I love how all throughout the song it’s peaceful and keeps the same tone. Even when the visuals get scary and cultish.

One thing I always found interesting about the episode is how The Story of Michael doesn’t actually prove that he found a special one. It only says that he was ugly and ostracized for being ugly.

I kinda think that Shrignold and Warren have a similar trait (other than the fact that they’re both bugs lol), they both get a personal gain out of a relationship. For warren it’s friendship, and for Shrignold, it’s just love in general. However, I usually think that Warren isn’t fully aware that his idea of friendship is toxic, he just likes the idea of people liking and listening to him. Shrignold I believe is aware that what he’s teaching isn’t true but he gets control.

I wonder how Shrignold would react to a police raiding his place and arresting him

"I didn't know it would do this well" Bruh, you combined two of the internet's favorite things, DHMIS and Media Momentos. What'd you expect? Not success?? Legit tho I really enjoy your content 🙂

I used to draw shrignold a lot when I was a kid, he was My fav ❤️

I guess this is a good video for showing how this series is more than just horror/fear. Also the meat episode still left it’s scars on me, I literally had a mental meltdown when I saw it years ago when I was a teen.

Fun fact:Shrignold is the only teacher to be defeated in the KZfaq series. He gets taken down with a fly swatter.

0:17 Shrignold 0:52 Teacher about "Love" 2:02 Parody 3:25 1. Look for lonely person 2. Fill hatred and isolate person 3. Eliminate thought 5:02 Teaching 5:32 Sketch Book Fake Kindness Subtle Underheaded Tactics 7:43 Aware he misleads. Scheming? Likes to be a leader, thought leader. 8:50 Shirgis 9:06 Vile Heart 9:45 (that show is terrifying)

Hooray! One on my favorite episode and my favorite evil insect! Sometimes I suddenly remember how large the puppet for Shrignold was. Bignold will forever haunt my dreams.

As someone with a lot of religious trauma and trauma surrounding love and relationships, episode 3 was the most terrifying for me because it felt so real. Sure, the others are scary, the gore is gross and scary, but they’re not as realistic and hard hitting as this one. To me, Shrignold is the scariest teacher. Tony is a close second.

Yay, more DHMIS content! I was just feeling like I should have a rewatch (after watching Interface recently, I am in the mood for more extreme weirdness) so I will take this as a good sign.

Ep 3 is literally my favorite one out of the KZfaq series it got me into Dhmis and I loved how the innocent and colorful cloud land place he lives in turns dark and twisted revealing that it was all just a way to lure to people in with happy lies and then sticking the dark truth on them

A real pity hew never appeared In the TV Series, cause that worm wasn't any better.

I'm so happy with someone talking about the lovely boy shrignold I love him aaaaa

To me, 'Love' is less about cults and more a critique on religion and how it uses love and happiness to control people. Shrignold is the preacher, the one in charge of the church but not the top authority; that's Malcom, who Shrignold also serves. He teaches new converts how everything works and makes sure everybody serves the king, or god in this analogy. Everybody serves their king/god by doing things for him and spreading his word, promising everybody eternal love, happiness, and a community that cares and understands you; but all of those things are inherently tied to all the rules and limitations. If you want all the good stuff you gotta just change your name, adopt a whole new way of thinking, and serve a nebulous deity for your whole life and _maybe_ your life will improve emotionally. Shrignold's way of finding new converts is similar to religions like Mormonism, they target lonely people with bad lives and tell them "hey if you join us, your life will be hunky dorie!"; or in most cases, finding people _they_ think are lonely and have bad lives and convincing them they do. Yellow Guy was never lonely, he just left because he upset that Duck killed a butterfly; but in comes Shrignold telling him how there's so much hate in the world and that Yellow Guy would be way happier if he joined his little group. His concept of a 'special one' is also something you see in a lot of Americanized religions, that one person who you're destined to be with and marry, the one you'll be with forever because its your duty; even if you know nothing about them. One thing you left out that's a not-so-subtle piece of evidence that 'Love' is about religion is the line "He's made for her, she's made for him. That's the way its always been, its perfect, and it pure, and its protected with a ring.", this religious movement is homophobic; just like a lot of traditional religions. Shrignold and his followers are vague about every other part of the 'love' they promise, but when it comes to who Yellow Guy is supposed to be with they're *very* specific about it. Warren and Shrignold are two different sides of the same coin; they're both horrible, abusive people (or bugs) who want control over others. Warren seeks to isolate whatever poor sod he's latched onto and make them his plaything, not even really hiding the fact he doesn't care about what they want. Shrignold wants as many people as he can get to listen to him, he wants them to be a part of this big happy family who just so happen to also serve the god he believes in; and I think that in his own twisted way Shrignold _does_ care about his commune. Also this is kind of unrelated, but I think if these two met that they'd either be perfectly matched given how pathetically desperate Warren is for affection and how eager Shrignold is to make others 'happy', or their mental illnesses would sync up and they'd just start fighting each other.

