How it all began...

Flippy is a green male bear with dog tags and a green beret with checkered crest, and camo shirt. There is evidence to suggest that he fought in the Vietnam War, particularly his 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. According to writer Warren Graff, Flippy is mostly based on John Rambo (which is apparent to the fact that Flippy kills most of the characters with a knife resembling the bowie knife that Rambo uses as well as traps similar to those seen in the films). Flippy rarely appears in the series, most likely due to his repetitive behavior in most of the episodes in which he appears. He is Happy Tree Friends' most popular character and has inspired most of the Happy Tree Friends Fan characters/Flippy Fangirl characters. He lives in an overturned log resembling a Quonset hut, a structure used by the U.S. Armed Forces. Though Lumpy was picked to be the main character of the show, fans prefer Flippy to be, due to his talent of killing.

Flippy has a severe case of post traumatic stress disorder. Whenever he sees or hears something that he associates with violence or that reminds him of war (e.g., ketchup, gunshot-like sounds or crackling campfires), he goes insane, becomes extremely aggressive and kills everyone around him, believing that he is still in war. While insane, several physical features about him change: his eyes turn a different color, usually green or yellow, his voice changes from high and cute to low and evil, and his teeth become sharp. In the early Internet shorts, his teeth became crooked. He first developed this aggressive change after facing a life and death state while hiding in the dead body of one of his friends as shown in one of his War Journals. And supposedly throughout every other war he has been in his disorder, and it had had been consuming/controlling himself more frequently.

Although Flippy can be the most cruel and dangerous character in Happy Tree Friends, his good side is considered to be one of the most sociable and kindest of 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 and social before he goes crazy, or should many people say "flipping-out." Also, after he "flips-out", he does not remember the bloody rampage that follows. However, in Double Whammy, (and possibly starting from Party Animal when he resists his evil side for the first time) he finally realizes his problem and goes to Lumpy the psychiatrist for answers. He then removes his 'evil' side on Double Whammy Part 2/ Autopsy Turvy, but is soon killed by a chicken truck.

So far, Flippy has killed every character, with the possible exceptions of Splendid and Cro-Marmot. (His bomb depicted on the Overkill DVD Box Set may have killed Splendid, and his van in Autopsy Turvy may have killed Cro-Marmot, but these are still debatable.) His own confirmed deaths (killed twice in Remains To Be Seen) were all caused by machinery. Most of his deaths were caused by some kind of vehicle, whether he was operating it, or another character was. Along with that he is also killed in explosions.

Flippy is one of the main characters in the HTF spin-off Ka-Pow!, where he has an all-new appearance.

I hated Aerial for watching these ROFLMAO..... ^_^
