Gotta love how Warren is the only teacher that barely gets attention out of the entire series and when he does get the attention he wants from the main 3, they just roast the ever living hell out of him
then even the computer joins in, it gets me everytime lmao
@@mattster693 He looks like a tumor!
To me I hate him
@@KENNYTHEGHOST777 You're supposed to hate him
Yeah 😂😂
Warren struck a nerve with me because I had a toxic friend EXACTLY like him. He would whine constantly that people didn’t give him enough attention, verbally abused the ones who did, threw pity parties for himself constantly, played the victim like playing a fiddle, complains about the people who eventually pushed him away (including me), acted like he knew better than anyone and didn’t respect any boundary that didn’t apply to him. The dude threw a massive fit because a fictional character of his got voted off of a fictional reality show and harassed the creator, anyone who criticized him for it and threatened to off himself because of it (also began posting delusional texts saying that the character actually won)
The final straw was when a mutual friend of ours died from cancer and used that to make it about him.
yeah it's a type of toxicity we don't see a lot of in media "the toxic victim-complex"
@@ComradeSeanski livia soprano vibe.
Jeez, I didn't know you were friends with Cartman. Good on you to cut them out of your life
Jesus christ that's the most disturbing thing I've read all day.
b-bfdi??!???
What I think its the reason why the protagonists don't give a frick about Warren is because he isn't a real teacher, he was fired, so he technically doesn't have the same type of position than the rest.
He’s definitely my favorite teacher in the new series. The Briefcase is a close second though.
“That’s not a job! That’s a welt!”
‘Is that true?’
*yEeEs*
Are you gay?
Yep
I love how even Yellow Guy can't be tricked by Warren
Aside from Warren,all other teachers at the least manage to trick someone of the trio, meanwhile,Warren wasn't even able to trick Yellow Guy ( *the dumbest of them all* [without the batteries]),also, there's his lesson - unlike all the other lessons from other teachers, Warren's lesson is already known by the trio and (once again) even Yellow knows that
If you can't even trick Yellow,you have a problem
yellow guy was tricked by warren at first (warren censoring red guy & duck’s words so that it seems like they insulted him) but at the same time he also didnt trust him.
its like he knew warren was wrong, but he still couldnt keep him out of his head. just like real social anxiety.
This supports my personal theory that Warren isn’t really meant to be “one of the teachers”. Not that I know any underlying lore or anything 🤷♂️
@@Kashi_Mochibean “not one of the teachers”? like he just snuck in there and started teaching things against lesley’s will? that would actually make a lot of sense
@@burntalphabetsoup6772 it’s just a head canon but I like to think that a worm somehow made it in the doll house and messed some stuff up and Lesley based warren off that worm and made him as unlikable as possible
You know I honestly don't think that yellow guy is all that much stupider than the other two. There's nothing he isn't done it's just that the others are also pretty dumb
fun thing I noticed in warren's song is when his friends "try to apologize" it's clear he doctored the picture to make it seem like they were sad to see him go (his mental gymnastics at work)- remove the pen marks and their just staring at him probably wondering what the hell his problem is
My favorite teachers in the series are probably Todney and Lily for how over-the-top creepy they are, with their slightly crooked eyes; their voices that barely speak above a whisper; and their obvious inspiration from horror classics like The Shining and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
They taught me that I can’t be part of a real family unless I have a landline. I’ve got a lot of phone company research to do.
My favorite is Electracey
Those two are cute, in a strange, creepy way
@@mediamementosofficial hi Trevor
Please character quest brak
@@KENNYTHEGHOST777 Thanks for the suggestion, but I don’t take requests.
Colin is 100% my favorite teacher in DHMIS. He was probably the least harmful teacher in the original and he's hilarious and kinda sweet in the new series
I still think that notebook/notepad/whateverhernameis from the first episode was the least harmful. She didnt do anything other than be rude, which even colin does. Not to mention, he litterally, trapped yellow guy and duck into the virtual world and... I dont really know how to explain what happend in the virtual world, it was weird.
But in terms of humor and characterization he is 100% the best. And his song fucking slaps
@@djneonreaper4990 I think the notepad was more harmful than the computer because of the end of the get creative song. She induced whatever that was to discourage them from being creative. Colin just got them into the virtual world to teach them about the internet and it just went wrong when they got too distracted with ✨digital dancing✨. tbh all the teachers in dhmis are kinda iconic tho
@@sagevcf I think Colin, intentionally or not, acted as a gateway to trap yellow and duck in the virtual world. It's honestly kinda hard to tell if Colin was malicious or not. The only real intentional malicious acts he does is rudely interrupt red guy, yellow guy, and the globes lesson. I'd say sketchbook was less malicious, even if their lesson was stifling their creativity.
