Treasure Those Idol Moments

"Treasure Those Idol Moments" (called "Treasure These Idol Moments" on YouTube) is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, the eleventh of the first season. This is also the first episode to star the death-inducing idol as a cause of death to a character (its first appearance in an episode was a cameo appearance in Crazy Antics).

HTF's Episode Description
The gang that plays together... dies together! The idol makes a starring appearance in this show and proves just how dangerous it can be to play with hidden treasures. Some fans think this episode was based on the Brady Bunch (remember their vacation in Hawaii?), and others say Raiders of the Lost Ark. What do you think??

Plot
The episode begins with Toothy swinging on the swings. Suddenly, he falls off and lands on his teeth. As Toothy rubs his mouth in pain, he notices something shining in the sand. He picks it up, revealing it's the Cursed Idol. As Toothy looks at it in awe, the swing he was on suddenly rams the back of his head, killing him.

Elsewhere, Sniffles in playing in the sandbox, and the Cursed Idol lands in the sandbox. A fascinated Sniffles runs up to the idol and picks it up. Suddenly, he begins sinking, as the sandbox now became quicksand. He continues sinking until his entire body is submerged.

At the slide, Cub just reached the bottom of the slide, when suddenly, the Cursed Idol lands in his hands. Cub then notices a shadow above him, He looks up, and sees a giant boulder on top of the slide. Then the boulder crushes Cub, sending the Cursed Idol in the air.

On the Monkey Bars, Flaky is hanging upside down and swinging herself back and forth. Then the Cursed Idol lands in her hands. Suddenly, she sees an oncoming car coming towards her. As Flaky shrieks in terror, she gets hit and killed by the car.

The the owner of the car activates the windshield wipers, revealing Lumpy as the driver. Unbeknownst to him, he doesn't notice the Cursed Idol in the backseat. As the screen fades to black, we can hear the tires screeching, and the car crashes onto something, possibly killing Lumpy.
