STUPID!

Skippy Shorts is a... unique puppet–based Youtube channel run by "NearFar Productions". It stars an insane puppet named Skippy, who mainly retells classic stories in his own "style" and answers E–Mail questions, along with an ensemble of other crazy puppets, including his "friend" Finney, a weird white animal, a trigger happy cop and his friend Iggy the Iguana, a senile sociopath named Rufus T., and many, many others. Almost every video ends with Skippy yelling "Stupid!", which perfectly sums up the channel's whole style and tone. The channel can be seen here.
