Trivia
In early January 2020 the YouTube algorithm deemed the video «For Kids», despite its gore and horror scenes. The comment section was disabled, and the video added to the YouTube Kids app.

Goofs
Underneath the table in the shot of the puppets, it was thought that the puppeteer's bare foot was visible. However, this was Red Guy's foot.

Quotes
Notepad: Take some sticks and leaves, and arrange them into your favorite colors!
Red Guy: Blue!
Duck: Red!
Yellow Guy: Green!
Notepad: [Holds an X over the word] Green is not a creative color!

Crazy credits
A saxophone plays over the credits, becoming very wild and shrill. Then, an actor remarks at how awful it sounded.

Best web series I've ever watched

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 hooked. And I love the fact that this dives into something that is very serious, kinda like a Pixar movie. I also love the amount of detail in every FRAME. I love nearly everything about this show. This show is one excellent allegory, and is the greatest web series of all time. 10 stars.
