Sifl and Olly

The Sifl and Olly Show is a puppet show that used sock puppets and animation. Musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco, friends since childhood, created and performed the series. The show's first episode aired on MTV in 1997 and was cancelled in 1999. Marked by cheap production and bizarre humor, the series only aired two seasons, but became a cult favorite.

Regular segments

Often preceded by familiar intro screen and a short theme song, the segments included:

• Precious Roy's Home Shopping Network - a parody of the Home Shopping Network with bizarre products like Civil War Corpses and CAT Scan Glasses. The network was run by Precious Roy, who would yell unrelated lines, ending with "suckers!". The slogan of Precious Roy was "making lots of suckers out of girls and boys."
• Calls From the Public - Sifl and Olly would take calls supposedly from "the public", but they were just random and often bizarre characters (usually sock puppets) who would call with problems or complaints.
• Rock Facts - At commercial breaks, the Rock Facts question would be asked and answered when they returned. The answers were always lies and often involved the singer Björk. The intro screen for this segment featured a rock on fire.
• Interview Time - Guests interviewed included Death, an atom, and the G-spot. Sometimes they would announce a famous person that was going to be interviewed, but it would always turn out that the guest couldn't make it.
• Sifl & Olly News - Sifl and Olly would pretend to report on the (generally surreal) news.
