Original, topical, intelligent comedy. We thank you xcohn, aka Charged Productions, for your hilarious stop-action comics and puppetry. (Your videos with human actors are not as funny or original; but the comics created with puppets and stop-motion are brilliant.)

The puppet videos were originally created for a TV show called "Smoking Gun TV" - now on the Adult Swim/Cartoon Network. Thankfully we still have access to these gems now that they have a home on Charged Productions' website and on YouTube.com

Especially funny are 'CHARGED-True Story Matthew McConuaghey's Naked Bongo Bust', 'CHARGED-True Story of How Naomi Campbell Beat Her Assistant' and 'CHARGED:The True Story of James Brown's Run-in With The Law', with dialogue and action taken from the actual police reports and acted by bobble-headed and stringed puppets with realistic looking faces and gritty dialogue. Perhaps FOX News soon will use this medium to make their reports even more entertaining than their pumped-up sensationalized "news" already is.

Another one of these very funny social satire videos is: The B-Team Episode 1 - "Madonna's Guy". The puppet actors, the voices and the dialogue are all first rate, extremely funny and very topical.

The TV series "The A-Team" has been gone almost 20 years now. So now it's time for today's B-list celebrities, such as K-Fed, Si-Cow, The sisters Olsen and Madonna, to jump on their last bandwagon of wilting fame with the new "B-Team" TV series. In Episode 1 we listen to them diss one another and watch them chase down bad guys, fight crime and, well, mostly eachother.

[A breaking news update to this video: Britney Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline, yo. So we're hoping for future episodes to mix in trashy satire with that match made in a trailer park. On a happier note, fool, Mr. T is back in good form here, and we're happy to report he hasn't aged at all.]

In the vain of "The Daily Show", these guys brilliantly mix rich, biting satire into current events and tabloid 'news'.
