Huh, good point, I hadn't realized that. Connection, perhaps?

Some enterprising artist should draw all three of them together. ;D

That pretty much summarizes it. He looked at me like I'd lost my mind. :bloocross:

Thirty bucks says he goes online tonight to check it out. 8D

I hate posting back-to-back. :P

Anyway, my accountant stopped by an hour or so ago to say "Happy birthday, sign these forms." Yay, incomprehensible financial documents. All written in Imperial Kreen as far as I'm concerned. After signing I remembered to ask if he'd checked out the show, to which he responded, "I did. Please tell me that this isn't the show you went to San Diego for!" I laughed and assured him that it wasn't. He thinks it's disturbing; so does his wife but apparently she likes disturbing, because after he showed it to her she spent a considerable amount of time watching the online episodes and laughing. 8D They have two children, ages 9 and 7, whom they've decided will not be permitted to watch HTF; they're worried that the younger one will get nightmares and that the older one will get ideas. 8D

For some reason I feel partially responsible for Cass's accountant's mind breaking, since this thread started it all this cute cuddly madness :bloocross:

Cassini90125 10-19-2008 07:03 PM

Not to worry, it's far from the first "WTF??" moment he's had because of me. Trying to explain Foster's to him back in 2005 was an interesting experience as well. :cheesegrin:

Nyo 10-20-2008 03:03 PM

Oh, ok.

My friend C says her favorite is Nutty the Squirrel :) I love that little guy too, but Flippy the Bear comes very close

Cassini90125 10-20-2008 03:13 PM

I just watched Remains To Be Seen. Stars, that was disturbing. :eek: :cheesegrin:

Oh, the zombie episode. Eh, I don't find that one to be all that bad myself, but maybe that just illustrates how de-sensitised I've become. At any rate, the exorcist episode (Read 'Em and Weep) is worse. I always find the show to be at its hardest whenever Cub winds up being a victim. He's just so adorable.

Nyo 10-21-2008 03:11 PM

I tend to ignore the Pop/Cub episodes, they can get really heartbreaking, especially the beach episode. (I think Partymember brought it up too.)

The ending was just sad >_<

jekylljuice 10-21-2008 03:23 PM

Well, the Pop and Cub episodes may have a tendency to end in tragedy, and I don't particularly enjoy it when Cub suffers, but Pop himself is still one of the show's funniest characters, IMO. It kind of both amuses and saddens me how he could be such a gruesome and negligent parent and yet still love and care about his son as deeply as he evidently does (which, I suspect, is part of the point). I'd have to say that their saddest episode is "And the Kitchen Sink"...being a TV episode it was longer than "Water Way To Go", so consequently Cub had to endure quite a bit more, and still came up way too short in the end for my liking. Fortunately, there are a small handful of episodes which Cub manages to survive unscathed (though seldom when he's a main character), and I do get quite a little buzz when he does. :oops:

Cassini90125 01-25-2009 11:02 PM

Oh, dear... "Paddle Eye"... Bloo cannot be permitted to watch We're Scrooged. Ever. :eek: :blooevil:

There's a HTF episode called Read 'em and Weep. There's an upcoming Foster's episode by that same title. Just a coincidence. Hopefully... :eek:

By the stars this show is so bloody. 8D

Guess what I found:

https://ssl.allegro.pl/show_item.php?item=529024861

The site is in Poland and I don't understand a word of it, but it's definitely Lumpy. :bloocross:

jekylljuice 02-14-2009 12:28 AM

This store has a couple of Lumpys...and too many Flippys:

I wish they did a Disco Bear plushie.

Nyo 02-14-2009 07:48 PM

I love Flippy and all, but I want some Lifty and Shifty merch

(And no fitted girl's shirts!! I hate them >_< Can't they make normal size?)

Cassini90125 05-14-2009 08:19 AM

There's an episode called Wrath Of Con. Everyone goes to Comic Con and dies horribly. This is going to put a serious damper on my vacation plans. :eek: 8D

Must be a new one. I just took a look at it. Heh, typical Splendid, and Sniffles, you should have fled while you still had the opportunity. It was great seeing Disco Bear again, even if he does die almost the instant he appears...

Truthfully, if you're a Happy Tree Friend, then Comic Con is really no more dangerous than the next pitfall-laden hang-out.

(Actually, it's the first time I noticed they had an "Alan Smithee" credit in their closing titles. Has that always been there? Is it just a joke, or is someone really that cautious to declare their association with this? :cheesegrin: )

Cassini90125 05-14-2009 10:17 AM

There's another one called Out On A Limb wherein Lumpy chops down a tree and gets pinned under it. The only way he can free himself is by cutting off the leg the tree landed on. Naturally, he cuts off the wrong leg. :cheesegrin:

jekylljuice 05-14-2009 11:25 AM

Ah yes, I've always found Lumpy's spirit to be incredibly admirable in that particular short. Upon realising his mistake, he has his brief moment of mourning, then immeditaly moves on with the task at hand (severing off the other leg). You've got to hand it to him.

On a side note, it's quite a novel HTF episode, in that no one actually dies in it. I guess that Lumpy's injuries and situation were considered horror enough.

Dmitri Karamazov 05-14-2009 04:46 PM

Oh God. Happy Tree friends.

I, who love violent war movies AND comedy violence, cannot stomach it. It's just too gory for my liking. If there's one thing I can't stand in a movie/show, it's prolonged agony and pain.

(said the person with the Schindler's List banner. That makes sense, somehow...)

xxxClaire 05-15-2009 11:30 PM

So, I just saw an episode of this show for the first time... Oh God you guys, how do you watch this? I love this kind of thing, but it's disturbing even for me! 8D
