Laser eyes sifl and olly8/18/2023 ![]() There are a number of running segments in the show: He is much more excitable and is prone to sudden irrational enthusiasms for dressing like David Bowie or becoming a pretentious performance artist. Olly is white, with a tuft of bright yellow hair and a little doggy nose. Sifl is dark green with light green "hair" (kinda looks like dandelion leaves, actually) he is the more mature and responsible of the two, you can tell he's the one who does all the paperwork and writes the checks. Judging by their attitudes and voices, these sock puppets seem to be in their very early twenties. A lot of the appeal of the show is not in actual jokes or gags, but in the lively and likeable personalties of the guys in the socks. The show was created by longtime chums Matt Crocco and Liam Lynch, who basically did everything themselves literally in the kitchen with low tech stuff you could buy at Radio Shack. But I've also seen people watch the show with a blank uncomprehending stare, so it's obviously not for everyone. ![]() I personally find their comedy very inventive, original and hilarious in a bizarro way. Sifl and Olly inhabit the Sock Puppet Universe, where they run their own TV show featuring interviews, skits and songs. As it is, I went through one of my occasional bouts of intense obsession at the time and taped every episode I could catch. maybe keeping an eye on eBay or might turn them up. ![]() (Feh) All three seasons of SIFL & OLLY were reportedly available on DVD at some point but I've never found them. There was a third season filmed but it was never aire as MTV thought its sleazy REAL WORLD shows and crass CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH were more sophisticated and enlightened. SIFL & OLLY aired on MTV in 19, usually shown at 12:30 AM or some other inaccessible hour. Whoa, this is going to be a little hard to explain if you've never seen it. ![]()
