Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

This is the first episode in the DHMIS series, starring the Sketchbook. It was uploaded on July 28th, 2011.

Summary
The episode begins a title card with the episode's name on it. The camera then pans over several objects in the room, such as a calendar saying "June 19", and a notepad saying "Get Creative". It then focuses on the protagonists, Yellow Guy, Red Guy and Duck Guy. The notepad then comes to life, to surprise the protagonists. It begins singing about creativity, and teaches the puppets about such. The Sketchbook makes them some innocent "creative" tasks, such as making them look at clouds. However, when Yellow Guy paints a picture of a clown, they pour black paint over it, and claim green's not a creative colour. The Sketchbook then states "Let's get creative!", and it cuts to a innocent montage of the puppets getting creative. However, suddenly, the camera zooms out, revealing the studio recording the short. The montage soon then grows disturbing, the music distorting and the previously innocent tasks now involve in human organs and death. The room then returns as it was before, and the Sketchbook states "Now let's all agree, to never be creative again".