@@sagevcf I’ve always seen that bizarre gory part of creativity as the main three going way too far and being total weirdos, possibly because Sketchbook made them misinterpret creativity, but I dunno.
The way that she just tells them to never be creative again with that thousand yard stare always made me think that they frightened her with what they did. It would also make sense since it was the first episode and the whole thing is just kinda weird and a little different.
@@MixxedBerries in the original series the main 3 (especially red guy) never really seem to willingly be involved or enthusiastic about the lesson so I don't think they would take it too far
Choo Choo won me over with his lord of the rings description of oil
Sounded like what I’d imagine a post apocalyptic shaman calls oil to the rest of the village, the shaman being the last man to have lived in an age where oil was plentiful.
You mean raisins?
Honestly, what is scary is that we are probably met a WARREN in our life in some way
favorite teacher for me definitely Electracey the meter
she's so energetic and fun and in a vacuum does have a slight idea with what shes talking about, she doesn't contradict herself and her lesson is only cut short because duck switches her batteries
and even after her battery swap where shes confused and slurred she's still vaguely trying to teach about electricity (poorly explaining what a tariff and trying to tell red and duck that electricity can't power everything)
and in general shes just my favorite designed teacher, she's adorable looking
yes to all of this
She is also one of my favorites because she actually had a lesson. They were actually interested in the lesson and learned something new, that they didn’t already know. And she also had a banger song too. We all wish we had a teacher like Electracey who would actually explain a subject good while playing a electric guitar.
While we don’t know what is really going on in the show, I don’t think Warren is actually one of the “teachers”, hence his very different presence and Collin being so negative toward him.
Collin may be the “teacher” of this day/loop, and the Warren might not necessarily “suppose” to be there, if you get what I’m trying to say. He’s probably a separate entity, like Stain I reckon.
Though I could be totally wrong
Also notice that many of the teachers kinda target yellow guy in one way or another. Like destroying his clown picture and calling his favorite color non creative in the first of the original series or when the coffin says he doesn’t like his singing, etc.
But while yellow guy is the most effected by Warren, he’s targeted in a very different way. It doesn’t seem as actively malicious and begins from a place of “helping”
Also unlike the teachers he doesn’t succeed in fooling anyone. His message is less backwards and confusing and moreso just hypocritical, tone-deaf, and unauthoritative.
The goals of the teachers are unknown and it is regularly implied they seek to cause distraction such as by appearing in a mirror or gps. While Warren has his motivations as described in the video and even a sense of backstory
Me, Colin, a computer
Warren still comes with valuable lessons that should be used amongst friends. It just doesn’t seem that way considering he’s a huge hypocrite
This is a good headcanon: In the 4th episode of the web series, the globe was likely the teacher of the episode, but got cut off by Collin.
Then, in episode four of the TV series, it would've been Collins actual episode, but then Warren showed up.
My favorite's Colin because he goes from chaotic evil in the webseries to chaotic good in the TV show. Time Child is a very, very close runner up.
TIME CHILD
Episode 4 was my favourite episode of the web series,so I’m glad to see Colin get some more recognition in the tv series. And he’s a lot nicer to the main characters!
Hey guys drink this space alcohol and come with me to the sixth dimension!
They're not here.
Aw wot?
Warren is what is known as a Vulnerable Narcissist.
While having the Grandiose Narcissist's (what we commonly think of as a narcissist) selfishness, sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, and an excessive need for attention and admiration, the Vulnerable Narcissist differs in being introverted as a mask for their insecurities, being highly sensitive to criticism, their narcissistic rage is expressed more through grudges that come out as bitterness, resentment, and a desire for revenge, passive aggressiveness, become possessive and jealous of those they latch on to (usually partners), project blame on others (often in a more gentle approach), have low self esteem, and can seem willing to show compassion but only to serve their own ends (usually the reception of approval and validation).
I thought it was funny when warren was like "don't just force people to do what you want the whole time" while forcing the brain friends to listen to his podcast lol
Also my favourite teacher was the briefcase because he's so unhinged
I think when it comes to the web series, Sketchbook is my favorite. Mainly because they're one of the only teachers in the series that actually try to teach the main three, instead of trying to prusade them with nonsense and propaganda. The other teacher is Collin Computer. Though they both just get carried away.
