There is little consent from the characters, as they are continually forced into scenarios against their will because of their teachers. Related: Courage the Cowardly Dog: Scariest Moments That Creeped Out Kids It illustrates the power structures often found in society, where those in control are seen as authoritative figures that people must follow regardless of their feelings. There is a clear sense of control in how they manipulate and command the main characters to obey their orders while praising them for doing so. Must see for horror fans and puppet fans alike.Įpisode 1 Aired Jobs Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck have an important day of 'nothing' booked in, but Duck is outraged and demands to have something to do - that something turns out to be something called a job.ĭetails Episode 2 Aired Death Duck learns that he is in fact dead because he had forgotten to drink water Red Guy and Yellow Guy are a bit confused by this, since there are usually three of them.ĭetails Episode 3 Aired Family When Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck meet adorable twins who point out that they shouldn't be living together because they're not related, the guys begin to question their relationship.ĭetails Episode 4 Aired Friendship The gang is excited to get online using their computer, but Yellow Guy has lost the password luckily, a confident worm named Warren steps in and shows the guys the true meaning of friendship.ĭetails Episode 5 Aired Transport Questioning where things go when they're not where they should be, and a leaky old train teaches Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck about transport Red likes the idea of going on a journey, but it's not that simple.ĭetails Episode 6 Aired Electricity The guys realize that everything that has wires is part of the electric family, and they meet Electracey the Meter to look at all the things in their house to see which have wires - it turns out that many do.The Don't Hug Me I'm Scared universe is one where conformity and order are strictly enforced by the antagonists (also referred to as teachers) of each episode.

Looking back at the original pilot sketch (from the Sundance Film Festival), I am severely disappointed by the squandered potential this show had.Ī creative, insightful, frightening, surreal, hilarious, surreal, and excellent series that stands (as both a YouTube series and a television series) on only the highest pedestal of quality. Just a bunch of drawn out, random nonsense. This new series on the other hand is horrendously unfunny and flat out stupid.

The YouTube shorts were amazing! They did a good job at parodying kids shows and had the perfect combination of humor and eeriness. Most underrated TV show of the past decade. I will however say that the show has really amazing art and blends different mediums well. I'm also not a preschooler, so I don't need to be learning about these concepts which take up a large portion of the episode. There's really no plot, no character development, and everything resets for the characters at the end of the episode. Then it goes on to get 'dark' but I feel like it was lazily done and it's just dark for the sake of being dark. The characters have absolutely no clue about preschool-level concepts like friendship, death, and electricity. Maybe I just don't get it, but to me it was kind of boring and frustrating. I use to be afraid of this, but now I see it as a well done and hilarious satire of most topics will being dark at the same time
