Cocky the Cockroach

Cocky the Cockroach is a humorous reoccurring character that has appeared on the political internet talk show, and vlog- Libera Talks.

"Cocky" is the nickname of an Oriental Cockroach, a species of cockroach that prefers damp and dark areas; the cockroach has become a political reference point of the dismal state Doggerland's worst kept federal prison, Yunberg Prison.

History
The Oriental Cockroach first appeared on episode 162 of Libera Talks and was noticed mid monologue where Libera, the host of Libera Talks stopped mid conversation to attempt to kill the cockroach with the heel of her shoe. The cockroach did not die, and instead kept crawling around like nothing happened. The show was temporarily halted as Libera frantically attempted to catch the cockroach, saying, "You're a cocky little fella aren't yah?" Libera eventually was able to get the attention of a guard in the prison who offered to hold the camera for her while she trapped the insect under a clear plastic water cup.

The following episode Libera agreed with her fans to name the cockroach "Cocky". Sense then, the cockroach has appeared sequentially on every episode of the show. Libera will occasionally let the cockroach crawl on her pointer finger and display him for the camera before putting him back under the cup with scraps of food. She admitted that the cockroach was part of her vendetta to make her show more lighthearted and less depressing. It's unclear if the current cockroach in the show is the same cockroach, but ether way Cocky has officially become the mascot of Libera's prison reform movement.
