Hi l
Yup
What a mad lad
that's the power of hate
Big mood
Fun fact, the green part of the brain is the hippocampus which is an essential part of being creative
Interesting
So it’s THE creative color
Doy, doy, doy, doy, cake at stake.
*SO* *GREEN* *IS* *A* *CREATIVE* *COLOR!!!!!!!*
B-but green is not a creative color-
Something I also liked about episode 1 was how the notebook says “now let’s all agree to never be creative again” it seems like a joke about how everything went wrong, but really it was the notebook manipulating the cast of the show into being scared of creativity.
Rewatching this after the TV show came out. I love these puppets, man. I love people thinking hard about these puppets. I love how much effort was put into specifically this video. It all just makes me happy.
Lol but none of this applies to the TV show. At all
@@billblaski9523 the show might as well be a reboot, but for the web series this is a good analysis

The very last scene of the show, when they're sitting in the kitchen again, is them reclaiming the show for themselves. The set is fairly sparse, reflecting a lower budget after leaving Roy and the main studio. Everyone is now their favorite color.
They're free
I completely missed the fact that the colors they said are now the colors they are, holy crap! Thank you for reminding me of this, it makes the end so much better 😊
And it's finally no longer father's day.
@@tibby4503honestly, could Roy even be considered a father?
This got way deeper than expected, Nick going insane genuinely got me in the mood to hear more, and really made his point even more clear.
When a "religion" tells you to cut off connection with everyone you once knew, it means it's a cult.
So wait... if I make a religion based around self quarantining does that mean I'm making a cult because self quarantining means staying away from others and I realize it doesn't mean to nessisarily cut off connection with everyone you know but it means to stay away from them
Issac Munsen Uh yeah that’s a cult
Yeah that’s like the whole point
Just A Bit I thought it was a cult as well
Nonono, a cult wants you to bring everyone you know into the cult, and only cut off connection with those you weren't able to get to join it
Three years later and this is still the most valid take on DHMIS.
@@AbleWizzkid i completely agree. I actually had thise feeligs while watching the series. Everything they "learned" reminded me of what a child would think if adult things.
i personally like the film theorists take on this
Able WizzKid Yeah! I really feel like theirs goes more along with the tone of the series compared to Nick and Matt’s take.

I think the 3 characters represent the 3 general age groups that these shows target. Yellow Guy represents toddlers/very young children, the Bird represents slightly older child, and Red Guy represents children who are old enough to think for themselves and form their own opinions.
I also think the relationship between Yellow Guy and Roy represents how child actors are often abused by the industry due to basically being sold out by their parents.
Yah I can definitely see that
I think that the Duck actually represents old people, since they are very susceptible to the media
@@jagp135 Interesting theory, but why would boomers be watching a show made for children?

years later and i still wish the globe taught the computer's lesson instead :(
globe seems polite :(
@@lightbluesleeper yeah they'd prolly play acoustic guitar or something.
It would be better and no one is hurt because its planed
I think that the reason why the Globe and the cute little laptop did not talk at all is because the two of them where to actually teach what they where meant to show the main cast, they know what they have to talk about and it was in the agenda for the program. The two of them where real teachers that actually have real and helpfull things to show and know exactly what they are duing. The two of them get interrupted by the old computer, bein overshadowed to prevent them from doing what they are supposed to do. They are good and actually helpfull teachers that truly have something to show and is not stupid or wrong. Actual helpfull good teachers, getting ignored or replaced by the show.
Same :(
31:46 even as a religious person, especially in the Christian faith, I like how don’t hug me im scared portrays the pushing that extremely religious individuals release on to others, as with any person who believes in something incredibly extensively would. It shows how people use what they believe in as a crutch in arguments or strife when in such situations there needs to be a middle ground.
same
Yeah. As a Christian aswell, I agree with this. It's important to show why we are Christian and what we believe but not force it upon people. If we do, we aren't sharing Good News, but rather removing one's free will (which is not very good) Some problems I've noticed is when myth outshines truth, extremests making their own rules (thus technically making a new religion) another thing I noted is that the "religion" seems to be more cult-like, due to the robes, removing one's old life, and idolatry (which is the worship of an object, rather than God) I'm not going to beat around the bush. From what I've seen in scripture and teaching about homosexuality is that the problem doesn't like with loving another of the same gender, rather the reasoning (which is usually lust, aka adultery) if anyone has anything to add please comment
This. Even the Bible says (directly from the mouth if Jesus Himself) “And when you pray do not be like the hypocrites who preach in on street corners and in temples. Amen I say to you when you pray go to the innermost room of your house and pray in secret and my father, who sees in secret, will reward you.”
TLDR: Don’t needlessly/aggressively preach to people.
Amen
@@Kano_Productions kinda didn’t understand at the “homo” part. Mind elaborate a bit?
Notice how in episode 1, notepad tells them to listen to their heart, listen to the rain, and listen to the voices in their head. Then during the "crazy" part you can see red guy playing with a heart, it's raining outside, and you can hear voices in the background.
WAIT! The whole series is just one day!
DHMIS 1: They're sitting at the table having breakfast.
DHMIS 2: Mid-morning.
DHMIS 3: Picnic for lunch.
DHMIS 4: Afternoon.
DHMIS 5: The puppets are having dinner

