GÜBY
GÜBY - Educational Videos Is a web series following a children's cartoon character in a show around the same name. It slowly devolves into a mess of incomprehensible nonsense as the series goes on. There are seemingly various secrets as the series continues too. Guby is also on TikTok

Ep. 1 - Numbers
Guby proceeds to count to ten, and then begins to talk about his favorite number being a credit card number. He asks the audience to read aloud the numbers found on the card to him.
Some secret info can be gleamed as what seems to be messy morse code appears for a split second toward the end.
The closest word that matches the look of the morse would be these two:
Evading or Escaping
. ...- .- -.. .. -. --. / . ... -.-. .- .--. .. -. --.
Purely conjecture however...
Ep. 2 - Letters
Guby proceeds to recite the ABC's and mentions that they can be used to create words, which his favorites are "Help Me"
Some flashing information can be seen when the video glitches.
Most notably a Missing persons notice for a "Michaela Akens" from Boise, Idaho who disappeared on the night of December 7th, 2023 while she was with her grandmother.
This is also the same date that episode 1 released on YouTube
Ep. 3 - Colors
Video starts VERY corrupted with distorted audio. Guby proceeds to list various colors of the rainbow, and then states his favorite is Red, the color of blood.
A new missing persons file for an "Andrew Connor" from Provo, Utah can be seen in the flickering of the video (Dec. 11, 2023) and a string of two digit numbers.
"23 15 54 13 24 14 43 22 45 12 54 23 15 42 15 44 34 14 11 54 52 15 42 15 22 34 24 33 22 44 34 31 15 11 42 33 11 12 34 45 44 11 33 14 42 15 52"
The string of numbers is actually a common Polybius cypher, or in this case also called "tap codes" commonly used by prisoners. The string translates to:
"HEY KIDS GUBY HERE TODAY WERE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT ANDREW"
Disturbing imagery can also be seen of a more fleshy and realistic version of Guby with his mouth wide open and thin rounded teeth.
The end of the video shows an old Claymation stop motion cartoon of teeth being attacked by plaque.
Ep. 4 - Shapes
Corrupted even more now, Guby talks about various different shapes until he gets to the shape of "a little girl" and to what his favorite shape is.
A new missing persons report can be seen for a "Sofia Anthony" for December 17, 2023 in Sacramento, California. Again, the same day the last video was posted.
A large amount of imagery can be seen of older iterations of Guby, a puppet, a 3D rendering, a man in a mask, and various others.
There's also photos of children sitting on couches, beds, or sofas, looking intently at the camera, supposedly at the show. The children look to be the same missing kids as previous missing persons reports. Possibly as their final moments before vanishing.
Another hidden tap code can be found in the dark and upside down:
"23 15 24 43 33 34 44 52 23 11 44 23 15 43 11 54 43 23 15 24 43"
"HE IS NOT WHAT HE SAYS HE IS"
"35 11 33 24 13 43 45 42 22 15 14 44 23 42 34 45 22 23 44 23 15 13 23 24 31 14 42 15 33 44 23 15 24 42 43 13 42 15 11 32 43 14 42 34 52 33 15 14 34 45 44 12 54 44 23 15 13 11 13 34 35 23 34 33 54 34 21 23 24 43 13 23 24 31 31 24 33 22 32 15 31 34 14 54 44 23 15 24 42 23 34 35 15 21 34 42 15 43 13 11 35 15 14 52 24 33 14 31 24 33 22 24 33 44 2315 21 11 13 15 34 21 11 33 24 33 43 45 42 32 34 45 33 44 11 12 31 15 23 34 42 42 34 42 44 23 11 44 43 15 15 32 15 14 44 34 23 11 51 15 44 11 13 15 33 34 33 11 31 24 21 15 34 21 24 44 43 34 52 33"
"PANIC SURGED THROUGH THE CHILDREN THEIR SCREAMS DROWNED OUT BY THE CACOPHONY OF HIS CHILLING MELODY THEIR HOPE FOR ESCAPE DWINDLING IN THE FACE OF AN INSURMOUNTABLE HORROR THAT SEEMED TO HAVE TAKEN ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN"
There's also some odd text that flashes too
"...to us as a burning bush and said we could kill the hurricane bird..."
"do not look into his eyes"
"do not trust him"
"he lies"
ending plays a very blue version of a (seemingly) 1990's video of a grassy field somewhere.
