Don't Hug Me I'm Scared(2022)

There's three of us!

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is a comedy-horror puppet series that follows Red Guy, Yellow Guy, and Duck as they navigate surreal lessons from a cast of unsettling talking objects. Based on the cult YouTube web series, the show blends childlike educational formats with deeply unsettling humor and disturbing imagery. Each episode presents seemingly innocent topics—love, creativity, computers—only to veer into darkly absurd and nightmarish territory. The puppets' deadpan interactions with their "helpful" guides create an uncanny atmosphere that subverts typical children's programming. Fans of experimental comedy and psychological horror will find the show's twisted approach to everyday subjects both hilarious and deeply uncomfortable. The series maintains the original web shorts' distinctive aesthetic while expanding the universe with new episodes and deeper storytelling.
