Ok, these guys are GENIUSES!!! :aah:

They're an Austrilian comedy duo who specialize in miming and sound effects.

Here's their site: http://www.umbilicalbrothers.com/site/

 

The Umbilical Brothers are Shane Dundas and David Collins.

Here are their persoal bios:

 

Shane

The biographical details Shane gave us are slightly questionable, but here goes:

 

Born twelve thousand years ago on the planet Zargoth, Shane was raised by space bunnies until he was old enough to hop on his own. Hoping to make a name for himself in the Quargo System as a hard-bitten space mercenary, he trained at the Lenny Spiegelman Academy for Astro Cadets. (Don't try and find it today, the site was bought out by a roller disco, which subsequently burnt to the ground.)

 

It was during his first training mission that he pressed the wrong button and ejected himself to Earth, landing in his "parents" backyard in suburban Australia, which is not unlike his home planet. There he spent many happy years mowing lawns and watching television - often simultaneously. It is rumoured that he worked in a paramilitary organisation in the mid-eighties, possibly the Brownies, but details are understandably sketchy.

 

Shane continued to harbor dreams of space cadetship and came to the conclusion that if he couldn't fly for real, he could at least pretend - either in a loony bin or on stage. It was in that loony bin he met David, his brother and comrade in stupid ideas. The rest is history. Shane has twenty-seven sisters and an imaginary friend called Bruce, who is apparently a blue rhino. Shane has never been to the Oscars, unless you count the open day, which he found quite impressive.

 

David

David describes himself as a massively underdeveloped genius who doesn't like the word pungent, and believes luck is a state of mind. For 6 years David tried to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, but "society" dictated that he couldn't because he didn't look or sound anything like him. Oh "society", when will you learn? Tragedy is a lack of imagination. David can run the 100meter sprint in world record time. Not from a standing start, but with the wind behind him and running down a very steep hill. He is often found yelling at audiences "If you can't see what's happening, you're not using your ears!" Suffice to say, he's a bit odd. Warning: Too much David Collins can result in chaffing, irregular heartbeat or even death. If you or a loved one has seen David Collins perform, contact the law offices of Clem Funknuckle.

 

I found them when was watching a children's show with my sister, The Upside down Show. I thought it was pure genius and hilarious! It had me in tucks every nigth. Sadly the series only made it through one season, even tho it won 2 awards, because Nicolodeon wasn't making money off of murchandise. But they still show it and I'm watching and rewatching those 13 episodes faithfully.

Here's some clips:

Shmuzzies

Shmuzzies are my favourite part. They're fuzzy little things that speak Shmuzzish. They put 'Smh' in front of theirwords. David can understand them easily but Shane constantly misinterprets them. Usually with funny outcomes.

Forgot To Knock

A popular theme in the show is that the boys must knock before entering a room and they often forget.

And here's some other good stuff. I like their simple short skits like these but they had their own tv show too.

 

Skating

I'm perfectly happy talking to myself in here :roftl:

 

Velcro World:

Shane: If you're gonna clap you have to do the velcro clap and that's the single clap followed by the exerted release.

 

*they do it*

 

Shane: Can everyone do it?

 

David: it's like a p-f-f-t

 

*everyone does it*

 

*the boys laugh*

 

I must say, they are incredably adorable :wub2:

...But they don't air it anymore, there's an even lamer (in a bad way) and more kiddy show called WonderPets that replaced it. Pffft. Like I would ever watch that. -shifty eyes-

There's only 13 episodes :naughty: I wish Nicolodeon would have singned them on for more :sneaky2: My whole family watches it :naughty: It's so kiddish and so adult at the same time :roftl:

Wonder pets? I don't really care for that show. I do like Yo Gabba Gabba tho :naughty:

 

I'm hoping they tour America again soon :aah:

I can't believe you're posting stuff about the umbilical brothers! Wow. I didn't even know they had a kids show. I guess I can't say I really got into them.

 

If you want to see them doing something more "adult", this is quite funny.

:fisch:

Yes, I ADORE the kids show! I can't believe it got canceled. I love their adult stuff too :naughty: I've been watching them for the past few days.

Neither did I...

 

 

I was always more into Tripod and DAAS... :bow:

:naughty: Really? I like to glomp.

 

*pause*

 

...

 

*GLOMP*

 

 

Ok, me too. I'll let you know if I figure out anything :thumb_yello:

 

 

 

 

 

:lmfao:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3uAONtgRvI :lmfao:

 

:aah::roftl:

 

 

I think we should go to one of their shows... Then sneak into their dressing rooms, and hide in their closets. Lame, but it's the best I could think of. When the time comes, we tie them up with rope and get a van.:mf_rosetinted:

 

Uh... Can you drive? Are you old enough to? :roftl:

 

I'm only thirteen... Although, I can drive bumper cars pretty well. That's it! We rent two bumper cars.

 

 

There we go.

 

 

I am so hyper right now... :teehee:

 

PENGUINS ARE AWESOME. :aah:

I was watching the link you posted and my son came over and saw and went "Oh, these guys are comedians! I saw them on the upside down show!" And I'm like "??? Where did you see that?"

 

So, obviously, I'm out of the loop.

Hahahaha! You should check it out :thumb_yello: It's just like their other stuff except cleaned up for kids :naughty:
