have a nice day
I don’t think we have to settle disputes by telling one to commit suicide
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
>I'LL KILL YOU ANON!!!
Please whisper your complaint into the mouth of the Carehound.
I love how they didn't do the obvious thing and have the care hound mission eat David. Instead he just eats his bad attitude and makes him feel better
*Messily eat David
I have no idea. I didn't expect to laugh so much watching it. I don't think the original shorts were like this.
At first I didn't like how they made the red guy more petty and prone to whining, but it ended up growing on me a few episodes in.
Did it grow on you when you realized it was to set up the violent brawl at the end of Friendship?
Deadpan humor is really funny when done right
The ending to Friendship is actually the funniest tone shift i've seen. Plus hearing Red Guy scream so much louder and his accent get a bit less prominent was beyond comedy.
They turned it into smiling friends 2
smiling friends invented funny television shows, thank you zach hadel and michael cusack
more like Michael KEKsack hahaha
>not Micheal Nutsack
Come on, man.
Smiling Friends is not as clever or funny or well made. It’s a fine show but you’re comparing apples and oranges. Nothing about the shows is similar, and Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared predates all of the humor in Smiling Friends. Shit comparison.
I kind of agree that the new style is more akin to shows like Smiling Friends, but I don't see how this is a bad thing. DHMIS was always going to be hard to adapt into a TV series with full half-hour episodes (I'm surprised they didn't decide to go with ~10 minute episodes to air in pairs instead), so the non-sequitur style like Smiling Friends has makes sense as a format. It's not like Smiling Friends created it.
I have yet to see that show but none of the clips I've seen are particularly funny.
>Dude it's just Smiling Friends
>Dude it's just ATHF
I'm the best one
You deserve to be dead
Attention freaks, it's me
>Get away from me Duncan!
>blocks your path
>manages to conquer death just by being so unbearably annoying

He got killed by his clone, the blood had maggots.
I thought this for a while but they made a big point about the original not having blood
SHEDDER!!!!
OK STOP
friends aren't boastful
ok David now go back to your coffin
David is right
He's the Master Shake of the show
>I'm never gonna see that skeleton.
> I hate you!
>I'M DEALING WITH IT!
Funniest bit
>I'm the one that is quite tall
>and I'm the one that's going bald
What the FRICK is his problem?
some old lady took over his show
My only regret is we didn't get to see him fricking up that family cause holy shit they deserved it.
He killed them? I thought he just ate with them
you see pieces of them splatter on the wall so i think he fought them over the bucket of chicken and won.
i love how the family's motivation was literally just to get a family discount for fried chicken, and not incest, abuse, indoctrination, or any sort of fricked-up family-related stuff like they were set up as
Be honest how happy were you to see him save his son
I think that was incidental to him breaking in to murder a random family/cult over chicken
I think he just ate them along with the chicken.
>save
It was probably a case of Roy not allowing someone other than the approved teachers to torture Yellow Guy.
I need a webm of the boys bangin' as they go online
Got a little gay at the end
nothing wrong with showing your bros you care for them
What about him?
he gave his bros something nice to shred
What about that guy?
A bit more than a little
>average DHMIS scholars
Their designs were cool, but for some reason the Big Boy designs made me feel weirdly uncomfortable, and I couldn’t even tell you why. I just did not like looking at them.
Maybe it's the spaghetti arms?
It was the level of detail on them.
They are weirdly detailed.
It was the eyes for me. The Big Boys were the only things to really spook me while watching.
>another dhmis thread
theirs new content for it, why not?
We've been waiting 6 years for more content, anon. The most we had in that timeframe are bad quality scraps of a cancelled pilot
It's been 6 fricking years, and we literally just got 6 half-hour episodes the other day. Frick off.
>How did they pull it off?
The only thing Britian is good at is dark, deadpan humour, probably formed as a coping mechanism due to living in a rainy shithole.
Post Visual Gaga
This one is from Friendship.
The ultimate what?
The Ultimate Forgiveness. It's Unemployed Brendon's unpublished novel.
>Be an aspiring writer.
>Work at Walmart as a cart pusher and go through my college courses.
>Afraid I may become like him.
This character was too real.
I just quit my job at Walmart and am an aspiring writer. I literally am him.
The songs are way worse and less catchy but do you think that is on purpose and deliberate?
no I just think they had to write a lot of them
No, DHMIS 5 is what happens when they make a song bad on purpose, it still ended up being pretty catchy. I think they got burned out on composing songs.
But what about my Shredder?
Green Duck's VA on the extreme hit or miss when it came to singing. It either ends up flat or like in the shredder bit/wakey wakey
I don't think they really tried with the songs in this iteration since it was more story driven. Can't tell you a single catchy song from this besides the intro.
>we’re gonna get things ready for the big day big day
>we’re gonna get things ready for the special day!
I'm expecting songs to get worse and worse until they lose all meaning as a joke or something.
I WANT BOTH
I fricking love how he shrieked this like an animal
All of the endings were great. Coin getting flipped into David's eye was really funny
He's not called david.
He is now, its already engraved, I cant unchisel it.
why not?
I just watched the cam of the old pilot for the first time, and boy am I glad they stuck to their guns and made a show on their own without the influence of Conan's production company. The show we actually got was so much better.
Watching it also helped me realize that heavily bringing down Duck's autotune was for the best in a longer format where he's saying more than just a few words at a time.
David carries the show
So how do non-brits watch it again?
Through stealing.
Appreciated. Odd they wouldn't just upload it to youtube themselves to get the ad revenue, knowing it'd just end up there anyway.
it was produced by that streaming service no one's ever heard of, I'm sure it'll go up on Hulu or whatever eventually
You look in one of the archived thread and ctrl f mega.
a mega was posted last thread
and people are uploading it to youtube
It's all on youtube
I used some shitty free chrome extension vpn and it worked without issue
Duck has the funniest lines but I love Yellow Guy the most. Hope he can escape the nightmare someday.
>He's one of those guys who has one of himself.
You mean that guy?
That's his cannon name
So what do I throw money at to get a second season made? not a bong so I can't subscribe to whatever streaming service its on
we wait for merch to be made
I was very impressed with it. It's much less bloated than I thought it would be.
The shy brother was cute.
What were him and Yumpferdinker supposed to mean?
The shy brother was a reused puppet from the pilot, yumpferdinker is supposed to be a joke since you have all these characters supposedly based on memories meanwhile you have this weird thing with all the other not as weird characters
yumpferdinker kinda fricks me up I swear i"ve seen it before somewhere
The fricking website thingy named Duncan is my new favorite character.
