I love how the series can be enjoyed as a subversive comedy and then the last two episodes arrive with high doses of lore to put everything in perspective
I’ve shared this quite a bit but my personal theory for episode 5 is it’s about the creative process. The reference to the place on the map that’s “gone” is clay hill which was from the abandoned pilot episode (which there are a few leaks of online, if you’re curious to check them out). I believe that the fear of the creators that the show will become repetitive or lose its charm is reflected on the characters’ conflicting desires to stay at home or leave. I think the satnav telling them to go back is representative of peers telling the creators to return to their older ways - perhaps not moving to a tv network - and make the series from kickstarter. The fact that they end up in a junkyard might be the most literal with the creators’ fear that it might end up being garbage.
@@burchtreearts5162 I wouldn’t be surprised if it was referenced more in s2 but I’d be quite surprised if they brought it back entirely because they completely scrapped the pilot with that plot line.
I think this episode's mostly just an acknowledgement of the episodic storytelling of how everything always stays the same. The red guy's started to understand the loop of suffering they're forced to endure and just wants out, and you can tell he sounds particularly passionate when complaining about Grolton and Hovris always ending up back at the same place in every episode. The car finally gives him a chance to get everyone outside. Until eventually they go too far and end up in that junkyard. At which point, a literal narrator just ends the episode by basically saying 'and they all went back home'. There's no actual escape, because try as they might, they'll always be back home to start the next episode, like Grolton and Hovris, and so many other shows.
@@OnMyMindEntertainment poor red guy. You can even hear him sniffling/crying? (It's very low. I hadn't noticed until i saw a comment on the video saying this but it could also be shivering so idk) and trying to be positive when yellow guy starts asking where the community is in the junkyard. 😬
No spoilers, but this one and the next tie in together, even if it doesn't seem so at first. Many things in this episode will be important, like the personalized license plates, and Yellow Guy's strange monologue in the theme.
Fun fact! The town that the GPS says no longer exists was the setting of the original pilot of the DHMIS tv series, before the creators decided the concepts and premises of a town with a larger cast wasn't going to work as well as they wanted, and they shifted back to the episodic lesson format centred on the Trio.
They also said it leaned much more into comedy and gave to much of a South Park vibe. So they scrapped it and went back to the strangeness and horror with a bit of comedy slapped in
This is one of my favourite episodes in all of DHMIS. I know no one is going to feel the need to read this essay, so I’ll keep it simple: Red Guy’s emotions are very thoroughly explained here. My theory is this: he remembers DHMIS 1-6, and is trying to prevent that from happening again. The first 2 episodes were built so he could either not see the problem or find a way to avoid it. Episode one: he’s given the title of ‘boss’, which gives him power over everyone else, something he’s never had, as shown in episode 6. Episode two: his friend dies, but is given the opportunity to replace him with a carbon copy, which he takes in order to bring his friend back. But episodes 3 and 4 are the turning point. Episode three: Red Guy meets his family. They’re all emotionless, like he was, and he sticks out like a sore thumb because he is happy. He’s angry because he remembers being booed off the stage, being called boring, and that his hopes, or *dreams* , meant nothing. Episode four: he’s getting angry. Not only does he swear at his friend in order to describe him, but he partakes in trying to murder his friends. The worm in his brain is repressing his inner anger, and it’s starting to leak out. And eventually, episode five. He breaks down. He knows everything is wrong and that he must get his friends out safely, because last time he left them to die in DHMIS 4. He wants out of the house because he wants his friends to be safe, from whoever’s pulling the strings. He claims “we’re so close” because he’s almost succeeded, but everything is falling apart. The emotion in his voice as he screams about how there must be something out there is heartbreaking, this monotone, emotionless red puppet is crying for help while his friends can’t understand why. And what was it all for? Nothing. Because the journey always ends up back at home. I know I said I’d keep it simple, but…I lied.
Oh, I love your commentary through it--in my head I was saying the same things, lol! This episode has so many moments, but my favorite is Duck's inventory in the junkyard. "One skull, one bit of filth, one unknown terrifying object, one bag of meat..."
All the episodes are definitely connected and they aren't random or anything. There's a lot in this episode that'll probably be explained in the last episode.
Someone found that puppet car they ride in that junkyard recently, apparently the creators said there would be some prize to whomever found it though I'm not sure about the prize part. Just thought that was cool
@@OnMyMindEntertainmenti saw the image on reddit. The redditor who found it said there was a sticker (but I forgot who tthw sticker was), there was a red guy head, and a cushion of something.
i can't be the only one who thinks yellow in the intro song of this episode is speaking about the brain friends, right? dream: he calls it a dream because he can't quite remember the events of the last episode clearly since everything is reset another me: shy imaginary older brother little lumpy one: the lump that he jumps when he jumps the lump windy middle one: yumpherdinker things that i don't know now: the fun he had with his brain friends and then it went away: warren destroying all of it
This is one of my all time favourite episodes. So funny and so bizarre, with a serious layer of the mystery behind the truth of DHMIS being teased. The next episode doesn't back down from what's set up here, so can't wait to see what you think of that one.
I think the series going backward. Electricity first after that transport after that friends after that family after that death and the last one is jobs.
It's 2 hot! (...) It's making me 2 hot! NO! That is MY! bottled water. HOVRIS. NOOO Hovris, you cannot have THIS bottled water, this is MY bottled water! You should have brought your OOOWWN bottled water! Hovris! Honestly the funniest shit to me. I can't deal with how they voiced Grolton

