- I hope you’re having a good day. Once upon a time I was having a good day. Then this show came along and stole my innocence and purity. Time to continue exploring the secrets of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared tv series. We shall analyse the episode exploring death and its surreal implications.
I surely hope nothing unpleasant happens to Stain Edwards the Forever Boy... Or Duck...

Welp, I was incredibly nervous about this one, and not just because Shepard's Pie made my teeth turn grey.
I've never had this type of response to my videos before, and I never really thought I would. So this is crazy. Thank you guys for being so cool, I know the production quality of this stuff is not on the same level as many other channels who do this type of thing, but maybe one day we'll get there.
In the meantime, I can't thank you enough. After 200 videos and five years, this channel just hit 3k subscribers. Most of that was over the past 2 weeks.
Anyways, I'll shut up:) hopefully I'll see you for the family analysis vid. Have a great weekend! If you haven't already, check out the other DHMIS videos.
Production value means nothing without good content. Im loving these videos & hearing your breakdowns! (Also I dont know much about anything, but everything still looks great to me!)
Hey letting you know red has always had teeth their in the og episode 2 when the clock says “let’s go on a journey a journey through time what time is it it’s time to go to time”
7:26 - interesting idea - but my first thought is. "If you turn into your favorite object.... then how lame was the teacher in his life that turned into a folder?" ♪I am a document and you put files in me.♫ bet that guy wishes he had a more interested favorite thing now huh.
GUMS go Grey, my friend. Not the teeth. The teeth were never there
Bro eat something healthy because of ur grey teeth
It's implied that duck has rabies - forgetting to drink water/dying from not drinking water, foaming at the mouth, and the references to him biting people are all related to rabies symptoms.
I wonder why yellow guy didnt get rabies? 🤔
It even confirms it in the Family episode:
during Duck’s family song, when he’s singing in the mirror, he’s holding a paper or something that says “You have rabies!”
He is so relatable
That makes a weird amount of sense
Wonder if he got rabies from the Carehound, since it seems like the Carehound ate him and spat him out, likely biting him during it.
The thing is "The Stages of Grief" is a misnomer. It is originally made by Kübler-Ross to be a model of not what people who are grieving experience but actually as a model of what people who are *dying* experience.
People told me I'd learn something new everyday, they were wrong. I end up learning a lot more than that lol
I had no idea, that's incredibly interesting
@@danielprofeta :)))) looking forward to your vid on the next episode
That makes SO much more sense
@@mysteriousfigure1281 ye
@@Anti-HyperLink i first heard it from an episode of a podcast called ologies. the episode is called thanatology. its a nice listen :)
"Worm fired for harassment" Damn that's some crazy detail
Okay, stop.
@@danielprofeta yes
That must suck
I hope that wasnt warren
Like
Warren is a eagle
Warren: EAGLE!!!11!1!!1!11
"Ew! Did that fall out of your anus?" I'll be filing that in my brain. I'm sure there will be an occasion when that line will be the perfect response. 😂
Great detailed analysis
My grandmother died within the last year and she was chronically dehydrated because she'd "forget to grab water". It felt like the episode was targeted at us almost.
Some additional things to add:
When someone you're close to dies, it can be hard to realize they're actually gone. They're dead, but you always expect them to call randomly or come around a corner. That was how the beginning of the episode felt to me, maybe as a coincidence.
At the funeral, i was asked to read some poems my grandmother liked and even though my immediate family was the closest to her at the end of her life, i still felt like i should not have been the one to be up in front of everyone saying things about her. Like i "knew which one (she) was".
For sure, there's the part where these people who didn't even know duck that well were there crying and giving platitudes, but also the fact that these strangers *invaded their space*, which is something you might feel when distraut. They'll give platitudes and offer pointless help (a napkin, a sandwich, a sandwich on a napkin).
Also the fact that yellow guy brought up all these memories of duck that weren't that flattering to him, like how when someone's gone sometimes you miss even the bad things about them.
