'''''[httphttps://happytreefriends.atomfilmsmondomedia.com/channel/HappyTreeFriends Happy Tree Friends]''''' (1999-present) is a series of web-based (and later televised) animated shorts. It is one of the most prominent among series in wide circulation that [[Crosses the Line Twice]], since it's designed to horrify and gross out people to [[Refuge in Audacity|such extremes]] that we laugh. The series is about the misadventures of a [[Gang of Critters|gang of]] [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Ridiculously Cute Critters]] who live in a [[Sugar Bowl|bright, happy]], [[Sick Sad World]] bent on [[The Chew Toy|making them suffer]] [[Nightmare Fuel|as much as possible]] before the sweet release of death takes away the pain.
 
After you pick up your jaw from the floor, you'll be laughing your guts out (not literally, though the show ''does'' do that a few times) -- and subsequently lose all faith in humanity and compassion for your fellow man in the process. It doesn't help that the [[Sickeningly Sweet]] characters and setting so perfectly emulate a number of the most [[Periphery Hatedom|annoying children's shows ever]] (they even have ''[[Care Bears]]''-esque hearts for noses!) or that the poor critters are [[Negative Continuity|endlessly resurrected]] between episodes [[The Many Deaths of You|to die in new ways]] that even [[South Park|Kenny]] would wince at.
 
This show has a [[Happy Tree Friends/Characters|Character Sheet]].
