[Silf and Olly are taking calls from the audience]
Olly: Next caller.
Jargon Scott: Hi, I'm Jargon Scott.
Sifl: Uh oh...
Olly: Hi, Jargon, what's your question?
Jargon Scott: Well, I was gonna ask you boys if you'd be interested in, uh, purchasing a little item I've got here.
Olly: Not legless dogs...
Jargon Scott: Today I am offering legless dogs.
Olly: No, I'm sorry, we're not interested.
Jargon Scott: Now listen, hear me out... You never have to walk 'em.
Olly: Oh gosh...
Jargon Scott: They're like cuddly throw pillows.
Olly: No, look, we just...
Jargon Scott: Like cats with personality.
Olly: We just can't really...
Jargon Scott: They never run away.
Sifl: True, but...
Jargon Scott: They're safe around children. What do you guys say?
Sifl: No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we're not interested, sir.
Jargon Scott: Hear me out buddy.
Olly: Well, I'm sorry, we're gonna have to take another call...

*Ahem* One of the saving graces of MTV last year was this whacked-out sock-puppet show; I figure if MTV can't play music videos anymore, this is the next best thing.
Alas- like the State, Sifl & Olly apparently appealed to too few teenagers to be worth carrying; it hasn't been on the air for a while now.
The whole show smacked of what a couple of guys would do if they had access to a public access station, and a bag of pot. I can't really explain how the results would be appealing, but they were- this is one of the few shows that has ever made me cry because I was laughing so hard.
"Suckers!", the theme song, the name "Chester", drawings of the characters, Chester's voice- all of these became catch-phrases or common occurrences at work with my friends. We'd print out signs saying "Buy my waffles! SUCKERS!" and put them up where customers would see them (usually over a picture of Shel Silverstein, but that's another story). The guys behind Sifl & Olly probably didn't intend it this way, but they made out lives a lot more bearable.
The show needs to come back.
