00:01:07,995 --> 00:01:09,877
- That was really trippy.

29
00:01:09,877 --> 00:01:11,954
- I thought it lived up to the hype.

30
00:01:11,954 --> 00:01:13,423
- Thought it was a foreign commercial

31
00:01:13,423 --> 00:01:15,608
trying to raise awareness
about healthy food.

32
00:01:15,608 --> 00:01:17,443
But I was very wrong.

- Oof... um... the sausage.

35
00:01:21,825 --> 00:01:24,117
The blood sausage was pretty horrific.

36
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:26,647
- The operating table, I'm gonna say,

37
00:01:26,647 --> 00:01:28,514
with the organs, the disembowelment.

38
00:01:28,514 --> 00:01:31,483
- Like, Saving Private Ryan buffet.

39
00:01:31,483 --> 00:01:34,219
- Oh, definitely when the giant
candy-corn-looking thing

40
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:37,448
started pulling the organs
out of the little helpless duck.

41
00:01:37,448 --> 00:01:39,388
For sure, that was when it got--

42
00:01:39,388 --> 00:01:42,116
I mean, I don't know about you,
but that was my favorite part.

43
00:01:42,116 --> 00:01:43,001
- (Finebros) Could you share your thoughts

44
00:01:43,001 --> 00:01:45,397
about the production value
of the video though?

45
00:01:45,397 --> 00:01:46,459
- Looked great.
- Yeah.

46
00:01:46,459 --> 00:01:48,043
- Yeah.
- I'm like...

47
00:01:48,043 --> 00:01:49,979
- A for effort.
- Cap off.

48
00:01:49,979 --> 00:01:51,094
- The production quality,

49
00:01:51,094 --> 00:01:52,947
the production value
on every single episode--

50
00:01:52,947 --> 00:01:55,207
that's only why they've made
five in the last, what,

51
00:01:55,207 --> 00:01:58,323
three years or so, 'cause they put
so much effort in each one.

52
00:01:58,323 --> 00:01:59,449
That one alone had

53
00:01:59,449 --> 00:02:01,996
so much [bleep] going on.

54
00:02:01,996 --> 00:02:03,437
- (Finebros) What do you think this video

55
00:02:03,437 --> 00:02:05,394
might have been trying to say?
- Oh my god.

56
00:02:05,394 --> 00:02:07,455
I think this video is trying to talk about

57
00:02:07,455 --> 00:02:09,349
unsolicited health advice.

58
00:02:09,349 --> 00:02:11,932
- How different foods
break down in the body

59
00:02:11,932 --> 00:02:14,130
and how some are better,

60
00:02:14,130 --> 00:02:15,755
you should eat some other than others?

61
00:02:15,755 --> 00:02:18,025
- Apparently, if you eat fancy foods,

62
00:02:18,025 --> 00:02:22,817
you get stepped on by a T-bone steak.
So that's not good either.

63
00:02:22,817 --> 00:02:25,015
- (Finebros) So the debate remains,
but some people feel

64
00:02:25,015 --> 00:02:27,627
that this whole series
in each episode is a satire

65
00:02:27,627 --> 00:02:29,244
about a different part of our society,

66
00:02:29,244 --> 00:02:32,004
with this one breaking down food
and how it's presented to us.

67
00:02:32,004 --> 00:02:33,481
- Yeah. I mean, I guess I could see that.

68
00:02:33,481 --> 00:02:35,969
- Kinda like how everything--
everything gives you cancer.

69
00:02:35,969 --> 00:02:38,198
Like, the whole scare with
the cellphones a few years back.

70
00:02:38,198 --> 00:02:41,656
- I remember growing up and hearing
just different types of stuff

71
00:02:41,656 --> 00:02:42,749
about eggs all the time.

72
00:02:42,749 --> 00:02:44,188
I wasn't even sure if
I was supposed to eat eggs.

73
00:02:44,188 --> 00:02:45,750
It was like, "Eggs are bad for you,"

74
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:47,417
then, "Eggs are good for you."

75
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:49,115
Then it was like, "Only the
egg whites are good for you

76
00:02:49,115 --> 00:02:50,615
and the egg yolk is bad for you."

77
00:02:50,615 --> 00:02:52,332
And I was like, "Man,
just give me my omelette."

78
00:02:52,332 --> 00:02:55,592
- I love using puppets
in a satirical, adult way--

79
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:57,467
like Avenue Q or anything like that,

80
00:02:57,467 --> 00:02:59,059
'cause puppets are so naturally cute.

81
00:02:59,059 --> 00:03:00,666
And we have the nostalgia with them,

82
00:03:00,666 --> 00:03:02,581
'cause when we see them as kids,
we're like, "Oh, we love it."

