HTF Episode Description

Lumpy has Flippy over to watch a swimming competition on T.V. but is caught with his pants down. It’s sink or swim time as Lumpy tries to keep one step ahead of Flippy. Which one of them is going to get caught “underwear”?

Plot

"For Max"

The episode starts off with a TV being turned on. On the screen, it shows Cuddles and Giggles about to compete in a swimming race. Flippy sits on a chair as Lumpy brings a piece of cheese and a potato peeler on a plate. Unfortunately, The Mole fires his starting pistol and causes Flippy to flip out and change into Fliqpy. Grabbing the potato peeler, he slices a piece of skin off Lumpy's rump. Upon realizing the danger he is in, Lumpy tries to escape through a window, but gets stuck and Fliqpy closes the window on him.

Lumpy manages to free himself, but by skinning his lower torso and legs. He pulls his skin, now resembling a pair of pants, out the window. The wound reveals Fliqpy about to finish the job, so he runs away. Seconds later, a butterfly lands on Fliqpy's hand and reverts him back to Flippy, who marvels at the butterfly.

Meanwhile, Lumpy tries to put his skin back on and stumbles into a laundromat. He throws his skin into a washer, but it shrinks to the appearance of swim briefs. However, Lumpy sees Disco Bear on TV, about to compete at the swim competition, and gets another idea.

Russell, Cro-Marmot, Disco Bear and Lumpy later appear at the swimming pool for the next event. Flippy is seen sitting with the audience, raising a flag. As Lumpy gets ready to dive, he puts on his goggles, and The Mole fires his starting pistol which startles Flippy again. After a quick dive, Lumpy surfaces to find Flippy flipped out and turned into Fliqpy, with all of the audience and any other bystanders massacred (except for Handy whose legs are cut off).

Swimming to the other end of the pool, Lumpy cringes as Fliqpy pounces. However, Fliqpy bounces off Lumpy's "briefs", and onto a flag pole. Impaled, he painfully tries to climb back up to safety. Frantically trying to get Fliqpy down, Lumpy raises down the flag, however, this ends up disemboweling and killing him. As Lumpy salutes, his skin briefs slide down his legs.

Goofs

  1. David Winn and Aubrey Ankrum are the only voice actors to have their names written in the credits (in the "Voices" section), despite how voices from characters who are not voiced by any of the mentioned voice actors are heard.
  2. The TV channel is changed in the beginning, but the TV buttons are not visibly touched and no remote is seen.
  3. Lumpy's antlers change directions, sometimes during continuing shots.
  4. Lumpy does not feel pain upon walking despite the skin of his feet also being ripped off.
  5. It is odd that Cro-Marmot participates in the swimming contest, considering several characters are aware of what his block of ice can do in the water.
  6. Disco Bear can be seen in the swimming competition in this episode, despite his inability to swim in See What Develops.
  7. When Lumpy is about to dive in, Disco Bear's left ear and chest hair are missing (unless the scene took place at an angle).
    S3E24 Lumpy vs

    The new trio: "No eyes, No pants, No ear".

    1. In the same shot, he's missing his chest hair.
  8. Because Lumpy's veins were exposed, he should have felt a sharp pain when entering the chlorinated water
  9. After Lumpy dives into the water, Sniffles is seen at the front stairs after Flippy, but, when the scene zoomed to Fliqpy face. Sniffles is near and at the same stairs as Flippy
  10. When Lumpy is shown underwater, Nutty's dead body is nowhere to be seen.
  11. Lumpy does not stain the pool water with blood when he swims.
  12. Nutty and Truffles are nowhere to be seen in the audience, but when Lumpy surfaces, Nutty's arm is sticking out of the water and Truffles' severed head can be seen at the poolside. It is possible that one or both of them were inside the car before it crashed.
  13. When Handy's legs are cut off, his bones are not visible.
  14. After Flippy flips out and causes the carnage, Sniffles is briefly seen close to him when he was really at the far side of the bench.
  15. Sniffles is seen 'floating' when he is shown (or he was sitting down, but it looked as if he was floating).
  16. The crest on Flippy's hat managed to stay on one side for most of the episode, but it starts switching positions on his beret several times during the climax of the episode.
  17. When Fliqpy gets impaled on the flagpole, his beret never falls off his head.
