''[[The Sifl and Olly Show]]'' was a comedy show on [[MTV]] with sock puppets, animation, and music. Created and performed by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco, friends since childhood. The first episode aired in 1997, and the show was canceled in 1999.
Line 9:
The show is always very simple and low-budget, showing only the characters and [[Chroma Key|background images or animation]]. The two co-hosts often have a microphone in front of them. The show has an unscripted feel, with the characters talking to each other in a realistic, conversational style. Sifl and Olly sing both original and classic songs throughout the show, with an original song at the end. Though it featured puppets, the series was not intended for children. The humor often featured profanity, sexual references, drug innuendo, crude humor, bodily functions, and violence.
Regular segments included ''"Precious Roy's Home Shopping Network",'' where Olly would briefly lose what sanity he had left to sell very dangerous or impossible products to people; "''Calls From the Public''", which is [[Exactly What It Says

* [[The Ace]]: ''Zafo''. Musician ''extraordinaire''. Able to play 15+hour shows(on top of Mt. Rushmore!) without batting an eyelid. His voice itself is musical(he talks Vocoder/electric-guitar-like). When he calls the show, the boys can only bask in his awesome in fanboyish glee. He is ''so'' awesome, the Earth has been saved from destruction(twice!) by the mere mention of his name.
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Many of Sifl and Olly's guests. One notable occasion was when they interviewed an orgasm and his sidekick the G-spot.

'''Orgasm:''' "Man, how do you ''think'' I feel?"
'''S&O:''' "...probably pretty damn good." }}
** [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"This one's on the house."]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: An odd running joke where the answer to the rock trivia question is (falsely) "Bjork", leading Olly to lose his head over the impugning of Bjork's reputation (evidently
* [[Biting the Hand Humor]]: When it became apparent that [[MTV]] didn't give a damn about the show.
* [[Body Horror]]
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Clone Degeneration]]: The first couple of clones which come out of Sifl's cloning machine are fine, but it quickly begins pumping out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd0fFWban-Y very substandard models.]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Primarily Chester, but both Sifl and Olly have their moments as well. Precious Roy is an extreme case, since he primarily shouts gibberish.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Eye Beams]]: Olly's got laser eyes, and he knows what you're thinking.
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Shows up in person once or twice. [[Don't Fear the Reaper|Pretty nice guy.]] Little bit eccentric.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Sifl and Olly, since childhood.
* [[Honest John's Dealership]]: The "Precious Roy" ads, which are always ridiculous, either because they're obviously fake (chicken-flavored air conditioning - a fan with a chicken wing on the front), or because they rationally ''should not'' exist, but do. (A bottomless swimming pool.)
* [[Hot
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Olly has contemplated eating Sifl at times.
** Also during one Aesop Jones segment, a kitchen accident turns his [[Body Horror|brains into mashed potatoes]] which his co-host eagerly devours.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Sifl pulls this on Olly, but it's likely just a throwaway gag.
* [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]]: During the "Precious Roy" segments...

'''Olly''': "Sifl, you got some serious ass [WHAT SIFL SAID] problems!" }}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Sifl, sometimes.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
* [[Real After All]]: During one "Precious Roy" segment, Olly claims to have power over lightning, Sifl disparages this until Olly actually fries one of the callers. Sifl is appropriately horrified.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: The aptly-named Sex Girl. About the only person who can't score with her is Olly. Amazing, considering the quality of his pick-up lines:
{{quote|
'''Sex Girl''': '''''What!?''''' }}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Sifl is Blue, Olly is...VERY Red.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Olly always loses his cool while describing the Precious Roy products, often for no apparent reason.
* [[Screwed
* [[Seinfeldian Conversation]]
* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Peto and Flek.''
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
* [[Title Theme Tune]]: "Sifl... and... Ol-ly! Sifl and Olly Show! (ROCK!)"
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Olly's mom favors Sifl, who's not even her son.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Sifl and Olly, frequently.