He's so unfathomably moronic that i can't stop replaying his autistic scenes.
I want to frick the electricity meter
Her name is Electracey according to the wiki.
I want you to frick the electricity meter too.
Because you'll get electrocuted and die.
see
they're just batteries what's with the censor
Anon wtf this is a blue board
This janny, with all his "rules". You know what I say to him? I say to him, "Hey, Mr. Janny! Why don't you take all your silly rules, and put them over there behind the other thing! And I can’t even see them anymore!
I just found out that DHMIS got released. Anything else like this been drawn?
If not this and the can of spinach might just be the only co-drawings of puppets they want to frick. Which I find hard to believe.
The Sketch pad and Clock get a lot is shipping art
Yeah but usually heavily humanized.
I've yet to see anything that's just a drawing of a character from the show they want to frick relatively close to their original design.
baaaaaaaaaaased
I don't care about the electricity girl. But for some reason, I kind of want to frick the tooth and the bathtub.
when she was dumbed down i felt funny..
Currently watching the Death episode and it's actually tackling death and grieving as a serious issue. This is amazing.
>5'4

>chilean

what
this was my favorite part of don't hug me I'm scared
i'm confused
DHMIS is so weird that I'm wondering if you're actually on topic right now and we just don't realize it
no he just couldn't make his own thread about some Hispanic arthur fanartist again without it getting deleted so he posted in a random one
???
I love the duck's really awful song he made on the computer they play at the end of episode 2. It's so fricking stupid.
He eats breakfast!
He's one of those ones with one of himself!
That's racist, mate.
best joke of the season
What do they mean they share a lawyer? Why the hell do they need a lawyer for?
Think the body count in their general vincinity is high enough where retaining a lawyer is probably wise
duck forges documents as mentioned in episode 4
I feel like the whole thing of them being trapped in the house should have been abandoned.
Allowing them to leave to explore a town or city even opens up more potential interesting plots in terms of story telling.
they tried that and they said they didn't like how it felt and that it strayed too far from what the series was
But didn't they technically leave the house when they went with those weird twins?
they still stayed within a claustrophobic, cramped set, clayhill had them all in a full on neighborhood like a sitcom
I guess they count it as a teacher
Also no love for stain and unemployed Brendan?
They leave the house in every episode, but only when some weird creature comes in takes them somewhere. The Red Guy wanted to go somewhere without guys showing up and fricking with their lives.
It was just a sub-dimensional pocket connected directly to the house, like the job.
The only time they leave in the show is in transport
>Freelancers deserve to die!
Absolutely based
Are they just cool with computer man now?
It's not the same computer. They pluck a new one from a plant.
I felt bad for him.
Why? he got to live on as the duck, unless the old lady reset time therefore erasing him
Stain just wanted explore the world and maybe explore his interests in finance, but Red completely shit on everything the poor guy wanted to try.
Basically what the teachers usually do to the trio, Red did to Stain. Pretty fricked up.
of all the new strangers characters that appeared in the show, the pink clay one is the most normal one.
He is pink like a human, normally he is normal!
I want to frick that thing and make her my wife
How do you know it's a "her"? It's a british show, could just be a high-pitched guy.
what the frick happened with the wakey wakey episode pilot? is it going to be like a special episode in the next season or even a movie?
Just shriveled up, I reckon.
Supposedly the creators didn’t like the direction it was taking the series and decided to scrap it and rework the concept into what we see now. From what I’ve heard about the pilot and how much I enjoyed the series, I think they made the right choice. I would still like to see the pilot as an extra of some sort at some point though
Show Duck gives me season 1 Master Shake vibes.
Oh absolutely.
Duck guy = shake
Yellow guy = meatwad
Red guy = Frylock
A trio reacting to this trippy bullshit will always be gold.
Yeah the dynamics are similar only with Duck being less abusive towards yellow guy than Shake was towards Meatwad.
>less abusive
David apologist
Duck is absolutely abusive to Yellow Guy. He bites him.
Not nearly as abusive as Shake was towards Meatwad, otherwise the age rating would have to be bumped up.
Hang on did they just make british, PG-13 aqua teen hunger force?
For me felt more like regular show
I really liked the first episode's brand of meta, where the teacher fricks up a scene transition and strands them in a factory for 40 years before carrying on like nothing happened. I wish they had done a bit more in that particular vein of metafrickery.
Yeah that was muy favorite gag.
>last few years
I don't remember seeing this shit at all in like 10-12 years... what did I miss?
Imagine finding these two in your home.
why is there no yellow guy version in the upper floors
Yellow's the main guy. He's the one who's being taught.
Because it's adapting to him, not even leslie was real. We've seen since the food episode that the real escape is the cellar.
They are all distractions for yellow guy. The real red guy and duck guy are in the kitchen. All the others are distractions.
>Yellow guys smart now?
Make smarter friends to distract him
>friends not smart enough?
Make smarter ones
>still going?
Let him think he’s won with the book from Leslie
Yellow knew about all that stuff before he encountered it, although he couldn't remember.
oh wow I didn't catch that
why do they have frickin 20 foot arms
They're puppets in a surreal show. Does it really have to make sense?
brain is so big it stretches into the arms
they're part of the big boy room. Try and keep up, mate
so they can write on the walls I guess
>I WAS DEALING WITH HIM!
>S1E6 ended with Red Guy pulling the plug on the machine operating the house, causing reality to reset/the show to end/wathever you interpreted the end as.
>by S2E6, Electracey is running on batteries so even when plugged out (as shown by her feet also being plugs), the house is still operational.
i wonder if that is just for the gag or if there is something going on in there, the parallels between the lights going out in S2E6 while YG discovers the "truth" of his existance and the ending sequence of S1E6 were the first thing that popped on my head as i watched it.
all the 6 episodes of the series parallel the original shorts, i'm surprised the lorefriends haven't caught on
Yeah, despite what i see people throwing around, the general implication i got from watching is that Season 1 still happened but something went wrong between seasons and they were forced to restart the show, hence the reason Red Guy seems to be way more frustrated compared to S1. Also would tie into the rest of his weird behaviour across the episodes:
>Enjoying his position as the boss in Jobs as, despite it being similar to his old boring desk job, he enjoys finally being able to have some control in his life.
>First person to get the idea to move on from the Duck's "death" by creating another character to fill his spot so the show can still go on.
