The Umbilical Brothers - Not Suitable for Children
Dane
Join Dane and Shavid in a brain-melting journey to the most terrifying vista the human mind has ever encountered: the world of childrens’ television. Witness the happy fly dance, purchase the most dangerous contraband, reminisce about beloved TV icons and get extremely moist in a children’s show so wrong that it’s completely unsuitable for children. The Umbilical Brothers’ amazing new live show has been torn off the stage and imprisoned on this disc by lasers. Some cool extras were standing too close and got sucked in as well.

The Umbilical Brothers: The Rehearsal
Director
Taking comedy into the next dimension, up 3 levels and down a hallway… Australia's hottest export since Vegemite (time out NY) are back with a rehearsal. Or are they? This acclaimed show is like nothing you've seen before. Creatively misused multi-media, audience participation, tangents that shouldn't be taken...they'll take you inside their Creative process, and won't let you out until your brain explodes.

The Umbilical Brothers: Don't Explain
Himself
Don't Explain is a selection of tangent skits that contain no overall plot. There are however continuing themes throughout the show, one of which is Dave's attempt to get the hand-held microphone off Shane; this leads to a climax in which they both have microphones and have a Face, Race and Chase Off. Another is the performance of European Visual comedy by Hans and Klaus.
The Umbilical Brothers: Speedmouse
Writer
Taking advantage of the latest advances in performance technology, the boys have upgraded their acting to digital. Using this technology they are able to immediately jump to any routine or fast-forward through the boring bits. Unfortunately, the remote control has gone missing. Tensions arise when their newly-hired roadie clashes with David — he points out that there’s no need for a roadie as there are no props or scenery to move. The situation gets worse when their show controller, Tina, starts playing mind games with Shane.

You Can't Stop the Murders
Dave
Australian small-town cop Gary enjoys his nearly pastoral existence, with traffic violations providing the major excitement to his normally low-key days. While away from work, Gary spends a good deal of time fantasizing about local news reporter Julia, who would just as soon relocate to the thriving metropolis of Sydney. Soon, however, a motorcyclist is found decapitated, with a construction worker, a sailor, and a cowboy and Indian also meeting the same fate. With some murderous weirdo with some sort of Village People fixation terrorizing the town, Gary -- with the help of big-wig city detective and Don Johnson-wannabe Tony Charles -- begins to realize that a cop is the last remaining victim to be murdered in order for the killings to be complete. ...
