the funny thing about this is that I've never actually SEEN it, I've only HEARD about it. I'm not going to watch it either. See, for some reason, when I HEAR about a gruesome caroon, I find it funny, but when I SEE the gruesome caroon... well... it kinda disturbs me. On the Itchy and Scratchy segments of The Simpsons, I often think: "wow, that was mindless violence with absolutely NO PURPOSE... that's.... weird..." Don't get me wrong, I like mindless violence as much as the next guy, but when it comes to caroons... don't ask.

Actually, in regards to the Itchy and Scratchy thing the major difference lies in two things. One is the amount of violence. Happy Tree Friends makes Itchy and Scratchy like G rated violenced, it barely even compares to HTF.
Secondly, the main reason the show is a hit (and why it makes me feel so sucky inside when I see it) is because unlike Itchy and Scratchy, the Happy Tree Friends are designed to look, act, and sound cute, cute, cute. They're like the Care Bears and that's kinda where the gag lies in dismembering them. What makes it worse for me anyway is the fact that the HTF don't try to kill each other, it all happens through a series of accidents. Where as Itchy and Scratchy constantly try to kill each other, mostly due to the fact they're the Simpsons versions of Tom and Jerry.

I've never seen HTF, but I must admit that my curiosity is piqued...

Now this is a topic I can resurrect with necromancy, as I know plenty about Happy Tree Friends. I am a moderator on the official Happy Tree Friends forum, even though it’s down at the moment. The show may pride itself on its violence and gore, but I assure you that there is quite a lot of depth to the series. I’ve written several comprehensive articles, two of which were over 10,000 words long, and the characters have complex personalities despite not being able to speak in a language that we can understand. Still, I can respect those who find the show to be unappealing, but the show has more going for it than just blood and gore.

Happy Tree Friends is disturbing but hillarious, as well as Johnny the Homocidal Maniac.
