Name: Nutty Gender: Male Animal: Squirrel Episode: 32 TV Count: 2 Kill Count: 15 Deaths: 27 (23 from Episodes, 3 from Smoochies, 1 from Music Video) First Appearance: Nuttin Wrong With Candy First Death: Nuttin' Wrong with Candy First Victim: Lumpy from Concrete Solution Voice Actor: Michael "Lippy" Lipman Nutty is one of the main characters in the Happy Tree Friends series.

Character bio
A yellow-green squirrel with one yellow diamond shaped marking on his head and an addiction for candy or anything that is sugary. Nutty has a large, curled-up tail that moves when he's excited. He has a big swirly lollipop, candy cane, small all-day sucker, and a candy apple stuck to his fur, which he even treats as his wardrobe, as evidenced in Chew Said A Mouthful episode, although this sometimes changes. From his debut in the episode Nuttin' Wrong with Candy, the candy attached to his fur fell off, therefore Nutty was seen without candy stuck to him for the first time.

The second time Nutty was seen without candy attached to him is in the beginning of the episode, Chew Said a Mouthful. One of his eyes resembles googly eyes and the other bears a slight resemblance to Flippy's 'flipped-out' eyes. It's apparent that his googly eye is an amblyopia, or lazy eye, as it's almost always looking down and drops down whenever he looks somewhere else.

As a result of his huge sugar intake he is often hyperactive and jittery, and giggles more than he talks. Sometimes he even giggles while he dies. He was first heard saying that he wishes for a scrumptious lollipop in As You Wish. One drop of sugar makes him hyper and creates a tornado like "Taz the Tasmanian Devil". He also foams at the mouth when deprived of candy or any other sugar-related items. As seen in the False Alarm episode, he can go insane due to long hours without candy. It also shows that once he can lose an addiction, he can start a new one like playing video games for a very long time.

Nutty will do whatever it takes to get the sugar he wants. If he doesn't get what he wants he becomes very irate. Nutty will eat other types of "food" occasionally (like in Class Act, when he eats part of Sniffles' body, thinking it was a candy cane, or in Concrete Solution when he ate a whole bag of cement mix, mistaking it for a bag sugar), but it's a very rare case. He seems to lack common sense, which is evidenced in many episodes.

He is one of the few characters to have an account on the website MySpace, where it mentions he has fourteen dental cavities. This is probably not helped the fact that he brushes his teeth with a lollipop and sugar, and uses soda as mouthwash. He drinks coffee ground from jellybeans.

In the Second Serving DVD, he has his own breakfast cereal called "Sugar Frosted Nutty Honey", but there are hardly any cereal pieces in it - the picture only shows a large pile of sugar in the bowl. Nutty can be seen eating this cereal in Concrete Solution.

Nutty is usually featured in episodes which revolve around candy, except for Eye Candy, where Toothy was used instead. It was rumored that when Eye Candy was made, Nutty had already been prominently featured in another episode, which was why that choice was made.

Nutty's love of candy has often led to the demise of both himself and others, however it is his hyperactive personality that has made him another of the show's most memorable characters. Nutty cares more about candy than his friends. In Party Animal, it is seen that when Flaky ate one of the peanuts, he goes to help her, but he sees the candy and pushes her out of the way to eat the candy. In A Sucker for Love, Pt. One he tried to steal a lollipop from Cub. His deaths usually involve either his mouth, getting impaled, getting crushed, split apart, shredded, or breathing problems.

The only episodes he has survived in are Out of Sight, Out of Mime, Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm Episode, Nuttin' but the Tooth, I Get a Trick Out of You, Mime to Five, In a Jam, A Change of Heart and (debatably) Who's to Flame?.

Trivia

 * Nutty was the first character to die in the TV series premiere.
 * Nutty has rabies which is mentioned in the "Collect Them All" section of the First Blood DVD.
 * After Nutty got killed in A Sight for Sore Eyes, Russell mistook his googly eye as his contact lens. Because Russel saw that his kite was made of Candy, this is evidence that Nutty may see everything as candy because of his eyes.
 * Nutty's googly eye is originally his left eye. But in some episodes he appears in, his googly eye switches sides on his face, either right or left, like Lumpy's mismatched antlers change positions.
 * Nutty rides a push scooter in Sweet Ride and a motor scooter in The Carpal Tunnel of Love.
 * He has a candy cane pattern on a lot of things he owns (e.g., his surfboard in Wipe Out).
 * In the False Alarm Bonus Cartoon, after Nutty left the rehab center, he was seen wearing a necktie, had hair, and no longer had lazy eye.
 * Nutty, unlike most characters, doesn't have Pac-man-like eyes.
