Summary: needs a rating.
Review: This DVD has a lot of graphic violence. The people who market this DVD did not put a rating on it. It should have an R rating or an ( X or NC-17 rating) so that only people over 17 can watch it. Please do not let children under 17 see this DVD.

Summary: Lighten UP
Review: After reading many of these reviews I find that some people just don't know how to laugh. THESE ARE CARTOONS! It is not real and they always come back to life for the next eposide. Sure, a cartoon skunk getting his head fried off at the local burger joint by a chipmunk that is having a viet nam flashback is a bit grotesque, but thats why its funny. That is why there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage saying "not for small children or big babies" or something like that. This truely is a funny cartoon and good for days when you just want to laugh right now instead of watching an entire hour and a half video.

Summary: Psychotic Fun..I laughed out loud.
Review: At first you see little baby animals playing and then BAM! My first reaction was shock, then I burst out laughing! It reminds me of the old "Mr. Bill Show" - a kiddie cartoon that suddenly turns ugly. Its sick and twisted but you will not be able to stop yourself from laughing.

Summary: Messy
Review: Bad comedy timeing. By the time you get a laugh it's over.
Each episode is only a few minuts long and has a the same openig and ending which takes up most of the video.
THIS IS NOT SOUTH PARK WITH ANIMALS!! THIS ISN"T WORTHY
OF TOUCHING MR HANKY'S POO TRAIL!!

Summary: Very Happy Tree Friends
Review: Don't let the charming theme tune fool you. These cartoons are sick! They star the most cutest and cuddly little animals you can imagine but they end up getting killed, tortured and maimed in the most depraved yet ingenius ways. You'll actually be gritting your teeth and looking away when death comes calling. But how can anyone be so mean to animals so cute? Animated or not these guys (especially the Vietnam Vet dude) would make great cuddly toys. Tho one might be tempted to press their faces into a lawnmower after watching this DVD too much.The DVD is presented in full frame and has a loud, gut wrenching soundtrack that only adds to the sound of tearing flesh (or fur), breaking bones and mutilations. Extras include your own DVD Happy Tree Friend Tamagochi plus commentaries from the creators. Shame it only lasts for half an hour.

Summary: Beware bad compression. In fact, just visit the website.
Review: Happy Tree Friends are like Itchy and Scratchy for the even-shorter attention span. With their pastel colors, big round outlines, and situations that would be painfully predictable if they had any story to them at all, the best thing about this series is the infectious theme music. Unfortunately, said theme is missing completely from this DVD. For the full experience, visit the Happy Tree Friends' website. This is how these cartoons should be viewed, anyway. At least the Flash will load, there; the copy of the DVD that we viewed was so poorly compressed as to be unwatchable, plus it crashed every computer and component dvd player we played it in.

Summary: woodland carnage
Review: Happy Tree Friends is a gruesome, bloody, and wildly funny web comic which I am happy has made it to DVD. Follows the misadventures of a variety of characters who inevitable wind up getting murdered, or killed in slow, aggonizing and torturous ways. Laughed till I had tears in my eyes! If you don't like "Itchy and Scratchy" you probably won't like this.
As for a fellow reviewer: 'Animation Historian'
You need to relax and chill out.
Saying things like: "If watching the likes of "Celebrity Deathmatch", reading "Squeak The Mouse", getting off on seeing roadkill, and seeing intense pain in the face of someone else appeals to you, then you're the type to buy and enjoy this DVD... and get some therapy while you're at it."
I mean the way to alienate a large amount of people at one time. Seriously, bravo. I'm sure you're the kind of person who thinks people who watch "That 70's Show" are potheads, and people who listen to Marlyn Manson and Rob Zombie are devil worshippers. You don't like the show, fine. Then say you don't, but don't include in your review that if anyone else find this DVD funny, they MUST be either sick, or deranged or both.
Bad form man.

Summary: Concept that is funny for one second drilled into the ground
Review: I first saw this series advertised in Viz, the wickedly funny English humor magazine, so I thought it might be worth checking out. It's not. You can do so yourself on the happy tree friends web site.
The "humor" such as there is, seems to be based on the simple notion of cute little cartoon characters having horrible, horrible things done to them. That's it. Once you laugh at the concept the first time, it gets really repetetive and there is no depth beyond that concept.
Think "Itchy and Scratchy" but without any pop culture references or connection to a larger world (the Simpsons), and about 10-20 times longer.
Or, to be even more helpful, here is a synopsis of one episode. Cute woodland creatures are watching cute animal do a magic show. One of them volunteers to be sawn hin half. Guess what?! He really is. On ambulance ride, other cute animal falls out, pulling mutilated animal's lower torso out on gurney, with inards stringing all over the place. Ha ha... In hospital, cute animal is in intensive care, and sewn back together. Magic show animal feels bad, tries to entertain him by doing more magic. Does trick that involves pouring fluid into newspaper without getting it wet. Only fluid available is transfusion IV to maimed animal. Uses all the blood and maimed animal dies. The end. What, not laughing?
The humor is simplistic that it should only appeal to children, yet it should definitely NOT be shown to them. A paradox!

Summary: Buy or Die
Review: I love Happy Tree Friends. Don't pay attention to some of the negative reviews. Love them or hate them. If Itchy and Scratchy from the Simpsons crack you up, then buy these DVDs. Vol 2 has a great inside look at the creators of the HTFs. lol all of the way.

Summary: shocking
Review: i love these cartoons because they are just so wrong. so so wrong. the brutal killing of cute cuddly creatures are enough to keep a little kid and a grown adult entertained. the second and third dvds are better because they left out the openning theme song which becomes very annoying by the end of the first dvd. the second dvd has a decent amount of scenes but the third has longer scenes by about a half a minute extra a piece. overall the shock value is worth buying at least one of these dvds so you can scare off some witless relatives you want to be rid of or to please your drunk friends.
