Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

Full disclaimer: I love DHMIS, and I love everything about the web series. I also like this. So with that out of the way, let's get into my nitpicks

1. Length - I feel as though it was drawn out compared to say the original where the longest episode was 10 minutes and was entertaining throughout.

2. Comprehension - While, yes, the original one wasn't that comprehensible either, but was still easy to follow along with, which is where this suffers. Especially toward the end.

3. Lore - Theories were a big part of the original DHMIS, and the lore was packed throughout. The story moved forward, while every episode in this starts as a clean slate. Plus, it's hard to see where this would fit into the timeline. Especially with the brilliant end to the first one. This is June 20th, but still feels like we're stuck on the 19th. Plus Roy was very underused in this, and a lot of the lore seems to contradict nearly every theory people came up with for the first one.

And that's all I have to say. Just a few nitpicks I have with the new show. Once again I did thoroughly enjoy this series, especially the last two episodes, but this just isn't as good as the web series.

Don't hug me I'm scared is quite simply a very entertaining comedy horror while also parodying the style of children's television shows.

This show is scary. More so than the original YouTube shorts. Not only does it body horror shock you to the core but it's psychological horror is also surprisingly effective.

This show is also absolutely hilarious. It's fantastic sence of deadpan humour really juxtaposed the sheer horror of the situation at hand and also never interrupts the horror when it goes full on.

The show tricks you with long stretches of unsettling comedy only to be suddenly hit with sudden and extreme violence.

You will never predict it's next move story wise, that is for certain.

Absolutely watch it, there is nothing quite like it.

I remember watching and loving the original YouTube episodes years ago, and boy were they something else. These long-form episodes continue the brilliance.

"Messed up seaseme street" is a common trope, but Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is the peak. The songs are catchy, the characters lovable, and the storytelling just the right balance of charming and terrifying.

This definitely has a different vibe from the original YouTube shorts, but not for the worse. I immediately felt like re-watching all six episodes again after finishing, and I am sure I'll re-watch them again shortly after that. Fantastic job!

Honestly this is the best ad probably the only good animated horror we've gotten recently next to mad god, and that one still got a little rusty, and besides for that movie we barely got a glimpse at good horror animation maybe even since 2012, i can't even start to believe what this Youtube internet series has become, it is incredible and i barely can see anything wrong with it at all

i'm so glad this show exists and i'm also glad that the gore isn't terrible looking and overused in one whole scene, and when they try to make it seem like a "sesame street clone" and they don't fail at doing so, amazing show, really.

The genius British web-series created by Joseph Pelling and Becky Sloan has been green lit for a while. And after years of setbacks and delays, it's finally here.

The show is toned down and different from the original version. Much slower, and the episodes are mostly dark throughout rather than having a horrifying build-up. That said, it's different, but still a great show. The songs are still catchy, the puppet work is still impressive, and the humor is still.

Honestly, I am disappointed that we didn't get Wakey-Wakey, and that most of us will probably never see it. From what is on the internet. Wakey-Wakey seemed much more in the spirit of the original. However, this new take on DHMIS is still great, and just another reason why everyone should watch the original show.
