He is also present in the last scene of each of these episodes, with the exception of The Wrong Side of the Tracks. However, his severed antlers do appear in the last scene of this episode.
 * Nuttin' but the Tooth, Wrath of Con, and Butter Me Up are the only episodes in which Lumpy appears and makes no audible vocal sounds.
 * Lumpy is the seventh character to die in the TV series.
 * Lumpy is in almost every single No Survivors episodes. The only ones he doesn't appear in are Boo Do You Think You Are?, Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya!, and My Better Half.
 * Lumpy kills Cuddles and Giggles in the first irregular, internet, and TV episodes.
 * Lumpy is the only character to kill every other character on the show at least once.
 * He is also the only character to have killed Mr. Pickels (Debatable).
 * Lumpy has killed Cuddles, Toothy, and The Mole at least once in every season.
 * Without his Class Act kills, his kill count would drop from 335 to 296.
 * Most of his injuries involve the removal of his appendages and falling from high distances.
 * Lumpy appears in every two-part episode, but has never had a real on-screen death in them.
 * Lumpy is one of the few characters to eat/drink the remains of another character, the others areGiggles, Cuddles, Lammy (Offscreen), Petunia, Flaky, The Mole, (Offscreen) Russell, and both sides of Flippy.
 * Although Lumpy appears to be an overall nice character and usually does not kill other characters intentionally, he seems to be one of the most hated characters in the show due to his stupidity.
 * Despite Lumpy being known for killing other characters, he has only killed Disco Bear (a character who dies often) four times.
 * He is one of the few characters to have made Flippy flip out. The others are Cuddles, Nutty (twice),Flaky (twice), Mime, and The Mole.
 * Similar to Flippy, he has cursed at least once in the series. Lumpy said "What the hell?" in Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow and "Come on, goddammit!" in Kringle Feast, and can at times be heard saying "What the fuck?".
 * Lumpy is the first character from Happy Tree Friends to wear pants, though they are the same color as his skin.
 * According to the commentary from Spin Fun Knowin' Ya, Lumpy's original antlers were bigger and normal, but the crew decided that he looked too much like Bullwinkle (whom he is based off), so his antlers were made smaller and turned in different directions.
 * Lumpy may also be based off Goofy from the Mickey Mouse cartoons, as both have similar personalities, voices, and are the tallest of their respective groups. Ski Patrol, which stars Lumpy, parodies the old Goofy shorts.

 * Cuddles is Lumpy's most frequent victim. He has been killed by him 26 times. Toothy is second at 25 deaths, and Giggles is third, being killed 18 times.

 * Lumpy can be seen living in his trailer in the internet shorts You're Bakin' Me Crazy, Stealing the Spotlight, Nuttin' but the Tooth, Blind Date, By The Seat Of Your Pants and also in the TV episode Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow. But in Aw, Shucks!, Junk in the Trunk, and Peas in a Pod, he has a different, bigger house.
 * The Camp Lazlo character Scoutmaster Lumpus may be a reference to Lumpy. Most importantly, Lumpy had the position of scoutmaster in Take a Hike.
 * In the "Rocko's Modern Life" episode "Bedfellows", a character looking almost exactly like Lumpy has a car dropped on him. However, this episode was made in 1993, so this is only a strangely accurate coincidence.
 * He is usually seen with Handy and The Mole. This trio is described as "no hands, no eyes, no brain".
 * Most of the time, Lumpy's mismatched antlers change positions, although there have been occasions where this does not happen. This is mostly due to laziness on the animators' part, similar to how Toothy's teeth change from his usual teeth to the standard buckteeth.
 * Lumpy, Flaky, Handy, Mr. Pickels, and Russell are the only main characters without visible ears.
 * Lumpy is one of the nine characters who do not have a tail. The other eight are The Mole, Pop, Cub,Flippy, Disco Bear, Giggles, Flaky, Mr. Pickels, and Cro-Marmot.

 * In the Second Servings DVD, Lumpy has his own brand of sponge cakes called "Holiday Kringles", which look like Twinkies.
 * He appears to have blue eyes in Concrete Solution when looking into a nail gun. In Wishy Washy, however, a close-up of his lifeless body shows his eyes to be intensely green.
 * The Fall Out Boy music video The Carpal Tunnel of Love shows him to be allergic to the purple flowers that Cuddles are holding in the video.

