Most people only started liking him after he'd befriended Lilith (which is understandable, their dynamic is adorable), but I *always* thought that Hooty is peak comedy. Maybe it's Hirsch's voice acting (like, do you hear how his voice cracks on some lines, like "lean on me!" or "what choices do you have?", it makes ME crack as well). Maybe it's the fact that Hooty is unapologetically insane, demonic and gross yet still somehow lovable and relatable.
I loved him since first episode, despite also finding him very annoying. I believe it is mostly likely because he was written specifically to be annoying, and the fact that the characters in the show also are annoyed by him. His annoyance level has dropped since befriending Lilith, but that's mostly because there is someone who legitimately calls him friend, and calls him by a nickname.
Same! I never really found him annoying at all, just thought of hooty as a super lovable and funny character. Heck, he was even my fave character for a while lol
I love that Lilith calls Hooty 'Hootcifer' not just because the mythological Lilith was involved with Lucifer but also because 'Hootcifer' pretty much translates to 'Bringer of Hoots'.
I love how Hooty gets increasingly horrifying in every episode, while still being adorable and lovable. Also, I just noticed the line "Witch, this is PEAK of Mount Romance!"
@@timesnewlogan2032 Yeah, he probably was. :) At the time I interpreted it as “Hooty is a force of chaos who likes mud too much and everyone fears him”.
I initially didn't like hooty, but when the Eldritch Horror aspect began to be more clear he truly does become... uh... something. I love Hooty. He's a fucking nightmare
Dana, Alex Hirsch, and everyone involved in creating Hooty knew exactly what they were doing in making a character that is 50% adorable and 50% horrifying. He is as gruesome and terrifying as he is lovable and cute. Such a simply genius dynamic in personality traits and features that creates an endless supply of comedy gold.
I don’t know what it is about Hooty: I SHOULD find him annoying, but his voice acting, utter insanity and body horror just make him absolutely hysterical.
@@BlazydayZ actually! alex hirsch was imitating mickey mouse's voice to dana to make her laugh and that's how hooty got his voice. you're pretty spot on
Wait if the house is his organs where the hell is his stomach… with all that junk inside him he should have a spot that is atleast extended from over eating…
New headcanon: if not for arbitrary range limits on how far Hooty can travel from the owl house or the porta-hooty house, Hooty totally could have beat Belos into the stratosphere if someone had just asked him to do so but no one ever asked so he never tried.
He's annoying and weird. And alot of his character and jokes rely on gross humor and body horror. Some people just don't like that. It's not that hard to understand. You can still like something while understanding why other don't.
Hooty seems to be the type of character that strikes a perfect balance between unpredictably chaotic and hilariously endearing. He is VERY in-your-face, has a finnicky attention span, and often doesn't pick up on a lot of social cues (but doesn't mean he is completely oblivious to them). But beneath all of this, this agent of chaos is an innocent puppy who just wants someone to be his friend; if you're patient with him, you'll soon see how loyal and resilient he is. EDIT: I did NOT expect to get this many likes! I was just making an observation on a quirky character. But thank you for the people who liked this comment, and while I have your attention I want to wish you all a good and productive day. :)
I love Hooty’s character. You look at him and he looks adorable. Then you hear him and go “oh. Oh what has happened to the context and cuteness” before it goes back to being cute in some ways.
has anyone else noticed that Hooty makes choices that are brilliant, well thought out, and that have the best outcome in mind, as well as being an amazing fighter, by just being random and easily distracted?
6:11 Fun fact “I am hooty guardian owl of ga’hoot” is a reference the the books “guardians of gahoole” by Kathryn lasky and the movie adaptation “legends of the guardians, owls of gahoole” ! An amazing book and amazing movie, Check em out!
I think it’s absolutely incredible how they wrote Hooty to be annoying for the characters but hilarious for the audience. Usually it’s the other way around for comic relief characters in cartoons. All hail Chad Hooty.
