The premise
Here’s the bit.
Playing the Duffer brothers, the creators admit they forgot to give Lucas a family and offer a sneak peek at season two to fix it. As Mike, Dustin and Lucas bike off to find Will in the Upside Down, Lucas’s mother and father arrive, furious that he has been missing for days. The parents brush off the boys’ supernatural explanations, write off a sobbing Joyce Byers and break Eleven’s telekinetic hold with a countdown of their own. When Chief Hopper turns up, the Sinclairs recoil, grow uneasy about how close he is to the children and march Lucas home.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Baby, people who look like us already live in the Upside Down.
Boy, I will beat your Upside Down.
Yeah, these are some of my closest friends. I don't like the way that sounds.

A little extra
Notes from the archive.
In Stranger Things’ first season, Lucas’s parents are seen only briefly and silently, standing behind him at Will’s funeral, the gap this sketch’s premise lampoons.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
