He was so done with the microphone's shit, that mere moments after complaining he has no eyelids, he grows them just to look pissed.
Hi l
Yup
What a mad lad
that's the power of hate
Big mood
Fun fact, the green part of the brain is the hippocampus which is an essential part of being creative
Interesting
So it’s THE creative color
Doy, doy, doy, doy, cake at stake.
*SO* *GREEN* *IS* *A* *CREATIVE* *COLOR!!!!!!!*
B-but green is not a creative color-
Something I also liked about episode 1 was how the notebook says “now let’s all agree to never be creative again” it seems like a joke about how everything went wrong, but really it was the notebook manipulating the cast of the show into being scared of creativity.
Rewatching this after the TV show came out. I love these puppets, man. I love people thinking hard about these puppets. I love how much effort was put into specifically this video. It all just makes me happy.
Lol but none of this applies to the TV show. At all
@@billblaski9523 the show might as well be a reboot, but for the web series this is a good analysis
@@billblaski9523 I don't think so. This show is all about breaking the fourth wall after all

End of DHMIS 6: The morning of the next day, why the calendar changes dates. They are in the same location as the first day.

Heh... Figures.... No wonder everyone has gone insane...
TV shows can and do film multiple episodes in a day, to cut costs of renting cameras and stages etc.
😲OMG! I THINK YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT!!
I saw this on a dhmis 6 comment
The very last scene of the show, when they're sitting in the kitchen again, is them reclaiming the show for themselves. The set is fairly sparse, reflecting a lower budget after leaving Roy and the main studio. Everyone is now their favorite color.
They're free
I completely missed the fact that the colors they said are now the colors they are, holy crap! Thank you for reminding me of this, it makes the end so much better 😊
And it's finally no longer father's day.
@@tibby4503honestly, could Roy even be considered a father?
Fun fact: The number of times Nick got interrupted by the mircophone
is the same number of episodes that dhmis season 1 has which is 6.

When a "religion" tells you to cut off connection with everyone you once knew, it means it's a cult.
So wait... if I make a religion based around self quarantining does that mean I'm making a cult because self quarantining means staying away from others and I realize it doesn't mean to nessisarily cut off connection with everyone you know but it means to stay away from them
Issac Munsen Uh yeah that’s a cult
Yeah that’s like the whole point
Just A Bit I thought it was a cult as well
Nonono, a cult wants you to bring everyone you know into the cult, and only cut off connection with those you weren't able to get to join it
This got way deeper than expected, Nick going insane genuinely got me in the mood to hear more, and really made his point even more clear.
I love how you can actually hear his visible anger from the microphone and how he’s actually going crazy from it
Three years later and this is still the most valid take on DHMIS.
@@AbleWizzkid i completely agree. I actually had thise feeligs while watching the series. Everything they "learned" reminded me of what a child would think if adult things.
i personally like the film theorists take on this
Able WizzKid Yeah! I really feel like theirs goes more along with the tone of the series compared to Nick and Matt’s take.
4 years later and this theory has been debunked
Michael Martinez no it hasn’t?
I think a very (obvious but strangely overlooked) important message was missed about the title. Abused children don't want to be hugged while scared. The title is giving away the premise right from the start.
Whether it is in reference of yellow guy being abused by his father, of him being abused by the animate objects, or the broader message of people's intellectual properties being abused by the creators or buyers for the sake of profit is up to interpretation. Personally I think it's all.
Yeah it's obviously abt child abuse and trying to live in a world where the lessons we learned later contradict the ultimate truth we generally know as children.
All those theories are definitely right. No one should stifle creativity after all!
Exactly. It's very fun to analyse all the nitty gritty but sometimes we also need to stand back and remind ourselves of the message. I think a lot of fans forget that part and miss out on just reflecting on a message and absorbing it.
Thats very similar to my theory! Though its just straight up ab//se, I think Matpat proved that Yellow Guy was afraid of horses, horses are in every episode [from what I remember] and a few other things. Everything from episode one to about the beginning of five [not the Red Guy POV moments]. I think that Yellow Guy is ab//sed by his father, both mentally and physically. Red Guy is like a therapist or older friend, trying his hardest to protect and save Yellow Guy. And Duck is an imaginary friend, the only one who is sort of able to comfort him. On top of Yellow's ab//se, I believe he is disabled. Maybe autistic or something like that. Like when he seen the butterfly/bee/fly. He freaks out because it got squished by duck. That's my theory but its not really completed since most of episode six and part of five aren't used due to the pov being Red Guy
Very true, however where does the notion that abused children don't want to be hugged come from? This is pretty much the first time I've heard about it haha

