An article detailing canon and non-canon Alfred AlferAlfred's Playhouse is one of the most surreal and disturbing 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 imagining himself in a happy fantasy world. In the videos, his alter-ego, Dictator Pickles, emerges, who is an Ax-Crazy psychopath who dreams of world domination. Alfred also shows himself to be incredibly needy and lonely, and he's often forced out of his fantasy land by harsh reality.The series has been likened by some fans to David Firth's works such as Salad Fingers and Spoilsbury Toast Boy. The series is very Not Safe for Work, as it has full of sexual imagery, and has pretty disturbing themes, but it has a touch of Surreal Humor.Alfred's Playhouse was created by Emily Youcis, who based the series largely on her own life experiences. A full-length movie of the series was produced in 2017. While her YouTube channel was terminated due to her advocacy of neo-nazism, the videos can still be viewed on her Newgrounds account, found here. |

Psychopathic Manchild: In a nutshell, Alfred is the manchild, and Dictator Alfred is the psychopathic one. Alfred is shown to be an adult and having a job, but he acts very much like a child, and his fantasy world is like a surreal version of Pee-wee's Playhouse. Dictator Pickles is cold, power-hungry, and generally Ax-Crazy. |

I Just Want to Be Loved: Alfred. He is pretty desperate to get other people to love and accept him, and is very needy. |

Abusive Parents: Alfred mentions in a song that his parents left him at Goodwill and once tried to drown him in the bathtub. When he was sexually abused by a human, his parents were completely unfazed and did nothing to help him with his trauma. |

Break Them by Talking: Dictator Pickles' speech. He explains who he is, what the Playhouse is, what his plans are, and how Alfred is powerless to stop him. Alfred is left with no other choice than to give up power over his body and his dignity, submitting to his new master. |

Historical Villain Upgrade: Reasonably Justified in the case of Beria, possibly an Exploited Trope as well. Via social medi, Emily writes in a history lesson to her politically unknowledged audience of Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, Josef Stalin'sappointed head of the KGB, who would kidnap unsuspecting schoolgirls off the street and sexually abuse them. By the premise of Playhouse, Beria, supposedly, had somehow warped to the present to invade the Playhouse and begin sexually abusing Alfred, causing Stockhold Syndrome. Furthermore, his complete mental breakdown and finally led him end the world. |

comment |
Lilliputians: In Alfred's Playhouse Part 2, in the beginning of the video Alfred tells the audience that he secretly has "friends living inside my wall." Then, tons of little elf-like creatures climb all over Alfred, fondling him, vomiting on him, and defacating everywhere while Alfred laughs. For a full minute or so. And his laughter soon turns into a screaming meltdown. The fact that the start of that sequence (prior to the creatures swarming Alfred) and the designs of the creatures themselves is very clearly a reference to The Littles somehow makes it much, much worse. |