All in all, every single moment of that episode was so incredibly well thought out and so packed full of meaning in multiple ways. I felt the same way with the job episode where i had to seriously take a look at my own job where we repeat the same jokes, talking to managers are like greeting npcs, where the idea of you can be what you want isn't real...
I’m sorry to hear that, I hope she’s in heaven.
@@Dragonage2ftw
Thanks, but i don't believe in heaven. I just know she isn't struggling or suffering anymore. My immediate family were with her for her last week (i took some time off work and even worked remote there) and it was really hard to see how much she struggled at the end. How everything was too much effort and at times terrifying like when she'd wake up in the night and not recognize anyone.
I find my solice in the fact that she left a legacy and memories. We have her diaries, her prized posessions, and most importantly the stories we tell.
I relate to the memory song since we even look back at her working herself up into needing to go to urgent care every holiday with a surprising fondness. How we'd sit down to the meal with our phones half expecting a call to have to go to the hospital to meet her.
My sincere condolences. It's comments like these that want me to delve full force into this fascinating series, trying to discern on my own the backstory, hidden nuances, obvious plot twists and turns. And even at that, I might only be scratching the surface. And most importantly, Daniel is proving to be the perfect guide. I'm staying for the ride, looking forward to more. It appears I'm not alone.
Personally, I think this episode perfectly discusses and satirizes character death in TV shows (Sitcoms specifically) that happened because an actor left the show or was fired.
When the duck dies it's sudden and unexpected, It doesn't feel like something that was planned to happen but needed to happen.
At the funeral they play his memorial montage full of things that us as the audience had never seen duck do or known existed to try and flesh out the character and make the viewer experience more emotion when watching.
The mourners feel like characters put into the show to try and make it seem like they had a life out of the show and to add more characters to sympathize with.
Stain Edwards the Forever Boy feels like the character they put into the show after the death to fill the void. Stain originally was his own character with his own motivations and personality but over time just became a copy of the dead character.
Duck coming back feels like the actor had to return to the show for some reason or another and they revealed that the character indeed was not dead.
Duck/Stain (whoever it was) getting killed feels like the writers realizing that these two characters fill the same spot in the cast and removing one of them to balance it back out.
At least that is how I read this episode. I also feel like that concept as a whole references episode 5 of the original series where duck tries to leave and gets killed off. Thats just my opinion though, sorry for the long comment LOL. Love the series keep it up!
I always liked how in the beginning of every episode they are sitting around doing literally fucking nothing haha
Yep. Every time. As Red says, they wait till something happens... Like a talking briefcase showing up at their breakfast.
@@danielprofeta and they weren’t even eating anything 💀
Another couple of things that kind of discredits the "real duck dies" theory is that
1) Real duck is more in line to kill Stain than the other way round
2) Yellow guy was standing in a different position than where he was before they cut to the song, so positioning wouldn't really matter
I personally disagree with the idea that Stain Edwards the Forever Boy would be incapable of killing the duck (which is not what you said specifically, but it's an idea I've seen a couple times online). Most of the original malicious teachers like the clock from time or the journal from creativity seemed kind at the beginning, then they started to reveal their true nature.
Why were maggots in his blood?
@@kaxi3d same reason why Stain has feathers. He changed his form to be more like Duck's
@@kaxi3d why would orginal duck have blood from his neck since we know at least his fingers didn't have blood and we only saw his leg decompose
@@wigglewiggle4201 He also said he got all his organs removed and then was able to “pass” the milkshake through his body.
This episode actually made me a little emotional, which sounds kinda silly...but it reminded me of people I lost and how those of us left tried to deal with it.
Yep, exactly.
Yeah, you can definitely see the different versions of grief in this episode and when you’ve dealt with it personally, seeing how yellow guy really feels when duck “died” is heart breaking.
I hope you see them again one day.
Good video I haven’t watched it yet
This is the way.