End of DHMIS 6: The morning of the next day, why the calendar changes dates. They are in the same location as the first day.

Heh... Figures.... No wonder everyone has gone insane...
TV shows can and do film multiple episodes in a day, to cut costs of renting cameras and stages etc.
😲OMG! I THINK YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT!!
I saw this on a dhmis 6 comment
Nick: "I kinda miss having eyelids"
Microphone: *starts singing*
Nick: *grows eyelids back just to put on an annoyed and done expression*
He was motivated enough to grow eyelids to looked pissed
I noticed that too! 😂😂😂
I always laugh when duck stares at camera after "and we did finish all the chicken." Because I took it to be him emphasizing that he is bird and just committed cannibalism.
i dont think it could be concidered canibalism... a human eating a chimp wouldn't be concidered canibalism
the use of puppetry in your own clips to put a bigger focus on the points of the show is *astounding* and incredibly creative. Bravo, Nick.
I think a very (obvious but strangely overlooked) important message was missed about the title. Abused children don't want to be hugged while scared. The title is giving away the premise right from the start.
Whether it is in reference of yellow guy being abused by his father, of him being abused by the animate objects, or the broader message of people's intellectual properties being abused by the creators or buyers for the sake of profit is up to interpretation. Personally I think it's all.
Yeah it's obviously abt child abuse and trying to live in a world where the lessons we learned later contradict the ultimate truth we generally know as children.
All those theories are definitely right. No one should stifle creativity after all!
Exactly. It's very fun to analyse all the nitty gritty but sometimes we also need to stand back and remind ourselves of the message. I think a lot of fans forget that part and miss out on just reflecting on a message and absorbing it.
Thats very similar to my theory! Though its just straight up ab//se, I think Matpat proved that Yellow Guy was afraid of horses, horses are in every episode [from what I remember] and a few other things. Everything from episode one to about the beginning of five [not the Red Guy POV moments]. I think that Yellow Guy is ab//sed by his father, both mentally and physically. Red Guy is like a therapist or older friend, trying his hardest to protect and save Yellow Guy. And Duck is an imaginary friend, the only one who is sort of able to comfort him. On top of Yellow's ab//se, I believe he is disabled. Maybe autistic or something like that. Like when he seen the butterfly/bee/fly. He freaks out because it got squished by duck. That's my theory but its not really completed since most of episode six and part of five aren't used due to the pov being Red Guy
Very true, however where does the notion that abused children don't want to be hugged come from? This is pretty much the first time I've heard about it haha
No joke, that microphone's song at the start sounded like something you *would* see from DHMIS
I know! It's almost like that's absolutely and definitely the actual point! How bizarre! What a coincidence!!!!

Damn, there really needs to be a parenting licence fr.

Something I realize: When the Mic gets the NM puppet, his lower eyes are Yellow instead of Green, because he is a teacher, and, for the teachers, Green is not a creative color, and puppets are supposed to be creative, but, when NM kills the Mic, the puppet lower eyes become Green, because at that point, Green has become a creative color
And yes, I don't have a life, thank you for asking
thankyou.
Holy crap the attention to detail! Thanks a bunch for pointing that out.

is the same number of episodes that dhmis season 1 has which is 6.

