TV Funhouse

TV Funhouse is the title of a recurring skit on Saturday Night Live featuring cartoon animation by Robert Smigel, as well as a short-lived spinoff series that ran on Comedy Central. Most frequently drawn in the flat, low-budget style of Saturday morning superhero cartoons of the 1970s and 80s, TV Funhouse frequently satirizes public figures and corporations.

For example, one skit titled Titey poked fun at the rewriting of history of which some have accused Disney. The skit imagined a Disney version of Titanic including Napolean and Anne Frank as characters, and has the anthromorphized ship succeed in fighting off the iceberg instead of sinking. Another poke at Disney, Bambi 2002 imagined a sequel in which Bambi's mother turns up alive, and the title character fights Taliban-styled terrorists in the forest before performing a rap music number.

'Fun With Real Audio' segments are another frequent feature in TV Funhouse cartoons. These take recordings of actual events like presidential debates and celebrity interviews, re-arrange them for comedic effect, and set the sound against the backdrop of outrageous cartoons.


Among the skit's most popular recurring characters:

  • The New Adventures of Mr. T. - The aforementioned former A-Team star, desperate to find work and aggressively auditioning for parts in classical theatre, and in a tampon commercial.
