Ep. 71: "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared," 2011

Feb 11, 2021

There's always time for a song for the Broadway Babies! This week, we're going to keep looking at the wild AF hellscape corner of the internet with another fever-dream musical, the British children's show-surreal-horror-satire-web series "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared." So today, let's go on a journey and talk about about the ups and downs of learning to get creative while also learning to live in a society.

Show Notes

• A couple theories about children and the media (like bringing in the BBC licensing and ITV being created)
• Another video theory about the dreaming Red Guy refusing to grow up even though he’s tired of being a kid (and the other two are his imaginary puppet friends)
• Roy having some choice words for his son.
• An update on the DHMIS TV show — is it still happening?
