an alternate view on unemployed brendon’s meaning would be how jobs in creativity are praised in a fanciful nature (ie. the mention of being a painter in the job song) but is not taken seriously when taken into practice (brendon’s aspirations as a novelist) theres a whole attitude to teenagers and children that “you can be anything!” but as soon as you would want to have an alternative job, the restrictive walls come up
The relation to Jobs and Creativity is smart because Creativity was the topic of the first episode of the web series and Jobs was the topic of the first episode of the TV series.
I love this interpretation! I never even thought of that!
@@TrueBruceTube didnt even think of that! good tie in
yeah thats about right lmao
I think every dhmis episode name are connected!
I always interpreted the Friendship episode to be more about toxic positivity and bullying (even though the episode is called “Friendship”). The “Ok Stop” bits where the w̶o̶r̶m̶ eagle pauses and rewinds the scenes reminds me a lot of those anti-bullying programs we’d be shown in middle school. And the way that the w̶o̶r̶m̶ eagle is butting himself into everyone else’s space is like a toxic positive person who would rather not take sides in a bullying case. It simply results in everyone getting hurt.
Along with how the video used the WebMD like website as symbolism for internet misinformation, I think it more was about how being mentally ill (or ill in general) means very little to most people around you without an official diagnosis (especially with the “my friend has a worm in his brain. Official diagnosis? Worm in his brain” joke.)
I will say with the concept of funerals my great aunt passed away a few years back during COVID and the entire funeral was just her church talking about how devoted she was to God and not anything about her herself. Only her sister got the chance to speak for two minutes. The rest of the 2 hour funeral was the church. This happened with my great grandma too and the same church.
Oh, that's fucked, sorry to hear that mate. Sorry to hear that
At my grandmas funeral her cousin who hadnt even seen her in 5 years came and screamed at my dad about her not leaving money for him
As she was cremated
People suck
That’s really unfortunate they should been able to talk more about her entire life. But to be fair as a religious person our whole identity revolves around God and the church, but we still have to know ourselves and the person God created us as. RIP. ❤️
@@hopeeve522 your whole identity shouldn’t be about god. From what I understand god is the prophet who helps make you and your life better, he guides those who want to be guided but he doesn’t ask for people to make their whole selves about him. Ik being devoted is good and god guides those are devoted to him but he doesn’t make your whole identity him you should be yourself and spread your own kind of love .
thats sad. my mom's church was actually really great, and I'm not religious in the slightest. they knew her really well but it was hard not to, my mother was a huge personality. she was always late and her pastor mentioned it and we all had a great tearful laugh. I'm sorry your aunt didnt get that moment.
I detail I love is in the Jobs episode, when a item is considered a quality product. It is just recycled into another ball and it’s just an infinite loop and just shows how some jobs are just completely meaningless.
An interesting, small detail in Death is that after the one duck kills the other, the one who did the killing animates like Stain did, like claymation, as opposed to the puppeteered look of other duck, so it might be the second time in the show he's killed and replaced.
Plus when they kill that duck, his remains have larvae and worms, that where shown when duck was decomposing inside the coffin teacher
I think the briefcase is a metaphor for the school system, it promises all sorts of wonderful and colourful jobs just for you to be sent straight into a bland colourless place
I wanna be an actor or singer I was actually pretty good at that. Instead I'm a fucking janitor at a casino I'm 18 but it already feels like I can't go after my dreams
@@themangledwither I know your fear. It isn't too late. As the Japanese say, ganbatte !
@@themangledwither 18 is so young, don't lose ur hope ❤
@@christy6296 18 ain't so young in America. Besides America doesn't value any job that isn't either a office job or Manuel labour.
