Happy Tree Friends isn't offensive, it's just a stupid cartoon. The reason i hate it is because it is utterly pointless and unfunny. Cute little creatures killing eachother, well isn't that ingenious! Those who find the show funny and entertaining are halfwits.
I remember the first time I ever saw it, back when I was a bit, well, wimpier. I seriously fainted. It's embarrasing to admit that the only time I have ever fainted was because I watched a blue moose cut his leg off with a spoon, but there's no point in me denying it. I can stomach it now, but I don't really find it all that funny.
At least these guys were good with writing Madworld and Sonic Colors.

To be honest it kind of reminds me of the Itchy and Scratchy Show from the Simpsons. Also a bit of Ren and Stimpy.
It doesn't really offend me, but I don't find it particularly entertaining or funny. It's also a bit like that Fairytale Fights game. Kind of funny gory for the first incident you see, but turns into a big meh after that.
Still, that's just me. I have a friend who loves it, the hilarious thing being that she's a total sweetheart, innocent girly girl. It's awesome to watch her cackling away to Happy Tree Friends through her sparkly pink headphones. More power to her! =D

This sums up my thoughts pretty well. Thanks for saving me some keystrokes.Quantum Roberts said:
Appearently you are not familiar with death metal. A genre solely for shocking people who doesn't understand. The lyrics are usually about necrophilia, incest, death, rape etc. One of the greatest things ever. Unlike faggy goths or emo kids, death metal musicians don't mean what they sing or write about. They don't want you to dig up your dead mother and mung her. It is not to be viewed at with serious eyes. Not all death metal dudes realise this, but that's how it is. I guess what I am trying to say is, that Happy Tree Friends is NOT made just to repulse you, but there's actually great humor behind. Perhaps humor you don't get, but i don't blame you.. It's fucked up.Bang25 said:
I 100% agree.
I'm a huge fan of cartoon violence but happy tree friends is just lame.
I just cannot understand how it's funny. It's sick.

I used to love watching Happy Tree Friends with my pals when I was twelve years old. It was the perfect rare treat: Frowned on by adults, full of crazy violent gore, yet not quite enough to make us spew.
Nowadays, I watch an episode every few months for the nostalgia. It's worth a few chuckles.
There's no reason to take HTF seriously.

It's Black comedy. Don't take it so seriously, the fact is - people are intrigued by all that is sick, and frankly some of the stuff in there is disgusting, but so is life. I mean shit like Hostel probably HAS happened - and far worse; this is just a funny little cartoon.
(BTW, never actually seen Hostel - I'm assuming violent torture, etc.?)

I never got into it. I found that the idea of mutilating cute and fluffy creatures was boring. To me, it seemed like something that an immature person (no offence intended to anyone on these forums) would find amusing.
This is exactly what happened to me. Maybe I grew up or something but it just doesn't interest me anymore. I still can watch it but I just get bored with it very quickly, but the violence isn't an issue to me.esperandote said:

In the same bucket as Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

Yeah, it's fucked up, tasteless and overall immature. Seriously, this shit is on par with Funniest Home Videos on the sophistication levels. No one but fucked up teenagers and kids from broken homes should find this entertaining.
It's not funny unless viewed with irony or contrast in mind (the WORST kind of humour), it's disgusting and bordering on psychotic on the creator's part.
Hats off to the sick retard who invented the concept.
Does it disturb me? No, not really, it just sickens me that someone would waste their time and money making something this stupid and tasteless.

I own the boxset.
Its really one big joke about cartoon violence.
And the ways the kill some of the characters? Oh man, that takes some thought and planning.
its not like theyer just getting gored. Theyer getting put through the wringer several times, and oftin ends in some ironic way that gives closure to the entire event.

If you don't mind me asking can you give us a few examples of past jobs and areas you have lived, I'm assuming your in the army?loc978 said:
