Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared

To those who want to know what Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared is about, allow me to explain. It is a webisode series by This Is It, a British group who create unique films like Bad Things That Could Happen. It centers on three puppets, a red hairy creature, a green duck, and a yellow puppet who always get these random teachers who teach, actually sing, a lesson.

The first time you see this, you'd think that this is a kid's show, but it is far from it. It is either 1:a parody about teachers who can't teach, 2: a show so horrific, it makes citizens of Wonderland as though they are sane people who are complete saints, or 3: a show that could, and this is my theory, very well be an allegory of how life was like in Germany during Cold War, and let me tell you, it was anything but good.

To survive this colorful world of Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared, you must follow these rules....

1: Do not show anyone who is under the age of 16-18 this heinous realm.

2: If you watch any episode that contains food, do not eat close to or right after watching the episode. It is nauseating.

3: If you are still in High school/College, and have a teacher with a similar profession as one character, you must not watch the episode before class because then it will be very awkward.

4: Lastly but not least, don't kill yourself...or better yet, if you are tempted to go insane, go to a therapist.

And remember kids, to stay in school!...OR NOT...
Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared is not something to take lightly, that it should not be shown to little kids.

Student #1: God, I am in trouble! I just watched the second episode of Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared, and I have a History class to go to.
Student #2: That wasn't the episode with the creepy yelling clock, was it?
Student #1: Yes.

Student #2: Oh man...

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