@@themangledwither Imo this comment section is a perfect representation of endless positivity vs reality
The conversation around Death is so true. It is so infuriating when people pretend to care about someone who died. I had a friend who took his own life in high school and so many people took advantage of it. The senior English class was reading a book where a girl dies and it’s implied it was suicide, when the teacher offered those effected to sign their names on a sheet to get the reading waved multiple people who didn’t know/talk to my friend signed it. I don’t even know if any of my friends in that class took up that offer. But we all were seeing people who were acting effected by it while the rest of us were constantly having mental break downs in class. It’s cruel to those actually hurt by the loss to pretend to act better than you are
I don’t understand, maybe they signed it out of respect. When someone dies there is no competition over who is the most sad. Obviously people who know and spend time with someone are much more hurt and are experiencing more grief but that doesn’t mean that someone else can’t be hit unusually hard by someone’s death..there is a nasty personality hiding behind the nice personality. Someone who likes to complain and create problems and act like the problem is everyone and everything but never is because they are fearful and lack confidence and push people away which only creates an issue instead of any kind of connection. What to look at? The problem is the creator likes to fuck with people’s minds because he is crazy and I don’t know why I like it so much because when someone is purposely doing something it is annoying after a while..he’s attaching his fangs to my veins and I’m getting really angry. It’s not me being moody and crazy..it’s because of the disrespect and being treated like nobody and spoken about like a child who is in the room. Just a voice actor? With several voices and everywhere..you want me to feel crazy..Sounds to me like nobody communicates properly or at all..I wonder who causes the lack of communication..goes to so much trouble and takes the extra long way around everything. Always has to have their way ..better off alone I think I’ll watch that
@@theearthlaughs4251 bro what
Ultimately think Lesley was Yellow Guy's mother. The boy died and so she created the DHMIS universe as a way of keeping her son alive.
Same
She didn’t create the universe, there’s a floor above her she’s just a distraction for something much bigger
The thing with that is why would they tormment them?
I think lesley is just another distraction, a more sophisticated version of the teachers meant tk stop the puppets from realising that they are..well.. puppets
@@cthulhluftagn3812 It's pretty strongly implied, in the last episode especially that she's not exactly the one in control. She only has some sort of control over the guys but most likely not the teachers. She's suffering as much as they are.
Also, I'm sure they are all vaguely aware of what's going on, just choose not to think about it too much for their own sake. They've already gone a bit mad from being trapped for so long.
@@Itariatan exactly, everytime the puppets get to curious anout how the world works or try to escape someone pops up to distract them, lesley is simply the most advanced version we see having control over the setting to a degree.
I think she was built with the express function of resseting things to the start whenever they get out of controll, her language implies that even this event of yellow meeting her has repeated several times over.
the friendship episode is one of my favorites personally. It's the only time all the characters at once fight back against the teacher and I think its notable that they really only questioned their friendship once warren started saying it was bad and were very defensive of them not being bad friends (I've also seen some theories that the bleeps were also done by Warren like how he kept pausing time and superimposing his mouth over their conversation which is a theory i like). I think its one of those "hey we can jokingly call each other names but if you try it we'll kill you" And I do think the credits audio of them all beating each other up is part of that too. That does not discredit them being friends imo.
thinking about the briefcase guy in context of the UK where the creators are from, we have this thing called the job centre which is supposed to be how people recieve unemployment benefits and to support people getting into work. the job centre is well known for being pretty useless though, they will restrict benefits for stupid reasons and you have to prove you're looking for a job to recieve help. my mum was on jobseekers allowance for a while, and when she found a job that she had to have 3 weeks unpaid training for, they cut her off because she wasn't actively looking for a job anymore. the job centre will absolutely push you into a seeking employment but don't actually give you support with anything. there's a film called I, Daniel Blake about the futility of it
As well, i interpreted his song as how teachers talk about work. They make it out to seem like u can do anything but then they usually try to direct people towards typical jobs and away from the creative subjects
I personally experienced the person not knowing the person who passed with a cat instead of a human. Checkers was an 11 year old calico, in her last days, years of bad teeth my mom ignored caught up to her and I was desperately feeding her watered down pate cat food through a food needle. My mother took her to the vet and instead of paying for the surgery, she put her down without me. Later when her ashes etc. Came in, she wanted to throw them away and I kept them, I've held onto them. Everyday I'd hug her box. And years later, I'd comment she was my cat, and almost like a mother to me. This was commented around my friend. My mom hated this and made sure to comment it was her cat too despite never caring for the cat, even when they were alive. I immediately shut down and screamed at her and to this day, I do not regret it. She had no right downplaying my grief or suddenly have loved the cat just because other people were there. To this day, me and my friend hold a grudge over the whole situation because it was her fault Checkers suffered the way she did and died alone.
i hope you don't take this the wrong way, but your mom sounds evil. i hope you don't put up with her anymore, and i know that it is hard to call out a narcissistic parent. you have strength, and i love and respect you. i've been through some similar things. animals are truly better people than people are, aren't they?
