Funny, dark and sick entertaining, then just gets boring ( Not For Kids)
okg-1112227 June 2015
Everybody knows about the show called happy tree friends a show where these cute little creatures go about their business but the horrify the viewers with the gruesome things that happen to theses cute little animals.

When I saw the show for the first time,I thought it was the most funny show out there, then a couple episodes in I got bored. By that time I real see how dark of a show it is, they even kill animal babies in the show. Right of the bat in the first couple I noticed that this was not for kids, even though idk if I am considered a kid but kids still shouldn't watch it. The way little kids are able to get away with watching this show is that a first glance it does look like a little kids TV show.

It was funny the first couple of time but, like happy wheels, the first time you play it you think it's the best but then it just gets repetitive, that is exactly what happy tree friends is, repetitive gore.The same thing kept happening over and over. I admit that each way a character was killed was unique to any other death, but the creators of the show just made it every possible way to make the show as bloody and gory as possible.

You can use these show to horrify people who have never seen this before, or watch it just for laughs, or if you just like sick twisted shows but as a series it offers nothing but repetitive gore.

Morbidly fascinating
briancham199428 November 2021
I used to watch this when I was younger. Probably not a good idea. I had a wallpaper of Cuddles about to a stick a fork into a power outlet, although my favourite character was Flippy for some reason. When I was younger, I hated seeing blood and guts (and still do), but the cartoonish nature of the violence was bizarre enough to be entertaining. The scenarios are so unpredictable and ridiculous that I couldn't be disturbed. Strangely, I can't stomach this show now as an adult. I suppose I'm just too anxious now and the anticipation is too much for me to bear. Recommended for morbid children. Not recommended for anxious adults.

Ignore the soccer mom reviews this show is awesome!
jamesethoen26 August 2018
This show is so funny and gory. Don't let the kids watch it :) the negative reviews come from mothers finding their kids watching this show. Those mothers should really make their kids watch nick jr and pbs kids and pay attention to what they are watching. I wouldn't consider this a review, but a lesson, to mothers not paying attention to what their kids are watching. Over and out ;)

Animal Crossing should be a spin-off of this....
HTF-is-awesome21 July 2014
Okay imagine this funny show, Happy Tree Friends being combined with Animal Crossing. It would be really, really funny to ever watch, wouldn't it?

It would be hilarious to see, right? Imagine stupid characters like Isabelle, Tom Nook, Resetti, etc. dying some horrible and crazy deaths. Funny, am I right?

People say the Animal Crossing becoming a spin-off

of Happy Tree Friends would ruin other people's childhoods. But MY childhood? No it wouldn't ruin my childhood. It would be the funniest show on the planet, wouldn't it?

As a vegan, I actually like this
widelywherever14 October 2021
I love animals and abstained from meat for at least six years now, but I can't help but have fun with the crazy hijinks the friends get into. I hate it when the baby dies though. Flippy is the most relatable character for me as someone with borderline personality disorder.

Gross, yes. evil, yes. Satisfying, yes
Mat_neve110431 March 2006
Happy tree friends slams into action...with many DVD's out, tons of merchandise and a successful show altogether getting all this from animal cruelty is genius as well as disturbing. So I have given a 9 as It is a very addictive show and you should watch it even if you like animals...I have 3 cats which I like and I still find it funny...by the way it is animated, I'm not that sick. Anyway in conclusion you should definitely get the DVD's, get the merchandise, get the £1 keyrings off ebay because this is about to become your life and the animation is like you've never seen animation before. Definitely the one to watch if you don't feel queasy at a bit of blood.

