With the world getting smaller and more turbulent, the time couldn’t be more appropriate for an iconic British satirical take on global events. Produced by Avalon (Taskmaster, The Russell Howard Hour, Catastrophe, Breeders, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, over 100 puppets have already been developed by socially distanced teams of artists ready for launch, including: Adele, Angela Merkel, Baby Yoda, Barack Obama, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Boris Johnson, Boris Baby, The Johnson Dog, Brad Pitt, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, Chrissy Teigen, Covid-19, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dominic Cummings, Dominic Raab, Donald Trump, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Elon Musk, Elton John, Emmanuel Macron, Greta Thunberg, Grimes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Harry Styles, Idris Elba, Ivanka Trump, Jacinda Ardern, James Corden, Jeff Bezos, Joe Biden, Jürgen Klopp, Kanye West, Keir Starmer, Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton, Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Hancock, Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Melania Trump, Michael Gove, Michelle Obama, Narendra Modi, Oprah Winfrey, Piers Morgan, The Pope, Prince Andrew, Prince Charles, Prince Harry, Prince William, Priti Patel, The Queen, Richard Branson, Rishi Sunak, RuPaul, Taylor Swift, Tiger Woods, Tyson Fury, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, all falling under the show’s legendary gaze.
A next generation of satirical writers and voice artists are working with established talent to drive a new wave of ‘public service satire’.

4:12 Best moment! "DAMMIT I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S REAL! I'M SCIENTOLOGIST!" cracks me everytime

[@georgieluvsu]

praise GOD. Repent.

[@Gardureth]

The person(s) making these Muppets are absolute masters at their craft! We need a making of, get to know the creativity behind this madness, pleassseeee.

[@lolahernandez6871]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that Cruise puppet is 100% accurate!

[@grimshock6983]

Up to scale too

[@harloday]

Wait this isn’t an interview

[@wfbn]

Minus that comically short stature

[@giovannibarbato4558]

The puppet is more accurate than the original😂

[@lovebug9696]

Wait thats a puppet????!

[@annazaman9657]

Love that they show Tom shorter than everyone

[@evanevanf4033]

Tom cruise is almost exactly like Napoleon: both were 5’7 but everyone imagines them as being as short as possible even though 5’7 is pretty short…

[@wfbn]

How dare you height shame!!🤬😭🤬😭

[@2weeksago642]

Just look at 2:12 that’s messed up lmao

[@jonwuddup5410]

​@@evanevanf4033 I'm 5'7 and your wife and mom and sister and aunt and ex girlfriend said it's the perfect height to bend and fold them. And eat and missionary and sideways. They angry and won't talk to me now. Damn it I know when's something real!!!

[@dafyddthomas7299]

Love the Scottish Shrek - ex Scot SNP leader at 1:51

[@oliversherman2414]

Shrek's voice actor is Scottish

[@Lee67001]

3:37 "Hang on!, have those Toffee Apples ever arrived?, the ones I brush my hair with?". Brilliant.

[@shamusbob7969]

I love how Tom Cruise is so small his puppet can be operated by one guy, everyone else is a full sized puppet operated by multiple people it seems, and he's got one guy who operates his little hand as well it seems. I love how he kicks his way in on the Boris sketch and you can tell it's one guys hand storming through the doors.

[@taffetatwist2194]

0:56 I love that they've taken some black marker to a Tesco trunking trailer and turned it in to a livestock truck but kept the Tesco Livery xD

[@iShantaram]

[@chrisplimmer4684]

I was honestly expecting Tom Cruise to be a long lost elf to be honest

[@Proserpira]

You're implying he isn't?

[@MSaleh-vy8rr]

the elves should've been "oh I didn't expect a elve coming this early to take my night shift."

[@SuperAgentman007]

I wish this was on television I definitely would tune in😂

[@dwaugh2215]

damn, getting redemption is so damn hard for Tom Cruise.

[@rustyrusty7059]

Brilliant comedy 👍🏻 extra funny watch’n this from Australia 🇦🇺 Hahaha Loved the toffee apple 🍎

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

“It’s beautiful man.” -Tom Cruise in TAPS.

Tiny Tom even had an Amazon pee bottle on the dashboard

[@rodneytuxedo7559]

I went to a scientology get together as a joke with my friends once. When we arrived there were grills with burnt meat and no one around. The full story is hilarious. It was canal street in nola.

[@mommas1276]

I love that he is so accurately tiny!

[@necrophage5248]

I saw the Zukaturd SPIT, and I wasn't sure. Now I'm a HUGE FAN.

[@muscledavis5434]
