Returning to these videos to see who's still here, and to let you know.... There's now a playlist featuring all my dhmis analysis videos!! Pretty sweet huh? Leave your pathetic life behind and watch all the dhmis content here: ruclips.net/p/PLkwl4mJVFnh7JRZaxAKeitVT2xZklPS6l Thanks for checking these videos out, the response these videos have been getting is absolutely bollocks.
I'm unsure if this was mentioned, but the reason why roy shows up is because Yellow guy dialed him up. When the family is screaming at him to make the call, yellow guy dials numbers, screams for help, then dials again and then asks for the food. Just wanted to throw that out there lol
Roy, I believe represents Yellow guys savagery. The true essence of primal. Everyone human being are animals, and you be delusional to think were not. We're just hiding it under our mask to fit into society. That's why we only see Roy once in awhile. When Yellow guy was threatened and new he was going to die. He had to call his primal to preserve himself. In that moment you have no idea what you did because it's not you.
I love the consistent writing that our Red Guy is extremely eccentric and weird among his own kind, despite how low-key he is compared to most of the cast.
I feel like Roy saving Yellow was sort of like a "only I can treat my son terribly" because Roy is a bad father, but as other comments have pointed out yellow guy does dial two numbers.
I think the lack of bunk beds really drives in that theme that quite a few episodes share that the teachers are hypocrites. The notebook is fine using the color green until it is Yellows favorite color The butterfly and the cult are fine loving things other than their "special one," but once Yellow tries, he is doing love wrong The Twin talk about bunk beds like it is the most important thing in a family, yet they don't own one Warren says the main three need to be better friends yet is a horrible friend himself (I wouldn't be surprised if he caused his friends to leave him) The boundary teacher from episode 6 of the tv show talks about boundaries yet touches Yellow guy constantly Literally all but one of these directly harmed Yellow btw
Reminds me of how a toxic family members (e.g narcisstic parents) tries to keep the normal one around doesn't want to let them go and tries to make that person stay with them at all cost just to exploit the poor soul. They often manipulate the individual with the "proper family" propaganda to exploit them.
I didn't see anyone mention this so I'll try. But you mention the photo about the child playing the trumpet and in the Death episode Yellow Guy plays the trumpet beautifully before the coffin shuts him up in one of my favorite jokes, "Wow, I didn't like that."
I just realized this too and was looking for others who had also seen this! Glad Im not the only one. Quite shocked that not many people have mentioned this
This episode actually reminded me of the uncanny weirdness that can come from going to visit a friends house as a kid. It can be an uncomfortable window into somebody else's lives and some times you see things you feel like you shouldn't be. And you don't have to life skills to deal with it yet. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
when i was a kid i went over to a friends house for the first time and it definitely felt uncanny. idk about your feelings specifically, but mine were more like feeling weird that my friend had a family and a living room and bedroom and their own toys and family members and were like a person. my 7 yr old ego had me thinking i was the protagonist of reality and my life was the only life, and then it got disproved lol
The awkwardness, the feeling of learning something new yet so strange that open your eyes, letting you be more self aware about your household, life or the household and lifes of others.
The reason they don't have bunk beds like they say in the song (in my opinion) is because without having their mother yet, they don't see them selves as a real family
It's interesting that in episode 3, yellow guy is inserted into the role of the mother of the family. Then in episode 4, when he's guessing the password and guesses "rat eyes", duck says "your maiden name", which only a married woman would have.
While I do really like your interpretation on Roy, I think he's a distant father who cares about his son but doesn't care in your traditional loving family way. He can't express love but he's there for yellow guy, even in a pushy way. It could definitely be an abusive kind of love though. I think of Roy more as an alcoholic father.
Given that in his only line of dialogue he implies that he is not only responsible for all that Yellow had passed through but also that he planned to put him under worse torture all for an infraction that for his wording and Yellow's personality was likely small, perhaps even imaginiare, I think that is hard to argue that he cares for his son in any way.
