An Inconvenient Tooth/Trivia

==Trivia==
*This episode marks Toothy's first starring role in season 5.
*This episode marks the first time Toothy receives a tooth injury since Snow Place to Go, nearly 11 years ago.
*This episode marks Truffles' third death in the series (fourth if one counts his debatable death in Breaking Wind), as he can be seen right below Toothy after the truck crash.
**Truffles also appears on a picture in Toothy's locker.
*Kenn Navarro considers this episode to be "one of the more cringeworthy episodes of the batch".
*The fertilizer in this episode is shown to only be effective when poured on soil or bones.
*This is the second episode to have a segment of Toothy's name in the title, the first being Nuttin' but the Tooth.
*This is one of the eight episodes in which a character (in this case, Toothy) is forced to cause pain to themself, the others being Lumpy in Out on a Limb, The Chokes on You and I've Got You Under My Skin, Toothy in Eye Candy, Flaky in Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya!, Petunia in Wishy Washy and Disco Bear in Easy Comb, Easy Go.
*All of the music in this episode is reused from Wishy Washy.
*Toothy drinking the fertilizer and spitting it out, causing it to grow plants on the ground, can be seen in the Still Alive teaser, except for the fact that one of the flowers in the teaser shows the title.
**Toothy filing his teeth down can be seen in the Still Alive promo.
*This is the first Happy Tree Friends episode to display the new Mondo logo on the thumbnail.
*This episode marks the second instance of the closing iris cutting off a part of a character's body (in this case, one of Lumpy's antlers). The first instance is in Party Animal, in which the iris chops off Flippy's swollen lips.
*The thumbnail for this episode on mondomedia.com spoils one of Toothy's injuries.
*This is the most viewed and highest rated Still Alive episode to date, being the first new HTF episode posted to YouTube in 34 months.
*It is the 12th video on Mondo's YouTube channel to reach 30 million views and the seventh individual HTF cartoon (not counting the widescreen version of Operation: Tiger Bomb) to hit that mark.
*This episode is Toothy's second most famous episode, after Eye Candy.
*There are some notable similarities between this episode and Eye Candy:
**Both episodes have only one starring character, which is Toothy.
**Both episodes are named after a body part.
**Both episodes focus on torturing Toothy's said body part.
**Toothy cries in both episodes and later dies by the end of each episode.
* There isn't an old Mondo Media logo in the credits.
*This episode was banned in Russia on YouTube.
*This is Toothy's latest appearance in the series so far. This makes him the primary character (excluding all 18 other characters other than the four primary characters) who hasn't appeared in an episode the longest.
== Cultural References ==
*The title of the episode is a reference of An Inconvenient Truth, a 2006 documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim.
*There is a Pencilmation episode and a Yin Yang Yo episode with the same title as this episode.
* The scene where Lumpy's antler is cut off by the closing iris could possibly be a reference to Mission: Impossible III, when a man gets a part of one of his fingers cut off by a circular cigar cutter.
== Superlatives ==
* Toothy's death is similar to Flippy's death in Without a Hitch or Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II)
*Truffles' death is similar to the multiple characters' deaths in Remains to be Seen, Sniffles' injury in A Sight for Sore Eyes, and Flaky and Russell's deaths in Happy New Year.
== Production Notes ==
*Both David Winn and Warren Graff have their voices sampled at least once in this episode for their respective characters, Lumpy and Toothy.
*There are a few minor differences between the storyboard and the episode. In the storyboard:
**No mushrooms grow from the ground.
**There is a lunchbox in Toothy's locker.
**Toothy rolls down the hill in a wheelbarrow, whereas in the final version he rolls down a wagon.
**The first half of Toothy's remaining tooth breaks on his way down the hill, just like in the final version. However, the second half was not supposed to fall off until Toothy's wagon crashed into a stump.
**Toothy's arm and blood is not visible on the tree after the crash, whereas his foot is. Truffles cannot be seen either.
**Lumpy is not wearing a hat.
*This is the first of the Still Alive episodes to be released for free. It was uploaded on mondomedia.com on January 20th, 2017 and on YouTube on January 27th, 2017.