31:46 even as a religious person, especially in the Christian faith, I like how don’t hug me im scared portrays the pushing that extremely religious individuals release on to others, as with any person who believes in something incredibly extensively would. It shows how people use what they believe in as a crutch in arguments or strife when in such situations there needs to be a middle ground.
same
Yeah. As a Christian aswell, I agree with this. It's important to show why we are Christian and what we believe but not force it upon people. If we do, we aren't sharing Good News, but rather removing one's free will (which is not very good) Some problems I've noticed is when myth outshines truth, extremests making their own rules (thus technically making a new religion) another thing I noted is that the "religion" seems to be more cult-like, due to the robes, removing one's old life, and idolatry (which is the worship of an object, rather than God) I'm not going to beat around the bush. From what I've seen in scripture and teaching about homosexuality is that the problem doesn't like with loving another of the same gender, rather the reasoning (which is usually lust, aka adultery) if anyone has anything to add please comment
This. Even the Bible says (directly from the mouth if Jesus Himself) “And when you pray do not be like the hypocrites who preach in on street corners and in temples. Amen I say to you when you pray go to the innermost room of your house and pray in secret and my father, who sees in secret, will reward you.”
TLDR: Don’t needlessly/aggressively preach to people.
Amen
@@Kano_Productions kinda didn’t understand at the “homo” part. Mind elaborate a bit?
i think what the microphone is saying are common negative criticisms of Nick's videos
combined with inner criticisms and normal traits from dhmis teachers
I thought the same, the sing-along being what the criticisms want. "Pandering."
+RobertElBMX Shut up
+Addison Bortion are you trying to censor me hippocrite
+RobertElBMX no, we just don't talk to rata
I think the 3 characters represent the 3 general age groups that these shows target. Yellow Guy represents toddlers/very young children, the Bird represents slightly older child, and Red Guy represents children who are old enough to think for themselves and form their own opinions.
I also think the relationship between Yellow Guy and Roy represents how child actors are often abused by the industry due to basically being sold out by their parents.
Yah I can definitely see that
I think that the Duck actually represents old people, since they are very susceptible to the media
@@jagp135 Interesting theory, but why would boomers be watching a show made for children?
@@niftyrobo I remember when I was younger watching TV with my own grandmother, probably not relevant but it was a common thing for me.
This deserves to be pinned. Not the random comment that is
Notice how in episode 1, notepad tells them to listen to their heart, listen to the rain, and listen to the voices in their head. Then during the "crazy" part you can see red guy playing with a heart, it's raining outside, and you can hear voices in the background.
the use of puppetry in your own clips to put a bigger focus on the points of the show is *astounding* and incredibly creative. Bravo, Nick.
years later and i still wish the globe taught the computer's lesson instead :(
globe seems polite :(
@@lightbluesleeper yeah they'd prolly play acoustic guitar or something.
It would be better and no one is hurt because its planed
I think that the reason why the Globe and the cute little laptop did not talk at all is because the two of them where to actually teach what they where meant to show the main cast, they know what they have to talk about and it was in the agenda for the program. The two of them where real teachers that actually have real and helpfull things to show and know exactly what they are duing. The two of them get interrupted by the old computer, bein overshadowed to prevent them from doing what they are supposed to do. They are good and actually helpfull teachers that truly have something to show and is not stupid or wrong. Actual helpfull good teachers, getting ignored or replaced by the show.
Same :(
Something I realize: When the Mic gets the NM puppet, his lower eyes are Yellow instead of Green, because he is a teacher, and, for the teachers, Green is not a creative color, and puppets are supposed to be creative, but, when NM kills the Mic, the puppet lower eyes become Green, because at that point, Green has become a creative color
And yes, I don't have a life, thank you for asking
thankyou.
Holy crap the attention to detail! Thanks a bunch for pointing that out.
I noticed that, too. I just thought it was the camera or neon green.
Ha!

