Reviews

Tommy Nelson stars: Doug Dale as Host Doug and puppet Jeffy the duck. Robert Smigel as Fogey, Rocky the lobster, Xabu and Triumph the insult comic dog. Dino Stamatopoulos as Whiskers and Chickie. Jon Glasser as Hojo the turtle. Dave Juskow as Larry the mosquito.Okay, this is a weird show..let me tell you! It's host is Doug, a stereotypical children's show host that lives in a house with several puppet animals called the Anipals. Doug is totally G-rated, but the Anipals cuss and drink and do all kinds of bad things. While there was the plot with the Anipals, there are also short films. Its a sketch show too. Some of the sketches include, Fetal Scooby Doo, Black Sabbath cartoon, Porn for Everyone, Mischivous Mitchell(spoof of Dennis the Menace), Ambiguously Gay Duo and many others. The sketches were cool, considering they were sometimes cartoons, sometimes real life and sometimes they were clay animated. My personal favorite sketch was Joecamal, a cigarette based spoof of Pokemon. TV Funhouse was a great show that some find offensive and bad, but was so funny! Based on the short cartoons featured on Saturday Night Live, which were also written by Robert Smigel.rating-TVMA. 8 episodes my rating-B plus.
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.
blee1134 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
Casey-55 This show is what Comedy Central needs. Good stuff. Its obvious the creator is ballsy enough to snub his nose at censors and for that I applaud him. Who out there wish there was a show with puppets that was as nasty as the puppet shows we made as kids? C'mon now! This makes up for the other shows which just plain sucked, like Strip Mall and the League of Gentlemen (Which they thankfully canceled).
