Not sure when these would have been released; probably some time after the year 2000. I can't remember when I first saw them; probably at least 5 years ago.
It was a series of short films about a family (dad / mum / son) portrayed by these very rudimentally-animated black and white silhouettes of faces in extreme closeup. Their eyes and mouths were just cutouts.
The mum and dad always referred to each other as 'Mr [surname] / Mrs [surname]'. I want to say their surname was Tracy and the son was called Timmy, but I'm not sure.
All three spoke with emotionless text-to-speech voices over eerie ambient music. The parents had British-accented TTS while the son had an American-accented TTS.
The films would just be darkly humourous conversations between the three characters.
In one of the films, the parents talked about a TV documentary they saw about young adults getting drunk and being promiscuous on holiday. They were both seemingly outraged by it; but then it becomes clear the dad has been secretly watching more episodes of the documentary (presumably for his own sexual gratification).
EDIT: I think they were also worried about making sure Timmy didn't see the documentary and/or they later recognise footage of Timmy in the documentary, apparently up to no good?
(Timmy's TTS voice sounds like a 10 year old but I believe it was ambiguous how old the character of Timmy actually was.)
We also never actually see the TV; only the three characters talking about it.
EDIT #2: I've just had a strong memory that the son's name was actually Terry?