83
00:03:02,581 --> 00:03:05,864
And so when they deliver
adult language or adult themes,

84
00:03:05,864 --> 00:03:08,468
it's always so interesting
and cool to see.

85
00:03:08,468 --> 00:03:09,471
- (Finebros) What do
you think about people

86
00:03:09,471 --> 00:03:11,935
that would get this obsessed
over a piece of content that,

87
00:03:11,935 --> 00:03:14,385
even though they don't know
what the creators are going for,

88
00:03:14,385 --> 00:03:16,257
they're all talking about
what it might mean?

89
00:03:16,257 --> 00:03:19,190
- Now that you're saying this,
it makes me want to re-watch it.

90
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:24,814
- As a content creator,
it's fun to leave little in-jokes.

91
00:03:24,814 --> 00:03:26,385
- I'm sure that's just
the highlight of their day,

92
00:03:26,385 --> 00:03:29,512
just getting to read all of the theories
that are coming out now.

93
00:03:29,512 --> 00:03:31,238
- The body chart. If you paused it,

94
00:03:31,238 --> 00:03:33,589
you can even see the mini-phone there,

95
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:35,290
and you can see the spaghetti monster

96
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:36,729
in the window on one of the shots.

97
00:03:36,729 --> 00:03:40,165
They're so dense. There's
so much packed in every shot.

98
00:03:40,165 --> 00:03:42,308
- I've always wanted some book

99
00:03:42,308 --> 00:03:45,278
that is really, really hugely analyzed

100
00:03:45,278 --> 00:03:46,812
in high school literature class.

101
00:03:46,812 --> 00:03:48,860
I've always wanted an author
to come out and be like,

102
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:53,191
"You guys are all crazy.
I just wrote a book to write a book."

103
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:55,149
- (Finebros) So what do
you think about how YouTube

104
00:03:55,149 --> 00:03:57,358
allows for something like this to exist?

105
00:03:57,358 --> 00:03:59,409
'Cause do you think on TV,
you could ever get away with this?

106
00:03:59,409 --> 00:04:03,961
- It's pretty amazing, actually.
This would never be on TV...

107
00:04:03,961 --> 00:04:07,301
or anywhere else, for that matter...

108
00:04:07,301 --> 00:04:08,980
except for on YouTube.

109
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:12,345
- Content doesn't have to be
filtered through a gatekeeper.

110
00:04:12,345 --> 00:04:16,136
The gate's been-- like,
there's so many different gates,

111
00:04:16,136 --> 00:04:17,636
you can just jump the wall now.

112
00:04:17,636 --> 00:04:20,081
Like, the gatekeeper isn't there anymore.

113
00:04:20,081 --> 00:04:21,556
- YouTube, create your own stuff.

114
00:04:21,556 --> 00:04:22,843
That's kind of the beauty of it.

115
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:26,416
But I think there should
maybe be some warnings on them,

116
00:04:26,416 --> 00:04:27,869
'cause imagine a kid saw

117
00:04:27,869 --> 00:04:30,067
some cute little animals on the thumbnail.

118
00:04:30,067 --> 00:04:32,038
And then they're eating each other.

119
00:04:32,038 --> 00:04:33,839
- No, I don't think this would
exist without YouTube.

120
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,808
I really don't. This is
a hard [bleep] pitch for,

121
00:04:36,808 --> 00:04:40,452
"Hey, we want to make
a really weird out-there parody

122
00:04:40,452 --> 00:04:43,660
of Sesame Street. It's gonna be expensive.

123
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:48,266
We need actual puppets.
We need animators, stop-motion, CGI.

124
00:04:48,266 --> 00:04:51,172
And, oh, it's only gonna be
five minutes per episode.

125
00:04:51,172 --> 00:04:54,023
And we only want to make five.
Does that sound good?"

126
00:04:54,023 --> 00:04:54,952
- (Finebros) Are you excited

127
00:04:54,952 --> 00:04:56,419
now that you know about
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

128
00:04:56,419 --> 00:04:58,586
to watch the previous episodes
and wait for new ones?

129
00:04:58,586 --> 00:05:01,117
- I don't think I will ever be revisiting

130
00:05:01,117 --> 00:05:02,270
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.

131
00:05:02,270 --> 00:05:04,878
I think I'll just leave that where it is.

132
00:05:04,878 --> 00:05:07,533
- (Finebros) But wait, hold on. Why?
- Um, you know,

133
00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:09,667
I think I'd rather watch something happy,

134
00:05:09,667 --> 00:05:12,126
where people aren't being eaten.

135
00:05:12,126 --> 00:05:14,511
I really don't enjoy
watching guts, you know?

136
00:05:14,511 --> 00:05:16,514
That wasn't my cup of tea.
