and Morty has a lot of random references so why not Bojack Horseman, since they have a lot of overlapping themes and both are very popular animated shows
They usually outright state the titles of movies and shows they reference, including referring to what they’re doing as a movie title by using it as a verb (“Rick, is this a ‘SAW’ game? Are you seriously ‘SAW’-ing The Vindicators?”) Although they probably do have a ton of background stuff I miss. This is pretty blatant for Bojack fans, though, so you’re definitely right about it being in our faces.

I feel like usually the references is just something going on in the background for like 3 frames. This is pretty much in your face
