Thank you to everyone who took the time to watch and send in your thoughts. When we posted the video we did not think it would reach as many people as it has now. We’re a small team of artists and workers based in Beirut, Lebanon who got together two years ago during a time that was quite dark for each of us (for different reasons) and working on this has brought us a lot of solace. We are truly touched to see it’s also brought comfort to some of you out there. When we got together to work on this, we had a very tiny budget from a small grant we’d received and we decided to pour it into the set building. It took us a day to set up and two days to film the four parts. We were locked away from the world in this colored cell of our own creation and it was as surreal as it was comforting. Every person who has played any role in the making of this film has poured a lot of heart and a lot of their inner world into it We’ve of course drawn inspiration from things we’ve grown up watching and you will find in this video references to some of our favorite works and artists out there: Lynch’s Twin Peaks, Mini Studio, Kif w Lesh (Lebanese Kids’ Shows), Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, Smile for Me and Bear in the Big Blue House (To name a few). There are three more parts which we will be releasing biweekly. Some people have asked about the music. We hadn’t thought about releasing a playlist for the music but are now considering it. You will find one or two tracks on Spotify for now. open.spotify.com/track/6NvztYL7hgIXuITo6jP14D We are deeply grateful for your presence in this small world we built and hope that wherever you are, you can share the sadness with us for a moment. And that for a moment we’re not alone anymore. Hugs, The Mr. Samuel & Friends crew.

"You’ll always be one degree of separation apart from yourself, from others, reality seems like a dream". Yes. You know, when I first started making puppet videos they were a way for me to comfort myself and box in things that I find horrifying and make them small and less scary. I was surprised when some people called them unsettling or creepy but I could understand why. When I was writing Mr. Samuel, it was an attempt to feel less isolated and to reach out in the only way I could. This is why I appreciate so much the fact that you and a few others here found some sort of peace here. PS: Yes they are Arabic letters.

“home is nowhere, not even in your mothers bed. home is nowhere, not even inside of your own head.” this is really relatable to feelings of grief of losing someone you love. home is nowhere, not even if you surround yourself in things that remind you of them, they’re gone.

I'd highly recommend David Lynch's The Rabbits --- a "sitcom" starring living teddy-bear rabbits with the exact same tone/atmosphere as this one. Also like this show, it only takes place in one room...

As someone with schizoaffective disorder (schizophrenia and Bipolar NOS), this was really comforting. This eased my hallucinations a bit. Samuel especially, I kind of want to cry because something about him feels like home, like family. He seems like the grandpa I'd want (mine has been cut off because he has ab**ed me since I was born). I really hope y'all make more videos, this one was really comforting and I love it.

"Time is confusing and I don't know what's going on. How do I stop the horrors? I am terrified." I don't remember sending that message, but I must have, pretty much sums up my constant state of mind.

"Confused Adults" is right. Even Mr. Samuel looks confused about what the heck is going on.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who would make this connection. But when Mr.Samuel was giving the “make your bed” advice it reminded me of a children book about a child that asked why he had to make the bed. The parents goes through each generation of kids asking the same question until it reached the prehistoric era. By the end of it the caveman parents said the simple lines of “because I told you to do so.” and the story ends with each generation of kids making their bed. Making your bed has no use besides making your place neater. But it does help keep your mind occupied and helps people keep a routine for themselves. I think Mr.Samuel had to keep a routine of basic meaningless tasks to keep himself occupied from his dwindling mental state. But now he’s forgotten why he’s been doing them in the first place.

The worst part of this is the view count. It's not some famous video that went viral for its surreal nature. This is a random KZread video that absolutely makes you feel uncomfortable in the strangest way. It is a privilege to be able to experience it like this before it inevitably explodes.

