The Lamp

"Looks like someone's having a bad dream!!"

- The Lamp

The Lamp is one of the antagonists of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series. He is the final teacher of the series who, like previous teachers, attempts to forcibly teach the remaining puppet into learning about dreams.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 6
The video opens with the Yellow Puppet (or Manny, according to the fandom) attempting to rest in his bed after mourning for his friends. The Lamp springs to life only to be shut off by the Yellow Puppet. The Lamp reawakens and informs the Yellow Puppet that, in order for him to sleep, he needed to learn to dream. He incites a musical number, and the Yellow Puppet is dragged into it against his will. Once he's there, the Lamp tortures the Yellow Puppet to the point that Manny demands the Lamp to stop singing. Seemingly back in his world, the Lamp states that Manny must be having a bad dream, and he summons black oil to drown the Yellow Puppet.

Later on, the Red Puppet discovers a machine that was projecting the current lesson on its main screen. The Yellow Guy was still being tortured severely by the Lamp who suggests to the Yellow Puppet that he could have a dream about burning his friends. The Red Guy presses a button which causes the Lamp to transform into Tony, thus revealing that the previous teachers (excluding the Sketchbook) were products of the machine. There purpose seemed to be to torture the Yellow Puppet into becoming like his father.

The Lamp ceases to exist when the Red Guy pulled the plug on the computer simulation, and reality was rewritten.

Possible symbolism?