 * Lumpy has a pet elephant in Junk in the Trunk.
 * According to the Spin Fun Knowin' Ya Pop Corn video in the First Blood DVD, he went to the state senator to sponsor a bill in order to ban parking airplanes near playgrounds and saved six lives.

 * Lumpy often shaves his face, even though he physically does not have a beard. However, in the episode Double Whammy Part I he had a beard while he worked as Flippy's psychiatrist. From this, it can be assumed that his natural hair color is black, assuming that it was not a fake beard like his fake hair in Wipe Out!.
 * In the internet and TV series, Lumpy occasionally gets killed by animals (Doggone It: dogs, Take a Hike: grizzly bear, Mime to Five: ducks, Letter Late than Never: turtle, From A to Zoo: baboon, a part of his death in Just Desert: vultures, and Pet Peeve: birds).
 * The first episode Lumpy was voiced by David Winn in was Remains to be Seen. Even though Rhode Montijo was credited, his voice was sampled, as can be heard after Flippy bit his left arm off and runs off.
 * He is the first victim of Russell and Cub, and one of the first victims of Toothy and Nutty. He is also the first character to be killed by Lifty and Shifty as a duo.

 * Despite being in most episodes, he has yet to star in a Smoochie.
 * He has the highest kill count of the main characters by far. In fact, he has more kills than Fliqpy andSniffles combined, the next two characters who have the most kills, one of which is primarily famous for the fact that he tends to kill other characters. Splendid and Petunia in Breaking Wind may have more kills than Lumpy, but this is debatable.
 * A rock on Mars was named after Lumpy.
 * The only characters to not kill Lumpy are Flippy, Lammy, and Mr. Pickels.

 * All in all, Lumpy killed someone 52% of the time he appeared, and he has 1.5 kills for every appearance he made.
 * Lumpy is one of the blue characters. The other four are Petunia, Sniffles, Splendid and Truffles.
 * Lumpy is also the name of several other fictional characters.
 * Lumpy has been shown to enjoy eating meat, which is odd since real moose are herbivores. Then again, the characters of Happy Tree Friends are portrayed as mostly human in behaviour, which this may be an example of.
 * Lumpy is the only character to star in three consecutive TV episodes. He is also the only character to star in all three segments of a TV episode (Every Litter Bit Hurts, As You Wish, and Take a Hike, of "Marooned Five"').

The others are Pop, Cro-Marmot, and The Mole.
 * Deep Six is the only TV episode where Lumpy does not star in either of the three segments (though he would normally have a starring role in Dunce Upon a Time).
 * The only four episodes where Lumpy does not kill anyone as a starring character are Meat Me for Lunch, Out on a Limb, A Change of Heart, and Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow.
 * Lumpy's most common job so far is being a surgeon and a policeman.
 * Lumpy is one of the characters who does not have buckteeth, along with Sniffles, Cro-Marmot,Fliqpy, and Mr. Pickels.
 * If you choose Lumpy in the Vision-O-Rama feature on the Third Strike DVD, the movie theater's screen will show an upside down Spin Fun Knowin' Ya, referencing his stupidity.
 * He is the first character to injure and kill Lammy, Mr. Pickels, and Truffles.

 * Cuddles - Was employed as a daredevil in his circus in Mime to Five and as a reporter in See What Develops. He was part of a play directed by Lumpy in Class Act. He was part of a band where Lumpy was an influential member in In a Jam, where Lumpy alone took the decision to employ him. Lumpy was his scoutmaster in Take a Hike.

 * So all in all, only Pop and Cub have not come into Lumpy's influence, authority, or have worked as a subordinate to the blue moose at least once.

 * In We're Scrooged!, he quickly manages to make a paddle with his own eye to prevent Sniffles from leaving the shop.
 * So far he is the only one to be aware of the causes of Flippy's PTSD, since in Without a Hitchand Random Acts of Silence, several characters who appear to be aware of Flippy's problem thought that he would flip out randomly, while in Double Whammy Part I Lumpy figured out the cause of his problem and attempted to cure it.
 * He managed to finish the bridge in Concrete Solution despite his workmates being dead.

 * Lumpy is the only character to defend himself from Evil Flippy. This occurred in By The Seat Of Your Pants.
 * Theoretically, with very low IQ, he should have very high EQ, but he seems to be low on both.

 * Kenn Navarro has stated on Twitter that Lumpy is his favorite character design because his "lanky limbs" are fun to animate.
