At the start of the video, the computer is mainly regarded as something to gain information from. The video also makes a statement about the changing usage of the internet. Then the computer appears from seemingly out of nowhere. not real you.Īt the start of the video, Harry looks at a laptop, camera panning towards it. It deals with the whole section about real vs. When Red Guy (Harry) resists the computer's flurry of personal questions, the computer freaks out. This is an issue brought up in the video, as before the computer helps them he asks them questions about them. Lots of different companies and websites today either ask for lots of personal information or track it without your consent. In other words, computers can count to 50 in the blink of an eye. Now instead of using globes or books to find information, most facts can be found using computers. Note: A number of objects mysteriously disappear in this episode like no other, but it's probably due to them being outside since all the objects gone are ones you find only indoors.ĭon't Hug Me I'm Scared 4 deals with technology, specifically its role in our current society. This possible reference to Christianity falls into line with many of the other aspects of the episode such as the push towards monogamy, the rejection of homosexuality, the yellow guy avoiding lunch (which represents sex), and even the white robes worn in the video (as white generally represents purity and white robes are worn by priests underneath their outer robes and altar boys/girls during mass.) The correlation with Christianity is strong, but despite this it could be just general religion or popular religion that the makers are trying to comment on. It may also reference that during the adult initiation into Christianity, Confirmation, one is asked to choose a new name for the ceremony. In order to join their religion, they told the yellow guy to wash his brain, which references that some religions brainwash people into believing what they believe, and change his name which references the fact that some rare religions make you "change" who you are to fit their idea of a good religious character. Following this idea is when the Bee's animal friends sing "He's made for her, she's made for him! That's the way it's always been", possibly referencing rejection of homosexuality or polyamory in societies today. The Tree, which then told the story of a boy named Michael, who lived underground because he was ugly, and people made fun of him. The vaguely cult-leader-ish butterfly/mothman whom the yellow guy met took him into a cloud-like land that could signify "heaven" and then imposed his own ill-formed ideas about love through song and parable. The video could also be a reference to major world religions, or alternatively to cults that brainwash members through "love-bombing". In the video, the lunch represents sex, demonstrated by the fact that the two do not join the land of love because they were too distracted by filling up the physical needs (eating chicken), and that at the end the worm that comes out of the food says "father" and is then killed, suggesting a reference towards abortions and that the butterfly in the beginning of the episode was a child that was killed with an abortion. ( making them older by the second)ĭon't Hug Me I'm Scared 2 - TIME What it means (Video Breakdown)ĭescribe theory(s) in 1-3 sentences each.ĭon't Hug Me I'm Scared 3 is said to be about the debate between marriage and polygamy. He then harshly reprimands them giving them another, far more gruesome "lesson" in the preciousness of life and time. So when after the fish scene the gang begins questioning the nature of time (and consequentially are mucking around again), Tony's plan has completely backfired, and he is forced to screech at them to drown out their ideas. Examples include the merry-go-round line and when the clock yells "Look at the time!" after Yellow Guys Dad Roy is on the computer. Throughout the video, he commands the cast to turn all their attention back to time. However, it is crucial to the clocks plan that the gang only focuses on the superficial concept of time, so that they kept busy and consuming. The gang is caught up in time and consuming (represented by the fish scene). The clock shows them life is short and that they should buy tons of gizmos to make the most out of their limited existence. So the clock shows him how things die over time (like the trees and the apple). At first, Red Guy is resistant because he wants to watch his show. To brainwash them into doing so, he launches into a song through time. The Clock disapproves of this because he wants them to buy things and contribute to consumer culture. In the beginning of the video, the main characters are all just sitting around, wasting time (or mucking around) waiting for their show. The second video discusses merchandising.
