Lumpy's Careers

Lumpy is a character in Happy Tree Friends who the creators rely on for something to go wrong, he's their fall-guy, the series' anti-fail-safe, when something needs to go wrong, Lumpy's there to make it happen; and it's no wonder that he has been given many jobs, the most jobs, this is mainly because many of them require skill, concentration, and finesse, which Lumpy does not have. So far, he has been given 40 different jobs and roles, and has been at it 49 times, many with disastrous consequences. Another reason why Lumpy his careers get a more thorough explanation than say The Mole and Handy, who are often seen with him, is because The Mole doesn't know what's going on, so it's just mistake after mistake, Handy doesn't have any hands, so he cannot perform certain action that would stop many deaths and injuries in the show, and these two designs can be fairly repetitive compared to Lumpy. Lumpy makes a mistake or a misjudgement and can try to compensate, and this allows an even greater variety of ways the situation can go from bad to worse, which is a good reason to use him so much.
