20th Anniversary of The Erica Crooks Show (satirical sketch comedy puppetry independent films by Erica Crooks)

20 years ago, I made my first independent films. The half-hour satirical puppet sketch comedy series "The Erica Crooks Show". I was 18 at the time. Though I have experimented with video before as well as putting on live sketch comedy puppet shows in childhood, especially at my local public library for teens and adults (due to my sense of humor, even back then), 20 years ago is when I made my indie films and figured out how to edited them with a video editor.  Celebrating 25+ years of puppetry, cartoons, animation and indie film.  For more from Erica Crooks, visit: https://linktr.ee/officialericcrooks (Websites, Socials, Patreon, and Shop)

The Erica Crooks Show - Season 16 ( 2022 ) Episode 1

The Erica Crooks Show - Season 16 ( 2022 ) Episode 1



The satirical dark comedy adult puppet sketch slapstick comedy show " The Erica Crooks Show " is back for it's Season 16 premiere episode !

Political activism loses it's meaning among Millennial / Generation Z Internet popularity as an overly simplistic movement to hate & fear everything good, especially in left leaning modern western culture. Meanwhile EX-President Donald J. Trump ( no one's Lord & Master of the Universe ) struggles to sleep so he calls on " Donald Junior " ;P for assistance. And a Nightclub show-off is discovered in a bar SOAKING in his own AMERICAN DREAM.


* Contains mature adult themes, strong language, situations, etc * ( It is adult puppetry after all ;P )

Check out the other seasons of The Erica Crooks Show right here.
