About "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared"

[speadee]

Near the end of January 2014, I learned about the videos of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling so I decided to see what they were about.  I found them weird, with some parts not making much sense.  Many people said it was scary, but I felt annoyed and grossed out instead.

Since then, I’ve read and watched many interesting explanations regarding the video content, but I still don’t get the title.  Which characters are scared and getting hugs?

Redd Fawkes explained some good and interesting interpretations of the title and content in his video, which I found to be scary.

However, it was weird, and I didn’t really agree, so I still don’t get what the title is about.
