In this spin-off of the Saturday Night Live TV Funhouse cartoons, happy-go-lucky Doug hosts a children's show in the vein of Pee-wee's Playhouse, wherein he chooses a theme for the day (Caveman Day, Western Day, Spaceman Day, Mexicans Day, etc.) and encourages his puppet friends, the Anipals, to participate. Of course, the depraved felt animals are far more interested in other activities, including going to a cockfight, visiting a bordello, becoming lab tests, and even getting (literally) high on Christmas cheer!

TV Funhouse Audience Reviews

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

david_hands_of_fate No doubt canceled because of what must have been an avalanche of lawsuits, this show strove to offend everyone. The most shocking thing about this show really was that Comedy Central let it be killed. It was truly awesome. Robert Smigel is a vicious satirist in the tradition of Monty Python. Like Monty Python, much of his satire goes unnoticed, or people just don't see the irony in it. What few episodes were made are funny enough to make you wet your pants.

Brett_Buck This show was funny for a while. But there's a real limit to how much of this sort of thing a sane person can watch. Some of the cartoons were excellent - I particularly liked "Fetal Scooby-Doo" and "Dennis the Menace" as a toxic anti-Semite - others were dumb. And some of the segments made even ME want to turn off the TV and read a book. Honestly, I could have lived a full and complete life never having seen an talking endangered lizard in bondage. It wore thin very quickly, which really should be much of a surprise, given it started as occasional skit on SNL. I find it hard to believe that anyone would put this in the same league as "South Park", this was a real one-note shock show with no semblance of wit.

blukat14 i think this show is pretty funny. i love that cat who wears the tie, hes so funny. this show is weird and makes no sense, but thats what makes it good! no one should actually take this show seriously. it is meant to be dumb! anipals are da COO'EST

Jdc102 First off, when I first heard they were making a show out of the "TV FUNHOUSE" cartoon on SNL, I thought it would be very funny. I love the TVFUNHOUSE on SNL.I tuned in the first two times and didn't think it was anything special, but after about 3-4 episodes I began to like it more. I must say that I think it would be a lot funnier if they "toned" the show down a bit more, some of the stuff is just sick, but others are funny in a weird sort of way. Bottom Line: Not classic comedy, but worth a look..Robert Smigel is cool.Thank You
