Pictures of the numerous stupid mistakes made by characters.

Flawed By Design

That doesn't look like a tooth drill.

Toothy, you know it's missing.

Lumpy's "finished" rollercoaster.

What made him think this was a good idea?

There's no reason for the nozzle to be THIS flexible.

Why wasn't that shatter proof?!

Time travel is dangerous! Just get a new glass!

Always best to put a timer on the shrinking mechanism of something meant to go inside a friend.

Acid pets. Even better in public.

Was there a purpose to his dreams being able to be changed with a TV remote?

!WARNING! Stupid idea here!

Wouldn't it have been better for Lifty to leap into the bun truck?

Fire and oil, not a good mix unless you want the boat to explode.

Safe and sound.

This is not how you ice fish.

Lumpy is ready to race!

So are Lifty and Shifty!

They don't even wear shoes.

How did it get all the way here and why can't he stop it from doing so?

Teamwork doesn't always make it better.

Seriously, Flippy? You can't identify a handicap when you aren't a flipped out, bloodthirsty maniac?

Oblivious To Death Or Injury

Lumpy must think beavers are related to unicorns.

She's not dancing, Disco Bear.

You really don't see the tentacle?

Neither Splendid nor Toothy realize Giggles is dead.

Do you not see his corpse?

Pop is once again unaware of Cub's demise. What a bad parent.

At least she looks like him now.

A seductive Disco Bear wants to kiss Giggles just because she has an "afro".

At this rate, Pop could give The Mole some competition.

Pop, The Mole (debatable), and Handy (debatable): "Best special effects we've ever seen!"

Mime: "(Shhh, he's sleeping)."

Better late than never, right?

Even the acorn didn't give it away?

You sure don't look like you're fine.

What an interesting paint job.

I'm pretty sure your son isn't sleeping.

Another hoop for my boy!

Is he blind and deaf?

Ditto.

"Perfect" Tree Friend For The Job

Pepper spraying a soda machine doesn't work.

Blind people are meant to be guided, not be guides.

Only Nutty wants this much sugar in his punch.

Making sure everyone looks good.

Yes, give Lumpy an ax.

The Blurb says it all.

Drummers don't need hands, only charisma.

Toothy, despite his name, knows nothing about dentistry.

Never give blind people sharp objects.

A dangerous decision that will lead to death of a character.

The Mole can't tell if the sky is red or not.

Doesn't being a lookout require being able to look out?

Don't cast Nutty and someone dressed as a candy cane together.

Even if he is photo aware, not a good idea.

Okay, now this is pushing it.

I'm pretty sure letting a blind guy run a blood drive isn't a good idea. Cuddles is gonna prove it.

(Why can't they hear me?)

Too blind for pictures.

What's the point of a sanitation engineer with literally no regard for the environment?

Handy's invisible hands fail him again. Maybe Mime should teach him a trick.

"Saving" Me

The real act of stupidity here is Cuddles not grabbing the stick.

Makeshift defibrillator on a seizure victim.

1. That isn't Cuddles' chest, and 2. CPR won't save him.

Splendid has this category mastered.

"Splendid: Breathe, darn you!"

An attempt to open a door with an axe goes wrong.

Another attempt to open a door with an axe goes wrong.

Lumpy doesn't know how mouth-to-mouth resuscitation works.

At least he's not on fire anymore.

Neither are they.

Pop tries to get Cub out of the sink.

She's frozen solid to it, you can't just pick her up.

You save what you can, right?

That's Not What/Who You Think It Is

Lumpy wearing Flaky's skin.

I'm pretty sure there's something off about that balloon animal.

Lifty and Shifty disguised as The Mole and Handy. This disguise should fool even the most competent policeman.

Lumpy can't see the tentacle.

Neither can Russell.

Neither can Lammy or Cuddles. Is the tentacle invisible?

Has Sniffles seriously not realized he's inside Lumpy yet?

Nutty might as well be called an anteater-eater.

I guess Pop craves otter blood.

That's not a clam or a mussel.

Fun fact: eyeballs taste like apples.

Is blindness contagious?

That's not The Mole.

Yummy! Deer juice!

Always a good idea to put shaving cream on before you shave.

This isn't the first time Lumpy wore the skin of another character.

I know The Mole's blind, but is he deaf too?

You'd think he of all people would know what ice cream looks like.

Nutty swipes a bag of cement thinking it's sugar...

and Lumpy uses a bag of sugar thinking it's cement.

Lumpy finds a new scarecrow (that could scare more than just crows).

Russell must be trying roasted bear.

Do bear cubs and concrete stomachs really look that similar?

Oops, wrong leg!

Cuddles playing football/soccer with Handy's heart.

Yum! Tastes like candy.

Just jam your fingers right through.

I know you're blind, but you still haven't figured it out?

Pink lemonade. Never drinking pink lemonade again.

Do hair products taste like soda?

Looks like a fellow ant to me.

Doesn't matter, played golf.

Cub was successfully exorcised, but Pop didn't take any chances.

You'd think they would notice, but no.

Watch Where You're Going!

If only Cuddles didn't like ice cream so much.

Distractions aren't always physical.

I guess she's cleaning something?

Drive, Sniffles, what do you even plan on doing?

