Page "You Can't Do That on Television" Paragraph 28

Each episode had an " opposites " segment, introduced by a visual effect of the screen flipping upside down, shifting left to fade to the next sketch, and then righting itself.

Right before this happened, one of the cast would generally be giving a monologue ( or several would be having a group conversation ) that was interrupted by another cast member with something that would ( generally ) be opposite what the monologue ( or dialogue ) was about, all present cast would say, " It must be the introduction to the opposites ", and then the inversion fade would happen ; several sketches would follow that were a tongue-in-cheek reversal of the show's subject of the day, and also in which the normal principles of daily life were reversed, often with children having authority over adults or with adults encouraging children to behave badly ( for example, eating sweets instead of vegetables, or wasting money on something frivolous rather than putting the money in the bank ).

A show on marketing, for instance, would also have a sketch or four of how not to market something.
