After the release of the original YouTube adult puppet shows and its resulting popularity, the viral comedy-horror aired on British television's Channel 4 with a new series across six episodes.

Featured in the TV sitcom's episode 5 'Transport', the 2D animated Transport Song subverts 1950s educational children's videos and takes the show's main characters into a entirely new and original 2D illustrated and animated world. Via a leaky train character, this song introduces various ways of transport in classic Don't Hug Me I'm Scared satirical style.
