History WebAnimation / BHappy

''B. Happy'' was a four-episode flash-animated series and one of the first in a line of ''Web Premiere Toons'' that were produced by Funny Garbage specifically for Creator/CartoonNetwork's website. The series - which was an early example of UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash animation - follows the title character B. Happy, the Bluebird of Happiness, who is summoned by the Goddess of Happiness, Maureen, to go down to Earth and deal with situations in which something or someone is miserable, and see if they are deserving of happiness. B. Happy - who is much more of a cynical DeadpanSnarker - does so out of reluctance, and each episode, has to go through the agony of laying the Egg of Justice, which determines the outcome of the plight.

* ClickbaitGag: ''BHappy'' is built on this trope with its Click-O-Rama feature, in which viewers determine the outcome of the story (as well as other tidbits throughout) by being presented with multiple choices to click on.
