built 256 days ago
Smigel continued to establish himself on Saturday Night Live by producing infamous, provocative, short animated segments under the title TV Funhouse, which usually satirizes public figures and popular culture. It spawned a TV show on Comedy Central featuring a mix of puppets, animation, and short sketches. Although only eight episodes were aired (during the winter of 2000 - 2001) Smigel continues to create TV Funhouse segments for Saturday Night Live and occasionally appears in films (usually alongside SNL veterans such as Adam Sandler). According to interviews, Smigel helped punch up the scripts for Little Nicky and the Wedding Singer. He was Also in Wayne's World 2 and played as a Super Nerd in a concert backstage. His contributions were uncredited.

You guys need to get a hold of a TiVo of the Robert Smigel animated short from the April 21 episode of Saturday Night Live. Bush and Cheney have a robot at Gitmo that electrifies the genitals and urinates on the poor, innocent inmates, and ... flushes korans down the toilet in front of those same poor, innocent inmates, because see, the Geneva conventions only apply to human soldiers, not robots, so this is how the evil Chimpy McBushitler and his sidekick Cheney can get away with this behavior at Gitmo, which of course is actually happening in real life.