For the TV show it probably has to be the Coffin. He feels less of a teacher and more of an average guy working a morbid 9-5. He also feels the most realistic, next to Warren. He tries to be professional and nice, but he doesn't really help with the grieving process and is kind of awkward like anyone would be at a funeral.
I love the coffin too. "Hey! Wow! I didn't like that!"
i lowkey disagree w the notebook bit but everything else i agree w u
just the way she insists green is not creative and turns art into something that has to be within her box (fucking up yellows clown, the super specific clouds wtc) imo shes the creepiest bc her messages are more hidden than the other webseries teachers
The way you described Warren perfectly matches an abusive friend I used to have. He could never take responsibility for his actions, constantly using his depression and anger as excuses for his abusive nature, threw temper tantrums when people called him out for his bullshit or refusing to cater to his massive, massive ego, and at one point when I tried to help him, he still wasn't satisfied and even said something bigoted in a fit of entitled, childish rage. I'm a pretty patient guy, but that was the first time I was genuinely angry at him, not because he was being an ungrateful brat, but because he had no qualms over saying something bigoted because he didn't get his way. When he "apologized", of course he used his depression as an excuse. Listen, guys, I understand that depression is no laughing matter, but this dude never did anything to better himself at all. The final straw was when he said my grandparents were delusional for believing in Creationism, and the dumb motherfucker had the nerve to be surprised when I told him to piss off. After I called him out for saying something bigoted again, he destroyed my self-esteem by saying I always made everything about me, that I was a special snowflake and an entitled jerk. I'm not gonna lie, I struggled with what he said for years, and I still am struggling with it. This just proves that verbal and emotional abuse can cause trauma just like physical abuse. Sometimes when I feel down about myself, I imagine it's him saying all this awful shit about me. But I refuse to think about that worthless piece of shit anymore. He's just like Warren, a cowardly, narcissistic worm living rent free in my brain. No fucking more. I refuse to let him hurt me anymore. He was a worm in my brain, but I'm tearing that fucker out and throwing him in the garbage where he belongs. And after we went our seperate ways, my real friends stood by me and helped me recover. I love them all so much. This is my favorite DHMIS episode not only because it's really funny, but it resonated with me on an emotional level. Fucking masterpiece.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with someone like that. Just know that the whole "entitled jerk" insult was projection. It's what people like him do best. Deep down they're too egotistical to acknowledge their own flaws, so they take the easy way out and essentially say "I'm not the problem, you are!" It doesn't say anything about you, but it certainly says everything about him. I wish you luck in recovering.
@@lavenderkismet4568 Thank you, I appreciate that. I’m doing a lot better these days, and I try not to think about him anymore. And you’re right, he was projecting when he said all that stuff about me. I mean, I’ve made mistakes and I’ve acted like a jerk before, but I’ve always tried to make up for it, you know? This guy, on the other hand, always acts like he’s right, and he has a massive victim complex. He thinks he’s being attacked all the time, but the truth is he’s just a bully. He even used sexually graphic insults towards his other “friends” when he got mad. And as someone with OCD, I do empathize with him because he suffers from depression, but he never, ever does a damn thing to actually better himself aside from dwelling in self-pity. When I suggested he get off the Internet for awhile and do something to take his mind off his depression as that would be good for him, he whined that I was telling him what to do. The guy is 34 years old, and he un-ironically said that. Anyway, thanks again for replying and being nice, I appreciate it.
You're not a worthless piece of shit, I am. :)
Forgive him. People like that can’t help struggle. View it as an illness
@@warrennicolson7345 You're right, it is an illness, and he does struggle. I've tried to forgive him, but every time I tried to give him another chance, it was a disappointment. And I understand his struggles, I have OCD, anxiety, and Asperger's. I also have trauma because of him. He always uses his depression, Asperger's, and anger as excuses for being an asshole, he has never done a thing to actually better himself. He just sits on the Internet all day, bullying people, making ranting pages on his social media, freaking out when people call him out for his bullshit, and has no remorse over telling people to kill themselves, but at the same time will play the victim. This guy makes the mentally ill and autistic communities look terrible by constantly using his disorders as excuses. He's a fucking coward who can never take responsibility for his own actions. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised he doesn't give a fuck about those communities considering he's called people "insane" or "retards" before, and he's also fond of gaslighting people. I can attest to that. This guy also makes pseudo-apologies over and over again. Ultimately, I just choose not to think about him. Maybe I'll forgive him someday, but thinking about the son of a bitch is just bad for my mental health.
