Keep electric razors out of your mouth, kids.
" I Get a Trick Out of You" ( Without Pop)." Treasure Those Idol Moments" ( Without Pop).In the Halloween episode Can't Stop Coffin, Pop and Cub can be seen mourning at a gravestone. In the Halloween episode Read 'em and Weep, he was being possessed by a demon from within a book and subsequently killed Petunia in his possessed form, although it could be argued that this was really The Demon's kill, not Cub's. Lumpy was his only victim in Rink Hijinks, and he killed his father, among several others, in Cubtron Z. So far, Cub has only killed other characters in 3 episodes. Cub's deaths generally involve breathing problems, machinery, or getting crushed. He also survives Cubtron Z and the HTF Break short Happy New Year. In the internet shorts he survives Rink Hijinks, I Get a Trick Out of You, Out of Sight, Out of Mime, Just Desert, A Sucker for Love Part 1 and part 2, A Vicious Cycle, Spare Tire, and A Handy Nanny.
The only episodes where Cub survives in the TV series are Don't Yank My Chain, See What Develops, Doggone It ( Debatable), A Hole Lotta Love ( Debatable), and Wingin' It ( Debatable). His deaths are usually very gruesome, painful, tragic, and ironic. He is sometimes seen licking a lollipop, as seen in Snip Snip Hooray!, See What Develops, and A Sucker for Love Part 1.Ĭub rarely survives (though he has survived 13 times to date). He also has a habit of drooling (which did not do him well in Kringle Presents) and cooing, much like a normal baby. He has shown interest in becoming a fireman, as seen in Who's to Flame? and As You Wish. Remarkably, Cub is in 5th place in starring roles, next to the four primary characters themselves (Cuddles, Giggles, Lumpy, and Toothy). On another interesting note, Cub actually appears very often, which can come of as surprise to some as he is not as advertised or popular as the other characters who are more known. Meanwhile, Pop has only made a handful of appearances without Cub, with the only most significant example being the former's Smoochie. It seems like Cub enjoys playing with Lumpy's body parts, like in Rink Hijinks, where he ripped out Lumpy's heart while trying to get a prize, and in Just Desert, when he found Lumpy's skull and put it up to his ear like a conch shell.Ĭub notably makes much more appearances than his father, and has been presented as his own character a few times, even starring without his father on occasion, notwithstanding Cub's role as a duo character. One example of this is sucking on an electric razor as if it was a pacifier, soon ending with Pop plugging it back in, much to Cub's despair. If his father's not paying attention to him, he will often be seen wandering around operating machines by himself or carelessly drifting into death-inducing hazards. Other times, they may happen before Pop can even react to what's happening. Usually his deaths are a result of Pop's bad parenting, even though Pop clearly cares about him. He has appeared considerably more often and died much more in the series than his father. Pop has also used Cub's hat to mark his grave by putting it on his tombstone, as seen in Read 'em and Weep. If he wants to know where he went, he leaves his hat to mark his leaving spot like a marking trail, as seen in A Hole Lotta Love, however this sometimes backfires as it instead misdirects Pop away from Cub.
Because Cub is rarely seen without his cap, Pop thinks that if he sees the hat, then he's seeing his son this could be seen in Water Way to Go and Concrete Solution. Also, he is usually seen wearing a little beanie with a propeller on the top it has only been seen off his head a few times. He is the youngest and smallest character of the Happy Tree Friends and his eyes consist only of Pac-man pupils, giving him a more adorable appearance than the other characters.Ĭub is clad in a diaper with a pin. He has the appearance and personality of a baby but the intelligence and mobility of a young child (roughly 4 years of age).
