I know this series on YouTube has been out for a while, but I've recently taken to it after the hype cleared out. I kinda love it.
For those not in the loop, "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" is a parody of educational children's television and how it preaches the wrong and damaging messages to its viewers. It takes playful jabs at some heavily handled topics. Sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle. Sometimes gory and horrific and that style of horror contrasts effectively and shockingly with the colorful innocence of the series.
In short, it's a allegorical juggernaut of internet horror that shows us the error of the media's ways in all its creepy and tyrannical goofiness.

Despite the obvious underlying message, there's some mystery moments in the series that leave me with more questions than answers.
