This isn't your average Saturday morning cartoon.
The Happy Tree Friends, well they're not characters you grewwith as a kid. They're the Tiny Toons from hell and they're well ontheir way to animated fame.
Happy Tree Friends: Second Serving is the sequel compilation ofthe Internet- based Happy Tree Friends Vol.1 First Blood, createdby Mondo Media and Studio Works entertainment.
The cute and cuddly animals in this adult cartoon names likeToothy, Giggles, Sniffles and Disco Bear may seem innocent, but aminute into the show and you'll think otherwise.
In almost every episode, one or more and possibly all of thecharacters are brutally, but somehow hilariously killed. They'rekilled by accident or sheer mischief.
In one episode, Russell, a sea otter pirate and Lumpy, a goofyblue moose with upside down antlers and crossed eyes, get swallowedby a whale.
While inside, the two feverishly attempt to get out, they tryeverything, even striking a match on the whale's stomach lining,but it's no use.
Finally, Russell is coughed out and sent flying into the air,his landing spot, a wooden ship mast by way of his good eye, whichgets yanked out of his face and strung around a tree branch untilhis brain is pulled through his skull.
The whale happily swallows him again.
In the last episode, the entire gang goes on a field trip thatgoes horribly wrong.
They're singing, playing and hanging out of the school buswindow when the driver hits a bump and the saga begins, or ends intheir case.
The window slams down and snaps off someone's head, somebodychokes off of peanuts and another goes flying to the front of thebus and falls onto the gear shift. Lumpy continues to shift gearsthrough the helpless body, driving the massacred bunch over acliff.
What happened next is a mystery, as the episode was to becontinued.
So if South Park isn't up to your standards or you've nevergotten over the cancellation of the Gummi Bears, then this is theshow for you.
It's a happy go lucky and then go crazy, devilishly sweet seriesthat will no doubt leave you grossed out from all the cartoon bloodand gore.
Happy Tree Friends: Second Serving is available on DVD at HotTopic stores nationwide.