>Fully goes along with the Tree's proposal to try and find his family tree in S2E3 and comments that he's happy to finally be with them, implying either that these are (projections of) his real family members that he wanted to see or is just happy to finally be talking with other Red People again instead of a bunch of objects.
the family photo thing was sad, i did not like it
looks like the yellow guy it's not a virgin anymore
He sure put a fat nut in her amiright fellas?
I'd like to make Yellow Guy my father-in-law, if you know what I mean...
She sure knew how to turn his nut.
she's cute.
The mom can get it
cute
>"I like it anon but not as much as I like lasagna!"
So cute!
Do you think they are still out there? Assuming they didn't immediately freeze to death or starve. Did they get reset or simply replaced with a new trio out of Leslie's drawer.
>one unknown terrifying object
They are fricked
I hope this is not another muh post apocalyptic world thing being hinted at.
>just noticed the license plate on the car says LE5L3Y
Yeah it's meant to be his name
It's the attic woman's name.
Oh shit I just noticed the entire last episode takes place on June 20th.
Oh shit I'm slow, it's every episode. I could have sworn I still saw June 19 popping up.
Now, Grolton was the dog?
Grolton is the human and he always makes his appointments.
Brit shit needs to share that water with the dog.
Waters the only thing that taste good in that hell hole.
Horvis is the human and he was mistaken with his appointment with his brother in the second episode.
Just say you haven't watched the show anon and you've came here to shitpost.
DHMIS is my favorite show. I hope someday I can watch it
I remember the shorts being wacky dark humor stuff. How do they managed to stretch it out over 21 minutes? Like is their something eerie going on in the background the whole time or what?
they focus on the humor with the dark being an additional spice.
It really wasn't about the horror, it's just the scrimblo bimblo effect where children makes cheeky "scary" things made by gen x into actual horror.
one of my favorite things about the web series was how quotable almost every line of dialogue was, glad to see that carried over to the show
Don't even talk to me until I've had my lasagna
Some people think it's not real food.
But I quite like it and I think you will too.
stop it
Family > Jobs > Transport > Electricity > Death > Friendship

i would die for stain
thoughts about the twins weirdos?
they just wanted some chicken
this
nice
I was 100% expecting them to make out at some point, but I'm glad they didn't, incest is just too obvious of a joke to make with family.
It's hilarious how their father turned out to be the baby. Made a already uncomfortable joke hilariously worst in the best way
Reminds me of link
?t=00m55s
I appreciated the very direct reference.
Never seen this
Only watched half the series but so far:
Death>Family>Jobs
Old and pretty based welsh stop-motion show, used to be very popular in bongland
Damn, that windowframe must've been pressing into his nuts cuz his voice went up super-high when it closed on him.
I like how they reused the spring headed guy from the original Wakey Wakey trailer as the yellow guys imaginary shy brother
So I get that the symbols are extended alchemical symbols often connected with the occult but they don't really have any collective meaning.
>they're pretending they don't respect me
what female do you want as a girlfriend Cinemaphile?
fax machine would be a wild wild ride
Fax you your dickpics, sir?
My gut is telling me Electracey. Claire is too boring and Fax Machine (while having the hottest voice) is too thirsty. Never even considered the elevator computer to be honest
>Never even considered the elevator computer to be honest
Why not? Can't handle a big gal going up in the world, huh?
What about the cars GPS
I actually forgot about her.
Any other girls?
I mean BreadBoy is a milf now so
So how would that work for you?
Would you just cum on her and spread it like butter?
the sandwichussy
No that's when she calls her sister over and you stick it inbetween(with some lettuce and cheese).
That's not Breadboy himself, that's his wife, obviously
AYO THE BREAD SCORED!!
Electracey a cute.
Electracey has a cute voice and personality, but her body isn't erotic whatsoever.
nobody's body is erotic in this show
has anyone made tumblr sexyman/sexywoman designs for the new teachers yet? its tradition at this point
I found a couple.
thanks I hate it
Warren isn't nearly ugly enough, frick off
this ugly enough?
needs a sonichu neckless
Give him a bit more acne and yeah that would be ugly enough
Is the left one supposed to be Crow? I genuinely can't tell.
GOD HAS FORSAKEN US
Warren should look like one of those pink wojaks with acne whose also balding.
I also imagine him wearing an american eagle tshirt.
Wow they look all the same
>Electracey has a cute voice and personality
I didn't see the difference between her and the others.
She genuinely just seems excited to teach them about electricity instead of it just being her job, and she isn't arrogant
Also she plays the guitar
>also she plays the guitar
Anon falls for a art hoe
Honestly I agree, her floppy cord body also makes her seem sort of peppy and energetic(lol).
As long as you love your electric meter girlfriend you can look past any bad looks. Well at least she'll consent to putting on a paper bad.
Electric fleshlight.
>Go on try it!
>No, why?
>Try it!
>Okay, fine.
>Try it!
>All right!
Cute!
The wrench reminds me of Hoops and Yoyo.
Friendship was the worst episode. Not that it didn't have some good bits, but Warren was a very "non-DHMIS" feeling villain. Didn't feel as timeless as the other topics covered.
ok stop.
Well, it was supposed to be internet day after all. He wasn't supposed to be there to begin with
How does that work anyway, if it's all a fabrication then how can warren have existing backstory outside the set?
Old clayhill story?
I think they just show up whenever they damn well please, like how the time travel guy showed up right after they took off in the transportation teachers dead body
Warren was an imposter. That's why he wasn't part of the organization he kept mentioning and why he wasn't an eagle. He was an outsider intruding on things. Which in itself was part of the theme of why he was a toxic friend. Fake, rude, self-absorbed, and pushy.
What's not timeless about that one guy who keeps fricking everything up and keeps getting into other people's business even though everyone just wants him to frick off?
OK STOP
Clearly anon is completely wrong here and that we all know Friendship was the best episode
I never really got what they were going for with him. The others had clear messages but the worm just feels like he represents a really annoying person that one of the creators used to know.
I think it's just a setpiece for when they were still doing the pilot setting. 3D animation was probably expensive.
he's a pretty direct representation of a shitty friend who forces himself into a group, doesn't care about anything but his own interests to the detriment of everyone else, is extremely clingy, and takes it out on his "friends" and accuses them of being bad friends when they get sick of him and refuse to indulge him any longer
he reminded me old British school anti-bullying PSAs from the early 2000s. i assumed he was parodying those.
My personal least favorite was the transportation one. I still liked it but it was my least favorite.
>It smells like poison...
>It's my very special, very warm drink!
