Happy Tree Friends/WMG: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

* {{spoiler|So this series is even MORE like Umineko now!}}

== Happy Tree Friends takes place in an overlap world between ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ~~Ni (Visual Novel)~~|Higurashi]]'' and ''[[~~Death Note (Manga)|~~Death Note]]''. ==

Kira hates furries, so he slaughters them in increasingly more gruesome ways in frustration that they keep coming back when the [[Groundhog Day Loop]] resets.

* [[Jossed]]. The Death Note rules specifically state that the cause of death listed must be physically possible, something that [[Happy Tree Friends]] [[Made of Plasticine|isn't particularly concerned with.]]

* Although "physically possible" could just be more loosely defined here...

== Cub's mother/Pop's wife made a [[Deal ~~With~~ the Devil]]. ==

She sold her soul to make sure her son and husband (as well as the rest of the cast) always come [[Back From the Dead]].

Line 40:

The characters come back to life each time round, and Lumpy takes some care trying to retrieve all of the corpses in Take a Hike, so maybe the characters have been "just knocked unconscious" by all those horrible incidents and Lumpy was trying to get them to the local doctor for rezzing before a [[Total Party Kill]] occurred. Furthermore it would explain the insane risks [[Made of Plasticine]] characters take, and the fact that they can survive apparently fatal injuries; for them, its just lots of lost HP. [[Killer Game Master|No prizes for guessing what the GM is like.]]

* Leading on from that, what would the characters stats be like? Low wisdom stats all around naturally, though not necessarily low intelligence. For example, Sniffles is smart enough to assemble advanced technologies, but the things he does with them... Lumpy though... I guess he would have the highest charisma seeing as he always seems to end up in a leadership role despite his being [[The Ditz]], but he's clearly the dimmest of the bunch.

** Perhaps they're in a hyper-violent stress-relief game of [[Toon (~~Tabletop Game~~)|Toon]]?

The reason they can die horribly in one episode and be back to die horribly in the next episode is due to regeneration. None of them are in possession of a working Tardis.

* But if that were true, they wouldn't look the same in every episode.

Line 49:

Dying horribly is pretty much par for the course for them.

== Happy Tree Friends takes place in the same universe as ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]''. ==

... except the interval of the loops is shorter.

** Why would it loop? [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni|Witches.]] Though which one of the characters is a witch/sorcerer isn't clear.

== The series is a more "ordinary" [[Groundhog Day Loop]] than the ones mentioned above. ==

Line 139:

== The real reason Flaky is afraid of baby chicks... ==

...is because the only part of ''{{spoiler|[[A Bug's Life ~~(Animation)~~|A Bugs Life]]}}'' she caught was the end. She likely fainted and missed the rest after {{spoiler|Hopper bites it. Or rather, gets bitten}}.

== Happy Tree Friends is an example of a typical animated series in the future ==

Think about it: Recently pretty much all animation has been shifting towards becoming more and more gory, with less clever jokes and more characters having violence inflicted on them with genuinely gory effects, instead of cartoony injuries. Examples would be [[~~Spongebob~~ SquarePants]], or The Simpsons. In 20-30 years, all animation will have become identical, removing any attempts at comedy besides horrible injuries inflicted on innocent people. In that time, a show called ''Happy Tree Friends'' was created, and it was the most popular show ever, eclipsing everything else. However, one person built a time machine and brought the show into the past in the hopes of becoming rich and famous. The result is the show Happy Tree Friends existing in our timeline.

* Interestingly enough, this could result in a [[Stable Time Loop]], where the popularity of Happy Tree Friends in this timeline further pushes animation in the gore department, resulting in the "original" version of the show being made in the future.
