Happy Tree Friends is an adult-oriented, black comedy flash-animated web series that parodies cute children's shows by subjecting adorable woodland animals to extreme, graphic violence. Overview and History • Creation: Created by Aubrey Ankrum, Rhode Montijo, and Kenn Navarro for Mondo Media. • Launch: Debuted on the internet in December 2000 and quickly gained a massive cult following. • Format: Features short episodes where cute, lovable characters trigger or fall victim to gruesome, slapstick accidents, mutilations, and deaths. Main Characteristics • The Premise: Characters live peaceful lives until a simple action or mishap starts a bloody chain reaction. • Lumpy: A blue-antlered moose who is inept and frequently causes accidental tragedies with the highest kill count in the series. • Flippy: A kind green bear veteran whose war-related PTSD is triggered by sudden noises, turning him into a violent alter-ego ("Fliqpy").
