The Umbilical Brothers: Difference between revisions

They have done several live shows ''Speedmouse'', ''Don't Explain'' and ''THWAK!'' among others, and were a regular feature on ''The Sideshow''. The Umbilical Brothers also had a television show geared toward children called ''[[The Upside Down Show]]'' that was enjoyable for all ages.

 

 

* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: The Roadie is a borderline nightmarish clown who doesn't entirely hide his distaste for his work and Shane and David.

* [[Credits Gag]]: Just read them. At the end of ''Speedmouse'' for example {{spoiler|"Tina as Roadie; Roadie as Tina"}}.

* [[Dramatic Unmask]]: Spoofed in ''Speedmouse'', where Shane and David rip off the Roadie's clown mask to reveal {{spoiler|another identical clown mask underneath. Which they nevertheless react to as if it's a face that they recognise}}.

* [[DVD Commentary]]: The commentary for ''Speedmouse'' has Shane and David frequently sidetracked or interrupted by the other characters from the show, and when they do provide behind-the-scenes information it's false. Several times, they claim that various imaginary props and characters were actually present in the theatre, but were digitally removed in post-production. At one point, they instead admit that a particular imaginary character really was just a voiceover, then claim that it was intended to be a visible CGI-animated character but all the earlier digital object removal broke the CGI budget.

* [[The Elevator From Ipanema]]

* [[The Faceless]]: Tina.

* [[Hand Puppet]]: {{smallcaps|ACTION FINGERS}}
