My REAL Thoughts on Happy Tree Friends

D'oh, I pulled a Wii U again. By that I mean, do you remember in a previous blog when I said negative things about the Wii U and also had no idea what I was talking about? Well, I've done it again. Here is my REAL thoughts on Happy Tree Friends:


I was exposed it to at a friend's birthday party when I was younger and absolutely hated the gore. But about two weeks ago, I finally sat down and watched a full episode (for the first time in years). To be honest, I actually liked it. I've since binge watched the series (and downloaded a few of them on my computer). It is actually a funny, clever, and well-written series. Let me talk about WHY I find it funny:

I personally have always laughed at gross stuff. The gore is certainly a part of the reason I like it but here is something the haters don't realize. Not EVERY SINGLE joke is gory, if you watch closely, there are plenty of funny non-violent gags. There is also good writing and character development under all the violence, the violence is just there to make it appeal to a teenage audience, because trust me no matter how good it is a TEENAGER would not watch some fluffy kiddie show.


What characters do I like?

My absolute favorite character on the show is Nutty, the little green squirrel with candy attached to him. He makes me laugh and he's one of the most highly developed characters. Also, me and Nutty both love our sweets and I can relate to him (more so when I was little), but in a way I still do. Because trust me, we both get hyper when we eat too much sugar. Another character I like is Flaky. Flaky is a little porcupine who's one of the main core characters on the show. She's SO cute and extremely funny. There's also some character development going on with her, like when we discovered she had a peanut allergy in that one episode. That gag had me rolling on the floor and it way to make me laugh without violence. My third favorite character is Flippy. Flippy is a war veteran bear and while I didn't like him when I first started watching, he's grown on me. Other characters I like include Giggles, Cuddles, Petunia, Lumpy, Sniffles, Handy, and Toothy. My least favorites are The Mole and Lammy.
