Hamilton, Alex Broadhurst, Debra Hawkins and Alice McGregor were formerly writers for the then-popular puppet hobbyist magazine Marionette World. Junk in the Trunk has won 9, and has nominated for an in 1996 for best popular arts.

Format
The series mocks American and British popular culture, referencing toys, movies, television, games, popular fads, and more obscure references like anime shows and older television programs, much in the same vein as comedy sketch shows like and its British adaptation Sunlight Friday Live. It intertwines puppetry and miniature effects (in a manner similar to 's ) of toys, puppets, claymation, and various other objects, such as tongue depressors, pegs, and popsicle sticks.

One particular motif involves the idea of fantastical characters being placed in a more realistic world or situation (such as requiring a corn syrup transplant after losing his abilities because of aging,  doing a   for the humans, and  having problems in the bedroom).
