[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/arfenhouse ''Arfenhouse''] was a series of RPGs and Flash movies made by a group of disturbed internet celebrities who, in their 15 minutes of fame, were collectively known as Disaster Labs. They released their first Flash movie in 2002. After the movie series "Arfenhouse: The Movie 1-4" was released piece by piece on [[Newgrounds]], it became popular enough to get its own IRC channel, #arfenhouse.
 
The games were [[Stylistic Suck|intentionally made to look awful]], which was reflected in the Flash series in all the character designs.
Line 12:
* Joseph is one of the only fully-drawn characters, a humanoid character from another RPG who [[Fish Out of Water|got warped into Arfenhouse]]. He tries to play the [[Straight Man]] role, but nobody listens to him.
* Woogy is one of many round, two-colored ball guys who frequently trade non-sequiturs with each other and the other characters.
* Billy is the main villain of the series, an 8-year old brat represented by a yellow ball with a face, who tries to make popular Flash movies using stolen content (i.e. copyrighted video game characters), among other methods of gaining notoriety.

Line 60:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Mind Screw]]: Oh boy, where do we start?
* [[Non -Standard Character Design]]: The characters are depicted in so many different styles, it would probably be safe to say that ''Arfenhouse'' has no standard character design.
* [[Numbered Sequels]]: Played with by the movie series, which goes straight from 4 to 6.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Poor Joseph.
Line 71:
* [[Shout-Out]]: "h0lD THIZ. TY!!!!! [[Metal Slug|h3v33 M@SH33NGNU!!!!!!]]"
** [[Overdrawn at the Memory Bank|"I AM INTERFACE!"]]
* [[Take That]]: Done to the many crappy [[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8BT]] ripoffs flooding Newgrounds at the time <ref>a [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]] rant in ''8-Bitch Fyve'' elaborates on this.</ref> twice: once in the beginning for Arfenhouse 2, the other as a standalone move entitled [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/214733 8-Bitch Fyve]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: A [http://misteroo.deviantart.com/art/Arfenhouse-9-Cover-Art-106469721 teaser poster for Arfenhouse 9] appeared on Misteroo's [[Deviant ART]] page on 2008. Nothing ever materialized, however, and Misteroo was never seen again. Disaster Labs itself closed down in 2010.
