Happy Tree Friends - Page 4 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I've never seen HTF but I must admit that I'm becoming more than a little curious, in a morbid sort of way.

There are bits of Foster's I can barely watch.

If there are things in Foster's that you have trouble watching, I assure you, the stuff Happy Tree friends displays is far more harder to swallow. I can't even bare to watch a single minute of the episode without feeling crappy and crummy inside.

I personally don't recommend it for your tastes Cass but that's just me. I don't hate or dislike people who like the show but for me its something I just don't want to think about or see again because it hurts too close to home so to speak.

I know what you're saying. I think my interest is more due to the fact that the premise sounds so ludicrous than anything else; ludicrous like that Geico Caveman show, albeit in a very different way.

I have to admit that I've become curious about this show but I think I'll avoid it. From the sounds of it, it may be a little too much for me...

Um, I just got back from the site... I'm feeling a little disturbed right now.

Don't want to say I told you so, so.....

I take it that your experience didn't go too good Cass?

(Yeah, my 1st reaction to the site was the same thing.)

The episode... eyeballs can't do that...

some episodes are funny, though.

Where the crazed army guy has a flashback in a diner and kills everyone because he thinks they're Viet Cong

THAT was classic.

Oddly enough, I've actually seen a couple of episodes of this cartoon, even though it was clearly never intended for the likes of me. (Blood? Gore? The visceral disassembly of cute, fluffy little animals? And me being notoriously squeamish? No thank you.

)

I remember my brother first describing it to me as being "exactly like Itchy and Scatchy" (a rather ineffective selling point, given that I've never cared that much for I & S), but when my morbid curiosity finally got the better of me a few short years later, I discovered to my detriment that he was way off the mark. I mean, at least in I & S the gutting and dismembering is as a result of the deliberate actions of a very sadistic rodent (even if his feline victim is totally undeserving). With Happy Tree Friends, on the other hand, the characters are all just so darling and, well, happy, and are really just out for a good time in which to enjoy one another's company. I have to agree with Mr. M about the crappy, crummy feeling that tends to seep in whilst watching them befall one tragic, bloody accident after another. C'mon, they're so damned adorable. I really don't want to see them die.

If HTF is your thing, then you're welcome to it. Same goes for I&S. Me, however, whenever I fancy my fill of seeing two supposedly cute and innocent little creatures inflicting nasty injuries upon one another, I'll stick with Aardman's Pib and Pog. Pib and Pog were a work of bloody genius. Without a drop of blood at all, in fact.