Warren does give some solid advice such as you shouldn’t call your friends names and be rude to them, but the thing is he can’t follow that advice himself
I’m sadly a warren myself
Kind of a mix between reverend putty and warren actually
I lost one of my best friends because of the way I act, and the truth is you never really know how bad you are in the moment
It wasn’t until I saw the behavior portrayed by other people that I realized how I really was
Even if everyone else in my life tells me that I’m not a bad person I honestly can’t believe them after what my friend told me before she left
I hope she’s doing better now, and I hope one day we can be friends again, because i keep replaying those last moments over and over and I miss her
@Ethan and Jesus Productions Same
You're way more self conscious than warren, so atleast from a first impression, i think you're better off than the worm, i see room for self improvement, and i wish ya good luck
Warren could never be as self reflective and remorseful as your wonderful self ❤️ it’s so hard to admit something like that and i hope you forgive yourself :) you can’t change your past but it seems like you’re making amazing improvements in your future
same here.
it was much worse earlier this year, but im still worried that ive been slowly driving my friends away? im trying to work on getting better and im wanting to get better but im not very sure how yet.
Hmph! Women ☕
Wow, I came here because of ONE video you did, the episode that got Moral Orel cancelled, because I friggin' love Moral Orel, and I was like "what, someone besides *me* remembers Moral Orel?" And you just dove RIGHT into it and the way you dissected Alone, I was like "Boom, instant subscriber." And I've been enjoying the content ever since!
Now you're covering a DHMIS teacher? I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! :D
I can’t tell you how happy this comment makes me.
Warren's an incredibly vivid character with a unique dynamic to the guys who manages to be both funny and creepy for a lot of the reasons you highlighted so he's probably my favourite. Though two of my other faves are Shrignold the Butterfly, mainly cause I really like how DHMIS 3 handles the concept of love and how he manages to be one of the more malevolent teachers despite the lack of gore, and Mr Choo Choo, mainly cause he's got an incredibly over the top and endearing personality who appeals to my sense of humour.
I used to think I was a Warren because the worm in my brain told me that my friends hated the fact that I talked so much about myself and I was a narcissist. One day I couldn’t hold back on these thoughts anymore and spilled it to them in our group chat, and it wasn’t true at all. In fact, one of my friends said they were happy I talked about myself so much, and it wasn’t the equivalent of being narcissistic because I cared about everyone else too! Ever since then, I’ve never had any doubts again, they’re the best friend group I could ever ask for!
TLDR: I thought I was a narcissist and my friends secretly hated me but they always loved me and I was being too hard on myself.
The worm in my brain tells me that I cant pull off wearing denim but I just tell it to pipe down
The worm in my brain tells me if I died my friends wouldn’t miss me because I talk too much but occasionally I know that it’s just stupid
@@Hydrophobiqe That's right, tell the worm in your brain to pipe down!
@@Hydrophobiqeeff em if they complain about how much u talk, get yourself some friends who can keep up with your amazing mind, if not u can hit me up, we'll talk for hours until you run out of things to say! Give yourself some love! And write down things you wanna talk about, who knows maybe you'll be the next internet superstar uwu
Why does everyone put the TLDR at the end??
This wasn't my favorite episode of the bunch (I've known too many "Warrens" in my time lol), but I'm just so happy we got more DHMIS. And I'm glad they went in a different direction than the Clayhill trailer/pilot, this show doesn't really need continuity.
From what we saw in episode 6, there’s a very real chance that the lack of continuity could _itself_ be continuity.
With the very likely exception of “Wakey Wakey”. Perhaps you noticed that brief de-canonization in episode 5?
@@kylestubbs8867 I did notice that! That was also probably my favorite episode too, I like to think that it's poking fun at the very long history of Thomas the Tank Engine.
I think it's just always going to be open to interpretation though, like my friend saw the finale as a tragedy, but I saw it as an analogy for destroying the "show bible" of the world. And there's nowhere left to go but up (literally, with that last glimpse of the secret staircase). It's nice to have a show that doesn't get bogged down in lore and backstory, it's just entertainment for entertainment's sake.
Yup. He was a total narcissist.
He was more than a narcissist dude was an egocist that had a vendetta if you even dared to try an run away from him..