Infinitely Demented but incredible.
naphythespiffyone1 December 2006
Happy Tree Friends. Where do I start. Well, Happy Tree Friends is possibly the best cartoon on the internet. I have seen all of the episodes or at least all of the ones which I am aware of their existence. This show, however, is nowhere near kid friendly. It features cute cuddly animals who start out with a happy thing like, playing on a merry go round, going to the zoo, sitting around a campfire. Then, out of nowhere comes some disastrous thing that Kills all of them in brutal ways. Or at least most of them. I bought the Overkill DVD which features 50+ episodes of brutal morbid death of cute innocent animals. It is the perfect show for anyone who has a weird demented sense of humor. I watch it a lot with my sister. I am usually laughing while she is screaming. That makes it even funnier. I loved the day I showed it to my parents and watched them cringe as Lumpy, the moose, sawed his leg off with a spoon. This show is not intended for young children or big babies. But, I think that's what I like about it. My favorite episode is, well, I don't have a favorite episode. I love them all. Every graphically violent one of them. I just can't get enough of my Happy Tree Friends.

A dumb and stale show
Rectangular_businessman11 February 2007
The joke got old after a couple of episodes, and it wasn't even that funny to begin with.

Gore is not a substitute for comedy, and it needs something else besides of gratuitous violence to work.

Itchy and Scratchy worked because it was a satire of the violence from many classic cartoons. (And also they were very minor characters from their respective show )

Oh, yes, there will be blood.
rgibson1034 November 2006
It's like "Shirt Tales" and "The Get-Along Gang" had a knife fight that turned into a blood orgy. It's great!

Think what The Simpson's Itchy & Scratchy could do without a censor using pastel colored cuddlies in the tradition of Hello Kitty. It's like a 2-D animation version of "Meet the Feebles" without any of that pesky dialog.

Heads roll, eyes gouge, blood for ketchup, combat flashbacks, and each episode resets so they don't get rid of any of the cast. Four stars.

Check it out.

Why do people find this show funny?
hev-776-79117728 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Why do people even find this funny, is what I say every time my friends talk about how "funny" this show is. Is this show funny? No. Is it disgusting? Absolutely!

Every episode starts out the same. Everything fine, until something bad happens and then whichever of the characters that star in the episode die disgusting and gruesome deaths, but somehow manage to come back to life in the next episode.

This show is garbage. There is nothing redeeming about it. Every episode of this show is the same garbage over and over again, and it gets boring after a while. And the characters don't even speak, but make these weird sounds that are so irritating! Why couldn't the characters just talk normally?

The show's animation is okay I suppose, but it could be better. I was not expecting Disney quality, but they should of tried harder.

Overall, this show stinks. It's not funny, it's not entertaining, it's repetitive and disgusting!

Disgusting, Twisted, Sick, Evil, and Very Funny
alfredosolisfuentes20 June 2007
Happy Tree Friends is a show that started as a internet shorts that became very popular and gained it's own TV series that now aires on G4. Every episode features cute innocent cuddly animals getting slaughtered in the most gruesome ways possible. The internet shorts were about 3 minutes long so the writers didn't have much time to tell a story so they usually went to the violence really fast but in the TV seven minute episodes the writers are able to tell a nice story in which a character faces a normal problem and tries to solve it and always while trying to solve that problem the character would cause the other's character's deaths and it's own. Some characters like Cuddles, Toothy and Sniffles die in almost every episode they featured in so you can predict that they are going to die while other characters like Flippy and Splendid rarely die so the writers sometimes try to surprise fans when they kill these characters. The animation is done in flash and it takes about 6 months to do and it's really good and impressive for a non-mainstream cartoon. Even though the show makes me sick sometimes I still find it really funny and addictive and I think anyone with a twisted sense of humor will enjoy it. I the other hand anyone with an innocent sense of humor and weak stomach should stay away.

I give this funny show a 9.5

Fantastic
shepherd7324 August 2006
I love this show of mini shorts, many of my peers have complained it as being too violent and awful such as the little cute pink bear always getting decapitated or dismembered or some foreign object being lodged in her ears, nose, eyes etc. But if you look past that its a very funny show thats totally unpredictable, you never know whats going to happen to the smiling little bunny or the shy little dandruff porcupine thing its so funny i have many favourites and I'm sure if you give it a try you will struggle not to lift a smile at even one skit, and no it is not sadistic at all after all, its a cartoon and all animals are animated! So i challenge everyone who reads my comment to watch them.

