''Puppets Who Kill'' was a Canadian-produced BlackComedy series that centered on the lives of four puppets who had been sent to a halfway house run by the cynic Dan Barlow as a last ditch effort to rehabilitate them as every other effort had failed.

The puppets themselves were:
* Rocko the Dog, who after suppressing his very child-unfriendly personality snapped on set;
* Cuddles, a comfort doll whose consistent curbing of his own desires ended up with him shooting people with a rifle from a roof;
* Buttons the Bear, a sex maniac who had a good life until his private deeds were released to the public and he was fired.
* [[DemonicDummy Bill the Dummy]], a psychopath who had 56 partners die in tragic "accidents" with a constant [[SlasherSmile smile]] and a taste for [[ImAHumanitarian meat]].

The show tended to balance itself on the edge of a knife, often crossing the line [[CrossesTheLineTwice more than twice]] and happily embracing the darkly humorous tone inherent in a show about living puppets who regularly break the law.