@@Shattered_Spirit Holy shit, you just put into words just how Warren reminds me too much of someone. She was obsessive and couldn't take no for an answer, she repeatedly broke my boundaries in her attempts to have a romantic relationship with me that would've likely just been me being a one way emotional support/emotional punching bag depending on the day. She weaponized her mental health issues and forced her way into every conversation in her desperate need for attention. Warren really reminds me of how she was just generally unpleasant, but also borderline scary in a way that's hard to describe why or how so. Serious props to DHMIS for capturing that vibe so perfectly.
My favorite teacher is -Unemployed Brendan- Brendan, I can relate.
My favorite teacher is definitely Colin, since he’s really not a bad guy and is actually trying before things go to hell. Plus, he’s just really funny.
Sometimes I worry that I'm like Warren because I care about friends a lot more then most people do, which can make me quite clingy and demanding of attention, and I know I can be a hypocrite and self-centred at times. Even now I'm making this about myself. But I really do try my best to be a good friend and a good person, even if my best doesn't seem to be enough.
The desire to vent about how no one loves me as much as I need them to is incurable
Try not to worry too much about your friends. There's a time where people need to depart and that's ok
Clearly you have self awareness which is something Warren lacks, in other words, I think you should not worry
Warren is a character that makes you stop and analyse your own behaviour just to make sure it doesn't line up. Like., I'm pretty sure I never kidnapped anyone and forced them to be my mother so I could afford a bucket of chicken.
What's ironic is Warren's friendship lessons are actually useful. The problem being his lack of self-awareness
I'd argue that Unemployed Brendon is the most reliable character in the entire series.
Funnily enough, two of my favourite teachers are in that very episode; Warren and Colin.
Also, I just think it's awesome that Colin comes back as a friend and not as an antagonist.
It’s entirely possible that, among the first slew of teachers. Colin was a good guy. His simulation gave Red Guy a means of escaping, then trying to rescue his friends from outside.
"Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?"
Marcus Aurelius
My own personal headcanon about Warren The Eagle is that because he was fired from "Ok Stop", he's not an official employee and unlike other teachers he has no control over the trio
Warren sounds like the kind of person who gets bullied in school, leaves and joins an mlm and then tries sell people who dont like them the mlm products
What's neat is that in episode 2 warren is foreshadowed in duck's newspaper. If you look at the bottom of it before he puts it down, you can see a headline reading "worm fired for harassment." They weren't "bad mates" or anything like that; it was 100% his fault
Well, if they _were_ bad mates, it’s only because he was a worse mate.
I really dislike people like Warren because i had a friend like him and she was such an emotional vampire that 90%of our conversations were about her. I am glad i met her because now i can recognize this kind of behavior emidiately and because I've met her I've realized the importance of healthy boundaries.
Well, Warren was _made_ to be disliked. TV Tropes would designate him as a “Hate Sink”.
the only thing in this video i didn't know was that episode 2 foreshadowed his existence
It foreshadows the power outage in Episode 6 too, with the "blackout leads to power outage" right above it on the front page
*"I am become warren, destroyer of frendships"*
It’s hard to get what the moral is, because on one hand the teacher gets bullied by the good guys to the point of crying, but on the other hand the teacher is a bad guy.
Well, his being bullied by the main cast isn’t _why_ he’s the bad guy. Even among other teachers, he comes across as someone who lacks self-confidence and uses brute-force methods to validate himself.
@@kylestubbs8867 Exactly.
i remember a friend who was a literal warren, a slimy worm to the end that a ton of people, almost like 20 i wanna say had enough of, and when me and a couple friends saw this episode one day via a discord movie night we took the piss so much comparing that "friend" to warren, like saying "oh no! He's making a twitlonger!" when he's singing his song or when warren gets deeper into yellow guys brain we jokes "Dear god! Hes using his alt accounts!", it was so cathartic and funny just making fun of the dude who we though was our friend who turned out to be a completely awful person
Warren is that one friend you don’t want to be around
Warren is literally that one friend of mine who "it's my birthday, can't wait to see your gift arts" "I wish that guy was me" "he done this for people birthdays but not for me"
The "They can't take a hint" is way too true.
The "They will shift subjects that doesn't go their way" is also true, specially when they talking about something they're obsessed with
I noticed the pause between "vicious personal attacks" and then "on someone you call a friend!"
Almost as if he nearly forgot to bring that part up.
Whatever powers the teachers have to transport them to different places, Warren certainly doesn't have that. He's weaker.