Curiosity killed the cat, not the demon though...
*THE* *DEMON* *KILLED* *CURIOSITY*
"Curiosity killed the cat" is just an excuse to force kids to do what you want them to do, unless you're in a horror movie.
curiosity mentally broke the 4 eyed demon cat.
Was anyone else just really mad at the mic almost the entire time?
That son of a crumbly biscuit was a *pain-* but also helped beautifully illustrate what the "show" would be actually doing to the impressionable minds of children, which was also shown by means of Yellow Guy. Wonderfully well thought out and well done, this video-
AND CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THE INSANE AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT WAS PUT INTO THIS, OH MY GOODNESS-
Love the cat, that cat is awesome.
Hugs and love, friends :D

Mad props to you for making puppets just to fit with the show's theme
That puppet is adorable, just like the plush that he released.
@@XaxtonRevolution2 wait... Was that puppet released before or after this video?
I cant explain why I was genuinely sad when Nick was going insane.

35:43 I do like how Night Mind made the microphone basically give a strawman. I think it was pretty clever, as Strawmanning is a very common and very underhanded way to both argue and manipulate. And whenever the microphone called Night Mind cat puppet “a dumb cat who likes to shout”, he contradicts himself as he said earlier that the cat sounded monotone. Just like the teachers in DHMIS.
All I’m saying is, ya did a good job Night Mind! Keep it up!
Nick really did have a whole puppet made for an hour of content. I appreciate this level of detail and dedication immensely.
I believe that the creativity episode is representing how school kills children's creativity by punishing them for being outside the box.
I completely agree. Im neurodivergent, having adhd and am questioning if i have autism, and the first episode felt like when my teachers would tell me im "learning the wrong way" or they would tell me to be myself then punish me for actually speaking up about my confusion or disagreements. I view and do things so different from my peers and have gotten punished for it my whole life, mostly by teachers. Watching the episode connected to me so deeply and visualized it so well
@@fallenangely0hane the way I see it is that the school system has to kill kids creativity. Because if it doesn't then there won't be enough people working nine to fives to make the world go around. If everyone's doing something creative then everything will likely go to shit. It's just really sad that it has to come at the cost of kill creativity
It’s designed to pump out factory workers and other jobs like that that but that’s a stupid idea it’s outdated and they still fail to update it to now but they also attempt to with updating to customer service that’s fucking ridiculous
It's actually yes the school say that you can state you're opinion but you get in trouble for doing so
@@ReflexPancake do we even need grades?
Goddamn I know I’m very late but the way his set devolved around him is a very creative and fascinating addition to the video it adds more depth to the whole thing and I hope Night Mind is very proud of that.
The interruptions add a way to kind of see into the creators mind, a way of seeing (even if it’s exaggerated) insecurities or negative comments and how they can affect someone over time.
The aggressive ways he tells the mic to shut up and the entire way he goes through the explanations showing how he feels about the mics interruptions is just fascinating to me.
Also could be a clue to channel lore because of the fact that Nick has already said he's a demon. Fun.
Yeah this is a message to us as well to tell us how he is doing mentally in the end on top of a video explaining the lore in-depth of dhmis
Lol you thought you were late 😆
This is so perfect. Even just the name "Don't hug me I'm scared" immediately struck me. It hits so close to home even though this isn't really that much about literal children, but rather media and everything they are fed with. It's an old video, but I'm glad I found it
When he said, "Ughh. Anyway, yes, intruders are terrible..." at 11:24 I swear that I could hear a sponsor for NordVPN scream with joy in the distance.
2:28 Nightmind Cat contemplates if minimum 25 years in prison is worth murdering his microphone.
54:25
Something that I find interesting. Earlier you mentioned that the notepad kept chastising the child saying that "Green is not a creative color." And at the very end, it is revealed that the child was green all along.
They _were_ creative, the whole time, all along. I would like to think that that's completely intentional. That the notepad, being angered the child's natural creativity, decided to get rid of that creativity by cutting the child off from the source. Themselves.
Damn, I just thought they changed into their favorite colors.
jesus christ, thats fucking sad ;(
@@darkmomokocore3919 either theory is valid. I like to think they turned into their favorite colors in the end, but I can see the validity of the other theory too
Accidentally watching this and the whole series on June 19th is a bit trippy...

