Don't Hug Me I'm Scared started out as a single little video - three puppets that looked like something from Sesame Street who learned about creativity from psychopathic notepad. The video acts all nice and innocent at first, but then the moral becomes twisted when the notepad tells them things like "green is not a creative color". In the end, the entire video goes insane, creepy and weird. The rest of the series is like this. And I love everything about it.
> I love the puppet designs. While yellow guy was kind of weird in the first video, I still think these guys made a great job on them
> All videos have their "lessons" done in a song and they are all catchy. My favorites have to be 'Time' and 'Love'.
> Despite the series' infamy for starting innocent and ending with pure Nightmare Fuel, it doesn't scare watcher in the same way every video - first one ends with random insanity and craziness, that's unsettling and has some gore, but it's mostly just random crap popping up on screen. The second ends with "students" rotting alive. Third ends with yellow guy joining a cult. Fourth one hints at creepiness in middle of the video but doesn't go as far compared to those before it. Fifth one has visible organs and some unsettling Nothing Is Scarier horror. And sixth one is creepy from the start to finish. Also, the videos are more set on shocking the watcher rather than startling him - I don't remember any jumpscares from the series, at least not any obvious ones...
Generally, DHMIS is fun little series. It's weird, it's funny, it's demented, it's confusing, it's creepy, it's charming... and I just love watching them. It's definetly not for everyone, through, but as long as you want some smaller scares and you don't mind some weird humor, songs that won't ever, EVER leave you no matter how much you try to forget them and just some general weirdness, then you might enjoy this.
Weird and demented, but in a good way

> The humor is pretty funny. Red guy's utter uninterest in anything, yellow guy's naiveté and teacher's Comedic Sociopathy and obsession with whatever the hell they are teaching always make me giggle. The songs themselves have their moments of So Bad, It's Good and the jokes come from places I seriously didn't expect them to. Yeah, some jokes are simple, weird and childish, and yet they work.
