**Flippy** is a caring, green bear who can flip out into a war-like persona because of his PTSD. Whenever Flippy hears or sees anything that reminds him of warfare or combat, such as the sounds of popcorn popping, or an alarm bell ringing, he flips out and switches over to his war-like personality, who then kills everyone in the area. However, he switches back into Flippy, he usually has no memory of what happened, but can be able to see that damage and can regret what he has done.

He is the most popular character on the show, as according to official "character tournament" polls held by MondoMedia during mid-July 2013. As a result, he is often shipped with multiple fan character by fans, but often, most of these characters can be called Flippy-Sues. However, not all "lovers" of Flippy have this trait (e.g, Krazy, Ale and Flaky).

## Character Bio

### HTF Canon

Flippy is a green male bear. He wears dog tags around his neck and a green beret with checkered crest on his head. He is a retired veteran soldier in the Army. He fought in the Weaponized Animal Regiment (The W.A.R), and has an obsession with making booby traps inspired by the Viet Cong, as well as a flashback of his experience of being held captive by them (as seen in *Easy For You to Sleigh*). In addition, his attire seems to resemble the U.S. Army Special Forces, which played a role during the Vietnam War. As he fought for years, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. According to writer Warren Graff, Flippy is mostly inspired by and based on John Rambo. During the internet and TV series, it is unknown if Flippy has retired from the Army or if they are simply in a time of peace. Flippy rarely appears in the series, most likely due to his repetitive behavior in most of the episodes in which he appears. Lumpy most likely has even more kills than Flippy, since he has below 150 kills and has only appeared in 23 episodes so far.

Flippy is the only character in the series to cause the deaths of other characters on purpose in every episode which he appears, at least when he "flips out" (except *Without a Hitch*, where he never flips out for real, and *Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II)*, where all of his kills happen by accident). He has a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Whenever he sees or hears something that reminds him of war (e.g., gunshot-like sounds or crackling campfires), he becomes delusional and extremely aggressive, often killing everyone in sight. (It's possible he also has dissociative identity disorder as a result of his experience in war, judging from him basically becoming someone else in most of his appearances and the few instances he resisted his evil side during *Double Whammy Part I* and *Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow*, much like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde complex). He also might "flip out" due to anger or stress as seen in *Random Acts of Silence* and *Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark*. While flipped-out, several physical features about him change: His eyes turn a different color, usually green or yellow, his voice changes from high and cute to deep and evil, and his teeth become sharp. In the early internet shorts, his teeth simply became crooked. There has even been one instance where his eyes became small, circular, and with a light blue iris (*Remains to be Seen*). If he is in his evil state, he (along with Lumpy, The Mole, Cro-Marmot, and Nutty) doesn't have Pac-Man shaped pupils. When he is flipped out, he is known as Fliqpy.

Although Flippy can be the most cruel and dangerous character in Happy Tree Friends when "flipped out", in his normal state, he is considered to be one of the most sociable and one of the kinder characters. This is proven in several episodes where he is seen doing social activities with some of the other characters, such as going to the movies and playing hide and seek. In most of the episodes where he appears, he is shown as a friendly individual before he goes insane, or as many people say, "flipping out", hence his name. Additionally, when he "flips out", he doesn't remember the bloody rampage that follows. However, in *Double Whammy Part I*, (and possibly *Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow*, when he resists his evil side for the first time) he finally realizes his problem and goes to Lumpy the psychiatrist for answers. After three attempts to cure him, Lumpy fails. At the end of the episode *Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II)*, Flippy finally cures his post-traumatic stress disorder, but is run over soon after by a chicken truck.

He appears to be good friends with Flaky, as they are shown doing activities together like playing hide and seek, and going camping. Although Flippy has killed Flaky several times (even once on purpose in non flipped out state in *Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark*) he doesn't kill her in *Party Animal* or *Random Acts of Silence*, while she is vulnerable. Flaky's scream snapped him out of his flipped-out mode in *Double Whammy Part I*. Despite that they appear to be good friends, Flaky develops a phobia of him in the later episodes. She gets so scared of him that she gathers the courage to kill him, going to the point where she stabs him in fear when he tries to help her in *Without a Hitch*. As of *Random Acts of Silence*, Sniffles and Nutty also seem to be aware of Flippy's flip-outs, when they tried sneaking out of the library as Flippy got agitated by Mime.

He also has an allergic reaction to peanuts (or venison) just like Flaky (if his allergy to peanuts is true). The Blurb version of *Remains to be Seen* also states that he is allergic to chocolate and candy corn. However, like most Blurbs, most of the info mentioned isn't considered canon until approved, so this may not be true. Flippy also appears to be an extremely heavy sleeper, as seen in *Easy For You to Sleigh* and *Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow*.

Flippy rarely dies in the series. When he does die, his deaths usually involve vehicles, machinery, Lumpy, and explosions.

He has his own action episode called *W.A.R. Journal*, part of the *Happy Tree Friends Action Series: Ka-Pow!* show. According to the first episode, Private Flippy didn't start out as a well-honed killing machine. He accidentally threw a slice of pizza at the Tiger General rather than his knife, demonstrated an inability to throw his knife straight while under pressure, killed both of his teammates, and hid in the carcass of one of his dead teammates in fear. He flips out for the very first time when he hides inside his comrade's dead body to avoid being killed by the Tiger Soldiers. He ended up losing his hands in a fight with the Tiger General, but he was apparently able to reattach them some time between the events of *W.A.R. Journal* and the regular Happy Tree Friends series (unless these episodes, like the regular Happy Tree Friends series, revert everything back to original at the start of each new episode).

The only episodes where Flippy dies are *Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark*, *Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow*, *Autopsy Turvy (Double Whammy Part II)*, *Without a Hitch*, and *Breaking Wind* (**Debatable**).

5. Chapter Four by Avenged Sevenfold(Fliqpy, Evil Flippy) (The lyrics that totally sound like him in this song are:*Im comin' ta kill you, wont leave until you died. Murder brought avengeance, I closed my brothers eyes.Tonight")*
6. Danger Line by Avenged Sevenfold (Good Flippy) (Its about how he is sorry he hurt his friends and family and others, even himself)

8. Psycho by Imelda May (Flippy and Flipqy) (It's a mix between Flippy's point of view before he's flipped out, and in parts from the point of view of someone possibly observing Flipqy.)
