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'.

In Depression-era New York, a poor, but happy fellow discovers what may be his ticket out of skid-row. The Littlest Circus. This one is a little long at 8:11, but worth it. More very entertaining comedy and very professional filmmaking from Charged Productions.

Here is another hilarious video brought to you by the good lads over at Charged Productions. This sketch comedy spoof imagines two undercover crime fighting partners: one is a former Black Panther, the other a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. According to the video, the only thing they hate more than each other is crime… and the Jews. The Starsky and Hutch-like 70’s vibe plays great with the irresistible soundtrack that’ll have you singing the words—for good or ill—for quite some time after viewing this little gem. This is a definite must see, so follow through and click play.

This video by Charged Productions is an interesting parody of the Quentin Tarantino classic movie Reservoir Dogs. Capturing the high drama of the bank heist gone wrong, F-bombs are thrown around like rice at a funeral as the characters—who look nothing like the originals, incidentally—try to sort things out and ultimately put a little lead in an irritant's chest.

This video by Charged Productions is a hilarious take on the original video message from the founders of YouTube after their company was aqcuired by Google. It is a lesson in sound editing; even the background street noise matches perfectly. If you haven't seen the original video you'll want to view it at some point because it makes this parody even more funny. Enjoy!
