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

Cuddles

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

   

   Death by icicles are surprisingly more common than you think.

2. Class Act: Dies in school explosion.
3. I Get a Trick Out of You: Lumpy removes his IV and he dies from blood loss. It should've 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. 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.
8. And the Kitchen Sink: Is hit by Pop's SUV.
9. Concrete Solution: An ambulance crashes into his car.
10. Home Is Where the Hurt Is: Is knocked into a wood slicer.
11. Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow: Is shredded by the tail of a helicopter. While there has never been a death caused a helicopter tail it could happen.
12. The Carpal Tunnel of Love: Is impaled through the throat by a wooden pole.
13. New Season Teaser: Is shot in the head several times by Fliqpy.

Giggles

   One of the least cartoony deaths in the entire show.

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