TV funhouse. OMG is it bad (as in borderline offensive) [mature]

tonight's episode was horrible(although I laughed my but off). It wasn't offesive to me, but I could very easily see many people being offended. The Jokamel (pokemon parody with Joe Camel) was fairly graphic sexually. his nose was a penis, they had a toy "tickle his nose till he sneezes" well at that point a white creamy liquid shot out
"fetus scooby doo"
a monkey whacking off a chameleon (they didn't show that) and then the monkey coming out with a container of whiteish liquid

they really pushed the limit on taste

I wouldn't mind seeing that one. I saw a couple of other episodes and really didn't enjoy them. Good if you like puppet animals, I suppose.

I'd seen parts of episodes in the past that weren't funny, but this episode was, even though it was really pushing the limits on taste for tv
I'm starting to sound like my dad
I could see him flipping out big time if he saw it

If this show would cut out all the damn puppet scenes with the main character, it might actually be decent.

I've never found this show funny, and this is coming from someone who loves radically offensive comedy shows. This one just isn't funny to me. The joke around animals acting offensively was funny once ... they need more than that. Every episode seems dry and boring.

The shorts are hilarious. Especially the ones about mnemonics and the ones with the superhero whose mission is to get his alter ego laid. The anipals are embarassingly bad and totally unfunny.

If they would ever release the collected short films of Robert Smigel on DVD, I would buy that.
