Hey, remember Yellow's car accident dream in Transport? Remember Duck's family photos in Family? Where one showed a brunette woman with a small boy? Remember "David" on Duck's tombstone? Yunno, the one Coffin thought was meant for Yellow at first? Remember the D on Yellow's overalls? "You're not my real son..."
The theory I've seen going around is that each floor of the house becomes increasingly more intelligent and manipulative to trick Yellow Guy into not leaving the house until the next episode resets everything, stripping away his intelligence. The house is stopping him from finding the truth. Yellow Guy was smart enough to make it past every floor, but the "Leslie" floor was clever enough to trick him into going back downstairs. Leslie isn't the one in control, shown by the door opening up at the very end; there's one more higher power controlling *everything.* But Yellow Guy fell for it, and now everything's been reset back into place. Hoping for season 2.
Your genuine amazement to Lesley introducing herself, Especially since you HEAVILY remember everything from Episode 5, gives me life because her reveal is such an amazing thing in this show
Also yeah the ending is such a massive let down fr, Like I get why it has to happen, But still like, It wouldve been cooler if it was implied the book was saved away for the future instead of shredded
i'm glad other people were as blown away as i was watching that scene lmao. i've watched that scene probably like 10 times over just cuz of how good all of it is
@@Tulip_bip For real!! Just *everything* about the way she's introduced is so well crafted, Her off-putting narration, the piano she's playing, The lighting being soft and welcoming despite the music, Its all such an amazing careful blend of emotions that just leaves you awestruck, and then the added punch when you notice the name "Lesley" on the Train Teacher's various transformations, only for the woman at the piano to just casually say "My name is Lesley" like, WOW I really do hope we get more moments like this if we ever get more fr 🙏
@@potato_the_chip I 100% think we're getting a second season, cuz the ending of the Web series definitely felt final, but this ending feels like a cliffhanger Also yea, the whole scene with lesley is shot beautifully and really shows how far they've come since the first episode of the Web series
@The Cobweb It really adds up with the events of that episode too. It feels like yellow guy is breaking out of the boundaries of the world, but you see paintings on the wall depicting exactly what he's doing, as if it was all planned out. He thinks he's independent, but this whole time he's been dancing in chains
It’s important to note that Red seems content with staying at home now. It’s maybe because he’s seen that there really is nothing else out there, but maybe it’s also that Lesley may have replaced him. After all, she does keep spares…
The ending where Yellow Guy put the book in the shredder reminds me of the last episode of The Amazing World of Gumball where Rob tried to warn everyone about Elmore being destroyed but chose to ignore him and his fell in the void.
I think the endig is perfect because of something people forget. When you figure out all the answers and meanings, there's nothing left to do. For most things, that means the end of the franchise, but the book being shredded is representing the fact that the answers will never be solved. But that also means, the show will keep going.
Agreed. So many people were disappointed at the ending, but for me it confirmed a lot of theories I had while also leaving us with new questions for the next season.
@@miguelthekewlkid272 I was thinking next season would evolve more into keeping them happy but them wanting to escape/want more. I think it would be fun to add boyfriends or girlfriends or they are allowed to decorate/renovate the place, just to keep them happy and giving them purpose to stay there. As DHMIS is a big mirror on life I think that would be the next 'right' move.
@@mellohi6175 while the show gives reference to the webseries, it's clear it doesn't take place after it, on one level, I believe that would cheapen the finality of it, but on a narrative level, it ends with either the main cast (or possibly replacements, it's unclear) having completely different colors, the house itself is very different from the webseries, etc more importantly, the raw mechanics of the show are blatantly different, with there not being a "reset" at the end (or maybe beginning) of each episode, Red leaves and doesn't come back, Duck dies and doesn't come back, not only is leaving seemingly more difficult in the show than simply walking away, it's also inconsequential, they end up back at the house anyways, the same is true of death, there isn't real (or at least clear) consequence to it in the show, every episode starts with everyone alive This isn't even picking at whether or not Roy's importance is different, more timeline stuff (like whether it takes place before (it probably doesn't)), etc. Personally I think the format and storyline itself being different is enough that considering them separate should be the default, but there's also just no real evidence for it and quite a bit going against it If possible I'd also like to see your source for the show being a "season 2" (though I think regardless of it being connected or not the different format makes what we have of the show "season 1")
If you look at the area where Leslie keeps her figures, there's only one drawer, and Duck Guy is the only character inside. He's the only one who dies.
