Sifl and Olly was an MTV comedy series that ran from 1997 to 1999, created by Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco and performed almost entirely with sock puppets. Sifl was the calmer host alongside the more excitable Olly, and their low budget, surreal interviews and songs built a cult following. Short clips from the show later circulated online as reaction sounds, where brief lines work without explanation. This flat no survives for that reason, fitting the show's dry humour and the internet's love of a perfectly timed, emotionless rejection.