@@danielprofeta alright I watched it. The video was even better.
@@FilthyTea :) glad you liked it.
@@danielprofeta how
You should watch it, it's a good video
Memories help me remember him. The things he did. The life he lived
1:11 speaking of foreshadowing the headline at the top of the page says “Power surge leads to blackout” which could be a reference to episode 6
yellow guys voice acting was amazing in this episode, you truly felt his despair and confusion about losing his friend
Came for the dont hug me I’m scared, stayed for the fact you’re genuinely pretty funny
i'm gonna disappoint my parents and be a comedian.

Duck going “Ha!” after saying he died from forgetting to drink water is so funny to me
Also, I always kind of viewed the lamp’s speech about the “council” being about death of the people at the hands of elitism or statism.
Ps. Thank you for including the sample of “Radicals” lmao
honestly I just thnk Duck killed Stain cause its seems fitting for his character, especially since even as the New Duck Stain was anxious and unsure about everything, not exactly the kind of person who'd murder someone.
Plus if og duck died, would he smoke out like when his finger was cut off
It's funny how duck "died" from a lack of water, and red guy is basically told he will die from too much water.
There's also a hint Stain was killed by Duck. You see Stain in the Bigger Boys room as the experiment. Even Duck mentions Stain ''turned into him'' and Red Guy talks about ''the experiment'' after. My theory is that Stain wasn't killed, but was reverted back into his clay form and ''tried to travel the house because it's full of adventure'' but was forever trapped by the Bigger Boys.
No one is talking about how in the intro song when the three main guys are being introduced, the lyric goes: “There’s Him [as the yellow guy is introduced] / and You [the red guy] / and Me! [duck]”
The use of these specific pronouns and demonstratives in respect to the specific characters seems important.
The writers seem to be leaning into the theory about Duck Guy being elderly that's been around at least since episode 2 of the original series. His personal seat is a rocking chair, he served in the military most likey in the mid-20th century judging by his uniform and he makes "Man yells at cloud" energy level statements about his surroundings. He's also hilariously abusive to Yellow Guy, which might get overlooked due to his age.
I think Stain killed the real duck, but he’s back to normal again in the next episodes
That would make the most sense to me based on what I've learned this far.
lesley always has replacements anyway
A South Park moment. :D
You forgot the back duck didn’t actually have any blood remember the fingers removal scene
@@jmurray1110 that is true, also the maggots could’ve been from the shovel, but I feel like every theory is correct considering DHMIS wants to give creative freedom instead of just 1 truth
From what I can tell, the maggots in the blood are from duck standing in that place earlier, not coming out of him when he dies
I never thought of that, very interesting...
Please continue the series this videos are amazing, they blow my mind
Thanks for watching my friend, let me know your theories as well if you want!
Adding on in 12:57, I read a comment on Reddit that Duck probably killed Stain Edwards because Stain is too pure to kill a person or something around like that
I would have thought the nice clock guy was too nice to kill a person and look where giving the benefit of the doubt got me.
The three boys resemble the three states of mind in every episode, red is ID, Duck is SUPER EGO and yellow is EGO. Do a little research because it all matches perfectly with their personalities!
Man I was already loving the video and then you hit me with that mountain goats song at the end
Just learned it on guitar and it's been in my head all day
I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us
For anyone curious, the lines he said at the end were lyrics to the song No Children by The Mountain Goats
I love this series you’re making so much. Learning all these small details I glossed over, even though I watched the show twice so far to make sure, is so insanely cool.
DHMIS is one of the craziest most fascinating series and I love your coverage of it.
Your videos always bring up such interesting takes I haven't thought about before! The council being US THE VIEWERS? Mind blown. Also I actually haven't heard much of the DHMIS simulation theory online. Would love to hear more about it. Congratulations on receiving over 500 likes in less than a day! You deserve so much more. CANNOT wait for the next one, and to hear about red guy and ducks conversation in episode 6. :)
Thank you for watching!!
