"Happy Tree Friends is a violent animated series that sees hapless woodland animals meet gory deaths at the end of each short episode... 'When it comes down to it, it's whatever makes us laugh.'"

A violent new cartoon being touted as making "South Park look like the Tweenies" is coming to the UK.

Happy Tree Friends is a violent animated series that sees hapless woodland animals meet gory deaths at the end of each short episode.

A DVD of the cult US hit is being released in the UK, and TV stations are said to be interested.

"It's sick, twisted and extremely funny," said Natascia Phillips of the DVD distributor Revolver.

The 1950s-styled animations include a rabbit poking a fork into an electric plug socket, a bear being shredded by helicopter blades, and an anteater being set alight.

The cartoons were first seen on the internet, created by a team called Mondo Media, but have since been released in the US on DVD.

'Unfortunate accidents'

It will be available in the UK from 29 September.

"Happy Tree Friends makes South Park look like the Tweenies," said Phillips.

"They have fun and play together, then they die in a variety of horrible ways, mostly through unfortunate accidents or sometimes as a result of Flippy the bear's psychotic Vietnam flashbacks which prompt his regular killing sprees."

Happy Tree Friends co-creator Ken Navarro said: "I don't think we are intentionally making a statement. When it comes down to it, it's whatever makes us laugh."

the best marketing they could ever hope for.

I've seen a few episodes, but got bored because it seemed to be the same thing all the time.

Fucking funny cartoons.

These have been around on the net for a while now. http://www.happytreefriends.com/

I bet you almost anything that was from a press release put out by the company who is putting it out over here. British folks arren't really that shockable on that sort of thing these days. They have the watershed which just means it will be on after 10pm and everyone will be happy.

Happy Tree Friends is my favorite cartoon. I showed my family and they freaked out. They actually got all excited, I showed two of my cousins, they were like "awww" at the introduction, then the television fell on Giggles and I died of laughter at the shock on their faces. I also showed them the episode with the Dental Accident LOL.

Their the most cute and cuddly little unsuspecting bastards! :) :thumbsup

P.S. And I love the introduction song!
