Oats are a reoccurring aspect of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series that first appeared in Episode 4.
Appearance[]
The Oats have been seen in 4 forms:
- A white bowl with 2 light blue stripes in it (similar to the bowls seen in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared).
- A box with red sides and tip, the front has a white top and green bottom with a curvy line between the two, "OATS!" Is said on the front, it shows oats falling into a bowl with a spoon next to it, it also has a white comic style bubble on the corner.
- A form quite similar to the previous one but this one has dark blue arms on either side and a white hand, it is also implied to be a teacher.
- The last form is just like the previous two but digital, has no eyes, has a more simple look to it, and has red legs ending in large yellow shoes
Appearances[]
Oats first appeared in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4, They appear in the first scene of the episode, on the part of the list that comes out of Colin The Computer's head as a potential option for favorite food. Oats are later seen in the 'digital world' in which they can be seen floating in the sky with what may be the legs of some sort of bird coming out of it. They also make an appearance in the dancing scene in the form of an Oats box. Oats finally appear at the end of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 4, in which the Red Guy sees the low budget mock-up of Don't Hug Me I'm scared in which they can be seen in place of a teacher.
In Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 5 an oats box can be seen next to a wall.
In Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 6 the oat box can be spotted on a shelf in Yellow Guy's dream.
In the TV series, the box can be regualrly spotted on top of the cupboard in the kitchen, in all episodes, except "Friendship", because the characters never leave the living room during the episode.
