    if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

    Happy Tree Friends. What more do I have to say here? On the surface, Happy Tree Friends appears to be family friendly with its cutesy art style and character designs. However, this is merely a façade underneath which belies a truly screwed up premise. Each episode starts off fine with cute little forest animals going about their daily lives but then without that much time in, the show transforms into a violent display of death and mayhem with characters getting into horrible accidents or dying in some of the most brutal ways. Which is one of the reasons as to why I love the show.I can't remember the first video from Mondo Media I watched about Happy Tree Friends, but I can definitely recall being utterly shocked because I was reeled in thinking that it was a kids' show. To me, the violence reminds me of some of the older cartoons such as Wile E. Coyote and Tom and Jerry. I always imagined what it would be like if for instance Wile E. Coyote was crushed by an anvil from ACME but with a more realistic spin to it, or if Tom got into accidents that he couldn't easily recover from. Happy Tree Friends fulfills that curiosity for me. Knowing the gist behind how each episode plays out, it would seem that the show would lose some interest due to its predictability, but Happy Tree Friends usually subverts this by playing with expectations to keep the show fresh. They would set up a scenario where it appears to be a shoo-in for a character to meet their bloody end only to then subvert that expectation...only to have them die a different way. For instance, there's one episode where Flaky -- a nervous-prone porcupine -- is blending nuts only for the gear to get clogged. At first it's pretty obvious that she would get horribly maimed if she were to try to reach in and unclog it, but at the last minute, she stops herself and goes to turn off the blender. She dies later on when she accidentally ingests some nuts and bloats up exploding when a blind mole mistakes her for the donkey. Another character winds up falling victim to the blender. This bait and switch tactic is one of the things I love about the show aside from its creativity when devising endless numbers of ways for the forest animals to die. The characters for the most part are simplistic in personality. There's Petunia, a skunk who has severe disdain for anything dirty and must clean it due to her OCD. There's Lumpy, a moose who is often the one indirectly responsible for the deaths of the other characters his main schtick being that he has several jobs despite his idiocy. Sniffles, a nerdy anteater who is often seen inventing or trying to eat a family of ants (who are some of the worst characters in the show). Or Nutty, a squirrel obsessed with candy or anything sugary. As for characters I personally like there is Flippy. Flippy is a green bear who suffers from PTSD that he had acquired from his time in the W. A. R. While he is probably one of the nicest characters in the show, whenever he sees anything that reminds him of his time in service whether it be a knife, gun sound, or fire, he shifts into his "Fliqpy" persona. And he is an absolute beast whenever he is in that persona. As Fliqpy, he can relentlessly kill other characters with ease and is a force to be reckoned with. One of my favorite episodes with Flippy is "Double Whammy" where he realizes all of the carnage he causes whilst in his Fliqpy alter ego and tries to find ways to suppress it which eventually leads to him having an all out war with his evil side. Despite some of the character's simplistic personalities some do have moments where they have hidden depths such as Disco-Bear. Originally I disliked this character, but later episodes give indications that he has low self-esteem so he acts like an egotistical jerk in order to gain acceptance. Other than that, a very enjoyable show for anyone who is into this type of visceral black comedy, but be warned that it is most certainly not for young children or anyone who finds this type of comedy squeamish.

    You see, On Youtube. When a user gets a copyright strike, Youtube force those users to watch a special Happy Tree Friends video that teaches users the law about Copyright. And I hate it when it happens. I remember seeing a clip of it on Nighttime with John Stossel. And he mention that Youtube has their own channel and posted this warning video about Copyright Laws. And it was the Happy Tree Friend video titled "Youtube's Copyright Lawsuit School". I remember Stossel said to the lawyer, It sounds like you get punished if people keep complaining you are stealing their stuffs. And the lawyer explains that if you get three strikes, You will get banned from the internet for life. And Stossel replied, Not from the Internet. But you do get banned from Youtube. Well, I do hate Happy Tree Friends of the video they made to teach us the rules about Copyright.

    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.

    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...
