The cat is a dead ringer for Mr. Jinx from Pixie and Dixie and the Woman is a great throwback to the old Tom and Jerry cartoons where you only saw the humans legs. They even have classic construction site routine, it shows a great respect for classic cartoons!
Way cool video! I am so honored that I was able to share in a panel discuss with Stedman Graham and such an esteemed group of entrepreneurs. When I look at defining events and factors of my life, this was definitely one of them!
No, these animated shorts, produced by writer Robert Smigel, were called "TV Funhouse" on SNL. They included "Fun with Real Audio", "The Ambiguously Gay Duo", "The Baby, the Immigrant and the Guy on Mushrooms", "The Ex-Presidents", "Heter-Roy", among others.
There was also "TV Funhouse" featuring the Ani-Pals, which aired on Comedy Central. I think that was also produced by Smigel, and it featured Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, as one of the Ani-Pals, if I am not mistaken.
Really, the SNL TV Funhouse had The Baby, Immigrant, guy on mushrooms short? I've seen the other cartoons on SNL, but the one on Comedy Central is where I first saw this short and its sequel. TV Funhouse on comedy central had the same types of cartoons, but they were all originals, and not taken from the SNL shorts. Triumph was in two episodes, but was just a guest character.
the only thing i dont get is , why is the woman a giant at the end?...or should i say why r the imm/baby/shroom dude so small?...anyone notice she gave the three gifts to the wrong people/...lol...this was the second episode of this spoof , the first was a LOT funnier
This cartoon perfectly spoofs some of the '70s TV 'toons that were so minimal, that they were the same episode over and over. Best example, "It's The Wolf" from "Cattenooga Cats".
HOW IS THIS FUNNY? Do you have to be on mushrooms or something? Uhhhhhhhh.

i understand this now :O
The baby is a newborn and that`s why its so fascinated with everything.
The immigrant finds the things in that country very different then the once in his own country and thats why hes so fascinated.
The guy on mushrooms probably hallucinates and is in a different reality and thats why things look so beautiful to him :D

Does anyone have TV Funhouse's Belated Black History Moment sketch?

This is why you don't trust a cat to look after people.
Funny also how the immigrant was just as easily spaced-out and unable to take care of himself as the other two.

I wish TV Funhouse were out on DVD, the animation was a riot. I loved the Ambiguously Gay Duo, and Fun with Real Audio, and the Ex-Presidents!

I think you're mistaking the show TV Funhouse with the SNL shorts, Both made by the same guy, but this was from the Comedy Central show.

They should add a Smurf to the group. The way he would go, "OOOH AAAH!" all the time, he'd fit right in.
