Inside the building, Splendid sits a booth signing autographs. While signing a picture for Mime, the top of the pen breaks off. When Splendid flicks the top of the pen away, it pierces Mime, Disco Bear, and Russell through their heads. When Splendid completes his task he looks up to find no one in front of him. He shrugs and looks at his watch. Realizing he's late to his speech, he hurries away to the auditorium.

Splendid passes by Giggles and Petunia, who plays with a toy light saber and spear, on his way to the auditorium. The light on Giggles' light saber goes out, saddening the girls. Splendid thinks for a second and uses his eye lasers to recharge the light saber. Though happy at first, Giggles ends up cutting Petunia in half with the charged weapon. To make matters worse, the hot plastic melts over Giggles' head, setting her on fire.She runs away, screaming.

Splendid sucks the air out of the room to suffocate the fire. Unfortunately, this condenses the size of the convention center and leaves everyone inside without air. Noticing this, Splendid proceeds to exhale the air back into the room whereupon the convention center expands. The bodies of the convention patrons are flung to the windows by Splendid's breath, crushing their bodies in the process. The magnitude of Splendid's breath eventually causes the convention center to collapse, killing all inside except Splendid himself.

Revision as of 21:38, 24 June 2012
Sniffles is about to witness the greatest moment of his life: Meeting Splendid!
"Wrath of Con" is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, the seventh season three episode, and sixty-first overall. It is the first episode to use the current intro and outro credits.
Nerds unite! A trek to the comic book convention to meet their hero leaves them breathless.
Plot
A mask-wearing, backpack-hauling Sniffles departs a bus and stares awstruck at a large convention center where the latest comic book convention is being held. Cuddles and Toothy enter before him, flashing their convention passes to The Mole, who stands watch as the security guard. Sniffles can't find his ticket, however, so The Mole turns him away. This turns out to be a blessing in disguise, as a massacre is about to unfold in the convention center.
Inside the building, Splendid sits a booth signing autographs. While signing a picture for Mime, the top of the pen breaks off. When Splendid flicks the top of the pen away, it pierces Mime, Disco Bear, and Russell through their heads. When Splendid completes his task he looks up to find no one in front of him. He shrugs and looks at his watch. Realizing he's late to his speech, he hurries away to the auditorium.
Splendid passes by Giggles and Petunia, who plays with a toy light saber and spear, on his way to the auditorium. The light on Giggles' light saber goes out, saddening the girls. Splendid thinks for a second and uses his eye lasers to recharge the light saber. Though happy at first, Giggles ends up cutting Petunia in half with the charged weapon. To make matters worse, the hot plastic melts over Giggles' head, setting her on fire, she runs away, screaming.
In the auditorium, Splendid taps the microphone only for it to break. He then tries speaking loudly, the soundwaves of his supervoice breaking glass and puncturing eardrums. Giggles, still on fire and with the top of her head melted, runs into the auditorium and falls down dead, she ends up setting Shifty on fire, who in turn sets everyone else (but Splendid) in the room on fire.
Splendid sucks the air out of the room to suffocate the fire. Unfortunately, this condenses the size of the convention center and leaves everyone inside without air. Noticing this, Splendid proceeds to exhale the air back into the room whereupon the convention center expands. The bodies of the convention patrons are flung to the windows by Splendid's breath, crushing their bodies in the process. The magnitude of Splendid's breath eventually causes the convention center to collapse, killing all inside except Splendid himself.
Sniffles, having finally found his pass, walks up to Splendid, who is currently holding up a portion of the building, and asks for an autograph. Splendid, only happy to oblige, ends up dropping the portion of the building on Sniffles. Realizing the death and destruction he's caused, Splendid quickly leaves the scene.

with walls that looked way better than this
of the 300 attendees, none were mortally wounded
but this black looks way better than theirs did
It's the special edition lacquer varnish finish