And it’s clear why they keep him around in spite of his annoying behavior. They do care about him (Eda remarks he sort of has a way of growing on you-) and he’s dedicated to protecting them…and is damn good at it.
2:24 will always be one of my favorite scenes in this show. From the way he says "PAIN" to Lilith's look of disgust when he's shooting out the potions. It just gets me every time
My theory is that he's a ghost which are blue and he was holding a blue net. And because he's a ghost hooty simply went through him and lifted him up with his coven clothes.
How they end up beating the Collector. King: “Let’s play Owl House!” Collector: “How do you play?” King: “Ok first you have to dance.” Collector: “Alright, sounds fun!” Hooty appearing instantly: “DON’T YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER!!!”
“Special delivery! *PAIN.*👹” HELP THAT SCENE MADE ME CRY HAHAHJA💀 it also scared me at the same time- I didn’t know hooty could do that deep of a voice😭
I still can’t believe hootys a real character in this show, like after two years of watching this show this video is making me just….. be aware of him?? Just his voice and how he acts AND HIS CHARACTER DESIGN…….. this is really fucking with me lmao
lilith's concerned and disgusted expression at 2:36 never fails to make me laugh, mix that with eda's disgust and doubt in the background while you can still hear hooty is so funny for no good reason
Hooty’s reaction to Luz’s drawing implies there are others of Hooty’s species, along with the fact there are Demon types and specific species. Another thing is that no one really knows much about him, so these creatures must be secretive, or extremely dangerous, or both. Dangerous is shown by, well… He fought a squad of the Emporer’s coven like a joke, and can take lot’s of damage. They can also be recreated via magic shown by Eda and Lillith’s (first) duel. Let’s call these the Owl Tubes. Owl Tubes likely work alone or in packs (mostly alone), and are likely to be very territorial (Again, Luz’s drawing). Owl Tubes function like owls, as they can’t digest bones, instead making owl pellets. They are obvious predators with their eyes facing forwards. Owl Tubes need an object to make host, like a tree or house, which becomes the body. Owl Tubes seem to have almost full control over the body, as Hooty has legs (Moonlight gathering), and can also control the lights inside the Owl House. If an Owl Tube were to possess a tree, they would likely be able to control all of it’s limbs. They were also probably made by wild magic. The powers of Owl Tubes also might be able to scale with the size of the host (Porta Hooty seems to be weaker than Owl House Hooty.) Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk. Oh, and there are babies or something since Eda raised him. Also also, they have some bee like functions (talking with dance), minor cat features, (hissing, fur/skin puffing out to appear bigger to potential threats), and skin being removable (evolution to an actual species from just materials, maybe?) (Edit: Corrected a bit of grammar, made things more specific, and added a few good points from the replies. Thanks for all the attention on what was basically intended to be nightmare fuel for the demon realm!)
From the looks of it, hooty’s species is also as strong as its host. Porta hooty doesn’t seem as powerful as owl house hooty. This makes me wonder how strong he would be if he connected to a mansion or something as big.
I don't think they're pack animals otherwise Eda would probably know about more of them (aka the pack Hooty was a part of), and Hooty wouldn't be so territorial. This is likely because it's one tube owl per host, which means that they cannot share hosts/territory. Hosts are presumably too big and immobile for them to function as a pack. He probably becomes territorial over other tube owls trying to take his host for their own, like a beta fish :>
Hooty’s powers are actually kind of lopsided to think about because on the one hand he does a very good job at roughhousing and being a guardian demon overall but on the other hand he got beaten up by the owl beast early on the show.. and as we’ve seen the owl beast is not exactly powerful.. but who knows
You're not wrong, Hooty basically is the owl house. He's either an owl demon who agrees to become part of the house that was already themed after owls, or he physically is the house, or the house is made of owl demons, or something.
