Comedy Central's TV Funhouse DVD is a two-disc set featuring all eight uncensored episodes and bonus materials, such as commentaries by creators Robert Smigel and Dino Stamatopoulos and host Doug Dale, appearances by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on Comedy Central, dirty outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage and video commentary with Anipals Chickie, Jason, Xabu and Dave.

Comedy Central's TV Funhouse centers around Doug (played by Doug Dale), the cheerful host of the show, and "the Anipals," a stable of puppet animals and live animals. The Anipals have their own personalities and neuroses including Xabu, the puppet dog who constantly chases its tail to no avail and Hojo, the puppet turtle who travels through toilets. Doug tries to present a show for children each week, but his foul-mouthed Anipal friends always seem to desert him, becoming involved in wild adventures and real-life situations. Back on the set, Doug is left alone to introduce the animated cartoons and filmed shorts.
