Spitting Image is back!

[Downunder Dolphan]

I'm showing my age a bit here... back in the 1980s the Spitting Image puppets were a bit part of political satire in the UK. In Australia we had Rubbery Figures as a local rip-off. Genesis won a Grammy for best music video in 1988 for "Land of Confusion" which was put together by these maniacs.

They are back again, offending everyone. Starting it off with Paddington Bear snorting a lot of cocaine and saying motherfucker in the first 20 seconds (which apparently has got them sued), along with even less savory stuff. Especially directed at one Donald Trump. If you have a twisted sense of humor, then enjoy this:

After having their content taken down from youtube due to legal action by the owners of Paddington (who they refer to as Studio C-anal in later episodes), they have their own webiste up where you can see everything that's been taken down.

They were very big back on TV in the UK in the 1980s, at the height of the Reagan and Thatcher years. You may also remember this video they did for Genesis in 1986:
