Summary[edit]

Shane Dundas and David Collins (Of The Umbilical Brothers Fame) play brothers who live together in a strange house with a variety of unusual rooms en route to a place they go to for the very first time. When they arrive at their destination, a fast-motion sequence of them visiting the place is shown.

Characters[edit]

  • David – David Collins plays himself, who has dark, curly hair and wears either cargo shorts or capris, sneakers, and a striped polo shirt. He has super-sensitive hearing (only functional when he makes a 'do-do-do-do' sound effect at the same time but in the scene of the episode 'Marching Band,' he doesn't use the 'do-do-do-do' and his SSH [acronym of Super-Sensitive Hearing] work automatically) and, as shown in episodes, a super-sensitive sense of smell.
  • Shane – Shane Dundas plays himself, who is bald and wears long cargo pants, hi-top sneakers, and a blue T-shirt featuring the symbol for 'slow motion' as found on most electronic devices.
  • Mrs. Foil – The only other regularly appearing human character, Mrs. Foil is the boys' friendly neighbor. She is blonde and wears a bright pink, orange, yellow or even purple ladies' business suit, ladybug pin, pink, orange, yellow or even purple stockings, and pink, orange, yellow or even purple shoes. She can play the tuba and often offers comedic quips such as 'See you later, alligators', 'Got to go, penguin toes' or 'Uh-huh!'. Mrs. Foil is portrayed by actress Amanda Bishop (who also appears in various other segments, not necessarily as Mrs. Foil, but as a generic lady).
  • Puppet – Puppet is a mottled, greyish and brown hand puppet resembling no particular type of creature. He lives with the brothers and often assists them in their antics. He sometimes appears to be more rational than Shane and David but is often just as silly as the boys. He has a cousin named Mary Annette. Puppet is performed and voiced by puppeteer Mat McCoy. Puppet was built by Puppet Heap.
  • The Schmuzzies – The Schmuzzies are a friendly bunch of fuzzy, ball-shaped creatures who pop up in various places. They come in a wide range of bright colors and speak a language called Schmuzzish ('Schmello, Schmuzzies!'). Shane sometimes appears to be apprehensive of the creatures, while David maintains a good rapport with them and is fluent in their language (which he studied for seven years, 'part-time'). The Schmuzzies were built by Puppet Heap. While their voice is voiced by a uncredited role of Tara Strong
  • Fido the Fly – Fido is Shane's (imaginary) pet fly who lives behind a tiny door in the boys' apartment. Fido communicates to Shane by buzzing (voiced by Shane). He is first mentioned in 'Barbershop' and makes his first appearance in 'Art Museum'. He is an avid tennis player.
  • The Voice – an authoritative male voice sometimes speaks to Shane and David, generally reminding the duo to knock before entering a room (i.e. 'You forgot to knock,' or, 'Aren't you forgetting something?', followed by 'Come in' when they do so). Based on the off-screen Tina from Speedmouse, The Voice sometimes demands specific types of knocks before giving the boys consent to enter a room (in episodes 'Camping', 'Picnic', and 'Beach'). Another voice narrates when the boys finally reach their intended destination 'for the very first time'.
  • Action Fingers – Occasionally Shane and David need to call upon the resources of two rough-and-tumble figures, Knuckles (on Shane's left hand) and Pointy (on David's right hand). These two-digit adventurers are performed by Shane and David when they 'let their fingers do the walking' over various props and scenery. They serve as the show's superheroes.
  • Bob the Blanket – Bob is a small, white 'blanket' (more the size of a hand towel) belonging to David (who also performs his voice). He speaks in a rough voice with an American accent and employs a sardonic wit. Bob only appears in 'Barbershop' and very briefly in 'Camping.'
  • Spot the Chair – Spot is David's pet chair who plays a game called, 'Fly on the Chair' with Fido, who he is good friends with. He only appears in 'Pet Shop' and very briefly in 'Picnic.'

Before Title Sequence[edit]

Simply Simon Thoroughbred Gelding

Each episode begins with a cold opening showing one or both brothers in the middle of some activity, typically involving something imaginary. After greeting the audience, David introduces 'The Remote' by pretending to be holding a remote control. He explains that The Remote can control the action on-screen. He demonstrates by pressing various buttons, which control Shane's actions. For example, 'Fast Forward' causes Shane to move and speak fast, 'Pause' causes him to freeze, 'Rewind', which causes anyone to move and speak backwards, and 'Mute', which causes Shane to speak without any sound. In many episodes, David discovers a previously unknown 'Wild-card Button,' such as 'Humongous' (and its opposite, the 'Minute' button). This button causes some strange and/or undesired effect. He presses unknown buttons on the remote after saying 'Hmm, I wonder what this button does', 'Ooh, haven't seen this button before.' or 'Ooh, I wonder what this button does.' David then offers The Remote to the viewer and 'hands it over' by reaching off-screen downward. The brothers direct the viewer to 'press the Play button.' At this point, a strange and/or undesired effect happens ('Uh-oh, I think someone pressed the _____ button'). The brothers encourage the viewer to fix the situation by pressing a button for the opposite effect. When they ask the viewer to 'press play' a second time, Shane says 'But whatever you do, don't press the -' but he is almost finished when the joke is repeated, and the viewer must again press the button for the opposite effect. Finally, Shane and David ask the viewer to 'Just press Play' a third time, and the opening credits begin.

