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 green, plastic sunflower leaves for hair, who is portrayed as the calmer, more manipulative leader of the show
; 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 realistic, meandering conversations between the characters.
It included 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 Sifl and Olly took calls from random and often bizarre characters
; "Interview Time," featuring interviews with unusual guests like Death or an atom
; and "S & O News," where the duo reported on surreal news stories.
The show also featured musical performances, including original songs and covers, with segments like "And Now... ROCK" and "It's Almost the End of the Show".

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 continue to appear in occasional episodes of Liam Lynch's podcast, Lynchland, often featuring clips from Season 3.
The show gained a cult following, and fans are known as "sockheads".
The series has been praised for its surreal humor, original music, and unique blend of satire and absurdity, with some fans considering it ahead of its time.
