In October 2024, Poppy hosted a surreal variety show on Veeps called Improbably Poppy. It was a mixture of sketches built on skewed humour, violence and crude sexual references – the kind of show you would watch on Adult Swim at 3am after a night out. Across the six episodes, she would talk to a panel of three puppets that looked like Muppet rejects and, at the end of each episode, sing a song accompanied by a band called Rodent’s Revenge, featuring a weasel father and son.
One brilliantly strange sketch features a pale yellow puppet called Mr. Scib. It turns out that Mr. Scib is sad. Why? Because someone has started a rumour about him.
