think of this episode?

00:01:06.255 --> 00:01:07.995
- Kind of awful for children.

00:01:07.995 --> 00:01:09.877
- That was really trippy.

00:01:09.877 --> 00:01:11.954
- I thought it lived up to the hype.

00:01:11.954 --> 00:01:13.423
- Thought it was a foreign commercial

00:01:13.423 --> 00:01:15.608
trying to raise awareness
about healthy food.

00:01:15.608 --> 00:01:17.443
But I was very wrong.

00:01:17.443 --> 00:01:18.974
- (Finebros) What was
the strangest part of this one?

00:01:18.974 --> 00:01:21.825
- Oof... um... the sausage.

00:01:21.825 --> 00:01:24.117
The blood sausage was pretty horrific.

00:01:24.117 --> 00:01:26.647
- The operating table, I'm gonna say,

00:01:26.647 --> 00:01:28.514
with the organs, the disembowelment.

00:01:28.514 --> 00:01:31.483
- Like, Saving Private Ryan buffet.

00:01:31.483 --> 00:01:34.219
- Oh, definitely when the giant
candy-corn-looking thing

00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:37.448
started pulling the organs
out of the little helpless duck.

00:01:37.448 --> 00:01:39.388
For sure, that was when it got--

00:01:39.388 --> 00:01:42.116
I mean, I don't know about you,
but that was my favorite part.

00:01:42.116 --> 00:01:43.001
- (Finebros) Could you share your thoughts

00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:45.397
about the production value
of the video though?

00:01:45.397 --> 00:01:46.459
- Looked great.
- Yeah.

00:01:46.459 --> 00:01:48.043
- Yeah.
- I'm like...

00:01:48.043 --> 00:01:49.979
- A for effort.
- Cap off.

00:01:49.979 --> 00:01:51.094
- The production quality,

00:01:51.094 --> 00:01:52.947
the production value
on every single episode--

00:01:52.947 --> 00:01:55.207
that's only why they've made
five in the last, what,

00:01:55.207 --> 00:01:58.323
three years or so, 'cause they put
so much effort in each one.

00:01:58.323 --> 00:01:59.449
That one alone had

00:01:59.449 --> 00:02:01.996
so much [bleep] going on.

00:02:01.996 --> 00:02:03.437
- (Finebros) What do you think this video

00:02:03.437 --> 00:02:05.394
might have been trying to say?
- Oh my god.

00:02:05.394 --> 00:02:07.455
I think this video is trying to talk about

00:02:07.455 --> 00:02:09.349
unsolicited health advice.

00:02:09.349 --> 00:02:11.932
- How different foods
break down in the body

00:02:11.932 --> 00:02:14.130
and how some are better,

00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:15.755
you should eat some other than others?

00:02:15.755 --> 00:02:18.025
- Apparently, if you eat fancy foods,

00:02:18.025 --> 00:02:22.817
you get stepped on by a T-bone steak.
So that's not good either.

00:02:22.817 --> 00:02:25.015
- (Finebros) So the debate remains,
but some people feel

00:02:25.015 --> 00:02:27.627
that this whole series
in each episode is a satire

00:02:27.627 --> 00:02:29.244
about a different part of our society,

00:02:29.244 --> 00:02:32.004
with this one breaking down food
and how it's presented to us.

00:02:32.004 --> 00:02:33.481
- Yeah. I mean, I guess I could see that.

00:02:33.481 --> 00:02:35.969
- Kinda like how everything--
everything gives you cancer.

00:02:35.969 --> 00:02:38.198
Like, the whole scare with
the cellphones a few years back.

00:02:38.198 --> 00:02:41.656
- I remember growing up and hearing
just different types of stuff

00:02:41.656 --> 00:02:42.749
about eggs all the time.

00:02:42.749 --> 00:02:44.188
I wasn't even sure if
I was supposed to eat eggs.

00:02:44.188 --> 00:02:45.750
It was like, "Eggs are bad for you,"

00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:47.417
then, "Eggs are good for you."

00:02:47.417 --> 00:02:49.115
Then it was like, "Only the
egg whites are good for you

00:02:49.115 --> 00:02:50.615
and the egg yolk is bad for you."

00:02:50.615 --> 00:02:52.332
And I was like, "Man,
just give me my omelette."

00:02:52.332 --> 00:02:55.592
- I love using puppets
in a satirical, adult way--

00:02:55.592 --> 00:02:57.467
like Avenue Q or anything like that,

00:02:57.467 --> 00:02:59.059
'cause puppets are so naturally cute.

00:02:59.059 --> 00:03:00.666
And we have the nostalgia with them,

00:03:00.666 --> 00:03:02.581
'cause when we see them as kids,
we're like, "Oh, we love it."