The simulation ideas seem to all fall under a specific umbrella of thought, theorizing the cast is in a simulated reality of some kind. Or a purgatory.
Bro, the Grolton and Hovris show being a reference to Wallace and Grommet is like, super meta. Because I even used to confuse Wallace and Grommet's names with eachother as a kid, so the confusion on _Grolton_ and _Hovris'_ names just feels genius to me now.
great video :] can't wait for your analysis of ep3!
love your analysis, I can't wait to see more! I always feel I miss stuff even after a rewatch
I had to watch it like 69 times just to notice this stuff. And now rewatching my own video I notice something I didn't see before...
When I mentioned Yellow's shirt having a "D", check the background. There's a mini stature of Malcolm from the og Love episode!
Maybe the reason that they think duck is David, is because all of the other teachers with names are alliterations, so they just assumed David was the duck ‘David the duck’
Loving these analysis videos, keep up the good work!
Wow, daniel's analysis of this show - especially things like the lamp's monologue about what happens when we die - is eerily close to mine, and I think a lot closer to target than most competing theories. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has been thinking about a connection to the reincarnated objects, the "pound" that Duck got at the end of "Jobs", and so on! I think I'm detecting a weird undercurrent of "Eastern Mysticism" in the vein of Theosophy running through the TV episodes at least, including hints of the characters reincarnating on different planes of reality (in allegory as the different floors of the house) to perfect their lives, a reference to a Shambhala-like city of "ascended masters" at the center of the earth, gurus and yogis offering spiritual enlightenment (with mixed results), and so on. In the finale, Yellow Guy effectively makes an astral journey to speak with an alien intelligence in a dream-quest, and brings back advanced wisdom from a sort of Akashic record, though its meaning is forgotten shortly upon waking up from his trance, and it's shredded as the characters return to the routine of their stunted spiritual development... I really ought to try re-watching the web series with that in mind, to see whether it holds up even in the earlier episodes....
Can't wait for the future videos! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on yellow guys strange family situation
Thanks for watching!!! Apologies that there's so much time in between videos, it takes forever to script and edit sadly. I'm currently trying to go for one a week.
Yeah the Family episode was super weird. The end reminded me of the original Texas Chainsaw movie (love all the references this season:)
@@danielprofeta take your time! Making videos is stressful
One thing I think could aid the theory that Stain Edwards was the one who died is that even after getting his finger cut off and being gutted, Duck still managed to be alive-dead . either way I think they made it vague on purpose to fuck with people
You got a sub. Can't wait for the next episodes analysis
I just discovered your channel today and I've been binging all of your videos. I came back to this one 'cos I hadn't seen anyone mention it:
Duck dying because he didn't drink water goes hand-in-hand with him having rabies (per the family episode) since end-stage rabies causes hydrophobia.
Edit: fixed some typos
Loved the analysis of this episode! And also kudos to you for the Mountain Goats quote at the end :D
To add to the things you already mentioned, the duck that died i want to say had a longer neck, which would've been the original Duck. Honestly it could go either way and it drives me insane not knowing.
we know it's not stain because he's in the upper rooms of the house
Just here to say that I love your series and the bass you have in the background
I'm so hooked on these videos! Continue on:) Hope you are doing well!
I’m loving this series you’ve made so far! At around 1:42 you can see the head of that weird god thingy in the original series behind Yellow guy’s head on the left. You can actually see it throughout the episode! So happy that the creators are calling back to the original series and including cool Easter eggs. I wonder what this means?
Loving this series!!! Keep it up!
Thanks dude!
You've done a really good job, and I love the style of your video & what you include. Sometimes things are just monotonous with commentary and never really hit right, but you got into the stuff I think is worth analysing!! Hope to see more from you soon :)
Great video no idea how u don’t have any more subscribers
Lots of shit posting. Tons of it actually.
