WATCH – Embarrassing Tinder Stories Told By Puppets Is Pure Genius

It's like Muppets, but NSFW

Ellen Tannam

Nearly everyone you know has an embarrassing or bizarre Tinder story to tell, but this Australian TV show has taken the method of telling those tales to new and delightful levels.

The series called No Strings Attached is set to air on ABC’s video-on-demand platform after being spotted first on YouTube under the title Tales From Tinder.

The show’s producer Emma Watts spoke to Mashable about how hearing her friends Tinder stories gave her the idea for the show:

“I realised there was something in the air. There were all these amazing Tinder stories, and there wasn’t really anyone capturing them. So I started recording my friends’ and family’s Tinder stories, not sure what to do with them … then I realised a friend of a friend of mine is a puppeteer.”

The puppets are custom made for each participant, with an interview then taking place between Watts and themselves as they relay their mortifying experiences.

We hope this show gets syndicated to RTÉ because we know a fair few stories that deserve a retelling featuring puppets.
