That's good to hear. The other day, my housemates and I were having something of a House marathon, and there are bits of that show which I find to be gruesome and difficult to watch (basically, whenever they have close-up glimpses of the surgical procedures, that's me squirming in my seat). The violence in Happy Tree Friends can be pretty graphic and extreme, but it's still of an instrinsically very cartoonish nature. I suppose that, in its own highly distorted way, it's actually very sweet and innocent after all. :scribble:


I love cats, and I've never understood that particular trend either. I probably wouldn't mind them always being allocated the villainous roles if such cartoons didn't always protray them as being so mind-numbingly stupid to boot. Oh well, thank god for the likes of Garfield, Heathcliff and Top Cat.

I don't go there; I just watch the cartoon. HTF is great when you're in the right mood. :bendy:

An eyeball can't do that... :eek:

You wouldn't be talking about Toothy the beaver's little misadventure with a woodpecker and a lollipop, now would you?

Yep. First episode I saw. The memory lingers, much like my post-episode pharmacy bill. :weirded:

My first episode too. Personally I think it's a pretty good place for HTF newbies to start, since it's about as bad as any of their misadventures get. If you can handle that particular eye-popping (quite literally, in this case) grotesquery, you know you can handle any of them.

I must admit to laughing rather loudly at the one where one of them got his tongue stuck in an anthill. 8D

We've got a HTF thread around here somewhere as I recall. ;D

That would be Sniffles the anteater - usually the victim of tongue-related accidents. I feel sorry for him, since those ants he sometimes goes after can be really sadistic, and their actions go waaaaay beyond merely defending themselves.

Yeah, it's in Other Entertainment, though most of the people on NF really don't seem to like it. Originally, as I recall, I was amongst the detractors. Then, one day, something just...happened, and I suddenly started liking it. I always knew I had a morbid side, deep down, and I'm glad it found its outlet eventually. Besides, Disco Bear (star of my current avatar) is way too awesome to be ignored. I love that bear so much! :bloosmirk:

Same here. Just kind of grows on you, in some strange manner.

Moved our last 6 posts here from Imaginary Party; may as well have them in their proper location. ;D

Awesome. I guess they were just a bit too coherent and sophisticated to reside in the Spam section, huh? ;D

Sense happens. 8D

About 20 minutes after my last post here my accountant dropped by to pick up some paperwork. I mentioned that we were discussing HTF online; he'd never heard of the show so I described it as a short web cartoon where small cuddly animals suffer horribly and die in amusing ways. 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