I’m actually kind of surprised you didn’t really talk about how overjoyed Lily was to “mingle with the cousins.” There is something so wrong with that line.
It's wild that we saw all three of the puppets families tho. Duck has no one Red guy doesn't actually fit in with all the other red guys Yellow guy has Roy who, given YG has batteries on him, might genuinely BE a computer?
Probably the most unnerving episode they've ever done. The lighting was phenominal and how the twins acted, the awkward pauses alongside the off counting they did, bothered me so much. Such a good episode.
your interpretation of roy coming in was the same one i had, surprised people got a positive vibe from that. even after it happens, yellow guy acts disappointed and expresses it to the duck
I always saw Yellow's distant and faraway reciting of the line, "Dad..." while sitting at the table later to mean that he's traumatized and conflicted by the fact that his father massacred and devoured an entire family, even if it was to save him.
OBSERVATIONS: 1. I used to Roy all over the place, but now I'm too old. 2. The Singing Doritos is an *outstanding* band name. 3. Those conjoined at the neck also reduce me to tears--of joy. 4. They should have gotten my permission for those wheelchair scenes. 5. I thank you for being at it all night, which can be interpreted in several ways. 6. I gotta have more Vin Diesel! 7. Red's family is obviously inbred. Made me nostalgic. 8. It's good to know that Daniel is *almost* as demented as I am.
3:26 “Dude, what the hell?!” 4:13 “Im inside your walls!” 6:30 “It’s family rave time!” 10:03 “My god, is he a fucking sociopath?!” 12:23 suffering toast child (?) that may be them all
I feel like Roy is a guardian. Because I have a feeling Roy is ment to make sure yellow guy gets treated badly, but when someone else tries to hurt him, Roy is send to get him back. Like a personal demon, they want you alive and save, because THEY want to torment you.
Thank you for saying that about Roy. It's pretty clear he doesn't and has never cared about Yellow Guy. He probably would've eaten him too if he hadn't moved out of the way.
My favourite idea of the family is that it's actually Roy's family. It has been theorised that yellow guy is made after Leslie, the shows in cannon creator of sorts I believe, late son David. If that's the case and Roy is called yellow guys dad, then it could be theorised that Roy may be Leslie's ex-husband. Back to the idea I believe in, the family could be Roy's side, with Leslie not liking any of them or atleast not liking any except maybe the twins, so she shows them as a bunch of creeps
We see the mother in the show, not the episode but in the show. In the Transportation episode when yellow guy is having his dream there’s a market with a mother and two children, with one boy and girl with similar hair.
I just realized, some of the new episodes are connected to the old ones. Death-Time(You die by time) Family-Love(Family loves eachother) Friendship-Internet(You can develop friendships on the internet) (I don't know what the fourth OG episode was called so i just made a guess)
@@mephilisthedarkelijahramat182 -Jobs and Creativity: in Creativity the Notepad encouraged creativity only when it fit within arbitrary rules, forcing them to uphold some status quo. In Jobs, Duck and Red don't want to fall in line the way they are expected to; Red doesn't want a job and Duck doesn't want to be a factory worker. Both of their dreams are crushed under the system until they accept it and become a part of it. -Transportation and Healthy Eating: both of these episodes see characters trying to escape. In Healthy Eating Red has already escaped and is trying to call Duck and Yellow to save them, yet Duck is stopped by the teachers. In Transportation Red wants to escape with Yellow and Duck. Again his efforts are foiled by a teacher when the car breaks down and Lesley restarts the show. In both episodes Red realizes they're in a prison and tries to save himself and the other 2. -Electricity and Dreams: in both of these episodes Yellow for the first time rejects the routine of the show; when he ignores the teachers in Dreams and becomes smart in Electricity. Both of these episodes also reveal who is behind the show (Roy and Lesley), and how they are running it (the machine and the dollhouse). In each a showrunner confronts a character and gives them the power to stop the show. Red succeeds when he pulls the plug but Yellow fails when he shreds the book.