@@soyunperedor oh don't worry, I know she's evil. I hate her. Only reason I dealt with her so long is cuz she's the better of 2 evils. My cats are my family and honestly the best thing to exist, each one of them. A human can't compare.
@@KhimeraV.678 this sounds like the origin story for the infamous Villain "The Cat Lady".
u got me cryin in da club rn.
On a real note, I'm sorry you had to go through this! Even with pets, its extremely bothersome when people try to downplay or "one up" others when we are just grieving. I hope more people come to understand in the coming future.
@@KhimeraV.678 i agree, no human can compare. i had a german shepherd, and she saved my life when i was living with my dad and step-mom. hate is a strong word, but i know where you're coming from. an animal will sit and listen to you, and they know when you're hurting, and they'll try to help you. i hope you have a good support system, and i hope you get out of that situation soon. ever since i got out of mine, i've discovered strength i never knew i had, and i hope you feel the same. love, your friendly neighborhood trans boi
53:38 which is why my first out of school therapist googling “symptoms of depression” right in front of me makes me glad I have a new therapist.
Wetting the bed/self is actually a common sign of childhood abuse.
It seems (might be reading too much into it) That the father is at the very least negligent and the grandmother is the matriarch
Only when it's regressive, as in an 11 year old who hasn't had any toileting issues for several years, who starts wetting the bed out of nowhere. That's provided that nothing can be found on a physical workup, and there are no obvious major stressors such as moving or divorce. Statistically speaking, the majority of cases are the result of some other underlying disease or physical pathology.
@Kirsten Marie oh course, I didn't mean to imply that childhood issues with wetting the bed was only caused by abuse. It can be caused by medical issues like you said and stressed, too. I just thought bc the episode was a metaphor for abuse that I should point out a common sign for it
@@Observer_Decay remember the father was under there bed when they were going to sleep
@@dpducks2723 Definitely very creepy as well
the death episode resonates deeply within me, i lost my father very suddenly and i acted just like red guy, i didnt react, i was cold and unfeeling towards all people around me, i was angry and confused and i flet out refused to believe he was gone even when we put his ashes into the wall a full year later. the day before the funeral my house was full of people who "felt really bad for me and who miss him so much" even people who i never met before, even people who i knowmy dad disliked. then staying up at night thinking about the afterlife, is he just gone or is he really out there still doing things he enjoys. Death is hands down the best ive depiction of the grieving progress i have ever seen.
also i dont know if someone mentioned it already but incontinence in children and bedwetting in both adults and children are common stress responses that stem from a kind of abuse (usually sexual) since the twins defiantly dont have the best homelife it could be a nod to that!
I personally like episode 4. I do see why people don’t like it but I think it’s because the character of Warren the (eagle) worm was done a little too well.
I'm with you that DHMIS is best appreciated as darkly comic commentary instead of some "lore" puzzle that must be solved & has one singular serious answer. The reactions to the Friendship episode & people being disappointed that a deliberately unlikable character was unlikable because they aren't looking at thematically WHY Warren is unlikable kinda illustrates the dangers in thinking that is HAS to have some great overarching narrative. That or they were disappointed that they couldn't turn him into a quirky Tumblr Sexyman like they did with the clock from the original series.
Oh they could easily turn him into a tumblr sexyman. Have you seen the Tumblr sexymen? I shudder at what they would turn a worm man into. Oh God why.
i'm sure they'll find a way
they can. they absolutely can. i have Seen Things.
I kinda like the Friendship episode and think it gets a bit underrated, even if it isn't my favorite. Each episode does have a satirical layer as well that can be taken pretty close to face value, for example the 'Jobs' episode certainly does make fun of some familiar work "tropes". But, I wouldn't underestimate the overarching "lore" puzzle aspect - the allegorical aspect that runs across all the episodes: I think there's something potent, clever, and darkly humorous going on in there on a whole different level which gets echoed and repeated in all the TV episodes, hinting that there's more than just surface gags at play with those "teachers" and the puppets and their relationship with each other: it looks quite a bit different when you take some of the weird "throw-away" lines that various characters make more seriously, such as the one where the Briefcase in 'Jobs' claims that doing your 'job' can make you feel like an 'ANGEL', or the answers the Table Lamp gives Yellow Guy in 'Death' when Yellow Guy wonders what happens when we die....