I don't know, there was that nice little bit of meta of Red trying his damndest to not only escape the status quo but also potentially get back to the pilot that gave it a good hook.
objectively wrong
my favorite part of the whole damn thing
>there was still another staircase
was there? at the very top?
The real world, the set where they film DHMIS
>Leslie is the demiurge
>yellow guy is a psychic on his way of achieving gnosis and becoming a pneumatic
>the stairs and the different versions of red and crow guy are illusions designed by leslie/the demiurge to keep yellow guy distracted and away from achieving gnosis, by keeping him trapped in the material world
>the staircase behind leslie means there's something else above her (the barbelo/monad)
gnostard analysis over
i noticed that too friend in some ways all we live in an actual NIGHTMARE
When did they play this alt intro?
second episode.
All the episodes have different intros.
I think that one was in episode 3 or 4.
Oh shit what!? Missed out by skipping the intros
how dare you do that
I always knew you deserved to be dead.
Thanks anon, you always know how to make me feel better about myself
I think that one was ep 4. It changes every episode.
ep 4
>yellow guy powered by batteries = flesh automaton = hylic
three types of human beings (hylics, psychics, pneumatics) = three main characters that fit the archetypes
>the teachers are archons keeping all 3 inside the material plane by torturing them or passively observing/monitoring them (like in the case of tony the clock and the computer)
>crow guy being replaced and the implication that all 3 can be easily replaced by leslie = gnostic reencarnation
Is funny how this show in the background is just a big gnosism resume seriusly even the matrix werent that red pilling about the nature of this planet, also i find funny how happy songs are capable of give existencial crisis
>You can be anything but only one thing in your life
>Dying is a party but we dont know why?
Unemployed Brendan is cute
David is the stones name, moron
stones dont have names
>Unemployed Brendan
at the end of jobs, suitcase says its time for unemployed brendon to take a bath
was he molesting him?
dont project your bath molestation onto random shows
ok groomer
He's a neet, they typically go months not showering just to spend all their time pirating anime and video games
Idk how people can live with themselves like that, tbh. Can't tell you how many people said they didn't bathe when covid started because they're not trying to impress everyone, and as someone who can't stand the smell or feel of my own sweat it dumbfounds me.
The songs are starting to grow on me. At first I thought they were less memorable but I think that's just because I watched them all in a row where the old ones had years between them
THERE'S THREE OF US
MAKE IT STOP
Some songs range from salvageable to great but for example the ones from Transport are just straight up garbage.
the second transport song is pretty good
They do this singing-talking thing and it feels very lazy, there's no clear sense of direction and it's obvious that they think of the dialogue first, then the song. And I know the main trio are capable of making good songs, for example the Wakey Wakey song, or the Big Day song, or the intro, these are all much better examples that show what they're capable of.
I'm pretty sure the transportation song was one of the intentionally fricked up and bad songs. The teacher was literally dying and wincing in pain the entire time
Isn't that the joke since the teacher was in the midst of his death throws?
I'm gonna miss big Ian
Hello, I'm big Ian!
>surprisingly
DHMIS has been solid in quality from start to finish, which is honestly a huge achievement in hindsight.
My favorite Teacher because he was a fricking butthole
what was with him running around asking for help with no eye in electricity?
he already taught his lesson, so now he has no purpose and is trapped in the dark void
I always thought Roy was the guy in control of the simulation
Of the old iteration of the show
But when it got rebooted he got let go and now has to murder and eat innocent families
MAKE THE CALL
Seeing a lot of people say that Jobs is the weakest of the episodes, but personally I think the HR Elevator AI is peak DHMIS useless teacher and has a great song
I think Jobs just started out a bit weak. It probably doesn't help that people weren't used to the new format yet when watching it.
Outside of the Carehound I wasn't feeling Jobs, but then they reveled that the whole workplace was still a part of the song and I lost it.
Well I'm not one of those people, everything after the first song starts (and gets interrupted) is great
jobs is probably the strongest honestly
Don't talk to me until I've had my HOT BLACK WATER
>Ive had my insides removed!
>the killed crow still has his insides
>but also has maggots
So who really died that day Luigi? And who came back?
Wait yellow get is a pig?
Seems like it. I thought it was just a "Yellow Guy is dumb and thinks he's a pig" joke during the intro but then in the episode 4 ending fight he gets called a pig and squeals like one so it seems to be true.
No, he's just stupid.
He runs on batteries, do pigs run on batteries?
long pig
That pilot genuinely looked really bad, I'm glad that they dropped it. They should at least have it as a special on the channel or something though.
I've been meaning to watch the pilot myself, anyone have a link to the full thing?
I know it's going to be potato quality, don't worry
You can find it on youtube, but it's only half. The other half of the episode is lost.
Some more of it has been found recently like this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Rgzr8ocVc but you're right that the full episode still isn't available, unfortunately. I think about 3/4ths of it(but nothing from the ending) is out there.
I doubt they'd want it on Channel 4 since they really don't seem to like it. If we're lucky we might get it released as a bonus on a DVD or something I guess.
Shit you meant the youtube channel, didn't you? Yeah I agree that'd be neat.
>The fricking oversized house wallet
I don't know why that gag made me laugh so much

Alright gnostics, what's this symbol mean?
It seems to be pretty common.
Its the letter C with funny google eyes and arms and legs doing a little jig

>c shape: body
>parts coming out from the c shape: arms and legs(some are mutated)
simple as
Look up "chaos magick" and "sigil". This show uses a lot of them.
Let's crack in to these Chuddy Dees.
average British smile
Why's it weirdly cute though?
poopets
Now that the dust has settled, who was in the wrong?
Duck was in the wrong at first and then yellow guy was in the wrong when he attacked Duck while Red was already dealing with it.
Yellow should have written the password down somewhere, but Red and Duck were dicks to Yellow.
red for wearing denim when he clearly doesn't have the body type to pull it off
they should know by now that Yellow is a moron(due to low batteries, which they accept later on to avoid paying electricity bills) and thus shouldn't be near expensive equipment or given important tasks like remembering a password.
>Ew, claymation!
I wonder why they used so much claymation this time around.
>Red: "Hey! don't say that"
I can't believe that Yellow is canonically racist against claymation entities
Any moments you thought were genuinely scary/ or just creepy
The twins were pretty upsetting. Also yellow being in the big boy room was pretty weird and unnerving.
the family episode was pretty out there
I thought the entire ending was freaky, the idea that Yellow Guy is stuck forever as a drooling moron and the others want him that way, and that they'll never escape or even know anything more about their situation, and even the implication that this has happened before
for me it was the free vending machine
Is it me or the VA was the same as Salad Fingers? Or at least had a similar tone.
