Their heads are placed on small puppet bodies, and their voices are made to sound higher. The show uses many of the funny sketches that first appeared on the show Dick & Dom in da Bungalow.

The Story of Diddy Movies
When Diddy Dick and Dom arrived in Hollywood, their boss, Larry, wanted them to make movies. He hoped they would become famous millionaires. After making each movie, they would watch it at the cinema.
Every movie started with a silly advert. The films were full of hilarious and disastrous moments, often due to low budgets. At the end of each movie, Dick and Dom would tell Larry that their film was great. However, the audience would pause, then get upset and disgusted. The credits would roll during this chaos.
Despite the audience's reaction, Dick and Dom would always have an idea for their next movie. Larry would usually think it sounded terrible and get mad. But in the end, he would like their idea and give them money anyway!
