HTF Episode Description

You are always in trouble when you make a party for Flippy! (Part 1)

Flippy is stupid because he destroyed an awsome party! (Part 2)

Plot

While Flaky makes cake batter in the kitchen, Nutty is drawn to some chocolate chips on the counter. Flaky slaps his hand away, however, and assertively tells him he can't eat the ingredients before the party. She gets a peanut and cracks the shell, dropping the peanuts in a blender. She turns it on, but it stops because half of a peanut shell is stuck in the blender razor. Flaky's reaches for the shell, but, remembering that the blender is still on, she unplugs the cord from the wall.

Seeing a peanut still in the shell, she tosses the peanut into her mouth. All of a sudden, it seems that she is superallergic to peanuts, because Flaky gets a purple rash all over her body, her lips swell up, and her body gets bloated. Nutty rushes over to help, but, spotting the chocolate, he pushes Flaky away and helps himself to a sugary treat. Later, as she leaves the hospital, Mime rides up on his unicycle and offers Flaky some peanuts. Lumpy, the doctor, quickly slaps Mime's peanut bag to the ground, making him get mad and run off to find another snack.

Back at the house, Flaky, Cuddles, Toothy, Nutty, The Mole, Mime, and Sniffles decorate the place for a party. The Mole puts up a game of pin the tail on the donkey, not knowing that it's upside down, Sniffles fills a barrel with water for apple bobbing, Mime blows up balloons, and Nutty pours extra sugar in the punch, thinking it's not sweet enough. As they finish their preparations, Flaky sees someone coming towards the house and tells everyone to be quiet. The Mole turns off the lights shortly before the door opens.

When the lights are turned back on, we see Flippy standing in the doorway while everyone shouts "SURPRISE!" Shocked by this, Flippy is startled, but luckily he doesn't flip out. Everybody sings "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" as Flaky brings Flippy his birthday cake, causing Flippy to shed a tear of happiness. He makes a wish and blows out the candles, while The Mole begins playing pin the tail on the donkey. Flaky hands Flippy a cake knife to cut the cake, leading him to almost flip out. Fortunately, he snaps out of it and begins cutting the cake.

Nutty, now standing next to a pile of sugar covering the punch bowl, consumes a drop of sugar. He gets an intense sugar rush and begins spinning like a tornado. The tornado he forms sucks some peanuts out of Mime's hand and causes them to fly into Flaky's mouth as she's about to eat the first slice of cake. She suffers the same allergic reaction she did earlier, popping the balloons with her quills as she bloats up. Mistaking the popping noises for gunshots, Flippy flips out into murder mode.

First he attacks Toothy by cutting part of his face with the cake cutter. He places the slice of face on Cuddles' plate before tying some balloons around his neck. Flippy lets go of them and Cuddles flies into a ceiling fan where he is shredded to pieces. Next, as the spinning Nutty approaches him, Flippy holds out the cutter and slices Nutty like an apple. Flippy now turns his attention to Mime who is reaching for peanuts in the blender, oblivious to all that has gone on around him. Flippy plugs the blender into the wall and shoves Mime into the blender, where he is ground into a bloody mush.

Sniffles, seeing everything that has happened, hides in the water barrel. Flippy searches for more victims to kill (It's a bit suspicious that he didn't kill Flaky,as he was moving in his horizont!) when his gaze comes upon Sniffles' trunk poking out of the barrel. He puts the lid on the barrel, almost drowning Sniffles who attempts to escape. Flippy begins sticking knives, forks, and other sharp objects through the barrel, narrowly missing Sniffles' body and draining the water. Sniffles breathes a sigh of relief, but Flippy takes the barrel outside and rolls it down a hill. The barrel breaks upon hitting a tree and a dismembered and bloody Sniffles flies out in numerous directions.

The Mole, still unaware of what is going on, walks towards the still bloated Flaky. As he pokes Flaky in the eye with the tack on the tail, she explodes, bringing Flippy out of his flipped out state. He looks over to see The Mole impaled on the wall by many of Flaky's quills. Not seeming to notice (or at least care about) the death and destruction around him, Flippy uses one of Mime's antlers to mix the fluid in the blender's jar, which comprises of Mime's blood and the peanuts from earlier. Upon drinking the fluid, he gets the same allergic reaction Flaky did. As the iris closes to end the episode, his lips are caught in the hole and cut off, which then has blood coming out of the lips as they fall.

3. Flippy carves off Nutty's skin like an apple, with the cake cutter while he's spinning around like Taz.
4. Flippy plugs the blender's cord while Mime's hand is inside it, then Flippy pushes him into the blender grinding him completely.