0:14 Now that is some really cool editing!

The "Death" episode would be kind of interesting to do, not so much bc of focusing on a specific character but more bc it kinda turns the entire gimmick of DHMIS' other episodes (innocent subject matter -> horrible twist) on their heads.

Personally I think this ‘teacher’ is a lot more like the Twins who show up out of nowhere from somewhere outside the house. They both try to trick whoever they are trying to ‘teach’ in order to get a new member of their family/group to do what they want. They are outsiders that don’t just show up inside the trio’s home like the other teachers, who have something to gain personally from using manipulation as a tactic.

Shrignold has always been my favorite, but I’ll be honest: I don’t see him as activity malicious, more as incredibly indoctrinated with a savior complex. The way he acts, to me, always felt less like “I’m actively trying to put you down” and more “I’m trying to be kind but am also being a bit hurtful oops tehe” Maybe it’s just my bias, hope he appears in the next season of the show.

I bet Shignold and Warren would be great friends 😅💖

I like to think is a mix of him knowing this is fake but being too far ito it to quit now and also kinda enjoying the power

0:28 Actually, the episode's name is simply "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 3". The shorts are numbered, whilst the show's episodes are named after the subject. Just thought you should know.

I absolutely freakin' knew it lmao. and this one is totally one of my favorites in the DHMIS series.

Talk about Tony next. He's one of my favorites from my favorite episode of the web series.

How is 3 the least liked? It’s literally got the best song and the creepiest twist

#3 is hands down one of the best episodes of the original series.

welp that settles it, arizona is never gonna recover from this

Warren the w-EAGLE

that’s two cool uploads today. this is the best birthday ever.

I think it makes sense that Shringold didn't show up, mainly because he isn't actually a teacher. He didn't present himself to the main cast, he only approached the one alone and in need. I know there's probably an real reason he didn't show but, but I think it's a decent in universe explanation

A little baby pigeon.

In my opinion Shrignold,Lily and Todney Are the Creepiest Teacher's

I believe Shrignold and the Love cult were created by the machine in season 1 episode 6 unlike every other teacher who was just controlled by it (Except Meatman) so once it was unplugged they ceased to exist

And he is homophobic.

In my opinion Ep3 is the creepiest episode mostly because I have a fear of cultist

I need a character quest on Rodney from robots Maybe bigweld or herb too

1:33 Nah man you forgot about how they're 3rd Homophobic, you left that out. They think that all love is supposed to be heterosexual and it's always been that way and that a ring protects love even though it doesn't.

Do a character quest for Daffy Duck (The Looney tunes show 2011).

Just a heads up: The music is WAY too loud. It really competes with your voice, at least to me

¡OKEY STOP! You should make a new video about Warren. He is the best and deserve to be treated with respect.

also it’s about homophobia but whatever

🏳‍🌈Shrignold's a Gay🏳‍🌈

My least favorite episode of the original KZfaq run. Strange to hear my choice of least favorite is actually popular, I felt like I was the only one since lots of anti-Christian people jumped all over it as YES, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE ALL THE TIME YOU SILLY CHRISTIANS. In fact I was under the general impression that it and the final episode were tied as fan favorites, with my preferences for 4, 2, and 5 being outliers.