I was thinking the same when watching it
I think it was just Becky Sloane since it sounded more female.
The most genuinely disturbing part was Yellow shredding the book. I've always found the "stupid person does something with grave consequences but is unaware of it" thing really viscerally unpleasant.
>They didn't see the staircase behind Lesley
The book was just a trick to make him go back downstairs
I thought Green being buried alive would've been scary, but that ended up leading to one of the funniest scenes in the season.
From when Yellow met God to shredding the book of knowledge they gave him after Red and Green made him a moron again. They're stuck in the cycle.
Red getting his blood sucked out by the tree made me feel sick because my body has a visceral reaction to having blood taken like that. Also the chaotic energy of the industrial accident in episode 1 with the sirens and panic and no-one knowing how to help would have been unsettling as frick if it wasn't for all the workers cheering that The Accident had arrived, that just made it extremely funny instead.
>The Accident had arrived
I was extremely entertained by this
True facts.
More like because it's a musical show with puppeteering, bro. That shit takes time.
What I found hilarious is they ask the one worker where briefcase guy went and he tells them the truth by pointing at the med kit on the wall.
The joke being that briefcase guy really did have a job and his job was working at the factory as a med-kit. He wasn't hiding, he didn't abandon them. He literally just showed up at his absurd puppet job and was working.
That whole scene was just perfectly done and everything was telegraphed beforehand: both with the PSA warning that an accident is inevitably going to happen and Duncan pointing to the first aid kit at the start of the episode.
The family episode as a whole
That moment in Family when Lily goes over to Yellow and the sudden human hand crawling up his shoulder.
any scene with the twins. Thought they were going to start fricking each other on screen at any moment
I'm not really feeling this TV version. Not as good as the web series.
Warren is an allegory for trans people
No, he's an analogy for people who want you to try out this cool new business idea, listen to my podcast this will all make sense, this will work this time we just need to change the topic towards me
>im an eagle not a worm
>groomerpox
>grooms yellowguy
>im being attacked
This. It's about pyramid schemes and the people that try to rope others into them through "friendship" and guilt tripping.
morons
LISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN
Will they ever post the full pilot?
They'd fricking better. From what I've seen of it it definitely has its moments, though I am very glad that they scrapped most of it and made the show the way it is now.
"There has to be something, ANYTHING"
God, the desperation in Red during the Transportation episode fricked with me.
Hello anons, my names Leslie
still don't get what the door opening to the even higher realm means, is that where roy is?
Roy is in the wall
Where is money guy, I'm still waiting for answers
I kinda wish she didn't scream and they just played it completely straight.
Memories of me writing a post... in the thread about dhmis
Memories of me being told by him… why my post was fake and gay…
Far too weak!
False and homosexual!
>implying there's gonna be any more episodes
They're basically done, they did what they wanted with the big money they got.
honestly they've nailed an episodic format that i could see them continuing. also that finale didn't really feel like a finale to me, at least not in the same way the youtube series ended.
We've gotten all the clues and technically gotten a bittersweet ending. The gang is in a permanent loop because of their natures and someshit.
clues are nice and all but need to learn how to buy a canoe
The 3 of them used to be more in the "straight man" role, reacting to the batshit insane teacher puppet who started the episodes song and slowly started to frick with them.
Now they're just as wacky as everything else going on. It makes it a lot less scary, but its still a pretty weird/funny show anyway.
The songs feel kinda pointless and tacked on now that they're not the centerpiece though.
I thought other than the red guy, the characters were pretty similar to the original. The bird was the straight man for a majority of it, followed by the yellow guy. His reactions to the job and the family were pretty reasonable. I think the biggest difference is that the teachers aren't nearly as antagonist as they were in the original series
Even the original teachers are friendly now.
They know that the jig is up and that they are also trapped there with them. So they only half heartedly do their job because they know that the three don't care.
Imagine meeting God and He laughs in your face.
And that's AFTER telling you you're her favorite.
>Bigger big boys just sit around torturing a lab experiment and philosophizing
>Leslie is on a higher floor doing essentially the same thing to the three and laughing at them for not understanding that it is just pointless repetitive torture with no meaning or purpose
A good metaphor for life itself and God.
>Normal boys are too stupid to realize what the world is, though they can sense there's something wrong with it, their actions will eventually just lead them back or worse
>Big boys are no better than the normal boys, they're just smugger about it with quirkier memorized catchprases. Relying more on the image of intelligence than actual intelligence.
>Bigger boys are just sociopaths by circumstance. Not really interested in actual intellectual persuit, they are really just attempting to fill their own personal void with flaunting their superiority
It's the story of humanity.
>normies
>midwits
>politicians
>normal boys are poor people
>big boys are middle class
>bigger boys are the wealthy
>lesley is the israelites
Leslie is Thatcher
Then what’s on the floor above Leslie?
We will never know. And it's probably gonna be not as interesting as we think.
Probably an infinite loop, maybe it's the cellar where the party is located, maybe the party is golden dirt.
I meant metaphorically. If the four floors are a metaphor for humanity, how different levels of intelligence manifest, or something like that, what’s on the highest level? Gnostic awakening? Forming and living by a coherent moral philosophy?
Is Yellow getting the book and returning downstairs without noticing the next staircase a metaphor for people searching for meaning, being given it by someone who isn’t as knowledgeable as they seem, and thus missing out on real understanding?
>Is Yellow getting the book and returning downstairs without noticing the next staircase a metaphor for people searching for meaning, being given it by someone who isn’t as knowledgeable as they seem, and thus missing out on real understanding?
I really like that interpretation. It works with the lower floors too.
>Normal boys don’t care about searching for meaning. They’re only concerned with the here and now, unable to plan ahead, introspection, or recognize their circumstances. If another normal boy begins searching for meaning, they become hostile and unfriendly.
>Big boys are pseudointellectuals who act smug and intelligent, but have no idea how little they know. They might just enjoy putting others down for being dumber. The secrets of the universe could literally be right in front of them and they wouldn’t see them.
>Bigger boys mistake sociopathy for intelligence and masturbatory thought experiments for philosophy. They’ve lost sight of what truth and meaning even are.
>Leslie (and the people or concepts she represents) might understand the meaning behind things, or recognize genuine truth. She might not. What she’s really interested in is giving other people answers, either as a form of control or as masochistic entertainment. By accepting her word as truth and ending your search, you lose out on the chance for real understanding.
