TV Funhouse is a comedy and animation TV series that premiered on Comedy Central on December 6, 2000. It has 1 season and 8 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 1 Episode 8 "Chinese New Year's Day", aired on January 24, 2001.
In this spin-off of the Saturday Night Live TV Funhouse cartoons, happy-go-lucky Doug hosts a children's show in the vein of Pee-wee's Playhouse, wherein he chooses a theme for the day (Caveman Day, Western Day, Spaceman Day, Mexicans Day, etc.) and encourages his puppet friends, the Anipals, to participate. Of course, the depraved felt animals are far more interested in other activities, including going to a cockfight, visiting a bordello, becoming lab tests, and even getting (literally) high on Christmas cheer!

The Anipals ditch the Funhouse to enter the lucrative, glamorous world of laboratory animal testing, as Doug celebrates Chinese New Year's Day and makes fireworks with a panda.
Still in Atlantic City, the Anipals attempt to 'unstick' Triumph before his big show. At the Funhouse, Doug tries to achieve weightlessness while dressed as an astronaut.
The Anipals travel to Atlantic City to visit Fogey's old friend, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, where Chickie falls in love with a chimpstitute. Meanwhile, Doug goes on a safari and ends up with a rash from a tropical plant.
The Anipals compare New Year's resolutions: Hojo wants to learn the saxophone, Chickie hangs out with his brother with Tourette syndrome, and Fogey must resist eating his own poop. Meanwhile, Doug dresses as a caveman and builds a dinosaur skeleton out of baby back ribs, and Rocky the Fish takes a group of kids to visit a cookie factory.
The Anipals appear on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show to get endangered lizard Dave laid. Doug is left to celebrate Mexicans Day with a tequila worm and a Puerto Rican Mexican-food delivery guy.
The Anipals tap Doug's spine to extract his Christmas cheer. One of Chickie's sons helps to turn the cheer into powder, and the Anipals become addicts.
Doug and Rocky the Fish have a luau all by themselves while the Anipals help Chickie rescue his 95th son, Jason, from a cult.
Doug must wrangle up his own fun when the Anipals ditch him for high times south of the border in Tijuana.
