Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Whose Line Is It Anyway? is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, the fifteenth of the first season. This episode introduces Russell, a pirate sea otter whose vocabulary mostly consists of "Yarr".

Plot
While fishing on a pier, Russell enjoys a snack of mussels and clams. He doesn't notice a blowfish is in the bucket with his other seafood and Russell swallows it. As he hooks and tries to reel in a fish, the blowfish expands in Russell's throat cutting off his air.

Despite not being able to breathe, Russell still attempts to reel the fish in. His fishing pole breaks and as he tries pulling on the fishing line with his hand, his hand and hook are both cut off. Still determined, Russell grabs the fishing line with his mouth and despite cutting his face, Russell manages to pull the fish in.

Unfortunately Russell landed a swordfish, which flies at him and impales his head. Before the episode ends, the blowfish deflates and Russell lets out a weak "Yar" like helium.

Moral
"Adopt a pet!"
