Red Guy

Red Guy 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 besides spaghetti and a mop. He is portrayed and voiced by Joe Pelling.

At the end of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4, his head explodes. Becky Sloan then posted two videos containing Red Guy on her Instagram, confirming he is not dead.

Red Guy is seen at the end of Episode 5 during the credits, in which he walks away from a telephone booth. He apparently was calling home, in an attempt to tell Duck Guy and Yellow Guy to escape. His head is also seen in the microwave in the same episode. He can also be seen in the House of Organs, in one of the windows. He can also be seen in the curly food, and when Duck Guy knocks the camera down, you can see Red Guy's feet. He can additionally be seen as spaghetti around the end of the episode.

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 other people of his species in suits for a majority of the episode, before finding the control machine in which Yellow Guy is still trapped. Red Guy started pushing the machine's buttons, glitching the Lamp into teachers encountered in previous episodes and many other new teachers, until Roy's hand stretched out and touched Red Guy's shoulder, shocking him. Red Guy then found a plug connected to the machine and pulled it. This reset the whole series, changed the puppets into their favorite colors, (turning Red Guy blue), and moved the calendar from June 19 to June 20. Sketchbook appears and begins to say, "What's your favorite idea?" as the episode cuts to black.

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