JUST KIDDING TV Funhouse looks like children's TV, but there's a more adult sensibility at play beneath the surface

DVD Release Date: Jul 22, 2008

After the success of Saturday Night Live's ''TV Funhouse'' segments, Robert Smigel hatched this short-lived, off-color variety show, which approximates Pee-wee's Playhouse minus all good vibes. The conceit: Host Doug Dale gamely introduces each episode's theme, then his foulmouthed ''anipals'' abandon him for, say, a cockfight or a brothel. Onslaughts of scatological and sexual humor follow. Pitch-perfect cartoon parodies like ''Fetal Scooby-Doo'' and ''Wonderman'' might attract tykes, but beware: Even the EXTRAS — blue episode commentaries and outtakes — are strictly adults-only fare.
