Pretty much what you said, just because Pop looked away for a second and Cub is already in a bloody mess, Pop may be oblivious but this is htf after all, mixing these two and you will get the result of constant deaths for Cub and even himself, unless they're lucky enough in some episodes. I kind of get the feeling that they originally intend Pop to be a good parent that constantly dies and Cub survives more (Havin' A Ball and the beginning of Chip Off O'l Block anyone?) But they decided to turn the idea upside down because it is htf after all, i felt like Lumpy is what actually makes the show to this amazing level (pssst Homer Simpson reference) and he is like Lumpy but with a son, he usually kills Cub out of accident because of his lack of interaction with most characters. It's meant for laughs despite being dark, most non-fans hate him but most htf fans actually find it hilarious, it would be unfunny for the baby to kill the parent as a lot of other medias usually make the babies/children deserve better. But he actually do remain as a proud and loving parent, only not the sharpest tool in the shed personality-wise. I believe he is only out of character in Chore Loser because i felt like it's so unlike himself for the beginning and it's only a break after all, i feared that he will gain more hate from that short.

Enough with that Pop topic, i probably have talked much more than i should even though i do in fact favor Pop .u.

I probably couldn't agree more, it's basically the symbolism of bad luck and taboo in the show and all, but i don't focus on it that much. It's probably Lumpy himself that confuses Toothy's cocktail for actual iceberg but the idol can very well be the reason that the iceberg is spawned in that direction, the fissure followed Sniffles all the way to the museum just for him to face his demise. But i don't think it is the idol that caused Nutty to eat Sniffles, it's only his own sugar addiction, it's most likely an addiction that is ridiculously excessive, that causes Nutty to think that some other inanimate objects taste like candy in a few occasions (like he doesn't feel anything strange about the taste of the beanstalk growing out of him and thinks it tastes like candy cane in Dunce Upon a Time).
