 What the judges said

YK : That reverse hand puppetry is mind-destroying. It’s like Deadwood meets Everybody Loves Raymond.

BB : Or Punch and Judy meet feuding brothers.

AS : I can see the headline now: “Audience Sets Self Ablaze After Demonic Puppet Show.”

DN : A naked doll with identical-twin hand puppets? I’ve never seen that.

YK : Are they jousting?

BB : I love the Laverne & Shirley sweaters. What’s more dysfunctional than two brothers posing as Laverne & Shirley fighting over a punch-drunk doll? It could be an ad for some new reality show on dysfunctional family relationships.

DN : I like it, but maybe I’m just a sucker for crummy-looking cutouts.

AS : I’d like to award extra points for rhyming. And those snappy monograms.
