Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

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!

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.

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.
