The first song is also a good commentary on childhood education when it comes to jobs, or atleast how they're portrayed to children. Very on the nose. "You can be anything you want to be, anything you want to do!" While talking about stuff like football players, ice cream men and astronauts. Before the trio's ultimately lured into and abandoned in the workplace the episode takes place in. It's a very striking portrayal of how people talk about jobs to children, about how there's always gonna be a right one for you that you'll love so much it won't even feel like work, but the monotonous factory breaks that illusion pretty quick.

@@philippeamon7271 - that's right on the nose for what's going on, isn't it? That catches some of the subtleties that are missed in the video's overview. We're presented overall with a very childish interpretation of jobs here, with a song that misses the point of working a job altogether, and the factory itself almost like a workplace designed by someone (something?) who doesn't really understand how factories work or what goes on in a factory... the things that happen there are pretty arbitrary, the work itself doesn't make sense, Red Guy's promotion to upper management is made simply by him stumbling into an office to answer a phone, where a talking fax machine promotes him and has him eating diamond-studded salmon and bossing around a pathetic wastebasket flunky within minutes of arriving - Red Guy didn't even want to work (and, to be fair, that's exactly the job he wanted to do - sitting around doing nothing!) The promotion basically means Red Guy at the end of decades of working hard (or hardly working) actually become Mr. Peterson, as if it's a job title.... The bits-and-parts assembly line doesn't make any more sense... the randomly-manufactured bits and parts that pass inspection are turned back into... clay? protoplasm? scratch? and fed back onto the line... the rejected bits are fed into a shredder, and turn into dust. Duncan, who was apparently brain-damaged in an industrial accident of falling boxes (if we take the signs seriously) works on the factory's website for 40 years or more before it finally goes online - this seems to be the job that the factory's incompetents get: everyone has a role to play, even Duncan! When Duck proves to be ill-suited for the nonsensical factory work, he's sent to work with Duncan on the website - the job that the factory screw-ups have to do! - and proves to be incapable of being the office screw-up according to whatever arbitrary, child-like, dream-like logic the factory operates under. Which brings us back to the silly song, and to the remark calling back the love episode and telling Yellow Guy that he's doing love wrong if he's trying to love just anything he wants... or, to call back to the very first DHMIS short: "Green is not a creative colour!" These songs are filled with blatant lies, especially concerning how much freedom of choice these characters - described by their creators as "puppets", I believe, even though Red Guy obviously isn't a "puppet" in any traditional sense - would actually be permitted! The three main characters are told by the Talking Briefcase that they can be whatever they want to be, do whatever they want to do... once our characters are given an opportunity to speak for themselves, Yellow Guy suggests something practical and outdoorsy - growing trees to cut down to make sheds - while Duck suggests an idealistic and creative job of making a digital currency based on respect. And Red Guy? He just wants to do nothing at all. Naturally, these are not "creative colours" - they can't take just any job they actually want, they have to save themselves for their Special One, which, it seems, is working in a surreal, nonsense factory, where Yellow Guy makes something nonsensical and impractical, Green Guy gets shuffled around a workplace where nobody respects him. And Red Guy? Well, he actually DOES get to do "nothing at all" all day, but it doesn't really seem to be a particularly fulfilling kind of "nothing at all" on his terms: he has to put on a "smart boy" suit and shout at people until he's old and grey and fat - it's a kind of "nothing at all" that comes with a lot of stress, responsibility, and not a lot of freedom of choice, where Red Guy seems like he'd really have been happier just hanging around the house with his friends just talking all night, or just randomly going on a road trip or moving to a new city on a whim, or whatever - something much freer than being transformed into a Mr. Peterson. It's almost like, at least in some of these scenarios, the songs set up little traps for the characters: dangling little sugary promises of free choice or fulfillment in front of the characters, only to snatch that away from them and push a nightmarish substitute at them instead, whether it's family, love, friendship, jobs, creativity, transportation, or whatever. And that reminds me of some of the peripheral media related to DHMIS, such as interviews with the creators or cast where the Roy character (Yellow Guy's "dad") says something ominous about punishing his boy, or the "Amazing World of Gumball" episode that the DHMIS creators helped make, where we find the cartoon's main characters getting trapped in a DHMIS-style nightmare world that was actually created by the characters' abandoned childhood hand-puppets, who now resent their creators and try to play with them like puppets in terrible games.... That seems to follow a similar pattern to the role the LE5L3Y character from DHMIS plays, as some sort of mad god running an insane puppet show featuring Yellow Guy (her favorite), Red Guy, and Duck.... That, I think, sounds a LOT like the best description I can think of for what is happening in this show: our heroes are barely aware that they are characters in a nightmare puppet show performed by lunatic gods! Which puts a weird remark from the Talking Briefcase in an entirely new light: that line where the Briefcase describes doing the Right Job as making you feel like an "angel".... And it also recalls a weird remark made by the Table Lamp in the Death episode of DHMIS, when Yellow Guy asks... thin air? the audience? the universe? what happens when we die. The Table Lamp wakes up, and describes some sort of weird theory about how we descend to some sort of cavern near the center of the earth, where we are forced to perform a little show - reliving our lives - for a shadowy race of super-beings called The Council, who will pay us with "a pound" every time we get it right. The lamp then abruptly tells Yellow Guy "good night" and shuts itself off, instead of presenting an inane (but catchy) little song like these sorts of characters normally would.... It was a very strange and unsettling little scene, at least to me, sort of a weird mirror-image to the the bizarre "Big Boy Rooms" upstairs universes in the Electricity finale.... And, it also mirrors more directly the jobs episode, where Duck is rewarded with a coin in his eye after starring in his little performance of his life, punctuated by wondering what was accomplished by it, what it was all for.... "You earned this!" Reliving their lives over and over, episode after episode, until they get it "right" according to the standards of some deranged cosmic "Council", seems to actually be the characters' real job here, one that (barely) makes more sense than whatever they were doing in the factory: LE5L3Y alludes to in a voice-over at the end of the Transportation episode, and Red Guy himself alludes to it regarding the little show-within-a-show with the old man and his dog, who always makes his appointments and ends up back where he started at the end of each episode, no matter what happens before then: these characters are stuck in some sort of formula they must adhere to, or things go very wrong, and they get their "pound" and start over whenever they get things "right". (No wonder Red Guy would really rather do nothing at all, and seems to dread it when the little "angels" show up to tell them what to think - what to perform - about banking or vegetables or whatever!) It's kind of a cosmic horror story, really. Red Guy, losing his normal composure in the intro song for the Friendship episode: "We live in an actual NIGHTMARE!" Anyway, the show from the very beginning seems to return to a fairly consistent theme of the characters being told they can be creative or go anywhere or do anything, only to get shut down when they test the limits of that claim, and are instead run through a more sad, nightmarish, and disappointing substitute that delivers anything but creativity, or love or freedom or whatever.