“AYO YOU ARE FEEDING THE SHIPPERS RIGHT NOW!” YES THEY ARE😂 I was honestly kinda happy you got that. Also I love that you thought about when yellow guys said at the beginning and how it connected to the rest of the episode. I hadn’t even caught that and I’m so happy you think about this kind of stuff.
The photos Duck has in his wallet in the family episode show several interesting things : A child who looks like Lesley, a Dog, and someone who looks like an older brother figure
3 points i gotta say about this ep. 1. Yellow guy’s arc in this ep kind reminded me of the short story Flowers for Algernon. Its an old sci fi story about a mentally disabled guy briefly becoming super smart before his condition eventually comes back. 2. I always interpretted Dont Hug Me Im Scared as being a parody of children’s educational television (like Sesame street, Dora the Explorer, or Blues Clues). In this ep, I interpret the “Big Boys” and the “Bigger Boys” as being parodies of educational entertainment for older kids. 3. I interpret the lady at the top of the house, Lesley, as being the representative of the creators of the show. In the comic book Animal Man, the writer of the comic Grant Morrison had an arc were the main hero of the story realized he is in a comic book and met his creator, Grant Morrison. I thought this story was sorta like that, with Yellow guy realizing he is in a show and meeting his creator.
I'm pretty sure Leslie isn't even a "person" she's probably also a puppet, hence her "stitches" or what not. She gave yellow guy "the answers" to make him go downstairs and not continue up to find the truth, with him inevitably reverting to normal.
Theory: What if, the group from episode 5 are still out there, and the ones we see at the house are the backups. if she replaces them, its not the same doll, its a new one. So in S2, What if we see the house group meet the outside group?
Fun fact The creators of the show ship Fluffybird (aka Red Guy x Duck), so yes. They are feeding us shippers for a reason, and that reason is for canonical purposes! Hope this explained a bit lol
1) The fact that Yellow Guy mentions the "big and bigger then it gets smaller on top of that" at the beginning means he's been upstairs before. He keeps getting up to the Leslie room and keeps getting tricked to go back downstairs. The one behind it all, perhaps Roy?, may be at the top floor. 2) The fact Leslie yells "YOU AREN'T MY REAL SON" makes me think Yellow Guys parents got a divorce. Most likely it was the mother that left Roy as he has been shown to be not the best. He perhaps remarried to Leslie. Yellow Guy might be a reminder of Roys past partner, adding why he treats him like garbage, as he resents her. 3) The fact that Leslie can replace them whenever they die probably alludes to the fact that their memories of the previous deaths can be erased, or at least the bad parts can be. Also making sense as to why Red Guy seems to be back to normal in this episode despite the events in episode 5. (I think back to the web series where eventually Duck died in one of the episodes and popped up briefly in web series' episode 6. Perhaps this was them perfecting this regeneration gimmick.)
I would think ROy is below Leslie. And it makes sense: Roy may be the master of the show, but, in reality, he's still a puppet himself: He's nothing...Without a puppeteer.
Im thinking that yellow guy is Leslie's son, or a recreation of it that died and was originally named David. That would explain why the grave said David in the grave episode and the grave dude assumed yellow guy was the dead one. Also if you look closely at yellow guys overalls there's a letter D on it. Also it would explain why in that one episode yellow guy started talking about in the intro how he had a dream about another him and stuff. It would also explain why Lesie said "you *still* cant see the funny side of things, " implying that shes met him before and why she yelled "YOUR NOT MY REAL SON", because hes not her real son, but something close to it. Idk if you get what i mean but thats what im thinking
You asked what KWH means. It's Kilowatt-Hour. Watt is basically a unit for energy. Kilowatt is 1000 watts. Kilowatt-Hour means how many kilowatts are being used each hour. Basically the thing on her chest is an energy metter that tells you how many energy per hour is being used.
One thing I noticed is that the blob that the bigger boys were experimenting on has been in other episodes. Episode 1 it was a rash on his arm and i think it was also under Duncan's helmet, also in "friendship" it was the lump inside yellow's head that he jumped over.