Leslie is the guy who made that super long explainer video about how Twin Peaks is REALLY just about violence in TV, and everything else is secondary or random bullshit. No deeper meaning, that’s it, you can stop searching now.
the sex floor
The problem with the quest for knowledge is that you can't ever know if you have figured everything out or not.
The show itself takes a few pot shots at this with things like duck going through his visual inventory which is a metaphor for the scientific method/ science itself trying to figure out an absurd world through arbitrary method and rationalization.
>Hence why red guy asks duck why he counts each tile instead of just the floor
>Or duck double counting the dead fly which is a jab at scientific
But anyway I like the show because it is much more philosophical than it seems and everything is symbolic. The characters in their world is but a metaphor for our own lives and how little we know and how much we are at the mercy of the roles we fill (jobs), experts who only give us empty platitudes like the teachers, (death), and so forth.
Double counting the fly is a joke about scientific uncertainty and miscalculation
>The problem with the quest for knowledge is that you can't ever know if you have figured everything out or not.

I love this interpretation, Anon! Imagine if the final room was empty? It’s just time, the book you brought from downstairs (representing existing knowledge and philosophy, which might or might not be true) and you. Because you’re the one who has to figure it out now. Good luck!
>You can never completely understand the world because you can't step outside of it.
>So just do yourself a favor and stop thinking about it and enjoy your computer time.
This approach only works if you’re confident existence isn’t secretly a nightmare hellscape, or some kind of purposeful journey that sufficient understanding would let you end successfully. Which also kind of works with the show.
But to answer your question it doesn't matter whose at the top. What's to say that there aren't yet more steps in the next room and on and on forever? You can never completely understand the world because you can't step outside of it. You are trapped in the proverbial puppet house with everyone else. At the constant mercy of forces bigger than you and beyond your comprehension. So just do yourself a favor and stop thinking about it and enjoy your computer time.
I don't think that's who she is
I think it's just her job in to keep things in check, but her station is determined further up and she's just used to where she is, like all the others
She's just another teacher
Is the actress an actual producer on DHMIS? That'd make it even more meta and weird.
You connect to the speaker through bluetooth.
That scene was too real despite it being imaginary.
Why people keep missing the obvious "healthy eating" theme from the apple to the family devouring chicken to even the old teacher coming back to ramble about it?
The producers are vegetarian so they frequently take jabs at the meat eater crowd.
So that's the meaning behind the raw chicken legs in episode 3.
Doesn't really make sense though, vegetarians wouldn't use meat for any reason since the goal is to stop the killing.
I think it's just a sort of schism thing, like oh everyone loves chicken but what if the chicken was RAW?
It's like finding a worm in your apple, it's meant to be psychological grossout horror.
They have done interviews stating that they are vegetarians and that was the motivation behind that and the food episode.
It really is nothing more than "hurr meat eaters savage and messy durr"
>vegetarians wouldn't use meat for any reason
My dude it's a dietary preference not a religion. There are varying degrees of it.
Nostalgia goggles
This. Vegans are mentally ill, preachy losers.
This, they straight up went and bought raw bloody meat and put it there not for shock value but to make a dumb statement. I can respect if you just don't want to eat meat. It's fine and yes the meat industry is fricked up but I won't stop eating meat and you should respect it too same way I respect your decission.
Btw hope no vegan reading this buys clothes or basically any product manofactured in China or india lol.
You might want to jump ship now because everything in this show is left leaning and you aren't going to have a good time once you start seeing the meaning behind the metaphors.
for example
>Fossil fuels bad
Don't asume I don't entail progressive views just because I don't like vegans calling me a monster for eating meat. I do believe fossil fuels are nocive for the enviroment and I absolutely love other takes of DHMIS like the cult short or the Jobs episode. Just because I disagree in one thing doesn't mean I disagree on everything. Life isn't black and white. Nuances and middle grounds are important.
>I do believe fossil fuels are nocive for the environment
Then you are a fricking moron
>gurr hurr rocks burning and heating up the planet aren't bad for the planet durr
My bad. It just seems like sometimes people on both sides get overly worked up about vegetarianism.
If you didn't care when you thought it was shock value but did care when you realized it was a statement, you need to realize that it's possible to be criticized and not take it personally.
They do say they use prop meat now because they completely fricked up one of their props with rotting meat and the smell lingered in the studio.
thats kind of sad
proof that politics always do nothing but make a product worse, if they had said nothing it could have been speculated to be something actually clever by fans, honestly artists should never say anything about their work
If I hadn't mentioned it you wouldn't have even realized. Just appreciate it for what it is and don't worry so much about the logic behind it.
People are passionate about what they value or care about. This unfortunately means that people are going to inject their opinion into things. Kind of like people who in casual conversation feel compelled to bring up race, religion, sexual orientation, politics, etc out of nowhere.
How is that related to vegans being mentally ill?
Was very pleasantly surprised. Went in expecting creepypasta-tier "what if baby show but le disturbing" but it ended up being British aqua teen hunger force
Does the love butterfly make a cameo anywhere? He's the only original teacher I didn't notice anywhere
He got killed off for being a pesky bee. The Malcolm statue is still around
This TV season started kinda slow but ended well. Wonder if a second season is in the cards.
Though I'm guessing because it's a British show it'll be a couple years until a Season 2 will appear.
Wakey Wakey and the Security song from the OG pilot is so much better than any of the songs in the show itself. Also it just has a better story. Instead of having the main three be approached by a teacher and just having them follow said teacher, the pilot had every main character doing something different and interesting. I can't even remember what Red Guy or Duck does in half the episodes in the TV show.
I know we all hate politics but it would've been interesting for DHMIS to tackle it. As they tackled religion, capitalism and more serious concepts in the OG Youtube shorts.
The humor is so weird too. DHMIS was funny to me because of the uncanniness, actually writing in jokes made me dislike it.
I dunno, everyone is praising it here but, it wasn't weird or uncanny enough, funny enough, or catchy enough to be a win in my book. Only "Jobs" and "Electricity" had me entertained all the way through. The rest were mediocre to forgettable.
Electricity had the best song and atmosphere. Jobs revealing they've been stuck in factory purgatory for 40 years was a good moment.
Hard disagree. Would've been shit to have an American team write this without the deadpan British humour. All to just be about shitting on Donald Trump because that was trendy and relevant at the time, we dodged a major bullet.
Electricity felt the most like one of the net shorts.
The military : INVINCIBLE
Yellow guy : FAR TOO WEAK
Who's Lesley?
