- (Finebros) So did you like this video? - [Bleep] hated it.
No.
It presented itself as a kid's show. It was happy.
And all of a sudden, everything was dying.
I did not hate this video.
I found it surprisingly enjoyable.
Yes, I liked the video.
Because it's bizarre and stupid,
but at the same time, you learn something from it.
I love those guys.
When I first discovered them, I was like, what is this?
And it was just so disturbing, I was just hooked.
(Finebros) Have you heard of a series
called Don't Hug Me I'm Scared? - Nope.
No.
No, I haven't.
Never heard of that.
I think I came across it on Facebook.
Someone was like, "This just gave me nightmares."
And ever since then, I just loved it.
I want nightmares. Who doesn't want nightmares?
(Finebros) This is the sequel to a video we showed you before
- on this show. - Uh-huh.
(Finebros) How does it compare to the first one?
It was fine.
It took longer to get a little bit darker.
But, you know, it was consistent.
Definitely got me to the same emotional state and physical state,
where I'm sweating a little bit on my lower back.
I like this one more because I'm actually obsessed with time,
because all I think about is death.
And all I think about is how it's ending.
And all I think about is how I'm doing daily vlogs
every single day of my life
and I'm missing out on everything in the outside world.
Wait, I was on this one?
Wait, remind me really quick.
- (Finebros chuckling) There you are. - What?
(in video) It's better than Sesame Street. (chuckles)
I totally don't remember that. Okay, okay, I watched it.
Fine, I did see this.
Even after you showing me the clip again,
I still don't remember that.
It's a very out-of-body experience seeing that.
I swear I'm not on anything right now.
- (Finebros) So this is a sequel... - Okay.
(Finebros) ...that has the same characters.
And just like in this one, in the first one,
it starts off like a happy kid's show
and then goes horribly wrong.
What do you think of this being
the idea for a whole series of videos like this?
I love that idea.
I think it's a good format.
Oh, I love it.
I like the idea of this series. But I really do think
that they need to get to the point a little faster.
What audience is this for, exactly?
Do they appeal to kids,
or do they appeal to people who just sit around high
and are like, "Oh my god, I'm gonna learn something right now."
And then they just have the best trip of their life.
(Finebros) Let's break down the story.
What were the characters doing and what happened?
So the characters were sitting, waiting for their favorite show.
And then the clock started talking.
Began singing a song and discussing the nature of time.
It goes through this weird philosophical discussion.
And then everything ages rapidly and they all die.
And then they explain that time eventually kills everyone,
which is a happy thing.
The people watching actually died, but then it turns out
they were watching a TV show and no one actually died.
It was all "an illusion" in the show.
(Finebros) Do you think there was a lesson or a message here?
Probably not.
I'm not really focusing on facts or any of that stuff,
because all I'm thinking about is,
"When's it gonna happen? When are they gonna die?"
Time is very important, and you should treasure it.
Don't waste time, because before long you're dead.
That everyone dies. (laughs loudly)
That's what I got from it.
Everything is temporary. Nothing is important.
Some really dark [bleep].
(Finebros) Do you think kids could handle this?
I think they'd probably cry.
No. Jesus, no.
I think that's gonna scare a whole crap-load of kids.
Yeah. Kids these days are weird.
Kids always can handle something gruesome like this.
If kids can handle watching my videos,
I'm sure that they're fine watching a puppet talk about time.
(Finebros) Well, we did show the first one
- to the kids on Kids React. - Why would you do that?
Oh, the kids watched it. Was it as creepy as that?
(Finebros) One of the six-year-olds was singing along
- 'cause he knew it. - What?
(Finebros) Some were creeped out,
but it didn't really faze them like we thought it would.
What do you think about that?
I think now the internet is making kids tougher,
'cause I definitely would have cried.
I guess it doesn't surprise me all that much.
Parents don't know what their kids are watching on YouTube,
so I'm not surprised.
Kids are so desensitized because of video ga--
I sound like an '80s mother, like,
"The video games are so bad for the kids."
We're so desensitized to this now. They're like,
"Oh yeah, talking Muppets [bleep] crumbling from the fingertips.
I've seen that."
(Finebros) So recently, the creators used Kickstarter
and raised money successfully to make more episodes
of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
Would you say you're excited to see more?
I'm not excited. (giggles) I don't want to watch them.
I'm not not excited. But I'm not like, "Man, I can't wait."
Sure.
Yes.
Yes, definitely.
I'll watch it. Hell yeah, I'll watch it.
Beyond excited. I cannot wait.
I'm always excited for people to make stuff on the internet
that's different and unique and has a point.
(Finebros) What do you want to say to Becky and Joe,
whose minds have brought the internet the world
- of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared? - What drugs were you guys on?
It's actually pretty well done. I'm definitely creeped out.
And it's gonna be interesting to see how far they can push this.
I'm really curious to know what happened to you 15 years ago
and what made you create this show.
Where did you guys meet?
Where do you meet someone with the same kind of mind as you
and just have the courage to tell someone how crazy you are?
Thank you for bringing this masterpiece to the world.
There's just not enough nightmares in the world,
and I want to thank you for contributing to that.
Becky and Joe, I think you guys are two twisted,
sick, [bleep]-up individuals.
And I hope one day I can be on your show.
'Cause I like to show children the world sucks too.
(rhythmically) The time is gone. We are all done.
