Clean-up


Petunia is pushing her baby carriage containing her teddy bear when she notices something shiny from the nearby bushes. Turns out it is the cursed idol. Petunia replaces her doll with the idol, not knowing that its presence causes two birds to fall to the ground, dead. She first passes by Pop, who is reading his newspaper, and Cub, who is playing with the fire hydrant. The idol's presence causes the hydrant to blast Cub into the wall, where he ends up as nothing more than red paste and few organs that are left (plus his hat). Next, Petunia passes by Disco Bear who is dancing to some disco music playing through his headphones. Suddenly, the music's volume raises by itself, to far more than deafening levels, causing Disco Bear's head to explode. Petunia finally arrives at her home, where she is about to sleep. Not long after turning off her lamp, a noise is heard, causing her to turn it back on. She is horrified to see her heart popping out from her body on her bed's spring. She tries pushing it back in, but more of her organs pop out stuck on springs. The poor skunk dies, then the lamp turns off.

--> ''"All that glitters is not gold!"''

Airdate: October 3, 2004

"Hello Dolly" is the twenty first episode of the second (internet) season of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

Petunia is pushing her baby carriage containing her teddy bear when she notices something shiny from the nearby bushes. Turns out it is the cursed idol. Petunia replaces her doll with the idol, not knowing that its presence causes two birds to fall to the ground, dead. She first passes by Pop, who is reading his newspaper, and Cub, who is playing with the fire hydrant. The idol's presence causes the hydrant to blast Cub into the wall, where he ends up as nothing more than red paste and few organs that are left (plus his hat). Next, Petunia passes by Disco Bear who is dancing to some disco music playing through his headphones. Suddenly, the music's volume raises by itself, to far more than deafening levels, causing Disco Bear's head to explode. Petunia finally arrives at her home, where she is about to sleep. Not long after turning off her lamp, a noise is heard, causing her to turn it back on. She is horrified to see her heart popping out from her body on her bed's spring. She tries pushing it back in, but more of her organs pop out stuck on springs. The poor skunk dies, then the lamp turns off.