She's Lesley
>Duck Guy's gravestone in 2 said David instead of his actual name
>Incidentally, the coffin at the start of the episode originally thought Yellow was the one who was dead, not Duck
>Yellow also has a D on his overalls much like how Roy has an R on his, implying his name starts with a D
>Rather than having a heart pumping his blood, Yellow has batteries powering him like how Frankenstein's Monster is powered by electricity.
>His slow thinking could also be another reference to Frankenstein, as well as his green skin in the new universe in Episode 6 of the original series, since both are characteristics of Frankenstein.
>There's also the fact that the first actual scene with Leslie is the one where she's illustrating Yellow being hit by a car, and later says he's "not her son".
Yellow Guy is actually an undead revival of Roy/Leslie's son. Roy tried using the show as a way to punish him as he saw him as an abomination of man due to how moronic he was, while Leslie is actually trying to get him to learn through lessons, which is why the new ones in the series have teachers who are way less deadly.
>Duck Guy says that Yellow is their pet when trying to argue they are a family in S2E3
>The pet Yellow Guy brings up in S2E6 is also filled with wires within its guts, with Electracey ruling it as a "maybe" on wether or not its powered by electricity
Felt that might also be interesting to point out
>cuts off his finger and smoke comes out
>has batteries
>Roy completely ignores him in every possible way now
>casket dudes first guess to being dead
>"UR NOT MY REAL SON, LOL"
The real ones escaped during the original shorts or something and the endless reboots are going on with literal replacements.
He was bleeding in Death and Employment though
In a hallucination/flashback part
Employment? Arguable.
Death? Nah. His blood was shooting out.
>His slow thinking could also be another reference to Frankenstein
Thats because he is a moron.
OK STOP
The characters are way less likeable than in the original shorts. Red Guy is too emotional and doesnt do shit, Duck is too much of a c**t and too stupid and passive too and Yellow Guy is just barely even there, almost like a background character.
>Yellow Guy is just barely even there, almost like a background character
That's kinda the point. His dad isn't forcing him to be the main character anymore.
If you view season 2 as a continuation of season 1 then Red Guy losing his shit all the time makes way more sense.
nta
Red Guy didn't seem like he was hysterical that often. He was just less monotone. It could be intentional or it could be that the actor just didn't want to sound the same in all his scenes.
in 6 years we'll get a third season where there's an episode where the gang joins the military and has to experience the horrors of war
Except Yellow Guy, obviously
He's far too weak!
Yellow won't, he's too weak
Where the FRICK are you guys all watching this?
It's all on YT lad. Hell, the algorithm dropped it in my lap before this thread.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOaM4_YwbNX5VXb-CrKzycw
Congrats on being spoonfed, you gigantic raging homosexual virgin.
what boards would red, duck, and yellow browse
/ic/ and they'd all browse it together because they're creativebros
Lesley on the Neighborhood Watch sign?
This was so cute
I love how distressed the narrator was able to get when he was gonna be hit by the car. Like that was true terror.
Leaker here
Next episode the gang will go to Mr. Meaty
What do you anons think about the episodes being stretched to 24 minutes from the average 3-6 or so minutes the Youtube shorts had? IMO it kinda dragged at points for some episodes, though it was still pretty good.
I like it but they should drop the songs at some point. Keeping the uality of the songs for 24 minutes atraight it's too much.
It was always at the halfway point that I started to lose interest and came back to the episode after doing something else.
I was slightly worried when I heard about it, and while you can also feel the censorship the Brits have trickling in a little bit, it's actually not that bad.
What kind of censorship?
>How did they pull it off?
The team clearly has both genuine skill and genuine passion for their work. Something seemingly rare in the modern entertainment industry, but thanks to that they made something great.
And something that unlike most media, I confidently say hasnt had any drop in quality. Hell even that bit they made in the amazing world of gumball was high quality.
>noticed the wide expanse after the powercut is identical to the one Red found himself in at the climax of the 6th short
>never even noticed that the checked floor pattern has literally just been their kitchen floor tile pattern since the very first short
wow
>Entire house runs on "electricity"
>Likely a metaphor for how the Show-Reality relied on the plug back in Season 1
why is tony dead, despite also being their wall clock in the living room and capable of speaking to other visitors eg time child?
there were a ton of dead teachers in that shot. Including the notepad and the fridge.
lesley always have replacements.
same happened with me
My theory
>Lesley and Roy are Yellow Guys parents.
>His real name is David.
>He died in a car accident, you can see it in the part where he dreams about Mulhoven.
>Lesley created a world where clones of him can exist and live, since she misses him.
>David's clones have been in the simulation for a long time. In Wakey Wakey he mentioned it's his 38th birthday. To stop him catching on she intentionally stunts his intelligence with the batteries.
>Roy was abusive or wanted to get out so he's stunted to. Lesley forces him to stay because family.
>There's another level below the house where the engine that runs the world is. You can see it when the 3 Guys are in the black world with the black and white tiles. Reality is pretty wonky here.
>At the end of the webseries, Red Guy lands here and should've left the machine unplugged to end it but by resetting it they got right back where they started (idk about the different colours).
>Lesley leaves the door open upstairs and other ways out (like driving) so she can convince herself she isn't imprisoning them and is giving them a way out, they just don't want it.
>No idea who Red Guy and Duck are. Maybe David's uncles and pet?
>green, talking bird
>likes raisins
>has propensity to bite yellow guy
Yep, Green guy is meant to be Yellow Guy pet parrot.
You may be onto something there...
Would also explain away the deal with the multiple Ducks on the drawer, he is a pet duck. Its the equivalent of a pet dying and the parent buying a new one to not make the child sad.
Duck dies the most but all of them died back in the second web episode. Yellow Guy even says "you killed me" to Tony when he appears in the sixth.
Wondering if YG being run over may not have happened BETWEEN the YT and TV series and be the actual reason why the show is back on air, they are using it as a "babyproofed" reality so YG doesn't get killed again. Not a lot to support that claim but it would explain why Roy has a smaller presence this time around if he lost custody of YG after he died.
I think there's something going on metaphorically with the Wallace and Gromit parody where Yellow Guy can never tell who is the pet and who is the owner seeing as the show draws a lot of attention to it, best i can think of is that it might be a metaphor for Episode 2 with Duck getting buried in David's place (as the Yellow Guy saw Duck as his dog in the dream).
