Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