6. A bloated Flaky is accidentally popped by The Mole,causing her to explode.
7. The Mole is killed when he accidentally pops Flaky in the eye, causing her quills to painfully pin him to the wall in numerous places of his body.

Goofs

1. The refrigerator shifts positions several times as Flaky makes the cake batter.
2. As usual, the candy on Nutty's body changes positions numerous times.
3. Nutty's lazy eye changes places when he pushes Flaky out of the way to eat the chocolate chips.
4. The Mole's mole changes places on his face several times, sometimes during continuous shots.
5. Strangely, this episode does not have a "Featuring" card.
6. One of the bowls of sugar near the punch bowl disappears.
7. The design on Flippy's hat changes places several times, sometimes during continuous shots.
8. The blood on Flippy's face changes positions several times, sometimes during continuous shots.
9. When Toothy's face is cut, his pupils remain on the sliced off portion as small dots. His Pac-man-shaped pupils, however, are also still on the parts of his eyes that weren't sliced off, giving him four pupils altogether.

11. When Nutty is carved while spinning, the apple on his head disappears.

15. The apples used for apple bobbing disappear once they have been dropped into the barrel of water (although it is possible that they just might have been fished out in-between scenes).
16. Flippy only jams seven objects through the barrel, but when he throws the barrel down the hill, there are far more objects sticking out of the barrel.
17. Considering where The Mole was standing before popping Flaky, he should not have been pinned to the wall where the pin the tail on the donkey poster was.
18. When Flippy stops flipping out, his voice is deep like Pop's. When he drinks what was in the blender, his voice is like Toothy's.
19. When Flippy looks around the room for more victims to murder, there weren`t any of Cuddles' sliced up body parts.
20. When Flippy is looking around the room, there should have been blood on the fan.
21. When Flippy is looking around the room, the bodies are not in the same place as they were before.
22. Near the beginning of the episode, when Nutty is about to do his first try at eating the chocolates, he has two lollipops on his face, when he should only have one.
23. It is unknown what a bunch of unshelled peanuts in a blender would make.
24. The blender didn't have a cap on.

Trivia

1. This episode introduces the idea that Flaky is allergic to peanuts, while Flippy is allergic to either peanuts or venison.
2. After consuming the sugar filled punch Nutty spins around the house in a tornado like Taz from Looney Tunes
3. The Mole's death is similar to Disco Bear's death in Rink Hijinks.
4. This episode marks the second time Toothy was the first victim of Flippy. Incidentally, Toothy was Flippy's first victim in both his internet series debut (Hide and Seek) and Flippy's television series debut.
5. This is one of the few episodes where Lumpy appears yet doesn't kill anyone or get killed himself.
6. The direction of Lumpy's antlers do not change in this episode.
7. Nobody dies until 5 minutes into the episode.
8. Every death in this episode was indoors. (Except for Sniffles' death because Flippy roll him in a barrel down hill).
9. Every death in the episode is caused by sharp objects. (Except for Cuddles' death because a fan isn't a sharp object it's a fan, which spins round)
10. Nutty is responsible for every death in this episode, including his own. (He and Flaky caused Flippy to become insane and since Nutty caused Flaky's allergic reaction, he's also the indirectly responsible for Flaky and The Mole's deaths).
11. Happy Birthday wasn't used in this episode since it's a licensed song. If the writers used Happy Birthday, they would have had to pay a fee for it so instead they used For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.
12. When this episode aired along with Ipso Fatso and Don't Yank My Chain on YouTube, the alternate title for the conglomeration of the segments was named "Lesser of Two Evils." Lumpy, Cuddles, and The Mole appear in all three of these episodes. Cuddles dies in all three episodes, while Lumpy and The Mole died twice.
13. When Flippy flips out by the balloons, the sounds he made as he was having his flashback were exactly the same as the noises when he hid in Sneaky's body in the Ka-Pow! W.A.R. Journal episode Operation: Tiger Bomb.
14. Flippy is the last main character to make his TV series debut.
15. A running gag in this episode is that The Mole plays Pin the Tail on the Donkey while wearing a blindfold.
16. This is the first TV episode where a female takes a starring role.
17. When Flaky pops the balloons because of her allergy, Flippy's background changes to a jungle theme. This might be because Flippy served in the Vietnam War or a flashback of what happened in W.A.R. Journal.
18. This one of the episodes where Flippy co-star with Flaky.
19. Since Flippy didn't kill Flaky, despite seeing him/her when looking around the room, this led some fans to thinking Flippy had a crush on Flaky. This was later confirmed as fanon.
20. Nutty's death is similar to Mime's death in Random Acts of Silence
