Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (often abbreviated as DHMIS) is a British surrealist musical comedy horror web series created by Becky Sloan and Joe Pelling from THIS IS IT Collective. It stars three puppets: Red Guy, Yellow Guy, and Duck. The series is about the three friends being educated about life's most important lessons (creativity and time for example). The episodes are notorious for their usual gore, and mostly famous for the Teachers, and notable quotes including one that disparages the color green.
