The Sifl and Olly show
The Sifl and Olly Show was a TV comedy that used sock puppets, animation, and music. Musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco, friends since childhood, created and performed the series. The first episode aired on MTV in 1997 and the show was canceled in 1999.
Personally I still remember that show with love. Watching it after hours on UK MTV was the best way to end the night and sober-out after abusive partying out.
But apart from my personal memories, this was an alternative look to the GenX and the satire, cynicism and stupidity of the talking socks put things in a different perceptive. I’m sure new generations of youths would have things to say alike and benefit from this sort of entertainment.