My favorite is the Coffin, all to his voice to his personality and banters with Duck while they we're underground he was such a delight to see for me because I couldn't stop laughing!
Sometimes the scariest type of person is a narcissist
i could go on and on about how interesting warren is. i feel like the scene where he argues over the speaker and the wifi password is so looked over, but it showcases his personality very well and gives us a firsthand taste of how much of an asshole he is. he even yells at yellow guys brother for being quiet when it was established multiple times that he’s just really shy, showing how inconsiderate warren is when it comes to other people.
i definitely had a warren in my life before
I don't think I'm a Warren, but it can be hard to not beat myself up at times about not having great social skills and feeling like I have to fake being interested in others. I try my best not to be narcissistic and toxic at least, but I just feel stuck in a catch-22 where I only feel motivated to impress people that don't care for me, and push away/feel uneasy for some reason with others that actually like me
That was a little heavy. My favorite teacher's Electracy, can't believe nobody's said her yet. She kick starts the whole finale plot being lobotomized a bit, never actually harms the characters (or at least, never gets to) - and god her song is the best with its electric guitar solo.
Runner up is the time child for their style and energy
Yea I really agree that Warren is the most realistic character in dhmis, cause I've known a "Warren" in real life, who was unfortunately my own mother. She'd always try to do anything to sway me into actually liking her, even if it hurt me. Like randomly talking about bad stuff that happened to her [ which turned out to be lies ], suggesting we go somewhere fun WITHOUT MY LEGAL GUARDIAN KNOWING, and even would just share stuff SHE liked but the second I tried to share something I liked, she'd immediately brush it off because it didn't fit what she liked. Literally the only reason I'm not around her anymore is because she got arrested. Hell, yellow guy during the episode felt like what I was going through at the time. The only reason I could never get out of the situation sooner was because she wanted to live with me and my legal guardian, and I was afraid she was gonna do something drastic if I told her to leave or that I didn't want her around.
I just love that Warren is together with the Main Trio the most complex and thoughted out characters! He might be annoying as hell, but this eagle has some hard issues and they even give him a vulnerable side by showing, that a dinner with friends will mean a lot to him, and is kinda his biggest dream 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
ive been struggling with a warren recently, and this video couldn't have come out at a more perfect time. sometimes you just need to get out the metaphorical gouging tools.
That episode with meat man left scars on me to where I broke down so hard years ago, so if I was going off horror it would have to be that one.
Can’t tell you how excited I was for this one since it got announced and I must say you knocked it out of the park. Warren always fascinated me which is ironic considering I despise him the most out of the teachers in the TV show (maybe because he hit a bit too close to home for me considering I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with quite a bit of ‘Warrens’ in my time)
I’d love to see more DHMIS videos from you in the future though! There’s quite a bit to unpack with the show and I’d like to hear your thoughts on it!
Web series-wise Colin was my favorite character but I think the Coffin shot up to possibly take his place. He's Just Some Guy (tm) despite all the creepy subject matter (and his entrance) and that makes the whole episode WAY funnier :V
You might say he was trying to worm his way into friendships

This joke is

As a Warren myself, the question becomes "How do I break out of this toxic spiral?" And the answer is that I have to be the one to do it. I cannot seek others for help, I have to do it myself.
Here's some quick thoughts from the perspective of someone who once was a Warren.
I was desperate.
I used to act like that because I was desperately calling for help in the worst way possible.
I was deep into depression, I didn't even know what I was doing.
After watching that episode, I started contemplating that confusing period of my life. I realized my behavior was in reality as a subconscious cry for help, one that ruined relationships and tainted my image
I sympathize with Warren and I understand his behavior.
He is a cartoon antagonist but they made him so human compared to the rest of the teachers, they even started the episode painting him as sort of an idiot trying his best, only going downhill from there which I think is a good summary of that period in my life.
When the trio sang their song at the end, there's the line "even the worm in your brain has a worm in his brain" and I think that's a sweet way to humanize people with toxic behavior because in the end, they are still human.
I love Warren a lot, he's a great character and whenever there is an opportunity to talk about his character, I take it lol.
I have a love hate relationship with him xd
My favorite teacher in the TV series is the coffin. I like how he has this facade of caring, similar to Willy Wonka, which makes him come off as knowing or cunning, but he still manages to be broken completely by Duck. Such a good straight man for Duck's nonsense.
