HTF's Episode Description
One of our most requested episodes, Eye Candy has a high degree of cringe factor! What is it about the eyes that make people squirm so much? It's hard to watch Eye Candy without a real physical reaction, but that's the beauty of this episode. Eye Candy won a prize at the Annecy Film Festival in France and continues to be a real fan favorite.

Plot
Toothy happily runs through the forest, holding a large yellow lollipop in front of him. He trips over a log, which causes the lollipop to get lodged in his eye socket. Screaming, he pulls on the lollipop's stick, forcing his eye, and the nerve fibers connecting it to his head, to fly out of his head. The nerve fibers on his eye get tangled around a tree branch.

Toothy tries pulling on his nerve fibers, but that doesn't work. Crying, he begins climbing the tree. When he reaches the branch his eye is resting on, we get a view for how difficult it is for Toothy to see with both of his eyes pointed in different directions.

Toothy reaches for his eye, but unfortunately a woodpecker lands on the branch and starts pecking his eye. Recoiling from the pain, Toothy falls off of the branch and eventually stops falling when his nerve fibers act as a bungee cord. Toothy tries climbing back up his nerve fibers, but he loses his grip and slides down again.

Flailing in agony, Toothy's brain is pulled out from his eye socket followed by his other eye as Toothy falls the ground a few feet below him. Before the episode ends, the bird defecates on Toothy's head.

Moral
"Keep your Eye on the prize!"
