Happy tree friends

[Virtual ghost]

I am surprised that there is not thread about this. Unless mods erase it as soon it is created. (I guess we/I will find out)

For those who don't know “Happy tree friends” are cartoon series.

To tell you the truth this is humor exactly how I like it.

So here is one example of these cartoons.

If it is not obvious the pink guy in the end is a mole.

What do you think about this?

Hmm... 35 views and no reply ?

I guess it is not a humor people want to talk about.

I've seen a few episodes from time to time. It's just not funny to me. Not that I'm offended. Just it's not clever enough to make me laugh. I end up going "so he got his face run ground off by a tire...and?"...it's too much like gorey slapstick.

Oh I LOVE HAPPY TREE FRIENDS!!!
They are hilarious!

I guess I just appreciate the over the topness about it and the style it has of having such cute cuddly characters.

It is like what Looney Tunes would really look like if they actually showed the follow through of the violence and the mishaps that they encountered.

I like the Raccoon's the best for some reason.

I wonder if you also like the Darwin Awards.

Used to watch on occasion. It's funny, but I'm over it.

 

[Phantonym]

Haha. I've watched it occasionally. Sick and twisted . I like it but I'd rather not watch it all the time or it would get really boring, really fast. Mix it up with other fun things and I'm sold

I've seen a few of the shorts and overall, I usually find myself laughing a fair bit, although it can be a bit excessive.

It's compelling. Half the time it's pretty amusing and sometimes relaxing, the other half kinda sickening and 'Your point?'

After you showed me this I went to youtube and saw all of their videos there. Then went to their site and saw almost all of the HTF videos there.

Overall I'd say that it is fun (Flippy is so f***ing awesome) and interesting, but I rarely laughed. I'd say that I see it with depth and 'Irony', not just empty, gory killing of adorable woodland creatures. Some of the things are clever, in various ways, such as the episode where Sniffles (The incredibly smart INTP anteater) builds a time machine is clever in the 'Cirular' manner.

I haven't watched it in at least five years, but I didn't care much for it then.

they are fucking hilarious. i don't know that i'd always be in the mood for them, but there are times when i want to indulge in my dark sick humor and enjoy watching cute cartoon animals being killed in creative and violent ways.
