In addition to reflecting Sesame Street archetypes in their species, each character in DHMIS reflects Sesame Street in the type of puppet that they are. Red guy is a full body puppet like Big Bird. Yellow guy is a hand puppet with arms controlled by sticks, or “stick-hand”, like Bert. Duck is a hand puppet with arms controlled by someone’s actual hand, or “live-hand”, like Ernie. These are the three specific types of puppets used on Sesame Street and most other Muppet productions.

I was basically raised by the fandom and these characters as they we're an extremely important part of my childhood. It helped me when I was down and it keep me waiting with anticipation for the next episode. I remember being so excited on June 19th when they uploaded the 6th episode! Father's Day really isn't the best for me so having that there and being able to escape into a world with some of my favorite characters really helped:) That doesn't mean I forgive them for the terrors they caused me due to the 5th episode. Robin(green guy fandom name for those who don't know) is my favorite character and seeing that as a kid-...I still have nightmares 👁️👁️

[@urarakaochako835]

What if they were kidnapped and brutally killed so in the episodes they go through how they were murdered? They then try to escape not knowing they are dead and maybe the clock got mad because they were going onto something and he was trying to distract them. Also what if whenever they are going onto something they try to take it away by killing them. Everyday is a different day and how it goes will always end with a death.

I think it's also a critical look at how we allow children to use the media so freely without realizing the content of it. With the media being such a huge part of modern society parents often leave their kids to watch shows and videos without actually taking the time to look over the morals and ideals the shows promote.

[@Undrewie]

Like the creators said,they actually like cartoons,I do not think they would make an entire serie of videos to expose cartoons while liking most of them

[@SwordmaidenGwen]

I agree, there are many people who'd eagerly use an awesome media to mess kids up, so parents should definitely watch the cartoons they let their kids watch, and even better to watch it *with* their kids, just to be sure that they don't accidentally allow their kids to be brainwashed into things like the notepad saying that green is not a creative color or crazy brand chasing

I have a theory of my own, I noticed the calendar, it always says June 19th (today) and in the computer episode the time is 7:09 pm in military time, which suggests they are stuck in a dark time paradox, I’m going to pay close attention to the time the next time it hopefully comes up, if the same time comes up again I think that they are forever stuck in the same minute of the same day of the same year. I have a few more theories, conflicting with each other though, 1. They are slowly becoming self aware that they are being tortured in the making of this show 2. They have some reason to stay and keep playing as characters on this shows, such as they were kidnapped and being held against there will Clearly if they were allowed to leave by now they would have. I hope someone notices this theory because it could very well be plausible

Every time everyone makes a theory of some sort, I’m always like, “why didn’t I think of that?”

[@gut844]

Good theory but I have a theory that the 3 main characters are actually kept hostage and forced to make a show that's why in don't hug me I'm scared 3 theres a missing poster of them in the beginning of the video. They were kidnapped on June 19 (that's why the poster says last seen june 19) and all the videos take place on the same day. The first video is morning and they are eating breakfast. The second is early noon so they are watching tv. The 3rd video is lunch time so they are eating a picnic, thr fourth video is afternoon so they are playing a board game. The fifth video is dinner and Duck and yellow guy are about to eat lunch. And the 6th video is bed time so yellow guy is going to sleep. I have a theory that Red guy escaped being hostage that's why he was calling he was trying tell them that they are kept hostage since some of them think that they are at home. The date of their kidnapping is 1955 june 19. Who is the kidnapper you may ask it may be Roy. Red guy left the colorful world and went of to the real world, at the end of episode 5 we see him walking out of the phone booth wearing the suit we see him wearing in episode 6. Therefore the Episode 6 red guy 6 is not a flashback it is him going off to the real world not the Colorful allusion he was kidnapped into. What furthermore confirms this theory is the milk carton in episode 4. The red guy left as sneaky as possible but when the duck tried to leave he made it obvious by saying "I don't want to do this anymore." Therefore he was killed. Since the yellow guy is a kid he can't really comprehend what's going on and his father might be the kidnapper aswell. Anyways when Red guy pulls the plug that represents him and his friends being freed and the day becomes June 20. The puppets we see at the end are a new set of puppets kidnapped and forced to do the show. When red guy is freed and when he's singing the creativity song at the club, he Sees a haluncation of roy because of all the trauma he's be through. What may be a happy ending for the puppets we have seen previously is a terrible beginning for the new sets of puppets. What we see in wakey wakey is a new town called clay hill which is very familiar to the old town Yellow guy and red guy were kidnapped in but is more peaceful and better.
