Strutter is a television series that was broadcast on MTV in Europe. It stars Paul Kaye as American lawyer Mike Strutter and Thaila Zucchi as his wife. The show focuses on clips of people getting hurt, Strutter making fun of music videos of indie bands, emo bands and boy bands, a German couple who like to mix extreme sports with sexual intercourse, and mock commercials promoting fictitious "Struttergear" merchandise. The show was produced by the Objective Productions comedy office, where Peep Show was made.
The character of Mike Strutter originally appeared in a Dennis Pennis video release named Dennis Pennis RIP: Too Rude to Live in which he "killed off " the Pennis character. Kaye had wanted to do something with the character for years, so he and comedy writer Paul Garner developed a format, with Garner writing the series and appearing as an actor in it. Garner has said in interviews he would sit at home watching TV making his own Strutter-style voiceovers.
The show aired two full series for a total of 16 episodes, in 2006 and 2007.
