Amy's Dead End Dreamhouse is a 2025 web video starring Maggie Mae Fish, a take-off on kid's shows like Pee-wee's Playhouse except Amy has to deal with adult problems like friend breakups and struggling to make rent.
Tropes for the series:
- Dr. Jerk: The only doctor Amy can afford comes in dressed in unshaven in a stained coat, diagnoses her depression as "woman, hysterical" and eats a sandwich during the checkup.
- Hypocritical Humor: TeeVee complains about Amy getting a letter from someone who isn't even an established character, and a random talking toaster appears to agree.
- Hand Puppet: Amy interacts with various puppets like Mike the Microwave and Quak the Snake.
- Mushroom Samba: Amy takes some drugs and meets The Grim Reaper himself.
- Parody Commercial: Every episode! For things like "Drinkable Lava Lamps" or for legal services for people who drank lava lamps.
- Remember the New Guy?: An never-before-seen toaster appears to complain about people showing up randomly in Amy's life.
- Stay in the Kitchen: Mike the Microwave tells Amy that she belongs in the kitchen, which Amy points out is rich coming from a microwave.
- Sting: Subverted. Amy tries to play a dramatic sting on tape but she plays the wrong side and only gets a recording of her practicing singing "Danny Boy."
- Subverted Kids' Show: A kids show for adults!
- Talking Appliance Sidekick: TeeVee the TV, who is a talking television, and Mike the Microwave, a talking microwave.
- Take That!: "Gazpacho really is a dip, even though I understand culturally you want it to be a soup."