i hope you have a good sleep after staying up all night on this video :) (personal headcannon is that when roy pushed yellow, he was actually trying to tell him to get out of here because he knew he was gonna do something bad. I like to think Roy knows he's a bad father to yellow and that's why he has him live with duck and red guy, but like this is the one time he knew he could do something good for yellow)
I find it so adorable when Yellow says, "Dad. I knew you'd come," because Yellow rarely EVER mentions his father. It's just not a thing. They don't appear to have a relationship AT ALL. Roy is only seen with Yellow in the "TIME" episode of the web series, and now in Yellow's thought bubble in the first scene of this episode (and only in context of the twins talking about family members). So the fact that when he was kidnapped and bound to a table full of terrifying family fanatics and forced to be their new Mother is when Yellow was thinking, "I'll be okay, I know Dad will save me, eventually, somehow." That's flippin' cute. I'm glad he was right.
@@Wawagirl17 in the episode right before he calls for the chicken, yellow calls another number and says "help me" then quickly dials for the chicken :D i'[ve seen some theories that he actually calls Roy an that's why he came :3 i hope it's true lol qwq
@@soggyrats Ohhhh my lord, I never even considered that, or realized that Yellow called somebody specifically for help on the PHONE. I thought that he was just saying "help me" out loud in fear, but if he called his Dad and then Roy showed up almost instantly, that is even better!
This episode takes one element from episode 4 if the RUclips show which I think is neat, The Apple tries to initiate a lesson on healthy eating, perhaps a more educational one since it's now June 20th and not June 19th, but Lily and Todney interrupt and kill the apple to push that its because they aren't a family they can't open the chuddle dollips, and now they need to be taught how to have a family. It's sort of like how in episode 4 if the RUclips show, the lesson was SUPPOSED to be taught by the globe, but Collin interrupted this lesson and hijacked it to teach them about computers.
Also YES YES YE I love LOVE how this show is an adult show but isn't like you said , sexual , or even in my opinion , overly grossly Gorey , like this show is so tame compared to most adult shows that when they showed Duck peeing for like that split second in the coffin I was genuinely caught off guard . Lol
I really like the messaging through each episode and the original web series. There’s a message being sent but through the duration of the video it shares other narratives. Like with family, it starts very heavily with Lily and Todney pushing the nuclear family ideal and refusing that anything else, especially the three main characters, could be a family. As the episode progresses we get different forms of family. Ducks lack of any family, Red’s desire to find his family (putting himself in risk and giving a lot of himself for it) only for it to be not what he was expecting and him to be disliked by his bio family. And yellow, who’s dad has been speculated (or just is, in my opinion) abusive. All three have a different view on family (either not caring for it or wanting it deeply) and all three have a mostly disfunctional form of a family. But they find solice with eachother. TL;DR I like the pro found-family narrative and how all the characters have dysfunctional families showing all the different kinds of hardships
most people get the saying "blood is thicker than water" as meaning, the bonds between relatives is stronger than the bond between friends. That is because the saying has been abreviated. The full saying is "the blood shared on the battlefield is thicker than the water of the woomb", meaning that friendships and shared experiences forge stronger bonds than the happenstance of a genetic connection.
@@shadow_shine3578 Pretty much, as with a lot of old sayings, particular where the real meanings of ideomes have been lost due to their words being translated as is but not translating into other languages or cultures
The family scent bit makes me laugh every time xD Family is my favorite episode, I love the songs especially Duck's solo song. I love the way it reminds me of the first Texas chainsaw massacre as well.
I'm new to the channel and am delighted to see so many of my favorites in your past videos. This show is so genuinely fascinating. This episode always sticks out to me because something about it gives me parentification/spouseification vibes. They literally turn yellow guy into their mother, yeah. But I feel like it's more than that. When a spouse dies or divorces, a lot of older siblings end up being treated like a parent or replacement spouse (not in the... grosser way). They're given more responsibilities and expected to do what the missing parent did. I think this show is just a collection of surrealist interpretations of traumas like this. Yellow guy seems to experience childhood traumas, red guy experiences teen to young adult type traumas, and duck experiences adult to elder traumas. It's just so interesting even a year later.
