Is there a hunger in your sinister soul? Let Wilkinson's Family Restaurant feed your need. Oh sorry, they're out of business now. Rather, are you in the market for tools of depravity? Then Donald & Sons Hardware can supply your dark needs. Intrigued by the creative process behind these advertisements? Step inside the studio to see the magic behind the first and second video advert from Witchitel Music and LynchLand. Liam Lynch, is the guy behind MTV's Sifl and Olly Show, plenty of music (including United States of Whatever), and recently a series of video podcasts. These adverts are clipped from his 17th podcast (direct link to the m4v file).

So crescent fresh!

Sifl & Olly are two sockpuppets that had a show on MTV from 1997 to 1999. In the time allotted to them, they would conduct interviews, take calls from the public, and shill for the Precious Roy Home Shopping Network. In between, they’d talk with their friend Chester, and ROCK!! Call now, and Precious Roy will throw in this extra large tube of S&O, that's four hours and thirty-seven minutes worth for ya kids, let's take some calls! More music? Here's their Battle of the Bands. And lots more of their +/- One-minute Wonders... What’s in the Center? • United States of Whatever • Baby for Gravy • Weird Day • I Sure Do Miss the Eighties • Answer the Phone • Laser Eyes • Prostitute Laundry • Fake Blood • Dude’s House • The Panda! • Up Here, in the Cabinet • Crazy Super Special Fun Day (feat. Chester) • She’s a Carrot • Crescent Fresh • Heart Attacks • Llama School • Hellfire • Cindy the Hostess • The English Song (Redrum) • Dude Song • Wizzard • Haunted Spaceship • Halloween Rocks • Stolen Holiday (feat. Chester) • Rock Stars Get Some Every Night • Just What I Needed (The Cars) • Don’t Fear the Reaper (Blue Öyster Cult) • Goin' Up the Country (Canned Heat) Some of the songs on the list were never aired; instead, they appear on co-creator Liam Lynch's popular video podcast, Lynchland, along with other examples of his wackydoodleditties. Matt Crocco (Sifl) and Liam Lynch (Olly) were friends for a long time before creating Sifl & Olly. They tell more of their story to the attendees of two "Cresventions" in these clips: 1 • 2 ¡ʍoɥs o puɐ x ǝɥʇ

These folks may do a prostitute’s taxes (nytimes), but who does a prostitute’s laundry? (more Sifl and Olly on YouTube)
