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.

I hadn't seen a show this vulgar since SOUTH PARK. Just like SOUTH PARK, the laughs come from the vulgarity. In a few short weeks, TV FUNHOUSE became my favorite show so I was sad to hear that it was canceled. It should have been on for longer than it was because it was an extremely hilarious show!
... View MoreFirst off, this show is fantastic, if you can appreciate the humor. Comedy Central puts out shows that try to be a lot funnier than they are... Sports Night is a perfect example. TV Funhouse is intended for people who grew up on gross cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, and are looking for an adult cartoon of that same flavor (since none of the current Ren and Stimpy knock-offs on Cartoon Network even come close). I've been searching for a show like that for years, and TV Funhouse really does the trick... my only complaint is that the host, Doug, just really bites. Typical Comedy Central Original Series trash (I don't count South Park as a Comedy Central Original Series, as it wasn't created by them). The rest is great, though.

So when Comedy Central announced it was doing a series based on these inserts, I thought it had promise. I mean, it had to be better than crap like Strip Mall, The Man Show & The League of Gentlemen, right? But no, they've topped themselves again.First of all, there is about one animated short per show. The rest is a bunch of crappy puppets saying dirty words and humping real animals. I realize this is a never-ending stream of hilarity to the moron population, but really - are these the same people responsible for the SNL cartoons?All in all, top notch humour and very entertaining - if your drunk and six-years-old.
