Crazy Ant-ics is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, and the fourth of the first season. This episode introduces Sniffles, the intelligent anteater who can never seem to catch any ants.

HTF Episode Description

Brainy anteater Sniffles doesn't quite use his head when digging in this particular ant hole. His tasty treat turns ugly when the ants take their revenge. Do you notice what is hidden in the ant hole? Be wary of hidden treasure!

Plot

Our new brainy Happy Tree Friend anteater, Sniffles is seen walking along in the forest, thinking of some math equations. Sniffles then comes upon an anthill. Fascinated, Sniffles slithers his tongue through the pathway. At the very bottom of the anthill, there's a whole family of ants praying for dinner, when suddenly, Sniffles' tongue crashes the party.

Though satisfied that he found the ants, he feels something going horribly wrong. It turns out the Ants have hammered Sniffles' tongue down, trapping him. Sniffles tries to pull his tongue out, but it is useless. The Sister Ant can be seen scratching Sniffles' tongue away with a cheese grater, and the Brother Ant squeezes lemon juice on the shaved tongue. Sniffles still tries to yank his tongue out, but to no avail.

S1E4 Crazyantics Ants lemon on tounge — The Ants torturing Sniffles.

As the Mother Ant uses an electric saw to saw away Sniffles' tongue, the Baby Ant runs up Sniffles' tongue, carrying the Brother Ant a container of gasoline, and leaving a trail. As Sniffles pulls on his ears in pain, the Baby Ant arrives to the top and tosses the container of gas into poor Sniffles' mouth, and jumps away. The Mother Ant finishes Sniffles off by using a match to ignite the gas, which rapidly rides up Sniffles' tongue, and the when the flame reaches Sniffles' face, his whole upper body explodes, scattering his body all over the place.

The episode ends with the Baby Ant popping out of the anthill, shouting and cheering in triumph.

Moral

"Buckle up for safety!"

Deaths

After swallowing a can of gasoline, Sniffles' upper body blows up when a flame reaches his stomach.

Goofs

The ants, their table, and their weaponry are not seen when Sniffles is lowering his tongue down the hole or when the fire builds up to Sniffles' head.

The start of that fire is unknown.
When Sniffles' tongue goes through the door, a second door can be seen.
In the Classics Remastered Version, after Sniffles puts his tongue in the hole a bone on the left side magically appears.
The table has been cut with the electric saw, however it appears unbroken in the next scene with it.
When Sniffles explodes, his blood is orange.