Which might put our poor, bitter, shallow, lonely, hypocritical, and annoying self-help "guru" Warren the WormEAGLE! into a whole different light, on a subsequent viewings!
And that 'Friends' episode already takes on and entirely different, darkly humorous meaning at the more direct, satirical level when you realize it's mainly about what went wrong with the aborted "Wakey Wakey" pilot.... "We've all got a worm in our brain..." indeed!
I love seeing the whole series as a built up to some major lore drop on us, and then at the end everything is thrown away, but not in terms of “get fooled, we will never reveal it to you!” but instead, as a “there is no plot, be creative” which is basically the whole reason dhmis existis to begin with. this show is amazing and I love seeing everyone’s theories, analysis, and just reaction of it, because it is a beautiful art that I fully believe was meant to be like a coloring book, they give you the content, you just “color” however you want it
Duck gets replaced an awful lot but he always gets replaced with an identical Duck. If you follow the theory about the symbols on the cover of Yellow Guy's book, the symbol under Ducks "name" looks like a mirrored 2. The number 2 is announced as "One little duck" in bingo calling. When Leslie opens her drawer for another Duck doll, the only dolls in the drawer are Ducks. Duck is also the character that often see's the problem in whats going on in the episode or generally doesn't want to be a part of it.
Duck is the persona of one of the actors or animators on the show. A relatively important job on the "show" but, not one where you are given a whole lot of creative control. As such, he often spots issues & despite his protestations, very little is ever done. More often than not, he is totally ignored. Duck gets replaced in the same manner a vocal artist or cartoonist would - with someone who can do exactly the same thing as the last person. Same voice/animation style so there is no defined change to either the show or the character. Yellow Guy also describes him as "whiney" which might be an indicator that the vocal artists/animators often have criticisms of the show. Duck (artist) might well be exchanged for another Duck every episode but it is always essentially the exact same Duck (voice/animation style).
So, Red Guy is the reason the show exists (concept), Yellow Guy is the reason it hasn't ended yet (personal connection), Duck is the reason nothing changes (refusing to acknowledge constructive criticism)
It’s kinda ironic how, if Leslie did lose her son and is teaching them lessons, then episode 2 hits in a completely different way.
This is like the 9th or 10th hour+ breakdown of DHMIS I’ve watched, not to mention how many times I’ve rewatched season 1. The grip this show has on me is unreal.
30:56 not saying this is how it should be interpreted but I always got a very weird vibe from the family in this episode especially considering the boy wets himself and then in the bunk bed scene they wet themselves again, and consistently wetting oneself or having little to no bladder control can be a sign of sexual abuse in children. While this can be an indicator of sexual abuse it may also just have been for shits and giggles/not meant to be taken seriously. I wet the bed until I was about 10 and I was never abused by my parents, and that can be the case in plenty of kids. Point being; take what I’ve said with a grain of salt. I think it could just be an interesting bit for a theory considering how weirdly the family treats each other.
TLDR: potential CSA themes, I could also just be completely wrong though
Edit: with the mother not in the picture, it’s possible that perhaps she was the one to abuse the children, and the father was the one to take custody, which is why they struggle to consider themselves a true family, and that they’re looking for someone new to take the role of the mother. Plus, “every family should have secrets?”? Yeah, sounds like abuse to me.
Even with duck taking the bread child, and Roy showing up at the end, it feels like familial abuse is a large theme in this episode, even if it doesn’t necessarily relate to CSA. it could also be verbal/physical.
Im really glad more people are talking about why they enjoy/how dhmis made them feel this time around as apposed to solely trying to theorise on a potential plot and time line. Some of those videos (although enjoyable) usually bum me out because they build theories on misheard quotes or try to recreate the media theory.Your video and Patricia Taxxons video, are breaths of fresh air when it comes to perspective on dhmis
it's most likely because the web-series was only thrown around the internet form's who were interested, the main one was theorist's who only cared about getting THE solution.
but the tv series got to more audiences and thus got to more circles who didn't care about getting THE solution, also helping was that it has more to it than the web-series did such as a higher focus on commentary, comedy & etc.