35:43 I do like how Night Mind made the microphone basically give a strawman. I think it was pretty clever, as Strawmanning is a very common and very underhanded way to both argue and manipulate. And whenever the microphone called Night Mind cat puppet “a dumb cat who likes to shout”, he contradicts himself as he said earlier that the cat sounded monotone. Just like the teachers in DHMIS.
All I’m saying is, ya did a good job Night Mind! Keep it up!
I _could_ rewatch the entire original series as a refresher for the new episodes... _or_ I could listen to you spend 5x longer recapping the episodes than it would take to just watch them.
Totally worth it 😤
both?
@@Feasco Both. Both is good.
Nick: "I kinda miss having eyelids"
Microphone: *starts singing*
Nick: *grows eyelids back just to put on an annoyed and done expression*

I noticed that too! 😂😂😂
Curiosity didn't kill the cat, it made him brilliant.
because the cat questioned things and pawed at it, learning why things did stuff and why it works
@John Stonik a demon that takes the form of a cat
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back
Curiosity killed the cat, not the demon though...
*THE* *DEMON* *KILLED* *CURIOSITY*
"Curiosity killed the cat" is just an excuse to force kids to do what you want them to do, unless you're in a horror movie.
curiosity mentally broke the 4 eyed demon cat.
I always laugh when duck stares at camera after "and we did finish all the chicken." Because I took it to be him emphasizing that he is bird and just committed cannibalism.
i dont think it could be concidered canibalism... a human eating a chimp wouldn't be concidered canibalism
The computer episodes ending is even scarier with all the AI stuff in entertainment recently
the "abusive, manipulating authority figure" thing hits kinda close to home for me. watching this helps.
I can get that, too, and I'm sorry you have to go through that stuff. It really sucks, but I hope you're in a good place right now.
Aye man that sucks hopefully you're in a better place
Sadly same.
Damn, there really needs to be a parenting licence fr.
I'm sad I can relate
Night Mind's little "oh sh*t I'm not being hypocritical right?" moment broke my heart just a little, ngl. Also opened my eyes a little at how much of a blindly accepting passive consumer I am whenever I watch content like this.
O.O
Same it's like a "wait I have been seeing everything wrong"
"I don't want to be a kurtis"
Aye Same Paranoia has saved me many time
ikr his breakdowns were genuinely painful and concerning
•0•
Was anyone else just really mad at the mic almost the entire time?
That son of a crumbly biscuit was a *pain-* but also helped beautifully illustrate what the "show" would be actually doing to the impressionable minds of children, which was also shown by means of Yellow Guy. Wonderfully well thought out and well done, this video-
AND CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THE INSANE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS, OH MY GOODNESS-
Love the cat, that cat is awesome.
Hugs and love, friends :D
I certainly was.
I agree it was a great masterpiece.
This is so perfect. Even just the name "Don't hug me I'm scared" immediately struck me. It hits so close to home even though this isn't really that much about literal children, but rather media and everything they are fed with. It's an old video, but I'm glad I found it
No joke, that microphone's song at the start sounded like something you *would* see from DHMIS
I know! It's almost like that's absolutely and definitely the actual point! How bizarre! What a coincidence!!!!

54:25
Something that I find interesting. Earlier you mentioned that the notepad kept chastising the child saying that "Green is not a creative color." And at the very end, it is revealed that the child was green all along.
They _were_ creative, the whole time, all along. I would like to think that that's completely intentional. That the notepad, being angered the child's natural creativity, decided to get rid of that creativity by cutting the child off from the source. Themselves.
Damn, I just thought they changed into their favorite colors.
jesus christ, thats fucking sad ;(
@@darkmomokocore3919 either theory is valid. I like to think they turned into their favorite colors in the end, but I can see the validity of the other theory too

