1. Stay with them 2. Talk with them 3. Play with them 4. Slenderman

So when the happy child loses his balloon he turns into spaghetti man, noted

As a happy child, i can confirm this is certified happy child moment.

Go adopt a happy child: ❌ Go buy a happy child: ✅

Everybody gangsta till the child turns into slenderman.

I like these. There's no jumpscare, just a constant, uneasy feeling

It’s all fun in games until you wake up with no limbs and your child becomes a 6ft figure staring down at you eating your limbs (happened to me once)

A lot of people have kids for the same reasons they get dogs, to fill a void and have a new friend. They’re mentally unprepared often to handle the mighty responsibility of taking care of a life and nurturing it into a logically thinking, rational person with real emotional responses. Nice video.

As a mother, I can confirm this is what happens when you ignore your child.

This actually symbolises how parents not caring for their child or abusing them can turn the child into a "monster" when they are adults or teenagers

My opinion: This repersents an abusive relationship, Happy child is expected to be happy and obedient and is punished and beaten when they aren't. Eventually, The Happy child grows into a teenager, And is filled with emotion and rage for being mercilessly abused, So they become a "monster" and they turn on their parent and kill them.

You can't complain since he promised to take away your boredom.

On top of the simple presentation and clean horror, this also works as a good metaphor for childhood trauma from parental expectations. A parent "buying" a happy child, expecting them to be happy at all times no matter how little effort they put in, only to be greeted with a monster of their own runaway design once they grow up, exacting a vengeance with more attention than their parents ever gave them.

Things (well, thing) to note: Looks like when something happens to an HC that makes them unhappy (e.g. them losing a balloon), they become... that thing. Strange unknown company at 0:11-0:15 This is criminally underrated! You just earned a new sub!

I think "The Best Mom" and "Happy Child" would fit together perfectly😭🥰

"Go buy a happy child!" Go buy a happy life instead 💀

Don’t worry if this happens to your happy child! Their just experiencing minor growing pains and might act a bit moody, but so does every teen 😊

The lore of happy child: I think that "HC" is possibly a murderer who built a robot who actually has feelings and is programed so whenever they feel a negative emotion, they become a killer thing. There isn't much else to find and really much that's all there is.

The Happy child gives free headless dude i need to BUY!

This video is every parents greatest fear: That their child becomes really really long.

My theory is that "Happy Child" is a rejected series of military robots that are then sold to the general population. They are made to looks like children as a disguise for infiltration mission into enemy territory; in particular pretending to be war orphans hiding among the war refugees. The tall lanky figure is HC's combat mode that it activates to assassinates its target, however perhaps of a defect the HC is very emotional and can went into combat mode when it's unhappy.

y'know, at first I thought this was some deep profound statement on those people who view parenthood as something you only do for yourself. Those parents who want their children to be passive little dolls that can be forced into whatever roles they want, become frustrated when they inevitably start forming their own opinions, preferences, identities and points of interest, which don't perfectly align with what is expected of them, and take those frustrations out on the children in question. Then I saw the monster, and I was like... "Oh ok, this wasn't meant to have any of those profound meanings, I was just reading too deep into it." But now I'm wondering if maybe you actually did mean it like that, and my bias against monster-based horror obscured that.

I wish I was a happy child. My uncle beats me to sleep.

i like how these analog horrors are different, it’s not always about plot mainly and it’s focusing more on making me uneasy

i think the HC robot is a sentient being that once abandoned grows vengeful and hateful. I think that if you were to give it love and care, it would never become a monster. the meaning of this video could be that children have delicate feelings, and without parental love, they don't grow into good people. The distorted monster is just an exaggeration. also instead of being scared i kinda feel bad for the HC like it got abandoned i mean if someone ditched me id be pretty mad at them (maybe not become spaghetti boi and guillotine them) but yeah

I think analog horror truly scares us by making feel like we can’t trust anyone. Like the mandela catalogue gives us alternates. And skinwalkers. When you watch them it brings out feelings of not knowing if people’s identities are just a facade or real. That terrifies me the most.

