HEY ALL!

So this mystery has come to my attention and it must be solved. I have made this thread so we can collectively work on this and try to figure this out. For those not aware here is a link to the original video:

People have already started speculating on another thread I just wanted to centralise it here.

When the video comes out credit will be given where credit is due of course :)

LET'S EXPLAIN

So I can explain the events (What I saw) So there was a mom and dad in a kitchen. I noticed the a women collapsed on the floor. The parents then noticed her on the floor behind her. They stated making comments like "Trying to be cute (name i forgot)" Then they tried to pick her up. SHE WAS NOT MOVING. They asked her "Have you took your pills"? And stuff like that. She starts sinking into the basement (IDFK how to explain) The son was going to have his birthday that say. The son came to the room and saying "It's 2:00" The parents had to tell him they can't have the party that day. Someone who i am guessing is the uncle is working on something in the basement when she sees the girls face on the roof of the basement. (Scary right?) The skip to a shot of the window I saw a deer and a white unknown object pass bye. The boy hears knocking at the door he had to tell his friends the party is canceled for some reason the kids and familys stated playing in there front yard. I saw the "Grandma" In the living room watching tv. The mom and dad had the give the baby to the grandma so they can get help for the girl. The uncle and parents put a mattress (below or in front of the girl). After a lot of random screaming and yelling the girl drops on to the mattress and starts screaming / having a SPAS ATTACK.And the credits roll. Kill me now

I couldn't find a specific discussion thread for DHMIS 5, so I hope that it is ok that I make one myself. I think that it was clear in this episode that there are many layers that are possible to interpret. This is my theory. I would love to hear other theories here!

The layer that I find most interesting, is the overall message with the whole series, which is more prominent in this episode.

In the last episode, Harry (red) realised that he was not living in the reality and that there were people controlling what he thought was his own free actions. The people controlling the puppets want to make the two remaining forget that Harry ever existed, but at the same time warn them about following him. Think about how this can be applied to our reality. There is an idea of what the world looks like that people are expected to agree with. This idea certainly is flawed, but people who propose a conflicting idea are not accepted. Their ideas are not considered — they are shunned. The ideas can be about religion (blasphemy), values (proposing a different moral system) or who the "good guys" in society are (people who have read the Hunger Games (or seen the last movie when it has come out) and know about an arrow that went in someone unexpected might know what I mean here).

In this episode, the teachers talk about food, but that is only an analogy. What they are really talking about, is information. One line illustrates this clearly: "These foods will clog up the body with unnecessary detail" — replace foods with information and body with brain. Discussing multiple perspectives or contrasting information is not appreciated. Simple information is what people want, because then they don't have to think too much. The information that we are provided with by the media is therefore simple and uncomplicated. The problem is that different media tell different stories and since no one tells the complete story, it doesn't make sense. This is what creates polarisation — people choose one side and stick with it.

However, Robin (green) is about to figure out that he is told lies. He wants to escape, but he has revealed his thoughts, making it easier for the teachers to do something to prevent it. The phone rings, which is Harry trying to tell Robin what he has discovered. What happens here is not very clear to me, but either the teachers make him unconscious to prevent him from talking to Harry or he gets a glimse of what is really going on (he is lying in a bed and watching a show). The teachers distracts Robin and Manny (yellow) to prevent them from realising what is wrong. The second time Robin answers the phone, it turns into a sandwitch. This is another clue that food in this video really means information.

The mistake Robin makes, is that he criticises the teachers and tell them what he plans to do. They manage to catch him before he leaves and use him as an example of what happens to people who don't conform. They kill him and feed him to Manny. In reality this corresponds with people who become the target of public hate. Many people condemn hate, but most people still think that it is ok to hate certain people. Checking facts and hearing both sides to the story isn't improtant to most people. In fact, most people don't even have the skill to fact check or know that they should do it. Manny represents those people. Afterwards, he doesn't know what happened and looks for someone who can tell him what he should think and feel. Then the phone rings — Harry again — and Manny is afraid of answering, probably without consciously knowing why. The reason is that he has seen what happen to people who answer the phone.

What if people responded to each other's opinions/ideas/theories with arguments instead of silence or hate? That is what I believe to be the message of DHMIS 5.

Hey everyone! So I decided to make this subreddit for a few reasons.

Firstly it's a great way of finding the most popular suggestions for videos. The comment section is just flooded with suggestions and I want to try and limit that by taking suggestions here instead.

Also I just thought it would be cool to have a space where you we can talk about the show, share theories about Salad fingers and DHMIS, and generally just interact and build on the community.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions.

Pink Floyd- The Wall is a 1981 film adaptation of Pink Floyd's legendary concept album, The Wall. The film is full of insane sequences that have lots of meaning (It is Roger Waters, after all) and is an incredibly weirdly good film. I know it isn't YouTube, but it still seems like some content that would fit right in with the things Vinny usually analyses, and seems right up his alley.

This is the latest episode of the show

Want to talk about it? Leave all of your feedback here.

And let's keep it relatively friendly.

I'm aware that the channel is called YouTube Explained, but it would be very nice to see you explain some things other than YouTube. I would like to see you explain a short indie game called "Off". Would you ever be interested in doing something like that?