Title Sequence[edit]

The Action Fingers enter the frame and perch on the title, which is flipped upside down. Pointy reads the title as 'Down Upside' due to its position. Realizing the mistake, they help turn the words 'Upside Down' the right way up, and read the title correctly. They then walk along atop the credits until they reach a door. The credits list the stars as David Collins and Shane Dundas, and state that the show was created by Belinda Ward, Shane Dundas, and David Collins.

Plot Structure[edit]

The central objective of every episode is for Shane and David to get to a certain location. However, they do not know how to get there. They spend the episode adventuring through the various red doors in their apartment, as well as searching other places (e.g., under a table, behind a bookcase, inside and behind their sofa and closet). The brothers occasionally request help from the viewers, asking them to press buttons on their remote. Their journey takes them to 'Wrong Turn' rooms. In at least one of the rooms, they encounter a child who teaches them something and sets them on the correct path. The last one is close to their destination. Eventually, they locate their destination and experience something, such as having a picnic, visiting a farm, or an airport, 'for the very first time' and visit the place in fast motion.

Ending[edit]

The show ends with the brothers back in their apartment. During the last few minutes of the show, they give the viewer an imaginary souvenir to thank them for their help throughout the episode. Then, they say goodbye. As the credits begin, Shane and David begin to do things (e.g. in Farm, they play as a rockband with David yelling out as (Executive Producer Michael Bourchier) begins, 'One, two, three, four!' and in Picnic, Shane and David are fighting over the string until at the point (Executive In Charge of Sesame Workshop Jodi Nussbaum) credit appears, Shane and David wave left and right their bodies until at the end of the credits, and in Art Museum, Puppet accidentally surprises Shane and David, until, at the point where the (Executive In Charge of Sesame Workshop Jodi Nubbasum) credit appears, Shane and David laugh until they pause, and Puppet now freely says, 'Whoops, I think somebody just pressed the Pause button.' Then the episode ends with the Sesame Workshop logo.)

Running gags[edit]

There are a few running gags in the show. The main one is the 'Upside-Down' button. When this button is pressed (and it is in every episode but one), the viewpoint shifts, with a silly sound effect, to an upside-down shot of whoever is in the scene. The actors' and puppets' hands are held up in the air to make it look as if they are hanging upside down. One of the boys begs the viewer to press the 'Right Side Up' button, at which point the viewpoint rights itself. Another sequence seen in each episode is the use of the 'Instant Replay' button. The brothers ask the viewer to press this button to see a child do something again. During the slow-motion replay, Shane and David play the role of commentators, narrating the action and assessing the child's technique. A more subtle running gag is the fake pineapple that appears in at least three episodes. Another is the 'Mute button'. Once this button is pressed, Shane speaks without a sound until David presses 'Unmute', which reverses the effects of the 'Mute button' and is only seen in the episode 'Airport'. Next is the 'Rotate' button in the episode 'Pet Shop'. When David or the viewers press this special button, the viewpoint shifts 360 degrees. The next button is the 'Horizontal button', in which whoever is at the scene is put in the sideways position and one of the boys ask the viewer to press the 'Vertical button', which puts the actors in the upright position and is only seen in the episode 'Camping'. This next one is the 'Up button', which makes the actors go up and they beg for the viewers to press the 'Down button' to put them down and is only seen in the episode 'Barbershop'. Next is the 'Stumble button' from the first episode 'Movie Theater'. If David or the viewers press this button, they look like they stumbled and tripped. Up next is the 'Inside button'. If the viewers press this hilarious button, the boys will disappear, then reappear inside a cup and Puppet and the boy's picnic supplies inside the basket. At that moment, the boys beg for the viewers to press the 'Outside button' for the boys to get out of the cup and their picnic basket. Next up, the 'Sandwich button'. In the episode 'Picnic', when Shane and David are in the 'Sandwich Room', Shane asks the viewers to press the 'Sandwich Button' and once that happens, sandwiches appear. Also, fly-sized sandwiches for Fido appear because they were having their first picnic and Fido is sad because he hasn't been on a picnic before.
