Spitting Image Relaunches Satirical Series Targeting Global Celebrities, Royals

The satirical puppet show Spitting Image has returned with a new 12-part series titled 'The Rest Is Bulls*!t,' which mercilessly mocks high-profile figures including Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and US President Donald Trump. The show, airing on YouTube, features exaggerated caricatures such as Harry's balding head and large ears, Meghan's comically enlarged teeth, and Taylor Swift's signature red lips, while also satirizing political leaders like King Charles, Kim Jong Un, and Keir Starmer. Trump's recent UK state visit is a notable theme, depicted humorously with scenes like King Charles refusing a burger offered by Trump wearing a bib. The series aims to provide comic relief amid global tensions and media scrutiny, drawing on sharp and fearless satire of politics, pop culture, and media control. Creatively led by Al Murray and Matt Forde, the show continues the legacy of Spitting Image from the 1980s and 1990s, appealing to audiences with its bold and unfiltered comedic style. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have been subjects of prior lampooning such as in South Park, are once again poised to be central targets of the satire.