I think to a point the three gets to mess with the teachers every other lesson if the teacher dosnt dissappear before it gets insane for everyone. I mean look how red and duck was tormenting and quickly increasing the intensity as the teacher is finally begging for THEM to stop
Yellow Guy's deja vu moment thinking about all the different rooms above and a small one at the top along with the photo of him climbing up the stairs and then the batteries in the display case in Lesley's room all show that this has happened before. They are being forced to relive their lives , in part or in total, over and over.
I have a theory What if the book the yellow guy was holding, will return like what happend with duck as she said "I always make sure I have plenty of, backups!" since the old duck was replaced by new duck since they didn't fix him but replaced him also maybe we're getting closer to see the origin of this place and why it was made. And she mentioned something about her son, what if Yellow had to do something with him
She joked about being his mom. She was also the narrator for the one “New Guy In Town” short from Transport, getting terrified when her “son” got in front of the car and got hit.
@@classical232 maybe she likes him because he is dumb I mean my favorite character in Patrick in the old episode of spongebob he's sometime kinda dumb and sometimes smart and a good fun tbh
The ending is a clever move by the creators. It gives people who have never seen the yt series and will just watch c4 series once on TV a sense that they knew what happened, but anyone who dives a little deeper will realize it’s FAR more complex than a woman controlling 3 puppets
@@JPS13Laptop I am aware of pretty much every theory for the new show. They're all pretty bad and trying to find too much literal meaning in something meant to be abstract.
"It's when you can't remember that over the top of you there's bigger ones that are bigger and bigger, and then over the top of it there's a smaller one of all of it at the top of that." bigger ones = Big Boys and Bigger Boys Smaller one of all of it on the top of that = small model of the house on top of the bigger boys room When you can't remember = he doesn't remember anything when his old batteries are put back.
Shredding the book of “answers” was the creator’s way of saying that there are no real answers to the show, it can be interpreted differently by everyone
@@pixwool I hope it isn't. if we get more seasons and never arrive at a meaning I'll just be upset. idc if it's meant to be meta, I did not spend years waiting for an answer just to get some dumbass meta ending
i think it has a story and deep meaning but not in a way thats needs to be put together specifically, the challenge theorists are doing is putting the backstory in the “correct” order.
Fun fact: in the beginning when yellow guy tried to guess what the crossword is, he explains the entire episode Edit: I wrote this at the start of the video before he explained the same thing
A weird thing is that Yellow guy or David, is smart himself in his own way, he just talks slow and is forgetful. He has moments where he foreshadows a lot and has emotional intelligence like in the episode where Duck is "dead" where he knew Duck was alive. I saw this theory on tumblr and it made me think a lot.
I gotta give you a huge compliment. In your reactions you seem so alive and happy. It's fun to watch your reactions even if I don't like the thing you watch. I don't know if someone already said that, just wanted to tell you how I genuinely feel about you.
Gnosticism is a heretical set of beliefs about "hidden knowledge." According to it, the world was created by a "god" primarily the God of the Old Testament, who was not the true god. The Demiurge, or Yaldabaoth, created mankind to be mindless and blind to the spiritual world, so higher spiritual beings, pitying mankind, imparted them with knowledge and souls with access to the spiritual realm i.e. the "hidden truth." So that would mean that in the TV series, Lesley serves the role of the pretender god. Becky and Joe exist on the top of the stairs (which reminds me of the description of Jacob's Ladder in the Book of Genesis). When the Yellow Guy receives his newfound intelligence, that would be Becky and Joe symbolically giving them that secret knowledge. Lesley would have created the "world" of the DHMIS universe, but she was not the one who imparted her "creations" with knowledge of their existence and actively tries to keep the puppets from achieving spiritual awareness.
