Being a Human

Being a Human is the fifth episode of *Dave the Dog Does*.

## Plot

Dave and Ellie get so bored while banging their heads on the bed, which causes them to turn into humans. Ellie finds a chicken face sticker along the way.

## Story

The episode starts with Dave and Ellie, sat on the bed, being bored. Ellie insists on banging her head, and Dave tries as well. But, they turn into humans as they do so! Ellie, realising she is a human, wants to go to the "arts and crafts" area. As they have not been humans for long, they question about the parts on their body and what they are, like mistaking fingers and toes for sausages. Dave picks up a glue stick, and puts it down again. Ellie picks it up to reveal the brand of the glue's name, pronounced "UH-HUH". Dave picks up a pair of Oobi eyes and wiggles them about, before deciding to go around the house.

The scene cuts to Dave and Ellie walking down the stairs. "Stairs is always the worst part of being a human, trust me.", says Ellie. They end up in the living room, just by the arts and crafts area. Ellie finds a "face sticker" in the form of a chicken, as Dave talks to Princess, Croc, Mojo and the letters. Ellie wonders what she would look like with the sticker, so they go to the mirror.

Dave and Ellie go to the mirror, as Ellie is amazed at how she looks. "How come we found this face sticker by the arts and crafts stuff?", says Ellie. Dave comes across a bag reading "***I LOVE MY WEIRD FISH BAG***". Ellie soon decides to go in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Dave and Ellie get on top of the chairs and spin around. Ellie comes up with an idea for a smooth transition and teaches Dave how to do it. They have fun spinning around, before going to the next room by the corner.

In the back room, Dave and Ellie come across a TV, and decide to watch the spinning programme, which is a video of them spinning around on the chairs earlier, and they enjoy it. Ellie comes to an ice cream toy, and fiddles with it. "Shall we go to the next room?", says Dave. "Yeah, prob-er-bly. Prob-er-bly? What..?!", Ellie responds.

The two walk into the bathroom, and find a horrible smell, and a sink. They don't do much and go to the next room straight away.

The next room leads them back to the doghouse bedroom, and they bang their heads again to turn back. Ellie keeps the sticker on her face, as the two play with it. The episode ends.

## Trivia

* This episode was recorded on November 16, 2019, just like "Ellie's Unexpected Surprise" and "Writing Worries ". Ellie's party debris still remains present, as this episode was filmed after. Ellie in this episode refers to it as the "arts and crafts" area.
* The episode's title was originally going to be "Can't Stop Switching", and the plot had Dave and Ellie constantly switch between puppet and human form at random.
* Dave and Ellie watch "The Spinning Show" on the TV, a program featuring reused footage Dave and Ellie as humans on the spinning chairs. The same show is mentioned in *The Hic-Hic-Hic-Up-Up-Up-Ups*.
* Ellie finds an ice cream toy, which has been used in the episode titled "Very Bad Toys" in the original series.
* Hashtag's line "Yeah, that's cool!", from *Ellie's Unexpected Surprise*, is reused in this episode.
* A few concepts were planned but were never in the finale episode. When Ellie in human form walks down the stairs, she was going to wear blue talking high heels which were hard to remove. They would irritate Ellie as she walks, causing her to throw the high heels away.
* Short clips from this episode and *Writing Worries* were shown in the channel's trailer before the episodes released.
* This is the first episode to be released in 2020.
* The 'spinning show' segment was filmed via greenscreen. This same technique is reused in *Dressed as a Dog's Dinner*.