I can imagine the cat puppet you made to fit the shows theme just reciting the video's conclusion in the most sarcastic and monotone way ever while the puppet microphone gradually shakes more and more violently

The name "don't hug me I'm scared" probably implies that they were teached to not be scared, no matter how bad it is.
Fear is a good thing because that is the thing that tells us something is wrong, they were taught the opposite.

Mircophone: You're covering this too late!!
Me, watching this in 2022: Allow me to introduce myself...
Despite how long I've been watching Nigtmind for whatever reason I've never seen this video which is too bad because it's such an interesting show to not only watch but to dissect and think about. Plus I adore puppet Nightmind and hope to see him return if Season 2 is ever covered.
Anyone notice how as the microphone got more and more aggressive, the studio kept deteriorating in condition? First with the wallpaper being ripped off at around 35:36, around the time the mic started to become very judgmental, then the clock leaking oil around 45:14, followed by the calendar as the mic become more aggressive and pressures Night Mind into going a lot faster and tells them that their ideas aren’t original, and that they should give up and quit, along with making a puppet and mocking them. This is around the point where the microphone is becoming very aggressive. Then at 46:00 the room is covered in words such as “Give Up”, “Quit”, “Liar”, “Wrong”, “Fake”, “Corrupt”, and “Fail”. The ink blots are at their worst at this point and the microphone has reached it’s most aggressive point. (I realized I made a mistake on when Night Mind goes a lot faster. It appears after the words are on the wall. I am not going to go back and change it. That would be excessive) Then at 49:24 we cut back to the studio. The mic asks if they feel better, and Night Mind stands up to the thing that has been stifling them the entire time. The mic then tells them to turn off the camera, saying that there is nothing left to say, and that what Night Mind is saying was made for him by others. The mic then says a line of which thats delivery is exquisite. “Let’s get creative.” The mic then starts to go above the desk, demanding Night Mind to sing while Night Mind is telling him to leave. The mic tells them that it’s easier to quit, and that they KNOW it’s easier to quit. Night Mind then tells the mic that he is a hijacker, among other things. This is true. The mic is angry at this point, but not aggressive. We cut to Night Mind’s studio at 54:28, and what I presume to be the pieces of the mic on the table. The studio is restored, as the corrupt teacher is gone. My interpretation of the studio is that over the course of time, as a child is told by adults around them that this has to be done that way, and by not doing that they’re doing something wrong, the child’s mind becomes more and more full of lies they tell themselves. Lies like “Giving up is easier.” And “If I don’t do this in this way, I’m a failure.” By questioning the things they’ve been taught, they can reveal the fact that they have been lying about themselves being worthless and wrong. By saying “I don’t want this anymore.” Instead of going along blindly with what the adults say is right. And yes, I have been writing this for about two hours.

another little thing to be added is that the show goes in chronological order of the day in question, june 19th. The three characters wake up and eat breakfast in episode one, watch television and wash up in episode two, eat a picnic lunch in episode three, play a game and relax in episode four, eat dinner in episode five, and finally go to bed in episode six. The entire show takes the place only in one day.

"I'm not a hypocrite, I'm important!"
oh big same
I think something that Nick missed was the notion that Red Guy was the actual creator of the series, or at least had ideas that were different from the norm, different from everyone else, but wasn't sure how to present those ideas to others. When he tries to perform his song about creativity at the night club, Roy is there. The implication is that Roy offered Red Guy the opportunity to get the show made. The stuff with Red Guy waking up in an office was a flashback.
i was trying so hard to look for "explained" videos of the original series to recap myself before watching the new series, but I kept getting theory videos for the new series.
This was one of my favorite videos and I'm glad I finally found it again!
This actually made me cry. Not in a bad way. My mother was mentally and emotionally abusive for my entire childhood, and being told I can be creative and that I shouldn't be told what to think really hit home. I'll try to take on the lessons from this video, and I'll try to trust myself more.

It’s better to release a good project late, than release an incomplete project early. Because the good project will only be late once, and an incomplete project will be bad forever. Great work on this video, yours is the only one I’ve watched about “don’t hug me I’m scared”. So in my eyes you have no competition !
At 29:13 they talk about how the duck stares at the camera for a couple seconds because they cant be creative and doesnt know what to do next, while i always thought it was because the duck was forced to eat chicken and it was basically cannibalism. I also thought this because earlier in the song, the duck says "theres lots of chicken left, and I'd like to eat the chicken" and their eyes widen drastically before the camera cuts to red guy
Those are really good points.