But the channel has doubled in size over less than 2 weeks, so I'm happy haha:)
@@danielprofeta As usual, you self-deprecate. Your original music has been the main focus of this channel, and there is a lot to be proud of. Far from shit-posting. (Unless I'm misunderstanding)
A Collab between DHMIS and Jack Stauber would be the best and most horrifying thing on earth
keep up the great work! very enjoyable content
I subbed, can't wait for future videos
Great job Daniel! You are a man of many talents! :)
red's got to make his appointment; a checkup for his gum disease!
I think old duck killed new duck. Duck is pretty cruel in this series, meanwhile the replacament they tried for Duck, doesn't do any harm to others, so, most likely, Old Duck killed the "New" one. Her personality didn't seem change when it turned to duck, she even said to red guy that he might have some issues to work with, and felt uncofortable.
She reappears in the last episode of the series, being electrocuted by duck in the second floor, and in the scene yellow was walking towards the stairs, red guy and duck were talking with small volume about what they were doing in the second floor. I think the one who survived is definetly old duck.
7:13 :O ghost reference!! it's the papa's :D (ghost fanboy moment aside, i really love this video and you're doing a great job with this series :) )
I'm so glad there's a bit of overlap in my random references and this audience, I love music and movies and try to fit them into everything.
Since dawn of time the fate of man is that of lice... Equal as parasites ascending without eyes...
@@danielprofeta i too am lice, dude i would get far too giddy whenever i saw references i knew in your videos jajaja :) it's like jingling keys in my face lmao
Please continue I need this
I think I know why the clock was there, since at the end of the time episode, the clock says eventually everyone runs out of time, and almost the whole episode is centred around death.
“The songs aren’t as good”
Are people just skipping over the electricity song???? It had a sick electric guitar solo and everything 🤨
Fr Death has 3 BANGER SONGS AND YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND.
Glad I found your channel! You're pretty entertaining. Keep up the good work! ♥
Most people don't know my full name.
My full name is Dan Entertainment Profeta.
This is the best DHMIS theory/speculation video I've seen. Every single one of your points made me go "Oh my god! It fits perfectly, it genuinely makes sense!
You are so fun Daniel 😂 Very well done!!
Amazing analysis!! Love how you dig into the episode and make all these observations. Also, is the rune on Duck's military aircraft the same as the object next to Red's ID card??
I'm gonna rewatch it and try to figure it out. I know the runes correlate to the book in episode 6.
Yes I think they are the same rune... Most interesting.
My absolutely favorite line from any video I ever seen on TH-cam, "Someone's jealouuuus~ Jealous of me being deaaad~"
My personal interpretation of this episode is that it is a commentary on how the entertainment industry and us, the viewers, responds to the death of a famous actor :
Duck's grave reading "David" despite it not being his name could be seen as a metaphor of how people remember the actors that have passed for who they played rather than who they were, a recent example being Robbie Coltrane's death, mainly attributed to "the death of Hagrid" on social medias, so in Duck's case David could be the name of his main role. Stains Edward the Forever Boy replacing Duck represents the producers finding a new actor to replace the previous one if he had been part of an ongoing series, with the new actor not meeting up with the expectations of the public eye and falling flat at being himself, being forced to become a soulless duplicate of the original, meanwhile, Yellow digging out Duck can be seen as the industry using archived footage to "revive" a dead actor for commercials or releasing works post-mortem, desecrating their grave long after their death
I love this interpretation.
The reason it says David on the coffin is because Leslie in episode 6 had a son named David who died! 🤯
I love your pfp.
@@danielprofeta omg thank you so much!
you can see a tiny Malcolm statue on the shelf behind Yellow's seat.
The mountain goats outro really gave me flashbacks of moral orel
Please make moooooore, I'm so hyped for your analysis
Yay:) I'm literally vibrating with excited energy reading these comments, y'all are so goshdang nice. Thanks for watching!
