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 (and always includes a call from their landlord who threatens to evict them for some very weird reasons, like collecting monkeys and building a waterpark) "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 "It's Almost the End of the Show!" 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, surrealism, sexual references, drug innuendo, crude humor, bodily functions, and violence. Though it featured sock 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 extemporaneous 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. 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.
