Duck dying of dehydration could also be related to how in episode 3, he implied that he had rabies. rabies makes you fear water so you can't wash away the infected saliva

[skipturnip]

Here’s an idea: what if we, the audience, are the council? We are watching them reenact their lives in this show, and by watching them on Channel 4 we are supporting and funding the creators, or paying them.

*Yellow Guy/David* and his parents had just moved into a new neighborhood. His mother/Lesley heads out (grocery shopping or something we don't know) The father/Roy is left looking after david. Unfortunately, Roy is a very neglectful father and leaves his young son unattended as he goes to mingle with the new neighbors. Daivd sees a bird and starts chasing it. This causes him to run onto the road where Lesley, who was just coming back home, accidentally runs him over.

*Duck* was quite successful in life. He had a good job and enough money to live to comfortably. However, duck had no contact with his family and he had no close friends either. He told himself he didn't need anyone else, that he was fine on his own, but the loneliness only got worse as he got older. Duck had always been a patriot and a big fan of the military, so when the loneliness became to much, Duck signed up for the air force. One day, when he was out serving, his plane malfunctioned. He crashlanded, leaving him stranded alone with no food or water. He eventually died from dehydration.

*Red Guy* had never quite fit in with the rest of his family, where showing emotions or coloring outside of the lines was frowned upon. People where expected to get an 9-5 job and settle down, get married and have kids. However, Red Guy didn't want to live that kinda life. This caused him to have quite a rocky relationship with the rest of his family. One day he decides to leave it all behind and start a new life where he was free to do whatever he wanted. So he packs his bags and drives away. He had no real destination in mind, he just wanted to leave. After a long drive his car starts breaking down, he loses control of the vehicle causing him to go off road and into a nearby river. He is unable to get out of the car and drowns.

I remember watching a 3 part series on YouTube called the trauma theory about the web series. I decided to look at the show and try to play with the idea that this is Leslie processing her trauma
Episode 1 is about how Leslie's parents met and her working through her father's death.
Episode 2 is about both her grieving for her father and getting a stepdad.
Episode 3 is about how she felt out of place within her new step family and later cut ties with the family when she started seeing roy.
Episode 4 is about how roy would also make her remove all connections with friends.
Episode 5 is about coping with her son's death.
And episode 6 is about her coping mechanisms

[ZoronKrye]

I thought that Yellow Guy was like a cyborg replacement for David, hence Leslie going “YOU’RE NOT MY REAL SON” and the fact he runs on batteries, and having duck’s insides removed could be a nod back to the eating healthy youtube show as well?

[galacticgila]

This theory kinda works with the characters designs as well-
David died as a child, so Yellow is about the height of a child and isn’t very mature. He also wears an outfit you’d see more commonly on a young boy about 10 or so
Duck died presumably near (salt)water, and was there due to a plane, something that flies- so he’s a bird
Red drowned in a lake- I’m not sure if it’s a freshwater species, but there is a red type of algae

[Yipper]

I really like this puppet = death theory. It explains Lesley's design because it means she is scared, but not dead yet. My guess as to the reason the ID cards only showed Duck as dead is because in this puppet world I guess the death of the human life still lingers, just takes a bit to catch up to you. Meaning that Duck in his human life probably died first. (relatively speaking since it was probably near the same time still)

[mamadev]

if them being dead is represented by them turning into puppets, then leslie's puppet like appearance despite being human implies that she's metaphorically dead.

[gdragon]

this also could explain why duck had the hardest time fitting into the workplace. in his actual life he left his office job for the military



(also explains how he could’ve possibly forged those documents leading to several deaths)

[beecee]

Something I'd like to mention, the main three and Roy aren't the only ones we can see in the Mullhoven sequence, we also see the twins from Ep3, they're mainly visible when we see all of the neighbors in the house. Tbh the twins have always intrigued me since they are the closest we get to human puppets (note that they don't have unnatural skin tones, regular shaped noses and actually change outfits for the majority of the episode.)

[MarisaReset]

"You can't really live with your insides removed" sounds like something straight out of the lyrics to these DHMIS songs :D

[cerebraltr]

Lamp also mentions the idea of reincarnation into your favourite animal, perhaps why duck’s face appears on the dog in the David scene, we also see red guy in that scene though so I don’t know how that would really apply to the story

[Serennekin]

Great theory as always!!

My question would be: If Red Guy successfully re-enacted a scene in his life where his car breaks down near water, then wouldn’t we have seen him get a pound? I think the claim that Red Guy’s drowning is supported by the broken down car near the water is a bit more speculation than something we can jump straight to conclusions yet, but I believe you already addressed that. Definitely not saying it’s wrong though.

I think something interesting to look into though would be the scene where the train teacher is transforming into a bunch of different vehicles. One vehicle he transforms into is a boat sailing on water, and Red Guy is seen steering the boat. This may be the way Red Guy drowns. Something may have malfunctioned on the boat, and he ended up drowning on a lake.

Another thing to mention is that the train man also turns into Leslie’s car (like you’ve mentioned before) as well as a plane, which according to your theory in this episode, would relate to duck’s death.

So I believe the train man’s role here was to show us the three different ways of transport that our 3 main characters died in. Yellow Guy died by car accident, Duck died by a plane accident (and then suffered through dehydration), and Red Guy died in a boating accident and drowned on a lake.

[awest]

rem I love your theories and how you go on about really deep theories whilst the directors probably just thought 'haha funny yellow guy Roy'

[annika]

I just want to make a quick note on Roy in episode 3, family;
When he shows up to the family home at the end and then pushes yellow guy aside, I’m not sure if it’s necessarily out of malice. Once yellow guy is out of the house, you can hear Roy saying “yum yum” increasingly aggressively and the sounds of the family go from fervor over the food to screaming. This along with the bloody gore that hits the door makes me think that Roy wasn’t eating the food but instead was killing the family. Maybe he did this to protect his son or maybe he did this so that yellow guy could return to the house as the family kidnapping him would derail the show and he’s simply trying to keep things on track. All this followed by yellow guy’s response the next morning - “dad” said in a somber and reflective tone - makes me think he appreciated being rescued but was uncomfortable with the violence it brought, not that he was upset that his dad ditched him. None of this makes Roy a good dad but it does show how abusive parents may do things which in their mind are twisted expressions of love or care but are actually horribly abusive or traumatizing.

[oceanman_]

I love this theory. Being made into a puppet when you die, having to live in a pastel colored hell by forces outside your comprehension is an extremely cool idea

[BottleofJarritos]

Rem: talks about how these 3 die in horrific ways

Also Rem: THAT'S AMAZING!

[jackbergman]

Matpat: Hey Guys! The yellow guy might be david!!

Rengames: I solved the language and know exactly what's going on

[bigginox]

Does anyone else find it strange that everytime a version of the intro plays, Roy is staring through a hole in the wall when it transitions from the fridge to the hanging portraits? Also, when we meet Stain, their is a water bowl and a food bowl with the word "SCRUNTY" on it.

[thebe_stone]

also we can see in the opening theme that roy has broken through the wall to try to get back into a position of power over the main three, possibly showing him trying to get back to lesley to eather try to get back with her or try to kill her so they would all be even.
