Pib and Pog is the name of both a short film and a series of shorts created by Aardman Animations.
The animation is set up like a typical pre-school programme, introduced by a soft-spoken narrator who translates what the characters say to the audience. However, as the show goes on, it gradually turns into a black comedy where the characters attempt to harm each other constantly – for instance, shooting each other in the stomach with guns, kicking each other in the balls, sticking each other's heads in concentrated sulphuric acid, sawing each other in half and blowing each other up with cannons. After the show has finished, the "actors" (the same characters with a more worn-out expression) break character and reveal themselves to be much older and grumpier than the characters they portray.
The characters were later used in an advertising campaign for Dairylea products on British television, and made a cameo in the eighth episode of Rex the Runt.

Series (2006)
In 2006, five additional shorter episodes were made in association with the BBC and were available to watch online at AtomFilms until it was absorbed into Comedy Central. Like the original short, the episodes are set up like a typical pre-school programme, introduced by a softly spoken narrator who translates what the characters say to the audience. However, as each episode goes on, it gradually turns into a black comedy where the characters attempt to harm each other constantly – for instance, removing a rotten tooth then filling Pog's mouth shut, finding chocolate that makes Pib sick that Pog staples Pib's mouth shut but Pib vomits through his eyes, auditioning to become a contestant on The X Factor and Pog playing Simon Cowell, Pog giving Pib negative feedback with Pib blowing Pog's head off with a microphone, letting Pib lick the whisk he used to make a cake and Pib's tongue gets stuck in it. Pib then proceeding to cut Pog's face off with a knife with it landing in the cake, and finding a pornographic DVD in Daddy's study, watching some of the film with Pib throwing the disc with it piercing Pog's head. All Pib and Pog episodes can be seen on YouTube as of August 2012.
