Tunnel of love
married couple
I want a divorce
A loving couple going through a tunnel of love ride.- Bait-and-Switch: Howard does this to his wife, making her think they're going to lock lips. What she puckers up with is not what she had in mind.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Howard, the husband seems like a loving and nostalgic man in a happy relationship. Until he tricks his wife into kissing his ass, that is.
- Complexity Addiction: Howard's plan in getting his wife to accept a divorce is rather unusual and unnecessary, to say the least.
- Jerkass: Howard. Emphasis on the ass part.
- Manchild: Howard. Tricking his wife into kissing his ass is not how most adults behave.
- Mood Whiplash: The short goes from a romantic trip down memory lane to a cruel and immature prank.
- Nice Guy: The wife seems like a loving and supportive woman. Her anger at the end is completely justified, as Howard tricked her into kissing his ass.
Rascals
Fat people
some caption text
Two fat people fighting over some fatty food.- Fat Bastard: A subdued and comedic example. They're both selfish gluttons who resort to intimidation to try and get their hands on the cholesterolls in the store.
- Gonk: They both are morbidly obese, poorly groomed and dressed. They're not the nicest people either.
- It's All About Me: They instantly start fighting over the food, believing themself to be more deserving of it.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The glasses wearing fattie promptly fucks off when the other guy turns into a robot using his mobility scooter.
- Shout-Out: The mobility scooter transforming into a battle robot is a pretty blatant parody of transformers.
Sinking ship
"Baby"
Totally an infant
A guy pretending to be a baby to get off a sinking ship.- Fat Bastard: He's very overweight, and a selfish liar.
- It's All About Me: He disguises himself as a baby to get on the ship before women and children, who end up sinking on the ship because of his selfishness.
- Karma Houdini: He gets away with disguising himself as a baby to get on the lifeboat before the women and children can.
- Noodle Incident: Thankfully, it's never explained how he got his baby outfit.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: His baby outfit is less than convincing.
- Refuge in Audacity: Somehow his scheme to get on the lifeboat works, despite his plan being utterly idiotic.
Surgery
Doctor and Ms. Henry
You look perfect
A surgeon helping repair people's faces.- Bait-and-Switch: When the doctor shows Ms. Henry a reflection of her face, it looks like it's just showing his own face. It's hers, she's merely had her face changed to look just like his, moustache included.
- Narcissist: The doctor is a benign example. He mentions that Ms. Henry looks perfect when her face is a carbon copy of his. He's either being nice or just that vain.
- Refuge in Audacity: The female Ms. Henry is given a moustache just like the doctor's. Fortunately, she loves how it looks.
- The Unreveal: Did Ms. Henry look like the doctor before her surgery? This remains a mystery for the ages by the episode's end.
Pregnancy
Ms. Mc Cloud
The pregnant woman
A pregnant woman. Or is she?- Cluster F-Bomb: She curses like a sailor when giving birth. The doctor is not amused.
- Knight of Cerebus: Her pregnancy creates one of the creepiest moments in the entire series. It's played completely seriously, a rarity for the franchise.
- The Ending Changes Everything: She's not having a phantom pregnancy. She is the phantom. The baby is real, though.
- Mind Screw: How the hell she was able to have a baby if she didn't exist is a mystery for the ages.
- Walking Spoiler: Two. She is pregnant, but she doesn't exist.
Interrogation
Good cop
The good cop
The "good" cop.- Good Cop/Bad Cop: The good cop. Though considering just how rotten the other cop is, he could have tried to be the bad cop and still come out as the good one.
- Major Injury Underreaction: He's rather nonchalant about having his torso turned into swiss cheese.
- Nice Guy: While it's part of his persona, he plays this trope up, even after being shot several times.
Bad cop/Brown
The bad cop
The bad cop.- Anti-Hero: Only because shooting his partner several times is considered "heroic" in this short. Regardless, it's an insanely excessive action to have taken, even if it did get the vandal to confess.
- Artistic License – Law: His actions would not only get him fired, they'd also land him in jail for a very long time.
- Ax-Crazy: He riddles his partner with bullets after getting too into character.
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: The bad cop. He really overdoes it.
- Karma Houdini: It's unlikely he ever got in trouble for discharging a firearm in his partner's abdomen. In fact, it's treated as a hilarious success.
- Manly Facial Hair: His handlebar moustache is pretty manly.
- Reckless Gun Usage: He unloads his gun several times on his own partner. Twice. And it's treated as completely normal.
Vandal
some caption text
A vandal. The police are trying to get a confession from him.- Anti-Villain: He's a petty vandal, nothing more.
- Beard of Evil: If you consider vandalism an indication of evil. He's got a goatee and is a vandal.
- Break the Haughty: He's rather smug at the start. This ends quickly after the cops "interrogate" him.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Not only is he traumatized by the ordeal he goes through, it's implied he's going to be subjected to Prison Rape in the near future.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He may be a vandal with no regard for private property, but he's appauled by the bad cop shooting another police officer.
- Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life: He's traumatised by the police by the end of the short.
- Villainous Breakdown: He has one during the good cop/bad cop routine, though for a very unexpected reason.
Divorce
Brad and Brad's ex wife
Mom and dad
Two parents explaining to their kids that they're getting divorced.- Amicable Exes: What Brad's ex wife hopes they will be. He ruins that quickly.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Brad, though he's a downplayed example of this due to being an otherwise decent parent. He tricks his own kids into turning on his ex wife out of spite for getting divorced.
- Good Parents: While Brad is a bit of a Manipulative Bastard, both of them seem to love their kids a lot, and care about staying on their good graces.
- Hope Spot: A less severe example than most. The mother thinks Brad is going to act mature and responsible, only for him to manipulate the kids and trick her when her guard is down.
- Jerkass to One: Brad to his ex wife. Which is likely why they divorced.
- Manchild: Brad. No wonder he's getting divorced.
- Manipulative Bastard: Brad. He pretends with his soon to be ex wife that he'll break the news to the kids, then promises them a salary raise so his STBEW has to break the news instead, making her look like the bad guy.
- No Name Given: Brad's STBEW is referred to as mom, even by Brad.
- Only Sane Man: Brad's wife is not a Manipulative Bastard and genuinely wants their divorce to be peaceful and as easy for the kids as possible.
- You Monster!: Brad says this to his STBEW. It's not justified in this moment in the slightest.
The painting
Painter
The painter
A painter- All Men Are Perverts: If the painter is any representation of men in the C&H world, women should be very afraid.
- Blatant Lies: Liberties have clearly been taken when the painter shows the first portrait of himself.
- Casanova Wannabe: He tries this with the model. She's put off by his pitiful courtship attempt.
- Epic Fail: He does not manage to woo the model, to put it mildly.
- Narcissist: His paintings depict him as a muscular and huge man with the woman fawning over him. They're obviously not focusing on her as their main subject, instead dedicated to the painter's ego.
Art model
The model
A model.- Barbie Doll Anatomy: Well, for the bottom half anyway. She apparently has no vagina.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's naked and only covered by a thin Scenery Censor. The painter seems to have an obvious crush on her.
- Scenery Censor: She has a boob covering feather.
Big sausage pizza
Rod
Rod
The owner of Rod's thick pizza.- Carpet of Virility: He has one, it goes with his sleazy look.
- Double Entendre: Exclusively how Rod talks.
- Epic Fail: Instead of visiting a horny woman, he inadvertedly scars a bunch of kids for life.
- Fan Disservice: His ass can be seen as he's accidentally flashing a kid's birthday party.
- Harmful to Minors: Rod's big sausage causes a lot of trauma to innocent eyes.
- Oh, Crap!: He has this after flashing a bunch of kids by mistake.
Horny woman
The horny woman
A woman who wants some "pizza."- Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: She's disappointed when she gets a normal pizza by mistake, expecting some sex.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: She looks like she's about to have an orgasm at certain points of the short.
- Double Entendre: She speaks in this, as does Rod. Despite this, it's clear what she's talking about.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's attractive and not wearing much, so this is pretty much a given.
Stranded
Castaway
Send help
A man stranded on a desert island- Downer Ending: His one chance to be rescued is thwarted by an idiotic/selfish man with an interest in painting model ships.
- Epic Fail: His map is nonsensical, and if it was taken seriously, it'd be by a stroke of luck that he was found. Sadly, he doesn't even have anyone attempt to save him.
- Uncertain Doom: Since his attempt to get help failed, it's likely he'll die on the island, though his fate is unconfirmed.
Boat enthusiast
some caption text
A man who seems to like boats.- Ambiguously Evil: Is he a selfish asshole who ignores a plea for help to paint a model ship or just a total idiot? We'll never know for sure.
- Bait-and-Switch: It looks like he's going to send a ship to rescue the castaway. He's actually just painting one and doesn't seem aware of the man's existance.
- The Ditz: If he's not malevolent, he's an idiot for not noticing that there was a message on the paper he blew his nose on.
- It's All About Me: If he's malevolent in his actions, he took a desperate man's calls for help and used the bottle for his model ship and the note to blow his nose in.
Seagull
Park bench man
Oh my fucking sandwich!
A man enjoying the park.- Artistic License – Biology: Ignoring the Skewed Priorities, he wouldn't be able to talk when decapitated.
- Hope Spot: It looks like the strange seagull is just making him a sandwich. Then he gets decapitated by it.
- Off with His Head!: Courtesy of an enigmatic yet murderous seagull.
- Precision F-Strike: "Oh, my fucking sandwich." Note this is after he's been decapitated.
- Skewed Priorities: After being decapitated by the seagull, he's more upset about not getting to finish his sandwich.
Seagull
Sandwich seagull
A nice seagull. Or is it?- Faux Affably Evil: It makes a sandwich for it's victim before decapitating him.
- Feathered Fiend: It's an evil sandwich-making and head taking seagull.
