* ScrewedByTheNetwork: By 2005, the show was at its peak, and Creator/{{G4TV}}, which at this point was already broadcasting the internet shorts (some of which had just been seen on ''Series/AttackOfTheShow''), picked up a TV adaptation of the show, which premiered in 2006. In the months leading up to the TV series' premiere, G4 and the Happy Tree Friends website both comfortably gave it plenty of advertising, with a small number of the TV series' episodes even being given early previews that were sent to subscribers of the show's now-defunct email fan club. Unfortunately, G4 placed first-run episode broadcasts at the [[FridayNightDeathSlot highly inconvenient]] time slot of midnight Eastern Time on Monday nights[[note]]not even the weekend reruns were able to avoid not being placed in overnight timeslots, with the exception of an early evening timeslot on Sundays[[/note]] with extremely poor promotion translating into low ratings, which not only ensured the TV series' cancellation after 13 episodes and the scrapping of a planned second TV season, but also indirectly caused [[DorkAge the show's popularity to crash]], although the show itself luckily [[NotQuiteDead avoided the fate of its characters]]. Making matters worse, the TV series was removed entirely from G4's schedule as soon as the final episode aired, as if it never existed.

** Sometimes, Fliqpy is given the name "Evil Flippy". Interestingly enough, [[https://mondomedia.com/news/view/191/Thats_what_we_meme some blogs for the show]] have [[AscendedFanon used that name on occasion]]. On the flipside, Flippy's normal self is sometimes called "Good Flippy". Interestingly, the name Fliqpy itself could also be considered one. While it does come from [[Recap/HTFOperationTigerBomb a canon source]], the fans use it far more extensively to refer to him than the actual crew, who instead tend to use the aforementioned "Evil Flippy" or variations thereof.

* CreatorBacklash: The crew, apparently, did not like "Gems the Breaks", for reasons unspecified[[note]]Though the creators did specify the episode's runtime was running short, so they tacked on the chase sequence with the laser at the end to fill time[[/note]]. And, on an ask account on Reddit, Warran Graff was displeased on how "Home Is Where The Hurt Is" turned out.

*** In "Dunce Upon a Time", when Giggles is about the knock down the bottles with the imprisoned Tree Friends, they are using their older design.

* BannedEpisode: While part 1 for "Wishy Washy" is still available on Website/YouTube, part 2 was removed for violating its terms of service. It's speculated that [[spoiler:Lumpy's death and hidious corpse]] and/or [[spoiler:Petunia's death, especially since it's a [[DrivenToSuicide suicide attempt]]]] was the reason for the video's removal. Even the episode that featured it, "Four on the Floor", was removed from [=YouTube=] for the same reason. The entirety of "Wishy Washy" can still be watched on Mondo Media's website and "Four on the Floor" is available on Amazon Prime Video.
