Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

Hey hey. Don't know if you younger folk remember this once great show, but does anyone feel like striking up a conversation about the late great Sifl and Olly? I mean, MTV was going to put out a DVD, but it's impossible to find...apparently because they never made one, but that won't stop me from looking! Are there any other S-O fanboys/fangirls out there?



Sifl and Olly remind me about what is great about Homestar. Simple-minded comedy, not always the most appropriate language, but everything was hilarious in its own right. Anyone remember? ANYONE?

Sifl and Olly, Sifl and Olly show. ROCK!

I thought I was the only person that missed that show.
I don't remember a lot about it, but I do miss it.
For some reason, I think I remember some really weird song about My So-Called Life.

I'd heard that Sifl and Olly were coming to DVD. That'd be worth buying. Why, oh why, does MTV abandon the shows that are actually good for crap like "My Sweet 16" or "Road Rules vs Real World"?

Strongbad: okay andy, first off, you cant think it was funny, because you allready saw it, unless youve been messing with the 'Forgeto' Ray again. I gotta tell The Cheat to keep that thing under lock and key, i think Strong Mad got to it, because The Cheat seems to be forgetting to keep it under Said Lock and Key.

{Cut back to the side of the castle. The poopsmith Sheds a Tear, Drops his Shovel, and Walks off.}
Strong Bad: umm... okay... i dont know what the was about.

One thing people don't realize is that Liam Lynch, voice of Sifl and co-creator of the show back in Akron, wrote the song "United States of Whatever" on that show. He then was asked by loyal British MTV viewers to make a "real" song like that, so he made an album titled "Fake Songs" in which he makes fun of many genres and artists.



Anyway, MTV is really stupid about this. They could follow in the footsteps of Fox and Nickelodeon by bringing back cancelled TV shows to DVD. I mean, what is wrong with them??

Oh yeah. THEY'RE MTV.

I was a big fan of that show. I liked The State a lot too...

I had some weird friends in high school who told me about that show. Sounded like comedic gold if you ask me. I mean, 'cmon! Sock puppets!

It had it's moments, but sometimes it got really dull. Still it was about 10 times better than anything on MTV these days.


MTV and Nickleodeon (owned by the same company) are really wierd about releasing DVD's of old shows. They could score some decent Nostalgia bucks if they ever got over it.

Yeah, they're owned by Viacom, which is seemingly strange. A company that feeds off of pop-culture shouldn't be so restrictive in making DVDs. I mean, it took Nick how long to make a Pete & Pete DVD? Sifl and Olly deserve better!

Otherwise they'll have to go to the cupboard.

One reason I think the show never really was liked at MTV was because of its spontaneity. I mean, every topic they talked about lasted for at most 3 minutes. Then it transitioned into something else weird.

And supposedly those DVDs are of really bad quality, like they just found the master tapes lying around in the basement and transferred them to DVD format.


MTV is really schizophrenic about their shows. Specifically about thier various cartoons and alternative stuff (like Sifl & Olly). I can rattle of a number of good shows that got shifted around on the channel before meeting an early demise.

By the way, did MTV ever release S&O on video? Viacom was known for putting thier channels' shows on tape and not really advertising it.