- Killer Rabbit: It's a simple seagull capable of decapitating a man in a second.
- Noodle Incident: How it got the sandwich ingrediants is never known, and perhaps that's for the better.
- Super-Strength: It can carry a severed head while flying.
Book Report
Man, newspaper, and spider
Not pictured: the spider, who crawled into the man's mouth
- Bait-and-Switch: It seems like the spider Was Once a Man. The spider is actually (probably) just a normal spider, the real example is the newspaper.
- Mood Whiplash: The newspaper's raspy revelation? Creepy. The spider randomly crawling into the man's mouth afterwards? Funny.
- Noodle Incident: It's not known how the man became a newspaper.
- Red Herring: The spider contributes nothing to the plot apart from crawling into the man's shocked mouth.
- Was Once a Man: The newspaper. He can even talk.
It's a sad christmas, Larry
Mr. S
Mr S.
A man sad Larry is visiting for christmas- Berserk Button: It's not known what Larry responded to to press it, but refusing a certain question pushed him over the edge, causing him to turn on Larry and kick food in his face.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He seems like a friendly guy, but turns on Larry and coldly evicts him from his house by the end of the episode, showing that deep down, he's a jerk like most of the other characters.
- Call-Back: He's the second guy to kick food in Sad Larry's sad face.
- Get Out!: He says this after Larry accidentally pushes his Berserk Button.
- Good Parents: He seems loving and caring to his kids and provides them with good presents. Sadly, this kindness doesn't extend to Larry past a certain point.
- Innocently Insensitive: He gifts Larry some car decorations not knowing Larry's car was totalled.
- Lack of Empathy: He doesn't seem to have much understanding for what Larry is going through, evicting him from his house because of a single slip up.
- The Pollyanna: He's this for most of the episode, coming across as insensitive when paired with the obviously grieving Larry.
Mrs. S
Mrs. S
A woman Sad larry is visiting for christmas- Flat Character: The most character she gets is being sympathetic to Larry while offering him cookies.
- Good Parents: She seems to love her kids, even if she's not shown being as hands on as her husband is during the short.
- Nice Guy: Unlike her husband, she's sweet and supportive throughout the episode.
Grandpa
some caption text
An old man who Larry visits- Big Eater: He really wants the damn turkey.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: The only hair on his head. Due to his age, they're big and bushy.
- Grumpy Old Man: He comes across as this, mostly to Larry. He snaps at his own family several times throughout the short.
- Jerkass: He's rude to Larry from the get go.
- Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: He is blunt and cold, which is likely put up with due to his advanced age.
Dairy Aisle
Couple
Reach in the back
A couple buying milk.- Cruel and Unusual Death: The man is likely going to be devoured by the milk.
- Space Whale Aesop: Don't reach in the back for milk, otherwise you'll be pulled into another world and eaten by giant milk cartons.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The woman suggests to the man to reach in the back for the freshest milk. He does, and is captured by the giant milk shoppers.
Milk couple
????
Milk.- Ambiguously Evil: Whether humans are their version of edible livestock or whether they're evil creatures who like eating people is never explained. It's also unknown if they know that the humans in C&H have sentience.
- Attack of the Killer Whatever: They're milk who eat people. Something that is most uncommon in real life.
- Flat Character: Their personality starts and ends at milk.
- It Makes Sense in Context: Their appearance is absurd even for cyanide and happiness standards, and there's nothing foreshadowing their arrival. However, with this being Cyanide and happiness, it somehow fits into the story and is treated completely seriously.
Tell My wife
Shot soldier
Tell my wife...
A soldier who got shot.- Awful Wedded Life: He and his wife have been at odds ever since she shot him.
- If I Do Not Return: He says this to his friend. It's because his wife shot him.
- Insistent Terminology: He's not just shot, he's lungshot. He repeats that point several times.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He has every reason to be angry with his wife, since she shot him.
- Skewed Priorities: He forgets his lungshot state and the sudden death of his friend to argue with his wife.
Not shot soldier
He wasn't shot
A soldier who wasn't shot.- The Comically Serious: He treats the situation like a dramatic war scene and not a domestic dispute.
- Driven to Suicide: He does this rather than be the messenger for the bickering couple.
- Nice Guy: He stays by his friend's side and tries to help him after the friend got shot.
Wife
The Hidden Villain of the story
The woman who shot her husband- Awful Wedded Life: She and her husband have been at odds ever since she shot him.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Whatever her husband did to get shot, it was almost certainly not a justified action.
- Even Evil Has Standards: She looks horrified after the not shot soldier kills himself in front of her.
- Hate Sink: She shot her own husband for an incredibly petty reason, and still has the nerve to nag to him.
- Hidden Villain: For ten seconds. She's the one who shot her husband.
- Lack of Empathy: She wants her dying husband to clean the garage right after she shot him in the lung.
- Skewed Priorities: One thing she shares with her husband is seeing their domestic dispute as more important than the fact someone just killed himself in front of them.