Anyone else notice how Liliths hair has gotten more curly? We see when she was younger she had bright red curly hair so I wonder if she had to straighten and dye during her time in the coven, but since she left she stop straightening it and maybe stoped dying it or maybe her hair got like that naturally or she likes the black idk just something I noticed lol
Every single time I think they can't make hooty more disturbing they just do more casual body horror with him, I love that Infernal house demon so much
We should be thanking Hooty honestly. He got Lumity together, got the owl beast and Eda to morph together, and ate the letter that was sent to a Titan Trappers.
their reaction to hooty forcing himself off the house is honestly amazing. it's the little details of Lilith in complete horror, Luz trying not to throw up, and King about to start crying and looks in pure discomfort. love it. speaking as someone who is still practicing art and wants to become a animator. i appreciate these things.
My conclusion, Hooty is the perfect formula of chaos, freindlyness, outcast, and allaround loveable yet horrifying boi who seeks affection and approval from others
Aside from EVERY emotion hooty makes people feel. Did anyone feel empty when he was ripping himself from the house. I know it was comedic but it was also on some level disturbing in the same way a panic attack is.
Honestly I’m a sucker for the “running back and forth, in and out of frame while saying funny shit.” Gag. But just Hooty’s voice combined with “I am your god now!!” Absolute gold.
See what makes Hooty work is that never once have they ever taken him seriously, or tried to give him angst. Even in like the very dramatic heavy scenes he’s the same character. He’s consistent, and it’s okay because he’s a horrifying worm monster demon thing. Like you don’t feel bad not taking him seriously. And that’s what makes Hooty work. Thank you ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
Have to say the continuity of this show is fantastic Also I really hope in season 3 we get a little back story for Hooty, his existence is too much of a mystery, plus baby Hooty for the win!
@@charlielay537 I really miss the fun worldbuilding episodes season 1 and early season 2 were packed with, too bad we wont be getting any more due to the cancellation
sadly we wont, 3 season will be only 3 episodes of 40 minutes long talking about what happened after the collector freedom, but it might talk about hooty on the last episode who knows
I have loved him since the start, he's such a wild card and one of those rare comedy relief characters that are crucial to the plot. I've never seen anything like him and that's what makes me love him more. He definitely grew on me over time
Hooty is lowkey the perfect sanity test for how this whole world will feel to the humans in the story other than Luz. Uncomfortable, bizarre, overwhelming, weird... but once you get past that initial impression it grows on you like a mold and you find yourself loving the Boiling Isles. I wonder if Caleb went through the exact same feelings we all did when he first found the Isles.
Hooty drying his skin was what made me love him. Like that's the body horror I like Edit: Also the show being called Owl House, I really thought he was super important. Even if he's an Owl worm thing

Most people only started liking him after he'd befriended Lilith (which is understandable, their dynamic is adorable), but I *always* thought that Hooty is peak comedy. Maybe it's Hirsch's voice acting (like, do you hear how his voice cracks on some lines, like "lean on me!" or "what choices do you have?", it makes ME crack as well). Maybe it's the fact that Hooty is unapologetically insane, demonic and gross yet still somehow lovable and relatable.

5:23 so are we just not gonna talk about how hooty just possessed this guy's body like he was a house?

Yeah he literally just went through his face
My theory is that he's a ghost which are blue and he was holding a blue net.
And because he's a ghost hooty simply went through him and lifted him up with his coven clothes.
Those thrown punches were intentional. That was definitely possession, not puppeting.
Yeah, uh, it's safer not to talk about it.

Tell me what horror is greater than that of the collector. This comment possibly being true
From the looks of it, hooty’s species is also as strong as its host. Porta hooty doesn’t seem as powerful as owl house hooty. This makes me wonder how strong he would be if he connected to a mansion or something as big.
I don't think they're pack animals otherwise Eda would probably know about more of them (aka the pack Hooty was a part of), and Hooty wouldn't be so territorial. This is likely because it's one tube owl per host, which means that they cannot share hosts/territory. Hosts are presumably too big and immobile for them to function as a pack.

