Flippy is one of the main protagonists of Happy Tree Friends. He has been nice, but something goes wrong, Flippy's split personality emerges and he becomes a villain. His friends are Flaky, Cuddles, Toothy, Handy, and Giggles.

He was voiced by Aubrey Ankrum and later Kenn Navarro.

Biography[]

He is a retired veteran soldier in the Army. He fought in the Weaponized Animal Regiment (The W.A.R), and has an obsession with making booby traps inspired by the Viet Cong, as well as a flashback of his experience of being held captive by them (as seen in Easy For You to Sleigh). In addition, his attire seems to resemble that of the U.S. Army Special Forces, which played a role during the Vietnam War. As he fought for years, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. According to writer Warren Graff, Flippy is mostly inspired by and based on John Rambo. During the internet and TV series, it is unknown if Flippy has retired from the Army or if they are simply in a time of peace. Flippy rarely appears in the series, most likely due to his repetitive behavior in most of the episodes in which he appears.

Appearance[]

Flippy is a green male bear. He wears dog tags around his neck and a green beret with checkered crest on his head.

Personality[]

Although Flippy can be the most cruel and dangerous character in Happy Tree Friends when "flipped out", in his normal state, he is considered to be one of the most sociable and one of the kinder characters. This is proven in several episodes where he is seen doing social activities with some of the other characters, such as going to the movies and playing hide and seek. In most of the episodes where he appears, he is shown as a friendly individual before he goes insane, or as many people say, "flipping out", hence his name.

Additionally, when he "flips out", he doesn't remember the bloody rampage that follows. However, in Double Whammy Part I, (and possibly Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow, when he resists his evil side for the first time) he finally realizes his problem and goes to Lumpy the psychiatrist for answers. After three attempts to cure him, Lumpy fails. At the end of the episode Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II), Flippy finally cures his post-traumatic stress disorder, but is run over soon after by a chicken truck.

Trivia[]

  • According to his military uniform, he has the rank of Sergeant, but in Operation: Tiger Bomb, he has the rank of Private.
  • Part of Flippy's popularity can be attributed to being a major character in almost all episodes he appears in. The only exceptions are Out of Sight, Out of Mime (DVD only) and Class Act).
  • The only episodes where Flippy can be seen without his beret are Flippin' Burgers, Happy Trails Pt. 2, and Keepin' it Reel.
  • In the W.A.R. Journal episode Operation: Tiger Bomb, when Flippy experiences post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), his name is spelled "Fliqpy" (the q symbolizing a flipped p to add to the concept of him "flipping"). This has become the nickname sometimes given to the evil/flipped-out side of Flippy by fans.
  • In his early design, it is shown that he was going to have a broken arm, a bandage on his cheek, a head bandage, and no hat. He also didn't have dog tags.
  • While Flippy still has his green beret on, he is seen wearing a beige military uniform, including pants, only in Ka-Pow!.
  • Flippy has a belly marking, as seen in one of his posters where he is flipped out with a bomb along with the other tree friends.
  • Even though Flippy doesn't have buckteeth and mitten-like hands in W.A.R. Journal, he still has a set of sharp teeth when he flips out.
  • A majority of the times Flippy flips out, he is seen with sharp teeth. Back in the early episodes, he had four separate crooked teeth.
  • In Remains to be Seen, when Flippy flips out, his eyes turn blue instead of yellow like they normally do. His eyes remain that color until the end of the episode.
  • Counting his evil side, he survives in 12 out of the 23 episodes he appears in.
  • The only TV episodes he appears in are Lesser of Two Evils, Four on the Floor, and all three episodes of Friday the Thirteenth.
  • Despite his high survival rate, he has not survived at least once in the single HTF Break episode.
  • If someone counts Flippy and Fliqpy as the same character, Flippy has appeared in a total of 42 episodes.
  • Flippy is one of the five characters who have not yet got a season 3-4 featuring pop-up. The others are Disco Bear, Lifty, Shifty, and Splendid.
  • In the TV series, he is the only main character to not debut in One Foot in the Grave. Lammy and Mr. Pickels do not count, as the two did not exist in 2006.