I like how no one notices that Leslie isn't the most powerful in the show because if you pay attention there are more stairs behind Leslie which means there's someone more powerful in the show that has been introduced yet or maybe it's just roy
The main cast missing isn't a new thing. In the original web series in episode three LOVE at the beginning you can see a missing poster on a tree. Perhaps the whole missing thing may be (or used to be) a reference to the fun raiser shorts on the DHMIS channel where the three guys are kidnapped.
I was rewatching this episode and wanted to note to you that the House Wallet (where Duck keeps the photos that are not them) still has their IDs in it and Duck's ID still has the big 'X' eyes showing he's still dead. Nice bit of continuity.
If Roy has any sort of power on this universe would this mean that he actually planned all of this including the kidnapping of his son just to eat that chicken?
yeah its pretty obvious to anyone watching Roy only wants the chicken, what with him saying "yum yum yum" and shots emphasising that he's looking at the chicken and not his son. One COULD argue he may have come to save Roy for his selfish sadistic reasons at first but at the end of the day he wants that chicken more than he wants his son. I think what's even more egregious how people say he "ate the family"when it's more likely he just murdered them normally because they were in the way of the chicken, the thing he actually wants to eat.
i reckon that the teleportation powers of the twins is actually a big part of the episode; and the house is sort of a construct of a teacher like how in the originals tony or colin or shrignold could bring the guys to the future or a digital world or the love cult; they basically teleport the characters around and bring them to their "places' like id imagine even if their transport journey let them out into a 'real" world (not the real world) stuff like petersons and sons and friends bits and parts ltd or todney and lilys house wouldnt be "real' places they could go visit of their own accord
I'm really glad I found you channel, your videos are really well made and both the explanation and the humour are amazing! Thanks for blessing my day, may yours be blessed too!
In my opinion I think Roy isn’t exactly evil, more so just neglecting yellow guy, if you look at the end of 6, he doesn’t appear to be stopping red guy, just guiding him to the plug. And he might not be watching them in a creepy way, but maybe to watch yellow guy. Perhaps he died in the same style of accident as David and Lesley, and was reincarnated as Roy. I personally think the two series are connected, the explanation for the different houses could simply be two different doll houses. And the 3 characters not remembering could simply be the "backups" this also explains why Duck remembers winning a tournament but the others don’t remember him doing that or the other things in the "goodbye" to you video. Another detail is maybe the plug, is meant to represent the crash. If you also pay attention to the themes of the lessons, it starts really simple, With creativity, time, love, computer basics, healthy eating, dreams, but the tv show has more complex themes like jobs, death, family, how to maintain friends, transport, and electricity. Showing what Lesley would’ve thought David as he was older. Or it’s a funny show with creepy puppets.
There's also a missing poster with the 3 guys on it in episode 6 of season 1. It's on a lamp post in the cartoon sequence about dreams (and drowning in oil)
Honestly, I do think Roy came to save his son, but in less of an "I'm a good father who protects his children" way and norr of a "Nobody abuses and traumatises my Son but me!" Kind of way
Here's the theory to end all theories. David was not Leslies son Yellow Guy has a D on his Overalls Yellow Guy says he's a Pig Duck calls Yellow Guy a Pet David was Leslies Pet Pig
I find it funny that you ask “have they been kidnapped” (in relation to the milk carton thing) while using the clips from DHMIS 4 in which you see the exact same milk carton
When you brought up the kid playing the trumpet in the photo i remembered that in the death episode yellow guys seen playing a trumpet which may support the two characters being the same. Did anyone else notice this?
If Roy Showed up at my house, and said “Its Roying Time!” I’d scream. Also I’m pretty sure the Milk Carton with their picture on it does NOT mean they’re missing, the milk carton was in episodes on RUclips. They’ve BEEN kidnapped before, and I’m pretty sure Lesley just reused a prop? It’s her show now, so.