I have actually have experienced one of those fake mourners type situations, it was at my grandmother funeral, her daughter wanted so desperately for people to go that she held a giveaway after the burial. A. Giveaway. Instead of a small funeral, where the people who actually cared came, she held a big extravaganza to give away my grandmothers stuff, people were literally outside the funeral, they acted like vultures. So me, my mother and my siblings to leave. Haven’t seen those people since.
this might be silly, but what made me decide to watch this video is that i could see you hadn't written off or skipped over ep4, it really bothered me seeing other creators do it, and made me feel like they weren't really willing to see the show on its own terms, so, kudos.
Hi! First I wanna say, great video! I can tell you put a lot of hard work into this!
Second. I really appreciate that during the 'Death' episode segment you didn't portray Red as either emotionless or uncaring entirely. I've seen a lot of people use that episode of proof that Red doesn't care for the other two, but grief is different for everyone. I'm saying this cuz I see a lot of myself in his reaction. Recently my family went through the death of a family member and the death of a beloved pet on the same day. It's difficult to really understand everything I feel, or feel anything about it at all. It makes me come off as uncaring sometimes, but that doesn't mean I don't care. I think thats probably why I related more to Red in that episode, even after molding Edward Stains the Forever Boy INTO a new duck. I think maybe that's meant to be his own way of grieving
Last bit, t I wanted to say I'm not sure if you're right about the last episode. I think you got the concept right , but I dont think that the creators are giving us the middle finger. I could be wrong obviously! But it felt more like teasing! A friendly jab at all of us about our theories and such, a little tease about how we almost had the 'answers'. They could be annoyed about us and how we veiw the series, but im just not convinced. After all, I think they want us to be creative! And theorizing and putting things together is being creative with the little details they put in! So, I don't think it was meant to be mean, just a bit of light ribbing kshsj.
I did really enjoy the video! Looking forward to seeing more ! Sorry if I accidentally left in typos im. Dyslexic lol
The balls the original creators have are just incredible. They basically made three different series. They just happen to have the three different core characters starring in the three different series.
How so?
I love this
Another part of the reason why the Clayhill plot was abandoned was due to the company it was created with, and therefore the copyright. The original Wakey Wakey trailer, and thus Clayhill, was produced by Becky, Joe and Blink Industries, which are still working on the current released show, however it was also created by Conaco and Super Deluxe, which are under Turner, and as of April 2022, all their assets were owned by Warner Bros Discovery. This meant that in order for the show to be released, they would now have to go through Warner Bros, who is probably more likely to want to tone down the political statements being made in the show. I believe this was the 'unexpected detour' that is mentioned in interviews, as whilst they don't actively want to say they scrapped their show with Warner Bros, they also did use it as a way to be more vocal about the issues we're facing, taking a more broad aspect to things such as death and family, instead of a show specifically about surveillance and power dynamics. A channel on youtube has spoken about how they've had videos copyright claimed and taken down by Warner Bros for showing the original pilot, so it would make sense that Clayhill is now an entity owned by Warner Bros and can't be used, or characters such as the key, who seemed to be a key (pun intended) character in the plot, cannot be used due to the copyright law of not being owned by Becky, Joe or Blink Industries anymore.
"tone down"
47:01 that's... not a dog
I think the most telling line in the song is "you can be anything you want to do" instead of anything you want to be because you are defined by what you do (your job) not who you are. You become your job.
My sister wanted to be a musical artist, maybe an actress, singer, dancer etc.
She has passion for music.
But of course our parents didn't support that idea cause "making music is a risky job" basically they compared it to crypto. Their other argument was that the musical schools were either too far away from home or too expensive.
Needless to say, she ended up being a retail worker.
I feared parents or everyone would laugh at my dream too, plus i was aware i wasn't actively trying to achieve that dream and don't really have the competence to do it so it's not a suprise i'm far from achieving it.
I relate to Red Guy not wanting to do anything. Or Yellow Guy playing along, mindlessly following orders and also Duck not fitting within the workplace cause of his ego and ambitions.
In school i grew up being like Yellow, which i would summarise as just doing orders and never doing something i'm not told to do.
Then when i was asked "hey, you're so close to graduate, what are you planning to do next?" I didn't knew what to say. I'd go "yeah i haven't figured it out yet hahah"
And i kept procrastinating instead of searching for what career i wanted to study for, i really had no idea where to even start at. Then i went to a vocational school and chose one of the first options thrown at me which i quite regret. "Fitter of... something something, construction, something something, finishing works" it's a long name of a job that i don't even wanna learn. So i'm a kind of a construction worker and we wear the same exact kind of safety vests and helmets.
