What's not incorrect while watching this. The Way the tension rises, from strange to insanity. A perfect culmination that begs to be examined.

Three non-threatening puppets sit around a table while a singing notebook encourages them to be creative. This is the simple idea here and it is laid out to be a very convincing children's television show as the notebook sings about imagination and creativity in a very generic way. This song is catchy but also has some really great lines and moments – "green is not a creative color" being my favorite because it made me laugh and also reminds us that generally trying to "teach" creativity will just need to reinforce bounds rather than encourage freedom.

The notebook gets what it wants as the three characters start to explore whatever comes to their imaginations, leading to some disturbing images and situations which very quickly take the cheerful little short out of the world of kids TV and into the dark world that lies inside. It is very cleverly done because it is funny, spot on as a satire and really well made. I see that the film has 12 million views on YouTube and, although I had never heard of it, I am not surprised that it struck a chord.

The characters are learning something but there is always something that goes wrong. It is very interesting and will give you chills. It is violent and disgusting.

This traumatized me as a kid. In my eyes it's about the blissful innocence of youth and how that changes when you get older. Here it's expressed through blood and gore and creepy dancing, when the real life parallel would be being exposed and jaded to the horrid reality of life as you get older. War, sexual abuse, pornography, crime, all that stuff. To me it's about how sudden and crazy growing up really is and how you brain becomes screwed up as you age. When you're a kid being creative sounds wonderful, and it's mostly portrayed here as a wonderful thing until the end. They reveal the dark side that Sesame Street would never show you and that's continued throughout all 6 episodes. Creativity is usually great, but people like Osama Bin Laden or Ted Bundy had to be creative to pull off what they did. You can get creative with a gun and a bunch of weapons. It's incredibly well done in every respect.

Honestly this is less of a review and more of a head's up. There is a dont hug me I'm scared tv show coming out on channel 4, a British channel. I love the series and I am very excited for the show so that's your warning.

I remember watching this British comedy horror web series for the first time in July 2013 and I was twenty-three years old in that year. I thought I never saw any web series like that before in my entire life. It's kinda very dark, bizarre and disturbing but it's also very funny and entertaining. I absolutely love the series. It appears to be a dark version of an American children's television programme Sesame Street.

It's definitely not for kids as it seems to be way too frightening for kids as we know.

Anyway Red Guy is my favourite character in the series and my favourite teachers in the series are Tony, Colin and Sketchbook as well.

First episode from a provocative serie, it is far to be a comfortable animation. It reminds "Sesame Street" and this is the first piece of its eccentricity. It is an eulogy of creativity but its tools are far for children. It propose the happiness as rule but, in same measure, a bizarre cake. Sure, it is an Youtube experiment. Nice. And bizarre.

Idk what more to say.

My pfp on most social media is the green guy that looks like yellow guy from episode 6, so if you follow or know me, you probably already know that I'm a fan. This show is extremely creative, amazing songs, amazing puppetry that would make Henson proud.

Truly one of the best series on the internet, and to this day, it leaves us guessing what it all meant.

DHMIS is a weird, surreal psychological horror show, in the style of educational kid's shows, such as Sesame Street. It is also a meta-commentary on not just the influence commercialism can have on children's media, especially educational children's TV, but also the effect these types of shows can have on children. There really is nothing like it. Every episode starts off fairly light-hearted, but as it goes on, it becomes more horrifying and surreal. This is one big mashup of subversion, and it's crazy nature keeps you constantly entertained. I love nearly everything about this show. This show is one excellent allegory, and is the greatest web series of all time. 10 stars.
