Yes, if the cult-hit Season One DVD wasn't proof enough then Season Two should erase any reasonable doubts - Puppets Who Kill is the nastiest little show around. Yes, the strangely demented antics of Buttons, Rocko, Cuddles and Bill return to torment Dan Redican, the social worker under siege at the half-way house he manages for the fearsome foursome, all of whom are incorrigible sociopaths. How's this for a heart-warming episode - Bill hires a litigator to sue the families of the people he's murdered...for emotional damages.

Special Features: commentary with Dan Redican and puppets, Canada AM interview and more

Here's the No Front Teeth Review

Ok, this show is fuckin sick…sick as in vulgar and sick as in awesome…this is the first exposure I’ve had to this show and boy was it an instant sensation with me, it definitely appeals to my provocative and nasty sense of humor. Just to set the scene for you, this show is about 4 puppets: Bill a serial killing ventriloquist’s dummy, Buttons a killing, nymphomaniac teddy bear, Rocko a chain-smoking, vicious dog and Cuddles a deadly comfort doll who have all failed to be rehabilitated by incarceration so stay in half-way house with Dan who looks after them and keeps them out of trouble…well, tries to keep them out of trouble. A lot of comedy tries so hard to be innovative, raw and confrontational and just fails miserably but Puppets Who Kill naturally does that, it’s executed with such style and raw humor that it’s fucking flawless because this is the type of idea that could easily turn out to be shit if it’s not performed and written properly. It’s got the magic and utter chaos of something like the Young Ones when that was a pioneering program and it’s great to see something come along with some real balls and real obnoxiousness when most comedy these days is about a bunch of fucking middle-class lamos complaining about everything…fuck that, I want something rebellious and disobedient that stretches the boundaries of comedy. Just to give you an idea of the type of shit these puppet fuckers get up to get this: Bill attempts to take the families of the victims he’s murdered to court and ends up cutting his own balls off and Cuddles gets possessed by Satan and has to sodomise Dan to let the demons out…that’s the kind of sick shit I talking about…There’s something about Puppets Who Kill being set in the real world that makes it even more offensive and I love that, it’s not like the Muppets where you’re always aware that they are puppets- you just take it as a given that they’re real and independent-minded. It’s like there are some pretty provocative cartoons like Family Guy and American Dad which certainly pushed the boundaries that programs like the Simpsons initially broke and they just took it much further but because these are cartoons it somehow seems much less offensive, bring it into the real world- a world we live in and instantly recognize, it become much more unpleasant!! And the small-budget feel of it works fantastically for this too. This absolutely rules and I’m getting the first series right away…don’t miss out on this fresh and fucking hilarious, nasty shit.