So Much Gore!
henrymadman4 July 2007
Happy Tree Friends is a flash cartoon series by Mondo Mini Shows, created by Kenn Navarro, Aubrey Ankrum and Rhode Montijo. Warren Graff is also credited in creating the Happy Tree Friends.

As indicated on the official site, the show is "not recommended for small children ." Notwithstanding the cuteness of its characters, the show is extremely violent. Every episode features at least one character's violent and bloody death, except the two episodes: "Out on a Limb", "Nuttin' but the Tooth","Asbestos i can do" and possibly "House Warming" (which still featured blood and gore and characters who would have possibly died of blood loss or shock).

While the violence of these deaths is compared to that of The Itchy & Scratchy Show (a short cartoon featured on The Simpsons), the deaths in Happy Tree Friends are even more graphic and more drawn out.

The show is nearly free of dialogue; when the characters do speak, their words are severely garbled. Though it is obvious what each character's reaction is, their words can barely be understood. According to the website, the idea for Happy Tree Friends was conceived by Rhode Montijo when he drew a yellow rabbit (slightly resembling Cuddles) on a piece of paper and wrote "Resistance Is Futile" underneath it.

FUN for the WHOLE FAMILY
Hi_This_Is_Bob20 January 2017
Happy Tree Friends is an American flash cartoon that features a wide variety of characters; each with varying personalities and appearances. Sounds pretty FRICKIN' stupid at first... But that's when you're wrong kid.

This show has become a POPULAR INTERNET PHENOMENON. By taking a look at the likable characters, the colorful adventures, the EPIC writing, and of course THE FRICKIN' CATCHY THEME SONG, you can see why. Plus, it's a GREAT show to sit down and watch with the family. Seriously, try it out one time.

With over 150 episodes divided into multiple seasons, there's plenty of HTF to watch. Check out Mondo Media on Youtube; I'm pretty sure EVERY EPISODE is on there. They also got DVDs and stuff like that... BUT WHY WOULD YOU BUY THAT CRAP when it's ALL ONLINE? I mean, GO USE THE MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE WENDY'S.

I give this a FRICKIN' 8/10. I don't think you will be disappointed.

What I think about it...
myraglina19 January 2017
Ummmm...I have watched a little bit of it and I find it scary to be honest because you see, I'm still a teenager experiencing things and stuff but anyway, I saw one or two episodes of it and I find them okay but for some reason, my parents downloaded them last year... When I first heard of 'Happy Tree Friends', I thought it was about happiness and pollution and all of that crap, so yeah. I was pretty uncomfortable when I was watching the show for the first time and I was like "What even is this sh*t...", so I covered my eyes and everything but I'm glad my parents warned me about the blood and animals killing themselves etc. (that reminds me of my friends, man I'm so deep sometimes) That's why I rated it 3 out of 10 stars because I didn't expect that a show would go that far with that type of violence like for example, South Park, The Simpsons and Family Guy.

Unexpected, Gratuitous, Hilarious, Creative.
chaaaaals1928 July 2011
So, I saw this for the first time with a group of friends. I thought it was going to be one of the dumbest things ever because of how cute all of the characters were. As it turned out, it was the hardest I've laughed in about a year. I literally cried for over a minute I was laughing so hard when the first little guy got his head ripped off. I really love all of the unique and graphic ways that it happens as well. The best part is, my mind wasn't altered at all while watching! It's a must see without a doubt. Pure, uncensored... genius. If you're looking for a way to kill time, laugh, or just watch a lot of TV, if you watch this, you will not be upset in the slightest. The shock value of this is off the charts. Sorry about the unnecessary stuff after "...genius." Had to make ten lines...

Very bad and not funny.
timsnoek14 September 2014
I was curious about this show, it was suggested to me by Netflix. Cute fluffy cartoon animals getting killed in the most gruesome ways does sound something that I may like and that might be funny.

