The Sifl & 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, who have been friends since childhood.
The show, which aired on MTV, premiered in 1998 and ran until 1999, with a total of three seasons produced.
The two main characters are Sifl, a black sock puppet who is the calmer leader, and Olly, a white sock puppet who is more excitable and often breaks into crazed furies.
Their assistant, Chester, is a mumbling, often nonsensical character who claims to be great at everything.

The show was known for its low-budget, unscripted feel, featuring surreal humor, crude jokes, sexual references, and profanity, and was not intended for children.
It incorporated various segments, including "Calls from the Public," where Sifl and Olly took calls from bizarre characters; "Precious Roy's Home Shopping Netwerk," a parody of home shopping networks selling absurd products; "Interview Time," featuring interviews with unlikely guests like Death or an atom; and "A Word with Chester," where the characters interacted with the often incoherent Chester.
The show also featured musical performances, with original songs performed by Sifl and Olly, and a segment called "Rock Facts," which provided fictional answers to rock music trivia.

Despite its cult following, the show was cancelled after its second season, and a third season was recorded but not released by MTV as promised.
The third season episodes were eventually released on DVD.
The characters continue to appear in occasional episodes of Liam Lynch's podcast, Lynchland, often featuring clips from the third season.
Fans of the show, known as "sockheads," have organized conventions and created tribute content.
The show has been referenced in other media, such as the film Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.