Mircophone: You're covering this too late!!
Me, watching this in 2022: Allow me to introduce myself...
Despite how long I've been watching Nigtmind for whatever reason I've never seen this video which is too bad because it's such an interesting show to not only watch but to dissect and think about. Plus I adore puppet Nightmind and hope to see him return if Season 2 is ever covered.
"Torture and Manipulation disguised as Teaching"
Sounds a lot like School
Agreed
it is school
Lol, I love you now.
What a bunch of wussies. You think school is bad? Try a job.
I mean, it depends on the instructor. There's obviously some authoritarians in school who want to push their own ideologies onto children without much justification, but there's obviously others who simply need to keep to a class schedule and have to maintain order in the classroom.
Being a teach is a massive balancing act, after all.
TL;DR: Fucking liberal indoctrinators... ;v
I believe that the creativity episode is representing how school kills children's creativity by punishing them for being outside the box.
I completely agree. Im neurodivergent, having adhd and am questioning if i have autism, and the first episode felt like when my teachers would tell me im "learning the wrong way" or they would tell me to be myself then punish me for actually speaking up about my confusion or disagreements. I view and do things so different from my peers and have gotten punished for it my whole life, mostly by teachers. Watching the episode connected to me so deeply and visualized it so well
@@fallenangely0hane the way I see it is that the school system has to kill kids creativity. Because if it doesn't then there won't be enough people working nine to fives to make the world go around. If everyone's doing something creative then everything will likely go to shit. It's just really sad that it has to come at the cost of kill creativity
It’s designed to pump out factory workers and other jobs like that that but that’s a stupid idea it’s outdated and they still fail to update it to now but they also attempt to with updating to customer service that’s fucking ridiculous
It's actually yes the school say that you can state you're opinion but you get in trouble for doing so
@@ReflexPancake do we even need grades?
Someone finally mentioned the "he's made for her and she's made for him" bit. It always was so off to me
Anyone notice how as the microphone got more and more aggressive, the studio kept deteriorating in condition? First with the wallpaper being ripped off at around 35:36, around the time the mic started to become very judgmental, then the clock leaking oil around 45:14, followed by the calendar as the mic become more aggressive and pressures Night Mind into going a lot faster and tells them that their ideas aren’t original, and that they should give up and quit, along with making a puppet and mocking them. This is around the point where the microphone is becoming very aggressive. Then at 46:00 the room is covered in words such as “Give Up”, “Quit”, “Liar”, “Wrong”, “Fake”, “Corrupt”, and “Fail”. The ink blots are at their worst at this point and the microphone has reached it’s most aggressive point. (I realized I made a mistake on when Night Mind goes a lot faster. It appears after the words are on the wall. I am not going to go back and change it. That would be excessive) Then at 49:24 we cut back to the studio. The mic asks if they feel better, and Night Mind stands up to the thing that has been stifling them the entire time. The mic then tells them to turn off the camera, saying that there is nothing left to say, and that what Night Mind is saying was made for him by others. The mic then says a line of which thats delivery is exquisite. “Let’s get creative.” The mic then starts to go above the desk, demanding Night Mind to sing while Night Mind is telling him to leave. The mic tells them that it’s easier to quit, and that they KNOW it’s easier to quit. Night Mind then tells the mic that he is a hijacker, among other things. This is true. The mic is angry at this point, but not aggressive. We cut to Night Mind’s studio at 54:28, and what I presume to be the pieces of the mic on the table. The studio is restored, as the corrupt teacher is gone. My interpretation of the studio is that over the course of time, as a child is told by adults around them that this has to be done that way, and by not doing that they’re doing something wrong, the child’s mind becomes more and more full of lies they tell themselves. Lies like “Giving up is easier.” And “If I don’t do this in this way, I’m a failure.” By questioning the things they’ve been taught, they can reveal the fact that they have been lying about themselves being worthless and wrong. By saying “I don’t want this anymore.” Instead of going along blindly with what the adults say is right. And yes, I have been writing this for about two hours.

I think something that Nick missed was the notion that Red Guy was the actual creator of the series, or at least had ideas that were different from the norm, different from everyone else, but wasn't sure how to present those ideas to others. When he tries to perform his song about creativity at the night club, Roy is there. The implication is that Roy offered Red Guy the opportunity to get the show made. The stuff with Red Guy waking up in an office was a flashback.
six years later and I'm still blown away by this

The name "don't hug me I'm scared" probably implies that they were teached to not be scared, no matter how bad it is.
Fear is a good thing because that is the thing that tells us something is wrong, they were taught the opposite.
Just my theory though

This is one of the only good dhmis explained vids. It actually goes in depth about the messages and symbolism instead of trying to tie together some shit narrative than doesn’t make sense
Goddamn I know I’m very late but the way his set devolved around him is a very creative and fascinating addition to the video it adds more depth to the whole thing and I hope Night Mind is very proud of that.
The interruptions add a way to kind of see into the creators mind, a way of seeing (even if it’s exaggerated) insecurities or negative comments and how they can affect someone over time.
The aggressive ways he tells the mic to shut up and the entire way he goes through the explanations showing how he feels about the mics interruptions is just fascinating to me.
Also could be a clue to channel lore because of the fact that Nick has already said he's a demon. Fun.
Yeah this is a message to us as well to tell us how he is doing mentally in the end on top of a video explaining the lore in-depth of dhmis
Lol you thought you were late 😆
another little thing to be added is that the show goes in chronological order of the day in question, june 19th. The three characters wake up and eat breakfast in episode one, watch television and wash up in episode two, eat a picnic lunch in episode three, play a game and relax in episode four, eat dinner in episode five, and finally go to bed in episode six. The entire show takes the place only in one day.
stoplite de-lite
Now that I think about it, yeah, you're right. And then at the ending it's morning, June 20th. And how much of a messed up day that was
The little details add lots.
But the day took 5 years

