Lumpy/Trivia

General Trivia

 * Lumpy is similar to Homer Simpson, as both are known for their stupidity, both have held many occupations, both have been shown to eat a lot, and Lumpy's relationship with Cuddles is somewhat similar to Homer's relationship with Bart.
 * Lumpy is on one of Flaky's baseball cards in Flaky's Baseball Smoochie.
 * His season 3 starring pop up is the only pop-up where his eyes aren't crossed to indicate how dumb he is.
 * 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 also the name of several other fictional characters.
 * Lumpy, along with Lifty, Handy, and Cuddles make a cameo appearance as a totem pole in Gundarr, another Mondo Media show.
 * 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.
 * Currently Lumpy has spoken English more than any other character in the show.
 * Lumpy is one of the few characters to eat/drink the remains of another character, the others are Giggles, 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.
 * 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 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.
 * He might be inspired by Bud Budiovitch and Stereo Monovici from Space Goofs, because of their stupidities and height.
 * Lumpy can be seen living in his trailer in You're Bakin' Me Crazy, Stealing the Spotlight, Nuttin' but the Tooth, Blind Date, By The Seat Of Your Pants, Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow, and In Over Your Hedge. 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.
 * In the Second Servings DVD, Lumpy has his own brand of sponge cakes called "Holiday Kringles", which look like Twinkies.
 * 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 likes golfing, as is seen in Chew Said a Mouthful and Tongue in Cheek.
 * Lumpy cannot control cars or other vehicles very well, as is seen in The Way You Make Me Wheel, Can't Stop Coffin,The Carpal Tunnel of Love, Happy Trails Pt. 1, Treasure Those Idol Moments, Get Whale Soon, and An Inconvenient Tooth.
 * There is a running gag with Lumpy that occurs when he tries to drive, only to have his ride set in reverse which leads to the death of another character. He does this in The Way You Make Me Wheel, Can't Stop Coffin, and The Carpal Tunnel of Love.
 * He can sometimes be selfish and greedy when it comes to money, as can be seen in Mime to Five and We're Scrooged!.
 * 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.
 * There have only been 9 TV episodes out of 37 that Lumpy has been in where he has not had a job.
 * A rock on Mars was named after Lumpy.
 * In season 3, his alliterate sentence is: For a lazy lunch, try left-over loaf!
 * Lumpy is one of only four characters to survive three consecutive segments in the TV episodes. This happens in Behind the Eight Ball (Blast from the Past, Chew Said a Mouthful, and See What Develops) and Friday the 13th (Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow, Double Whammy Part I, and Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II)). The others are Pop, Cro-Marmot, and The Mole.
 * 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.

 * He has appeared in every Halloween episode except Boo Do You Think You Are?.
 * He is one of the two characters who have taken on Fliqpy in a fight and won (in Remains to be Seen). The other one is the Flippy himself (in Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II)).

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.

 * Petunia - Spun gold for him in his castle in Dunce Upon a Time and was his student in Something Fishy. Lumpy was her scoutmaster in Take a Hike.
 * Sniffles - Worked at his newspaper in See What Develops and has a part in a play directed by Lumpy in Class Act. Lumpy was his scoutmaster in Take a Hike. He was part of a band where Lumpy was an influential member in In a Jam, as could be seen when Lumpy was seen as the one who decided to hire Cuddles.
 * The Mole - Worked at his newspaper in See What Develops and has a part in a play directed by Lumpy in Class Act.
 * Flaky - Worked for his circus in Mime to Five, has a part in a play directed by Lumpy in Class Act, and was his student in Something Fishy. Lumpy was her scoutmaster in Take a Hike.

 * Lammy - Was her jailor and arresting officer in A Bit of a Pickle.
 * Mr Pickles - Was the jailor of Lammy in A Bit of a Pickle.
 * Disco Bear - He was his police partner in A Vicious Cycle.
 * 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 the episode Wingin' It, Lumpy says, "Guess where I'm calling from... a plane." This may be a reference to a Family Guy episode were Peter Griffin is on a plane and says the exact same words as Lumpy.
 * Despite Lumpy being usually portrayed as unintelligent, there are some episodes where he shows some intelligence:
 * In Doggone It, he was the only one to realize the reason for Whistle's attacks.
 * In A Sight for Sore Eyes, he realized the danger of The Mole's blindness and gave him a dog to replace his cane.
 * 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.
 * In In Over Your Hedge, he combines a pair of hedge shears with a weed-whacker so he can trim his bushes quicker.
 * 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.

Design

 * The early version of Lumpy was a dinosaur-like animal (eg. Banjo Frenzy).
 * This design is also seen as mask in Wrath of Con, specifically worn by Cub.
 * 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.
 * Lumpy is one of the blue characters. The other four are Petunia, Sniffles, Splendid and Truffles.
 * 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.
 * 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. This goof is easier to notice when Lumpy is looking back and forth.
 * Lumpy wears an invisible T-shirt that blends in with his skin. When he takes it off, he can be seen with a tan line, nipples, buttocks, and genitals. He accidentally flashes Giggles in both You're Bakin' Me Crazy and Let It Slide.
 * While most of the characters have visible ears, Lumpy has inner ear holes, as is evident in Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow.
 * 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!.
 * He is the only character apart from Lammy and Mr. Pickels who does not appear with mitten hands. He always has fingers.
 * Lumpy does not have a tail, which is odd as real moose have tails (though tiny stubby ones).