I actually like the Film Theory take on it where Red Guy is a creator of a children's show that Roy owns, and forces his son to be on. Combining that with this, David (Roy's real son) died and the show is Roy trying to recreate his son and roping Red into helping with his twisted fantasy.
I could see this but would change it slightly so that
>Red did show with Roy.
>At the end of 6 he took back the show and did a lower budget reboot (pic related).
>Reboot fails.
>David dies, then Leslie does a big budget reboot of her own - the TV season.
>Roy wants nothing to do with it so minimal appearances but Leslie forces him to be on it.
Forgot pic
I wonder if these guys will ever show up
it's the 20 of june in the new season but where are they
Correct but he isn't a clone, he's a robot. He literally runs on batteries. This explains why his dad doesn't care too much about him, he isn't his real son.
Remember the episode about death? Remember how after duck died the other two spent the rest of the episode molding stain into becoming the new duck? Leslie is just sad that her child died and now she's constructed a fake world full of her brain friends (friendship ep) to deal with the trauma of losing her son. See also that episode about jobs where yellow guy loses his child after he snaps back to reality when the song resumes.
>If only they had listened
Ok so I see allot of gnostic theorizing with this season which as I’ve been struggling to figure out what this season is about I think this Gnostic interpretation makes perfect sense! So I got thinking on this track and reading yalls stuff and realized something. So the levels in the house are in essence the levels of understanding there are the normal boys the average joes of the world unaware of the world and victim to the control and torture of those above them and seemingly unable to escape by merely forcing their way out via Transportation. Then there are the Big Boys the pseudo intellectuals still victim to the control factors of the world seen by the morph suits putting everything. Then the Bigger Boys are these sociopathic scientist types that just reject truth but fully embrace this amoral science experiments. But then there is Leslie I’m not sure if she is a demiurge or maybe just some kind of person who has truth or at least thinks she does and controls/ torments all those below her for some reason. But that’s not the point I’m trying to get at. When yellow guy gets the book I initially thought this could be some kind of win for the Three of them and that the shredding was their only hope being taken from them. But think about it that book came from Leslie! It was probably something that would make them like the Big Boys or Bigger boys or something awful like her or maybe just keep them deeper down! But Leslie may have not perceived that they would destroy it and Now with her trump card gone they can maybe break the cycle by forging there new path! I don’t know but I think that could give the ending of season 1 and almost terrifying and hopeful end.
Leslie is the only real person in the series. Everyone else is just one of her brain friends. The death of Yellow guy broke her and this imaginary world is essentially her "brain worm". Not literally but metaphorically as a mental illness.
Why was the friendship episode the funniest? I'd attribute it to the teacher being an actual character rather than an unstoppable force.
The worm was just so pathetic that he span around to being amusing.
Spun. Why do brits think "span" is the past tense of "spin"? Geeze. Got this same problem with british furry authors, including that HATSSS author.
It's still a past tense, just an archaic one.
It's another word for distance or passage of time. Brits need to fix their shit.
If you've dealt with schizo-era Cinemaphile, it is just the perfect pisstake on both sides of the aisle
none of the teachers were unstoppable forces, they Moreso just went with the flow
Yeah, just remembered how powerless the coffin was.
I just remembered how fricking amazingly gritty his introduction was and he turns out to be the most normal straight man from then on
Greek tragedy is that the Eagle really did try to help Yellow and had he stayed the course he would have had a restaurant type meal with three friends. Instead he gave in to his temptations and became the monster he was supposed to save Yellow from.
Some people really are so annoying and off-putting that you don't want to be friends with them even if they haven't technically done anything wrong. I thought warren was a piss take on incles at first then I figured he was just a shitty person to be around.
Grolton is the dog.
proof?
Why would you lie like that?
>Hovrisgaygin
Grolton is the dog. The name is a pun on Growl
Episode 4 is so funny holy shit
>Could have broke the window to escape
>Decides to break it, take a glass shard and kill himself to make sure he's free of Warren
grolton = gromit = dog
so what's red guy's connection with phones? he's frequently shown using one
in dhmis6, he's shown working a boring office job, i'm guessing it's a call centre job.
I didn't laugh at all. I found it entertaining in that it held my attention because I wanted to see where things were going, but disturbing. I didn't see a damn thing funny. And I wonder about the state of people that did.
Okay your highness.
Its Aqua Teen Hunger Force only British and with an actual budget.
>Thing is similar to other thing.
Oh wow I didn't realize! Anyway
Jobs hit close to home. Made me think about how we are all just playing out roles and how at work we tend to fall into these corny cliche dialogues and habits. Although it was pretty funny that red guy hated it the most and became the manager lol.
But they fell into those roles so damn FAST because...well, they're all pretty stupid. Yellow is a literal moron, Green is an idiot, and Red is like 15 percent smarter than Green, but overall they're a bunch of dumbasses.
They are kind of like literal children, or naive in the way that children's show puppets act.
>But they fell into those roles so damn FAST
yeah... getting a job is kind of like that... I hate it so damn much...
Now I'll watch it
I did not care for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. There I said it.
I liked the pastiche of old UK stopmotion kids shows during the fifth episode. The narrator screaming at the end made me jump.
That part felt pretty authentic, even shit like the old style vacuums in the shop.
I wish British people were real.
Can't start the day without my warm lasagna, black water and cigarette.
Some people say it’s not real food, but I quite like it and I think you will too.
Ho-HO! I wondered if that was a statement about everybody in the first world with a job shoving a bunch of fast food and processed junk into their mouths instead of ACTUAL food. Because that 15 or so minutes it takes to cook meals is just too much time.
>THAT'S WHAT FAMILY MEANS TO ME
>AND MY FAMILYYYY
The transport guy is old both as a symbolic representation of how Thomas the Train engine is an old show and how Leslie hasn't left the house in a long time. When she does she has to take anti-anxiety medication. She also associates vehicles with breaking down because that's what vehicles do, and they also sometimes hit children (like yellow guy).
You could even think of the three as aspects of the psyche with the Id being yellow guy, the Ego being Red guy, and Duck being the super-ego. They each want to stay home or in Red guys case go for a drive for different reasons. It is almost like a representation of Leslies own internal struggle of whether she wants to try leaving the house or staying home and keep playing pretend with her brain friends (the characters). But even after leaving the ending gives the sense that no matter what you do, even if you try to go somewhere there is both literally and metaphorically no where to go. Everywhere is just the same people and things happening and in some cases going somewhere else can end up stranding you somewhere you'd rather not be. So in the end they end up back home as a sort of rationalization that you might as well stay home because there is nowhere to go and no point to leaving.
