List of Realistic Deaths

Throughout the entirety of Happy Tree Friends, the characters have suffered in very illogical ways. Sometimes, however, the show will have a death that could actually happen in reality and therefore, go against complete cartoon logic.

Note: The scenario of death has to be realistic as well. E.g. A character could really die in a plane engine like Cuddles in the episode Spin Fun Knowin' Ya, but a merry-go-round couldn't make a person fly into one.

Cuddles

1. This Is Your Knife: Has his face bashed with a rock and then has his body cut open and his intestine yanked out by Fliqpy.

   

   Death by choking is surprisingly more common than you think.

2. Class Act: Dies in a school explosion.
3. I Get a Trick Out of You: Lumpy removes his IV, and he dies from blood loss. It should have taken longer for Cuddles to die, but the death alone could still happen.
4. Remains to be Seen: Is hit by a truck.
5. Kringle Feast: Dies in an explosion caused by a gas leak.
6. Kringle Karols: Is impaled in the face by an icicle.
7. Pet Smoochie: In his clean option, he drowns from the screen filling up with water, even though it would've taken longer for him to die in real life, in his feed option, he chokes to death on a piece of a carrot.
8. The Wrong Side of the Tracks: Dies from blood loss after losing his arms, though, in reality, it would take longer for a human to die.
9. And the Kitchen Sink: Is hit by Pop's SUV.
10. Concrete Solution: An ambulance crashes into his car.
11. Take a Hike: Falls onto a sharp stalagmite.
12. Snow Place to Go: Is eaten by an orca (though orcas do not eat humans, they will only eat and attack some animals).
13. Gems the Breaks: Is knocked into a wood chipper.
14. Home Is Where the Hurt Is: Is knocked into a wood slicer.
15. Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow: Is shredded by the tail of a helicopter. While there has never been a death caused by a helicopter tail, it could happen.
16. The Carpal Tunnel of Love: Is impaled through the throat by a wooden pole.
17. New Season Teaser: Is shot in the head several times by Fliqpy.

Giggles

1. Boo Do You Think You Are?: Is cut in half by a pendulum (though her optic nerves should have also been severed).
2. Snow What? That's What!: Is impaled in the eyes and throat by icicles.

   

   One of the least cartoony deaths in the entire show.

3. This Is Your Knife: Is strangled by Cuddles' intestines.
4. Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark: Is stung by a jellyfish and dies from hypothermia when nobody can heal her injury.

20. The Carpal Tunnel of Love: Impaled through the throat by a wooden pole.
21. New Season Teaser: Stabbed in the chest with a knife.

Toothy

1. Hide and Seek: Has his neck snapped by Fliqpy.

   

   A very realistic death in the show.

2. Class Act: Dies in a school explosion.
3. Better Off Bread: Has his head smashed by a small meteor.

11. Idol Curiosity: Drowns in a shipwreck.

15. New Season Teaser: Stabbed through the mouth with a knife by Fliqpy.
16. Breaking Wind: Is hit by Handy's out-of-control truck.

18. Brake The Cycle: Burns to death.
19. Spare Tire: Is vaporized by an explosion. It would not have reduced him to nothing but a skeleton, however.

   If Petunia was aware of skunk instincts, she could've eaten the snake.

11. The Wrong Side of the Tracks: Has her spine forced out of her back when the roller-coaster cart she is in crashes onto the ground.