1:20 is underrated the delivery is absolutely magnificent. that whole scene had such good timing and voice acting
"KILL THAT MONSTROSITY!"
'Not the first time I've heard that!~'
The foreshadowing to Belos actually being a monstrosity is nuts.
He is such a good sport 🤣
I don’t think I’m ever going to get over Hooty jumping around in a Belos costume yelling “I AM YOUR GOD”
Best moment of his, hands-down
Every single thing he says in that scene is comedy gold.
It's funny because he was completely in character!
I'm too emotional, at 1:33 hooty is TOO CUTE I'm literally sobbing 🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖
I agree ❤
@@LordVadersChannel For some reason I thought you were the actual Game Theory channel.
5:05
“Sleepwalking… Sleepwalking.. SLEEPHOOTING!” **slams head into ground**
What the hell even is hooting😂
@@seven09 Hoot :)
Hiya Lilith, peek-a-hoot!!!!
Bro is built different XD
"But I can't hold a pe-e-e-e-ennnn!!!!" Greatest tragedy there ever was....
It's okay, he can type.
You forgot “by the power of moonlight I have risen hoot hoot.”
Such a comedic line. Then again, so is every one of hooty’s lines
Also “I am your God!”
@@thomasraines1396 0:58
0:13 I like to think that hooty’s mere skeletal presence in the video stole a bit of luz’s sanity
24 hours until hooty either kills you or steals your liver and soul.
I don't remember seeing that myself until this video so I think it stile a piece of mine too.
@@dartanion9706 i thought it was a random demon, i didn't realize it was hooty till just now :'D
Me: A- I'm scared ;-;
"💀"
As someone who hasn’t watched the Owl House or seen much of it, this is exactly what I envision when I hear “The Owl House”.
Highly recommend checking out The Owl House! It's a fun series!
Tbh, hooty is the owl house
You're not wrong, Hooty basically is the owl house. He's either an owl demon who agrees to become part of the house that was already themed after owls, or he physically is the house, or the house is made of owl demons, or something.
"Gotta let my skin dry!~"
-Hooty in his regular voice, probaly
*“I AM YOUR GOD!!"*
That makes me laugh every time XD
Same thi
Right?🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else notice how Liliths hair has gotten more curly? We see when she was younger she had bright red curly hair so I wonder if she had to straighten and dye during her time in the coven, but since she left she stop straightening it and maybe stoped dying it or maybe her hair got like that naturally or she likes the black idk just something I noticed lol
that's a really good observation !
Huh neat
YES I NOTICED THAT TOO AND ITS SOMETHING I LOVE ABOUT HER NEW DESIGN!!! It feels like she's reconnecting to her inner child and I rly love that
Didn't her mom point that out ?
My theory is that Belos made her change it since red hair was considered a sign of witchcraft/demonic.
5:36 hootys my fav character IMAO
Hooty is the embodiment of “I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me”
I don’t know what, but hoots sounds like a demonic, slightly insane Mickey Mouse
That’s the point
Alex is doing a mickey mouae voice
So regular Mickey Mouse?
@@jebkerman5422 yeah I should has sad slightly more demonic and insane Mickey Mouse
Alex was doing something along the lines of “the worst Mickey Mouse impression”
"STEALING IS NOW LEGAL"
Second best hooty quote behind "I DONT NEED A BABYSITTER. IM A BIG BOY HOUSE"
Every single time I think they can't make hooty more disturbing they just do more casual body horror with him, I love that Infernal house demon so much
The fact he has two sets of teeth and another smaller hooty in his throat instead scary enough
Hooty is literally everything in a character, he’s everything wrong done right.