I have a theory for this episode (or the whole series): This about school, the first floor is like kinder garden/elementary school, they learn with music, they learn a subjet but with a very simple definition si their brains can understand, for example in the last episode when the car says that he needs the ancient ones underground he's talking about oil but in a very specific and complicated way, another good example is when red guy says that he likes to see duck and duck too, that's how many kids says that they like to be friends because you don't know the true meaning of love (friends, family, couples but i don't think the third one applies for that situation if you ask me) The big boys room is basically high school, you get big and you start to be smarter and that explains the "we don't do one thing, we do two at the same time" that can explain that they have the hability to do multi-task, but yellow finds that boring because they still have songs but they learn more "complicated" stuff, just to say something The bigger boys rooms is what i think it's the university, very smart and capable to do even more things, you don't need songs anymore to learn about stuff because you can now do stuff with what you learn (that could explain the experiment and the way the say "what are we testing?" Which could translate to learn on your own, i think) I don't have a clue what the last room could be, maybe being an adult or a teacher itself, i'm not sure, but that's my theory about the episode, i know it's way too long but if you're reading this i hope you enjoyed my theory
Regarding the crossword - what does Soyana mean? I recognize all the other words, but that one has me confused. Is it just supposed to be, "we couldn't think of a word that fits here, so here's a nonsense word"? Maybe something to mess with theorists? Or is it a real thing? A quick Google search listed a musician, an actress, and a food product company... Not sure if any of them are correct. Any thoughts?
I think lesly is part of the super race called the counsel talked about in episode 2. Because the three guys are repreformoring their life as a play, and at the end of episode 1 which is the only episode where they Dont make the teacher mad they get that coin(2 coffin dies and is unhappy with duck, 3 twins are angry and are eaten, 4 worm dies and is bad, 5 transport dies and wants to go home, 6 they replace electracy batteries, they don't make her angry but definitely don't repreform their life correctly. That may also be why Lesley looks strange she is not actually human
My favorite theory summed up: Yellow guy is Lesley's son!! - he wears a D constantly on his chest - that scream of pain Lesley let out as he crossed the road mindlessly to chase the bird. - how Lesley distastefully calls the bird a rat, blaming the creature for the reason her son was dead. - The coffin guessing Yellow Guy was the first to die? - plus she LITERALLY says " YOU'RE NOT MY REAL SON! " and soon tells YG, that she was kidding, he was her son. He was always "her favorite" which led to people believing Lesley created Dhmis herself to escape the reality of losing David in real life, by creating a whole little puppet show so that he never dies. I mean...yellow guy has been the main component in the show and series with a lot of dark stuff. The lamp and drowning in oil.. The notebook messing up his painting..the twins capturing him to be their mother, to the work incident and Warren one! It's all centered around yellow guy!
KWh is a unit of measurement found on electric meters. Kilowatt hours is what it stands for and as you can tell, it's mainly used to determine your electricity bill.
“At least it doesn’t hurt to think anymore.” That line always stuck out to me. Seems like someone _wants_ Yellow Guy to be dimwitted, even though he’s capable of geing smarter.
I'm pretty sure yellow guy shredding the book was a way of Becky Sloan and Joseph pelling saying that there is no correct story, it's what the viewer thinks happened is whats true.
I’ve only just noticed, but when Yellow Guy turns around from the mirror, the camera is facing the other side of the room (the side that us, the viewer, has never seen before) and it’s a staircase?! Sorry if I’m slow and someone else has already said this
Im thinking that yellow guy is Leslie's son, or a recreation of it that died and was originally named David. That would explain why the grave said David in the grave episode and the grave dude assumed yellow guy was the dead one. Also if you look closely at yellow guys overalls there's a letter D on it. Also it would explain why in that one episode yellow guy started talking about in the intro how he had a dream about another him and stuff. It would also explain why Lesie said "you *still* cant see the funny side of things, " implying that shes met him before and why she yelled "YOUR NOT MY REAL SON", because hes not her real son, but something close to it.
KWH means "Kilowatt hours". Wikipedia: A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy: one kilowatt of power for one hour. In terms of SI derived units with special names, it equals 3.6 megajoules. Kilowatt-hours are a common billing unit for electrical energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities.
I think they’re in a loop, Lesley knew what to give yellow guy, there was stuff from each episode on the walls (like it’s predetermined), at the beginning of each episode where we are shown photographs of the three (I think on the fridge) we see duck hiding pink stuff(maybe if we say he was replaced), the picture on the wall already showed what would happen, plus in earlier episodes yellow guy talked about upstairs. I have more/other theories but they sound more like conspiracies.
Thanks to other streamer the teory is she (Leslie) is the mother of Yellow guy. Context: the video of the city and Yellow guy die is what happend whit the real Yellow guy Leslie makes the puppet to replace him Red guy is The father and Duck is the Bird who makes the dead of Yellow guy His name is David the grave of the Duck in the episode 2 is His grave that explain the name of David in the grave the photos of the family episode is Leslie whit David