The theory is dope! I always saw it as the story is told from Red Guys perspective, and that he was actually a child actor and the yellow and duck guy were actors too and they suffered through trauma (cuz thats what happens to child actors in hollywood). The red guy leaving the set is kinda a symbol of him trying to change and leaving his life as an actor for good and working a boring office job. His trauma resurfaces in dreams, and sometimes trauma victims develop weird, quirky personalities and express their issues through comedy. The crowd boos him and again, he visualized that Roy dude in the corner, and suddenly goes back to that weird room with the TV, and he's seeing all his experiences with the other two kids in front of him, and he tries to desperately hold on and change things in the TV (cuz thats what abused people do, they try to change what they remember about the torment) and the Roy dude reaches out as a symbol of "letting go" of the trauma hence pulling the plug.
That's an interesting theory! I like how different everyone's takes on this show can be.
This is one of the only good dhmis explained vids. It actually goes in depth about the messages and symbolism instead of trying to tie together some shit narrative than doesn’t make sense

I feel that the microphone is a representation of many of the thoughts that mindnight had felt during the project.
Obviously not the singing part.
But the giving up and being late
And tbh.
This was the first one i saw.
I dont care if your even up to years late.
I enjoy your form of content over many others.
Have a good day

*night mind never responded* :c
Also, Each thing the notepad mentioned is essential to the message of the episode "Listen to the Heart, Listen to The Rain, Listen to the voices inside your brain". here we see the human heart covered in glitter as a metaphor for the shows disturbing secrets being hidden in by the claims of creativity, the clouds turning into rain could mean the corruption of the show's meaning as earlier the crew were interpreting images in clouds and finally the voices inside your brain Where the brain that uses a green patch in it which reveals that the reason why she labels green as not a creative color is to mess with Yellow guy
at 47:45 when you suddenly break pacing and everything feels so urgent and overwhelming- at least to me, haha- that really stuck. I feel like I think about that scene a lot, and how afterwards, you stop. Take a breath. And keep going, defending your thoughts and resuming your own pace. It always kind of gave me an odd sort of reassurance. Magnificent writing, and phenomenal voice acting.
Imagine being a parent and letting your kid watch it a think it is fine, but then glance over to see what it was, that must be scary.
My mom did that 🙃
No she didn't tho It's called don't hug me I'm scared you wouldn't think it's a normal thing for kids
@@isqueakzmini this is my old account and she didn't see the tilte she only saw the beginning of the let's get creative song
@@aceweist3854 Yeesh. That must’ve been traumatizing for a child. I am very lucky my parents were very persistent about not letting me use the the internet until I was older. Looking back on it now, I would’ve exposed myself to some questionable content.
@@spacetruffle yeah I didn't sleep for a very long time and my parents didn't care what I did because they thought what's the worst he can do hes a kid so i exposed my young self to very questionable things ( such as the smile mlp video, Rick and Morty, salad fingers,Sally face ECT )

I fucking love how he grows eyelids to show how pissed he is RIGHT after complaining that he has none and misses having them
@@dx.feelgood5825 But the Microphone's N E C K !
@29:41
I honestly miss these style of night mind videos, the one's where he also gets involved in the madness of a series he's talking about
I'm finding your videos years later and after watching many different analysis, this showed me new details to notice. You mentioned quite a few things others didn't mention and love your interpretation of what it all means. Thanks for sharing! If I'm lucky, you'll review the 6 episodes released last year.
*analyses (plural)

"I'm not a hypocrite."

