Precious Roy concludes all of his segments by shouting, "Suckers!" at the screen."That's so Crescent Fresh," discussed and introduced with a song.Breakaway Pop Hit: If you haven't heard of the show, you've probably heard of this.Biting the Hand Humor: When it became apparent that MTV didn't give a damn about the show.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 he's a fan.).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 sounds like " A Word with Chester" (later "Letters To Chester") where Olly would spend a little time talking to Chester, since he wanted to give him a spot on the show and finally " And Now.ROCK!" where the duo would sing a song, many of which were recycled into the " Kickin' It Old School" segments of season 2. The humor often featured profanity, sexual references, drug innuendo, crude humor, bodily functions, and violence. Though it featured puppets, the series was not intended for children. Sifl and Olly sing both original and classic songs throughout the show, with an original song at the end. The show has an unscripted feel, with the characters talking to each other in a realistic, conversational style. The two co-hosts often have a microphone in front of them. The show is always very simple and low-budget, showing only the characters and background images or animation. Only puppets appear on the show, except during Precious Roy's hamster sale. Their assistant Chester is shy and often incoherent, and claims to be great at everything. Sifl is the calmer (though less responsible) leader of the show, while Olly is excitable and often breaks into crazed furies. The two main characters are a black sock puppet named Sifl and a white sock puppet named Olly. The first episode aired in 1997, and the show was canceled in 1999. Created and performed by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco, friends since childhood. The Sifl and Olly Show was a comedy show on MTV with sock puppets, animation, and music.