This makes so much sense
My theory is that season 2 will be clay hill, since they keep referencing it and it seems to be very thought through, so they teased it maybe as s2
@@burchtreearts5162 I wouldn’t be surprised if it was referenced more in s2 but I’d be quite surprised if they brought it back entirely because they completely scrapped the pilot with that plot line.

Definitely one layer.

That's some haunting stuff, especially for Red guy, lol

And Roy being a homeless “guy in the road “
I like how the duck always refers to yellow guy as the family pet but in yellow guy’s dream the duck is the pet 😝

Can we appreciate how this guy doesn't drag it out with promotions, it's just the intro and then directly into the video
😃🙌🏿
Only one more episode to go. Your reactions are the best!

Just 1 of us just one of us! There’s him and me and ME!
Next episode is crazy, love it. So sad how short this series is but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Remember everything in this episode. It foreshadows the next one.
@@unforeseeable2.058 I've watched this episode a couple times after watching the last one. Crazy how much i didn't notice upon first watch

That is pretty cool!!
They burnt it down 😔

That's my business, PRIVATE BUSINESS!!!
"No matter what happens, they always end up back at home"
If you pay attention to what yellow guy says during the intro of this episode, it can be a spoiler for what happens in the next.
I think this one's my favorite episode, next to Family. And yes, that was Yellow guy's dad, Roy in disguise lmao
This show is so next level. Mad props to the creators.
Red guy: "look at how excited I'm getting"
*Duck Guy looks down*
😳
i can't be the only one who thinks yellow in the intro song of this episode is speaking about the brain friends, right?
dream: he calls it a dream because he can't quite remember the events of the last episode clearly since everything is reset
another me: shy imaginary older brother
little lumpy one: the lump that he jumps when he jumps the lump
windy middle one: yumpherdinker
things that i don't know now: the fun he had with his brain friends
and then it went away: warren destroying all of it
The creators came out and said themselves that they’ve red a lot of theories and they’re all right
Clay Hill was the name of the town the trio lived in in the pilot episode.
Without spoiling, I feel like this series defies the concept of continuity
I think they're like dolls that can think on their own, being "played with"
The guy in the road is Roy after the show was abandoned and he had to go homeless
Who agrees
Lots of foreshadowing of the next episode
And some more with the crossword puzzle early in the next.
I love how the mulhoven scenes are in the old trumpton show style
This is THE MOST RANDOM show ever!
That was probably his dad in disguise 🥸 considering the fact his dad Roy is literally the same puppet as the guy you found on the road
The woman at the end made the whole thing up and is the "controller in the dhmis universe
Well, I thought the same thing you did- what? However, I lmao at this one and now I'm invested so I have to keep watching these with you🤣😂
I got so confused about GPS for a minute hahah we call it a sat nav in England
Oh yeah, lol!!
Always fun to see red guy screaming in dhmis
I can’t wait to see your reaction to the last episode!!!
As soon as I looked at this video I knew it was gonna be weird fr fr😂 happy Halloween🎃

Remeber when i said im waiting for you to watch my favorite episode...
Well... This is it this was my favorite episode
😃🙌🏿
I have a theory that Transport happens after Electricity. I'm still working on it though.
That sounds interesting
I think the series going backward. Electricity first after that transport after that friends after that family after that death and the last one is jobs.
YES! Finally! Oh, it's getting deep!
Get geared up for the next episode! It's crazy
We’re almost on the last ep 😢
If you listen to red "the next day always start at home"
Nice!! Can’t wait for u to react to the final ep, very unsettling 😅
Will be out tomorrow! Probably my favorite of the season!