The therapy bit was definitely interesting to me. The "I'm not stressed, I'm unemployed" almost has a double meaning to me because I feel like a lot of times, people get diagnosed with various mental illnesses when the actual issue they're dealing with is poverty or the stress of low income living. People are given all these kind of "coping mechanisms" to deal with that struggle because the actual root of the problem CANNOT be addressed without changing the way society itself works. DHMIS manages to fit so much meaning and satire into such short segments, it's genuinely very impressive.

Personally I think governments are better on smaller scale. And let's be honest.

Because they're meant for relief of day to day stress and maintaining remission of mood disorders. (Let me preface by saying I'm not accusing you of thinking the following. It's just an explanation of why healthcare providers make certain decisions. ) I know that to many, it may seem stupid for a patient's primary care provider to ask about what they've tried to deal with stress. But if I had a dime for every time a patient has come in complaining of anxiety and insomnia, only to discover they're drinking three cans of Monster and playing something like Fortnite for 5 hours every night, I could pay off all my student loans. If it's their first time being seen for such things, being told about sleep hygiene, moderate exercise, and no caffeine after 3pm is what a caring, responsible physician would do. Many people have this notion that refusing to write a Rx for diazepam or zolpidem right out of the gate means a doctor doesn't care. The same is true for refusing to prescribe them for longer than 10-30 days. Especially if the patient doesn't genuinely need them. (Note: emphasis on *genuinely.*) To be clear, I'm not talking about patients who are establishing continuing care with a new provider and already carry a diagnosis. But you should still engage in recreational and self care activities as part of your treatment plan. The best results are obtained from combining therapy, meds, and self care. It also helps keep you on the lowest effective dose of any medications. Psych meds have become so common place that a lot of people view them as innocuous and benign. But they're not. To give them to a person who doesn't need them is a violation of one's responsibilities as a prescriber.

​@@guymanperson1. I'm pretty sure that comment was on the original video on here.

Duck resembles a grandfather, but is still quite immature, he likely is a child who is imitating his grandfather. Red, on the other hand, Instinctively went to answer the phone. He always answers the phone when it rings. It's his responsibility to be the connection tot he outside world. Where does he take them jn the travel episdoe?

Thank you so much! wanted to put more time into these as the show deserves it

I really like your interpretation of this episode! One of the small bits you went on at 14:15 with bird taking the hat off of the tin dude I feel represents how employees feel on the inside. On the outside you're supposed to show full on pure niceness with customer service but mentally you're exhausted. I've been there when it came to horrible customers and managers, the fear of losing my job kept me straight with a facade that nothing negative bothered me. Which of course was not the case. Theres that quote "customer is always right" and I can't really remember what the exact quote my old boss told me but it was similar to "happy wife, happy life" but replace the wife with boss. There's only so much an employee can take before it really becomes mentally/physically damaging to them. And the fact companies similar to what the care hound offers not so much in help to the employees but more of a safety net to the company itself. I hope you finish all the episodes for dhmis, this a series I really enjoy from you when I first found out about your channel! Really good work!!

that's exactly what I was thinking too!

