The series has been likened by some fans to [[Creator/DavidFirth David Firth's]] works such as WebAnimation/SaladFingers and WebAnimation/SpoilsburyToastBoy. The series is very NotSafeForWork, full of sexual imagery, and pretty disturbing, but it has a touch of SurrealHumor.

Although a human did that to him, his [[ParentalNeglect uncaring parents]] certainly didn't help him deal with the trauma.

''Alfred's Playhouse'' is one of the most [[MindScrew surreal,]] [[DerangedAnimation disturbing,]] and NightmareFuel filled web video series on the internet. The series is about a traumatized, mentally ill dog named Alfred Alfer, who tries to forget about his abusive childhood by [[ThinkHappyThoughts imagining himself in a happy fantasy world]]. In the videos, his alter-ego, Dictator Pickles, emerges, who is an AxCrazy psychopath who dreams of [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]]. Alfred also shows himself to be [[IJustWantToBeLoved incredibly needy and lonely]], and he's often forced out of his fantasy land by harsh reality.
