Happy Tree Friends: YouTube Live Episode is a special episode shown on YouTube Live 2008-2009.
Plot
Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, Lumpy, Nutty, Flippy, Handy, Lifty and Shifty are sitting inside a crane game, pretending to be prizes. The claw above picks up a laughing Cuddles by the head, but he slips off. The claw then grabs Cuddles again, but this time by the stomach. As Cuddles begins laughing happily at being picked up, the claw suddenly begins banging him against the sides of the machine. Everybody looks up in shock as Cuddles struggles to free himself. When the claw bangs against the front of the machine a few more times, Cuddles finally dies. Then the eight remaining characters begin screaming in fear and attempt to escape from the machine, while Flippy begins to panic and look like he's about to flip out.