I think roy showing up may be some commentary on some parents viewing their children as their property. He showed up when someone took his property to get it backz in an albeit murderous and disgusting way
I saw a post the other day that showed concept art of Red Guy being the one to become the Mother instead if Yellow. I can't help but wonder how that would have played out.
Arrgh missed the live chat again😒singing Doritos?missing children? Such weirdness!!!! Hope to catch the next live chat - miss the fun. And hope you're doing all right.

It opens a new gate full of theories, glad I could help B-]
DAMN I DIDN'T KNOW
I was going to say did Roy just happen to casually burst into peoples homes just eat their food.... and them.
Roy, I believe represents Yellow guys savagery. The true essence of primal. Everyone human being are animals, and you be delusional to think were not. We're just hiding it under our mask to fit into society. That's why we only see Roy once in awhile. When Yellow guy was threatened and new he was going to die.

I love the consistent writing that our Red Guy is extremely eccentric and weird among his own kind, despite how low-key he is compared to most of the cast.
The outside world treats Red the same way Red treats Duck and Yellow
I feel like Roy saving Yellow was sort of like a "only I can treat my son terribly" because Roy is a bad father, but as other comments have pointed out yellow guy does dial two numbers.
I feel like Roy was angry about the family "stealing" his son (he is abusive father not a absent/neglectful one) and throwing him into the garbage.
It seems to be a common misconception that people think he just up and left when he's ALWAYS around
I think the lack of bunk beds really drives in that theme that quite a few episodes share that the teachers are hypocrites.
The notebook is fine using the color green until it is Yellows favorite color
The butterfly and the cult are fine loving things other than their "special one," but once Yellow tries, he is doing love wrong
The Twin talk about bunk beds like it is the most important thing in a family, yet they don't own one
Warren says the main three need to be better friends yet is a horrible friend himself (I wouldn't be surprised if he caused his friends to leave him)
The boundary teacher from episode 6 of the tv show talks about boundaries yet touches Yellow guy constantly

It's sort of like how in episode 4 if the RUclips show, the lesson was SUPPOSED to be taught by the globe, but Collin interrupted this lesson and hijacked it to teach them about computers.
Probably the most entertaining theory video I've seen. Keep it up!
It is my life's work to entertain. Thank you:)
Also YES YES YE I love LOVE how this show is an adult show but isn't like you said , sexual , or even in my opinion , overly grossly Gorey , like this show is so tame compared to most adult shows that when they showed Duck peeing for like that split second in the coffin I was genuinely caught off guard . Lol
Also seeing other of Reds kind in clothes for so long makes me really uncomfortable seeing him cause it makes him seem naked.
I really like the messaging through each episode and the original web series. There’s a message being sent but through the duration of the video it shares other narratives.
Like with family, it starts very heavily with Lily and Todney pushing the nuclear family ideal and refusing that anything else, especially the three main characters, could be a family.
As the episode progresses we get different forms of family. Ducks lack of any family, Red’s desire to find his family (putting himself in risk and giving a lot of himself for it) only for it to be not what he was expecting and him to be disliked by his bio family. And yellow, who’s dad has been speculated (or just is, in my opinion) abusive. All three have a different view on family (either not caring for it or wanting it deeply) and all three have a mostly disfunctional form of a family. But they find solice with eachother.
TL;DR I like the pro found-family narrative and how all the characters have dysfunctional families showing all the different kinds of hardships
most people get the saying "blood is thicker than water" as meaning, the bonds between relatives is stronger than the bond between friends. That is because the saying has been abreviated. The full saying is "the blood shared on the battlefield is thicker than the water of the woomb", meaning that friendships and shared experiences forge stronger bonds than the happenstance of a genetic connection.
So it's the opposite meaning but that was lost
@@shadow_shine3578 Pretty much, as with a lot of old sayings, particular where the real meanings of ideomes have been lost due to their words being translated as is but not translating into other languages or cultures
@@StarlasAiko interesting
I SAW THE BOJACK HORSEMAN REFERENCE
This reviews are so funny and insightful! I really like it.