Deaths
Mime, Disco Bear and Russell have their heads pierced by the tip of a pen Splendid flicks at them.
Giggles cuts Petunia in half with a charged up light saber.
Giggles' head is set on fire,and melting her.
Lifty, Shifty, Cuddles, Toothy, Nutty, Handy, Cub, and Lumpy are crushed when Splendid performs his super breathing.
Pop, Flaky, The Mole, and (debatably) Cro-Marmot (and anyone else unseen in the convention center such as Flippy or Generic Tree Friends) are crushed by the collapsing building.
Sniffles is crushed when Splendid drops part of the building on him.
Truffles may have died when the building collapsed (debatable, blurb version only).
Goofs
Flaky, Pop and a Generic Tree Friend appear in the crowd when it's shown from behind, but they disappear when viewed from the front. Similarly, Nutty didn't appear in the crowd until it was shown from the front.
Toothy's ears explode from Splendid's voice, but return to normal when the fire spreads.
When Splendid yells too loudly, Lifty and Shifty's eardrums should rupture like everyone else in the room, as both are shown clutching their head instead of holding their ears (unless they were sitting far enough away to avoid major injury).
Lifty & Shifty swap places when the crowd is shown from the back, being shown in the front.
Some of the people's positions change from when the crowd is shown from the back to being shown in the front that Cub moves up a row and further to the his left, Toothy moves to the side and Handy moves to the middle etc.)
Even though The Mole is blind, he can stil somehow sense when someone with or without a ticket is going in.
Splendid's ID card disappears when Mime gave him his comic book.
Lumpy appears in the scene, but he is not shown in the crowd and in the front.
Splendid and Sniffles are both crushed by a piece of the building, but only Sniffles dies when Splendid somehow survives.
Trivia
This episode marks Splendid's record for the highest amount of kills in this episode, counting indirect responsibility(20+ kills: the other 18 main characters if you don't count Flippy, Truffles from the BlurB version, and 1+ numerous Generic Tree Friends).
This is the first Happy Tree Friends episode to be produced in 16:9(aspect ratio) for High Definition.
This is so far, the only Season 3 episode that Splendid and Disco Bear appear. Since Disco Bear made just a cameo appearance, it makes the least used character in the 3rd internet season, just like he was in the first internet season.
This episode has a new intro, featuring different character intros, and new ending credit sequence.
The comic convention is either a parody of the Comic Con centre, or Comiket, a similar event in Japan.
The Acorn Shield Symbol for the SSSSSuper Squad can be seen numerous times on Sniffles' backpack, in comic books, and on Splendid's desk, making this the first Internet episode to reference the Splendid Ka-Pow! series.
Sniffles carries around a blood-stained smiley face badge, a reference to the graphic novel and movie Watchmen.
The mask Cub wears resembles what Lumpy looked liked in the first ever Happy Tree Friends episode Banjo Frenzy.
Another reference to Watchmen is when a character appears several times dressed as Rorschach, one of the main characters.
Cro-Marmot has a group of statues resembling The Cursed Idol on his booth.
Although Splendid causes a lot of deaths, this is the first time he killed Mime, Disco Bear, and Pop. As of this episode, Flippy is the only one of the 20 main characters that Splendid has not been certain to have killed yet.
Giggles dresses up like Princess Leia from Star Wars while Petunia wears a hood similar to that of an Ewok.
Petunia's death is similar to Lifty and Shifty's deaths from And the Kitchen Sink.
This is the only episode where Splendid clearly speaks instead of making different sounds (e.g., hum, gasp, scream, etc.). His voice is also slightly higher than it usually is.
In another reference to Watchmen, Lumpy, has Dr. Manhattan's symbol on his forehead. Additionally, Lumpy doesn't have any pupils, another physical characteristic of Dr. Manhattan.
Flippy is the only main character that doesn't appear in this episode. A character in a scarecrow-like costume was seen in the episode, but it was confirmed to be a generic tree friend. It is unknown if Flippy was anywhere unseen in the convention.
This is the second episode to only have 1 main character not appear, in this case, Flippy. The first time was Asbestos I Can Do when Cro-Marmot didn't appear.
According to the "Revenge Of Con" page, Petunia was originally going to have the role as Giggles, and Giggles was going to be in Petunia's place, but they swapped places in the final cut for unknown reasons.
This the first internet episode to star Splendid since Better Off Bread.
This is the first internet episode to star Sniffles since Suck It Up.
This is one of the few episodes where Lumpy's antlers don't change directions (as he only appeared in one shot). He was only seen getting crushed in the convention center.
Mime's, Disco Bear's and Russell's death is similar to Nutty's, Sniffles' and Mime's death in Aw shucks!
The building at which the convention is hosted is a direct parody of the Hall of Justice from the 1970's Super Friends cartoons.
In the BlurB version, Truffles is seen in front of Flaky when Splendid is about to do his speech.
The early building concept (left) and the design used in the episode (right).
According to the Revenge of Con blog, the convention center building was supposed to be based on the Legion of Doom headquarters.
According to the episode's beat-sheet, the episode originally ends with the explosion wiping Sniffles out (when he enters), causing a huge crater, and leaving only Splendid and his podium, which later crumbles.