My favorite teacher in the web series is the steak. His voice is just so pleasing. I know the briefcase basically has the same voice, but the steak's design is more likable.
Finally! It’s here! I’ve been hyped for this since you announced this and it didn’t disappoint!
The transport man is my favorite dhmis teacher.
He's underrated to say the least
Media Mementos talking about DHMIS? Today is a good day!
I used to have a girl in my 4th grade class who was just like Warren. She would constantly want me to be her friend and whenever I didn't give her attention, she would throw absolute pity parties for herself. She only cared about herself and loved getting other people she didn't like in trouble. She followed me around all the time and when I told her to stop, she would scream in my face and say she would tell on me. She wouldn't just do this to me, she would do it to other people in the class and say constant death threats to them. This happened all the way up until the end of 5th grade when she went to a different school because of her behavior.
I'm kinda scared because I think I'm like warren,
I feel like I'm a social parasite
I feel that my friends secretly find me annoying and clingy.
Today is my birthday and i appreciate this video as a gift even if I didn't suggest him on Patreon so thank you for making these great vids
a channel that covers moral orel AND dhmis??? my day has been made
Warren is just the friend version of a Yandere
I see a lot of comments about how episode 4 is a lot of people's least favorite but it's definitely my favorite, and I think it has a lot to do with how subtle and not so subtle the messaging is
I personally like to think that another reason why warren is so pathetic compared to other teachers and seems to have minimum impact on the trio is because friendship is actually the one thing the trio already have and already know. No matter the hardships they have faced so far, or no matter how they might hit each other's head or insult each other, they always had each other. Warren truly had no impact here because red guy, duck and yellow guy were already friends and was a lesson they had learned better than any other lesson already.
Warren pretty much sounds like Cozy Glow in a more pragmatic angle.
No… Warren’s more of a polar opposite.
Cozy Glow’s strategy was pretending to be someone you trustworthy, innocent and well-meaning. And she was genuinely good at it, so the validation of others falling for it was all she needed.
Warren doesn’t come across as trustworthy, (not helped by the show’s formula) or even mildly likable, so he has to engage with more forceful methods of self-validation.
@@kylestubbs8867 Still, they're both parasitic, so excuse me for lumping them together.
@@kylestubbs8867 They both don't understand friendship from different angles, Cozy wants power from others without the time and investment whereas Warren wants to be the center of attention since he has a grandiose sense of self-worth that's just as self-destructive as Cozy's hunger for power.
@@kylestubbs8867 Also Cozy Glow is totally self aware, she KNOWS she's a selfish asshole, even a VILLAIN, who just wants "friends" to empower herself, while Warren's whole deal is being a hypocrite who genuinely thinks he's a wonderful helpful guy and needs to latch onto others to validate that. About the only areas they meet are arrogance in thinking they are much more competent than everyone else and just their general unlikeable air that makes even other jerks think they're creepy.
The entire DHMIS franchise is a satire of educational kid’s shows and the way they adults try to teach kids things.
Warren, I think, is a satire of they the way adults do the same thing to older kids or teenagers. At a certain point, they stop pretending to try to entertain them and get more directly preachy.
There is no other bad friend and teacher than Warren himself. Warren is the kind of person who should had gotten help a long time ago but refused it.
My favourite teacher so far is the coffin, I like how macabre he is yet also chill and helpful.
Best DHMIS episode
Darn that wor...Eagle!!! He reminds me of my classmate, he was awkward and always wanted to be center of attention.
Pesky Bee!!
I had a friend like Warren, I recently cut ties with him a few weeks back cause I had enough of his bullshit, I feel like I'm doing so much better without him. Everything you said to describe Warren reminded me of my former friend (always plays the victim, gets upset when the attention isn't on him, acting like something amazing even though deep down he's a piece of shit, etc). I hate Warren so much just because of how accurate he is to a toxic friend, so I guess the writers did an amazing job with him
I spin it back around: Who was your favorite teacher?
I love Collin the most, followed closely by Electracey, The Notebook, and Collin the Clock.
I was so surprised but endlessly happy to see a Warren video from this chapter. I LOVE his episode even though he's literally the worst piece of shit ever. I kinda love that!
Also a note, you know how he has his dumb little badge on his chest thing? You know the part that makes him look a bit more like an earth worm?
I think that’s just a sweater. To make him look a bit more nice.
Ascariasis. Sometimes yellow- sometimes pink with yellow spots. It’s the most common parasitic worm for humans
Nope. That "chest" thing is called a gizzard. It's basically a worm's stomach where the food is digested.