Thank you:)
The family scent bit makes me laugh every time xD Family is my favorite episode, I love the songs especially Duck's solo song. I love the way it reminds me of the first Texas chainsaw massacre as well.
I didn’t catch until my 3rd rewatch that the little green “Boy” was the dad. When i realized i went, ”NO NO WHAT?!”
I'm new to the channel and am delighted to see so many of my favorites in your past videos. This show is so genuinely fascinating. This episode always sticks out to me because something about it gives me parentification/spouseification vibes. They literally turn yellow guy into their mother, yeah. But I feel like it's more than that. When a spouse dies or divorces, a lot of older siblings end up being treated like a parent or replacement spouse (not in the... grosser way). They're given more responsibilities and expected to do what the missing parent did. I think this show is just a collection of surrealist interpretations of traumas like this. Yellow guy seems to experience childhood traumas, red guy experiences teen to young adult type traumas, and duck experiences adult to elder traumas. It's just so interesting even a year later.
Loved this one!!! The collaboration was pretty funny too. The analysis was spot on!
I like how no one notices that Leslie isn't the most powerful in the show because if you pay attention there are more stairs behind Leslie which means there's someone more powerful in the show that has been introduced yet or maybe it's just roy
I love the found family trope, so this episode was so much fun to me 👏
It’s been 2 years and 4:13 still makes me laugh
the family stuff aggressively reminded me of the bakers in RE7
time child could actually save them from this "simulation" cuz he could take them to another dimension
"Its Royin' time" *Roys everywhere*
The main cast missing isn't a new thing. In the original web series in episode three LOVE at the beginning you can see a missing poster on a tree. Perhaps the whole missing thing may be (or used to be) a reference to the fun raiser shorts on the DHMIS channel where the three guys are kidnapped.
I was rewatching this episode and wanted to note to you that the House Wallet (where Duck keeps the photos that are not them) still has their IDs in it and Duck's ID still has the big 'X' eyes showing he's still dead. Nice bit of continuity.
If Roy has any sort of power on this universe would this mean that he actually planned all of this including the kidnapping of his son just to eat that chicken?
yeah its pretty obvious to anyone watching Roy only wants the chicken, what with him saying "yum yum yum" and shots emphasising that he's looking at the chicken and not his son. One COULD argue he may have come to save Roy for his selfish sadistic reasons at first but at the end of the day he wants that chicken more than he wants his son.
I think what's even more egregious how people say he "ate the family"when it's more likely he just murdered them normally because they were in the way of the chicken, the thing he actually wants to eat.
Fun fact: they were kidnapped before, as a part for the Kickstarter
‘I love my family! And they like me’ well.
i reckon that the teleportation powers of the twins is actually a big part of the episode; and the house is sort of a construct of a teacher like how in the originals tony or colin or shrignold could bring the guys to the future or a digital world or the love cult; they basically teleport the characters around and bring them to their "places'
like id imagine even if their transport journey let them out into a 'real" world (not the real world) stuff like petersons and sons and friends bits and parts ltd or todney and lilys house wouldnt be "real' places they could go visit of their own accord
On how I've longed to hear a kurtis Conner extra greeting
It's been awhile sadly (totally respect him for changing things up though)
thanks for the flashbang at 15:02
really got me serious for a second
Your Lilly/Todney impressions are scarily accurate...
I'm really glad I found you channel, your videos are really well made and both the explanation and the humour are amazing! Thanks for blessing my day, may yours be blessed too!
In my opinion I think Roy isn’t exactly evil, more so just neglecting yellow guy, if you look at the end of 6, he doesn’t appear to be stopping red guy, just guiding him to the plug. And he might not be watching them in a creepy way, but maybe to watch yellow guy. Perhaps he died in the same style of accident as David and Lesley, and was reincarnated as Roy.
