dhmis·Don't Hug Me I'm ScaredbyCumbrianCucumber

The Don't Hug Me I'm Scared YouTube channel is active again!

It looks like both the main DHMIS YouTube channel and the Channel 4 channel are promoting DHMIS clips on YouTube shorts, for the first time since the TV show aired 3 years ago!

Obviously, a couple of years ago Becky and Joe made it official that there's no DHMIS currently in development, so it would be crazy to assume this is some kind of confirmation of a series 2, but I'm still hopeful! That was a year and a half ago now, and it's pretty common nowadays to use YouTube and social media to gauge interest in a show in case they'd want to bring it back! Also, the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared YouTube channel doesn't really upload anything unless they have a damn good reason to! They didn't even promote their own TV show until a couple of weeks before it was aired.

Also of course the DHMIS TV show became international via the website a year and a half ago, so it has a much bigger audience now!

RIP Rob Grant

To those who don't know, Rob Grant - one of Red Dwarf's two main writers - passed away recently on the 25th February. He had co-written every episode of Red Dwarf for the first six series. Rob had also worked on Spitting Image in the 80s and had written several Red Dwarf novels, including one that is set to be released on July of this year. Look out for Red Dwarf: Titan.

Rest in peace you genius! It's better to have loved and lost, than to have listened to an album by Olivia Newton-John

Is Digimon relevant again?

Does anyone else feel like new life has been breathed into the Digimon franchise in the last few years?

The anime's coming back more often without 4-6 year gaps between the series

Digimon Story: Time Stranger has been received amazingly well, and according to Google Trends, more

people were searching Digimon during its release than any time since 2004!

Disenfranchised Pokemon fans are giving Digimon another chance after Pokemon's recent quality

Digimon's overarching message that the Digital world is an amazing place, but is full of threats and constantly under attack goes really hard in the 2020s

I'm not sure if it's just my algorithm, but I feel like more people on YouTube and social media are talking about Digimon again

Or did Digimon never stop being relevant any I'm just starting to see more of it again?

Anyone remember the Amazing World of Gumball episode written by Becky and Joe?

It was really funny and surprisingly creepy and had Don't Hug Me I'm Scared's auteurism written all over it!

The more time goes by, the more surprised I am that it ever actually happened, that writers of a kid's show looked at DHMIS and thought "let's ask them to make an episode!"