I love the no children by the mountain goats cameo at the end
Nice mountain goats / moral oral ref at the end
I think the blackout headlining the newspaper is a reference/foreshadowing ep 6. Also, I think the suitcase survived his episode too
WHY IS “NO CHILDREN - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS” playing. This vid just woke me up, I was asleep one second the next thing I know is the song is being taunting to me. Rewatched the video, love it! Please make more!!!
8:35 A fellow man of culture.
the thing i find so funny about duck describing himself as a talking crow-like thing is that the first time i ever saw him years ago, i thought he was a crow! it feels as if they were talking directly to me lmao
the sudden ghost image made me surprise-giggle
BRO AND THE was that claymation comment a gravity falls reference !? bro.
He died because he didn't drink enough water.
Sounds neat! I love the channel so far, have a subscribez
Welcome aboard!
In the background of the duck guy in the coffin scene you can see the Apple guy from episode 3 fall off
i wasnt expected a Ghost reference in a DHMIS video but gosh im happy i did lol
One extra detail i found is the urn from ep 6, when the duck is buried and not burned further reinstating the thing with leslie replacing their figures whenever theyre faulty
Red's really Chatterer in a wig and bodysuit.
Keep up with these I really enjoy them
I think the D stands for d-cell, the batteries yellow boy uses
Clicking on this video was the greatest decision I've ever made. You're awesome and I'm a subscriber now
The single greatest decision? Greater even than your efforts to end the Vietnam war?
@@danielprofeta Those efforts weren't very fruitful
I only made the realization here (possibly incorrectly) that the newspaper Opinoin, is a nod to the many typos made by the actual newspaper The Guardian, (The Grauniad, which was constantly mentioned in the actual publication Private Eye.
Also, did anyone else think the song yellow guy was singing on his way to dig up duck, sounded like an unreleased track by Joy Division?
Ah, theories. They provide much entertainment for us all.
Even the title name is a parody of the saying
“Hold me in scared”
Holy shit that Hellraiser homage went completely over my head!! That scene in the original where the dude is coming through the floor will never leave my brain until the day I die
"Every Drop Of Blood You Spill Puts More Flesh On My Bones."
A new vista of lunacy lies before me. I will enter it BOLDLY! If I do not return, speak well of me! And speaking of death, I want to be buried in a burlap sack in a forest so my remains become part of that forest. In preparation for this, I recently buried myself in a burlap sack in order to begin the decomposition process. One cannot begin these things too early.
This guy gets it.

“A common complaint I’ve seen online about the new series is that the songs aren’t as good.”
I think they’re all either fun, catchy, or interesting, but sometimes they don’t even rhyme, and that seems like a big oversight…unless that was the creator’s intentions. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the songs weren’t meant to rhyme as a way to make people like me mildly upset.
I think it was intentional (they also did that sort of thing in the original series as well)
I saw the Ghost reference and out loud said 'oh my god i love this person now'
really great video, hoping you make more. but also how DARE you make fun of red's teeth. smh
I guess you're one of those that want red to start an only fans for discreet teeth pics.
I started singing no children with you at the end 😭
you should know this, duck forgot to drink water, duh
I low key love Stain Edwards song 😂 and that mountain goats quote *chef kiss*
Something i think is important is the amount of stress they placed on how many there were. Every time it changed they sang the intro again to match how many were living in the house. 3 then 2 then 3 then 4 then back to 3
The in universe subliminal easter eggs of each episode references to other episodes' stories are very black mirror/inside no9-esque lol
In that scene where you mention the d on yellow’s overalls you can spot Malcolm, the god of love from the original series in the background
While you made some extra observations that give a little credit to Duck being the one to die, like the maggots in the blood, I personally believe it’s clear Stain is the one that dies. Stain as Duck has a slightly rounder, fluffier looking head and melds transition from head to neck/torso is less defined. If you compare the shot of Stain Duck with the shot the Duck right before decapitation, it matches him better than Original Duck
memories is a fricking bop
