'''''Pib and Pog''''' is the name of both a short film and a series of shorts created by [[Aardman Animations]].
The animation is set up like a typical pre-school programme, introduced by a soft-spoken narrator who translates what the characters say to the audience. However, as the show goes on, it gradually turns into a [[black comedy]] where the characters attempt to harm each other constantly – for instance, shooting each other in the stomach with guns, kicking each other in the balls, sticking each other's heads in concentrated sulphuric acid, sawing each other in half and blowing each other up with cannons. After the show has finished, the "actors" (the same characters with a more worn-out expression) break character and reveal themselves to be much older and grumpier than the characters they portray.
The characters were later used in an advertising campaign for [[Dairylea (cheese)|Dairylea]] products on British television, and made a cameo in the eighth episode of ''[[Rex the Runt]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atomfilms.com/film/pib_pog.jsp?channelKeyword=channel_cartoon_violence |title=AtomFilms: Pib and Pog (2003) |accessdate=7 February 2007 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011105415/http://www.atomfilms.com/film/pib_pog.jsp?channelKeyword=channel_cartoon_violence |archivedate=11 October 2007 }}</ref>