This is a world of magic and beauty just look” *hooty looks at u*
We should be thanking Hooty honestly. He got Lumity together, got the owl beast and Eda to morph together, and ate the letter that was sent to a Titan Trappers.
their reaction to hooty forcing himself off the house is honestly amazing. it's the little details of Lilith in complete horror, Luz trying not to throw up, and King about to start crying and looks in pure discomfort. love it.
speaking as someone who is still practicing art and wants to become a animator. i appreciate these things.
In the finale, amity is still traumatized by hooty. When hooty is un-puppetized, amity is looking at hooty with a scare cringe look
I can't figure out if I want a hooty backstory episode or if I want him to remain an enigma.
I think I'd rather him remain a mystery.
Friend's input as he watches me write this: I think we wouldn't be able to handle the truth
The mystery is pla vital part of the charm
Do really want to know the origins of this Lovecraftian abomination.
Well we know now that he came from the titans head
"Law is meaningless, stealing is legal now. "
"I AM YOUR GOD"
"Special delivery ! PAIN 👹"
King has Bill Cipher's love of Chaos, but Hooty has his destructive nature
Fun fact: hooty and king were both voiced by the same who did Bill Cipher
Yeah, that was pretty much well known when the sneak peak was released. Or at least King was
1:02
I love how causal he is while luz is just gaging about to throw up
Normal people when their about to throw up: *runs to toilet or trashcan*
Luz: *T H E F L O O R I S M Y T O I L E T*
@@superdinotv3298 lol
And king just stands there crying lmao
@@Kidneyrabbit23 ikr he is just sitting there like “why are we still here, just to suffer”
5:23 is unironically the most terrifying thing Hooty’s ever done
The tea party is creepy
No this is the most terrifying thing 0:10
Nah i think 0:00 and 1:05 is Oh and 4:20
Nah its 1:05
it’s not in this video, but in one of the last episodes he was shown to have multiple rows of sharp teeth. ew.
0:55 My favorite Hooty moment.😂
My conclusion, Hooty is the perfect formula of chaos, freindlyness, outcast, and allaround loveable yet horrifying boi who seeks affection and approval from others
Bill cypher
Aside from EVERY emotion hooty makes people feel. Did anyone feel empty when he was ripping himself from the house. I know it was comedic but it was also on some level disturbing in the same way a panic attack is.
Your overthinking it too much
thank god i’m not the only one who noticed that i was so shocked when it happened
@@tiedyedragon5476 I think your overthinking a joke
The abject horror is the joke i guess
it was disgusting...the noises..and then the organs...*shudders*
I'm like 95% sure Hooty chucking potion projectiles was a subtle homage to Kazooie shooting eggs out of her mouth in the Banjo Kazooie games.
Honestly I’m a sucker for the “running back and forth, in and out of frame while saying funny shit.” Gag.
But just Hooty’s voice combined with “I am your god now!!”
Absolute gold.
Who woulda thought Hooty eating King’s letter at 3:56 was the right way to go
I was annoyed before but after a 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀 I am really happy he did that !
*aggressive chewing*
@@Stoopy_Star_Sticker same
for real!! we all hated him for it but turns out he was doing a good thing lol
@@WerewolfCat890 but then he puked out the letter
See what makes Hooty work is that never once have they ever taken him seriously, or tried to give him angst. Even in like the very dramatic heavy scenes he’s the same character. He’s consistent, and it’s okay because he’s a horrifying worm monster demon thing. Like you don’t feel bad not taking him seriously. And that’s what makes Hooty work.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
Have to say the continuity of this show is fantastic
Also I really hope in season 3 we get a little back story for Hooty, his existence is too much of a mystery, plus baby Hooty for the win!
We wouldve gotten a backstory if we had time for 20 more adventures
I'd love a backstory but it's funny if we don't get one.
@@charlielay537 I really miss the fun worldbuilding episodes season 1 and early season 2 were packed with, too bad we wont be getting any more due to the cancellation
Hooty may be thousands of years old
sadly we wont, 3 season will be only 3 episodes of 40 minutes long talking about what happened after the collector freedom, but it might talk about hooty on the last episode who knows
Y’know if the collector really needs a playmate….I’m sure hooty would oblige
OMGGG YEEE since like collector was playing owl house on the last episode, and hooty’s the actual owl house he’ll love him !!!
