HTF's Episode Description
Spin Fun is the very first Happy Tree Friends episode! This show introduces the core character group and also sets up the theme of "innocent mayhem" that runs throughout the entire series. Lumpy is spinning the gang on a merry-go-round, only to have things spiral out of control. A clip of this show was seen in Jennifer Aniston's movie, "The Good Girl."

Plot
Cuddles, Toothy and Giggles are taken to the Park by Lumpy, and they all have a ride on a roundabout. So, with the kids on, Lumpy starts it up, but Cuddles wants him to spin them faster. Only too happy to oblige, Lumpy starts to speed up their ride of death. As the group spin around faster and faster, they soon realize that what they asked for was not such a good idea.

With the roundabout at top speed, the kids start to fly off of it one by one, Toothy, being the first one to go, loses his grip and hits a tree at lethal speed; his carcass slides slowly down the tree trunk, the force of the impact leaving his teeth embedded in the tree. Giggles, the next one to go, comes off with a piece of the roundabout's pipe, and flies through the air to be cut in two by a chopped piece of wood; her upper half starts to slide down, but then is impaled upon the pipe.

Cuddles was the last to go, as he had the strength to hold on, but his hands are ripped from his arms by the sheer speed of the roundabout. He then flies off into a grounded plane's engine and is completely shredded, leaving blood everywhere. When Lumpy finally runs out of breath, he realizes the fates of the children, and walks away, whistling, pretending nothing has happened, as Cuddles' hands slip down the roundabout.

Moral
"Don't forget to Floss!"

Deaths

 * 1) Lumpy kills Toothy when he spins the roundabout, Toothy loses his grip and is impaled onto a Tree.
 * 2) Lumpy kills Giggles right after Toothy, the pipe of the roundabout she was clinging onto breaks away and she is sent into a chopped piece of wood, cut horizontally in half, as her upper body slides down the wood, she is impaled by the roundabout's pipe.
 * 3) Lumpy kills Cuddles when his hands break away from his arms, sending him hurtling towards a grounded plane's working engines, shredding him like a blender.

Goofs

 * In the beginning of the episode, Cuddles has white cheeks, they later become pink.
 * This is the only episode where Giggles does not have a light pink streak on her head, maybe not so much a goof, more like a remnant of a previous idea.
 * Toothy has two hairs on his head in this episode, afterwards, however, they are gone, maybe not a goof either, but it is different from the usual look of Toothy.