I'm so glad to see an analysis on DHMIS jobs. I love the series as a whole, each with different reasons. This analysis feels like I discovered DHMIS for the first time which as someone who grew up on the original series is a strange but welcomed feeling. I just wish someone talks about the theme of jobs. Oh wait, i'm someone!

My favorite part about this episode was when Yellow Guy said, "he's one of those ones with one of himself." I died there

I don't think the water is water I think it's hot coffee hot coffee will keep you productive and that's what a workplace wants you to be

You're right.

I'm training to be "the one who spends all day with the sad ones". Also did anyone else notice at the end of the first segment of the song (when Mr briefcase goes into the cupboard) it says "you can be the one who digs a hole for a funeral", foreshadowing the next episode?

I took the 40 year time jump to be something along the lines of settling for a mundane job and wasting your life before you realise it. Duck previously commenting that they'd only been there for 9 minutes is more or less correct if you look at the timebar, and so things move so fast that you can miss years in the blink of an eye.

Just a thought about the care hound it could be a metifore/representation of the work places care for mental health, and how they don't care about the actual improvement of their workers but just enough that it doesn't hinder the work flow

MAN i had not noticed that roy was literally watching through a hole in the wall like that. thats so creepy

missed the foreshadowing of when they get on the workplace and ask for the briefcase guy they point at the med kit wich is reveled to be the briefcase guy at the end

Here's my theory on this show: I think that the show isn't trying to give us education about certain things but instead it's showing us the horrors that you feel when that certain thing is shown. It's suppose to make you feel unsettled and discerned about what is real and what isn't

This review is probably one of the best I've seen. A really nice expansion for after watching Zellendust's review, which are just first impressions. Well done dude, I'm willing to wait a while for the next episode. (Zellendust speaks spanish btw, just in case you want to watch his own review)

Oh. I'm having a super hard time at work right now. I'm homeless, and fleeing an unsafe living situation. My store manager knows this, and keeps threatening to fire me because I was staying with a coworker who offered a place to stay since I was already hospitalized from a suicide attempt due to my living situation. It isn't against company policy for me to stay with her, but my manager keeps lying and saying it is. I can't go to HR, because I can't reach them and was never told all the information I would need. I had a full breakdown at work when I saw I wasn't on the schedule for the next week at all because of the fear of being fired when it is the only thing I have supporting me and my dog. This kind of helped motivate me to keep fighting her.

While watching the intro for the first time I noticed that the last group of portrait shown, the oval ones on the table, looked like the ones you see at funerals or that like grandmas have of their loved ones that passed away. I just thought it was a cool detail, maybe to imply they really did everything together, like the darker things that happen in the show.

I don't know why nobody said it but to me the black and hot water could very well represent coffee and how it's related to work culture

The video on episode 2 will be out next week, subscrob and hit the bell to be notified for the other parts and together we can get creative 💚 also gonna try working on getting the balance right between commentary and over explaining with the next one (edit: just wanna say I know there are several connections to the web series throughout the show but I want this video to be accessible to people who haven’t watched it and the 2 kind of seem like their own things so probs won’t be covering them unless it’s a separate video, plus I ramble on enough teehee)

Sounds strange but to me red always seemed a bit more like a squid type like he was sort of plucked out of the ocean and put into this house

This is a good analysis. One thing I always found interesting about the original KZread series was how their core traits were their downfall as everything started falling apart - the red one is too apathetic to be caught up in how fun the internet is in DHMIS 4 which makes him investigate and discover the true nature of their world, the bird one keeps questioning the nonsense in DHMIS 5 leading to the teachers killing him and forcing his friend to eat him, and in DHMIS 6 we see that Yellow is being put through what would be eternal torment if not for Red saving him all because his childlike innocence makes him unable to oppose the teacher. I like how they kept a similar thing in the KZread series, but fleshed everything out more.

I think the episodes do actually teach their lesson and this ep teaches how some people treat jobs some people enjoy it and some people don't fit in and some people don't like work

thank god im not the only one who hears Alex from I Hate Everything when Red Guy speaks. great video!

It’s funny how when they ask if they’ve seen a weird briefcase man around here, the one dude perfectly points him out without missing a beat. They could’ve just heard the song through instead of pausing for 40 years if they had listened

Your analysis on this episode was great! I can’t wait for the rest!

Why has nobody mentioned how you called red guy the straight man of the group? Also I’m only 3:52 in and I can tell that you are way too underrated.

After the song about being anything you want to be being forced to work in a place which you didn’t want to makes sense. You get hyped about your goals and then are forced into something else against your own will. A perfect lesson.

The black water feels more just like a mockery of coffee, which itself is hot brown water.

I love the JAR media podcast and I feel SO heard that you thought red guy was Alex, finally someone else thought that

Comment for algorithm. But this is best analysis I've seen in so long! I love how you actually try to think about it. Not that others don't. But I like how much farther you go

great analysis! Was recommended the video on the family episode by you and am now going through all your dhmis series so far :-) very well done

Thanks for covering this show, I've seen it like 4 times and you've pointed out a lot of stuff I totally missed.
