Overview


Take Your Seat is the sixth episode in the HTF Break series, it’s the first Happy Tree Friends is dead! short and is one of the original Happy Tree Friends and Friends Bumpers.

Plot[]

In a cinema where various Happy Tree Friends are sitting, Flaky arrives, only to find the leftover seat closed. She struggles to open it, but when she finally does, it is revealed that it is in a terrible state. However, she still sits down and smiles, seeming to not mind the chair's imperfect state. Suddenly, a spring pops out of the seat, piercing Flaky's stomach and taking off part of her intestines, causing the others to panic. Then, the seat closes and crushes Flaky, leaving only her arms on the armrests on the seat.

Afterwards, a sign pops up with the HTF Break logo, only with the word "break" crossed out and replaced with "is dead!."

Fan Controversy[]

Main article: Happy Tree Friends is dead!

After this episode was released, the whole Happy Tree Friends fan base reacted negatively, with some saying that they were unsure whether the show would be cancelled or if only the Breaks would be cancelled. Due to the fact that this video was presumably animated years before it was released and that there is a sign saying "Happy Tree Friends is dead!", the 'joke' received a huge amount of dislikes. The "Happy Tree Friends is dead!" message reappeared on other following HTF Break videos, further fueling the controversy. Many months after the message spawned, Mondo released Cheesy Does It, which at the end read the message "HTF is back, baby!", meaning that it was really just a joke and signalling the end of the year-long hiatus. Another new break, Tunnel Vision, indicated new full length episodes were in the works.

The fact that this and the other breaks (Happy New Year, Moppin Up, Bite Sized, etc.) all take place in movie theaters and cinemas caused some fans to believe the possibility that a second TV season or even a movie of Happy Tree Friends could be in the making, though neither has happened.
