If you loved Meet the Feebles, try these.

Team America: World Police poster 01

Movie / 2004 / Action / Adventure / Animation / Comedy

Team America: World Police

Why this pick

Its deliberately artificial puppetry, gleefully tasteless sexual humour, musical-show framing and escalating mayhem make it a close tonal cousin to Feebles’ savage backstage spectacle.

The Happiness of the Katakuris poster 02

Movie / 2001 / Horror / Comedy / Drama

The Happiness of the Katakuris

Why this pick

This wildly tonal family musical moves through cheerful songs, morbid absurdity and bursts of stop-motion, matching Feebles’ anything-goes showbiz energy.

Fritz the Cat poster 03

Movie / 1972 / Animation / Comedy / Drama

Fritz the Cat

Why this pick

Like Feebles, it weaponizes anthropomorphic animals for aggressively adult, grubby satire rather than comfort, with a deliberately disreputable countercultural edge.

Taxidermia poster 04

Movie / 2006 / Drama / Horror / Comedy

Taxidermia

Why this pick

For Feebles’ appetite for extravagant bad taste, this offers stylized body-horror grotesquerie, pitch-black comedy and an unflinching escalation of excess.

The Greasy Strangler poster 05

Movie / 2016 / Comedy / Horror / Thriller

The Greasy Strangler

Why this pick

Its deadpan ugliness, repetitive absurdist jokes and candy-coloured sleaze capture the same commitment to making viewers laugh and recoil at once.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

The eponymous theatre troupe is rehearsing the title song with hopes of finding success through being picked up for a Broadcast syndication television show. Heidi (a hippopotamus), the star of the show, is insulted by pornographic director Trevor (a rat) and complains to her boss and lover, Bletch (a walrus), who is actually in an Adultery with Samantha (a cat). Meanwhile, Robert (a hedgehog), the newest member of the team, arrives at the theatre and Love at first sight with another newcomer, Lucille (a poodle). Samantha confronts Heidi, insults her, and reveals her relationship with Bletch. Robert confesses his love to Lucille, and the two become engaged. Sid (an elephant) receives a visit from his ex-girlfriend Sandy (a chicken) with his alleged son Seymour (an improbable-looking elephant/chicken hybrid). Sandy informs him she will be preparing a paternity case against him.
