Spitting Image

 This was originally on terrestrial television, but is now on YouTube.  I imagine they avoid some of the censorship this way.

For those not familiar with this it was originally on terrestrial TV but it is now on YouTube. The format is simple: puppets are created of famous people and they are made fun of. 

In many countries you could be imprisoned or shot for this, although I think it is a sign of a mature society if we can make fun of people in public office or the news. 

To many, to be made into a puppet on Spitting Image is an honour.

Years ago I used to enjoy watching Spitting Image on TV. I think it is a sign of a mature society if we can poke fun at our leaders without fear.  In some places making fun of your leader would have you imprisoned or even killed.

It is sometimes "near the bone" so I see it is now on YouTube. I think it reflects how society is these days.

This was a BBC TV show (1980s?) that made fun with puppets of politicians, who sometimes take themselves far too seriously. It is now available on YouTube.

In my view, it is a good thing to lampoon politicians and is a sign of grown-up leaders and countries.

Quite a few years ago this show was on UK terrestrial TV. It has just come back (on Britbox I think). It takes off people in the news as puppets.
