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.

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 😊

First off I just want to start by saying how much the wait was worth. It was worth it definitely, this show is one of the weirdest (in the good way) shows I have ever watched. It was like watching the muppets but much more dark and scary. It's so hard to describe why it's such a perfect show, it's more of a "watch and you will see" type good. I hope this show goes on as long as it needs too cause I could watch a 3 hour movie with just these 3 puppets and not be bored the whole time. If you like horror but not too much and the muppets. You will love this show to death. A must watch, and in my opinion a masterpiece. Very short review cause I just wanted to say how good the show is while also supporting it the most I can.

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.