stoplite de-lite thats what I thought too!!😮😮😮😮😮😮
At 29:13 they talk about how the duck stares at the camera for a couple seconds because they cant be creative and doesnt know what to do next, while i always thought it was because the duck was forced to eat chicken and it was basically cannibalism. I also thought this because earlier in the song, the duck says "theres lots of chicken left, and I'd like to eat the chicken" and their eyes widen drastically before the camera cuts to red guy
Those are really good points.

It’s better to release a good project late, than release an incomplete project early. Because the good project will only be late once, and an incomplete project will be bad forever. Great work on this video, yours is the only one I’ve watched about “don’t hug me I’m scared”. So in my eyes you have no competition !
Why Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is not getting any special awards for this mysterious, horrific creativity of a show yet?! Holy. Friggin'. Crap! So, the message is to let your imagination run free, don't let anybody say something else otherwise or abuse you because of it. Take a chance. Take a risk. Spread your wings. and never stop flying for your goals that requires your special abilities to be who you really want to be on the inside. I guess you do explain the series better than MatPat from his Theory channels, then. You've just got yourself a new subscriber and I loved this video so much. Congratulations!!

yes
I always loved the details between episodes, like in a later episode, you can see the clown painting, covered in oil, hung up on a wall.
i was trying so hard to look for "explained" videos of the original series to recap myself before watching the new series, but I kept getting theory videos for the new series.
This was one of my favorite videos and I'm glad I finally found it again!
Okay, so I am loving the Nick-cat. Who's with me?
it must be his persona.
Don't you mean PURR-sona? Hahahaha, I feel empty inside.
His fursona
Oh no, now something is going to happen. Something bad...
***** Cool idea! I hope he starts getting some fanart!
Night: I think i can go without blinking for a little while.
Me: A little while... You mean an HOUR.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaahahahahhahahahaahhahaahaha that is funny now
i didnt notice the vid was a hour
k
world record is about 44:59 (mm:ss), and by the end the guy said it felt like getting an eye tattoo so y'know...
So should we double it, since he has twice as many eyes as the average person?
Quite honestly, one of my favorite NM breakdowns.
Becky's response was absolutely brilliant.
Now I can see why this video took so long
I know, right?
It was worth it though!
Definitely
"I'm not a hypocrite, I'm important!"
oh big same
Guys, the show is back!
I'm finding your videos years later and after watching many different analysis, this showed me new details to notice. You mentioned quite a few things others didn't mention and love your interpretation of what it all means. Thanks for sharing! If I'm lucky, you'll review the 6 episodes released last year.
*analyses (plural)
Doctor: You have one more hour to live
Death: ok it's time to go
Me: hold on there's 44 more seconds
Death: Fine, just this once
Me: Wait, what?
Death: Uh, nothing
Me: hopefully i don’t get any ads
As I listened to this explanation, I grew a theory. What if the three main characters are used to represent the how the levels of maturity react to this kind of stuff. Yellow guy represents naivety (like a young child), he doesn't know much better, so for most of the series, he just sits and takes it since he can't do much else. He is at the will of his manipulators, until later in the series where he grows and tries to fight off what they're teaching him, and even then he can't do much *to* fight them.
Red guy represents maturity (like an adult, or in this case, maybe a teen), he knows that all of this is bullshit and he takes the most of it before he nopes the fuck out and comes back to try and save the impressionable minds. When trying to make his own creativity fails, he shuts down the show.
Duck represents somewhere in the middle (adolescence), he knows most things, but is still impressionable, so even though he still takes this "knowledge" like Yellow guy, he still knows that some of the stuff they say doesn't make sense.
This comment was probably really confusing and hard to follow, so tl;dr: Yellow symbolizes a child's mind, Red guy symbolizes a mature mind, and Duck symbolizes the in-between.
So the levels of people on the internet?
Ice Cream and Hadycakes you know you did a teenager twice, you said red guy is maybe a teen and you called duck adolecence
Both means teenager
Personally i think duck is a elderly. Hes senile and so far out of the loop that media can manipulate him again ( think how those knock off video companys prey on like the elderly who dont know better and get the kids the wrong game or movie buy junk that doesnt work because they confuse bootlegs for reality
Or those scam artists who have scammed the elderly for millions