I personally think the two series are connected, the explanation for the different houses could simply be two different doll houses. And the 3 characters not remembering could simply be the "backups" this also explains why Duck remembers winning a tournament but the others don’t remember him doing that or the other things in the "goodbye" to you video. Another detail is maybe the plug, is meant to represent the crash. If you also pay attention to the themes of the lessons, it starts really simple, With creativity, time, love, computer basics, healthy eating, dreams, but the tv show has more complex themes like jobs, death, family, how to maintain friends, transport, and electricity. Showing what Lesley would’ve thought David as he was older.
Or it’s a funny show with creepy puppets.
There's also a missing poster with the 3 guys on it in episode 6 of season 1. It's on a lamp post in the cartoon sequence about dreams (and drowning in oil)
I loved that Kurtis Conner reference 😅 Love your work!
keep up the great work!!!
This Profeta guy, he's pretty good...
Honestly, I do think Roy came to save his son, but in less of an "I'm a good father who protects his children" way and norr of a "Nobody abuses and traumatises my Son but me!" Kind of way
Here's the theory to end all theories.
David was not Leslies son
Yellow Guy has a D on his Overalls
Yellow Guy says he's a Pig
Duck calls Yellow Guy a Pet
David was Leslies Pet Pig
This is cannon now
I can't believe they're all framed
I find it funny that you ask “have they been kidnapped” (in relation to the milk carton thing) while using the clips from DHMIS 4 in which you see the exact same milk carton
This is the best series ever.
The extra farewell made me sub
When you brought up the kid playing the trumpet in the photo i remembered that in the death episode yellow guys seen playing a trumpet which may support the two characters being the same. Did anyone else notice this?
Am i the only one who still shit himself when seeing roy. I have nightmares and cant sleep when seeing him
Todney’s Cream ❤
I am in your walls.
Great stuff!
He is so good at making reds voice
Maybe they no clipped into the muppet level of the backrooms
I am so glad I found your channel. Also you do the accents and voices really well!
Aww that was so adorable seeing duck about to eat the charred corpse of his murder victim-the youngest bread son lol
If Roy Showed up at my house, and said “Its Roying Time!” I’d scream.
Also I’m pretty sure the Milk Carton with their picture on it does NOT mean they’re missing, the milk carton was in episodes on RUclips. They’ve BEEN kidnapped before, and I’m pretty sure Lesley just reused a prop? It’s her show now, so.
I finally subscribed Daniel lmao you got me!
I think roy showing up may be some commentary on some parents viewing their children as their property. He showed up when someone took his property to get it backz in an albeit murderous and disgusting way
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" the full version of that one saying cause it fits very well
the family scent thing is true but i agree it went on for so long u gotta laugh or you'll cry
Glad that ur diong impressions still.
I love these so much, please keep making them lol
Are... Are you asking who's Roy? No, you can't just. Ask that.
I saw a post the other day that showed concept art of Red Guy being the one to become the Mother instead if Yellow. I can't help but wonder how that would have played out.
Grolton & Hovris have a bit of foreshadowing; Grolton's brother is much larger than him, and "Brother" is the largest family member by far...
Well we know from the 2nd episode that Yellow Guy is talented at the trumpet
I actually cant wait to see the brain freinds again from your eyes
I believe Roy showed up because the chicken deal was butting in on his plain foods and white cream racket.
the three appear on a missing poster on a tree all the way back in the love episode of the web series.
Regarding your question of where they are, they’re clearly in Leslie’s attic
Kurtis Conner reference at the end. Perfect!
Roy entered from the back door, because earlier in the episode the Dad and Brother arrive from the living room.
Him: hello my fellow traumatized children. Me: why did you have to call me out like that😢
4:13
Best moment
Arrgh missed the live chat again😒singing Doritos?missing children? Such weirdness!!!! Hope to catch the next live chat - miss the fun. And hope you're doing all right.
9:37 I feel like this is a inside job reference and im never letting that go.
My favourite episode by far
6:00 hey the dad is wearing yellow guys baseball cap!
