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.

This show is great. it is 2nd funniest show on comedy central(behind south park), and maybe the second funniest on T.V. the anipals are hillarious, and Doug is great. the cartoons are even better. this show is great. rating= 10 out of 10

Now I personally enjoyed some of the TV Funhouse cartoons that aired during Saturday Night Live over the past few years, especially the fun with real audio bits. 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.

Not since "Meet the Feebles" have puppets been used for such evil purposes. "TV Funhouse" is pure gold: a demented kiddie variety show with some reality skits thrown in (a method taken, I'm guessing, from the hidden-camera end credit shots from "The Upright Citizens Brigade") and a few animated shorts to fill out the rest of the half hour, all three shockingly, hilariously obscene.The twisted scenes involving the drug-using, cannibalistic, necrophiliac Anipals are jaw-dropping, to say the least; the Christmas special involved them injecting a hypodermic needle into the spine of their good-natured host in order to extract some "Christmas spirit," then cutting the pinkish substance and selling it on the street (not to mention using it heavily themselves). If that's where the episodes starts, imagine the ending.Robert Smigel's animated sequences are, it seems, what he would have done earlier had "Saturday Night Live" not been on a broadcast channel: the usual use of impersonated celebrities and wacky situations is raised to grotesque new levels, making it much, much funnier.A show that is nearly impossible to describe, the kind of thing which becomes mind-numbing when described by a breathless, giggling friend, "TV Funhouse" in its undiluted first-hand form is one of the funniest shows Comedy Central has produced in a while, rivaling "Strangers with Candy" and "The Upright Citizens Brigade" in crudeness, giddy hilarity, and sheer ballsiness. Highly recommended for those with strong stomachs and a low tolerance for political correctness.
