At least they didn't break your screen.

The term "fourth wall" originated from plays in theaters, when actors would look at the audience, talk to them, or do anything else that involved the audience. Because the stage would generally have a wall at the back and both sides, this concept involves the actors becoming involved with the audience who are at the front, which can be considered an invisible wall, making it the fourth one.

Sometimes in Happy Tree Friends, something will happen that implies the characters are aware of being fictional characters in a cartoon. The Fourth Wall is most often broken in Smoochies, but has also been broken in TV episodes.

In Smoochies

In TV Episodes

  • The Wrong Side of the Tracks: Lumpy looks at the viewer and shrugs after finding Nutty's cotton candy near the rollercoaster.
  • And the Kitchen Sink: When Pop's car lands in the water, it makes a big splash, it can be seen that there is water on the screen sliding and dripping down.
  • Party Animal:Sniffles stares at the viewer when he has an apple in his mouth, Cuddles' blood starts spreading on the screen, Flaky looking at them when removing the peanut, and at the end, the iris closes on Flippy's mouth, cutting off his lips.
  • Wipe Out: When a wave splashes on Flaky and Cuddles, it can be seen that there is water on the screen sliding and dripping down. Also, Lumpy grins at the viewer after his "hair" flies off.
  • As You Wish: After Mime makes his balloon animal, he looks at the viewer.
  • Take a Hike: They hum the HTF theme song at the start of the episode. Later, Lumpy smiles at the viewers when cooled Sniffles down.
  • Wingin' It: Flaky stares at the viewer, when she pops the raft near the end.
  • Mime to Five: Flaky breaks the fourth wall by looking at the viewers before her demise.
  • A Hole Lotta Love: After the drill machine breaks, Sniffles' and Pop's faces smash in front of what appears to be the TV screen.
  • Every Litter Bit Hurts: At the end of the episode, when Giggles' heart drops out of The Mole's bag, blood from the heart squirts outside the closing iris.
  • See What DevelopsSplendid looks at the audience dumbfounded after the Mole leaves with a photo of the superhero.
    Splendid looking at the audience
