The characters of The Sifl and Olly Show.
open/close all folders
Sifl
The calmer leader of the show. Often the voice of reason.
- Berserk Button: Olly's insistence on doing Precious Roy segments despite his psychiatrist urging him not to puts Sifl on a hair-trigger temper during a lot of the later episodes.
- Character Catchphrase: "You know the problems I've been having with X" during the Precious Roy segments.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Despite being branded as the Straight Man, he's done more than his fair share of odd things, such as dating a carrot or blowing the show's budget on an ice sculpture . He also, apparently, regularly asks strippers to do something involving ski gear and talking about bread.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Has built robots and a cloning machine, among other things.
- Not Afraid to Die: He even sings an upbeat song with Olly called "When I'm Dead", detailing what Olly can do with him after he dies. Though Olly's unsettling eagerness to act out his desires puts him off quite a bit.
- Not So Stoic: He's prone to losing his cool if Olly pushes him too far.
- Only Sane Man: Sometimes. He and Olly seem to trade this role with each other every few episodes.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He's done this more than once, usually in response to Olly's breakdowns during the Precious Roy segments.
- Straight Man: Usually.
Olly
The other half of the duo. He's a lot less brighter than Sifl, and tends to get exploited by him. He also suffers from "manic compulsive salesmanship," as can be seen during most of the later Precious Roy segments.
- Applied Mathematics: A lot of his Precious Roy pitches incorporate this in some (usually nonsensical) way.Olly: It's a simple equation, folks: hookers times loneliness divided by organ grinders equals monkey hearts. New monkey heart plus hooker equals hooker monkeys!
- Berserk Button: Do NOT make up facts about Björk, and DEFINITELY don't insult Precious Roy's products.
- Character Catchphrase: "You've got some serious-ass X problems" in the Precious Roy segments, usually after Sifl's line.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Though he's still more grounded in reality than a lot of the other characters.
- I Am a Humanitarian: He's expressed a desire to cook and eat Sifl on several occasions.
- Noodle Implements: He ruined Stealth's bar mitzvah by driving through it on a golf cart while dressed as a beaver.
- Sanity Slippage: His aforementioned "manic compulsive salesmanship," which worsens with each episode, eventually culminating in him running in front of the product display and having a nervous breakdown.
Chester
Sifl and Olly's weird friend who usually introduces them.
- Imaginary Friend: He has one named "Puddin Tane", who has apparently managed to convince Chester that he's imaginary, and Puddin Tane is real. Puddin Tane also apparently has Chester do things like steal vans and buy liquor and cigarettes for him.
- Noodle Incident: He had some incident involving bubbles long ago, and he doesn't enjoy talking about it.
- The Stoner: Implied: it's never explicitly stated that he's under the influence of anything, but his overall mannerisms strongly hint towards it.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Cereal, which he keeps in his pockets.
Precious Roy
A strange man who hired Sifl and Olly to sell his products.
- Ascended Extra: He makes a few appearances outside of his own commercials in the second season.
- Atomic F-Bomb: Drops one during the commercial for "Miracle Dirt".
- Badass Boast: He can apparently suck the life out of a shark.
- Borrowed Catchphrase: He borrows Olly's "you've got some serious-ass X problems" catchphrase when he fires him.
- Gender-Blender Name: Not his actual name, but they call him Aunt Julie "at the home".
- Mad Libs Catchphrase: He has two: "This is Precious Roy! [non-sequitur statement]!" and "Buy my [other item usually related to the one being advertised]! SUCKERS!"
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Maybe. His answer to a question on a science trivia show was "churned butter", but in the end it's revealed that he tricked the person who won into giving their prize to him. Then again, the person who won was Chester...
- Put on a Bus: He only makes one appearance in the Game Review series before disappearing.
Stealth
A Jerk Jock that wants to get revenge on Olly for ruining his bar mitzvah.
- Badass Boast: He loves spouting these.
- Jerkass: He wants to beat up Olly and is generally an asshole. This is lampshaded by Sifl in the first episode, who says he's "kind of a jerk".
- Smoking Is Cool: He thinks it makes him look "badass."
Crescent Fresh Guy
A stereotypical stoner hippie guy who likes using the phrase "Crescent Fresh".
- No Name Given: Is never named in the show.
Grout
A NASA scientist who enjoys appearing uninvited to brag about his scientific achievements.
Deuce Loosely, AKA "The Panda Guy"
A vaguely Asian man "drunk on panda mystery".