I love you reviews keep it up.
Eagle = Ego, I just got that!
Honestly this episode hit home in some way as I had someone who never let go of me since *Kindergarten*
Didn't see her for 3 out of the 4 years in elementary later while when she came into comprehensive school like she did with elementary(also tried to steal a friend away who was targeted aswell) because she knew I would be there, I heard from a very good friend that she tried to use them to get me back(which they noticed just recently after remembering) with no success luckily, following me and people I was actually bonded with, sharing rumours and as a last resort trace art to try and "impress me"
Anyone who was involved because of me is glad she leaves us alone now
She may seem kind until you see her true colours
And it's so crazy that this happened during childhood aswell
I was bullied by other kids physically in elementary and she just stood there and watched with her lunch in hand, plundered fridges, broke/tried to steal toys, is very clingy and doesn't accept rejection and people wanting to move away from her.
A friend who moved away without her noticing even got a threat she'll show up to her bday because she knew for sure I was there with em
Fucking crazy
My favorite teacher is probably electracy, if only because it's the first teacher that's both competent, well intentionned and teaching efficiently.
I also love how beautifully off putting his puppet is. Not one of his colours match and his (notably human like) teeth are full at the bottom with a single tooth at the top. It just all adds up to make him so uncomfortable to look at.
You look like the artstyle in that one story of Micheal scene.
The only worm we can all agree on is the Pokémon Ortworm.
Warren is probably my favorite Teacher
Also one thing to remember is that when yellow guy was being treated poorly by the others Warren was happy to yell at Duck and Red but he wasnt doijg anything to comfort or show kindness to yellow
There are times where I'm paranoid that others see me as a Warren. I live a very lonely life and friendship is an important thing to me, but many people find me awkward and struggle to maintain friendships for long.
I feel the same way. I wish you the best of luck.
My favorite teachers are Elec-Tracey and Colin. They are both so adorable.
Just subscribed, can't wait to see more DHMIS!
I took a liking to Warren but afterward my favorite switched to Tony. Apparently I like the concept of anthropomorphic clocks
O.K.
STOP.
-Warren The Wo- Eagle! Eagle! That’s what I meant!
i love how the most reviled character in the whole show isn't even like...murderous or anything he's literally just an unlikable jackass and that makes him such a hilarious antagonist to me. he sucks he's pathetic and i love him for it
It is hard to choose a favorite teacher. I guess I would have to go with the Coffin teacher. ☠
you make such a good point!! the teacher always seems to come out on top, but warren doesn't.. quite interesting!
The coffin didn't either; he got badgered into submission by Duck Guy and then got his face bashed in by Yellow Guy
I quite enjoy that the whole "ok stop" thing he does seems more like a bid for attention and to prove he is a good friend (even though he is not) because the way I see it, its poking fun at anti-bullying campaigns at places like schools where they seem to _say_ they dont like bullying a lot more than they actually do anything about it.
Narcissism at its finest. My favorite teacher.
I’m Warrens biggest fan, I love him so much
I actually feel bad for Warren, but he does himself no credit by not learning from his mistakes or trying to improve himself.
I often worry that I'm a burden on friends and family like this, but if I really was, then I wouldn't be worrying about it I guess.
Same….but I think he is a worm because like he said worms are parasites that spread through all and that’s the same with Warren as a clingy toxic friend is one of the examples of a toxic friendship
I always imagine and get the impression that in the Better Best Friends song Warren is a teacher and the friends are primary school teachers, which makes some of the stuff in that song so much creepier. I think he’s supposed to represent some supply/substitute teachers in school who doesn’t know how to teach and bias gets in the way. Believe me I’ve had a few of those
I’ve had the displeasure of meeting someone like Warren once. When I was attending a university, I lived in a dorm room next to a guy who looked up to me like a brother (I was at least a foot taller than him) and I tried to be friendly with him out of pity since no one else in the dormitory wanted anything to do with him. Whenever I tried to nice to him by asking how his day was he would talk nonstop about his woes with finding a girlfriend or something that had to do with politics and he would go on and on for several minutes and I had no choice but to pretend to give a crap because I wanted to be nice. He was a smart guy and all but good fuckity Christ he was ever so clingy.
I really liked Lilly and todney even though they weren’t really “teachers”
Does anyone else worry if THEYRE the Warren in the friend group? 😰
YOU JUST HAD TO SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!