00:03:02.581 --> 00:03:05.864
And so when they deliver
adult language or adult themes,

00:03:05.864 --> 00:03:08.468
it's always so interesting
and cool to see.

00:03:08.468 --> 00:03:09.471
- (Finebros) What do
you think about people

00:03:09.471 --> 00:03:11.935
that would get this obsessed
over a piece of content that,

00:03:11.935 --> 00:03:14.385
even though they don't know
what the creators are going for,

00:03:14.385 --> 00:03:16.257
they're all talking about
what it might mean?

00:03:16.257 --> 00:03:19.190
- Now that you're saying this,
it makes me want to re-watch it.

00:03:19.190 --> 00:03:24.814
- As a content creator,
it's fun to leave little in-jokes.

00:03:24.814 --> 00:03:26.385
- I'm sure that's just
the highlight of their day,

00:03:26.385 --> 00:03:29.512
just getting to read all of the theories
that are coming out now.

00:03:29.512 --> 00:03:31.238
- The body chart. If you paused it,

00:03:31.238 --> 00:03:33.589
you can even see the mini-phone there,

00:03:33.589 --> 00:03:35.290
and you can see the spaghetti monster

00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:36.729
in the window on one of the shots.

00:03:36.729 --> 00:03:40.165
They're so dense. There's
so much packed in every shot.

00:03:40.165 --> 00:03:42.308
- I've always wanted some book

00:03:42.308 --> 00:03:45.278
that is really, really hugely analyzed

00:03:45.278 --> 00:03:46.812
in high school literature class.

00:03:46.812 --> 00:03:48.860
I've always wanted an author
to come out and be like,

00:03:48.860 --> 00:03:53.191
"You guys are all crazy.
I just wrote a book to write a book."

00:03:53.191 --> 00:03:55.149
- (Finebros) So what do
you think about how YouTube

00:03:55.149 --> 00:03:57.358
allows for something like this to exist?

00:03:57.358 --> 00:03:59.409
'Cause do you think on TV,
you could ever get away with this?

00:03:59.409 --> 00:04:03.961
- It's pretty amazing, actually.
This would never be on TV...

00:04:03.961 --> 00:04:07.301
or anywhere else, for that matter...

00:04:07.301 --> 00:04:08.980
except for on YouTube.

00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:12.345
- Content doesn't have to be
filtered through a gatekeeper.

00:04:12.345 --> 00:04:16.136
The gate's been-- like,
there's so many different gates,

00:04:16.136 --> 00:04:17.636
you can just jump the wall now.

00:04:17.636 --> 00:04:20.081
Like, the gatekeeper isn't there anymore.

00:04:20.081 --> 00:04:21.556
- YouTube, create your own stuff.

00:04:21.556 --> 00:04:22.843
That's kind of the beauty of it.

00:04:23.497 --> 00:04:26.416
But I think there should
maybe be some warnings on them,

00:04:26.416 --> 00:04:27.869
'cause imagine a kid saw

00:04:27.869 --> 00:04:30.067
some cute little animals on the thumbnail.

00:04:30.067 --> 00:04:32.038
And then they're eating each other.

00:04:32.038 --> 00:04:33.839
- No, I don't think this would
exist without YouTube.

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.808
I really don't. This is
a hard [bleep] pitch for,

00:04:36.808 --> 00:04:40.452
"Hey, we want to make
a really weird out-there parody

00:04:40.452 --> 00:04:43.660
of Sesame Street. It's gonna be expensive.

00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:48.266
We need actual puppets.
We need animators, stop-motion, CGI.

00:04:48.266 --> 00:04:51.172
And, oh, it's only gonna be
five minutes per episode.

00:04:51.172 --> 00:04:54.023
And we only want to make five.
Does that sound good?"

00:04:54.023 --> 00:04:54.952
- (Finebros) Are you excited

00:04:54.952 --> 00:04:56.419
now that you know about
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

00:04:56.419 --> 00:04:58.586
to watch the previous episodes
and wait for new ones?

00:04:58.586 --> 00:05:01.117
- I don't think I will ever be revisiting

00:05:01.117 --> 00:05:02.270
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.

00:05:02.270 --> 00:05:04.878
I think I'll just leave that where it is.

00:05:04.878 --> 00:05:07.533
- (Finebros) But wait, hold on. Why?
- Um, you know,

00:05:07.533 --> 00:05:09.667
I think I'd rather watch something happy,

00:05:09.667 --> 00:05:12.126
where people aren't being eaten.

00:05:12.126 --> 00:05:14.511
I really don't enjoy
watching guts, you know?

00:05:14.511 --> 00:05:16.514
That wasn't my cup of tea.
