''TV Funhouse'' was a television show aired by Creator/ComedyCentral in 2000. It is [[SpinOff spun off]] from the "TV Funhouse" segments of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''.
The show is deliberately made to resemble a kids show, but is actually a ''very'' adult parody of such shows. The host of the show, a man named Doug, presents each episode as a special day to celebrate something (e.g. one episode was "Mexican Day", another was "Caveman Day", etc.). Doug has animal puppets called the Anipals as friends... who never really care about what Doug has planned for the day and spend each episode tackling a problem of their own. There are also various segments scattered throughout the show, both recurring and one-off, that tend to be animated.

!!This show provides examples of these tropes:
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Subverted and parodied in a segment explaining how it's against the word of God to... have a bowel movement before you're old enough.
* AntiChristmasSong: An animated segment from the Christmas episode, "Tingles the Christmas Tension", is a song about the eponymous personification of Christmas tension that parodies the "Hardrock, Coco and Joe" song that used to air on Chicago television.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Parodied in the "The Baby, The Immigrant, and the Guy on Mushrooms" segment from the first episode, where the mom entrusts her cat Artemis to babysit the baby, the immigrant, and the guy on mushrooms for her. By the end of the segment, Artemis is almost completely covered in a cast.
