Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

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.

I first saw Don't Hug Me I'm Scared back when it was originally released an eternity ago. Checked occasionally to see if they plan on releasing new episodes and was happy to see a new season uploaded on YouTube. The show gets 10/10 for originality and the ability to induce existential fear into viewers. They seem to have cracked a formula that combines story, visuals dialog and editing that makes people feel extremely uncomfortable. Based on the low number of ratings and reviews on Imdb (15 at the times of writing), this show is by definition a hidden gem and I hope it gets recognised soon so that we can keep seeing more of it.

There has to be someone I can personally thank for this masterpiece.

I saw this series after my friend begged me to give it a go. I didn't know I was supposed to start with older videos from 2011-2016 to get more information on the characters. Well, that background information wasn't needed at all. I was in awe of how perfectly DHMIS brought nostalgic seseme street like stories and terrifying surreal horror together. I was very attached to the main characters at the end, which wasn't something I had in my expectations for this show. The offputting and terrifying endings to each episode put together paint a story likely about grief and loss. I'm looking forward to hopefully a second season or more episodes to come!

As somebody who is a fan of the original series, in my mind the new series definitely had some big boots to fill and it turns out it's WAY better than I thought it was going to be and I had high expectations. It has the same character and charm to it the original series has while being new and refreshing! Its got a great dry/dumb sense of humor and it leaves you with more questions than answers- in the best way possible! It is a brilliant watch for people new to the series and a great watch for old fans returning to the series. Whether you've watched the original series or not, I'd recommend to definitely watch this on All 4 if you have any free time! 9/10 love it 😊

My son introduced me to the YouTube series and then the songs were permanently in my head. A seemingly harmless show which devolves into dark and twisted chaos before the clouds of naivety block the receptors again and we and the characters go back to our blind conformity.

The first episode looks to be based the following day if the calendar is to be trusted which it could just as likely not be. One minute your going with the flow of lights and colours and tunes and the next your eyes and bleeding and you realise you've been breathing the toxic fumes of betrayal. In other words it looks like fun and games but perl the Veneer away and see the rot within.

Well Done Joseph, Becky and co.
