[[WMG: The series is a metaphor for autism and the struggles autistic kids face in the school system and in life.]]
The trio represent autistic kids and the many ways autism can manifest. Red Guy has trouble expressing his emotions, has no filter, and stims by tapping his feet, rubbing his hands, humming under his breath, rubbing his neck, waving his arms, and playing with his strands of hair. He speaks in a monotone, likes routine, and struggles with fitting in. Yellow Guy is socially awkward with extremely high emotional empathy, misunderstands many things, has special interests such as art and music, is sensitive to sound, and repeats things others say. Duck Guy has a fixation for rules, often exaggerates his tone, and has trouble focusing on details. Now for the actual story.
- Sketchbook/Paige is an art teacher who has no idea how to deal with special needs kids, and can be very demanding and forceful at times. She tries to push the trio into her (extremely restrictive) idea of creativity, such as only giving them five colors to choose from and destroying Yellow Guy's drawing, but they have trouble understanding her lesson. She eventually relents and lets them do whatever they want, but then they decide to do exactly that, revealing the morbid nature of their imaginations.
- Tony is a {{Jerkass}} history teacher whose anger often scares his students. He makes several mistakes in his lessons, and frequently overwhelms them and ignores their questions. He eventually resorts to CorporalPunishment when the kids disrupt his lesson, leaving them with quite a lot of trauma.
- Episode 3 is more metaphorical. Shrignold represents how predators often prey on kids with learning disabilities. He finds Yellow Guy when he's lonely, and isolates him from his friends, trying to teach him a shallow idea of "love". 'Michael' represents how Yellow Guy is bullied by his peers, and him waking up represents him reconciling with his friends and escaping the predator.
- Gilbert the Globe is a CoolTeacher who cares a lot for the students, but his class isn't on most days, the class on most days is Computer Science. Colin the Computer is also...kind of a jerk. He often asks too many questions, confusing the trio. The computer class has a lot of restricted websites, the only approved ones being a math site they do all their work on, a flash game site, and a music maker.
- Health is not in a class, it's the media, and see the other WMG entry about how Episode 5 is about the dangers of fad diets.
- Episode 6 represents the group becoming teens. They struggle to fit in, especially Red Guy, and Yellow Guy learns that his father is abusive. The reset, where they're all their favorite colors represents them finally escaping their bad childhoods.