It's like a kid's show that was made to handle adult topics directly to adults. Rather than a kid's show with terrifying undertones I'd like more~

For some reason this feels strangely comforting, while the tone is creepy you dont sense any malice from these characters. They dont seem scary, just sort of lost. It feels very familiar too, I can't really explain it. Anyway great job to all the people who worked this, super creative and intriguing project!

this feels like stumbing upon an old forgotten memory you've had repressed since childhood in the best way possible

@Khontis

Ай бұрын

A repressed memory that you repressed "For A Reason" but now that you're an adult everything is so fuzzy about what really happened and you can't remember if what you rememebered is what happened but time's changed you so it's not bad or if maybe you're not remembering it right because of how long ago it was.

This perfectly captures of the feeling of being a child and watching something innocent but executed in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable for reasons you can't articulate. I love the subtlety here. Nothing is blatant creepy, but rather presented with an uncanny quality that you see in a lot of retro children's entertainment. Something made with good intentions, but is unintentionally disturbing, such as Noseybonk or Hartley Hare. I always found that to be the best approach to the old "what if something made for kids was actually scary" horror trope. It feels so much more "believable" in a sense. You feel like a fish watching a worm dangle on an barely visible hook.

I was sad and confused, until I stopped to have tea with Mr. Samuel and his friends. The confusion isn't completely gone, but I feel better. It has been nice to be at Home with all of you.

I find this weirdly comforting moreso than discomforting. Art is made to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed.

This reminds me when I used to fall asleep in my grandmothers room when she lived with my parents when I was little. I’d often wake up in the early hours of the day to find tv shows that felt like this playing on the tv she always had on. This felt very comforting, like I was back in that bed with the scratchy pillows and big puffy blankets with that faint clock ticking in the other room while my grandma snored an arm length away. I don’t like my grandma now

What a treat to stumble upon this fine evening! With high production and a pleasantly unique setup. Eerie, but not too off-putting. A lovely balance. I look forward to seeing more, great job everyone!

“I built my house in your bones, and if you go where will I live?” Broke my heart a little. My grandma was the same way when my grandfather died. She knew that once he left there wouldn’t be much in her life she’d be able to hang on to. It wasn’t long after that that the dementia set in and it was a long road from there until she finally passed.

This is giving such weirdcore vibes, I really hope it blows up and gets a good fandom. Also that clock looks like it’s made of human skin.

That’s a good description

On the contrary, home can be anywhere you want, if you let it. It's the place where you recover, where you take a break from what bothers you. You may feel like home is nowhere if the house you live in is scary. But if you can find a place, any place, to take a breath and calm your heart, *that* is home. Just as your home is wherever you can take a break, your family is whoever will let you. If your relatives won't let you breathe, they're not your family. Your family are the people who are good to you, without expectation of benefit or reward. It can be hard to find your home and your family if you're lost. There is no single correct answer. Sometimes, you need to build your own home, and attract other wandering lonely people to share your time with. If you give them a chance, they may become your family. You'll never know if you give up.

Reversing the end of the video gives this audio: Samuel: "Well that's all for today. Now let's look at Mr. Bedtime story for a story. Mr. Bedtime story? Thank you Mr. Bedtime story. Goodbye!" It's taken from another part of the story. Just putting this out there so other people can find it easier if they were as interested as I was!

The line about time getting muddy and smudged sent me into a tiny bout of existential depression about time speeding up for a few mins I really like this though.. and it came out of nowhere. It's a comfortable aesthetic at the same time somehow, it's still 80% offputting but theres something comfortable in it. It feels like there shouldn't be.

I miss my grandpa. He used to record blues clues and other young children's shows for me. Even at the end, when I was 18, he would still say his little riddles and jokes, even with the looming promise of death over the horizon. I was put in a mental hospital before I had the chance to say goodbye to him before he passed. I sometimes think my childhood died alongside him.