The misspelling of with made it seem like a child made the add asking to be with someone who cared about them

It’s crazy how a simple body shape that’s disfigured can be so threatening

I'm the kinda person who enjoys a bit of horror but doesn't like the jumpscares, this is perfect on that lol

This gives me that sad and grateful feeling that I have lovely parents who will never do this but sometimes listening to these audios just gives your heart that melting feeling. ;(

No one will by a happy child after watching that video

This is really cool, absolutely love this

this series its great so far but i feel like im gonna be jumpscared at any moment idk if this good or bad its building tension so thats good and making me scared i think ill follow this series for a little bit

I like the meaning, many people want a happy child but can't even pay attention to it, only want a low maintenance kid, tbh this happens so many times in real life that I have to wonder how many parents actually want a mini human, not a new decor.

Surrendering to despair

this and the best mom might be connected and be an abuse metaphor

I interpreted this as emotional neglect. Having love and belonging and esteem (represented by the 123 instructions) are part of the hierarchy of needs. I think that the Happy Child letting go of the balloon represents having lost something, like the love of a parent. In the end the child becomes a monster and destroys the person who took away so much from its life.

this is great i hope this gets more popular so there can be more to this "happy child" story

this is the type of horror i like. the feeling of uneasiness in the pit of my stomach is enough to make me feel terrified.

My friend showed me this channel one year ago and I’m obsessed

As a kindergarten teacher I can confirm that hundreds if not thousands of these happy children have invaded the United States already

You became taller, Just grab the balloon Not my fucking Head.

I THOUGHT I WOULD ONLY BE TRAUMATIZED ONCE, HERE YOU DID IT AGAIN

Okay why is this making me laugh so hard-

I’m so glad this version of horror is now popular. Analog horror is very underrated and I’m glad it’s getting the love it deserves. Before this, there’s always been that mediocre jumpscare formula just to get a quick scare from us, but now jumpscares are very predictable. But this type of horror will be in your head for the whole day or at least an hour, while a jumpscare takes mere seconds.

I know this is horror but why did I burst into tears laughing

I like scary stuff like this because it gives me a uneasy feeling and no jump scares 10/16

Scariest thing is that they misspelled “with” every time.

my theory is that; the happy child is like a metaphor to children in foster care or orphans taken into families where they're not paid attention to even then. They're bound to snap in some way or another if that continues. How it plays out is up to interpretation.

I like these no jumpscare just child trafficking

Before 3 years ago, my neighbor was watched one of the EAS analog horror, and have a heart attack due to jumpscare moment

0:58 *Slenderman: Origins* Okay jokes aside, this is underrated and really good. I hope there will be more to this "HC" Analog Horror Series

This still doesn't explain how my happy dad robot disappeared moments after he said he's going to market to buy milk.

I like this , the feeling of uncomfort is superior, in my nervous system right now.

this is oddly calming-

All I can think about is being such a good parent that when the HC turns into that noodle man, they actively fight against their own programming cuz they don’t wanna hurt their parent

holy moly that WAS SO GOOD. i dont like loud jump scares but i like horror. that was a perfect animation

Why am I not seeing this scary but warm and nostalgic?

This was pretty nice!❤ But as the child turns into a weird long person, it was so scary…

MatPat’s gonna have fun with this one

The silhouettes of these human-like figures, while faceless and without any eyes whatsoever, feels like they're staring right at me through the screen and that feeling is just so unnerving. Whatever they do, they're constantly facing you looking at you, like they're planning to do something.

I feel like the message of this video is like, society is telling you that you need to have children in order to have a happy life, and not needing parenting skills to have children. And at the end, the you seee the child grew up to be a menace to society, because of not being well taken care of properly. Then the parent faces the blame, like "you should've been a good parent!" There's a reason why child abuse is so high Edit: people are going to give me cr@p about it, and say I'm "projecting", when in reality, I'm not projecting at all. This is the absolute truth of society's standards. Alot of adults today have extreme anxiety and depression, most of it is rooted in childhood. And we have very young children developing anxiety and depression in early childhood, because of parents not acting like parents. These "parents" were fear mongered by society that "if you don't make a family, you'll end up alone", however, there are people who made families ends up dying alone anyways. We have elders in nursing homes who had childs, but they don't visit them anymore because they are ether too busy with their own kids, or because their parents were so horrible that they finally cut contact from them. Children aren't you're stress toys or trophies that you can play with, they are living, breathing, human beings. The effects of an abusive parent(s) on a child will really show in their adulthood. Also, we are not gonna go extinct. we are far from going extinct. There are still alot of other people in this world who have the right skills to parent children. So please don't worry about "the end of the world" that would never happen.