Sniffles thinks planes fly themselves.

This one explains itself.

Even unseen Generic Tree Friends need to pay attention.

He wasn't even distracted by anything.

He's not even near the wheel.

Should have done that before the trip.

You can clearly see him mopping.

Never fight and drive.

Keeping your eyes open is a good way to not walk into holes.

The Mole has an excuse; Russell likes kites.

Why Didn't They Do That?

Isn't Sniffles able to take that vacuum off of his face?

Why doesn't Nutty just swallow or spit out the water? Or close his mouth?

Someone should tell Fliqpy that axes are great at chopping down doors.

Should have jumped off the roof; even if it hit Lumpy first, this still would have happened.

Look before you leap, literally.

He had all this time and used none of it to leave the house.

Mime wastes precious time making that "911" joke. And, assuming he could talk, he should have done so on the phone.

Russell could have moved his seat back so he could steer properly. Or, better yet, just called an ambulance.

I'd go to the hospital if this were me.

It would make more sense to go around if you're getting chased.

Hey, look! A power switch! Flip it! Or unplug the vacuum.

That's not going to help. Just take it out.

He's blind. Just sneak past him.

Ice cream is apparently more important than not drowning.

Tie your shoes first next time.

Instead of calm and careful placement, Handy tries this. I guess he doesn't "see" anything wrong with his method.

Why can't she just go to the bathtub or the sink to put the fire out?

Just because the Fire alarm is off, doesn't mean you have to stare at it.

Just close your eye.

You Can Deny It All You Want! (Debatable Acts)

Serving Lifty and Shifty's meat could have been showing his vengeful side.

Mime apparently didn't give clear enough instructions.

How many people really look in their drinks?

More of a reaction.

Pranks happen.

It looks stupid, but real moose aren't affected by the cold.

Don't judge. If it works, it works.

He's not causing anything doing this, is he?

Stupid or just selfish?

I'd like to see you enter their van in a racecar or on a motorcycle.

Well, this did tell him what Flippy's trigger is... Might have been the intention.

If you don't have enough body parts to make two living tree friends, make one creepy one.

Slacking off at work and stealing merchandise isn't really stupid, unless you get caught.

I thought it was the elves that are in charge of the contents of the gifts, not Santa.

Looks like a TV to me. To be fair, Lumpy shouldn't have been messing with Sniffles' stuff, since he's a janitor.

In my experience, you don't need a wet floor sign while mopping.

The chainsaw might have been there for psychological examination.

Well... again... it did work... maybe...

He can't see through the door.

Would you leave this thing to wander the streets on its own?

From this view in the telescope, it does look like an iceberg.

To be fair, he couldn't help but sneeze.

He probably didn't see that other bridge because of the pressure he was under.

He seems perfectly aware and content with eating these.

He couldn't think of another way to save himself.

Definitely an impulsive move.

Like most genies, Lumpy took the wish literally. Or it could be how Pop worded it.

A logical attempt; an HTF outcome.

Many jobs mean many random items.

Does she look stable to you?

Sniffles mainly did this to prevent Handy from biting his tongue off.

To be fair, the sign falls too quickly for Giggles...

...and Petunia to move in those two shots.

You Can Run But You Can't Hide!

Anyone want toast?

Impressive, but it won't save you.

Someone should tell him he's standing on blades designed to finely grind. Also, the pepper would make him sneeze, blowing his cover.

Should have hidden somewhere you could breathe.

This might have been a good spot if he didn't make so much noise.

After seeing Cuddles and Giggles get killed, Flaky decides this is the best way to save herself.

You Shouldn't Have Done That!

Better not forget that sand.

Lumpy, I know you can smell the gas.

That's a good idea, right?

Guess he's just that desperate.

Everyone but Lumpy knows not to use cell phones on a plane.

Quills and inflatables don't mix.

Don't do it, Flaky. What did we just tell you?

Having fun at the bowling alley.

Lumpy loves cheese.

If Petunia took chemistry class, she wouldn't have done this.

In reality, you'd get bites and stings by sticking your hand in an anthill. Either way, not a smart move.

You already knew whistling made the dog angrier.

I know, throwing up sucks, but really, Splendid?

Petunia expected this to flush?

If he brought some duct tape with him to cover up the hole, this should not happen to him.

Next time, don't light a match by a gas station.

Smoking TNT. Always a safe thing to do.

That thing had a job to do, Pop...

No matter how late you are, never shave and drive.

Lumpy should have studied up on how to do this trick.

No matter how big Lumpy is, his brain is still the same size.

He only did it once, but what did he expect to happen?

Petunia, did your mother tell you not to lean on the stove?

Look before you step.

It's never a good idea to pet a stranger's pet.

It's clearly not working, just leave him behind!

Mime should be a bit more attentive on the job.

Really? You tried to eat an obviously giant lollipop in a single bite?

Prometheus School of Running Away From Things

A regular lumberjack would move sideways.

Were these two just going to stand there before Splendid arrived?

He had plenty of time to turn before Disco Bear got this close.

Drive in the grass.

Considering how long it takes for the rocket to kill Pop here, Mime has no reason to ride forward.

Just a few steps to the side, this isn't rocket science.

Oh, come on.
