Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared creator implores us to use cups in this creepy animation

Sit down with a cuppa and enjoy Joe Pelling’s new short for Adult Swim.

Fans of cult UK web series Don’t Hug Me Scared will find a new creepy yet funny fix in a two minute short all about the importance of using cups.

Made by Don’t Hug Me co-creator Joe Pelling with Cory Snearowski and Brendan O’Hare, Use Cups was aired yesterday on Adult Swim as part of their always-intriguing smalls selection.

We were not paid by the cup industry for this message.

The deadpan voiceover is pitch perfect, making proceedings not too unsettling for the viewer.

Adult Swim has been on a roll lately when it comes to British talent, with Joseph Melhuish’s recent cracking Bambi short also airing on the channel (embedded below.)