I tried to "fit in" and do what i was told but i had no idea what was going on and would usually just do the dirty work of cleaning the place instead of doing my job, this naturally resulted in me not learning a single thing. It was all a combination of the workers not caring or knowing how to teach the job to us newbies and most importantly me not really caring about the job. At some point i just gave up on trying to "learn" anything at all and decided to spend those three years here, then finally leave this prison". (I'm currently in the third year btw...)
But... What would happen after? Well, i'm still alive so the story isn't over. I have some plans ig. There's still a grain of hope for me or for you.
This is was way too long and the point of this comment was me ranting about workplace and praising how accurate the Jobs Episode is, but now i just want to say i relate, made a mistake and just want to warn whoever would read this to learn from this and don't do the same mistake.
"Living in the present" is a neat philosophy but not necessarly when you're at such age where your choices will make a huge impact on your future.
Don't rely that much on the help from schools cause unless you'll try real hard, they rarely help.
Keep your primary goals fairly low, so these goals are realistic, and push on to achieve them even if it means you'll have to go out of your comfort zone. And make your plans quickly too cause as Tony the clock said "eventually everyone runs out of time".
this show is literally a masterpiece already, if they don't make a season 2 i'll be sad forever
give it another 6 years
@@thejuiceking2219 ill wait :3
@@thejuiceking2219 i don't think it would take that long, now they at least have laid the groundwork of the series, which is something that's taken them a while to figure out. There has also been a pandemic during the making of season 1 so i'm sure it got pushed back for at least 2 years for that
Warren reminds me of a former creepy friend and I don't understand why the fandom likes him 😃

I don’t like him in the sense that he’s a good person, I just find him highly amusing. This is coming from someone who’s had a few very toxic friends
@@bigpapamagoo8696 that's a mood, I'll admit that I kind of like Warren because it's fun to think of tormenting an arsehole

The irony of the family sized chips is hilarious if you know how little family sized meals can actually feed a family, thats why they only get 2 chips.
Let me start by saying great video! I am depressed and loved the original series; talking about "Jobs" I am currently unemployed and it causes me so much stress money wise and makes my depression worse thinking about how I feel worthless and useless without a job. I love how the briefcase abandons them after filling their ideas with joys of a job and how you can do anything even though the depressing reality is that I know I'll be working these factory/retail/fast food jobs that kind of suck.
No one mentions this but I'm pretty sure episode 5 happens after episode 6, since we see references to things introduced in ep 6, such as the monologe in the intro, the shredder sticker in duck's window, "normal" yellow guy in the window. my prediction is that season 2, if there is one, will pick up from the end of episode 5
46:56 that's not a dog THAT'S THE BLACK GIRL. Lmao I'm dead 💀
The grandma in Family being the one to move everyone to the next subject reminds me of my own Grandma and how controlling she is, always seeming to want everyone to do what she wants them to do when she wants them to do it. It weirdly hits home for me and makes me get quite mad…
Red guy in the knowledge scene is basically what I say in every movie when someone is like are they gonna survive and I’m like yeah it’s a movie the heroes will win obviously it’s not spoilers it’s just what happens in these movies
I only thought his rant at the beginning of episode 5 could possibly refer to episode 6, but the fact that you're saying it could refer to episode 4 it's kind of blowing my mind.

Iv experienced the people showing up at a funeral not knowing the person, it is one of the most infuriating things ever. I have an Aunt and Uncle that aren’t blood family, my Uncle died and a funeral was held, many people that my parents and I didn’t recognise appeared. It pissed me off so fucking much when some approached my Aunt and tried to get on her good side by buttering her up to get shit out of her, get money, the few precious items she had, my parents and I immediately took her from the funeral before anyone could try anything further
I feel an absolute sense of disgust towards those people, like, my Aunt’s husband just fucking died, I may not be her blood family but she’s the only family beside my parents that I have and you’re coming in here, acting like you care in order to abuse of this older women

i suppose it is because is something alot of people deal with but find it really hard to identify or to even get out of, i've dealt wilth people like warren. while in this episode warren's unlikeness is a pretty obvious thing to prove a point, in real life it usually takes time and effort to make it stop. in this episode Warren literally can't recognizes he is the problem to fix so he can actually have friends who would actually like to go on a lunch instead of being forcedd so that he shuts up
toxic friendships are hard to break since most of them start as a nice thing and by the time you realize the conections is pretty much stablished. most of times they leave insecurities or scars due to the closeness that used to be there
BUT WHAT ABOUT MY SHREDDER
I will never understand how people don‘t like the Friendship episode. as someone who is dealing with a narcissistic friend for many years already, this episode, especially the brain friends segments, is really relatable. Someone invading your personal space and even making your accomplishments about them is so exhausting and it has put me down so many times before. So, this episode really spoke for me. For anyone else dealing with a friendship like this, I hope you‘ll get out of it.
