Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 5 is the 5th episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. In this episode, the Bird Puppet and the Yellow Puppet learn about food, while the Red Puppet is missing. This episode was released October 14th, 2015.
Plot
The episode opens with a drawing on the fridge, depicting Red Guy, Yellow Guy and Duck Guy sitting at a desk smiling with a calendar showing June 19 on the wall (the "get creative" letters from the first episode can also be seen on the fridge). We see the Duck Guy and Yellow Guy sitting in a kitchen (possibly Roy's, as seen on the label of several items). The Red Guy is strangely missing. The two inspect their surrounding, and the Yellow Guy comments that something is different. The Duck Guy agrees that something is missing and looks at the painting again, the painting seems normal at first, but upon taking a second look, it changes: Red Guy is depicted standing outside the window, and the Duck Guy appears dead.
Lyrics
Yellow Guy: Hmm. Something's different.
Duck Guy: Hmm. Something's missing.
Yellow Guy: Is it... this guy?
Bread Loaf: Fish and eggs! Steak and beef! Grapes and eggs! Steak! Eggs!
Spinach Can: Are you hungry? You look to be a bit hungry!
Yellow Guy: No.
Spinach Can: Doot doot doot doot doot. Lots of people get hungry.
Steak: That's your body. Hungry comes from your body!
Duck Guy: Get off of me!
Steak: But your body, it must-a have-ta' be healthy!
Spinach Can: What's that? A tasty snack! You don't wanna go and eat a snack like that!
Steak: Greedy! To eat all that! You'll end up with your teeth all grey!
Spinach Can: Doot doot dood doot doot!
Spinach Can and Steak: Doot doot doot doot doot to be healthy!
Yellow Guy: Food is talking!
*Steak starts to do a tapdance routine*
Duck Guy: What?
Steak: Let's get healthy now!
*The phone rings. Duck Guy picks it up.*
Duck Guy: Hello?
*On the other side is himself in a dark surgery room. The word "hello" echoes. He stares at the TV to see the song continue.*
Steak: You see, the body is like a special house! With blood, hair, and organs in the different rooms! Oh look, there's Mr. Bladder in the basement! *laughs a little*
Duck Guy: What?
Steak: Now food comes in through the chimney, mouth, and goes from room to room, greeting the different organs!
Yellow Guy: Hello!
Steak: Now, the good healthy food is very nice and polite to the organs, and so is invited to stay for the party!
Steak and Spinach Can: Yay!
Steak: But the bad, not healthy foods, are very rude, and must leave through the cap flap!
Spinach Can: Rude!
Duck Guy: That doesn't make sens-
Spinach Can: Doot doot doot doot doot!
Spinach Can and Steak: Doot doot doot doot doot to be healthy!
*The phone rings again. Duck Guy picks it up again, but it just cuts back to the kitchen.*
Duck Guy: Hello?
Spinach Can: What's that? A tasty snack! You don't wanna go and eat a snack like that!
Steak: Greedy! To eat all that! You'll end up with your gums all grey!
Duck Guy: Yeah, but.... something's wrong...
Spinach Can: Exactly! How do we know which foods are the healthy ones to eat!
Steak: Well, that's easy!
Duck Guy: Ehh...
Steak: The food groups can easily be sorted using this simple health shape! Choosing normal, plain-looking foods like bread, cream, white sauce, and aspic keep the body ticking over just nicely! Isn't that right?
Body Model: *lets out happy groan*
Duck Guy: Ehh... I need to go!
Spinach Can: But wait! What's this?
Steak: Fancy, show-offy foods like cooked meats, fruit salad, soil foods and yolk!
Spinach Can: Ugh!
Steak: These foods will clog up the body with unnecessary detail! *pushes body model off table and steps on it* Oh no, look! It is all broken and on the floor!
Body Model: *groans*
Fridge: Everything tastes great! Maybe we should wait!
Duck Guy: No!
Fridge: Before we put it on the plate!
Duck Guy: Enough!
Fridge: Or it could be too late!
Duck Guy: I don't wanna do this anymore!
*Duck Guy wakes back up in the hospital, with a large, yellow can in front of him. Duck Guy is now alone with the Steak Spinach Can, and Fridge.*
Spinach Can: What's that? A pizza slice? You're better off with plain white sauce!
Steak: What's that? Plain white sauce? Plain white sauce makes your teeth go grey!
Fridge: Doesn't matter! Just throw it away! Why not try something else on your tray?
*Fridge points to a microwave, with Duck Guy being cooked in a can.*
Steak: Oh, what's that? A waffley pie? But you're gonna end up sad inside!
Spinach Can: Ugh, sad inside?
*Scene cuts back to the hospital. The song continues on the TV, but it focuses on the large yellow can, which starts eating Duck Guy's organs.*
Fridge: Well, everyone has their teeth go grey! Just eat yeast and it will go away!
Steak: But how much have you had today? Too much yeast makes your teeth go grey!
*Briefly cuts back to the hospital, where the large can continues to eat Duck Guy's organs.*
Spinach Can: How about some onion paste! Looks like fun! Have a taste!
Steak: That wasn't onion paste! You shouldn't eat food from a stranger's plate! Stranger's plate! Stranger's plate! Stranger's plate! Stranger's plate! Stranger's plate!
Steak and Spinach Can: Stranger's plate! Stranger's plate! Stranger's plate! (continues screaming "Stranger's plate" as what they are saying becomes more indecipherable)
*While the Steak and Spinach Can shout stranger's plate, a few more hospital sequences are shown, the first showing the large can eating a little more, and the second with a large yellow leaving to be replaced with another one. As well as this, Yellow Guy's spaghetti briefly morphs into red guy's face. Yellow Guy looks deep into his spaghetti and Duck Guy's head is heard screaming once more. It zooms out to show a steak on Yellow Guy's plate.*
Steak: Stranger's plate.
*Cuts back to hospital, with the large can holding a pie made of Duck Guy. A ding is heard as confetti falls. It then shows Yellow Guy, now obese, with many cans of Duck Guy in front of him, with a little bit in his mouth. The phone rings once more.*
