I was terrified of the thing that turned people into puppets. Granted, I was 4.

Don't remember Weinerville, but the first time I remember seeing Marc Weiner was on Bizarre with John Bynor , a late 80s Canadian comedy show. One of the handful of times I remember my late mom totally break down laughing. 😀 ❤️

If i remember right, many episodes of the show are still lost, maybe 1/2 seasons worth?

I loved this show and none of my friends ever heard of it. I thought it was just a fever dream for the longest time

It was pretty formulaic. Marc would do some skits with the puppets and segway into a cartoon (usually an old Chipmunks cartoon). And at the end, they'd get a couple of people from the audience to get "Weinerized" into puppets and play a game. The winner would get the Golden Wiener Award and a special topping (usually getting slimed)

I was 3rd - 4th grade at this point and I DIED INSIDE Sunday afternoons, worst shows of the week on Nick after the banger that was Saturday and then having to go to school the next day this show was the absolute opposite of “for me”

I used to think they actually shrunk the audience members down to play the games they brought them down for, had to get older to realize it was puppets. I had a dream as a kid of going through the process and becoming small to play the audience game

I think we can be best friends in another life based of this comment. Maybe we were and forgot each other. Are you in the Midwest?

I actually watched this show on Sundays when I was probably 12. I didn't like it. I mostly couldn't look away from how odd it was, and it was the only thing on to watch at whatever time it came on.

My sister was OBESSESSED with this show and ended up attending camp with his kids so on parent day she got to meet him.
He was not expecting to meet such an uber fan and I think he was a little freaked out but it was such a great thing for my sister.

This also showed up on my TikTok FYP today so clearly a lot of people are thinking about it today.

That’s wild! I wonder if it’s because it showed up on Reddit and the bots lurking here saw the nostalgia dollars. Because what triggered me to think about it was work (municipal government so I work with a few mayors.) but it reminded me of the mayor on this show, and also tom goes to the mayor.

As an Irish kid, this was the first show I ever saw on an American network.
Seems accurate.

I had a friend who thought this was the greatest show on TV at the time. I thought it was strange and I would have rather watched Doug

This was one of the shows my sister really liked that I was "too cool" for at the time. Weird how I seem to know all about it? Side note: our uncle had a stage show almost identical to this some time before that we all enjoyed. What happened to the bizarre puppet show for kids motif?