I sat through the first 2 episodes. I didn't laugh or even smile. It's not clever, it's not funny, it's not worth sitting through it for even seven minutes. It's boring, too far fetched, even for an adult cartoon, and distasteful.

Gruesome & funny I can handle, but the idea of this cartoon has not been executed well at all. It's just a load of crap and a waste of my time and a waste of their money. The only plus is the way they drew the cartoons, therefor not 1 star but 2.

Violent & Funny!
Futurama_Fanatic28 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
When I first read about this show on Wikipedia, I knew I just had to watch it. And when I saw my first episode (A Sucker For Love Pt. 1), I couldn't stop laughing at how violent it was. Really, watching Nutty being hurt over and over again and trying to get some candy really makes you laugh! And the internet series is great too! love the episode "The Wrong Side of The Tracks" where Lumpy builds a roller coaster and it breaks down leading to everyone to get killed.

But the only bad part in this flash cartoon is that there is not enough blood & gore, you are wondering how it can be even more bloody? I know.

So when you ever see a show with cute little animals, it doesn't mean it is for kids only.

Stupid, but enjoyably stupid
Hey-Gurl22 July 2014
Whenever I see my favorite characters die or see how much pain they can get into, it makes the part very, very stupid, but whenever I see characters I really really really REALLY HATE so much I wish they can jump off a cliff die, I laugh at how painful their death is or how much pain they get into. It's been AGES since Mondo Media last put an episode of this hilarious, enjoyably stupid, and entertaining show on the internet. So, flip all you haters, you all have been hating on a hilarious show that's so hilarious, it's even better than that South Park piece of sh!t for no reason and just whine like little babies. Imagine if it were a baby show. I'm pretty sure that Happy Tree Friends would be the best baby show in this generation.

Addicting, but Very Disturbing
QuadeC201015 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I've recently just started watching this show after it became available on Netflix, and I have so say, some part of the show make me ache and squirm, but for some reason I can't get enough of it. Maybe because it's disguised with cute, animated characters. I feel like that is the only way the developers of this show could make it. You know that if this were real characters instead of animated characters, this show would've been canceled before it started. Just a warning, this isn't for all ages. It's gross, it's disturbing, it's HORRIBLY wrong, but extremely addicting at the same time. The cute characters are smeared, scraped, they lose eyes, brains, guts, and mainly intestines. If you are sensitive to these types of things (ie gore and blood) then avoid this show immediately. But I definitely can say that it's a funny, guilty pleasure of mine.

Utterly Disgusting
darkmare3767 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
What demented S**t heads came up with this series?! All it is is animal abuse.

It's colorful campy cutesy cartoon animals getting mauled and mutilated.

I almost threw up watching one of these and never watched another one.

This web series is so disgusting it's not worth watching. Take my advice, stay away from this thing and don't look back.

I don't know what went through the creator's head but it definitely wasn't good.

He probably thought 'I want to make a series where there's no story and only contains cartoon animals getting murdered'

I think that's what he thought.

But this show is just all gross out and that's all the humor you get.

Take heed lock your head away from this show it'll make you throw up your entrails.

Now if you'll excuse I'm gonna pet a squirrel and moose at the same time.

Oh and also shoot down the creator of this show and choke him with rubber.

Don't be fooled by the art style and the animals' cuteness, this is a nightmare...
hsp-5486830 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Happy Tree Friends looks like a cute little kids' cartoon, but it's not... It seems awful and misleading... It's about cute little cartoon animals getting blown, pounded, and injured all the time. Why would anyone think this is funny?!?! Its not!! This type of humor only appeals to psychopaths and creeps. I could imagine a little kid wanting to watch this, and their parents turn it on for them, but when a kid sees one of the characters getting mutilated, I bet the kid would be terrified. Especially looking at one of the toys, they might feel terrified too. Oh my god, If you are a parent who has offspring, please don't show them this, because they would be frightened for the rest of their lives. 1/10
