Flippy the green bear is one of the most recognizable characters in the Happy Tree Friends
franchise he is well known for being friendly and calm but if something reminds him of war
he changes to his evil side known as Fiqpy in this video I will be talking about every time
Flippy and his evil side have changed since the beginning
before season 1 there's quite a few things that i need to talk about
it is believed by the creators that this is how Flippy started and was drawn by Aubrey Ankrum who
is also the main voice actor of Flippy's evil side as we can see he seems to be a squirrel
the idea of him changing with a different design of his face was present since the beginning also
his friendly side reminds me a lot of Sandy from SpongeBob Squarepants next we have a character who
is a bear like Flippy that we know today and again he would turn the evil and his face would change
his design additionally when he turns to evil he kind of looks a bit more like a rat than a bear
some of you may have also noticed that this scene looked familiar but that's because
this scene made it into "Banjo Frenzy" but the bear was replaced with a dinosaur with a banjo
this dinosaur looks and sounds like Lumpy but his personality is more like Flippy
here we have what many would recognize as Flippy notice that in both designs he was
going to be injured due to him having an eye patch who plastered on one cheek
what seems to be bandages on both of their heads and most noticeably both have broken
arms apart from the art style looking like Happy Tree Friends the dog tag on the left and the
jacket with the sergeant patch on the right was used in the design of Flippy that we know today
now we can enter season 1. Flippy first appears in "Hide And Seek" and in the intro
we can see him with his iconic shades of green his camo jacket dog tags and his beret
in the episode Flippy hears a woodpecker causing him to think of war then his irises become visible and
are a shade of green and yellow and he turns to his evil side with angry eyes but when he turns
around his irises are no longer visible making him look more like normal friendly Flippy and in
one scene he can be seen in different shades of red to allow him to blend into the environment
in the episode called "This Is Your Knife" normal Flippy does not change
but evil Flippy does I don't normally talk about the mouth of the counters but the design for
evil Flippy I think is necessary to talk about previously evil Flippy had two mouths that was
used from other characters to show that he is angry but it seems like the creators wanted him to
look more different to his normal friendly self and to make him look more intimidating and evil
so they decided to often make his teeth change like giving him teeth like blades from hand saws
and also two crooked teeth two crooked teeth was also given to Giggles
when she was in shock but it probably happened due to time restraints to also make evil Flippy
look more different instead of his irises only becoming visible during his flashback
he now has them for the rest of the episode and he is often seen with shadows under his eyes too
additionally in the "Volume 1 First Blood" DVD Flippy is missing his dog tags on his collect them all
card in "Happy Trail Part 2" which is part of season 2 Flippy can be seen with a coconut helmet towards
the end in "Flippin' Burgers" evil Flippy only had one noticeable change and was given one
extra crooked tooth in "Out Of Sight Out Of Mime" evil Flippy again only really had one major
change and that is him now having six crooked teeth we now skip to "Remains To Be Seen" evil
Flippy's pupils and irises changes color to a grayish-blue he then dies and becomes a zombie and
has yellow triangular teeth he also rips Handy in half and uses his lower body to allow him to walk
and additionally in the "Second Servings" DVD a vitamin tablet is shaped like his head
we now enter the TV series and starting with "Party Animal"
Flippy has a new updated design and at the end he has swollen lips
but evil Flippy had his greenish-yellow eyes back and he was given an updated look for his teeth that
are shaped like blades from handsaws and he now can also be seen with white triangular teeth
in "Easy For You To Sleigh" Flippy has rope tied around him
and evil Flippy is wearing Shifty's skin tail and hat in "Double Whammy Part 1" Flippy
has something that looks a bit like a waist apron and then he has a foam pointing hand
evil Flippy can also be seen with the waist apron and later on just before Lumpy throws water on him
he has irises that are different shade of green and are not outlined in black
we now leave the TV series and go to "Operation Tiger Bomb" Flippy is a private
and has a different art style and of course evil Flippy is also seen in this new style
but he can also be seen with triangular and square shaped teeth at the same time
in "Without A Hitch" which is part of season 3 Flippy is seen in black and white Flaky
imagines evil Flippy which means that we can see him in black and white too
with the exception of his irises being his normal shade of green in the 2012 "New Season Teaser" both
Flippy and evil Flippy are in the style that is inspired by Mondo's as a show known as "Dick Figures"
in "A Vicious Cycle" which is part of season 4 evil Flippy dies and possesses a tricycle I'm
not completely sure if I should make this count but I thought that I should say about it anyways
and in "Dream Job" Sniffle's mind ends up inside of a TV and we can see Flippy as an executioner
Flippy last appears in "In Over Your Hedge" which is part of season 5
Flippy wants to relax but Lumpy keeps making noise Lumpy then causes a large amount of smoke causing
Flippy to have a flashback and the episode ends with evil Flippy using Lumpy's head to trim a bush
