Puppet Webisodes
I love puppets and I love webisodes (online TV series). I loved Greg the Bunny when it was on TV, but it sadly didn’t last. There isn’t much money on puppet shows made for adults in the cable audience. Though it seems to be a big hit online.
The first one I will mention isn’t exactly a webisode, but I still love watching their online short clips. It’s a Jim Henson show that usually is done in front of a live audience and is an improve show (Like Who’s Line Is It Anyway). It’s called Puppet Up and if you can ever catch them live, I highly advise it.
The other episode is a mini webisode of about 5 episodes. It’s called “The Puppet Rapist” and is about a man convicted of being a puppet rapist is released from prison. Though shortly after leaving he is framed for murder/rape of a puppet and is forced to solve the mystery. It’s a dark comedy that I found very entertaining.
Another popular Puppet webisode is Potter Puppet Pals and their most famous webisode is The Mysterious Ticking Noise.
This series is for those that are fans of the terrible movie The Room. This is where you get to view the puppet version of Tommy reading emails from “fans” called The Room Responds.
And the next new series that will come to the web is Monster Factory. The trailer below explains it all.
Hi Dawn! … You forgot one important and fabulous webisode series: Latino characters and an edgy, satirical, sometimes political, snarky college humor make up this puppet webisode variety show starring: Señor Loro, Fidel Castro’s ex-pet parrot. LosTiteres.TV (or “ThePuppets.TV” in Spanish) showcases a Latino POV. Sesame Street visual imagery and style meets Muppet Show-like mayhem with a Latin twist. Plus, THE First PUPPET TELENOVELA EVER!
