Fans of the groundbreaking Comedy Central series TV Funhouse know that "sophomoric humor" is no insult, but a high badge of honor. This series--only for grownups, Mom and Dad--took the conceit of a kids' show, complete with puppets, live animals, a goofy host, and cartoon, and peppered the whole menu with enough crass jokes of every stripe to reduce viewers to helpless giggles. The boxed set features eight full episodes, each of which has more gross, but hilarious, bits than an average Farrelly brothers or Judd Apatow film. Hapless host Doug (Doug Dale) tries to wrangle his kiddie-show "Anipals," who consist of real dogs and cats, but also crude, fouled-mouthed puppets like Chickie the Rooster, Fogey the Dog (voiced by subversive creator Robert Smigel), and his cousin, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who would go on to his own fame and fortune as Conan O'Brien's sidekick.
Each episode involves adventures of the Anipals--off to Tijuana for a cockfight (where Chickie comes out the worse for wear), Atlantic City to catch Triumph's gig and run into Robert Goulet (who appears, a great sport, as himself), to an animal lab where the Pals envision lucrative new careers for themselves. The humor is gross, and the outtakes in this set even more so (is there such a thing as animal porn?) Guest stars appearing gleefully include George Wendt and John Ritter, and memorable, but R-rated cartoons include the adventures of "Wonderman," and "Stedman." --A.T. Hurley

- Even better than I remembered!I was so glad they finally released this on DVD. It was even better than I remembered! A must have for those of us with sick senses of humor.

- Comedic perfection; easily Comedy Central's best series ever...I have been waiting for this series to be released on DVD for eight years, since I bought my first DVD player, and finally, it has arrived. I simply cannot understand why it took so long, based on its presumably enormous cult following (basically, everyone that's ever seen it has been waiting for its DVD release as impatiently as I have), but let's not dwell on that any longer.
"TV funhouse" trumps even "The Simpsons" (when I mention "The Simpsons," I mean the show that existed before ... Read More

- Classic - and more than a little underratedEver hear of Wonder Showzen? It was on MTV2 for two seasons and went way overboard on more than a couple of occasions. If you already know what I'm talking about and haven't seen TV Funhouse, you need this one now. Total comic nirvana - as in "analogous to the band that influenced scores of bands after it". This one went over the edge long (three years or so) before Wonder Showzen was warping minds.
Far more subversively offensive as well when you consider some of the skits/cartoons they ... Read More
Rating:
- One of the underappreciated shows form Comedy CentralThis show was basically a full-blown spin-off of the "Triumph The Comic Dog" character from Late Night with Conan O'Brien, as well as the "TV Funhouse" cartoons from SNL, and it shows, as Robert Smigel, the man behind the dog, has a whole show all to himself, and it's full of all the TV funhouse and vulgar puppet goodness you'd expect from a guy who did the same things on Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien.
Very graphic and obscene, but incredibly funny in a LOT of ways.
Rating:
- Probably the funniest show to ever be cancelled after only 8 episodes.Thank god this has finally been released. Now the poor quality bootleg VHS tapes on online auction sites are a thing of the past. We have waited 8 years for this! Wow I can't believe it has been so long.
By the way: in case you are wondering, this is the hilarious and short lived show from Comedy Central. This is not a collection of the unfunny sketches from SNL with the same name.
