List of Occupations

In the very early episodes, all characters (excluding Lumpy, Pop, The Mole, Disco Bear, and Cro-Marmot) were depicted as children. But as the series progressed, the age did not matter, and the characters started to act like teenagers or adults.

Happy Tree Friends mimics the real world in a couple of ways, one of which being that the characters have jobs/occupations. This page covers these occupations along with other roles, such as Lumpy playing a giant in Dunce Upon a Time. What is demonstrated here is the sheer number of jobs in the 100+ episodes of Happy Tree Friends, also making it possible to see who gets what types of jobs where it is noticeable.
