Red Guy

"I wonder what will happen."

-Red Guy

Red Guy [1] [2][3] is one of the main protagonists in the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared videos, along with Duck Guy and Yellow Guy. He resembles no known creature or thing. He is voiced by Joe Pelling. He is commonly nicknamed "Harry" by the fandom.

At the end of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4, his head explodes from seeing previous episodes being filmed. On Becky Sloan's Instagram she posted two videos containing Red Guy confirming he is not dead. After that he can be seen at the end of Episode 5 during the credits.

He is walking away from a telephone booth, which probably means that he was calling home, so Duck Guy and Yellow Guy could escape.

He played a major role in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 6, resetting the cycle. In episode 6, he was in a world filled with versions of himself in suits for a majority of the episode, before finding the control machine.

Red Guy is now his canon name, as revealed in the sixth episode on his bosses name tag.

Characteristics

Appearance

He is red and has long hair that covers his face and neck. Unlike Yellow Guy and Duck Guy, he doesn't wear any clothes. Red Guy is the tallest of the main trio. He has red, yarn-like hair that covers his head and two eyes on top of his head. His whole body is red. In the sixth episode he wears a suit until he takes it off to sing on stage. Unlike most characters, he is played by a person in a costume rather than a puppet.

Personality

That sounds really boring

"That sounds really boring."

Out of all of his friends, he is the most mature, sarcastic, sharp-witted and seems to have the most common sense of the 3 puppets. He often makes sarcastic comments to the teachers. In Episode 4 he becomes enemies with Colin the computer. Red Guy seems to be pessimist of the three puppets, as he doesn't show much interest in the lessons, and would rather go about his own business. It is possible that he is older or more mature than the other two protagonists.

Just like Duck Guy, he cares about Yellow Guy, as seen in the third episode when they give him the last boiled egg in order to prove their friendship. He was really bored and hard to interest in the fourth episode, as seen with his sarcasm. He seems to grow impatient with the teachers, finally standing up to Colin in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4.

In Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 6, he seems to miss the lessons, and even tries to sing the "Creativity Song", but is booed.
