Fluffy Friends Is “Us”

After the global box office hit horror Us hit theaters, director William Sikora III wanted to tackle the film for his latest Fluffy Friends parody.

LaTonka and Ollie star in the 10 minute film that captures the tense moments with a twist of laughter added in. The Us parody is just the latest from Fluffy Friends who last released a parody featuring the internet legend Momo. The entire project was filmed on green screens and puts audiences right back into the movie featuring incredibly creepy doppelganger characters named Lala and Oilie.

You can watch the hilarious parody HERE.

 

Ollie Checks Out The Muppets At The Hollywood Bowl

The Muppets took over The Hollywood Bowl in a live variety show and Fluffy Friends’ Ollie went to join in on the fun! Ollie walks through the crowds and meets new friends! This is just a glimpse of the show and how amazing it was to see in person! Special thanks to the Muppets for inspiring me in what I do!

LaTonka Gets Upgraded

After three years, LaTonka is getting an upgrade, a major one! The all new custom designed puppet makes her debut in a hilarious makeover episode which puts her in a cryo-tube that transforms her entire look.

“Our original puppet was getting very old and raggedy. The seams were ripping apart and the hair was coming off, it was definitely time to think about our next phase for LaTonka. I had to tread very carefully, because changing up a character can really turn fans off if it’s done wrong. Her personality is identical, just the outward appearance has been upgraded. The new LaTonka now has eyebrows, fingers, real hair, and a full body. It was a risky move, but overall the fans are loving her.” Sikora said.

Fluffy Friends has had an amazing year in terms of growth, celebrating one year anniversary of the smash hit series “Word of the Day” this October. Fluffy Friends will also be releasing a sticker app for iOS 10 this month which features over 65 stickers!

“We are excited to see where we can take these puppets! There is a lot in the works.” Sikora ended.

It’s Time To Get Fluffy

After many years of making Vines and Instagram videos, 2015 was a big year for Fluffy Friends. Early in the year, a few videos went viral across the web and gave the show a big jump on Instagram. As with every viral sensation, the fire soon fades after a while and Sikora went back to the drawing board to figure out how to keep the momentum going. Cookie Monster was making a lot of appearances in the video and Sikora had little desire to keep using him since he didn’t own the character, enter Ollie!

Ollie was a puppet custom made for Sikora a couple years back but he never really found a place. “I didn’t want to just throw him into the mix, I was actually giving him his own gaming show, which turned out to be a very difficult process to review games, play them and react using the puppet at the same time. He didn’t really find an audience there so he was put back on the shelf for a bit. It wasn’t until this summer when I decided to say goodbye to Cookie and replace him with Ollie as the new roomie and create a new YouTube channel with Fluffy content only (compared to being thrown in the mix of all the variety of content on BTV.) I really didn’t think we would hit big again but I was certainly wrong!” Sikora said.

Ollie teamed up with LaTonka in the hilarious series Word of the Day which immediately took the internet by storm, shooting their small amount of followers over 5,000. They were late to the Facebook party, creating a page in October, as of today, they have over 21,000 Likes! (That’s lightyears ahead of every other Sikora Entertainment Facebook page!) Their YouTube page started performing better than BTV, racking up thousands of subscribers in just one month.

This week also marked a big day for Fluffy Friends with the grand opening of their store which has over 60 items to purchase ranging from t-shirts to magnets, cards, to pillows, cases, keychains and much more!

Not to mention, LaTonka will be getting her own show on the YouTube channel in 2016! It’s looking like Fluffy Friends is just starting to see it’s success after these many years. Everyone is loving LaTonka and Ollie!

 

Fluffy Friends Join Facebook

It’s better late than never! Fluffy Friends finally has their own page on Facebook and you can LIKE them now! It’s definitely taken some time for the crazy puppets to evolve, originally starting out on Vine making fun parody videos and sketches, the puppets really exploded on Instagram where they are the most active. In the summer they got their own YouTube account, so it was just a matter of time.

These puppets have always been edgy, it was never just for kids. The videos were hilarious parodies on pop culture and making fun of random things. With the addition of social networks, the puppets also welcomed a new roomie to the cast, Ollie, a lovable, naive fluffy. People have already gotten a small taste of him in a few videos.
