Lifty and Shifty's Relationships



This article focuses on the interactions between Lifty and Shifty's interactions with every other main character in the show.

Overview
Lifty and Shifty are normally seen as criminals by other characters as they are known to steal from the other characters on a regular basis. On occasion, however, the other characters show friendship between the two raccoons.

Cuddles
They appear in the same episode on several occasions but rarely interact. Their prime interaction was Junk in the Trunk, where Cuddles unwittingly helps Lifty and Shifty with their scheme, until they steal his pet mouse and get him killed. Also, in a rare moment they show concern for others, Lifty and Shifty attempted to save Cuddles in Claw.

Giggles
Giggles' only interaction with Lifty and Shifty occurs in Gems the Breaks where she and Petunia are tied up while Lifty and Shifty steal their lemonade stand and the profits made from it.

Toothy
Lifty and Shifty have taken advantage of Toothy once in Junk in the Trunk. He simply acted puzzled after Lifty tapped his shoulder, not suspecting they would steal his pet tortoise. They also appeared at a dinner party together sitting opposite each other in Kringle Feast, implying somewhat of a friendship. Also, they are both awed by his singing in Class Act.

Lumpy

Due to his low intelligence, Lifty and Shifty steal from Lumpy moreso than they do any other character. As a result, they are not normally on good terms with each other, however, they demonstrate friendship in episodes such as The Wrong Side of the Tracks, Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark and Doggone It.

Petunia
Lifty and Shifty robbed Petunia's lamp store in As You Wish. He also tied her and Giggles up in Gems the Breaks.

Handy
Handy is a victim of a few of Lifty and Shifty's heists, as seen in Wheelin' and Dealin' and Don't Yank My Chain. However, he was genuinely happy when the duo provided a raft for him and every other character on the island in Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark and avenged their deaths by killing Flaky.

Sniffles
Lifty and Shifty provided Sniffles and the other islanders with a raft in Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark. They also take the magic lamp off him in As You Wish, mocking his loss of arms.

Pop
Lifty and Shifty have stolen from Pop twice, in Easy For You to Sleigh and Who's to Flame?.

Flaky
Flaky has interacted with Lifty and Shifty twice.

In Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark they provide a raft for her and the other characters to escape from the island, though this ends when Flaky pops the raft with her quills. They also use her to make fake snow in Class Act, much to her obvious dismay.

Nutty
Lifty and Shifty have taken advantage of Nutty's addiction on several occasions.

In Dunce Upon a Time, they tricked Nutty into swapping his cow for their magic jelly beans.

In the False Alarm episode, they nearly killed Nutty after dropping a truck full of candy on him, but considering how Nutty ended up at hospital rather than dead, it can be said that they saved Nutty. After Nutty was cured of his addiction, they provided him a new one in order to gain more of his money. Nutty even chased them down when he needed more video games, killing them in process.

In Swelter Skelter, they killed Nutty (likely by accident) in order to get his ice cream.

Each other
Main article: Lifty-Shifty Relationship

As is to be expected, Lifty and Shifty work together all the time during their heists, however they are not prone to betraying or mocking each other.

The Mole
Lifty and Shifty will steal from The Mole like any other character, examples being Buns of Steal, Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II) and Don't Yank My Chain.

Disco Bear
Like most characters, Disco Bear is enemies with the duo, as seen in Sea What I Found. He does however, make a friendly deal with them in Easy Comb, Easy Go.

Flippy
Much like everyone else, Lifty and Shifty have taken advantage of Flippy. In Easy For You to Sleigh, the thieving duo break into and rob his home, tying him to a chair as he sleeps. Realizing the situation, Flippy flips out from a flashback of the war and ultimately kills the unwelcome guests. On a more positive note, Lifty and Shifty offered to help Flippy and his friends in Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark.

Russell
Lifty and Shifty and Russell are clearly not on good terms, as seen in Sea What I Found.

Mime
Considering their reputation, it can be assumed that Mime does not like Lifty and Shifty. The kleptomaniac duo steal Mime's (supposedly) imaginary safe in Easy For You to Sleigh.

Cro-Marmot
Lifty and Shifty kidnapped Cro-Marmot in Swelter Skelter and naturally are not on good terms with each other.