He grew eyelids to show how mad he got.
His pure rage created matter from nothing so he could look more pissed.
Why Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is not getting any special awards for this mysterious, horrific creativity of a show yet?! Holy. Friggin'. Crap! So, the message is to let your imagination run free, don't let anybody say something else otherwise or abuse you because of it. Take a chance. Take a risk. Spread your wings. and never stop flying for your goals that requires your special abilities to be who you really want to be on the inside. I guess you do explain the series better than MatPat from his Theory channels, then. You've just got yourself a new subscriber and I loved this video so much. Congratulations!!
the puppet budget is insane on this love it
I'm totally gonna sew myself a Nick Nocturne cat plushie. The idea is too adorable for words
jamie N sell them on eBay or something
Now I can see why this video took so long
I know, right?
It was worth it though!
Definitely
I had heard of the series so much and from what I heard expected this all -out attack on my sensibilities with very deep horror/satire in a highly unnerving experience. Now having watched it, without the need to graft my own issues onto it, it just seems like fairly straightforward anarchic comedy well-executed.
I knew there were deep topics but I didn't know THIS dark. This video was amazing. I just watched this bite size series and loved it. This video just makes it 100xs better and funny and deep. Love the puppet skits! 🤣
I know this is late to the game on this one, but who else would buy a plushie of Night Mind's cat character?
My daughter.
me 🐈
Oni Puck me
im getting my grandma to make it a reality

As I listened to this explanation, I grew a theory. What if the three main characters are used to represent the how the levels of maturity react to this kind of stuff. Yellow guy represents naivety (like a young child), he doesn't know much better, so for most of the series, he just sits and takes it since he can't do much else. He is at the will of his manipulators, until later in the series where he grows and tries to fight off what they're teaching him, and even then he can't do much *to* fight them.
Red guy represents maturity (like an adult, or in this case, maybe a teen), he knows that all of this is bullshit and he takes the most of it before he nopes the fuck out and comes back to try and save the impressionable minds. When trying to make his own creativity fails, he shuts down the show.
Duck represents somewhere in the middle (adolescence), he knows most things, but is still impressionable, so even though he still takes this "knowledge" like Yellow guy, he still knows that some of the stuff they say doesn't make sense.
This comment was probably really confusing and hard to follow, so tl;dr: Yellow symbolizes a child's mind, Red guy symbolizes a mature mind, and Duck symbolizes the in-between.
So the levels of people on the internet?
Ice Cream and Hadycakes you know you did a teenager twice, you said red guy is maybe a teen and you called duck adolecence
Both means teenager
Personally i think duck is a elderly. Hes senile and so far out of the loop that media can manipulate him again ( think how those knock off video companys prey on like the elderly who dont know better and get the kids the wrong game or movie buy junk that doesnt work because they confuse bootlegs for reality
Or those scam artists who have scammed the elderly for millions
Children and oldfolks are both pretty vunerable in alot of ways and dont know better either cause they havent leatned or there minds going or they are so far out if the loop
@@gameraspindlethorn6229 um I don't know what you're talking about-
Thought this was obvious. Fuck I should have made one of these theory vids hah
I think duck represents an elder, kind of like a child because they're so out of touch but a bit wiser.
Becky's response was absolutely brilliant.
51:00 i havent end the video yet, but dudeee, THIS IS AMAZING, actually gave me the chills.
I love the way you use (i assume) your insecurities to reinforce the idea of the concept of the show. Also, the way you keep going and giving information even if you were being "pressure" to not do it. I really, REALLY, love this. Great job!!
"I'll be happy to go without blinking for a little while!" *video lasts a full hour*
OH MY GAWD PUPPET NICK IS ADORABLE. I WANT A PLUSHIE!
6 years later Edit: WE GOT A PLUSHIE!!!!
THANK
SAME!!! He's so cute! :D

WHERE IS THE MERCH
1 hour of pure entertainment. I absolutely love commentary and Analysis videos and an explanation of my favorite weird internet pieces is just so nice to watch
This has to be my most favorite theory on the entire series. Insanely creative and well researched
And this is why Night Mind is a hidden gem on youtube, clearly high quality and you can definitely see he cares about what he makes for him and his viewers, so much effort was put into this, just astonishing, much love Night Mind xx
ps: you really do deserve more subscribers, so much more, you will get there and we will be with you every step of the way xx
He is criminally underrated
Couldn't have said it better
I hope this video brings in a good chunk of subscribers, it would be well deserved.
I think the reason why he has the small base he does is because he's very niche
totally agreeing
Okay, so I am loving the Nick-cat. Who's with me?
it must be his persona.
Don't you mean PURR-sona? Hahahaha, I feel empty inside.
His fursona
Oh no, now something is going to happen. Something bad...
***** Cool idea! I hope he starts getting some fanart!
Your creative struggles shown through the microphone are really touching and easy to connect to. And the rundown of the whole show step by step is beautiful and insightful. And I love the puppet very much! Thank you for the video.
