The Munchies are a group of human-like puppet characters created and designed by Charlie Tango, Giampietro Cutrino, and Miki Shipperman. They starred in three television series produced by The Munchies, the first two broadcast on Italia 1 and the third on MTV Italia.

In May 2010, a new format was produced on Italia 1, titled Eve e i Munchies. Here, the puppets are no longer engaged in prank calls but in an imaginary story in which they must save the Earth from imminent destruction caused by the Mayans. To do so, they have to overcome space-time limits and retrieve the six elements of the Munchies Code — the only chance of salvation for humankind. All with the help of Eve, the only real human character, played by Evelina Manna.
