Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 6

I watched this after a recommendation from YouTuber Ryan Hollinger.

The basic premise consists of three puppet characters sitting in their flat, or outside, doing not much, within a single day, as different non sentient appliances come alive and sing a song about different things to improve their lives, such as creativity, intelligence, love and death. Only their lessons become self contradictory and ultimately turn to dark, nefarious motivations.

Duck is constantly suffering from abuse and violence. Yellow guy is suffering from loneliness and mental illness. And the last, Red guy with a spaghetti mop-like head, is rendered cynical and unfulfilled due to the mundane, life sucking job and lack of social interaction.

Despite this show intending to be a satirical parody of constantly happy British children's TV shows, I've honesty grown to love these characters, and I really didn't want any thing truly bad to happen to them.

The themes of existentialism, cultish coercion and the inevitability of the loss of innocence are things I really love to see, especially when done right.

That's not to say the series didn't freak me out quite a bit at times. That mounting dread that you feel, not knowing what is going on, but knowing that it's wrong, is a terrifying experience.
