The Show

"What Do You Wann Do Now?" is a show about two 12 year old friends who spend their free time in the basement coming up with absurd ways to fight boredom.

The World

In this world everything that happens is accepted as reality. This may include breaking the fourth wall, changing locations at will, talking inanimate objects or anything else.

The Characters

Bru and McPhillips are never in conflict with each other, they are in constant agreement. Bru and McPhillips are 12 year old best friends who have an inexhaustible thirst for fun. Without it, they grow bored and fall asleep.

Tauer Baber, The Next Door Neighbor The boys often invite Tauer to partake in their madness and he happily complies. Every episode, Tauer has a different job and is voiced by a different celebrity guest. For example, his first line would be: “Hi, I’m Tauer Baber, the next door neighbor. This week I’m being voiced by Keegan Michael-Key and I’m a masseuse.”

Scruffles is a brash, mouthy, trouble-making shape shifter, who constantly provokes and teases the boys, which never fazes them.

Typical Episodes

FOOD - The boys run out of food. They decide to start a farm to raise chickens. They start a school and teach the chickens how to go grocery shopping for them. Bru and McPhillips get used to teaching and continue their own studies. Bru gets a masters degree in History and McPhillips gets his doctorate in wearing little glasses. During daily intellectual tea time, they realize they still haven’t eaten. The chickens from before show up with grocery biscuits. McPhillips enjoys his biscuit, while Bru has fallen asleep.

REWARD - The boys find a missing dog but lose the “missing dog reward” sign, so they decide to take flying pills and fly across town to get some burgers. They fall asleep while flying and in their dream they miss getting to meet famous skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek and an actual dragon. Bummed out, they return to the basement and discover that Scruffles has shape-shifted into a model train that leads them to the missing dog reward sign.

PARTY- The boys decide to throw a party in the basement. They need party favors, decorations and people to come to the party. They hold auditions for the entertainment. Amongst those auditioning are Tauer Baber, Rachel Ray, DJ Steve Aoki and Shakira. After that the boys hold auditions for who will be attending the party. Finally everything is set, and with 16 seconds left in the episode, we see a quick party before everyone is sent home.

TAUER’S DATE - The boys accompany Tauer on a blind date and give him fancy, fun things to say so he appears impressive and attractive. They feed Tauer a beautiful opening line. At the next table, a poet laureate overhears the boys’ words and suggests they become poets. Bru and McPhillips go on a three month poetry slam tour all over the world. Upon their return, they see that Tauer is still sitting at the table with his date, waiting for them to give him his second line. And when they do it’s revealed that his beautiful, blonde date has been the shape-shifting Scruffles the entire time.