I need to see that episode now 😂
“Special dElIvErYyYyY”
“ *_P A I N_* “
Love it ♥️
I have loved him since the start, he's such a wild card and one of those rare comedy relief characters that are crucial to the plot. I've never seen anything like him and that's what makes me love him more. He definitely grew on me over time
Sameee he makes me laugh every time he talks lol I never understand why anyone hated him
YEAH ME TOO had me in the first scene, we all remember the epic words "OW! HOOT!" had me in a second. I LOVE this character, and he's perfect
Hooty is lowkey the perfect sanity test for how this whole world will feel to the humans in the story other than Luz. Uncomfortable, bizarre, overwhelming, weird... but once you get past that initial impression it grows on you like a mold and you find yourself loving the Boiling Isles. I wonder if Caleb went through the exact same feelings we all did when he first found the Isles.
0:12 thats low-key terrifying 😊
Hooty is such a complex comedic relief character. That tea party scene was darker than half of the actually dark themes in the show.
0:50 That definitely needed more than one take, because no way someone could do that in one take without laughing X'DDD
I AM YOUR GOD
Law is meaningless, stealing is legal now!
"Stealing is legal now! I AM YOUR GOD!"
6:06 you know hooty is op when he can cancel out the opposite force with just one head as his blade
I like that comment from the Coven Scout: "I never got over that tea party!"
1:32 WHY IS HE SO DARN CUTE IN THIS SCENE I CAN'T,,,,,,,,,
I keep replaying it, it's so adorable mmmm
5:23 This part is also genuinely terrifying
Ma boy loves *M u D* 1:32
bro how deep was that puddle he just dipped his entire head in
@@garbage_goat8386 Idk. He just high or puddle be like Baikal Lake
@@tbofficial3657 its the boiling isles... Dont bother looking too deep into it
How’s it terrifying?
There's something incredibly hilarious about hearing Hooty say "I AM YOUR GOD."
Liliths face right here is just unexplainable 2:36
Peashooter vibes
@@willowolf1475 lol 💀
Hooty sounds like Mario when he's being electructed (⚡)
Visible discomfort
I'll never get over the fact that hooty has hackles
What the heck are Hackles?!
@@EliasTressa I think the spikey fur/feathers that get spiky when he hisses? Not sure tho
@@hierrikmedan6934 yep, like on a cat
I'll never get over the fact that hooty's "been around" and what that implies for Hooty especially
I feel like no one talks about the rows and rows of teeth he has down his throat ??
3:03 is 100% my favorite part
Same
Don’t you talk about my mother!
Hooty drying his skin was what made me love him. Like that's the body horror I like
Edit: Also the show being called Owl House, I really thought he was super important. Even if he's an Owl worm thing
2:25 is the most hilarious battle scene ever created. Prove me wrong.
And 5:05 absolutely _KILLS_ me every time…because yes.
2:25 is kinda scare me cuz he changed his voice yo a demon deep voice
@@Anthony-yf5qz High pitched voice to a demon deep voice? You know who else also do that?
HIM from the Powerpuff Girls
@@Anthony-yf5qzhe kinda sounds like grunkle Stan
@@connorhodge23 There's a reason for that (they're both voiced by Alex Hirsch)
6:23 i cant stop making timelines coz these are the funniest momments
First time I watched TOH:
Hooty: *essentially eats Luz and Eda to let them in the house*
Me:.... Im sorry WHAT the fuck did I just see??????????
And also, why did it never happen again????
@@mabelmatteson Early Installment Weirdness. This would be impractical to do every time, so it's reduced to simplicity. Or something like that.
@@mabelmatteson I imagine it’s because Hooty doesn’t need to swallow his food multiple times.