46:58 is a brown child, not a dog :|
LMAOOO
Don’t hug me I’m scared was my favorite growing up along with salad fingers, happy tree friends, and the show about the unicorns 😂😂😂 when I heard about the show I ran and told my husband and I made him dive into it 😂😂😂
YES! I absolutely love the various messages throughout the show but a bulk of the online discourse on the full show is the hidden lore. So nice hearing a simple surface level breakdown of the show.
I just stumbled upon this and my aunt passed recently from being murdered by someone else. Some peole were just pretending to care and I got so pissed
I like the interpretation now that Lesley is the creator. She says you not my real son. I think that means that this show was supposed to be completely different like the pilot. It’s a deviated version because it was too similar to another ip. The creators yelling at yellow guy, he isn’t their real son. Meaning they had to change course.
And you remind me that the transport guy died but came back to life. The characters in dhmis have a strange relationship with death
Your analysis of episode 6 and the overall point of the show is probably the best dhmis analysis I’ve seen! Great work mate
Great interpretation of DHMIS! I’ve been thinking along the same lines as well. I see the series as having multiple interpretations depending on how you take certain scenarios and scenes. I enjoy the literal, lore centered, and symbolic versions. The literal is just, “OoOoOoOoOo horror show with some comedy.” It’s good to just watch the show and laugh when the jokes come up. The lord centered is about Leslie and the idea that Yellow Guy is her dead son that she has recreated. Generally this thinking is pretty well demonstrated by MatPat/Film Theory. Still a good interpretation. Then the symbolism which is the majority of your video. I LOVE seeing people being able to relate to the situations and translate it to real life. Like how jobs aren’t the idealized version we’re told as kids, grieving is complex and different for everyone, found families are just as valid and blood relatives don’t automatically make for a healthy family, etc. I think all of these interpretations are amazing with their own flaws and evidence, but I like all of them just the same.
Not gonna lie, I'm so glad you made this video. I've watched all the DHMIS vids and I really enjoy your content
This is such a good and complete analysis. Thank you!
57:38 I think it’s referring to what happens to him in ep 6.
love your take. subscribed
Whats kinda funny is that when they ask if they have seen a breif case when they first get stuck in the workplace one of them points to the medical case and they say that he isnt that but turns out he was
Can't watch it right now but I will at least comment to help with the algorithm.

The series was awesome, I remember seeing the wakey wakey teaser and looking everywhere for the leaks, and when the new trailer released, I was pleased. Although I perfer the muted look of the web series.
14:06 I don't think Duck was killed, I think he was quite literally swallowed by the hound (company) and regurgitated as a 'proper' worker. he got chewed up until he gave up and morphed into what they want him to be. I understand why the theory of replacement Duck is so popular, it makes a lot of sense in the narrative, but I feel like this specific moment is not it.
it's the saliva that Duck is covered in that does it for me.
30:55 a sudden onset of bedwetting in a child that is old enough to control their bladder and has shown the ability to do so (which they look old enough for) is a possible indicator of child abuse
episode 4 is weirdly underrated. I think it might be my second favourite of the season. there is a very interesting theory about the censored part of what the Red Guy said - that it actually wasn't so bad but the worm in Yellow Guy's ear told him that it is that bad, and I really like that approach because it allows me to dunk on Warren a little bit more. I also really like how they touched on dissociating/daydreaming, and how it is a place of peace and joy and - as Yellow Guy gets deeper - simplistic relief, but even that can be desecrated. this episode is relatable to me on many, many levels
also Red Guy screaming made me choke on my drink the first time I saw it
I don't personally think the Care Hound incident should be counted as one of Duck's deaths. I think that the Care Hound just threw up Duck after a while, essentially scaring Duck into working. On an allegorical level, it could be interpreted as employeers threatening to fire their employees instead of encouraging them with a monetary reward.