Children and oldfolks are both pretty vunerable in alot of ways and dont know better either cause they havent leatned or there minds going or they are so far out if the loop
@@gameraspindlethorn6229 um I don't know what you're talking about-
Thought this was obvious. Fuck I should have made one of these theory vids hah
I think duck represents an elder, kind of like a child because they're so out of touch but a bit wiser.
at 47:45 when you suddenly break pacing and everything feels so urgent and overwhelming- at least to me, haha- that really stuck. I feel like I think about that scene a lot, and how afterwards, you stop. Take a breath. And keep going, defending your thoughts and resuming your own pace. It always kind of gave me an odd sort of reassurance. Magnificent writing, and phenomenal voice acting.
I'm a **little** late to this vid, but had a major "fight or flight" reaction to your singing microphone. Shows the number Don't Hug Me actually did to me ^^; (Subbed after binge-ing your Marble Hornets deep-dive series-)
The theory is dope! I always saw it as the story is told from Red Guys perspective, and that he was actually a child actor and the yellow and duck guy were actors too and they suffered through trauma (cuz thats what happens to child actors in hollywood). The red guy leaving the set is kinda a symbol of him trying to change and leaving his life as an actor for good and working a boring office job. His trauma resurfaces in dreams, and sometimes trauma victims develop weird, quirky personalities and express their issues through comedy. The crowd boos him and again, he visualized that Roy dude in the corner, and suddenly goes back to that weird room with the TV, and he's seeing all his experiences with the other two kids in front of him, and he tries to desperately hold on and change things in the TV (cuz thats what abused people do, they try to change what they remember about the torment) and the Roy dude reaches out as a symbol of "letting go" of the trauma hence pulling the plug.
That's an interesting theory! I like how different everyone's takes on this show can be.
OH MY GAWD PUPPET NICK IS ADORABLE. I WANT A PLUSHIE!
6 years later Edit: WE GOT A PLUSHIE!!!!
THANK
SAME!!! He's so cute! :D
SAME ALSO WHY ARE WE TALKING IN ALL CAPS
same
WHERE IS THE MERCH
Also, Each thing the notepad mentioned is essential to the message of the episode "Listen to the Heart, Listen to The Rain, Listen to the voices inside your brain". here we see the human heart covered in glitter as a metaphor for the shows disturbing secrets being hidden in by the claims of creativity, the clouds turning into rain could mean the corruption of the show's meaning as earlier the crew were interpreting images in clouds and finally the voices inside your brain Where the brain that uses a green patch in it which reveals that the reason why she labels green as not a creative color is to mess with Yellow guy
45:38 I like how the background has progressively been getting more and more destroyed as the microphone teacher consistently tries to overtake the video.
Imagine being a parent and letting your kid watch it a think it is fine, but then glance over to see what it was, that must be scary.
My mom did that 🙃
No she didn't tho It's called don't hug me I'm scared you wouldn't think it's a normal thing for kids
@@isqueakzmini this is my old account and she didn't see the tilte she only saw the beginning of the let's get creative song
@@aceweist3854 Yeesh. That must’ve been traumatizing for a child. I am very lucky my parents were very persistent about not letting me use the the internet until I was older. Looking back on it now, I would’ve exposed myself to some questionable content.
@@spacetruffle yeah I didn't sleep for a very long time and my parents didn't care what I did because they thought what's the worst he can do hes a kid so i exposed my young self to very questionable things ( such as the smile mlp video, Rick and Morty, salad fingers,Sally face ECT )
Wakey wakey...
Check the trending tab. This is getting a second season.
It's actually a TV show.
Flamez and Water Bottle can i see a source for this
@@vistacorp5285 Just Google it.
*insert fortnite default dance* DA DUN DUN DA DUN
Developed in part by Conan O'Brien's company and Super Deluxe! The latter is now dead though
I had heard of the series so much and from what I heard expected this all -out attack on my sensibilities with very deep horror/satire in a highly unnerving experience. Now having watched it, without the need to graft my own issues onto it, it just seems like fairly straightforward anarchic comedy well-executed.
And here I am. Watching it on June 19th 2022
I'm totally gonna sew myself a Nick Nocturne cat plushie. The idea is too adorable for words
jamie N sell them on eBay or something
"Because he's sick of being *PUSHED AROUND."*
I love the OOMPH he got there
Your creative struggles shown through the microphone are really touching and easy to connect to. And the rundown of the whole show step by step is beautiful and insightful. And I love the puppet very much! Thank you for the video.
