MY RANKINGS AND REVIEWS OF STILL ALIVE
(Don't judge them or they'll judge you!)

1. A Handy Nanny
As my user page says, Nutty's my fave and Cub's my second fave in HTF. You may be wondering then, why is Going Out with a Bang below this episode on the list, if GOWAB stars Nutty and this episode has Cub as a main character? Well, there are two valid reasons.

For one thing, Cub only got a minor injury and Pop didn't get injured at all. This is opposite GOWAB, where Cub got a huge injury and Pop died.

As for the second reason, the storyboard confirmed that at the end of this episode, Cub is sleeping. I know you'll find my reasoning weird, but seeing little characters sleep really brightens me. Heck, I even wished for this in Sept 2016! (even though Still Alive isn't the TV series) Hence this episode is an instant fave.

2. Going Out With a Bang
Well, this episode I purchased quite early. Since it's the only episode with Nutty, it's high on the list. Not to mention Nutty changed from what I'm used to. Yes, there is one thing about the episode which seriously changed my viewpoint of Nutty. From one side of the card to the other. And what is that?

Nutty pooping.

This isn't the first time HTF involved defecation, though see Petunia in Something Fishy, Lumpy in A Hole Lotta Love and Flaky in Royal Flush. These scenes nevertheless seem weird to me, and I'm most comfortable seeing them after pooping myself IRL. Here's a friend who views defecation the same way that I view sleep.

Also, the fact that Nutty smelled a stench in the outhouse, and lit a match causing an explosion, indicates that his bowels really did things.

Also, something looks familiar about Cuddles' eye injury from the ember...

3. Thank you for being a blood donor!
This isn't an episode. I'd nevertheless like to review it because pretty cute things happen there. This vid thanks me for buying the episodes. In it, Giggles is in a coma and needs to be revived, so Lumpy takes blood from his own body and injects it into Giggles. He somehow messes up and splatters blood onto her face, making her breathe hard.

This is actually pretty clever, how "blood donations" refer to monetary payments.

4. Just Be Clause
An interesting Christmas-themed episode which ends in an Easter style. Glad to see the Reindeer again, who could tell me whether calling Mime a reindeer is innocent. Speaking of Mime, I don't quite understand how he blew up.

5. An Inconvenient Tooth
The reason this is 2nd to last is, it's a clever episode and all, but it makes me feel worse about Toothy. Toothy cried in six episodes already and AIT is his seventh. He really needs to live with his family.

6. In Over Your Hedge
I found this episode uninteresting, TBH. For one thing, it takes ideas from Random Acts of Silence, which has the WORST of HTF I've seen (a paper cut in the eye). Also, this Flippy flipping out I no longer find funny. Something more clever could have been done, like Cuddles and Toothy running along to revert him.