Is there a possibility of a season 2 of dhmis? I hadn’t considered that before, but I’d love to see what the team would come up with!
Love your videos!
If you watch the briefcase when he disappears into the closet he’s flipping them off 😂😂😂
O my god yes another video
I LOVE how much effort you put into all your videos! ❤ keep up the amazing work man!
I worked at an Amazon warehouse. I agree that it very taxing on you mentally and physically. I had to leave for my own mental health. They treat you like a robot and pretty much only have snack foods for you to get for your lunch. I'm hoping my UA-cam channel takes off so I never have to go back there. I was in customer service before that as well and that was just as bad. I was so tired of being mistreated and underpaid. 😭
I always thought that Yellow Guy’s ramble at Transport’s intro was foreshadowing the events of the immediate next episode
Bro this is scary and super hilarious
23:22 I’ve experienced this I remember going to funerals of people I knew and there were so many people i didn’t know my cousins funeral for example
nice work
I do enjoy the theories on the lore of the episodes, it's part of the fun, but I also love the analysis vids talking about what the actual meaning of the episodes are/what they mean in regards to real world issues, as that was part of the charm of the original series. I can understand why the creators are a little bothered that people ONLY focus on the lore, even if they clearly put a lot of effort into that part too. Overall, it's a brilliant show in many ways, both the original and the TV-show.
I think some of these are just jokes. But I like the in depth analysis. Very well done. Also, I never noticed the discrepancies in Warren's slideshow. Wow.
A similar thing (to the funeral) happened with my best friends mom, I remember going to her funeral just for my bf and remember them commenting on how many people showed up that their mom hadn't seen in years. A pastor spoke when she wasn't even Christian, they even used a photo from when she was much younger.
nice vid dude
At 46:59 he points out the "dog", that is actually a girl shown earlier in the slideshow that just has darker skin
i'm terrified of it, so i'm here for the meaning of it and trying to not be afraid of it
Personally, I feel like you are reaaally overthinking a lot of stuff in this series. However, it's still a very entertaining video
Idk why,but the scene with duck and the bread reminds me of a scene from notoriously disturbing movie,"the house that jack built "
i had a dream about this video before watching it and it was you roleplaying as homer simpson and setting your house on fire
Love this show
Personally I've never had that happen to me at a funeral but I've done some when I was a baby one of my relatives died I was past around like a drug for people who were sad because I was just a bundle of pure joy also was told I was tocking to him like I was seeing a good sprit.
On the episode "death", the organs are removed so the body won't literally burst from the decomposing organs, which rot the quickest. It's a standard thing to do during preparation of the body
I have seen all the youtube videos, and only the first 3 episodes, they were disturbing but rreally, enjoyable.
39:53 i am actually the oldest of three kids but i’ve always felt like the middle child because of the weird age, which my family describes mature teenager, and my siblings are a lot younger than me so i really relate to red guy being the black sheep or middle child figure
Me being the middle kid who was exposed to terrifying things on youtube: hello. :)
34:40 or that when they tell you that it's "normal for a family to have problems like yours, every family is like that", while its common, it should not be the norm
Did anyone else notice that the license plate on the car was 'LE5L3Y' aka Lesley?
When you don't have to imagine cause it actually happened to you and you are still very angry about it :'-)
26:40 "presumably"
at the end of the family episode, they open the packet with only two things in it, and they're on every side except the duck, mabye this is re-emphasizing either the fact that duck isnt the real thing or that duck doesn't have family
56:25 "There was another me"
He's not talking about episode 4 at all. Just episode six.
Thank you so much for explaining this! Unfortunately I didn’t get a lot of the meaning I love the show more than I did before now
I'm not sure you emphasized enough on the last episode what the original teacher elect Tracy was trying to teach us.
it feels different knowing about becky and joe, get irritated by fans that is slow, while looking at lesley blowing the dust at yellow guy's face, this and all that in all over the place
Back to watch
speaking of amazon and the first ad i get is from amazon fresh 😭
I don't think the creators have the right to feel irritated with the fans. It's human nature to want to unravel a mystery, and the mystery of whatever's going on in DHMIS is part of the fun of watching it. Yes, the comedy and satire are all more than welcome, but there's no need to get uppity just because some people like to play Sherlock Holmes.
I don't think any of what we learned last episode will be followed through on, and I don't think we'll see a second season of the show
