* AssholeVictim: In "Gems the Breaks", he is killed by Kryptonut, after murdering Kryptonut. Considering the Mole.fact that, in this episode, he murdered The Mole, in general has a LackOfEmpathy for the characters he killed, and refuses to learn from his mistakes, he ''definitely'' had it coming.

* ButtMonkey: A recurring joke is that his lack of hands prevent him from doing certain things, followed by his signature growl of frustration when realizing that said things need hands to be done. There's also the fact that he has one of the lowest survival rates in the series. Take, for example, "Change in Heart" where he is the only character that dies in the episode.

* CosmicPlaything: While everyone has their moments, Handy is ''especially'' put into situations beyond his control. Take "Don't Yank My Chain" as an example, where Handy's logical attempt to break the chain he was strapped to results in his death. His permanent status as an amputee doesn't help, and even beyond the gruesome events, Handy is rarely given a happy ending to begin with. Even Lifty and Shifty are [[ThrowTheDogABone thrown more bones]]. Even if the given situation doesn't involve hands, it's likely to result at Handy's expense. Case in point, Splendid unintentionally hurling a colossal snowball onto Handy's driveway right after he has finished cleaning it, to name one example.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: While he's one of the show's defining ButtMonkey, the first season not only has him survive 3/4 episodes he was featured in, which is 75%, but he also starred in two of these episodes and didn't die.

Added DiffLines:

* LeanAndMean: During his more antagonistic roles, he qualifies as this.


Added DiffLines:

* NoodlePeople: Compared to the chibi-esque body shape the other characters have, Lumpy is tall, thin and lanky (comparable to a sausage in shape).


Added DiffLines:

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: She has dark blue fur, in contrast to the black fur of actual skunks. Considering this is a world of AmazingTechnicolorWildlife, it's not a big deal.

** In "Easy For You to Sleigh", when his smoke detector went off, he didn't even know how to turn if off properly. So, what does he do? He yanks it out of the ceiling and removes the batteries. Unsurprisingly, he ends up passing out and dying of smoke inhalation later in the episode.
