History Heartwarming / HappyTreeFriends

** There's also the time when, in Happy Trails part two, they invite the surviving tree friends on an inflatable raft. It doesn't end well due to a certain PricklyPorcupine popping it by accident (which earns her a KarmicDeath and even worse in that they were the only ones who don't survive the swim back), but for the two selfish characters that would do anything for a quick buck, it is a nice surprise to see them genuinely charitable.

Yes, believe it or not, Happy Tree Friends out of all shows has heartwarming moments.

* In "A Vicious Cycle", Evil!Flippy possesses a tricycle and, after killing Lumpy, Disco Bear and Pop, lets Cub ride him, not even attempting to attack him (although he might have killed him after the iris closed). This implies that, while Flippy in his flipped-out state might be the evilest character in the show (excluding Lifty & Shifty - and even then, they have moments where they show they're not complete jerk-characters), he WouldntHurtAChild.
** And there's the implication that Evil!Flippy only kills those who he deems can fight back (like sparing an allergy-suffering Flaky and the Mole in ''Party Animal'').

* In ''I Get a Trick Out of You'', Cuddles seems to forgive Lumpy the magician for sawing him in half, laughing at one of his tricks. It seems that the Friends are as kind as they are fragile.

* The ending of "Class Act", where everyone joins hands and sings "O Christmas Tree" together (except Flippy, who was triggered by the carnage in the actual school and was too busy stabbing someone), despite most of them being severely injured in some way. [[spoiler:[[DownerEnding Then the school explodes and kills everyone.]]]]
** A couple blink-and-you-miss-it examples from the aftermath of the school's carnage; Mime is trying to comfort a badly charred extra, Splendid has shown up presumably to try and help everyone and Shifty is trying to help out his [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe badly injured]] twin.

* The original four primary characters of the show: Cuddles, Toothy, Giggles, and Lumpy, singing Christmas Carols together in several shorts. [[TrueCompanions Implying that they do this every year together]]. Made even better how the majority of the shorts [[BreatherEpisode have no death and gore in it]][[note]]''Kringle Karols'' being the only one that actually has blood[[/note]].

** And there's the implication that Evil!Flippy only kills those who he deems can fight back (like sparing Handy in ''By the Seat of Your Pants'' and a bloated, poisoned Flaky in ''Party Animal'').

** "A Handy Nanny". This is the first real Pop and Cub-centric episode where both of them survive. All Cub suffers is a slight bruise from falling off a table and Pop is completely unharmed. The real moment is at the end, combined with a little bit of Squick, when Cub is napping in his crib after Pop comes home from his bowling tournament. After Handy is shredded up by the knocked over fan, the camera irises in on Cub fussing and starting to wake up. You think the bowling trophy is gonna cause his death somehow, but instead Pop just gives Cub his pacifer and he suckles on it peacefully. The squick comes in with Handy's eye being stuck to said pacifier, but still it's the first time Pop and Cub have had a whole episode to themselves and came out alive.

* Several episodes seem to indicate that Cuddles and Toothy are best friends.

* Lumpy comforting a terrified Flaky with a balloon animal in 'From A to Zoo'. Sure, he made it out of Cuddles' eye, but it's still nice that he went out of his way to make her feel better, even picking her up and carrying her while patting her back in a soothing manner. Plus the little smile on Flaky's face as she looks at her balloon (before noticing what it really is) is just adorable.

(Although "And the Kitchen Sink" ''is'' debatable in that aspect too)

* Lumpy's determination to save his pet elephant in ''Junk in the Trunk''. It helps that this is one of the few aversion this series has of ShootTheShaggyDog.

** It's easy to miss, but Flippy's myspace page states that he loves chocolate chip cookies. When we see Flaky baking the cake, there is an enormous plate of chocolate chips among the ingredients. Cue Fridge Awwwww.

* Meta example. After no new episodes since 2014, the "Still Alive" trailer states there's gonna be 5 new episodes in December!