I feel like Mr. Samuel is a dementia patient. He doesn't remember much about the contents of his life. But he remembers how much he loved being a child, so he imagines himself as a children's show host. The puppets are his various inner thoughts. Madeleine is the negativity and mental deterioration. She is nihilism, hopelessness and lingering suicidality. Mr. Snail is Samuel's positivity and hope. Trying to see the silver lining of the situations he finds himself in. The Sun is Samuel's logic; still in tact and trying to push back against the mental deterioration (Madeleine) and maintain any sense of reality still in Samuel's brain. And Samuel is but a passenger to the will of his thoughts. He is just along for the ride. So mentally exhausted that he is delirious and just happy to be included in the fun.

I feel like this was ripped straight from one of my dreams down to the gloomy clock, the snail mail, and Mr. Samuel. What hell am I living in that my dreams are now being broadcast to me while I am Stone Cold awake? 😮‍💨👋🏽

I love how this feels like a kids show with things like Mrs Madeline singing(?) about home, you’d assume it’s supposed to sound up beat and childish like a typical kid’s song but it’s slow and faint as if it’s a distant memory. The whole thing feels like it’s remnants of a distant memory and I LOVE it

you know KZread may be going downhill but at least it’s easier to find stuff like this

I absolutely love this. The whole thing about time getting muddy is so relatable. It’s strangely comforting and calming I’m so glad this was recommended to me Also if anyones curious the reversed audio at the end is Mr. Samuel saying “Well, that’s all for today. Now let’s look at Mr. Bedtime Story for a story. Mr. Bedtime Story? [pause] Thank you Mr. Bedtime Story! Goodbye!”

I feel really strange after watching it. Like, when I was watching, my brain was taken away from me. I didn't have thoughts, I just listened and watched. And now that it's done, my brains been given back. But it's been cleaned up. And without the dust in the crevices I feel.. strange. I built my house out of bones, but the bones are gone now. So what am i, and what do i do? Thank you for creating this. I don't know if I found it beautiful, I don't know if I found it anything. But when you make new parts, I'll watch them. Art like this deserves viewing. And this is truly art.

Very wholesome. As someone who just turned 24 in January, I didn’t realize how much I needed something like this.

This is the definition of hitting the nail on the head. The environment they’re in, the music, the delivery of the characters- it all contributes perfectly to the vibe of this whole thing!! This is some great stuff right here!!!

Woke up in the dead of night and this was the first thing that greeted me when I opened up KZread It’s still dark outside and after watching this it kinda feels like it’s gonna stay that way forever Pretty dope stuff

Thank you, incredible video. I feel like I'm still trying to process 2020, and each year after has melted into the last. I don't want to assume intent here, but I'm resonating deeply with this. The build up to addressing "Time is confusing and I don't know what's going on, how do I stop the horrors?" being the uninspired, unhelpful Jordan Peterson mantra "make your bed" is perfect

This feels like a show people talk about on lost media icebergs

Now THIS is what u call a good horror project

Mr. bedtime story is the best character ngl

He's my favorite too

This hits different when it feels like your home could metaphorically fall away from you sometime within the year, and you're not sure when to start finding a new one before it does, or if you can even afford to.

Never in a Sea of sunflower kernels would I ever expect to find such a quaint and fine show -Have a pleasurable rest of time

The sound design on the “not even inside your own head” song is so good it actually sounds like a voice inside my own head. Amazing work

Visually speaking, this is gorgeous and outstanding. I'm not sure what this type of art is called, but this sort of unsettling and absurdist yet endearing style will always captivate me, it's so raw. Amazing job

This is so giving me Don't hug me I'm scared vibes and I am loving it for it

The backwards speak tickled my Twin Peaks fanaticism! Not sure why I enjoy this kind of horror but I do !

Is this brand new? Oh goodness me this is gold.

The atmosphere is immaculate. I felt almost hypnotized the entire time. Everything about this project is just captivating. I cannot wait for more.

I see people relating to this from a lot of perspectives. For me I'm really relating to this from a standpoint of grief. I was fine for a while but I've hit another wave of grief having moved back home for the summer after living on campus at college. Home is different now and it will never be quite the same again.

If I saw this as a kid, I'd have nightmares for the rest of my life, but as an adult, I'm oddly comforted by it
