The Sifl and Olly Show is a comedy television series that features sock puppets, animation, and musical performances, created and performed by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco.
The show aired on MTV from July 14, 1998, to 1999, spanning three seasons.
The two main characters are Sifl, a black sock puppet with yellow, reptilian eyes and hair made of green, plastic sunflower leaves, who is portrayed as the calm leader and often manipulative figure, and Olly, a white sock puppet who is more excitable and prone to crazed outbursts.
Their assistant, Chester, is a mumbling, often nonsensical character who claims to be great at everything.

The show had a low-budget, unscripted feel, with the characters engaging in realistic, meandering conversations and performing original and classic songs, often featuring profanity, sexual references, drug innuendo, crude humor, bodily functions, and violence, making it unsuitable for children.
It featured recurring segments such as "Precious Roy's Home Shopping Netwerk," a parody of the Home Shopping Network with bizarre products, "Calls from the Public" where the duo took calls from random characters, "Interview Time" with surreal guests like Death or an atom, and "S & O News" where they reported on absurd news stories.

Despite its cancellation after the second season, a third season was recorded, and the episodes were eventually released on DVD after MTV failed to release them online as promised.
The characters, along with new material, currently appear on Liam Lynch's podcast, Lynchland.
The show gained a cult following, and fans, known as "sockheads," have organized conventions and created tribute content.
The series has been praised for its surreal humor and ahead-of-its-time comedic sensibility, with some fans noting its influence on later shows