THE HEAD AT THE END THOUGH 😱😱

Take care of the child... *Or it will take care of you...*

I like analog horror that doesn't answer all the questions. Stuff like this where it's just "If you don't pay attention to the happy child, THIS happens, we don't know why." is one of my favorite ways of storytelling

Now this is official my favorite video on yt.

This gave me the chill 🙂

Keep your happy child happy. AT ALL COSTS.

Damn. New Analog horror just dropped. YT recommendations never cease to disappoint.

When I first looked at the title I thought it said “go bury a happy child”

This is analog horror But what is really important of this video is the instructions to keep a "happy child" You need to take care of them, listen to tthem, pay attention, talk to them ,play with them, fulfill their emotional needs they have Because they are children

Starting to think I need a happy child ngl

Imagine being the sibling of the happie kid, and you get into a argument, then you say "WELL YOUR THE ADOPTED ONE"

This was literally recommended to listen again for me

The southern accent while she says “child” is so funny😂

this was the first analog horror video i ever watched. this got me into the whole analog horror genre. thank you for making this video and getting me to discover the whole analog horror stuff.

I saw the title and thumbnail and immediately thought of the parents having a regular child, but then them seeing the brand “Happy child” and throwing their child in a dumpster while yelling “THIS IS NOT A HAPPY CHILD!”

*Sends to family cutely*

0:57 "hey dad I took that growth spurt" "that's wonderful sport!"

Cool, there's Surrendering to Despair (Sweet and Low) by the Caretaker playing in the background. Pretty subtle, considering how the original track is a lullaby but is linked to dementia-induced despair in Caretaker's work. 😮

Ow... They grow so fast ♥️

another banger from Short-tailed kitten (Atelocynus microtis)

When we least expected it... the child turned into... The Scary!!! 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨

0:56 leaked footage of a roblox slender being nice and giving someone free headless in a bloody fighting game (2022, colorized)

the moment the child transformed just remembers me at the mandela catalogue of the alternative

"The design is very Human"

Finally an actually good analog horror video

Everyone Gangsta Until The Child Turns Into An Alternate.

I feel like this is some kind of allegory for child abuse and how it affects the child, just written from a toxic parent's perspective

I bought one and took care of it! Thanks I felt like I was never gonna be happy ever! 😊😊😊😊

I forgot how much I love analog horror🤍

I love how it just shows how to take care of a child

These channels are just creating top tier content everytime

This video is every parents fear: they become taller then you.

happy child and best mom needs to meet

If you find your life boring, buy a happy child … *child appears* The happy child!

when I first saw this it reminds me of how I'm heavily neglected emotionally. Especially at the part where the child (I'm assuming) is grown, it grew to hate it's parent (owner?), and they're dead to the child now? I don't know, but this video is very interesting, and I love reading the interpretations on the comments!

Beautiful. Truly beautiful.

What a happy child I love this kind of horror

i must say, while the execution isn't entirely the best (couple of writing/spelling mistakes, doesn't really give much room to be all that scared of it), the premise seems nice. and you're definitely making everyone wonder what the happy child is or what it's purpose is, perhaps adding to the mystery, which i'd say is great. my personal interpretation is that maybe they are sentient and alive and that this company is basically delegating the resposibility of making sure they are happy (so they don't uh mess everyone up) to the uninformed public, under the guise that they're just robots you can take care of to not be broed and lonely. because, obviously, if they knew it could become whatever the fuck THAT is, no one would actually take the responsibility. i see you have a few other videos. i'm curious to see what they're like :)
