One of the legitimately funny highlights of Seth Macfarlane's opening monologue at the Oscars last night was a skit that re-enacted the Denzel Washington movie Flight with Sock...
There’s a bit of spat at the moment between Spain and France and it seems that a French puppet show is to blame. The fuss started with an episode of Les Guignols de l’info – a sort of French version of Spitting Image – that featured puppets of disgraced cyclist Alberto Contador singing about blood doping...
The year is drawing to a close and that means it's time for JibJab's annual year-end salute to the year that just...
Shaquille O'Neal is a multifaceted man of many talents; NBA star, rapper, mediocre actor, even a U.S. Deputy Marshal (seriously). To that list he now adds lip-syncing puppeteer on...
This is one of the winning entries from a video contest Foo Fighters held earlier this year called This Video Sucks. It was directed by Phil...
Looks like Katy Perry really likes puppets. Hot on the heels of the Katy Perry/Elmo “cleavagegate” controversy (see previous post) comes news that Katy Perry will be the first human guest star in Simpsons history. She’ll be appearing in a special Christmas episode that features the Simpson clan in puppet form, as created by Swazzle...
My first professional puppetry job was with Famous PEOPLE Players (FPP) back in the mid-to-late `90s. A big part of their act has always been using Bunraku-style black light puppetry to pay homage to famous artists (hence the name “Famous PEOPLE Players”) and they do puppets of celebrities just about as well as anyone out...

The puppets in question are caricatures of The View's co-hosts Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters. They were originally commissioned last year by Etsy - where Stacey is a well-known puppet maker - as a...
Well, another year has come and gone. I've been a little too busy doing puppetry to write about for the past several months, but before 2009 comes to a close I wanted to share JibJab's annual year end video, Never a Year Like...
The Chiodo Bros. send us Christmas greetings from the Govenator and the little...
Eminem’s latest video Ass Like That (definately not recommended for the easily offended) features Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. As per usual there’s a couple of great Triumph one-liners from Robert Smigel (my personal favourite is “Oooh, do you kiss Fifty Cent with that mouth?”). The video also features these terrific puppets of rappers Eminem...
Well first it was Janet’s nipple and now it’s this. And this, this and this. People, get a grip! I mean I don’t expect much journalistic integrity from the Toronto Sun, but should this really be their cover story two days running? How can the country that produced Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and SCTV possibly...