Ep. 5 - Animals
Video starts only entirely corrupted with a deep fried video of pigs glitching into view. The video seems to glitch back in from the previous one, talking about shapes, when a little girls voice speaks out and Guby turns and yells, "Only speak when spoken to" but scrambled in the captions. He yells again when the child says "a pig" to which Guby responds "Listen to what I tell you, pig!" He talks about his favorite animal being a "person." A different child's voice says now that "they're not animals" breaking him out of his glitch, and Guby retaliating with "All animals have teeth." The ending plays the song "Any Little Girl That's a Nice" by Ada Jones from the 1920's
A new missing persons report for an "Abbey Lang" missing on January 3, 2024 from Tucson, Arizona. The same trend again for another victim.
Some text found in the video:
"I find myself consumed by thoughts of him, his antics playing out vividly in my mind's eye."
"The name conjured images of laughter and joy, of innocence and wonder. It was the embodiment of childhood itself, a beacon of light in a world frown dark with cynicism and doubt."
"He was a manifestation of my own desires and aspirations, a being that willed itself into existence by planting seeds of creativity in the fertile soil of my mind"
"Deep down, I know that he's the one pulling the strings, weaving himself into the fabric of my reality until I can't remember a time when he wasn't a part of me."
"I was merely a vessel, a conduit through which this enigmatic being willed itself into existence"
Ep. 6 - Things???
In this episode, Guby is missing, and all that can be seen are the captions. (Comments are also turned off)
The captions for this video reveal a large amount of garbled text with some characters greyed out. putting together all the grey characters we get the phrase:
"https://youtu.be/VaQPLiYI9OfzX4j85kw"
This is typically too many letters for a YouTube link, which only contains a total of 11 characters. What's interesting though is the description of the video which has a clue: "GÜBY teaches '[ 1 6 2 17 7 1 11 8 13 15 19 ]' in this video. Learn '[ 1 6 2 17 7 1 11 8 13 15 19 ]' with GÜBY."
These 11 numbers denote the order in which to list the symbols. Fully written we get the link: https://youtu.be/Via5YVfIXjw
Ep. 6-2 - ▉▉▉▉▉
This episode is purely hidden from the public, only being hinted to in the last episode. It's completely glitched with random words in the captions and flashing imagery from previous episodes, pigs, teeth, children's art, fan art, and a pregnancy diagram for little over 2 minutes.
A fifth missing persons report can be found for a "James Bennett" who went missing on February 11th, 2024 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Every missing child so far can also be seen with an image of their face glued onto a popsicle stick lined up in a row.
//---
Taking the capital letters from the captions, we get this message:
"IDEAS ARE BIRTHED FROM THE MIND
HE LET ME IN AND THROUGH HIM I LET MYSELF OUT
THE LARGER PIGS HAVE LESS TEETH
THE SMALLER PIGS HAVE MORE TO GROW
HOW I FEAST UPON THE TEETH
HOW I FEAST UPON THE TEETH
HOW I FEAST UPON THE TEETH"

Many codes can be found in this video too:
Possibly morse: ".... . .-... .-.-.." --> "HE&+E" (On report around 0:15)
"52 23 15 42 15 11 42 15 52 15 11 43 13 15 14 43 34 21 24 11 52 15 11 42 15 24 33 11 12 15 11 45 44 24 21 45 31 32 15 11 14 34 52 52 23 24 43 35 15 42 15 14 32 24 13 23 11 15 31 11 44 23 24 43 24 43 33 34 44 11 32 15 11 14 34 52 42 15 43 35 34 33 14 15 14 43 34 21 24 11"

"Do you want to see my favorite shape?"
Episode 7 - Sounds (w/ Friends)
Episode plays as GUBY, mostly uncorrupted, teaches different sounds you can find in life. He teaches this with an unnamed green friend with sock puppets. Some notable sounds are an amber alert, a glitchy beginning , and the screams of children :)
Ending is another scene from that plaque Claymation of him giving them candy.
A new missing person's report can be seen for a "Joshua Lennard" for February 18th 2024, in Spokane, Washington.
