Same here. The gore and violence is tamer than Happy Tree Friends.

Oh yeah I remember Happy Tree Friends.

Say, are you familiar with the theories for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared?

And when Gumball referenced DHMIS?

I don't watch Gumball. I have listened to theories that they were all kidnapped by Roy and all the 6 episodes happened in just one day, which is June 19. By the very end of the 6th episode, the characters swap colors and the date changed to June 20.

It is believed this is meant to represent how creativity is controlled and restrained to send in messages. Each song has some kind of message to teach, but has a twist to make it fit a narrative and agenda in the end. Something to note is that the first song done by The Notepad, at the end the Notepad regretted the lesson he taught them, something never seen in the following songs. This song also has some key things, what you mentioned the colors, show the original ideas that they had, their own creativity. In the song about time, they attempt to try and ask bigger important questions, to which the clock responds vaguely and dodging the question, then when The Duck tries to explain things again, The Clock yells until Duck's ears bleed. When Red Guy is taken from the show, the following episode we see a scrapbook with him seemingly have gone to and graduated college. When a character is axed from an adult show, the usual in universe cause is death. In a kids show however, they rarely kill off in universe, so college is a good reason for why we never see them anymore. A famous example is Steve from Blue's Clues. When he left the show, our last episode we got to see him getting accepted to college and heading off to his new life. This would support that this is a kids show being manipulated, In the food episode, we see them trying to push unhealthy eating habits, something junk food producers would love to influence children. At the end, Red Guy disconnects the corporate control and we see in the last thing that all is different. No longer bound by corporation, all the expensive props are gone, everyone got to be the color they wanted, their favorite creative color, and then the song begins, possibly a new song without an agenda filter.

Interesting. Not only does the show have a high production value, but it also has concepts that are well-thought-out. Huge props to the team! 👍🏻

They certainly did an incredible job with this. It was creative and unique in all the ways they went at it, their puppets, their animation, it was excellent
