Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared is a series of short viral videos created by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling since 2011 consisting of singing and talking puppets. It was originally released through the artists’ website, beckyandjoes.com and picked up on several other platforms later like YouTube.[1][2] The videos parody children's television shows such as Sesame Street by ironically juxtaposing puppetry and musical numbers against psychedelic content and disturbing imagery. Thus far, four episodes have been released, taking on the topics of creativity, time, love, and technology Three more films are in production as of Jan 2015.

I think it's a brilliant commentary on what happens when computers are introduced into a normal, human experience. Instead of discussing the original impetus of the entire experience, they wind up looking at charts, fashion stuff, and pretty much anything else besides the things that they should be looking at to further the conversation/game.

I'm reminded of all the times when I see groups of people out at a social function whether it's a dinner, sporting event, or meeting and people are so interested in their phone, nothing of substance is discussed and interpersonal relationships are strewn aside to continue pouring all their humanity into a digital world.

It was really insightful, and that a subject like that can be completely covered by a few puppets is really a credit to the creators of the series. I'll check the rest of the videos out later.














Just kidding, that shite is retardit.
